8.Role of circadian rhythm change in the pathogenesis of obesity and diabetes
Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2011;27(10):793-795
Increasing clinical evidence shows that modern lifestyle interrupting circadian rhythm contributes to the prevalence of obesity and diabetes.Recent genetic animal models further support the interaction of circadian rhythms and metabolic state.Circadian clock is not limited to be in central nervous system,and is also present in nearly all cells of the body,which constitute hierarchically circadian systems.The molecular circadian clock is evolved to allow organisms to anticipate and prepared for predictable,daily changes in the environment and regulates cellular and tissue function by driving patterns of gene expression and enzymatic activity.At present,basic science in this field has progressed at an extraordinary pace and is expected to continue unraveling the mechanisms linking circadian clocks to metabolism,which is important for understanding the pathophysiology of metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes,and provides a conceptual basis for the prevention and therapeutics of these diseases.
9.The evaluation on the treatment of benign primary blepharospasm by acupuncture of“streng thening spleen andd”ismtetrhi obd uCt ihneng
International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2014;(4):307-310
Objective To observe and compare the clinical effect of treating benign primary blepharospasm(BPB)with acupuncture and injection of type A botulinum toxin. Methods Between January 2012 to July 2013, 80 cases of BPB patients in ophthalmology of Tongren hospital were randomly recruited into a acupuncture group and a control group, with 40 cases in either group. The acupuncture group was treated with acupuncture on points of strengthening spleen and distributing liver and the control group was treated by type A botulinum toxin injection around effected eyes. Then effective rate, visual impairment of quality of life scale and self-rating depressive scale were tested after the treatments. Results The total effective rate of acupuncture was 95%, which was better than injection with type A botulinum toxin, with statistical difference(P<0.01). There was no statistical difference in visual impairment of quality of life scale in both groups after the treatment compared with before treatment(P>0.05). Visual impairment score was (121.88±30.16) and (121.00±28.72) in the acupuncture group and control group respectively before the treatment, However, acupuncture group(70.00±22.88)reduced less than control group(95.25±28.39)after the treatment, and there was statistical difference(P<0.01). There was no statistical difference in self-rating depressive scale in groups before treatments(P>0.05), (acupuncture group was(15.90±7.99) and control group was(15.75±6.26). However, acupuncture group(10.40±4.95)reduced less than control group(13.38±6.32)after the treatment, and there was statistical difference(P<0.01). Conclusion It proved that the therapy of acupuncture with strengthening spleen and distributing liver method for benign primary blepharospasm has a better result than injection with type A Botulinum toxin. Moreover, acupuncture can promote optical function and prevent depression for BPB patients.
10.Effect of unilateral basal ganglia hemorrhage on long-term behavioral development of neonatal rats
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2016;31(24):1879-1883
Objective To investigate the effect of unilateral basal ganglia hemorrhage on long -term behavio-ral development of neonatal SD rats.Methods Forty -eight neonatal SD rats (1 0 days after birth)were equally divided into cerebral hemorrhage (CH)group,sham operation (SH)group and normal control (NC)group randomly, 1 6 cases for each group.Stereotaxic apparatus was used to inject autologous blood 25 μL into rats′brain caudate nu-cleus to establish basal ganglia hemorrhage model,while SH group was injected with nothing,and NC group received no treatment.Berderson scoring method was used to test rats′neurological functions on the first day,the third day,the seventh day,and the fourteenth day after operation,respectively.The open -field environment test and the Lat maze were used to assess behavior of the rats on the fourteenth day after operation,lasting for 3 days continuously.Results (1 )After being modeled rats appeared with different degrees of neurological function damage.SH group rats′neurologi-cal function damage was slight,which was completely restored in the 72 hours after surgery.CH group rats appeared hemiplegia and muscle tension change.CH rats neurological scores′on the first and third day after modeling scores were separate (3.40 ±0.83)scores and (1 .1 3 ±0.92)scores respectively,and the scores were statistically higher than SH group [(0.73 ±0.59)scores and (0.1 3 ±0.35)scores]and NC group (all P <0.05).And then Bederson score de-creased,and on the seventh and fourteenth day after modeling,the Bederson scores′difference was not statistically sig-nificant among the 3 groups(P >0.05).(2)On the fourteenth day after modeling,in open -field test and the Lat maze,the number of passed panels,straightening(times)and grooming(times)in CH group were more than those in SH group and NC group respectively (all P <0.05).The difference in the number of passed panels,straightening (times)and grooming (times)between SH group and NC group was not statistically significant (P >0.05 ). Conclusions Neonatal rats focal hemorrhage in unilateral basal ganglia is strongly repairable and compensatory,which leaves no severe neurological dysfunction.The neurological function damage which is caused by unilateral basal ganglia hemorrhage can lead to the increase of autonomic activities,the decrease of non -selective attention level,attention defi-cit and other long -term behavioral abnormalities.
