Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2008;15(6):885-886
Objective To study the effect of acupuncture and medication on plasma ealcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP) levels in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Methods 90 patients with simple obesity were ran-domly divided into acupuncture and medication group( n = 45) and medication group( n = 45 ). All patients were ex-amined the plasma level of CGRP to observe clinical curative effect before and after 1 month treatment. Results The total effective rate of acupuncture and medication group 91.1% (41/45) was significantly higher than that in medication group 77.8 % (36/45) (P < 0.05) ; after treatment the plasma level of CGRP in two groups were signifi-candy higher than those before treatment(P < 0.05) , acupuncture and medication group was significantly higher than that in medication group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture in combination with drug could cut down nerve cell damage, and it may be significantly related to levels of CGRP in patients with acute cerebral infarction.
2.Effect of GBE50 on L-type calcium current and cytosolic[Ca~(2+)]_i in ischemic guinea pig ventricular myocytes
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2010;26(3):329-333
Aim To observe the effect of Ginkgo biloba extract 50(GBE50)on L-type calcium current and cytosolic[Ca~(2+)]_i in ischemic guinea pig ventricular myocytes.Methods Single ventricular myocytes were isolated by enzymatic dissociation. I Ca-L was recorded by whole-cell patch clamp technique in voltage clamp mode.[Ca~(2+)]_i was detected by laser confocal micros-copy and represented by relative fluorescent intensity (FI).Results During ischemia, the peak Ca~(2+) current was reduced, and the I-U curve of I Ca-L was shifted upward.50 mg·L~(-1) GBE50 reversed the change induced by ischemia(n =6, P >0.05).After perfusing ischemic solution for 12 min, intracellular calcium concentration was increased(n =10, P <0.01).After perfusion with ischemic solution containing 50 mg·L~(-1) GBE50, the increase of intracellular calcium concentration was markedly inhibited(n =10, P >0.05).Conclusion GBE50 can reverse the decrease of I Ca-L and partially inhibit calcium overloading during ischemia.

Chinese Journal of Immunology 1985;0(02):-
With use of ~(125)I-udR release test,a significant natural killer activityagainst K_(562) target cells has been determined in human peripheral wholeblood(WB).r There was a gradual decrease in NK activity as rise inthe dilution or WB.In comparison with peripheral monouclear cells(PBMC)oneself,the NK activity lowered distinctly at both 1:4 and 1:8 dilution ofWB(p0.4).It seems that neither the red blood cells nor thePlasma ffeect on NK activity of WB,The NK activity in WB as well as inPBMO was improved by incubation with human leukocyte interferon.TheNK activity of WB and PBMC in patients with hepatocellular carcinomawas signiticantly lower than in normal controls.The results showed tahtNK activity may be determined by using properly diluted WB instead orPBMC,and the assay can be easily performed in clinical practice.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of facial vein-superior ophthalmic vein approach to embolize carotid-cavernous sinus fistulas.Metheds The involved cavernous sinus was catheterized through the femoral vein-facial vein- superior ophthalmic vein approach, GDC, EDC, free microcoil, or silk were used to pack the sinus and occlude the shunt. If therer was any difficulty in catheterizing the faical vein, facial vein was exposed surgically and punctured, and then, through the superior opthalmic vein, the cavernous sinus was packed. Results 16 cavernous sinuses in 14 CCF patients(5 traumatic CCFs, 9 dural CCFs) were catheterized through facial vein-superior ophthalmic vein approach, and the technical success was achieved in 15 cavernous sinuses. Immediate angiographic cure of the shunts was achieved in 11cases, residual shunts with inferior petral sinus drainage in 2. Facial vein occlusion was encountered in 1 patient during the facial vein catheterization, further packing of the cavernous sinus was not performed, but follow-up angiography at the 21 st day revealed the spontaneous cure of the shunt. The VI cranial nerve palsy present after balloon embolization in a type A CCF was not improved after the packing of the cavernous sinus. Ocular symptoms in other patients disappeared after tranvenous embolization. The clinical follow-up period ranged from 3 to 21 months, no recurrence of the symptoms was found. Follow-up angiography in 2 patients with residual shunting showed the unchanged shunts, no further embolization was performed. No follow-up angiography was performed in other patients.Conclusions The facial vein-superior ophthalmic vein approach can be chosen as an optimum treatment for dural CCFs, and an important alternative treatment for type A CCFs after the failure of the initial balloon embolization.

Objective To summarize the technique of stent placement in treatment of fusiform aneurysms and dissecting aneurysms of vertebral artery. Methods we report a retrospective analysis of 16 aneurysms which underwent stent placement ,9 fusiform aneurysms which performed by using stent and GDC;7 dissecting aneurysms which performed by using stent first, Stent placement was followed by coil placement in the 5 aneurysms. Results all patients were cured,2 of 11 aneurysm showed up transient ischemia of cerebral.Follow-up angiographic studies performed in 13 patients from 3 months to 24 months revealed no aneurysm regrowth and no incident of in-stent stenosis.Conclusions the treatment of fusiform aneurysms and dissecting aneurysm of vertebral artery is distinguishing, Using stent combined with GDC to treat fusiform and dissecting aneurysm may restore the patency of parent artery and become safe and effective treatment for fusiform and dissecting aneurysm of vertebral artery.

Objective To investigate the effect of umbilical cord serum(UCS)during induction of dendritic cells derived from umbilical cord blood. Methods Umbilical cord blood was collected aseptically and interface cells were collected with density gradient centrifugation method,CD34 +cells were purified and collected with Mini-MACS technique. Pro-DC were obtained and were divided into 3 groups:①cultured in RPMI-1640 medium with 10%UCS and cytokine,②cultured in RPMI-1640 medium with 10%FCS and cytokine③cultured in RPMI-1640 medium with 10%FCS .Interleukin-4(IL-4),granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor(GM-CSF)and tumor necrosis factor(TNF-a)were used in the first 2 groups, but not in control group (group 3). Some cells were collected on the 8th d for phenotypes analysis. Results The expression of CD80 ,CD54 and HLA-DR on the surface of DC cultured in UCS medium had no significant difference compared with that of DC cultured in FCS medium. The expression of surface molecules in UCS-DC group and FCS-DC group were both enhanced compared with the control group. Conclusion Mature DC could be induced from pro-DC derived from umbilical cord blood when cultured with UCS instead of FCS. That provides a new approach for the clinical application of DC.

Objective To evaluate therapeutic effect and safety of hysteroscope operation in treating hysteromyoma. Methods 146 patients were subjected to transcervical resection of myoma (TCRM), curative effects were evaluated as satisfaction or dis-satisfaction according to the degree of bleeding control, the rate of growth of myoma and the need of subsequent surgery. Results The total satisfactory rate is 95%. and satisfactory rate of type 0 and Ⅰ reached 100%. There was no complication in all patients. Conclusion TCRM is the best choice in treating submucous myoma. The results of surgery were satisfactory to intramural myoma if gasp the indictions. Selecting proper indications for operation, B ultrasonic monitoring severity are important for ensuring the operation effect and safety.

Objective To investigate the association of anti-C1q antibody with disease activity and lupus nephritis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE). Methods The serum Level of anti-C1q antibody was determined in 35 patients with SLE by ELISA. The correlation between anti-C1q level and other disease activity parameters, such as SLEDAI score, anti-dsDNA antibody, C3, C4 and CH50 levels, was analyzed. Results Anti-C1q antibody was positive in 51.4% of patients with SLE, the positive rates in patients with active nephritis and without one was 77.8%(14/18) and 42.3%(22/52), respectively, and that was significantly higher in the former than in the later(P
