Objective To evaluate the effects of saxagliptin on β cell function of type 2 diabetic patients. Methods The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, CBM, VIP, and CNKI were searched from their establishment to November, 2011, for relevant randomized controlled trials on the effects of saxagliptin on β cell function in type 2 diabetic patients. Language was limited to Chinese and English only. Two reviewers independently screened the literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted the data, and evaluated and cross-checked the methodological quality. Then meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.0 software. Results Five RCTs were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: HOMA-B was significantly increased in the saxagliptin (or saxagliptin plus routine treatment) 2.5 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg groups (MD=8.03, 95%CI 4.57 to 11.48, Plt;0.000 01; MD=7.50, 95%CI 4.27 to 10.73, Plt;0.000 01; MD=17.45, 95%CI 13.93 to 20.97, Plt;0.000 01); HOMA-IR was similar between saxagliptin 2.5 or 10 mg group, and control group (MD= –0.05, 95%CI –0.18 to 0.08, P=0.47; MD= –0.18, 95%CI –0.60 to 0.24, P=0.4). Conclusion Current evidence shows that saxagliptin is effective in improving β cell function and insulin resistance. Due to short follow-up and small sample size, this conclusion has to be further proved by more high-quality RCTs.
目的 通过检测脑胶质瘤患者血清中胰岛素生长因子-1（IGF-1）和胶质纤维酸性蛋白（GFAP）的表达，探讨其与胶质瘤分级及预后评估的关系。 方法 2010年12月－2011年11月，采用双抗体一步夹心法分别测定A、B两组共40例不同级别脑胶质瘤患者术前、术后血清中IGF-1和GFAP浓度。 结果 高级别胶质瘤患者组血清中IGF-1浓度显著高于低级别胶质瘤组（P=0.009 0）；血清GFAP浓度显著低于低级别胶质瘤组（P＜0.000 1）。经手术治疗后且疗效评价为有效的胶质瘤患者，其血清中IGF-1、GFAP浓度较术前水平显著下降（P＜0.001 0）。结论 IGF-1、GFAP是两种较好的脑胶质瘤血清标志物，在其分级及预后评估中具有重要的临床应用价值。

Methods A total of 120 patients with CHD diagnosed by coronary arteriongraphy between October 2008 and April 2010 were enrolled. The patients were divided into two groups: CHD group (60 patients); CHD accompanied with T2DM group (60 patients). The levels of serum insulin, adiponectin and RBP4 were measured. All the patients underwent coronary angiography and the extent of coronary lesions was assessed quantitatively based on the Gensini′s scoring system. Results The levels of serum insulin, plasma RBP4 and the extent of coronary artery stenosis in CHD accompanied with T2DM group were significantly higher than those in CHD group (Plt;0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the level of RBP4 was positively correlated with LDL-C, insulin resistance index and the coronary artery narrow degree（r=0.312, 0.322, 0.314; Plt;0.05); and negatively correlated with adiponectin (r=-0.362, Plt;0.01). Conclusion The significant elevated plasma RBP4 in CHD patients accompanied with T2DM is positively correlated with the extent of coronary artery lesion.

Objective To investigate the effect of constitutively active Akt1 gene on rat engrafted islets in apoptosis and revascularization, and to explore potential method of gene therapy in the islet transplantation. Methods Rat islet which was transfected constitutively actived Akt1 gene via adenovirus vector using MOI=500. Thirty-six streptozotocin induced diabetic Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups complete randomly: Adv-CA-Akt1 group, Adv-LacZ group and simple transplantation group. Blood glucose and insulin were determined after operation. TUNEL was used to detect the apoptotic islet cells. HE and immunohistochemical staining of insulin were used to evaluate the histology of the islet grafts. The microvessel density (MVD) was determined by CD31 immunohistochemical staining. Results The fasting glucose level in Adv-CA-Akt1 group restored to normal 2 days after transplantation. However, in Adv-LacZ group and simple transplantation group, it reduced but still kept being hyperglycemia. And the serum insulin level was higher than other two groups ( P ＜ 0.05). Compared to simple transplantation group and Adv-LacZ group, apoptotic rate decreased 25% in Adv-CA-Akt1 group, a large number of islet grafts were seen under the capsule of the kidney, which were positively stained by insulin antibody. In the other two groups, the islet groups mass were lighter, and few positively stained by insulin antibody. MVD showed lighter positive endothelial cells stained by CD31 antibody in the other two groups than Adv-CA-Akt1 group ( P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Constitutively activate Akt1 gene can prolong graft survival during early posttransplant period, and can accelerate the revascularization of islet grafts effectively.
Objective To explore the possible anti-inflammatory mechanism of intensive insulin therapy （IIT） by studying the effect of IIT on the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, C-reactive protein （CRP） and APACHE Ⅱ score in biliary pyemia. Methods Twenty eight patients with biliary pyemia who were admitted by our department and given an operation within 24 h form Jan. 2005 to Dec. 2008 were randomly divided into two groups by using random number table numbers: one group treated with IIT （IIT group, n=14） and another group treated with routine insulin therapy （RIT group, n=14）. The inflammatory factors, such as TNF-α, IL-6 and CRP were detected dynamically and the APACHEⅡ score was calculated. ResultsThe level of CRP and APACHEⅡ score on day 5 and 7 and the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 on day 3, 5 and 7 after operation in IIT group were significantly lower than those in RIT group （P＜0.05, P＜0.0１）. Compared with preoperative levels, the IL-6 and APACHEⅡ score in IIT group commenced to decrease on day 3 after operation （P＜0.05）, that was earlier than control group. Conclusion The treatment with IIT can suppress the composition of TNF-α, IL-6 and CRP, protect impaired hepatic cells, and reduce APACHEⅡ score, the degree of systemic inflammation and incidence of MODS.
Objective To investigate the effect of short-term administration of growth hormone (GH) on serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) level and nutritional status in patients after gastrointestinal operation, and evaluate whether postoperative application of GH rise the risk of tumor recurrence. Methods Forty-eight patients undergoing major gastrointestinal operation were randomly divided into two groups: GH group （n=24） and control group （n=24）. The two groups received isocaloric isonitrogenous nutrition with daily injection of either GH 0.15 U/kg or placebo for a period of day 3-9 postoperatively. Serum albumin, fibronectin, and IGF-1 were measured before operation as a baseline, and day 3 and 10 after operation using standard laboratory techniques. Nitrogen balance was measured daily from day 3 to day 9 after operation. Postoperative complications and adverse reaction were observed. All cancer patients received regular abdominal B-type ultrasonography and chest X-ray examination during 2 years of follow-up. Results Compared with control group, GH treatment did not influence serum IGF-1 and serum albumin level （Pgt;0.05）, but improved significantly the rise from day 3 to day 10 of serum fibronectin level 〔(22.8±5.8) mg/L vs.（9.6±3.6） mg/L， P＜0.05〕 and the cumulative nitrogen balance 〔（11.37±16.82） g vs.（－9.11±17.52） g， P＜0.01〕 postoperatively. There was no severe adverse effects and complications during GH treatment. The tumor-recurrence rates were not statistically different between two groups during follow-up. Conclusions Short-term administration of low-dose GH combined with early nutrition support can improve total nitrogen retention and protein metabolism, but not influence serum IGF-1 level after major abdominal surgery. Short-term administration of low-dose GH may not cause the tumor-recurrence.
