Journal of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2017;34(3):325-328
Objective To observe the clinical curative effect of skin-region drainage therapy combined with Sanpian Decoction in treating migraine.Methods A total of 90 cases of migraine patients were randomly divided into combination group and acupuncture group,45 cases in each group.The combination group was treated with skinregion drainage therapy combined with oral use of Sanpian Decoction,and the acupuncture group was treated with conventional acupuncture therapy.Seven days constituted one treatment course,and the clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated after 3 courses of treatment.Results (1) The total effective rate of the combination group and acupuncture group was 95.6% and 82.2% respectively,and there were significant differences between the two groups (P < 0.05).(2) After treatment and 3 months after treatment suspension,the pain scores of the two groups were significantly decreased(P < 0.01 compared with those before treatment),and the pain scores of the combination group were lower than those of the acupuncture group (P < 0.01).Conclusion The skin-region drainage therapy combined with Sanpian Decoction exerts certain effect in treating migraine.
2.Progress in natural laccase mediators from lignocelluloses.
Chinese Journal of Biotechnology 2014;30(5):726-733
Laccase is one of the most important oxidoreductase with industrialization potential. However, due to the high cost and catalytic toxicity of laccase synthetic mediator, the laccase-mediator-system still cannot achieve industrialization. Therefore, searching for high efficient, environment-friendly, and cheap natural mediator from small molecule precursors or intermediates and degradation products of lignin has been considered as a hot research topic. Therefore, we introduce the type and catalytic mechanism of laccase mediator, the composition and separation of natural laccase mediator from water washed solution of steam exploded straw, black liquor and lignocelluloses degradation products during the fermentation of white-rot fungi. We also provide the theoretical and technical direction for exploring of high reactive of laccase natural mediators and achieving the oriented high-value utilization of lignocellulose degradation products.

3.Preface for special issue on biomass refinery (2014).
Chinese Journal of Biotechnology 2014;30(5):691-694
Biomass is the most abundant organic macromolecules in nature, which is expected to achieve the brilliant of biorefinery equivalent to petroleum refining. However, it is considered as the future industry to human due to the complicated composition and transformation processes. The traditional lignocellulose bio-refining thoughts ignored the functional requirements of products, but spent a lot of energies to destruct macromolecule into small molecules, and then converted the small molecules into different products, which was high energy consumption and low atom economy. How to realize the biorefinery of lignocellulose is the key point and difficulty to achieve the biomass industry. An ideal biorefinery of lignocellulose should as far as possibly to obtain the maximum yield of each component, to maintain the integrity of the molecule, to optimize the utilization of raw materials and finally to realize the maximum value. Therefore, it requires the raw materials refining of lignocellosic biomass should be based on the relationship of structure, process transformation and related product characteristics. This special issue reports the latest advances in the fields of raw material refinery, refining technologies, conversion technologies of component.

4.Effect of Auditory Integration Training on Language Development in Mental Retardation Children
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2013;19(7):626-627
Objective To observe the effects of auditory integration training on language development delay in mental retardation children.Methods 40 cases were devided into observation group (n=20) and control group (n=20). All the children accepted speech training,while the observation group accepted auditory integration training in addition. They were assessed with the development quotient (DQ) of adaptability and language of Gesell developmental schedules before and 6 months after treatment. Results DQ of adaptability and language improved after treatment in both groups (P<0.05), and improved more in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Auditory integration training may further improve the language development in mental retardation children.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the regulating pattern of kidney-tonifying recipes and spleen-invigorating recipe on the expression of T lymphocyte apoptosis signaling-related genes in corticosterone-treated rats. METHODS: We analyzed the activation-induced T lymphocyte apoptpsis rate through TUNEL-labelled flow-cytometry assay, quantified the mRNA expression level of T cell apoptosis-regulating genes by using the fluoresecence real-time PCR, analyzed the activity of caspase-8 and caspase-3 by colorimetric assay. RESULTS: (1) T lymphocyte apoptosis rate of corticosterone-treated rats was higher than that of the normal control rats; T lymphocyte apoptosis rates of Youguiyin treated rats and Bushen Yishou Capsule treated rats were lower than that of the corticosterone-treated group; T lymphocyte apoptosis rate of Sijunzi Decoction treated rats displayed no significance compared with that of the corticosterone-treated group. (2) Pro-apoptotic genes such as Fas, FasL, TNFR1, and Bax displayed increased expression level in corticosterone-treated group compared with normal control group. Two kidney-tonifying recipes down-regruated the expression level of FasL and TNFR1, at the same time, both recipes up-regulated the expression level of Bcl-2. The spleen-invigorating recipe had up-regulating effect on the expression level of Bcl-2. And all these results had statistical significance. (3) The activities of caspase-8 and caspase-3 were increased in corticosterone-treated rats compared with normal control; both kidney-tonifying recipes had significant effect on decreasing the activities of these two apoptosis executioners. CONCLUSION: The excessive apoptosis of T cell in corticosterone-treated rats could be effectively modulated with two kidney-tonifying recipes. Down-regulating the expression of FasL and TNFR1 and up-regulating the expression of Bcl-2 as well as decreasing the activities of caspase-8 and caspase-3 may be the unique regulating pattern of tonifying-kidney method with respect to T cell apoptosis related genes in corticosterone-treated rats.

Objective To investigate the relationship between motor abnormality of sphincter of Oddi(SO) and hepatolithiasis.Methods The hepatolithiasis rabbit models were established in adult rabbits(n=64) which were randomly divded into 2 groups:control group(n=16)and experimental group(n=48),including 2 wk,4 wk and 8 wk group(n=16 per group).During the formation process of hepatolithiasis,bile character and ratio of stone formation were both observed,then the myoelectric waves of SO were recorded.Finally,The SO segment was sliced and observed by transmissional electron microscope.Results The rate of true stone formation in group 8 wk(68.75%,11/16)was higher than that in group 4wk(12.50%,2/16)and in group 2wk(0.00%,0/16).Compared with the control group,there was significant decrease of both SO myoelectric peak amplitude and SO myoelectric frequency in the experimental group.Electron microscopy showed that SO cells in control group and 2wk group had no change,but the 4wk and 8wk groups underwent changes including fibrolysis of myofilament,increase of collagen fibers,fusion and thickening of microfilament,decrease and array disorder of macula densa,swelling of chondrosome and endoplasmic reticulum,widening of perinuclear space and deviation and pyknosis of nucleus,and formation of inclusion body in cytoplasm;and the degeneration degree in 8wk group was obvious than that in group 4wk.Conclusions The functional abnormality of SO may contribute important effects on the formation of hepatolithiasis.Fibrous degeneration of SO maybe the pathogenesis of functional abnormality of SO.
