Objective To investigate effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on delayed encephalopathy after carbon monoxide poisoning (DEACMP).Methods This was a prospective random study of 60 patients with DEACMP admitted to Beijing Tiantan Hospital.Among them,32 constituted the HBOT group and 28 were controls.All of the patients in both groups were given drugs to improve microcirculation and rehabilitation treatment.Additionally,the patients in the HBOT group were given hyperbaric oxygen therapy.The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE),the Barthel index and an index of age-related white matter changes (ARWMC) were used assess the patients' cognition,motor function and cerebral white matter lesions on the day of enrollment and on the 35th and 70th day after treatment.Results Before treatment there was no significant difference in average MMSE,Barthel index or ARWMC scores between the groups.In the HBOT group the average MMSE and Barthel index scores on the 35th and 70th day after enrollment were significantly higher than on the day of enrollment and the average ARWMC score on the 70th day was significantly lower than at enrollment.On the 35th day the average MMSE and Barthel index scores of the HBOT group were significantly higher than those of the control group,but there was no significant difference in the groups' average ARWMC scores.On the 70th day after enrollment the HBOT group's average MMSE and Barthel index scores were still significantly higher than those of the control group,but its average ARWMC score was significantly lower.Conclusion HBOT can help improve cognitive and notor function and also alleviate cerebral white matter lesions of DEACMP patients.

Objective: To observe the therapeutic effects of needle warming moxibustion for chronic diarrhea. Methods: Two-hundred cases with chronic diarrhea were divided randomly into a treatment group and a control group. 100 cases in the treatment group were treated with needle warming moxibustion on specific acupoints. 100 cases in the control group were treated by oral administration of Smecta. Results: The therapeutic results showed cure in 52 cases, remarkable effect in 34 cases, improvement in 14 cases and the total effective rate in 100.0% in the treatment group, and cure in 5 cases, remarkable effect in 23 cases, improvement in 33 cases, failure in 39 cases and the total effective rate in 61.0% in the control group. The comparison of the total effective rate between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: The needle warming moxibustion on specific acupoints is better than oral administration of Smecta in the therapeutic effects.

Objective To observe the effect of single intensive hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) on cytochrome C and caspase-3 in rats af-ter permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) very early. Methods Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to per-manent MCAO model using the intraluminal suture method, and were divided into control group (n=24) and HBO group (n=24). The HBO group stayed in the hyperbaric cabin with a pressure of 0.2 MPa for 9 hours 3 hours after MCAO. They were measured with Garcia scores 3 hours, 13 hours and 24 hours after MCAO. Apoptosis cells of ischemic penumbra tissue were investigated with TUNEL 13 hours and 24 hours after MCAO, while the level of cytochrome C and caspase-3 were measured with ELISA. Results The Garcia scores increased 13 hours and 24 hours after MCAO in both groups, but there was no significant difference between groups (t<2.07, P>0.05). The apoptosis cells were found in both groups 13 hours and 24 hours after MCAO, and less in the HBO group than in the control group (t>6.57, P<0.01). The levels of cytochrome C and caspase-3 were less in the HBO group than in the control group 24 hours after MCAO (t>2.41, P<0.05). Conclusion A single intensive HBO in very early stage may improve neurological function after cerebral ischemia in rats, which may associ-ate with the inhibition of cytochrome C and caspase-3 to reduce cell apoptosis.

OBJECTIVE:To study the pharmacokinetics effects of naloxone combination on Shenmai injection in rats in vivo. METHODS:12 rats were randomly divided into monotherapy group (Shenmai injection 9.00 ml/kg,iv) and combination group (Shenmai injection 9.00 ml/kg+naloxone 1.80 ml/kg,iv). The blood samples were collected before administration and 0.083,0.25, 0.5,0.75,1,1.5,2,3,6,12,24,48,96 and 144 h after administration. HPLC was adopted to determine the plasma concentra-tions of ginsenosides Rg1,Re and Rb1,and DAS 2.0 software was used to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters. RESULTS:Compared with monotherapy group,the plasma concentration of ginsenosides Rg1 in combination group was increased,CL was de-creased,t1/2 and MRT were prolonged,and AUC0-144 h was increased;the plasma concentration of ginsenosides Re was increased,Ke was decreased,t1/2 was prolonged,MRT was shortened,and AUC0-144 h was increased;the plasma concentration of ginsenosides Rb1 was decreased,Ke was increased,t1/2 and MRT were shortened,and AUC0-144 h was decreased,with significant differences(P<0.01 or P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Shenmai injection combined with naloxone can slow down the removing of ginsenosides Rg1 and Re in vivo,and obviously the plasma concentration of Shenmai injection is higher than monotherapy group;speed up the removing of ginsenosides Rb1,and the plasma concentration of Shenmai injection is lower than monotherapy group obviously.

Objective:To explore the involvement of endoplasmic reticulum molecular chaperone GRP78 in the impairment of inner ear consistented with the mimetic aging model.Method:Twenty-four Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups. model group was in duced by daily hypodermic injection of 10% D-galactose (800 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)) for 8 weeks and the control group was given saline accordingly. Spatial learning and memory was measured by Morris-Water-Maze. Colorimetry was used to analyze superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) extracted from inner ear tissue. Hearing threshold of rats were detected with Auditory brainstem response (ABR).In addition, expression of GRP78 in the inner ear was detected by immunohistochemistry,RT-PCR and Western blot. The control group was studied parallel.Result:The escape latency in the model group injected with D-galactose was markedly longer than that in the control group.accordingly ,the changes of SOD and MDA were more significant in the model group, the difference between two groups was significant(t-test,P<0.01). the variation of ABR in two groups was observed, There was no statistically difference of the hearing in the model group compared with the control group(P>0.05). The expression of GRP78 was significantly different between two groups ,which is increased in the inner ear tissue of model group(P<0.01).Conclusion:The impairment of inner ear tissue partly dued to the oxidative stress in the model, which was induced by D-galactose.and endoplasmic reticulum molecular chaperone was thought to contribute to the impairment mechanism of inner ear in mimetic aging model.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of two doses of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on delayed encephalopathy after carbonmonoxide poisoning (DEACMP). Methods 68 patients with DEACMP were divided into two groups, the 30 sessions of HBOT group(30-HBOT group) and the 60 sessions of HBOT group (60-HBOT group), who were given HBOT 30 and 60 times respectively. All patientswere assessed with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and fluid attenuated inversion recovery (Flair) magnetic resonance imaging ofbrain immediately before, 35 d and 70 d after HBOT. Results The MMSE score was significantly higher in 60-HBOT group than in30-HBOT group 70 d after HBOT (P<0.01). All of patients showed diffuse and confluent hyper-intensity over the bilateral periventricularwhite matter and centrum semiovale on conventional T2WI and Flair, which improved. Conclusion HBOT is effective on DEACMP, especiallywith 60 times.

In order to study the effect of 5, 6-Dichloro-1-beta-D-ribofuranosyl-benzimidazole (DRB) on the biological characteristics of human laryngeal carcinoma Hep-2 cell line in vitro, Hep-2 cells cultured in vitro were treated with different concentrations of DRB. Changes in cell proliferation, apoptotic rate and invasiveness were detected by MTT assay, flow cytometry (FCM) and matrigel in vitro invasion assay, respectively. It was found that DRB inhibited the proliferation of Hep-2 cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner. After being treated with 0, 10, 20, 40, 80 microm mol/L DRB for 24 h, the apoptotic rate in Hep-2 cells was (0.68+/-0.19)%, (1.95+/-0.12)%, (8.51+/-0.26)%, (11.26+/-0.17)% and (14.99+/-0.32)%, respectively. The matrigel in vitro invasion assay revealed that DRB began to inhibit the invasion of Hep-2 cells at the concentration of 5 microm mol/L, and with the increase of DRB concentration, the inhibitory effect was enhanced. It was suggested that DRB could influence the essential biological characteristics of Hep-2 cells, inhibit Hep-2 cells proliferation, reduce invasive ability and induce apoptosis of Hep-2 cells.
