Objective To investigate the relation between different glucose metabolism status and the IL‐6 and IL‐18 levels . Methods The pre‐diabetes group ,type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) group and healthy control group(NC) were selected with 30 ca‐ses in each group .Fasting venous blood was collected for detecting fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ,triglyceride(TG) ,total cholester‐ol (TC) ,low‐density lipoprotein‐cholesterol (LDL‐C) and high‐density lipoprotein‐cholesterol (HDL‐C) levels .Serum IL‐6 and IL‐18 levels were measured by adopting the enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) .Results The IL‐6 and IL‐18 levels in pre‐diabetes and T2DM groups were significant increased compared with those in the NC group ,the difference was statistically signifi‐cant (P<0 .01) .The IL‐6 level was positively correlated with FPG ,TG and IL‐18(P<0 .05) ,the IL‐18 level was positively correla‐ted with FPG ,TG and IL‐6(P<0 .05) .But IL‐6 and IL‐18 were negatively correlated with HDL‐C(P<0 .05) ,however ,had no cor‐relation with TC and LDL‐C (P>0 .05) .Conclusion IL‐6 and IL‐8 participated in the pathogenesis of T2DM ,their serum concen‐trations can be used as the evaluation indexes of pre‐diabetes screening and reverse intervention effect .

Objective To summarize the etiology and surgical treatment of obstructive infantile cholestasis.Methods Clinical data of 108 cases of obstructive infantile cholestasis was studied retrospectively from April 2009 to April 2014.Results Correct diagnosis was established in all 108 patients by laparoscopic biliary tract exploration and cholangiography.Among those,there were noncorrectable biliary atresia in 81 cases (75.0%),correctable biliary atresia in 5 cases (4.6%),inspissated bile syndrome in 8 cases (7.4%),infantile hepatitis syndrome in 6 cases (5.6%),choledochal cyst in 4 cases (3.7%),biliary hypoplasia in 2 cases (1.9%),1 case (0.9%) suffered from spontaneous bile duct perforation,1 case (0.9%) suffered from oppression of lymph nodes in hepatic portal.Patients of nocorrectable biliary atresia were treated with open Kasai portoenterostomy or laparoscopic Kasai portoenterostomy,correctable biliary atresia and choledochal cyst underwent laparoscopic cyst excision and Roux-Y hepaticojejunostomy,inspissated bile syndrome,infantile hepatitis syndrome and biliary hypoplasia were treated by laparoscopic cholecystostomy and biliary tract irrigation.The patient of spontaneous bile duct perforation was treated with laparoscopic common bile duct exploration and T-tube drainage,the lymph node was excised in patient with oppression of lymph nodes in hepatic portal.All infants were followed-up for 3 months to 48 months,the clearance of jaundice rate varied in patients with Kasai portoenterostomy,patients with non-Kasai portoenterostomy were all in good condition and there were no symptom recurrence.Conclusion Biliary atresia,inspissated bile syndrome,infantile hepatitis syndrome,choledochal cyst and biliary hypoplasia are the most common cause of surgery-related infantile cholestasis.Kasai portoenterostomy,hepaticojejunostomy and cholecystostomy and biliary tract irrigation are the main surgical method for surgery-related infantile cholestasis.

A series of [1,3]dioxolo[4,5-f]isoindolone derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of acetylcholinesterases (AChE). Furthermore, their effects on memory impairment of mice induced by scopolamine were investigated with step-through test. The results suggested that most of the target compounds exhibited potential inhibition on AChE with IC50 values at micromolar range. Compounds I1 (IC50 value of 0.086 μmol · L(-1)) and I2 (IC50 value of 0.080 μmol · L(-1)) showed the strongest AChE inhibitory activity, which are equipotent to donepezil (IC50 value of 0.094 μmol · L(-1)). Moreover, compounds I1-I4 could improve the memory impairment induced by scopolamine in mice.

A series of novel 4-substituted-3-nitrobenzamide derivatives were designed and synthesized. The structures of the target compounds were confirmed with 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS and element analysis. Anti-tumor activities against HCT-116, MDA-MB435 and HL-60 cell lines in vitro were evaluated by SRB assay. The results indicated most of the target compounds exhibited potent anti-tumor activity. Compound 4a showed the most potent inhibitory activities against three cancer cell lines with the GI50 values of 1.904-2.111 micromol x L(-1). Compounds 4g, 41-4n exhibited more potent inhibitory activities against MDA-MB435 and HL-60 cell lines with the GI50 values of 1.008-3.586 micromol x L(-1) and 1.993-3.778 micromol x L(-1), respectively. The structure-activity relationship of these compounds is discussed preliminarily.

Thyroid nodule is a common endocrine system disease in clinic. Its onset is mostly related to affect-mind internal damage. The core pathogenesis is dysfunction of the liver and liver-qi stagnation, and the main pathological changes are qi stagnation, phlegm turbidity and blood stasis. Constitution is inherited from the natural factors and nourished from the postnatal factors, which is closely related to the occurrence of diseases, the transformation of syndromes and the transmission of diseases. Chaihu constitution refers to the type of constitution suitable for long-term use of Bupleuri Radix and prescriptions about Bupleuri Radix. The characteristics of patients with Chaihu constitution are similar to those of patients with thyroid nodules in clinic, and the risk of developing thyroid nodules is higher. Chaihu constitution is the internal basis of thyroid nodules. When treating thyroid nodule patients with Chaihu constitution, the dominant position of Bupleuri Radix should be highlighted, and Bupleuri Radix and prescriptions about Bupleuri Radix should be used flexibly. The dosage of Bupleuri Radix is mostly between 6-15 g, and according to the change of pathogenesis, it is often combined with Chinese materia medica with the efficacy of soothing liver and promoting qi, resolving phlegm and removing turbidity, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, in order to prevent the occurrence and development of thyroid nodules.
