Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2014;(10):890-892
Objective To observe the therapeutic efficacy of acupuncture at the eight nape points in treating vertigo due to vertebrobasilar arterial insufficiency. Method Totally 150 patients with vertigo caused by vertebrobasilar arterial insufficiency were randomized into acupuncture group 1, acupuncture group 2, and a medication group, 50 each. Acupuncture group 1 was intervened by acupuncture at the eight nape points, acupuncture group 2 was by acupuncture at Baihui (GV20), Fengchi (GB20), Tianzhu (BL 10), etc, and the medication group was by oral administration of Flunarizine. The symptoms and Transcranial Doppler (TCD) results were observed before and after intervention in the 3 groups. Result After treatment, the excellent rate was 82.0%in acupuncture group 1, versus 62.0%in acupuncture group 2 and 52.0%in the medication group, and the excellent rate of acupuncture group 1 was significantly different from that of the other two groups (P<0.01). TCD showed that the systolic velocity, mean velocity, and pulsatility index of the bilateral vertebral arteries were markedly improved in acupuncture group 1, significantly better than that of the other two groups. Conclusion Acupuncture at the eight nape points can significant improve the vertebrobasilar arterial blood supply.

Seizure cluster (SC) is a common clinical phenomenon in patients with epilepsy, which was reported to be associated with post-ictal psychosis, status epilepticus, and increased risk of death, with a negative impact on the quality of life of patients and caregivers, but the diagnostic criteria, management principles and pathogenesis of SC are still unclear."seizure cluster" "acute repitetive seizures" and "cluster seizures" were used to search the relevant literatures in the databases of "Pubmed" "Wanfang Medicine" and "China Knowledge Network" from 1990 to 2019. The definitions, prevalence, risk factors, consequences, possible mechanism, and current management methods of seizure clusters were summaried in this article, to help health care professionals and patients gain a clearer understanding of SC.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus bloodletting therapy for post-stroke limb sensory disturbance.Methods Ninety patients with post-stroke limb sensory disturbance were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 45 cases each. The treatment group received acupuncture plus bloodletting therapy and the control group, acupuncture alone. The disease and motor function were scored in the two groups before and after treatment. The clinical therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups.Results There were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in the disease score and the motor function score in the two groups (P<0.05). There were statistically significant post-treatment differences in the disease score and the motor function score between the treatment and control groups (P<0.05). The total efficacy rate was 91.1% in the treatment group and 66.7% in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.01). Conclusions Acupuncture plus bloodletting therapy is an effective way to treat post-stroke sensory disturbance. It can improve the clinical symptoms and motor function in the patients.

Objective To evaluate the expression of Sp3 gene of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients in Guizhou and the relationship between Sp3 gene expression and immunological function. Methods Two pairs of primers were used to amplify cDNAs generated from 31 MS patients and 30 healthy controls. The serum levels of sIL-2R were measured in 27 patients with MS and 30 healthy controls by sandwiched ELISA. Results The deficient expression of Sp3 gene in MS patients was significantly higher than that in control (41.9% ( 12/31 ) vs 6. 7% (2/30) ,x2 =7. 133 ,P =0. 008). The sIL-2R levels in MS patients were significantly higher than those in control (( 2788.5 ± 1079. 8 ), ( 1270. 7 ± 489. 4) μg/L, t = 6. 170, P = 0. 001 ). The concentration of sIL-2R in MS with negative ((3364.0 ± 1252.3) μg/L) and positive((2450.0 ± 827.0) μg/L) expression of Sp3 gene were significantly increased compared with control (F = 32. 059, P < 0. 05 ). The sIL-2R levels were significantly rising in MS patients with negative expression of Sp3 gene compared with MS patients with positive expression of Sp3 gene ( q = 4. 213, P < 0. 05 ). Conclusions A remarkable deficient expression of Sp3 gene in PBMC has been found in MS patients in Guizhou. sIL-2R may take part in the process of MS. The expression of Sp3 gene is not affected by immune state, however, MS patients with Sp3 deficient expression tend to have a more serious impairment in immunological functions.

Objective To investigate the effect of donepezil hydrochloride on the expression of Calpain Ⅰ-Cdk5/p25 pathway in the hippocampal CA1 area by cerebral ischemia and reperfusion in mice.Methods Mice were divided into model group,sham-operated group and donepezil-treated group.The expression of Calpain Ⅰ in hippocampal CA1 area was measured by immunohistochemistry staining respectively at 4,6 and 8 weeks post cerebral ischemia and reperfusion.Western blot was used to evaluate Cdk5 and p25 protein expression.Results The abilities of learning and memory performance was damaged significantly at 4,6 and 8 weeks after surgery compared to sham-operated group (P< 0.05).The expression of Calpain Ⅰ of model group were (0.098 ± 0.009),(0.129 ±0.01),(0.116 ± 0.01),which were higher than that of sham-operated group (0.03 ± 0.003),(0.031 ± 0.003),(0.029 ±0.003) and there was significant difference (P < 0.05).The expression of Cdk5 in model group was (0.54 ± 0.05),(0.73 ± 0.07),(0.7 ± 0.06),which were higher than that of sham-operated group (0.23 ±0.02),(0.31 ± 0.02),(0.33 ± 0.02) and there was significant difference (P < 0.05).The expression of p25 in model group was (0.44 ± 0.04),(0.51 ± 0.04),(0.55 ± 0.06),which were higher than that of sham-operated group(0.19 ± 0.02),(0.24 ± 0.02),(0.2 ± 0.02) and there was significant difference (P < 0.05).The expression of Calpain Ⅰ of donepezil-treated group was (0.041 ± 0.004),(0.054 ± 0.004),(0.046 ± 0.003),which were lower than that of model group.The expression of Cdk5 was (0.28 ± 0.02),(0.33 ± 0.03),(0.38 ± 0.02),and expression of p25 was (0.26 ± 0.02),(0.25 ± 0.03),(0.21 ± 0.02),which were lower than that of model group respectively(P < 0.05).Conclusion Donepezil hydrochloride probably improve the learning and memory abilities by reducing the expression of Calpain Ⅰ and Cdk5/p25.

Objective To explore the operative cooperation of the intra-extra cranial bypass operation of the intracranial giant aneurysms. Methods A retrospective analysis of 7 patients who had intracranial giant aneurysm and received the intra-extra cranial bypass operation from October 2014 to June 2016. All preoperative and intraoperative nursing points of operative cooperation were analyzed. Results The post-operative digital subtraction angiographies of 7 patients without any perioperative nursing complications showed enough flow in the bypass arteries. Conclusions Operative multi-incision managing, positive temperature intervening, special instruments using and thrombosis preventing play very important roles in the nursing points of the successful operative cooperation.
