Objective To observe the effects of early rehabilitation training on endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs),stromal cell-derived factor alpha 1 (SDF-lα) and motor function recovery in hemiplegic patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods Fifty hemiplegic patients after a first acute cerebral infarction were randomly divided into a control group (n =25) and an experimental group (n =25).Both groups of patients were given routine drug therapy,while the experimental group also received early rehabilitation (within 48 hours of onset).EPCs and SDF-1α levels in peripheral blood were measured before and after one week of treatment,and Fugl-Meyer assessments and modified Barthel index scoring were conducted at admission and after three months of treatment.Results There was no difference between the 2 groups before the treatment.After a week of treatment,however,the EPC and SDF-1α values of both groups had increased,with those of the experimental group increasing significantly more than in the control group.Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that the increase in EPCs was positively correlated with the SDF-1α increment in the first week.After 3 months of treatment,the average FMA and MBI results of the experimental group were significantly better than those of the control group.Conclusion Early rehabilitation training can help to further improve the recovery of motor function for hemiplegic patients after acute cerebral infarction.This may be related to its effect in upregulating the expression of SDF-1α,thus contributing to the mobilization of EPCs in the bone marrow.

Objective To study chemical ingredients and angiogenesis effects for different compatibility proportions ofDanggui Buxue Decoction.Methods For chemical components, HPLC was performed to study the ingredients (Ferulic Acid, Calycosin-7-glusosido, Calycosin, Formononetin) inDanggui Buxue Decoction. For angiogenesis effects, transgenosis zebrafish model was incubated with different proportions ofDanggui Buxue Decoction.Results With the raise of Astragali Radix content, the synthetic scores of four ingredients in different compatibility proportions increased. When the Astragali Radix content to Angelicae Sinensis Radix content was 8 to 2 and 5 to 1, the scores were the highest. For zebrafish vascular injury model, vessel recoveries in top three were 5:1, 6:1 and 2:1 (Astragali Radix: Angelicae Sinensis Radix).Conclusion From comprehensive analysis of chemical composition and angiogenesis, the best compatibility ratio of Astragali Radix to Angelicae Sinensis Radix is 5:1.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the quality of TCM decoction pieces in our hospital preliminarily and explore the solu-tions for the problem of the quality of decoction pieces purchased by the hospital. METHODS:In Jun. 2012,a system was estab-lished by our hospital,where the quality inspector was designated to daily inspect new batches of TCM decoction pieces such as ap-pearance provided by suppliers. The batches of TCM decoction piece samples inspected and those of unqualified products from Jun. 2012 to May 2014 were calculated. The reasons of unqualified products were analyzed and corresponding solutions were made. RE-SULTS&CONCLUSIONS:Over two years,a total of 94 671 batches of TCM decoction piece samples were inspected by our hos-pital,among which 737 were unqualified products predominantly because of mildew,damage by worms,greasing,containing for-eign substances and others. The solutions to such problems included interviewing the suppliers,returning or discontinuing the use of crude drugs and special focus on particular seasons and on the demand for key varieties. The unqualified products rate in the quality inspection reduced from 0.56%in Jun. 2012 to 0.34%in May 2014. Therefore,setting the post of drug quality inspector in the hos-pital can ensure the quality of TCM decoction piece purchased,however,it need to improve the inspection and acceptance of quali-ty inspection by sampling,scoring and using the new technology.

OBJECTIVETo observe the long-term therapeutic efficacy of standardized specific subcutaneous immunotherapy on persistent allergic rhinitis in children. METHODSFrom Jan. 2007 to Aug. 2009, 236 children with persistent allergic rhinitis were divided into two groups, which 120 cases underwent standardized house dust mite allergen subcutaneous specific immunotherapy (SCIT), another 116 cases accepted a serious of steroids nasal spray and oral antihistamine (control group). The efficacy of the patients was evaluated by using the visual analog scale (VAS) and Rhino conjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire (RQLQ).RESULTSAfter patients underwent 3-years SCIT, the VAS score was 2.3±0.7, 2.4±0.6, 1.6±0.4, 1.9±0.5, and the RQLQ score was 7.7±1.6, 7.4±1.1, 4.3±0.7, 4.1±0.9, respectively, at the follow-up period of 3 month, 1 year, 3 years and 5 years, and both scores were significantly lower than the score of pre-treatment (P<0.001). Compared the single dust mite allergen positive patients with multiple allergens positive patients, both VAS and RQLQ scores were not significantly changed at each follow-up period after SCIT (P>0.05). No serious adverse events occurred in all treatments.CONCLUSIONThe standardized specific immunotherapy has the long-term efficacy for dust mite positive children with persistent allergic rhinitis. It demonstrated a similar effect in both single dust mite positive patients and multiple allergens positive patients.

Using Dachengqi Tang (DCQT) as a model, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fingerprints were applied to optimize machine extracting process with the Box–Behnken experimental design. HPLC fingerprints were carried out to investigate the chemical ingredients of DCQT; synthetic weighing method based on analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and criteria importance through intercriteria correlation (CRITIC) was performed to calculate synthetic scores of fingerprints; using the mark ingredients contents and synthetic scores as indicators, the Box–Behnken design was carried out to optimize the process parameters of machine decocting process under high pressure for DCQT. Results of optimal process showed that the herb materials were soaked for 45 min and extracted with 9 folds volume of water in the decocting machine under the temperature of 140 1C till the pressure arrived at 0.25 MPa;then hot decoction was excreted to soak Dahuang and Mangxiao for 5 min. Finally, obtained solutions were mixed, filtrated and packed. It concluded that HPLC fingerprints combined with the Box–Behnken experimental design could be used to optimize extracting process of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

Objective To explore the effect of electroacupuncture on CD 34 +VEGFR2 +endothelial progenitor cell (EPC)-derived vessels and stromal cell-derived factor-1α(SDF-1α)/CXCR4, and study its mechanism of promoting an-giogenesis in hippocampus after focal cerebral ischemia /reperfusion .Methods A total of 180 healthy male adult Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into sham operation (sham) group, model (I/R) group, electroacupuncture (I/RE) group, I/RE plus AMD3100 (A specific antagonist of CXCR4) group (I/REA) and AMD3100 (I/RA) group. The rats received filament occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery for 2 hours followed by reperfusion .Electroacupunc-ture was applied to “Baihui” (GV20)/“Siguan” (Hegu LI 4/Taichong LR 3) acupoints for 30 min, once a day.The mR-NA expression of SDF-1αand CXCR4 were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR) .Double immunofluorescence was used to stain CD 34 +VEGFR2 +EPC-derived vessels.Results Compared with the sham group, the mRNA expressions of SDF-1αand CXCR4 were significantly upregulated in I/R and I/RE group ( P<0.05 ) , but that in I/RE group was more significantly increased than I/R group(P<0.05).In addition, the mRNA expression of SDF-1αand CXCR4 were highly increased on day 1 in the I/REA group than that of I/RE group, but decreased than that of I/RE group on day 7 after reperfusion (P<0.01).CD34 +VEGFR2 +EPCs-derived vessels were obviously increased on 3d and 7d in the I/RE group compared with that of the I/R group, and significantly decreased on 7d in the I/REA group compared with that of the I/RE group ( P<0.01) .Conclusions Electroacupuncture can effectively promote an-giogenesis through upregulating the expression of SDF-1αand CXCR4 in rat ischemic hippocampus after focal cerebral is-chemia/reperfusion.
