2.Effect of Du-moxibustion on Cognitive Impairment after Stroke
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2014;(10):960-962
Objective To observe the effect of Du-moxibustion on cognitive impairment after stroke. Methods 60 patients with cognitive impairment after stroke were randomly divided into control group (n=30) and treatment group (n=30). They were treated with conventional medical treatment and rehabilitation training, the treatment group received Du-moxibustion treatment in addition with once a day, 6 days per week for 8 weeks. They were evaluated with modified Barthel Index (MBI) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) before and after treatment. Results The scores of MBI and MoCA increased after treatment (P<0.05) in both groups and the scores were higher in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Du-moxibustion can further improve the cognitive function and activities of daily living in stroke patients.

Objective To investigate the relationship between axon degeneration of Goll’s column system and Amyloid ? protein (A?) deposit sludge. Methods A? protein deposition in area of axon degeneration of Goll’s columns was measured by using immunohistochemical method.Results There was found strong positive round like A? deposit in the area of axon degeneration of Goll’s column system of GAD mouse. Spheroid appeared in the area of medullar nucleus of the Goll's column system at an age of 4 weeks. However the A? was negative and 9 weeks later, it became positive in partial spheroid and formed a strong round like material and became more and more standing up with age increase. The material mentioned above appeared consistently progressive in degeneration of axon in sequence.Conclusion It was suggested that the deposition of A? should be the result secondary to degeneration of nervous axon and be closely correlated with axon degeneration.

AIM:To investigate the effects of high-fat diet on the level of intracellular free calcium ([Ca2+]i) and the activity of angiotensinⅠconverting enzyme (ACE) in alveolar macrophages (AMs) of rabbits. The association between asthma and high-fat diet was also observed. METHODS: Twelve male New Zealand rabbits were medially divided into normal diet group and 1.2% high-cholesterol diet group randomly. 8 weeks later, bronchial alveolar lavage was performed in vitro. [Ca2+]i was determined by Fluo-2/am.The activity of ACE was detected with ultraviolet method. RESULTS: The levels of [Ca2+]i in AMs greatly increased (P

Objective To research the mechanism or pathway through which Substance P(SP) inhibits r-aminobutyric acid(GABA) activated currents in bullfrog dorsal root ganglion(DRG) neurons.Method The experiment was conducted on freshly isolated bullfrog dorsal root ganglion neurons using a whole-cell patch-clamp technique.Results SP could caused a slow inward current when SP was applied to DRG neurons;SP could inhibits GABA-activated currents;The inhibition could be reduced largely when protein kinase C(PKC) inhibiter,1-(5-isoquinolinesulphorry)-2-methylpiperazine(H-7), was dialyzed in cell body.Conclusion The SP ton inhibit GABA-activated currents through protein kinase C.

The effect and mechanism of mulberry leaves extracts (MLE) on glucose uptake of insulin-resistant HepG2 cells in vitro was explored. The insulin resistant models of HepG2 were induced by high concentration of insulin for 24 h. The models were incubated in a buffer containing mulberry leaves extracts. The glucose consumption was detected by glucose assay kits and the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), Akt activation was examined by Western blotting. Mulberry leaves polysaccharides, mulberry leaves flavonoids and mulberry leaves extracts advanced glucose uptake of insulin-resistant HepG2 cells; Mulberry leaves extracts enhance phosphorylation of AMPK. Mulberry leaves extracts do not change the phosphorylation status of Akt. The glucose consumptions of insulin resistant model of HepG2 were promoted by mulberry leaves extracts. MLE stimulates HepG2 cell AMPK activity acutely without changing the Akt activity.

Objective To establish the real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR method for the detection of bifidobacteria in human fecal samples, and to provide an effective means for measuring intestinal bacteria. Methods Total DNA of bacteria was extracted from 60 cases of children's fecal samples. Three primers of bifidobacteria based on the 16S ribosomal RNA (16SrRNA)which possessed specialities of bacteria as amplified region were designed.The part of amplified 16SrRNA gene sequences was used as standard production.The serial dilution of standard was analyzed to build an absolute quantitative standard curve with SYBR GreenⅠ dye method, and the bifidobacterium contents in sixty human fecal samples were calculated. The sensitivity of the reaction was calculated by detecting the lowest detectable standard which determined the sensitivity of the reaction. The PCR products’melting curve was used to evaluate the specificity.The coefficient of variation (CV)of different batches of standard with the same concentration was used to evaluate the stability of reaction.Results The length of PCR product fragment which was used to build the standard curve was about 6 1 3 bp, the sequencing result was consist with the goals, and the standard sample of bifidobacteria was successfully established in real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.The standard curve showed a good linear relationship with R2=0.999.The minimum detection value was 1.48×102 copies per reaction.The melting curve of real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was a single peak.The test samples were batched and then examined by fluorescence quantitative PCR.The CV of standards’ Ct values which calculated from the standard (1.48 × 103 -1.48 × 107 copies · μL-1 )were 2.94%, 3.39%, 3.54%,3.08%,and 3.34%,respectively.The contents of bifidobacteria in fecal from 60 children was 7.77± 0.86(copies · g-1 wet fecal)transformed by logarithmic.Conclusion The established real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR method has high sensitivity, strong specificity and good repeatability, which is suitable for detection of human fecal bifidobacteria content.
