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 analyze the characters of hospital infection among deceased inpatients.METHODS The inpatients who died in hospital from Jan 2004 to Dec 2005 were analyzed retrospectively.RESULTS The infection rate of deceased inpatients was 40.11%,and the location majored in respiratory tract,urinary system and digestive tract.The infection rate was apparently higher among the cases more than 60 years old,and those with hematological disease,circulatory disease and nervous system disease.The hospital infection rate was related with long hospitalization and had seasonal fluctuation.CONCLUSIONS The high hospital infection rate among deceased pabients may be related with the seriously underlying diseases, aging,drug abuse and invasive therapy.

Background Retinal neovascularization is associated with various disorders.Studying the pathogenesis of retinal neovascularization is of important significance.Oxygen-induced retinopathy(OIR) mouse model is a common animal model for the study of retinal neovascular diseases.However, conventional modeling methods usually cause high animal mortality and low rate of success.Objective This study aimed to establish a modified method of mouse OIR model.Methods Eighty 1-week-old SPF C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into normal control group and OIR group with 40 mice for each.The newborn mice of the normal control group were kept in a normal air environment with their breast-feeding mothers, but the mice of postnatal 2 days (P2) in the OIR group were raised with two litters per cage until P7.The P7 mice exposed to oxygen tank containing 80% oxygen together with one or another mother mouse alternately daily for 5 days and then returned to the normal air environment.The success rate of modeling,mortality rate of maternal mice and survival rate of immature mice were evaluated.The mixed solution of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and PBS with 4% paraformaldehyde was infused into the hearts of P12, P14,P17 and P21 mice and the eyeballs were obtained after the mice were sacrificed for histopathological examination of retinas and preparation of retinal flatmounts.The number of vascular endothelial cells extending inner limiting membrane was counted and the distribution of retinal vessels was evaluated.The use and care of the animals complied with the Statement of ARVO.Results The survival rate of the neonatal mice was 100% both in the normal control group and the OIR group,and the survival rate of maternal mice was 85.7% in the OIR group.Retinal new vessels were found in the mice of the OIR group,with the success rate of modeling 100%.The retinal vessels distributed from optical disc toward periphery in P14 mice in the normal group.However,in the OIR group,non-perfusion area at the posterior pole was seen in P12 mice,new blood vessels at the periphery were found in P14 mice, neovascularization at the junction area between vascular area and non-perfusion area as well as leakages were exhibited in P17 mice,and less non-perfusion area and new vessels were seen in P21 mice.Retinal inner limiting membrane was smooth in the mice of the normal group, and the vascular endothelial cell nucleus extending inner limiting membrane were seen in P12 mice and peaked in P17 mice.The vascular endothelial cell nucleus were (11.44±2.01), (31.24±1.50) and (9.23-±1.12)/slide in P14, P17 and P21 mice in the OIR group,which were significantly more than (0.27±0.14) , (0.30±0.11) and (0.32±0.16)/slide in P14, P17 and P21 mice in the normal group (t=47.90,61.30,40.70,all at P<0.05).Conclusions The method of OIR modeling is modified by alternating maternal mice,exposing to 80% oxygen-nitrogen mixture gas and cohabitating immature mice.Modified modeling method is simple with the low death rate of maternal mice and stable OIR phenotype.

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.
