Objective: To observe the efficacy of acupoint sticking with Jianpi Tongjing Zhitong ointment in the treatment of functional dyspepsia due to liver-qi stagnation and spleen deficiency and its effect on serum 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and ghrelin contents. Methods: One hundred patients with functional dyspepsia due to liver-qi stagnation and spleen deficiency were divided into a treatment group and a control group by the random number table method, with 50 cases in each group. The treatment group received acupoint sticking with Jianpi Tongjing Zhitong ointment and the control group was treated with mosapride citrate orally. Patients were treated for 4 weeks as a course. The therapeutic efficacy was compared after one-course treatment and the differences in gastric emptying rate, and serum 5-HT and ghrelin contents between groups were compared before and after treatment. Results: The total effective rate was 79.6％ in the control group and 89.4％ in the treatment group, showing significantly different between groups (P<0.05). After treatment, the gastric emptying rate and serum ghrelin content of the two groups increased significantly, and the serum 5-HT content decreased significantly, the intra-group differences were significant (all P<0.01). After treatment, the gastric emptying rate and serum ghrelin content were significantly higher in the treatment group than those in the control group, while the serum 5-HT was significant lower in the treatment group, the inter-group differences were significant (all P<0.05). A negative correlation (r=-0.59) was observed between serum 5-HT content and gastric emptying rate, and a positive correlation (r=0.64) was observed between serum ghrelin content and gastric emptying rate, showing statistical significance (all P<0.01). Conclusion: Acupoint sticking with Jianpi Tongjing Zhitong ointment has a remarkable clinical efficacy in treating patients with functional dyspepsia due to liver-qi stagnation and spleen deficiency and is able to influence the secretion of serum 5-HT and ghrelin. Improving the gastrointestinal motility through the regulation of related brain-gut peptides is suggested as an underlying mechanism for this therapy.

Objective To research the effects of tianeptine and lithium on expression of pCREB in hippocampus of chronic stress depression rats. Methods All the experimental rats were divided by random into : Group of depression,Group of tianeptine,Group of lithium and Group of control. The rats of Group of depression, Group of tianeptine and Group of lithium were applied stress for 21 days,and meanwhile Group of control had no stress. The rats of Group of tianeptine were fed with tianeptine (50 mg/kg) , Group of lithium were fed with lithium (60 mg/kg) , while another groups were fed with normal sodium of the same volume. The ethology examination was performed by using method of open-field and experiment of fluid consumption. The expression of pCREB was detected by Western-blotting method. Results After the chronic stress,the horizontal crossing numbers,the erection times,the modification times and the percentage of sacchar-consumption of the rats of Group of depression were 23.2±23.0;8. 1 ±7.2; 3.6 ±3.5 and (55.4 ±11.7)% respectively, which were less than Group of control (46.0±18.9;20.3±11.3;8.4±2.7 and (68.5 ±8.2)% ; P＜0.01). The horizontal crossing numbers(28. 1 ±23.0) ,the erection times(12. 1 ± 9.4) and the modification times(5.5 ±3.2) of Group of tianeptine are less than those of Group of control (P ＜ 0. 05), but no significant difference compared with Group of depression; the percentage of sacchar-consumption(62.7 ± 10.6) % ,Group of tianeptine was more than Group of depression (P＜ 0.05 ) , but no obvious difference with Group of control. The horizontal crossing numbers, the erection times, the modification times and the percentage of sacchar-consumption of Group of lithium were less than those of Group of control (P ＜ 0.05), more than those of Group of depression but no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05). In Westernblotting method,the level of pCREB in the hippocampus of Group of depression was less than that of Group of control (P＜ 0.01); that of Group of tianeptine was more than that of Group of depression (P ＜ 0.01) but no obvious difference with Group of control; that of Group of lithium was less than that of Group of control (P＜0. 01) and more than Group of depression (P＜0.01). Conclusion Tianeptine could reverse the reduction of expression of pCREB in hippocampus of chronic stress depression rats and lithium partly did it.

Objective To observe the effect of treating acute spinal cord injury in rats by transplantation of autologous activated Schwann cells(AASCs). Methods Unilateral saphenous nerves were ligated directly, free it and culture Schwann cells 1 week later using the tissue clot method. Nerve growth factor(NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF) in medium were detected in different periods. 90 female Wistar rats[(200?30) g] were randomly assigned to 3 different study groups as follows: control group A(n=30): 20% DMEM injection; research group B(n=30): autologous Schwann cells(ASCs) transplantation; research group C (n=30): AASCs transplantation. The cells were purified before transplantion to the injuried T10 spinal cord site of rats (New York University type weight drop apparatus, NYU). The recoveries of the lower extremity were observed using Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan(BBB) locomotor scoring system and somatosensory evoked potential and motor evoked potentials(SEP & MEP). And then observe the coticospinal tract(CST) using the biotinylated dextran amine(BDA) tracing. Results BBB score was higher in research group than the control group 4 weeks after injury, the statistical difference was significant(P

[Objective]To study diagnosis and treatment of insidious infection after the internal fixation of long bone fracture.[Method]Thirteen patients with insidious infection after internal fixation of long bone fracture were treated with irrigation after debridment. Among the 13 cases 8 fractures were dislodged internal fixation and then were fixed with the external fixation. 5 fractures were remained the internal fixation and were instilled after debridment. All of the patients were given with antibiotics for 2～3 weeks after operation.[Result]All the 13 patients were followed up. The follow-ranged from 8 to 48 months with an average of 23.5 months. Among the thirteen patients 11 fractured-bone had bony union, one nonunion and one case had fistula, Infection relapsed in two patients.[Conclusion]Bone defects, fracture nonunion often occur on patients who have insidious infection after internal fixation of long bone fracture. These patients need to be operated. In slight infections fracture can be remained after debridement. Fractures with seriously infectious have to dislodge internal fixation and to be fixed with made according to its radiographic changes.

Objective To assess hemodynamics of pulmonary arterial flow and to count the pulmonary artery diastolic pressure (PADP) by analysis using velocity study of main pulmonary with phase-contrast MR imaging. Methods The diameter、velocity and the maximal retrograde velocity of main pulmonary artery in 45 patients were measured with phase-contrast MR imaging and compared with cardiac catheterization. The accuracy and specificity of PADP measured with phase-contrast MR imaging were evaluated by relativity and regression analysis. Results The PADP measured with phase-contrast MR imaging was (4.82?1.24) mm Hg and that measured with right cardiac catheterization was (4.52?2.00) mm Hg in 40 patients with pulmonary regurgitation. With good correlation the correlation coefficient was 0.94(P

Objective: To study the influence of sulfur-fumigation on pharmacokinetic of peimine and peiminine of Fritillaria thunbergii in rat plasma by LC-MS/MS. Methods: After random grouping, 18 SD rats were given the solution of fresh-cut and sulfur-fumigated F. thunbergii by ig administration. The blood drug concentration of peimine and peiminine in rat plasma was determined by HPLC-MS/MS, and the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated with 3P97 software. Results: The pharmacokinetic parameters of peimine and peiminine of sulfur-fumigated F. thunbergii in rat plasma were (66.40 ± 4.65), (146.72 ± 10.88) ng/mL for Cmax, and (181.79 ± 7.85), (457.38 ± 58.81) ng∙h/mL for AUC, respectively. Those of fresh-cut sample in rat plasma were (186.37 ± 18.8), (227.65 ± 7.01) ng/mL for Cmax, and (197.70 ± 18.69), (566.16 ± 41.55) ng∙h/mL for AUC, respectively. The pharmacokinetic parameters of perimine and peiminine of sulfur-fumigated sample in rat plasma were less than those of fresh-cut sample. Conclusion: The results showed that sulfur-fumigation decreased the bioavailability of peimine and peiminine. This study could provide a basis for further clarifying the influence of sulfur-fumigation on efficacy material base of F.thunbergii.
