Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2016;35(8):899-901
Combined acupuncture-medication anesthesia refers to an anesthesia method by combining acupuncture and small dose of anesthetics, i.e. acupuncture plus local anesthesia, acupuncture plus epidural anesthesia, acupuncture plus general anesthesia, and so on, used in cardiac, chest, skull, throat, abdominal, and urinary operations. Clinical studies show that the combined acupuncture-medication anesthesia has integrated the advantage of acupuncture in regulating the function of internal organs and the advantage of drugs insedation, thus producing a better protective effect on important organs than dry drug anesthesia during and after operation. This article summarized the latest research progress of the combined acupuncture-medication anesthesia in protecting organs duringthe perioperative period of pneumonectomy, pointed out the research frontiers of the application of this anesthesia method in pneumonectomy, and was of valuable reference for the clinical study in the future.

AIM:To analyse the risk factors of age, sex, course, best corrected visual acuity(BCVA),diopter and fundus features of high myopes with progressive high myopia. METHODS: A total of 167 patients with high myopes were categorized into four groups: group 1,age of 29 years or younger; group 2,between the age of 30 to 49 years; group 3,between the age of 50 to 69 years and group 4,age of 70 years or older. The refractive errors of all patients were measured without cycloplegia with an autorefractometer. Data of the spherical equivalent(SE) of the refractive errors in diopters (D)and fundus examed by direct ophthalmoscope were used in statistical analyses.RESULTS: The number of female was statistically larger than that of male(P<0.01),also the disease course was correlated to the age. The visual acuity of high myopes significantly decreased as they grew older including the higher incidence of lacquer cracker, submacular hemorrhage, Fuchs spots, chorioretinal atrophy . CONCLUSION: Female maybe a risk factor of high myopia, advanced age is an important factor of visual acuity decrease. High myopes ought to be treated early to delay the progress of myopia and development of macular degeneration.

Objective:To investigate the in vitro effect of capsaicin on four major rat cytochrome P450 ( CYP) enzymes using a cocktail probe drug method. Methods:The in vitro incubation was divided into capsaicin group and the control group. Rat liver micro-somes, probe drugs, capsaicin at various concentration ( buffer solution in the control group) and cofactors were cultured altogether for 20 min. After the culture, the concentration of metabolites was determined by HPLC to assess the activities of enzymes. IC50 value of capsaicin on every isoform was calculated using Graphpad prism 5. 0. Capsaicin and hepatic microsomess were pre-incubated respec-tively for 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 min, and then the relative activity of the four isoforms at different time was calculated. Results:The activity of the rat liver microsomes enzyme CYP450 isoforms (CYP1A2, CYP2C11, CYP2E1 and CYP3A2) was all inhibited by capsaicin in vitro with IC50 value of 36. 21, 17. 19, 51. 64 and 18. 86 μmol·L-1 , respectively. Pre-incubation could not increase cap-saicin inhibitory activity against the four CYP enzymes. Conclusion:Capsaicin shows inhibition on CYP1A2, CYP2C11, CYP2E1 and CYP3A2 in rat liver microsomes in vitro without pre-incubation time-dependent property.
