Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of auricular point sticking plus moxibustion at Zusanli (ST 36) in preventing spleen-stomach disharmony due to intravenous analgesia pump.Method Totally 120 post-operation patients with intravenous analgesia pump were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 60 in each group. Patients in the control group were asked to take a semireclining position, and to turn over the body and do morning exercise under assistance. In addition to the intervention given to the control group, the treatment group received auricular point sticking plus moxibustion at Zusanli (ST 36). The occurrence rate of post-operation nausea, vomiting and abdominal bloating was observed.Result The occurrence rate of nausea, vomiting and abdominal bloating was 11.7% in the treatment group, versus 33.3% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Auricular point sticking plus moxibustion at Zusanli (ST 36) is effective in preventing spleen-stomach disharmony due to intravenous analgesia pump, and can reduce pain and complications.

After classified into ovary mass pattern, cord-like mass pattern and non-mass pattern, 500 cases of the patients sick with infantile torticollis were treated by Tuina manipulations of pressing and rubbing method, pressing and kneading method, plucking and twisting method, extending and rotating method and the pulling method, with the corresponding manual techniques upon different pattern. The treatment ranged from 20 days to 120 days and the total effective rate was 99.4%.

Hereditary renal diseases (inherited kidney diseases) include glomerular diseases,tubular diseases and cystic diseases.The incidence of inherited kidney diseases is relatively low, but the variety of clinical insufficient understanding of the disease, the means test about inherited kidney diseases is also not standardized, easily lead to missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.As the common clinical manifestation of hereditary renal disease and congenital/hereditary renal disease are mainly low blood potassium, kidney stones, polyuria, growth retardation, and may develop renal failure without treatment.Therefore, clinicians should pay special attention to the diagnosis of congenital/hereditary renal disease, and early interventions are recommended.

Objective To investigate the protective role of Xiongbitong capsule against liver injury in hyperlipemic rats.Methods Sixty Wistar male rats were randomly divided into 5 groups(12 rats in each group): a blank group, a model group, a simvastatin group(10 mg/kg, 2 ml intragastric administration daily), a Xiongbitong capsule high-dose group(25 mg/kg, 2 ml intragastric administration daily), and a Xiongbitong capsule low-dose group(12.5 mg/kg, 2 ml intragastric administration daily). Hyperlipidemia model in rats was indeuced by hyperlipidemic diet. The simvastatin group was intragastric administrated with simvastatin suspension 2 ml(10 mg/kg daily), and the rats in the control group and the model group were intragastric administrated with equal volume of saline. After 10 weeks, the serum leves of total cholesterol(TC), triacylglycerol(TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), nitric oxide(NO), endothelin1(ET-1), and the whole blood viscosities(high-, medium-, low-shear)were measured. Liver injury were evaluated with histopathologic examination by H.E. staining. The expressions of intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1)in hepatic tissue were measured by immunohistochemical staining.Results The serum leves of TC(1.47± 0.10 mmol/Lvs. 3.48±0.19 mmol/L), TG(0.38±0.11 mmol/Lvs. 0.95±0.14 mmol/L), LDL-C(1.48± 0.18 mmol/Lvs. 2.39±0.22 mmol/L), ET-1(145.81±18.65 pg/mlvs. 177.70±17.70 pg/ml) in the Xiongbitong capsule high-dose group were significantly lower than those in the model group(allP<0.01), HDL-C(1.21±0.14 mmol/Lvs. 0.65±0.10 mmol/L)and NO(31.28±2.36μmol/Lvs. 19.61±1.28μmol/L) significantly lower than those in the model group(allP<0.01), the expressions of ICAM-1(0.133±0.019vs. 0.187±0.011)and MCP-1(0.153±0.014vs. 0.264±0.020)significantly lower than those in the model group(allP<0.01). The liver injury in the Xiongbitong capsule high-dose group decreased than that in the model group. Conclusions Xiongbitong capsule can protect against liver injury via regulating lipid metabolism, protecting endothelial function and down regulating expressions of MCP-1 and ICAM-1.

Abstract Objective:To explore the suppression of curcumin on leukemia cell line HL60/DAR. Methods: The suppression of curcumin onleukemia cell line HL60/DAR was studied by MTT;the apoptosis was studied by flow cytometric Annexin V/PI dual labeling technique and fluo-rescence microscope;the change in apoptosis related gene bcl-2 was studied by flow cytometry.Results: CUrcumin suppressed the growth ofHL60/DAR obviously IC50 were 8.94,5.2l,3.82 ?g/ml for 24,48,72 h respectively. Curcumin induced Hl60/DAR cells to apoptosisdeath. CUrcumin suppressed the expression of bcl-2. Conclusion: Curcumin can suppress the growth of HL60/DAR cells.

AIM: To reveal whether H2O2, a kind of platelet - derived growth factor (PDGF) signaling molecule, involved in the proliferation of phypoxic pulmonary arlmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) and expression of transcription factor NF -?B. METHODS: bar confocal scanning microscopy,immunocytochemistry and Western blot analysis were used. RESULTS: PDGF (30 ng/mL) elevated the intracellular H2O2 in normoxic PASMCs, but decreased that of hypoxic PASMCs significantly. When 100?mol/L H2O2 was added, NF - ?B expression were inhib- ited markedly in hypokic PASMCs, while the same concentration H2O2 resulted in increase of NF - ?B expression in control cells. CONCLUSION: H2O2, a mediator molecule of PDGF signal transduction, act as an inhibitor in hy- poxic PASMCs which is qUiet different from that in normoxic PASMCs. It may effect on the expression of transcription factor NF -?B. NF - ?B induce various gene expression that involving in the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells. One mechanism by which PDGF - induced hypoxic PASMC proliferation might be through PDGF alleviating H2O2 inhibition.

Adrenomedullin (AM) is a new peptidergic regulator of vascular function. AM serves as a hormone, which has many biological properties, plays an important role in the many pathophysiological processes, especially shock. This review will highlight the structure, biological properties of AM and the relationship between AM and shock.

AIM: To observe histopathologic changes and NF-?B expression in hippocampus in neonatal and matural rats after repeated seizures, and to explore the role of NF-?B in the pathogenesis of epilepsy in premature brain of rats. METHODS: Neonatal rats and mature rats were divided into 2 experimental groups at 10 days and 60 days after birth (P10 and P60). Convulsions were induced by repeated injection of pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) intraperitoneally for first 5 days. The animals in control group were injected with NS at the same volume in the same conditions. The neurons in CA1, CA3, dentate granule (DG), as well as in hilar were counted by thionin staining, in order to observe the profile of the necrosis and apoptosis. NF-?B expression was examined by immunohistochemistry assay. Timm's method of silver sulfide staining was adopted to observe the mossy fiber sprouting. RESULTS: (1) In immature rats (10 days old), neurons in CA1, CA3 and hilar demonstrated no differences from controls, whereas adult rats (P60) had a significant decrease in number of neurons in CA1 and CA3 (8.22?1.88, 5.62?1.68 vs 6.31?1.50, 3.62?1.40). In adult rats, neurons in dentate granule showed no differences with controls, whereas immature rats with daily seizures had a significant increase (23.25?3.06 vs 16.25?1.58). (2) There was prominent sprouting in the CA3 stratum pyramidal layer in all experimental rats after 5 daily seizures, regardless of the age. However, the degree of sprouting was significantly different between the two experimental groups (3.25?1.03 vs 1.50?0.92, P
