There are three major ways of for the treatments of post-stroke cognitive impairment.Medicine,acupuncture and the cognitive training is the most popular.Both clinical reports and experimental studies proved positive effect of acupuncture to post-stroke cognitive function impairment.There are more clinical reports and comprehensive mechanism studies on the Brain-activating and Orifice-opening Acupuncture than the other two popular treatments of acupuncture for cognitive function impairment.Acupuncture show positive effect on post-stroke cognitive function impairment.Further studies are required to validate whether acupuncture has better curative effect than cognitive training.

Objective:A new measurement index, femoral neck-lesser trochanter anteversion (FN-LTA), is proposed. To explore the feasibility and advantage of applying the FN-LTA to evaluate the proximal femoral deformity of unilateral developmental dislocation of the hip in children, so as to solve the current clinical problems.Methods:The imaging data of 90 patients with unilateral DDH admitted to our department from February 2016 to April 2017 were retrospectively analyzed, There were 13 males and 77 females. The age ranged from 0.6 to 11 years, with an average of 2.6±2.3 years. Femoral neck anteversion (FNA) and FN-LTA were measured at the affected and healthy sides. Analyze the correlation between FN-LTA and FNA, analyze the influence of gender, age, side, dislocation degree and other factors on FN-LTA, compare the difference between the affected side and the healthy side of FNA, FN-LTA, and analyze the influence of dislocation degree on this difference, compare the diagnostic efficacy and intra group consistency of FNA and FN-LTA. The possible advantages of FN-LTA in clinical application were preliminarily analyzed.Results:There was a positive correlation between FN-LTA and FNA in both healthy and affected sides (healthy side r=0.217, P=0.040, affected side r=0.298, P=0.004). FNA and FN-LTA in the affected side of DDH children were both larger than the healthy side, FNA affected side 38.86°±11.70°, healthy side 35.44°±11.16°; FN-LTA affected side 72.19°±9.17°, healthy side 61.17°±10.30°. The difference had statistical significance. FN-LTA was not affected by gender, side, degree of dislocation and other factors (gender P=0.060, side P=0.550, degree of dislocation of healthy side P=0.130, affected side P=0.705), but negatively correlated with age (healthy side r=-0.261, P=0.013, affected side r=-0.287, P=0.006). The diagnostic efficiency of FN-LTA is better, AUC FNA=0.561, AUC FN-LTA=0.736 ( P<0.05). FN-LTA and FNA had excellent intra group and inter group consistency. Inter group ICCFNA=0.956, ICCFN-LTA=0.973; intra group ICCFNA1=0.937, ICCFNA2=0.893, ICCFN-LTA1=0.887, ICCFN-LTA2=0.874. With the increase of dislocation degree, the difference between FNA and FN-LTA decreased. This decreasing trend was statistically significant in FNA ( P=0.030) but not in FN-LTA ( P=0.180). Conclusion:FN-LTA is a reliable method with a higher degree of differentiation for the assessment of anteverted deformity in DDH children' proximal end of femur, the measured data are more capable of guiding the rotation of osteotomy.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of acupuncture “Zhibian (BL 54)-to-Shuidao (ST 28)” on the reproductive function of asthenospermia model mice and to explore the possible mechanism. MethodsForty-two male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into blank group, model group, and acupuncture group, with 14 mice in each group. Cyclophosphamide 30 mg/(kg·d) was injected intraperitoneally for 7 days to establish model of asthenospermia for the model group and the acupuncture group, while 0.9% sodium chloride solution 10 ml/(kg·d) was injected intraperitoneally for 7 days in the blank group. After successful modeling, mice in the acupuncture group received acupuncture at “Zhibian (BL 54)-to-Shuidao (ST 28)” once a day for 20 minutes, 6 times a week for 3 weeks; the remaining two groups were fixed without acupuncture. Daily observations were made on the general conditions of mice in all groups, and changes in body weight after intervention were recorded. On the next day after completing the treatment, 6 male mice selected randomly from each group to test the sperm quality as well as testicular and epididymal weights, and calculate the corresponding indices; ELISA was used to test the levels of testosterone (T), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH) in serum; HE staining and TUNEL staining were performed to observe the pathological morphology and apoptosis of testicular and epididymal tissues; fluorescence quantitative PCR and western blot were used to detect changes in the expression of apoptosis-related factors (Fas), Fas-associated death domain protein (FADD), B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), and cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase)-3 mRNA and protein in testicular tissue. The remaining 8 male mice in each group were housed with estrus-cycling mice of the same strain at 1∶1 ratio, and the pregnancy rate and number of embryos per litter in each group were determined after mating. ResultsIn comparison with the blank group, mice in the model group exhibited reduced body weight, decreased testicular mass, testicular index, epididymal mass, and epididymal index. Additionally, there was a decrease in total sperm count, sperm motility, and sperm viability. Serum levels of T, FSH, and LH were reduced. The apoptosis rate increased, and the expression levels of Fas, FADD, Bax, and Caspase-3 mRNA and proteins were elevated, while Bcl-2 mRNA and protein expression levels decreased (P<0.01). Pathological abnormalities were observed in testicular and epididymal tissues, with disrupted arrangement of seminiferous tubules and a decreased number of spermatogenic cells within the tubular lumen. Furthermore, the pregnancy rate and the number of embryos per litter decreased significantly after mating (P<0.01). In comparison with the model group, mice in the acupuncture group showed improvements in testicular mass, testicular index, epididymal mass, epididymal index, total sperm count, sperm motility, and sperm viability. Serum levels of T, FSH, and LH increased. The apoptosis rate decreased, and the expression levels of Fas, FADD, Bax, and Caspase-3 mRNA and proteins decreased, while Bcl-2 mRNA and protein expression levels increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Morphological improvements were observed in testicular and epididymal tissues, with a compact arrangement of seminiferous tubules and an increased number of spermatogenic cells within the tubular lumen. Furthermore, the pregnancy rate and the number of embryos per litter increased significantly after mating (P<0.01). ConclusionAcupuncture “Zhibian (BL 54)-to-Shuidao (ST 28)” can improve testicular tissue apoptosis and enhance reproductive function in a mouse model of asthenospermia. Its mechanism may be associated with the modulation of key factors in the extrinsic membrane receptor pathway (Fas-mediated pathway) and the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway (Bcl-2/Bax-regulated pathway) in testicular tissue.
