Objective To study the protective effect and molecular mechanism of trypsin inhibitor on reperfusion injury after cerebral ischemia. Methods The model of ischemia for 1h and repufusion for 24h of rat cerebrum was set by ligating MCAO described by zea-longa. 24 male rats were divided randomly into the sham operation group, the control group and trypsin inhibitor group. The presence of neurological function deficit was measured by Zea-Longa method, and the immunohistochemical staining and TUNEL were used to detect p53 protein expression and cell apoptosis in the brain tissues respectively. Results The score of neurological function deficit was zero in the sham operation group, 2 8?1 0 in the control group and 1 3?0 7 in trypsin inhibitor group. There were 12 3?2 5 p53 immunostaining positive cells in the control group and 5 5?1 3 in trypsin inhibitor group. The number of apoptotic cells was zero in the sham operation group, 7 6?1 0 in the control group, and 3 5?0 9 in trypsin inhibitor group. There was a significant difference in all above observing indices between the control group and trypsin inhibitor group(P

Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics of patients with connective tissue diseases (CTD) and autonomic neuropathy. Methods The medical records of inpatients with CTD and autonomic neuropathy from 2005 to 2015 were retrospectively analyzed including clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, treatment and outcome. Categorical data were expressed in percentages. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to examine normal distribution. Continuous data of normal distribution were expressed as x ±s deviation, while data without a normal distribution were described as median and interquartile range (P25, P75). Results Among the nine patients included in this study, all were female, and the median age was 42 years (32~50 years old). Four patients (4/9) were systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), three patients (3/9) were primary Sj?gren's syndrome (pSS), two patients (2/9) were rheumatic arthritis (RA), and four patients were secondary Sj?gren's syndrome (SS) (two with SLE and two with RA). Five patients (5/9) had autonomic nervous dysfunction before they were diagnosed of CTD, while four patients (4/9) developed autonomic nervous dysfunction after diagnosis of CTD. The most common symptom of autonomic nervous dysfunction was postural hypotension (9 patients, 9/9), followed by hypohidrosis (4 patients, 4/9), urinary retention (2 patients, 2/9), gastrointestinal dysmotility (2 patients, 2/9) and tonic pupil (1 patient, 11%). After treatment of CTD, autonomic symptoms of three patients improved, while the others didn't. Four of the remaining 6 patients improved after receiving other assistant treatments including vasoconstrictor, pyri-dostigmine bromide, and plasma exchange. Conclusion Patients with CTD could present with autonomic neuropathy, which is mainly characterized with postural hypotension. If patients had related symptoms, clinicians should pay more attention to whether CTD exists. If treatment for CTD couldn't improve patients' condition, other assistant treatment might be considered.

Objective To investigate the appropriate screening method for thyroid diseases during early pregnancy.Methods We collected information of 4 044 pregnant women who attended to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Peking University First Hospital from September 1,2013 to September 30,2014 for antenatal care and underwent one step screening for thyroid diseases in first trimester,which meant blood test for thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH),free thyroxine(FT4) and thyroid peroxidase antibody(TPOAb) at the same time.Simulation analysis was performed on these 4 044 women with twostep screening (TSH first and then FT4 and TPOAb if TSH was abnormal).The incidence,missed diagnosis rate,costs of screening,and outcomes of the missed diagnosed cases of women with thyroid diseases were compared between one-step and two-step screening based on the cutoff value determined by American Thyroid Association (ATA) or our hospital (0.23-4.08 mU/L).The positivel rate of TPOAb was compared among the three groups classified according to TSH value (≥ 0.1-< 2.5 mU/L,≥ 2.5-< 4.08 mU/L and ≥ 4.08 mU/L).T-test,Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test were applied for statistical analysis.Results When the cutoff value of TSH was set at ≥ 0.1-< 2.5 mU/L (ATA recommendation),7.9% (320/4 044) of the women required medical treatment.It was significantly higher than 3.2% (129/4 044),which was obtained when the normal reference value of TSH was set based on data from our hospital.The positive rates of TPOAb were 7.2%(214/2 976),13.9%(103/777) and 28.6%(55/192) for TSH ≥ 0.1-< 2.5,≥ 2.5-< 4.08 mU/L and ≥ 4.08 mU/L group,respectively.When we set the OR value for TOPAb as one in the TSH ≥ 0.1-< 2.5 mU/L group,the OR(95%C1)s of the other two groups were 1.972(1.537-2.532) and 5.181(3.679-7.297).If two-step screening protocol and ATA recommendations were applied,0.7% (27/4 044) of women who needed treatment would be missed.However,312 480 yuan (RMB) would be saved compared with one-step screening (77.27 yuan per person).When the hospitalized reference value was applied,1.1%(45/4 044) of women would not be treated and 384 720 yuan would be saved (95.13 yuan per person) compared to one-step screening.For those missed diagnosed cases,no more adverse pregnant outcomes (all P>0.05),including fetal distress,gestational diabetes mellitus,preterm birth,fetal growth restriction,oligohydroamnios,polyhydroanmios,fetal death,gestational hypertension with pre-eclampsia,placental abruptio and neonatal asphyxia were reported although no standard treatment had been provided,no matter ATA recommendation or unique reference in our hospital was adopted.Conclusions We recommend the two-step method for thyroid function screening during early pregnancy.For the purpose of cost-saving,reduction of missed diagnosis rate and avoidance of overtreatment,the management protocol should be individualized for those women with TSH value between 2.5 mU/L and the normal reference value of our hospital during pregnancy.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of warm needling moxibustion plus flash cupping for remission-stage peripheral facial paralysis (FP) due to wind-cold.
Methods:Fifty eligible patients were randomized into a warm needling moxibustion group and an acupuncture-cupping group, 25 cases in each group. The warm needling moxibustion group was intervened by acupuncture at Fengchi (GB 20), Yangbai (GB 14) towards Yuyao (EX-HN 4), Xiaguan (ST 7), Dicang (ST 4) towards Jiache (ST 6), Quanliao (SI 18), and Hegu (LI 4), plus warm needling moxibustion at Quanliao (SI 18); the acupuncture-cupping group received flash cupping on the affected side in addition to the intervention given to the warm needling moxibustion group. The two groups were both treated once a day, 10 times as a treatment course, for 3 courses in total. The House-Brackmann (H-B) facial nerve grading system was observed before and after the intervention to evaluate the facial nerve function in the two groups, and the therapeutic efficacies were also compared between the two groups.
Results:The two treatment protocols both can promote the recovery of facial nerve function. The total effective rate was 92.0% in the acupuncture-cupping group versus 72.0% in the warm needling moxibustion group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).
Conclusion:Warm needling moxibustion plus flash cupping can produce a more significant efficacy than dry warm needling moxibustion in treating remission-stage peripheral FP due to wind-cold.
