ObjectiveTo observe the efficacy of pricking cupping in treating herpes zoster at acute stage.MethodSixty patients with herpes zoster at acute stage were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 in each group. The treatment group was intervened by pricking cupping, while the control group was by oral administration of Western medicine. The total effective rate and the improvement of symptoms and pain at different stages were observed afterintervention.ResultThe total effective rate was 90.0% in the treatment group versus 86.7% in the control group, and the difference was statistically insignificant (P>0.05); after the first treatment course, the decreases of symptom score and pain indexin the treatment group were significantly superior to that in the control group (P<0.05); after the second treatment course, there were no significant differences in comparing the decreases of symptom score and pain index between the two groups (P>0.05).ConclusionPricking cupping is an effective approach in treating herpes zoster of the acute stage, as it can produce a comparatively higher total effective rate and also significantly improve the symptoms and pain.

Objective To study the effect of Tibetan MedicineManu-Xitanggranules on the expression of prostaglandin E2 and TNF-a on adjuvant arthritis (AA) rats.Methods A total of 60 rats were randomly divided into the control group, the model group, the Aspirin group, the low-, medium- and high- dose Manu-Xitang granules groups (each group with 10). Complete Freund's adjuvant method was used for the adjuvant arthritis model except the control group. All the groups started treatment at 8th day, and the treatment last 20 days. The low-, middle- high-dosage groups were treated with 2.0, 1.0, 0.5g/(kg body weight) Manu-Xitang granules, while the the Aspirin group with ASP (0.27 g/kg), control and medol groups with the equal Volume saline. The body weight, the swelling of primary side of arthritis index were observed. The levels of PGE2 and TNF-α were measured by ELISA.Results At 6th, 12th, 18th day, compared with the model group, the body weights in Aspirin group, the low-, middle-, high-dosage groups significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01); at the 6th day, the foot swelling (0.40% ± 0.18%, 0.50% ± 0.25%, 0.55% ± 0.35%vs. 0.85% ± 0.15%) in the Aspirin group, middle-, and high-dosage groups significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). And the PGE2 (0.66 ± 0.31vs. 0.39 ± 0.11) and TNF-a (0.72 ± 0.24vs. 0.50 ± 0.15) in the high- dose group were significantly lower than the model group (P<0.05).Conclusions The Tibetan medicineManu-Xitanggranules could treat AA through the changes of PGE2 and TNF-a.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of clozapine on blood glucose and insulin levels in schizophrenic patients. METHODS:This is a self-controlled study in which the levels of blood glucose and insulin in clozapine group(n=63) were compared before and after treatment,and which were compared with the levels in the control group(n=64).Insular cellular antibody(ICA) and insulin autoantibody(IAA) were detected in patients with high level of blood glucose.RESULTS:After treatment for 8 weeks,the blood glucose level was increased in clozapine group as compared with the same group before treatment and the control group,showing significant differences(P

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the distribution and drugs resistance of pathogenic bacteria causing nosocomial infection over 2 years in our hospital.METHODS:A total of 4 653 strains of pathogens were analyzed statistically by retrospective study.RESULTS:Among 4 653 strains of pathogens,709 were fungi(15.2%),1 078 were Gram-positive cocci(23.2%)and 2 866 were Gram-negative bacilli(61.6%).Over the 2 years,the detection rates of extended spectrum ?-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp.were 36.5% and 27.9%,respectively.The average resistance rate of Gram-positive cocci to penicillin,oxacillin,cefazolin,erythromycin,Co-trimoxazole and ciprofloxacin over the 2 years were 84.5%.The average resistance rate of Gram-negative bacilli to ampicillin was 96.0% and to cefotaxime,cefepime,gentamycin,Co-trimoxazole,ciprofloxacin and aztreonam were 52.7% in 2 years.CONCLUSION:Over the 2 years,Gram-negative bacilliin strains causing hospital nosocomial infections increased,Gram-positive cocci strains remain stable,but fungous infection showed a decline tendency.In view of the increasing drug resistance,rational use of antimicrobial agents should be stressed in the clinic.

Aim To observe the expression of MRTF-A in rat glomerular mesangial cells(GMCs) induced by advanced glycation end products(AGEs) and its effect on ICAM-1 and FN;to explore whether MRTF-A is involved in the process of diabetic nephropathy by affecting NF-κB pathway.Methods Under the condition of AGEs, CCG-1423 and anti-MRTF-A small interfering RNA were used to knock down MRTF-A and MRTF-A plasmid was used to activatt MRTF-A, The expression level of MRTF-A, ICAM-1, FN and p65 in nucleus were detected by Western blot.Results The protein expressions of MRTF-A was increased in AGEs-induced GMCs.The expressions of FN and ICAM-1 and p65 in nucleus were downregulated by knocking down MRTF-A.However, the expressions of FN, ICAM-1 and p65 in nucleus were upregulated by overexpressing MRTF-A.Conclusions AGEs can upregulate the expression of MRTF-A in GMCs, and MRTF-A mediates the protein expressions of FN and ICAM-1 by affecting NF-κB signaling pathway in AGEs-induced GMCs.
