Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2015;(6):537-539
Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and onset time between Tiao Ren An Shen (regulating Conception Vessel and soothing mind) needling method and conventional acupoint selection for peri-menopausal depression, for providing theoretical evidence for the application of Tiao Ren An Shen needling method. Method Sixty patients with peri-menopausal depression aged 45~55 years were randomized into two groups after admission to hospital. In addition to oral administration of Fluoxetine, one group was intervened by Tiao Ren An Shen needling method (treatment group, n=30), and the other group was by conventional acuppoint selection (control group, n=30). Before treatment, and at 2nd, 4th, and 6th week after treatment, Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) was investigated, Kupperman index and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score were evaluated before and after intervention. The therapeutic efficacy was estimated at the end of the 6th week. Result After intervention, the HAMD and TCM syndrome score were significantly improved in both groups (P<0.05); Kupperman score was markedly improved in the treatment group (P<0.05), while the score was not significantly changed in the control group (P>0.05). Compared to the control group, the improvements of depression degree and peri-menopausal symptoms were more significant in the treatment group (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 93.3% in the treatment group versus 70.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared to conventional acupoint selection, Tiao Ren An Shen method can produce a more efficient effect and a higher long-term efficacy, not only improving the emotional state and easing depression, but also releasing vegetative nerve functional disturbance. As it can improve the TCM symptoms, treating both causes and manifestations, promoting the quality of life of peri-menopausal patients, this method is an effective approach.

Chinese Journal of Rheumatology 2009;13(6):-
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on collagen-induced arthritis(CIA) and the possible mechanisms. MethodsMSCs from C57BL/6 mice bone marrow were isolated and expanded. Three DBA-I mice were as normal control group (Sodium Chloride injected on day 0 and 21) after primary immunization. After the bovine collagen Ⅱ induced-CIA models were established, fifteen male mice were randomly divided into 3 groups according to treatment regi-mens: CIA control group(0.2 ml Sodium Chloride injected through caudal vein on day 0 and 21), prevention group(1×10+6 cells MSC on day 0) and treatment group. (1×10+6 cells MSC on day 21 after primary immun-ization). The observed parameters included arthritis index (Al), articular pathology changes, levels of serum TNF-α, IL-1β detected hy ELISA. In addition, the percentage of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg cells(Tregs) in CD4+ T cells of spleen or lymphoid node from mice were also analyzed by flow cytometry(FCM). Results①The Al and articular pathological score of the prevention group and treatment group were lower than the CIA control group(P<0.05). ②The levels of serum TNF-α and IL-1β of normal control, prevention group and treatment group were significantly decreased compared with CIA control group(P<0.05), and positively correlated with Al or articular pathological score (P<0.05). ③The percentage of Tregs from spleen and lymph nodes was significantly increased in MSCs treated mice(P<0.05). Conclusion MSCs transplantation is effective for CIA and suppression of TNF-α, IL-1β and up-regulation of Tregs by MSCs may be the possible mechanism in CIA.

9.Expression of serum endothelial nitric oxide synthase in pigs following acute myocardial infarction: Influencing ways of extracorporeal cardiac shock wave therapy
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2010;14(9):1649-1652
BACKGROUND:Extracorporeal cardiac shock wave therapy (CSWT) can up-regulate angiogenic factors and its receptors,promote angiogenesis and collateral circulation establishment by introducing shock waves to myocardium,however,the specific mechanisms remain unclearly.OBJECTIVE:To observe the influence of CSWT on the content of serum endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in pigs following acute myocardial infarction (AMI).METHODS:Pig AMI model was established by embolizing the distal of left anterior coronary artery.Following model preparation,pigs were randomly divided into 2 groups.In the experimental group received three CSWT at days 1,3 and 5,200 hits per point,totally 12 points,with 0.09 mJ/mm~2 energy.Pigs with simple AMI were served as the control group.The serum eNOS level was detected by ELISA method before,immediate postoperative,and at days,1,3,5,and weeks 1,2,3,and 4 after operation.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The eNOS level of both groups were obvious decreased at immediate postoperative than that before operation.At day 1 after CSWT,eNOS level was increased in the experimental group,which was still decreased in the control group.It revealed that CSWT play a positive effect on ischemia rnyocardium.The eNOS level reached a peak in the experimental group after 3 times of CSWT,lasted for 2-3 weeks,and began to decrease at week 4.The difference between the experimental group and control group had significance (P<0.01).The results demonstrated that CSWT can treat AMI effectively by promoting eNOS expression.
10.Model establishment of acute myocardium infarction induced by coronary occlusion versus balloon occlusion in miniature pigs
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2009;13(50):9913-9916
BACKGROUND: Coronary occlusion and balloon occlusion are two major methods in preparing acute myocardium infarction models. The pigs were expensive and the modeis will periorm further study,therefore,it is necessary to prepave a model with advantage of short time consuming, few trauma, and high survival rate.OBJECTIVE: To establish acute myocardium infarction in miniature pigs induced by coronary occlusion and balloon occlusion,and to compare the differences.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The randomized grouping, contrast observation animal experiment was performed at the heart intervention room of The First Affiliated Hospital of Kun Ming Medical College between May 8~(th) and August 3~(rd), 2009.MATERIALS: A total of 20 Banna miniature pigs, weighing 20-30 kg, irrespective of genders, were purchased from animal department of Kunming Medical College. The animals were equally divided into embolism and occlusion groups.METHODS: In the embolism group, the balloon was implanted into distal end of anterior descending coronary via femoral artery,blocked the forward flow with 202.65 kPa pressure for 1, 2, and 5 minutes, with 60 seconds interval. The same operation was performed in the occlusion group, followed by blocked the forward flow for successive 60 minutes.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Differences of modes established by 2 methods were compared by coronary opacification, ECG,myocardium zymogram, ultrasonic cardiogram and pathology detection.RESULTS: Nine pigs were survived in the embolism group, and the remained 1 pig died of coronary artery rupture. After operation, T wave inversion could be found, without ST stage raise. At day 1 after operation, correlated lead ST stage was raised 0.1-0.2 mV. The operation duration was 11 hours. In the occlusion group, 5 pigs survived, 4 pigs died of ventricular fibrillation,and 1 died without definite cause. The operation cost 24 hours, and the correlated lead ST stage was increased 0.2-0.3 mV postoperatively. Motion abnormality in infarction place was exhibited in both groups; ventricular aneurysm was formed in 3 pigs in the embolism group, and 1 in the occlusion group. Levels of creatine kinase isoenzymes serum troponin T were obviously stepped up and presented dynamic changes. The myocardiolysis was obviously showed in the infarcted areas, but the differences were no obviously in 2 groups.CONCLUSION: Both coronary occlusion and balloon occlusion can induce models of acute myocardium infarction. The coronary occlusion method is superior to balloon occlusion with few trauma, faster postoperative recover and low mortality rates.
