The therapeutic effect and mechanism of moxibustion in the treatment of Herpes Zoster were studied. It was found that the level of T lymphocyte subsets of the patients with Herpes Zoster was within the normal range before treatment, but slightly lower than in the health group. Th cells and NK cells were significantly decreased in the patients with Herpes Zoster as compared with those in the health group (P<0. 05),suggesting the cellular immunity of the patients with Herpes Zoster was decreased. After treatment with moxibustion, the level of all the T lymphocyte subsets was increased, close to the normal. Among them the levels of Th cells and NK cells were significantly different from those before the treatment (P<0. 05). The disappearance of exanthema and relief of neuralgia in the patients was also quicker than in the controls (P<0. 01). It was indicated that moxibustion had a good effect in the treatment of Herpes Zoster, which was contributed to the enhancement of the body antiviral ability by the improvement of immunity, especially the cellular immunity.

Objective To investigate the altered expression of TLR4 in alveolar macrophages of diabetic rats after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation and the effect of these changes on defending the infection. Methods Thirty-two male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups, group A: the control group; group B: the diabetic group; group C: the LPS stimulated group; and group D: the diabetic group with LPS stimulation. TLR4 in alveolar macrophages were measured by immunocytochemistry, RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. Results The expressions of TLR4 in group B and group C were higher than that in group A (P < 0. 001). The expression of TLR4 in group D was obviously higher than that of group B and group C (P < 0.001). Conclusion The expression of TLR4 of diabetic rats was higher than that of normal rats and became more higher after LPS stimulation, which is indicated that diabetic bodies were in the proinflammatory state, the mechanism remains to be explored in detail.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine to treat the hypothyreosis disease, and dosage reduction of thyroid hormone and improvement of thyroid function. Method The patient of hypothyreosis were divided into two groups, 32 cases in treatment group and 30 cases in control group. Both groups were treated with thyroid hormone. The treatment group reduced the dosage of thyroid hormone to high limit in the prerequisite of ensuring the curative effect, and was given the decoction of warming Yang and benefiting Qi, removing stasis and dampness. Then compare the improvement of main clinical symptoms of the two groups, as well as their function of thyroid and side effects of hormone. Result There was no significant difference in total effective rate between two groups, while there was notable diffenrence in excellent effective rate. Compare with the control group, the symptoms of the treatment group were improved obviously and rapidly, the falling extent of the increasing thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) was large and quick, so as the enhancing extent of the decreasing T3 and T4, the sid effect of hormone was eradicated. Conclusions To treat the hypothyreosis disease, combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine can improve the symptom quickly, promote the recovery of thyroid function, and get the satisfactory curative effect, even if reduce the dosage of hormone.
