【Objective】To explore the effect of acupoint catgut implantation(ACI) on hypothalamic monoamine neurotransmitters in rats treated with clozapine.【Methods】Thirty-six SD rats were randomized into ACI group,clozapine group and blank control group.Except the blank control group,the rats in other two groups received clozapine.The dosage of clozapine for the rats was 5 mg?kg-1?d-1 at the first time,increased to 30 mg?kg-1?d-1,and then reduced to 22 mg?kg-1?d-1 which maintained till the end of the experiment.After 60-day treatment with clozapine,ACI group was treated with ACI alternatively on Baihui(GV20),bilateral Xinshu(BL15) and bilateral Quchi(LI11),or on Dazhui(GV14),bilateral Pishu(BL20),bilateral Zusanli(ST36),one time every 5 days,12 times in total.The changes of body weight before and after treatment,and the hypothalamic monoamine neurotransmitters contents of dopamine(DA) and 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT) were observed in the three groups.【Results】In the clozapine group,the rats body weight markedly increased,and the contents of DA and 5-HT decreased(P

Purified GAI, one form of glucoamylase obtained from Aspergillus niger mutant T21 contained 17.6% total carbohydrate. Analyses of amino acid composition showed that GAI contained about 25% Ser and Thr, 20.3% Asx and Glx and 6% basic amino acids. The UV absorption and fluorescence spectra of GAI were determined. The maximum absorption wavelength was at 278nm and minimum at 250nm. For fluorescent analyses the excitation and maximum emission spectra were at 284nm and 342nm respectively. The CD-spectrum determined showed two negative peaks. Its dispersion of secondary structure in solution showed 10.6% ?-helix, 16.3% ?-form and 73.1% unordered.

Objective To evaluate the effects of single long stent and multiple contiguous stents for the therapy of the long coronary lesion. Methods According to the different means of stent implantation,64 cases of patients are divided into two groups:Group A for the single long stent,and Group B for the multiple contiguous stents. All of patient received coronary artery angiography in order to evaluate the rate of restenosis after 6~10 months. Results In hospital period, no acute or subacute thrombosis, no myocardial infarction and death occured. There was no difference for the restenosis rate of the stents between two groups. Conclusion The effects of both the single long stent and the multiple contiguous stents is similarity.

objective To study the changes of reticulocyte micronueleus(MN-RET)from peripherai blood and polychromatic erythrocyte mieronucleUS(MN-PCE)from bone marrow in mice following exposure to X-rays in order to provide an experimental basis for exploring possible hish-throughput radiation biodosimeter.Methods Male ICR mice were whole-body irradiated with 0,0.5,1,2,4 and 5 Gy at a dose rate of 0.488 Gy/min.MN-RET from peripheral blood wag scored with FCM and MN-PCE from bone marrow was scored with manual microscopy at 24,48 and 72 h post-irradiation.Results Both MN-RET and MN-PCE rates increaged with doses in the range of 0-5 Gy at 24,48 and 72 h after WBI.The dose-response relationship can be fit with linear equations(t=10.26-25.77,P<0.05).The correlation coeffcients between MN-RET from peripheral blood and MN-PCE from bone mallow were highly significant(r=0.986-0.996,P<0.05).Conclusions In view of its simplicity,accuracy and high throughput capacity,FCM scoring of peripheral blood MN-RET may be a candidate for radiation biodosimetry,More work should be carried out on human specimens to investigate this possibility.

Objective:In present study we observed the effect of whole body irradiation (WBI) with 75 mGy X-rays on the immune function of tumor-bearing mice.Methods:Lewis lung carcinoma cells were implanted into the right thigh muscle of C57BL/6J mice.Ten days after tumor implantation,the tumor-bearing mice were administrated with 75 mGy X-rays WBI,then the mice were sacrificed 18 h after irradiation to detect the immune parameters including the spontaneous proliferation of thymocytes,the proliferative response of splenocytes to ConA and LPS,the cytotoxic activities of specific cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTL) and natural killer cells (NK),as well as lymphokine activated killer cells (LAK) in spleen.The methods we used were 3H-TdR incorporation or release assay.Results:The immune parameters of exposed tumor-bearing mice were much higher than those of sham-irradiated tumor-bearing mice (P<0.01).Conclusion:These results suggested that low dose radiation (LDR) could enhance the immune function of tumor-bearing mice,which might be of practical significance in the prevention and therapy of cancer.

Objective To investigate the clinic characteristics and treatment methods of coronary ectasia. Methods One hundred and fifty-four cases in Anzhen hospital during the last 10 years, whom with coronary aneurysm diagnosed by coronary artery angiogram and summarized the characteristics of symptom, sign, diagnosis and treatment. Results All patients were proved with coronary angiography. There were 112(72.7%)patients presenting angina, but with no specific manifestation in electrocardiogram, X-ray and echocardiogram.Thrombolysis in emergency were taken to 3 cases with acute myocardial infarction patients. One hundred and fifty-four cases were treated with aspirin or heparinizeation, and with nitroglycerin, Calcium channel blocker to dilate vessel. The followed up of 154 cases about 1-20 years, six cases were suffered with acute myocardial infarction. One of the 6 cases was reinfarction and one case was sudden death. Conclusions Angina is the main clinical manifestation and coronary angiography is the accurate diagnostic method. Long-term application with anticoagulant agent and vasodilator should be done to prevent coronary spasm and myocardial infarction. If acute myocardial infarction occurs, prompt thrombolysis should be used, if it is ineffective, coronary artery bypass grafting should be carried out.

Objective To study the role of maintaining ventilator tubing at low position in prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).Methods From January 2010 through December 2011,110 cases with invasive mechanical ventilation in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) were randomly divided into observation group (n =55) and control group (n =55).The patients of control group were given conventional prevention method including the head elevated 30°-45°.The patients of observation group were given prevention method of keeping ventilator tubing at low position in addition to conventional prevention method so as to avoid the condensate in ventilator tubing into the airway.After mechanical ventilation support for 28 days,the incidence of VAP,duration of mechanical ventilation,length of ICU stay,incidence of condensate flowing back,clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS) and mortality were respectively recorded.At the same time,risk of mistakenly extubation by nurses was recorded.Results The comparison between two groups showed the incidence of VAP (16.36% vs.34.55%),duration of mechanical ventilation (5.86 ± 2.66) d vs.(11.24 ± 3.80) d,length of stay in the ICU (13.60 ± 4.83) d vs.(19.58 ±5.27) d,incidence of condensate backflow (3.64% vs.49.09%),presenting significant differences between two groups (P < 0.05).The CPIS of observation group was lower than that of the control group (P <0.05),and the mortality in observation group (21.82%) was lower than that in the control group (27.27%),but the difference was not significant (P >0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in risk of mistakenly extubation between two groups (P > 0.05).Conclusion Maintaining the ventilator tubing at low position can reduce the incidence of VAP,improve the prognosis,and the risk of mistakenly extubation did not increase compared with the conventional methods
