Objective To investigate stilbene glycosides(TSG) and PNS concomitantly on PC12 cell survival rate of Alzheimer's disease.Methods The nerve cells that were seeded on the two culture plates were cultured for 1 day after the removal of primary culture fluid.In addition to the blank group, the model group and drug compatibility group were added 5 μl Aβ25-35 perpore to induced PC12 cell damage.To established AD cell damage model after exposure to the circumstances for 24 hours.Uniform design and factorial design were used respectively.After 1 d, using MTT method in ELISA analyzer measured the OD value of each pore, and calculating the survival rate of cells.Results The uniform design results showed that the cell survival rate was significantly linear with TSG and PNS (P<0.05).From the equation, The higher the dose, the higher the cell survival rate.In this experimental condition, TSG and PNS respectively 50 mg/L, 200 mmol/L achieved the highest cell survival rate.2×2 factorial design experiments showed that, compared with the model group, the cell survival rate of TSG-PNS group (74.46% ± 2.06% vs.65.42% ± 1.42%) increased (P<0.05), but there was no interaction between the two groups (P=0.053).This showed that the combination of the two drugs in this dose has a protective effect on AD damage.Conclusion The compatibility of total saponins of two stilbene glucoside and three seven combination has the synergistic effect of anti AD damage.

Chinese Journal of Comparative Medicine 2018;28(5):88-94
Objective To analyze the effect of a Chinese medicine Zhengqingfengtongning on the expression of aggrecanase-1(ADAMTs-4)and aggrecanase-2(ADAMTs-5)in cartilage tissue of knee joint in rabbit models of osteoarthritis,and to study the mechanism of action of Zhengqingfengtongning in treatment for osteoarthritis. Methods 32 New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into the observation group and the model group, and 16 healthy New Zealand rabbits were chosen as the blank group. The blank group did not receive the intervention treatment, the model group received physiological saline in gastric gavage, the observation group was given the Zhengqingfengtongning by gastric gavage. The soft tissue samples of knee joint in the three groups were taken at 4 weeks after drug intervention. The joint morphology,joint fluid and articular cartilage were observed by histopathology. The ADAMTs-4 and ADAMTs-5 mRNA were detected by RT-PCR. The data were then statistically analyzed. Results The grades of articular cartilage and Mankin's score of the model group were significantly higher than those of the observation group and blank group,the grades of articular cartilage and Mankin's score of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the blank group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P< 0.05). The ADAMTs-4 and ADAMTs-5 mRNA expressions of the model group were significantly higher than those of the observation group and blank group. The ADAMTs-4 and ADAMTs-5 mRNA expressions of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the blank group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P< 0.05). Conclusions The Zhengqingfengtongning can improve the degree of joint lesions in osteoarthritis animal models,which may be related to inhibiting the expression of ADAMTs-4 and ADAMTs-5.

OBJECTIVES: To quantitatively analyzing the anatomic variants on temporal computed tomography (CT) in congenital external auditory canal stenosis (EACS), congenital aural atresia (CAA), and normal ear structure. METHODS: Through a retrospective study, we analyzed 142 temporal high-resolution CT studies performed in 71 microtia patients. The following 6 parameters were compared among the three groups: Marx classification, medial canal diameter, vertical facial nerve (VFN) anterior displacement, tegmen mastoideum position, tympanic cavity volume, and malleus-incus joint or malleus-incus complex (MIC) area. RESULTS: The results showed that the microtia distributions in the Marx classification in these three groups were significantly different, as 86% (31 of 35) of ears with major microtia (third-degree dysplasia) had an atresia, and in 54.8% (23 of 42) of the minor microtic (first-degree or second-degree) ears, the bony or cartilaginous part of the external auditory canal was stenotic. Measurement data also showed that the potential medial canal diameter of the atresia group was obviously shorter than that of the stenosis group. The VFN anterior displacement and temporomandibular joint backward-shift together lead to medial canal diameters in ears with atresic canals that is smaller than those with stenotic canals. The tegmen mastoideum position was not significantly different between the three groups. CONCLUSION: The mal-development of the external auditory canal is significantly associated with auricle and middle ear developmental anomalies. Compared with CAA ears, EACS have better development of the auricle, canal, tympanic cavity and MIC and relatively safer surgical operation except for the position of the tegmen mastoideum and the VFN.

Walking disorder is the most common sequela in patients with hemiplegia after stroke.More than half of stroke patients can not walk independently after discharge,and still present a gait asymmetry and slow pace,and other abnormalities.Then,the fall risk is increased.With security concerns,patients are more afraid to walk independently and can not complete the walk in community environment.Therefore,gait rehabilitation is considered as the main goal of stroke rehabilitation.Rhythmic auditory stimulation(RAS)is a new rehabilitation method to improve stroke gait.By elucidating the mechanism of RAS and their effects on stroke gait,the aim of this paper is to explore the effective RAS treatment method for hemiplegic patients,so that RAS is not only used in gait training,but also in real-time assessment of gait in any environment for chronic stroke patients.
9.Breastfeeding in women with epilepsy
Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine 2021;24(7):531-534
Epilepsy is a common neurological disease, which requires long-term seizure control with medication. As a particular population, breastfeeding safety and the use of antiepileptic drugs during breastfeeding are significant concerns for those at childbearing age, as it involves maternal health and the growth and development of the offspring. This article reviews the latest evidence regarding breastfeeding in women with epilepsy as a reference for clinicians.

Objective To observe the changes of electroencephalogram (EEG) signal during the resting state in adolescents with smoking addiction.Methods Spectral analysis during the resting state was used to observe and analyze the EEG signals between adolescents with smoking addiction (n=21) and nosmoking control group (n=21) by using Brain Vision Analyzer software.Results Compared with the nosmoking control group,adolescents with smoking addiction showed increased alpha band signals in 3 brain regions (including left-anterior,right-anterior and midline-anterior regions,P<0.05),and decreased delta band signals in 3 brain regions (including right-posterior,midline-anterior and midline-posterior regions,P<0.05).Moreover,the signals in these brain regions were positively correlated with pack-years (alpha band:left-anterior(r=0.648,P=0.003),right-anterior (r=0.629,P=0.004),midline-anterior (r=0.456,P=0.043);delta band:right-posterior (r=0.602,P =0.005),midline-anterior (r =0.533,P=0.019),midline-posterior (r=0.692,P=0.001))in adolescents with smoking addiction.Conclusion The changes of EEG signals during the resting state in adolescents with smoking addiction may be associated with cumulative effects of smoking.
