OBJECTIVE:To make a systematic review on the efficacy and safety of canagliflozin in the treatment of type 2 dia-betes,and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment. METHODS:Retrieved from Cochrane Library,PubMed,EM-Base,CBM and Wanfang database,randomized controlled trials (RCT) of canagliflozin (test group) versus placebo (control group)in the treatment of type 2 diabetes were collected,and Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.2 statistical soft-ware after extracting data and evaluating quality. RESULTS:A total of 7 RCTs were included,involving 2 188 patients. The results of Meta analysis indicated that glycosylated hemoglobin levels [WMD=-0.82,95%CI(-0.99,-0.65),P<0.001],the proportion of HbA1c<7%[RR=2.51,95%CI(1.98,3.19),P<0.001],fasting plasma glucose levels [WMD=-32.91,95%CI(-39.65,-26.17), P<0.001] in test group were significantly better than those of control group,the incidence of genital tract infections was significant-ly higher than control group [RR=3.76,95%CI(2.23,6.35),P<0.001];however,compared with control group,there was no sig-nificant difference in the incidence of hypoglycemia [RR=1.13,95%CI(0.40,3.20),P=0.81] and urinary tract infections[RR=1.19,95%CI(0.82,1.73),P=0.36]. CONCLUSIONS:Canagliflozin is safe and effective in the treatment of type 2 diabetes,and it needs to be noticed with genital tract infections during the clinical use. Due to the limitation of methodology,large-scale and poly-centric RCT are required for further validation of the conclusions.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate drug utilization of inpatients in neurology department of our hospital.METHODS:Category of drugs,consumption amount,consumption sum and administration time for each person of 853 cases in neurology department of our hospital in 2008 were analyzed retrospectively.RESULTS:Of total 853 inpatients,patients with stroke accounted for 82.8%.The first 3 drugs in the list of consumption amount were Nao'an capsule,folium ginkgo tablet and Shuxuetong injection.The first 3 drugs in the list of consumption sum were Shuxuetong injection,Monosialoganglioside injection and Cobamamide for injection.Aspirin tablet,Nao'an capsule and Cobamamide for injection took up the first 3 places in the list of DDDs.CONCLUSION:Inpatients in neurology department mainly suffer from cerebrovascular disease and are treated with TCM for activating blood and eliminating stasis and nervous system agents,They are also treated various complications such as infection,constipation,hypertension,diabetes and so on.Drug use in the clinic is rational.

BACKGROUND: Osteogenic growth peptide (OGP) is a newly discovered growth factor to promote osteogenesis, the effect on proliferation and differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (MSCs) arouses more and more attention.OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the effect of OGP on proliferation and differentiation of MSCs in vitro.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A randomized COntrol experiment was performed at the Key Laboratory for Oral Biomedical Engineering by the State Ministry of Education from February to June 2006.MATERIALS: A 6-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rat was used for the extraction of MSCs; and OGP was provided by Sigma Company, USA.METHODS: MSCs were cultured individually in a-MEM medium containing various COncentrations of OGP (10-11 mol/L,10-10 mol/L, 10-9 mol/L, 10-8 mol/L and 10-7 mol/L) and fetal bovine serum. The cells in the control group were cultured with α-MEM medium containing FBS alone.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Identification of MSCs; cell proliferation using MTT method; alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; core binding factorα1 (Cbfa1) mRNA expression using RT-PCR.RESULTS: The addition of OGP resulted in an increase of cell proliferation (10-9mol/L OGP, P < 0.05), ALP activity (10-8 mol/LOGP, P < 0.05) and Cbfal mRNA expression (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: OGP stimulates proliferation and sequential differentiation of MSCs via inducing Cbfal mRNA expression.

Fu-Zheng Pei-Ben therapy, as a major therapeutic principle, has become the main guiding thought of cancer therapy currently. Through the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) history, Fu-Zheng Pei-Ben thera-py is one of the most important therapies . As early as the Spring and Autumn Period , the importance of vital qi has been recorded in the Huang-Di Nei-Jing. After that, TCM doctors have enriched the connotation and extension of the Fu-Zhe ng therapy . Until modern times , Professor Liu Jiaxiang applied Fu-Zhe ng therapy to the treatment of cancer . This paper explained the sources of Fu-Zhe ng cancer therapy through the analy-sis of its history in order to provide a reference to deepen the theoretical studies in the diagnosis and treat-ment of cancer in the future .

Epidemiological studies indicated that dietary tiber was inversely associated with stroke risk.Epidemiological studies have confirmed that increased dietary fiber intake can reduce the risk of stroke.Animal experiments and clinical studies have shown that dietary fiber intake may reduce the incidence of stroke by reducing vascular risk factors,such as hypertension,diabetes,dyslipidemia,and obesity.The direct mechanism of increased dietary fiber intake reducing stroke risk remains to be further studied.Clinicians should pay attention to the important role of dietary fiber,guide the patients with stroke and individuals at risk of stroke to increase consumption of fiber-rich fruits and vegetables.

BACKGROUND:Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field and its experimental safety covers a wide scope along with the increase in accidents of tissue engineering laboratories, the safety management in tissue engineering laboratories in universities has become an important public health problem. OBJECTIVE:To enhance the safety management strategies for tissue engineering laboratories in chinese universities and improve the safety management system. METHODS:PubMed, Elseveir, WanFang and CNKI databases were retrieved for the literatures concerning the biosafety, safety management of hazardous chemicals, waste, medical information, instrument operation and human body mechanics in tissue engineering laboratories, and then the status of laboratory management was analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The status of safety management in tissue engineering laboratories in China is analyzed based on the technique characters and regulations on safety management. Management strategies for laboratory safety have been proposed according to the differences in relevant laboratory safety management between China and the US, such as regular training on laboratory safety, improving the safety consciousness of experimental staff, constructing the strict system access to laboratory, improving safety facilities, standardizing the experimental safety manual and appointing specialized safety management committee. Comprehensive and systematical regulations on laboratory safety management will ensure the smooth running of tissue engineering laboratories in universities, thus accelerating the development of tissue engineering.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between the plasma concentration of nitric oxide (NO) and prognosis of the hemorrhagic shock. Method:The blood levels of NO and Lactate (LA) were measured with fluorophotometry and colorimetry in 30 hemorrhagic shock patients,and another 30 patients for elective surgery served as a control. Result :Concentration of NO was significantly lower and that of LA was significantly higher in hemorrhagic shock group than that of control group. NO level had a negative correlation with LA level and injury index. NO level in the patients complicated by sepsis were still lower than the control. Conclusion:Decrease of NO level may result in disturbance of microcirculation and increase of LA. So nitroglycerin should be used as early as possible in the hemorrhagic shock patients.
