Objective:To observe the effect of abdominal electroacupuncture(EA)on intestinal function in patients with constipation after stroke. Methods:A total of 100 patients with post-stroke constipation were divided into an observation group and a control group by the random number table method,with 50 cases in each group.The control group was treated with oral lactulose,10 mL each time,3 times a day,for 2 consecutive weeks.The observation group was treated with additional abdominal EA at Tianshu(ST25),Fushe(SP13),and Daheng(SP15)on the basis of oral lactulose,30 min for needle retention each time,once a day,for 2 consecutive weeks.The total effective rate after treatment,constipation symptom score,the score of patient assessment of constipation quality of life scale(PAC-QOL),serum motilin(MTL)level,and the score of mini-mental state examination(MMSE)were compared between the two groups. Results:After 2 weeks of treatment,the total effective rate was 93.5%in the observation group and 76.1%in the control group,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).The constipation symptom score,PAC-QOL score,MMSE score,and MTL level changed significantly after treatment in both groups(P<0.05).After treatment,the constipation symptom score and PAC-QOL score in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,while the MMSE score and MLT level were higher than those in the control group,and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion:On the basis of oral lactulose,EA at abdominal points can significantly improve the intestinal and cognitive function of stroke patients simultaneously.

Objective To investigate the role of immunoglobulin superfamily containing leucine-rich repeat protein(ISLR)in the malignant progression of osteosarcoma cells and its potential regulatory mechanism.Methods ISLR mRNA levels in osteosarcoma tissues and cells were detected by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR).U2OS cells were transfected with ISLR short hairpin RNA(shRNA)sequence or negative-control shRNA(NC shRNA)sequence,thus the cells were treated with phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase(PI3K)activator 740 Y-P.The cell viability,invasion ability and apoptosis rate were detected by CCK-8 assay,Transwell assay and flow cytometry,respectively.Western blot was used to detect the expressions of ISLR protein,epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)-related proteins[Epitheia-cadherin(E-cadherin),Nerve cadherin(N-cadherin),Vimentin,Snail],PI3K/protein kinase B(AKT)pathline-related proteins,apoptotic proteins[Cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteinase-3(Caspase-3),B cell lymphoma/leukemia-2(Bcl-2),Bcl-2 associated X protein(Bax)]and proliferation marker Ki67 protein.Lentivirus was used to transfect U2OS cells,and the cells were injected into nude mice to construct a xenograft tumor model,and tumor growth was monitored.Results ISLR mRNA level in osteosarcoma tissue(5.14±1.63)was up-regulated compared with para-cancerous tissue(1.01±0.02),and the difference was significant(t=-14.332,P<0.001).Compared with normal osteoblasts hFOB1.19(1.01±0.01),osteosarcoma cells MG63(3.05±0.57),U2OS(4.55±0.79),HOS(2.46±0.41),the relative expression of ISLR mRNA in Saos-2(2.62±0.44)and 143B(3.62±0.51)were increased,and differences were significant(t=4.883,8.473,3.471,3.854,6.247,all P<0.05).Silencing ISLR inhibited the proliferation of U2OS cells(t=6.593,6.835)and invasion(t=8.621,8.448),but promoted cell apoptosis(t=25.505,25.574),and the differences were significant(all P<0.05).Silencing ISLR promoted Caspase-3 activity in U2OS cells(t=13.489,13.366)and Bax protein(t=8.628,8.524),but inhibited Bcl-2 protein expression(t=10.948,10.775),with significant differences(all P<0.05).Silencing ISLR promoted EMT-related protein E-cadherin(t=15.168,15.087),inhibited N-cadherin(t=10.220,10.058),Vimentin(t=8.303,8.164)and Snail(t=9.211,9.384),but reduced the phosphorylation levels of PI3K and AKT(t=17.441,14.452),with significant differences(all P<0.05).Additionally,740 Y-P treatment reversed the effect of silencing ISLR on U2OS cells.Experimental results in vivo showed that knockdown of ISLR significantly inhibited tumor growth.Conclusion ISLR could promote EMT,proliferation and invasion,but inhibit apoptosis of osteosarcoma cells by activating the PI3K/AKT pathway,there by promoting osteosarcoma progression.
