Objective To explore the effects of Tianqijiangtang capsule combined with Metformin on the levels of IL‐6 ,TNF‐α and C‐RP protein in patients with T2DM. Methods 80 T2DM were randomized into control group (treatment with Metformin ,n= 40) and treatment group (treatment with Tianqijiangtang in combination with Metformin ,n=40). The changes of levels of IL‐6 ,TNF‐α and C‐RP were observed before and after the treatment. Results Compared to the pretreatment in the same group and after treatment in control group ,IL‐6 ,TNF‐αand C‐RP of treatment group were reduced significantly [(6.79 ± 0.60) ,(7.15 ± 0.62) vs (5.08 ± 0.43)pg/ml;(8.94 ± 0.55) ,(8.61 ± 0.66) vs (5.18 ± 0.45) pg/ml;(6.79 ± 0.60) ,(6.58 ± 0.59) vs (5.56 ± 0.30) mg/L ,P<0.01]. Conclusion Tianqijiangtang capsule combined with Metformin can decrease the levels of IL‐6 ,TNF‐αand C‐RP in T2DM patients.

Tumor cells obtain energy mainly by glycolysis to maintain growth and proliferation. It is related to the DNA mutations of mitochondria and anti-oncogene mutations. Inhibition of glycolysis can inhibit proliferation and kill tumor cells. The rate-limiting enzyme of glycolysis and hypoxia inducible factor may be the new targets for cancer therapy.

Based on the software of traditional Chinese medicine inheritance support system (TCMISS), this article aims to analyze the experience and composition rules for cough from the descendant of Meng He Medical School, Xu Di-hua. The cough cases treated by Xu Di-hua were collected, and recorded into TCMISS (V2.0). Data mining methods such as Apriori algorithm and complex system entropy cluster were used to analyze the medication principles of Xu Di-hua for cough from pathogenesis and therapeutie aspects, and dig out the frequency of the herbs in prescription, core medicine and new combinations. The experience of curing cough from Professor Xu Di-hua were well found in the research. He is good at choosing prescriptions accurately, and pays attention to simultaneous use of cold and moisture drugs with combination of tonification and purgation. He is skilled in adding or reducing materia medica flexibly, as well as regulating lung to relieve cough and eliminating phlegm by clearing heat.

Objective:To compare the microbial count method described in Chinese Pharmacopoeia ( ChP) 2010 edition and 2015 edition. Methods:The bacterial count and total aerobic microbial count for 15 samples of Jingfang granule with the same batch were tested respectively by the method described in ChP 2010 edition and 2015 edition, the average number, uncertainty, colony distribu-tion range of samples and qualified rate from the two testing items were analyzed and compared. Results:The average number of colo-nies for the bacterial count and total aerobic microbial count was 720 and 830 cfu·g-1 , the expand uncertainty of 95% confidence in-tervals was 0. 067 and 0. 061, the colony distribution range of samples was 620-840 cfu·g-1 and 720-960 cfu·g-1 , and the qualified rate was 90% and 100%, respectively. Conclusion:The microbial count method described in Chp 2015 edition is more sensitive with more reasonable result evaluation, which can guarantee the stability of inspection reports.

BACKGROUND:The key of vertebroplasty and percutaneous kyphoplasty to success is whether the puncture needle can accurately reach the vertebral body through pedicle. Therefore, it is important to identify the correct point and direction of needling in the X-ray fluoroscopy. Among many methods published in present reports, the puncture point and the puncture angle are not fixed. Few reports concerned whether the puncture needle perforated pedicle medial wal . OBJECTIVE:To seek safe, effective puncture point and the puncture angle of percutaneous pedicle from the perspective of anatomy and radiography. METHODS:The best entry point during percutaneous vertebroplasty in the X-ray fluoroscopy:dissection was performed on thoracic, lumbar skeletal samples (T 6-L 5 ) to find the position of pedicle axis leading to the rear of the vertebral body, and this position is the best entry point of percutaneous vertebroplasty. It was fixed with mini-screw. The relationship of the best entry point and pedicle developing position in the X-ray fluoroscopy was analyzed to find the best entry point in the X-ray fluoroscopy. The best entry angle during percutaneous vertebroplasty:The average included angle of pedicle axis and vertebral sagittal line was measured using autopsy and CT scanning on adult thoracic and lumbar skeletal samples (T 6-L 5 ). The best entry angle during percutaneous vertebroplasty was found. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:During percutaneous vertebroplasty, the best entry point in the X-ray fluoroscopy was the left pedicle projection 9 area and right pedicle projection 3 area. The optimal needle angle during percutaneous vertebroplasty:5°-10° in lumbar vertebra L1-L4;20° in L5, not more than 25°;about 5° in thoracic vertebra T6-T12 .

Objective To observe of the effects of tacrolimus on blood glucose,insulin secretion and the expression of phosphorylated AKT in rats in order to study the mechanism of diabetogenic effects of tacrolimus.Methods 40 male SD rats were randomly divided into two groups.The rats in tacrolimus group were delivered tacrolimus at a dose of 4mg/kg· d.The rats in the control group were given the same amount of saline solution in the same way.The body weights,fasting blood glucose levels and blood concentrations of tacrolimus were measured monthly.After 5 months,all rats were killed.Pancreas and liver tissue were stored in 4% paraformaldehyde solution.Serum insulin levels were detected by radioimmunoassay method.The expression of phosphorylated AKT in liver were measured by immunohisto-chemical method.Results ①The body weights in tacrolimus group in the 3rd,4th,and 5th month were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.01).②The blood glucose levels in tacrolimus group in the 3rd,4th,and 5th month were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05).③The insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity index in tacrolimus group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.01).④The rats in tacrolimus group showed varying degrees of damage in pancreatic duct and pancreatic islet cells.⑤The expression of phosphorylated AKT in liver cells in tacrolimus group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusions Tacrolimus can induce pancreatic islet cells necrosis,decrease the number of islet cells,reduce insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity,which lead to blood hyperglycemia in rats.In addition,we also find that tacrolimus can reduce expression of phosphorylated AKT in hepatic tissue,which indicates that tacrolimus results insulin resistance through interfering PI3K/ AKT signal transduction pathways.
