Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine in Intensive and Critical Care 2015;26(2):173-177
Objective To investigate the impacts of Xuebijing injection on systemic inflammatory response and immune function of patients with acute exacerbation of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted. Forty patients with severe AECOPD were divided into control group and Xuebijing group in accordance with the random number table, each group 20 cases. Both groups were treated by routine conventional basic therapy of severe AECOPD including anti-infection, phlegm-expelling formula, bronchodilators and mechanical ventilation, etc, while in Xuebijing group, intravenous drip of Xuebijing (100 mg, twice a day for 5 days) was additionally used. The changes of data of arterial blood gas analysis, blood routine examination, C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), immune function, and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation system Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score before and after therapy were observed and compared between the two groups. The length of stay in hospital, duration of mechanical ventilation, and prognosis were also compared between the two groups. Besides, according to the difference in APACHE Ⅱ score, all the patients were divided into APACHEⅡscore≥15 score group (18 cases) and APACHEⅡscore<15 score group (22 cases), and the immune function were compared between the two groups. Results ①The immune function was descended and disordered in patients with severe AECOPD. Compared with the < 15 score group, the expressions of CD45+, CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+ ratio, B-lymphocyte, natural killer cell (NK cell) in ≥ 15 score group were significantly lowered [CD45+(×106/L):663.92±100.61 vs. 1 289.92±169.38, CD3+(×106/L):342.05±108.93 vs. 882.37±172.56, CD4+(×106/L):205.96±63.97 vs. 486.24±108.64, CD4+/CD8+ratio:0.76±0.49 vs. 1.32±0.57, B-lymphocyte (×106/L):124.77±32.72 vs. 166.06±48.02, NK cells (×106/L): 186.47±39.57 vs. 243.51±44.72, all P < 0.05]. There was no statistically significant difference in the expression of CD8+ between the ≥ 15 score group and < 15 score group (P > 0.05). ② Compared with those before therapy, the pH value, oxygenation index, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), white blood cell count (WBC), CRP, PCT were significantly improved after therapy in both control and Xuebijing groups. Compared with those in the control group, WBC, CRP, PCT were significantly lowered in Xuebijing group [WBC (×109/L): 10.29±3.83 vs. 12.69±3.42, CRP (mg/L): 9.06±4.19 vs. 15.26±4.22, PCT (ng/L): 0.18±0.21 vs. 0.42±0.24, all P < 0.05]. There were no statistically significant differences in pH value, oxygenation index and PaCO2 between two groups (all P>0.05). The degrees of improvement of CD45+, CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and CD4+/CD8+ ratio were more remarkable in Xuebijing group after treatment than those in control group [CD45+ (×106/L): 1 079.38±153.86 vs. 1 015.63±157.11, CD3+ (×106/L): 652.05±100.05 vs. 596.81±106.85, CD4+ (×106/L): 358.92±67.53 vs. 329.99±72.61, CD8+ (×106/L): 205.73±35.19 vs. 230.41±39.74, CD4+/CD8+ratio: 2.16±0.63 vs. 1.52±0.54, all P < 0.05]. The B-lymphocyte and NK cell before treatment and after treatment showed no statistical significant differences between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Compared with the control group, the duration of mechanical ventilation (hours: 56.25±22.87 vs. 69.45±26.59) and the length of stay in hospital (days: 11.00±0.74 vs. 14.00±2.06) were shortened, and APACHE Ⅱ score was significantly lowered in Xuebijing group (8.21±2.97 vs. 12.08±3.12, P < 0.05). The numbers of multiple organ failure and dead patients in Xuebijing group were less than those of control group, but no statistical significant differences were found (both P > 0.05). Conclusion Xuebijing injection for treatment of patients with severe AECOPD can ameliorate inflammatory response, improve immune function, shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation and the length of stay in hospital, and decrease the risk of death.

Objective To examine the moderating effects of cognitive emotion regulation strategies on neuroticism and depression in college students.Methods Correlation and Hierarchical Regression Analysis were used to analyze the surveyed data collected from 824 college students.Results Among all the cognitive emotion regulation strategies,college students used the rational analysis most frequently (14.1 ± 2.57) and used the catastrophizing least frequently(7.74±2.76).After controlling the effects of depressive symptoms at T1,the standard regression coefficients of neuroticism to depression were significant (β=0.137,P<0.001).The standard regression coefficients of positive refocusing to depression (β=-0.073,P<0.05) and the standard regression coefficients of rumination and catastrophizing to depression were all significant(β=0.137,P<0.001 ; β=0.143,P<0.01).The interaction between neuroticism and catastrophizing were significant (β=0.0535,P<0.05),whereas the interaction between neuroticism and blaming others were significant(β=-0.620,P<0.01).Conclusion Catastrophizing positively moderates the effects of neuroticism on depression,while blaming others negatively moderates the effects of neuroticism on depression.
9.Biostimulation feedback treatment improves surface electromyography value of pelvic floor muscle during contraction in women with mild and moderate stress urinary incontinence
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2014;(33):5346-5350
BACKGROUND:Biostimulation feedback treatment has been widely used for female stress urinary incontinence. The treatment principle is based on the electromyographic signal measured and the combination of biofeedback technique and electrotherapy technique.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of biofeedback electrical stimulation in treatment of female stress urinary incontinence.
METHODS:Thirty female patients suffering from light or moderate stress urinary incontinence received biofeedback electrical stimulation for 4-8 weeks. The stimulation parameters were 60 Hz, 20-60 mA, 12-second feedback. The patients were instructed to contract pelvic floor muscle. The peak value of surface electromyography in pelvic floor muscular 2-second-rapid-contraction, mean value of pelvic floor muscular 10-second-contraction, mean value of the pelvic floor muscular 60-second-tolerance-contraction, and the rate of urine leakage were observed before and after treatment.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The peak value of surface electromyography in pelvic floor muscular 2-second-rapid-contraction, mean value of pelvic floor muscular 10-second-contraction, and mean value of the pelvic floor muscular 60-second-tolerance-contraction were significantly increased after treatment, compared with before treatment (P<0.05). The rate of urine leakage was decreased obviously after treatment (P<0.05). Biofeedback electrical stimulation can significantly increase surface electromyography value of pelvic floor muscles during contraction, and is an effective treatment for female stress urinary incontinence.
10.Studies on the pathogenesis of primary myelofibrosis
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2009;18(10):638-640
In the past decades, genetic lesions, aberrant epigenetic modifications, progenitor colonies formations and cell cycle distribution have been the focus of studies on the pathogenesis of primary myelofibrosis (PMF). The relative results showed that PMF is a clonal proliferative disease of hematopoietic stem cells. Now it is defined that primary myelofibrosis, polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythemia (ET) are chronic myeloprolfferative neoplasmas(CMPN).
