1.The changes and significance of atrial natriuretic peptide after experimental pulmonary thromboembolism
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2008;15(4):592-593
Objective To compare plasma levels of ANP in experimental and control groups and continuously explore the value of ANP in diagnosis and treatment of acute PTE. Methods Thirty guinea pigs were randomized to PTE group(n = 15) and control( n = 15) group. The plasma level of ANP was examined by radioimmunoassay.Moreover, pulmonary embolism(PE) was explored at dissection and on microscopic examination after PTE. Results (1)The plasma levels of ANP in the early phase of PTE group were significantly higher than those in control group(P<0.05). (2)The plasma levels of ANP after PTE were significantly higher than those before PTE( P<0.05). (3)In the late phase of PTE, the plasma levels of ANP in PTE group declined to normal levels, compared with control group, and there was no significant difference( P>0.05). Conclusion (1) ANP, as a vasodilatory factor,was involved in mechanism of PTE,especially in the early phase of acute PTE. (2)The levels of ANP in plasma played as a sensitive marker used to observe conditions and seriousness of PTE.

Chinese Acupuncture & Moxibustion 2016;36(4):437-441
OBJECTIVETo explore the acupoints selection rules on peptic ulcer treated with acupuncture and moxibustion,so as to provide references for acupoints clinical selecting.
METHODSLiterature on clinical report and clinical study for peptic ulcer treated with acupuncture and moxibustion was retrieved in CNKI, WANFANG, VIP, CBM, PubMed, Web of Science and other databases from January 1, 2003 to August 31, 2014,and acupoints selecting rules were summarized according to syndromes and symptoms.
RESULTSOne hundred and ten articles were acquired, and acupoints the first to the fifth used were Zhongwan (CV 12), Zusanli (ST 36), Weishu (BL 21), Pishu (BL 20) and Neiguan (PC 6). The main acupoints were Zhongwan (CV 12) and Zusanli (ST 36). As to acupoints mainly selected in accordance with different syndromes: (1)Weishu (BL 21), Pishu (BL 20), Neiguan (PC 6) were matched for the syndrome of deficiency cold in the spleen and the stomach. (2) Weishu (BL 21), Pishu (BL 20), Neiguan (PC 6), Geshu (BL 17) were combined for the syndrome of qi stagnation and blood stasis. (3) Weishu (BL, 21), Pishu (BL 20), Qimen (LR 14) for the syndrome of qi stagnation induced by liver depression. (4) Neiguan (PC 6) and Taichong (LR 3) for the syndrome of liver qi invading the stomach. (5) Weishu (BL 21) and Pishu (BL 20) for the syndrome of weakness of the spleen and the stomach. (6) Weishu (BL 21), Pishu (BL 20), Neiguan (PC 6), Gongsun (SP 4) for the syndrome of cold in the stomach. (7) Weishu (BL 21), Pishu (BL 20), Neiguan (PC 6), San yinjiao (SP 6) for the syndrome of yin deficiency in the stomach. (8) Weishu (BL 21), Pishu (BL 20), Neiguan (PC 6), Yinlingquan (SP 9), Ganshu (BL 18) for the syndrome of phlegm and dampness stagnation. As for acupoints majorly selected according to different symptoms, (1) Weishu (BL 21), Pishu (BL 20), Neiguan (PC 6), Taichong (LR 3) were combined for acid regurgitation. (2) Weishu (BL 21), Neiguan (PC 6), Tianshu (ST 25), Gongsun (SP 4) were selected for abdominal distension. (3) Weishu (BL 21), Neiguan (PC 6), Liangqiu (ST 34), Gongsun (SP 4) for unbearable stomach pain. (4) Weishu (BL 21), Pishu (BL 20), Neiguan (PC 6), Qihai (CV 6), Gongsun (SP 4) for lacking in strength.
CONCLUSIONWe treating peptic ulcer with acupuncture and moxibustion mainly choose Zhongwan (CV 12) and Zusanli (ST 36), and attach importance to acupoints selection based on syndrome and symptom differentiation.

International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2021;43(2):194-198
The method of acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training in the treatment of shoulder hand syndrome after stroke is reliablet, quick, with simple operation and less adverse reactions. Among them, characteristic acupuncture could focus on the targeted points with obvious effect than ordinary acupuncture, and the combination with rehabilitation training could greatly improve the curative effect. However, there still exist some problems in the current research, such as the difficulty of conducting blind clinical trials of acupuncture therapy; the lack of follow-up data in the evaluation of curative effect, the uncertainty of long-term curative effect; the small sample size of clinical research, etc., so multi-centered and large sample RCT research are still needed.

Currently, about 300 million people worldwide are affected by asthma. Most of these sufferers inhale immunosuppressants (ie corticosteroids) and beta-adrenergic receptor agonists for their asthma treatment. However, about 5%-10% of patients of asthma have poor response to such treatment. Investigation of kinase signaling pathway and nuclear transcription factor as a target molecule in the treatment of allergic asthma has been the concern of scholars home and abroad. This paper reviewed inhibitors of kinase signaling pathway and nuclear transcription factors for the treatment of asthma.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of helmet delivered continuous positive airway pressure (Helmet-CPAP)for hypoxemia in airway extubated patients after cardiac surgery.Methods 120 adult patients in ICU from March 2014 to July 2015,who were after cardiac surgery,were enrolled.These patients who suffered hypoxemia within 48 hours after extubation,defined as that PaO2/FiO2 with oxygen mask could not reach 200,were divided into two groups.In the control group high concentration oxygen therapy with mask was delivered,while helmet-CPAP was delivered in the experimental group.Treatment duration was 6 hours.Results Helmet-CPAP significantly improved PaO2/FiO2 (144.35 ± 24.43 vs.201.35 ± 52.97,P < 0.05) and left ventricular ejection fractions(0.5383 ± 0.0844 vs.0.5540 ± 0.0844,P < 0.05).Breathing rate (22.60±5.08 vs.18.53 ±4.13,P<0.05),heart rate(102.72±17.9 vs.95.15 ±13.79,P<0.05)and shock index (0.85 ± 0.35 vs.0.75 ± 0.15,P < 0.05) were significantly lower.The rate of using mechanical ventilation (6.67% vs.28.33%,P < 0.05) and length of ICU stay[41.0(25.0,67.5) hours vs.49.5 (32.5,90.8) hours,P < 0.05] was significantly less than control group.Conclusion Helmet delivered continuous positive airway pressure is an effective and safe treatment for hypoxemia in airway extubated patients after cardiac surgery.

Objective:To compare the shear bond strength of dentin to composite resin in different post-treatment time period after tooth bleaching with the TREE dental whitening gel and observe the dentin/composite interface of each group. Methods:Eighteen intact premolars were randomly divided into 3 groups(n=6):A:The specimens were immersed into artificial saliva for 3 weeks then adhesion without bleaching; B:Adhesion immediately after bleaching for 3 weeks,during bleaching the specimens were immersed into artificial saliva; C:Before adhesion the specimens immersed in artificial saliva for further 2 weeks after bleaching for 3 weeks. Five specimens from each group were randomly submitted to shear bond strength test. The specimen remained in each group were sectioned to be observed by the scanning electron microscope.Results:(1)The shear bond strength of the group B (10.74?3.03) MPa was significantly lower than that of the group A (18.61?3.56) MPa or the group C (17.21?3.15) MPa (P0.05); (2)The resin tags present in the dentin/composite interface was scarce for the group B,and that were shorter than the group A; The resin tags of the group A and group C were similar in number,but that of the group C was shorter than that of the group A. Conclusion:The use of TREE whitening gel immediately before bonding significantly reduces bond strength,but immersion of bleached teeth in artificial saliva for 2 weeks before bonding results in a return to control bond strength.

Objective To observe conditioned enhancement of antibody production against influenza vaccine. Methods 36 female BALB/c mice were injected with 3 μg/mouse influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) as the unconditioned stimulus (UCS),and camphor odor was served as the conditioned stimulus (CS). After a CS/UCS pairing was made,animals were re-exposed to the CS at Weeks 6. Results Through one conditioned stimulus,the optical density of anti-HA antibody of the conditioned group (Weeks 9:0.68±0.06; Weeks 10:0.60±0.06)was significantly increased compared with the unconditioned group (Weeks 9:0.53±0.06; Weeks 10:0.48±0.04) ( P <0.01). The level of anti-HA antibody of the conditioned group was also significantly greater than other controlled groups( P <0.05). Conclusion Through a single exposure to camphor odor which was paired with immunization of influenza virus HA in a single trial learning protocol,a significant conditioned anti-HA IgG production occurred.
