OBJECTIVETo observe the efficacy on primary osteoporosis treated with spreading moxibustion for warming yang and activating blood circulation so as to provide the effective clinical therapeutic methods for osteoporosis.
METHODSSixty cases of primary osteoporosis were randomized into a spreading moxibustion group (30 cases) and a calcium tablet group (30 cases). In the calcium tablet group, caltrate was prescribed for oral administration, 600 mg per day. In the spreading moxibustion group, on the basis of the treatment as the calcium tablet group, the spreading moxibustion was applied at Dazhui (GV 14) to Yaoshu (GV 2) for warming yang and activating blood circulation. The duration of treatment was 12 weeks. Visual analogue scale (VAS) score, TCM clinical symptom score and bone mineral density (BMD) were observed and compared before and after treatment in the patients between the two groups.
RESULTSVAS scores were reduced apparently after treatment in the two groups (both P < 0.01) and the results in the spreading moxibustion group were obviously superior to that in the calcium tablet group (2.36 +/- 0.43 vs 4.52 +/- 0.35, P < 0.01). BMD were all increased in the two groups (P < 0.05, P < 0.01) and the results in the spreading moxibustion group were superior to those in the calcium tablet group (both P < 0.05). The total clinical effective rate was 86.67% (26/30) in the spreading moxibustion group, apparently better than 63.33% (19/30) in the calcium tablet group (P < 0.05). TCM clinical symptom scores after treatment were all reduced apparently in the two groups (both P < 0.01), and the result in the spreading moxibustion group was obviously superior to that in the calcium tablet group (4.72 +/- 1.90 vs 6.82 +/- 2.30, P < 0.01). The total effective rate of TCM symptoms was 93.33% (28/30) in the spreading moxibustion group, apparently better than 70.00% (21/30) in the calcium tablet group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe combined therapy of spreading moxibustion for warming yang and activating blood circulation and the oral administration of caltrate apparently relieves pain and TCM clinical symptoms, improves BMD in the patients of osteoporosis and achieves definite clinical efficacy in the patients of osteoporosis.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of treatment of renal anemia by combination of Bushen Jianpi Recipe (BJR, a Chinese experience recipe for supplementing Shen and supporting Pi) and low dosage erythropoietin (EPO), and the influence of treatment on change of serum tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) so as to explore the possible mechanism of integrative Chinese and western medicine (ICWM) in treating renal anemia.
METHODSPatients with renal anemia were randomly divided into two groups, the ICWM group and the control group, symptomatic and supporting treatment such as dialysis, supplementing of ferrous, foliac acid and vitamin B12, was given to both groups. Additionally, to the ICWM group, 50 IU/kg of EPO subcutaneous injection for twice every week, and oral intake of BJR, one dose per day taken in two parts, were given, and to the control group, EPO alone, 50 IU/kg by subcutaneous injecting, 3 times per week, was given. The therapeutic course for two groups was 3 months. Blood levels of hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Hct), TNF-alpha were measured before treatment and the therapeutic effect was observed.
RESULTSAfter treatment, the levels of Hb and Hct increased significantly in both groups (P < 0.01), comparison between the two groups in Hb and Hct after being treated for 3 months showed significant difference (P < 0.05). The serum level of TNF-alpha was markedly higher than normal range in both groups before treatment, it significantly lowered after treatment in the ICWM group (P < 0.05), but unchanged in the control group.
CONCLUSIONCombination of BJR and EPO could significantly inhibit the production of TNF-alpha, this may be an important factor for ICWM in effectively improving sensitivity to EPO.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of acute leukemia patients during pregnancy.Methods:The clinical data of 16 cases with acute leukemia during pregnancy from January 2009 to December 2018 in the First Affiliated Hospital of USTC were retrospectively analyzed. The diagnosis and treatment regimens, pregnancy outcome, the early fetus and survival status of patients were also analyzed.Results:All 16 leukemia cases were confirmedly diagnosed and classified by bone marrow puncture, including 13 cases of acute myeloid leukemia (5 cases of non-acute promyelocytic leukemia and 8 cases of acute promyelocytic leukemia) and 3 cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. At the time of confirmed diagnosis, 6 patients were in first trimester, 6 cases in second trimester and 4 cases in late trimester. As for pregnancy outcome, 1 patient had natural birthing, 5 patients underwent cesarean operation, 9 patients underwent artificial abortion and 1 patient had spontaneous abortion. Chemotherapy was performed in 15 patients during pregnancy, 11 patients received chemotherapy for treatment of primary disease after pregnancy, 3 patients died during the treatment. During the follow-up of 13 cases, 8 patients survived and 5 patients lost follow-up.Conclusions:Early diagnosis of acute leukemia during pregnancy is very important. Bone marrow puncture should be performed timely to make clear diagnosis when blood routine result is abnormal during antenatal care. Multidisciplinary consultation should be initiated in time, and the best treatment plan should be worked out to guard against serious complications during pregnancy.

Objective:To investigate the effects of allicin on the proliferation, migration and angiogenesis of rat vascular endothelial cells (RVES), and to explore the influencing mechanism of allicin on epidural fibrosis.Methods:According to the results of preliminary experiments, RVECs were divided into control group (0 mg/L), low concentration group (25 mg/L), medium concentration group (50 mg/L) and high concentration group (100 mg/L). The morphology, viability, migration rate, cell cycle, apoptosis rate and cell lumen formation ability were measured using fluorescence microscope, AnnexinV-FITC double staining, PI/RN-asestaining, scratch assay and Transwell experiments test. Western Blot was used to measure the protein expression level of JAK2, STAT3, p-STAT3, PCNA, Bax and Bcl-2 protein. Using random number method, 36 adult male SD rats were divided into sham operation group, saline group and allicin group, with 12 rats in each group. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, Masson staining and immunohistochemical staining were used to analysis the epidural fibrosis in each group.Results:With the increase of concentration of allicin, cell viability, cell migration and lumen formation ability significantly lower than that of control group ( P<0.05). With the increase of allicin concentration, the percentage of cells in the G1 and S phases gradually decreased ( P<0.05), the percentage of cells in the G2 phase and the apoptosis rate gradually increased ( P<0.05), and the cells were blocked in the G2/M phase. With the increase of allicin concentration, the protein expression levels of JAK2, STAT3, p-STAT3, PCNA and Bcl-2 were gradually down-regulated ( P<0.05), while the protein expression level of Bax was gradually up-regulated ( P<0.05), the ratio of p-STAT3/STAT3 was decreased ( P<0.05), and the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 was increased ( P<0.05). There was no death, infection or abnormal gait in all the experimental animals. Dense scar tissue could be observed in the extradural area of the sham operation group and the epidural area of the control group, but there was obvious space between the epidural scar and the dura mater in the allicin group, and the density of collagen, the number of blood vessels, and the protein density of p-STAT3 were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Allicin inhibits angiogenesis and the severity of epidural scar after laminectomy, and the mechanism may be through inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway of vascular endothelial cells.
