Objective To investigate the effect of early intervention on adhesion molecule NB-3 expressing in cerebral injured neonatal rat induced with intrauterine infection. Methods Pregnant rats were consecutively injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) 380 μg/kg or saline 17 d after gestation. The offspring from the LPS group accepted early intervention (I group, n=40) or not (NI group, n=40), and those for saline group were as control group (n=40). They were assessed with suspension test 14 d and 28 d after born, and the expression of were NB-3 were detected with immunohistochemistry 1 d, 7 d, 14 d, 21 d, 28 d after born. Results The expression of NB-3 was different among these 3 groups, as well as the scores of suspension test (P<0.001). Conclusion Intrauterine infection increases the expression of NB-3 of neonatal rats with brain damage. The early intervention may increase persistently the expression of NB-3, and improve the motor function.

Aim To observe the effect of a treatment proposal named “Golden Triangle” ( Atorvastatin, Tongxinluo,and Aspirin) on the vasa vasorum angio-genesis of early atherosclerosis lesions in rabbits carotid artery. Method Seventy-two healthy New Zealand rabbits with half males and half females were divided into 6 groups randomly ( n =12 ):control group, model group, Tongxinluo group ( TXL ) , atorvastatin group ( ATO ) , aspirin group ( ASP ) , golden triangle group ( ATS) . The control group was fed with common feed-stuff, and all the other groups′ right carotid arteries were equipped with the silicone tube,and were then fed with fatty feedstuff. The Tongxinluo group, the Atorvas-tatin group and the Aspirin group were given suspen-sion of Tongxinluo supermicro powder(0. 3 g·kg-1 · d-1 ) , Atorvastatin ( 2. 5 mg · kg-1 · d-1 ) and Aspirin (12 mg·kg-1·d-1),the golden triangle group were given suspension of Tongxinluo supermicropowder (0. 3g·kg-1 ·d-1),atorvastatin(2. 5 mg·kg-1 · d-1 ) and Aspirin ( 12 mg · kg-1 · d-1 ) . All the groups were fed with medicine for 4 weeks. Tissue slice of carotid artery was stained with HE and observed un-der light microscope. The change of blood liquid was detected by biochemical assay. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the protein expression of CD34 around the carotid artery adventitia. Color micro-sphere method was used to detect the blood flow vol-ume change of the cartoid artery microvascular. VEFG, VEGFR-2 gene and protein expression in the cartoid artery were detected by Real-time PCR and Western Blot. Result Compared with the control group,the content of VEGF, VEGFR-2 gene and pro-tein expression and the microvascular blood flow vol-ume of cartoid artery microvascular in the model were significantly increased ( P <0. 01 ) . But those in each drug group were lighter than those in the model group (P<0. 01,P <0. 05). In the ATS group,the content of VEGF, VEGFR-2 gene and protein expression and the microvascular blood flow volume of cartoid artery microvascular were lower than those in the TXL, ATO and ASP group ( P <0. 01 , P <0. 05 ) . Compared with the ASP group,the content of VEGFR-2 protein expres-sion was significantly decreased(P<0. 01)in the TXL and ATO group. VEGF,VEGFR-2 gene and protein ex-pression in different subgroups showed no significant difference( P >0. 05 ) . The content of CD34 was de-creased in TongxinLuo group,atorvastatin group,aspirin group and ATS group. Conclusion The ATS project can reduce the expression of VEGF,VEGFR-2, inhibit the vasa vasorum angiogenesis and decrease proinflam-matory substances in the tunica media and intima of vascular wall. It plays an important role in intervening in the process of AS.

Objective To observe the effect of acupoint thread-embedding at Neiguan (PC6) and Zusanli (ST36) on anxiety and sleep disorders after heroin withdrawal. Method Sixty-seven patients with heroin addiction were randomized into a Neiguan group (25 cases), a Zusanli group (22 cases) and a Neiguan plus Zusanli group (20 cases), to receive corresponding treatments once every 20 d, for 4 sessions in total. The Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were adopted to observe the anxiety and sleep condition before and after the treatment. Result After 60 d thread-embedding treatment, the total and standard SAS scores, sleep initiation time and total PSQI score were significantly decreased in the 3 groups (P<0.05), and the sleep durations were significantly extended (P<0.05); in comparing the improvement of anxiety, Neiguan plus Zusanli group > Neiguan group >Zusanli group (P<0.05); in comparing the improvement of sleep, Neiguan plus Zusanli group was superior to both Zusanli group and Neiguan group (P<0.05), while there was no significant difference between Zusanli group and Neiguan group (P>0.05). Conclusion It's effective to use thread-embedding at Neiguan and Zusanli independently or together for anxiety and sleep disorders after heroin withdrawal, but the efficacy is more significant when the two points are used in combination, indicating the synergy of acupoints.

Objective The incidence of alcoholic fatty liver increases year by year in recent years .The aim of this study was to establish an animal model of AFL to investigate the pathogenesis of hepatic fibrosis . Methods This study involved 40 male Japa-nese rabbits aged (17.01 ±1.54) d and weighing 1.00-1.52 kg, which were equally randomized to an experimental group and a control group.The animals in the former group received lavage of 10 mL of 50%ethanol twice a day, with normal feedstuff and water, while those in the control group received normal feedstuff and water only .We performed ultrasonography for dynamic liver presentation before and at 12, 16, and 20 weeks after feeding, followed by pathological observation of the livers . Results After 12 weeks of eth-anol garage , fatty liver was observed in 18 of the rabbits and it deteriorated with the prolonged time of administration . The body weight was significantly decreased in the experimental rabbits as com-pared with the controls at 16 weeks ([2.48 ±0.30] vs [2.78 ± 0.15] kg, P<0.05) and 20 weeks ([2.61 ±0.44] vs [3.10 ± 0.13] kg, P<0.05).Ultrasound and pathological grading showed 1 mild, 3 moderate, and 13 severe cases of fatty liver in the experimen-tal group, but none in the control , and pathological examination re-
vealed similar results (1 mild, 4 moderate, and 12 severe cases of fatty liver) in the former group.At 20 weeks, alcoholic fatty liver was found mainly in the S3-S4 stage. Conclusion Alcoholic fatty liver models could be successfully established in rabbits by etha-nol garage and ultrasonography is useful for monitoring the development and progression of the condition .
