Objective To investigate the effect of nerve growth factor(NGF)in the process of muscular neurotization of denerva- ted vascularized skeletal muscle.Method By using NGF(0.5 ?g/d) to transplanted skeletal muscle,muscular neurotization was exa- mined with histological,histochemical,electron microscope and immunohistochemical methods at various time.Result NGF was effective in promoting muscular neurotization and diminishing denervated muscle atrophy in grafted denervated skeletal muscle.Conclusion NGF can promote the muscular neurotization and diminish denervated muscle atrophy.

OBJECTIVETo observe the difference in the therapeutic effects on knee osteoarthritis (KOA) among auricular electroacupuncture therapy plus isolated moxibustion with Lingxian herbal paste (combined therapy), electroacupuncture (EA) and TDP irradiation.

METHODSEighty-nine cases were randomized into three groups. In the combined therapy group (30 cases), the auricular electroacupuncture therapy was adopted together with the isolated moxibustion with Lingxian herbal paste. The auricular points were xi (AH4), pizhixia (AT4), shenmen (TF4), etc. The Lingxian herbal paste was applied at Yanglingquan (GB 34), Dubi (ST 35), Zusanli (ST 36), Neixiyan (EX-LE 4), Heding (EX-LE 2) and Ashi points. In EA group (29 cases), EA was applied at the acupoints that were same as those in the isolated moxibustion with Lingxian herbal paste. In TDP group (30 cases), TDP irradiation was given at the affected knee. The treatment was given once every day, 10 treatments made one session and there was 1 week at the interval among sessions. Totally, 3 sessions of treatment were required. KOA clinical symptom and physical sign score and the single item pain symptom score of Lequesne index were observed before treatment and 1 week after treatment in the patients of each group separately. The efficacies were compared among the three groups.

RESULTSOne week after treatment, the total score of symptoms and physical signs of the patients in each group was reduced significantly as compared with that before treatment (all P < 0.05). The improvements in the symptoms and physical signs in the combined therapy group were better than those in the other two groups (1.50 +/- 1.57 vs 2.52 +/- 1.82, 2.63 +/- 1.97, both P < 0.05). The improvement in pain in the combined therapy group was also better than that in the other two groups (2.37 +/- 0.81 vs 2.83 +/- 0.92, P < 0.05; 2.37 +/- 0.81 vs 3.03 +/- 0.77, P < 0.01). The curative rate in the combined therapy group was 40.0% (12/30), which was higher than 17.2% (5/29) in EA group and 20.0% (6/30) in TDP group separately (both P < 0.01). The overall efficacy in the combined therapy group was superior to the other two groups (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe auricular electroacupuncture therapy plus isolated moxibustion with Lingxian herbal paste is advantageous at the total score of the symptoms and physical signs and the overall efficacy in the patients of KOA as compared with EA at the local acupoints and local TDP irradiation.

This paper has reported the effect of preservation myceh'al fungus by the methods of slant and rubber plug. The mycelial fungus preserved include 29 genera, 69 species, 128 strains. The preservation time is from 2 years to 17 years. By slant inoculation, their survival conditions are still good keep their original charaters. The result shows that it is simple and effective preserving some mycelial fungus by the methods of slant and rubber plug.

Objective To investigate the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated rec eptor γ (PPARγ) and glucokinase (GK) induced by Wnt signaling pathway in mice NIT-1 β-cells,and to explore the interaction between PPARγ and Wnt signaling pathways.Methods Recombinant Wnt3a protein was applied to NIT-1 beta-cells to activate Wnt signaling pathway.The expression of PPARγ was determined by real-time PCR and Western blotting.The expression of GK was determined by real time PCR.Results Wnt3a rapidly activated Wnt/β-catenin/TCF signaling pathway,and increased PPARγ and GK mRNA expression by 41.2％ and 65.0％ in NIT-1cells,with PPARγ protein expression increasing by 97.8％ (P＜0.01).These effects were abrogated by Wnt and PIK3 inhibitors,dickkopf 1 and wortmannin treatment (P＜ 0.01).Conclusions PPARγ and GK can be upregulated by Wnt singnaling,and the effects might partially be PI3K-dependent.

OBJECTIVE:To discuss the feasibility of the development of pharmaceutical care by clinical pharmacist based on micro letter public platform. METHODS:The content and method of pharmaceutical care based on micro letter public platform were introduced by registering micro letter public platform public number,building reasonable medication guidance team,releasing reasonable medication information regularly. RESULTS:40 pieces of reasonable medication information had been pushed by micro letter public platform of our department during Aug.-Nov. 2014,and 350 users added our public platform. The pushed information was mainly about reasonable drug use(57.5%),read by 18 585 persons,and read by 465 person per time in average. Reposted or collected 2 190 times in total,reposted or collected 55 times in average,each piece of information was read by 4 219 person per time at the most. CONCLUSIONS:The pharmaceutical care by pharmacists depending on micro letter public platform contribute to put pharmacist team together,build professional image and provide pharmaceutical care for the public in the information age.
