Objective To observe the clinical effect of Zhongfeng-Tengtong decoction combined with tramadol in the treatment of central post-stroke pain (CPSP). Methods A total of 121 patients with stroke were recruited in our hospital. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups by the ramdom number table method, 61 patients in the treatment group and 60 in the control group. All patients received conventional treatment of stroke secondary prevention, and the control group received oral tramadol hydrochloride sustained release tablets, while the treatment group received Zhongfeng-Tengtong decoction based on the intervention of control group. Both groups were treated for 14 days. The outcomes included Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QOL), and the changes of hemorheology indexes of the 2 groups before and after treatment. Results After treatment, the NRS scores of treatment group were significantly lower than the control group (2.5 ± 0.4 vs. 4.6 ± 0.7;t=20.303, P<0.01). and FMA and SS-QOL scores of treatment group were significantly higher than the control group (FMA 57.1 ± 18.1 vs. 44.2 ± 12.5;t=4.702, P<0.01), (SS-QOL 193.4 ± 25.6 vs. 165.4 ± 22.8;t=6.536, P<0.01). The whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, fibrinogen and thrombosis coefficient of treatment group were significantely lower than the control group (whole blood viscosity 4.22 ± 0.13 mPa?s vs. 4.56 ± 0.41 mPa?s, t=14.452, P<0.01;plasma viscosity 1.72 ± 0.31 mPa?s vs. 2.33 ± 0.23 mPa?s, t=14.258, P<0.01; fibrinogen 3.72 ± 0.49 g/L vs. 4.98 ± 0.41 g/L, t=17.783, P<0.01; thrombosis coefficient 0.76 ± 0.30 vs. 1.11 ± 0.20, t=8.178, P<0.01). Conclusions Zhongfeng-Tengtong decoction combined with tramadol could alleviate the pain symptom in patients with CPSP, improve the movement function of limbs and improve the quality of life.

Objective To analyze the value of serum calcitonin level to determine the illness severity of the elderly patients with severe pneumonia within six hours after admission and to dynamically observe the predictive value of serum PCT level change rate in different time points on the prognosis of the patients.Methods A total of one hundred and twenty olderly patients with severe pneumonia were enrolled.Within six hours after admission,the serum PCT level was detected by enzyme linked fluorescence analysis.Acute physiology and chronic health score (APACHEⅡ)were used to assess the severity of the disease.The correlation between serum PCT and APACHEⅡ score was analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient.The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve)showed the value of serum PCT level for the prognosis.Serum PCT levels were respectively monitored on the 1st,2nd,3rd and 5th day. Based on the prognosis outcome on twenty -first day after admission,the patients were divided into survival group and death group.The changes of serum PCT level in two groups were compared and the rate of change of serum PCT was also compared and the value of the clinical mortality of twenty -first day was assessed.Results Within six hours after admission,the level of serum PCT was positively correlated with APACHE Ⅱ score (r =0.768,P <0.05).The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve)showed that the level of serum PCT was low for the predictive value on the prognosis of the patients,and the area under the curve was 0.502(t =0.915,P =0.153).All patients, there were ninty -four cases in the survival group and twenty -six cases of death group.Dynamic observation of serum PCT levels in the survival group showed a trend of gradual decline with time prolong,the level of PCT change rate was more than or equal to 50 percent within 72 hours.The level of serum PCT change rate in death group showed a gradual upward or downward trend and the change rate of PCT in seventy -two hours was less than 50%.The ROC curve showed that the rate of change of serum PCT level in seventy -two hours was better in predicting the mortality of patients on the twenty -first day,and the area under the ROC curve was 0.892(t =3.895,P =0.001).Conclusion Dynamic monitoring of serum PCT levels can be helped to assessment the prognosis of patients with sepsis and also predict the severity of the illness.The level of serum calcitonin can reflect the severity of severe pneumonia in elderly patients within six hours after admission,but can not accurately determine the prognosis of patients with severe pneu-monia.Dynamic monitoring of changes in serum calcitonin level is helpful to judge the prognosis of the elderly patients with severe pneumonia and the predictive value of serum calcitonin level change rate is higher in seventy -two hours after admission.

Ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs) regulate the deconjugation of ubiquitin tag from substrate proteins. Dysregulation of USPs has been linked to many diseases. Despite extensive efforts by academia and industry,high quality chemical molecules targeting the USPs family of ubiquitin enzymes are still scarce. In this commentary,I propose the criteria of a high quality chemical probe and the strategies to target USPs.

Objective To investigate the effects of iri doid on the spermatogenesis in mice of type-2 diabetes induced by nicotinamide and streptozotocin. Methods Fifty-six male C57BL mice were randomly divided into seven groups (n=8 for each group):control group, diabetic group, diabetic and glibenclamide (0.25 mg/kg) group, diabetic and iridoid (20 and 40 mg/kg) group, and iridoid (20 and 40 mg/kg) group. Diabetic model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (65 mg/kg) and nicotinamide (120 mg/kg). Glibenclamide and iridoid were orally fed for 28 days. Twenty-four hours after the last treatment, blood samples, testis and the epididymis were collected for detecting blood hormones, testicular biopsy, and the evaluation of sperm parameters. Results The body weights of diabetic mice were recovered from the reduction after treatment with 40 mg/kg of iridoid and glibenclamide(P<0.05). The sperm count and viability were significantly decreased in diabetic group compared with those of control group (P<0.05). The sperm count was significantly increased in diabetic and glibenclamide group than that of diabetic group (P<0.05). The serum levels of lutein hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and testosterone (T) were significantly decreased in diabetic group compared with those of control group (P<0.05). The serum levels of LH, FSH and T were increased after treatment with 40 mg/kg of iridoid and glibenclamide (P<0.05). Conclusion These results suggest that iridoid can reduce the level of oxidative damage in
diabetic mice, and effectively improve the fertility of mice.
