Objective To observe the curative effect of eliminating epileptic decoction combined with acu-puncture treatment of epilepsy in children .Methods In our hospital in 2013 July to 2014 year in March 70 cases of epileptic children with occult , were randomly divided into two groups .Chinese medicine group of 35 cases were trea-ted with eliminating epileptic decoction combined with acupuncture treatment ;According to the epilepsy type , western medicine group of 35 cases were given appropriate antiepileptic drug treatment .The therapeutic effect was evaluated after 2 months.Results The total effective rate was 88.57%in traditional Chinese medicine group , and in western medicine group, the total effective rate was 74.29%(p<0.05).In group of Chinese medicine and Western medi-cine treatment, the normal rates of EEG were 20% and 17.14% (p>0.05).In the Chinese medicine group after treatment, the normal rate of 51.43%, significantly higher than the control group (p<0.05).The Chinese medicine group after treatment WISC -R score rose slightly .The differences between the two groups were not significant ( p>0.05).The western medicine group arithmetic , understanding, similar score slightly lower but the difference was not significant (p>0.05);the back number rating decreased greatly , compared with those before treatment (p<0.05). Conclusion The elimination of epileptic decoction combined with acupuncture is an effective method for treatment of children with epilepsy , and had no significant effect on intelligence .The curative effect is better than western medi-cine treatment .

Objective To explore the effect of tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-?) on brain damage following experimental intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH) in rats.Methods We induced intracerebral hemorrhage models of rats with injecting autologous blood into the left caudate.The levels of TNF-? and water contents in perihematoma at different stages were examined by radioimmunoassay and wet-dry weight measurement,and neurobehavioral outcomes were assessed in the meanwhile.Results The levels of TNF-? at 12~96 h in ICH group were higher than those in control group(all(P

OBJECTIVE:To establish the quality standard of Mageng phlegm - eliminating oral liquid.METHODS:Herba Ephedrae,Platycodon grandiflorum and Ophiopogon japonicus in Mageng phlegm - eliminating oral liquid were identified qualitatively by TLC,and the content of baicalin was determined by HPLC.RESULTS:Herba Ephedrae,Platycodon grandiflorum and Ophiopogon japonicus had been successfully detected by TLC.The linear range of baicalin was 0.102~1.734?g (r = 0.9996) with an average recovery of 97.19%(RSD = 1.20%,n = 6).CONCLUSION:The established quality standard is applicable for the quality control of Mageng phlegm -eliminating oral liquid.

The effect of insulin treatment on fatty liver was investigated in diabetic mice fed with high-fat diet.C57 BL/6J mice were fed with high fat diet for 12 weeks,and then treated with Glargine for 4 weeks.The results showed that during intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test,blood glucose,serum total cholesterol and triglyceride(TG) were significantly lower in insulin-treated high fat group than those in untreated ones(P<0.05).The hepatic histology showed minimal or barely visible fat in hepmic cells along with TG content in liver decreasing by 20.71%. The results suggest that insulin ameliorates hepatic intracellular lipid accumulation induced by high fat diet.

Objective To investigate the effect of early insulin therapy on NF-KB pathway and inflammatory cytokine responses in fiver of diabetic rat.Methods NF-KB p65 DNA binding was assayed with ELISA-based assay kit,cytokine gene expressions were quantified with real-time PCR and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase(PEPCK),NF-KB and inhibitor KB(IKBα)protein levels wlere assayed with Westem blot.Results Compared with control,hepatic PEPCK protein level in the untreated diabetic rat increased by 40%.Early insulin and gliclazide treatment normalized PEPCK protein level.The abundance of IKBα protein was significantly decreased and nuclear NF-KB p65 DNA binding activity was incteased in untreated diabetic rats.IKBot protein content increased and NF-KB p65 DNA binding decreased during early intervention treatment.mRNAs encoding IL-1β and TNFα were increased,which were reduced to normal levels after insulin and gliclazide treatment.Conclusions It is suggested that early insulin treatment inhibits NF-KB activity and inflammatory cytokine responses in fiver that are involved in the aniefioration of insulin resistance in diabetic rats.Such results misht be due to indirect antiinflammatory effects of insulin thus relieving glucotoxicity and lipotoxicity in pefipherM tissues.

Objectives To investigate the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of dyslipidemia as well as its treatment and influence on accompanying diseases in impaired glucose status among inpatients. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted among the inpatients registered in ten university hospitals of Guangdong, China during the week before the Diabetes Day in 2004. The fasting blood glucose (FBG), lipid profiles, BMI, waist to hip ratio (WHR) and concomitant disorders of the first screen during the hospitalization period were recorded. Those who had FBG level from 5.6 to 6. 9 mmol/L and not been previously diagnosed diabetes (PDM) underwent oral glucose tolerance test (OGTF). Results Of the 8753 inpatients investigated, 1067 eases had complete medical records(CMR case) including PDM cases and previously non-diagnosed diabetes ones with FBG ≥ 5. 6 mmol/L. Of the previously non-diagnosed diabetes cases with FBG levels from 5.6 to 6.9 mmmol/L, 65.8% accepted OGTT. Of the CMR cases, 41.9% had PDM, 21.7% was newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus (NDM), 29. 1% had impaired glucose regulation (IGR) and only 7.3% had normal glucose tolerance (NGT). The TG levels in NDM and PDM group were higher than those in IGR and NGT group (P < 0.05, respectively). The HDL-C levels in IGR, NDM and PDM group were lower than those in NGT group (P < 0.05, respectively). Sixty-nine point six percent of the diabetes mellitus (DM) inpatients was accompanied with dyslipidemia and the rate was higher than those in NGT (56.4%) and IGR inpatients (52.5%, P <0.05, respectively). Only 22. 8% of the PDM inpatients underwent treatment of dyslipidaemia and just 3.4% achieved the target suggested by the guideline of ATP-Ⅲ. BMI was higher and waistline longer in the PDM and NDM inpatients than those in the NGT cases (P <0.05, respectively). Seventy-two point eight percent of the PDM inpatients was complicated with more than one type of vascular diseases. Nine point seven percent and 0. 2% of the NDM inpatients were tormented by diabetic nephropathy and diabetic retinopathy respectively. Conclusions More inpatients with accompany DM or IGR had concomitant dyslipidemia than those with NGT, which included hypertriglyccridemia, hypo-high-density lipoproteinemia and metabolic syndrome. Concomitant vascular diseases were more frequently found in PDM inpatients than in the others. Some of the NDM and IGT inpatients were complicated with microvascular diseases.
