AIM To develop a simple reasonable and provable model of hypophysis shut off in rats with dexamethasone. METHODS Dexamethasone 6 mg?kg -1 was injected subcutaneously into two groups of rats at 3:00~3:30 pm on the preceding day. This dose was repeated at 9:00~9:30 am next day. The control group was treated with saline in the same way. One hour later, one of the dexamethasone treated groups was ig with Z47 200 mg?kg -1 , the other dexamethasone treated group and the control group was ig with 0 5% CMC. Then all the groups were ip with 0 086 mol?L -1 HAc in order to generate stress reaction. The reduction of the content of Vit C in adrenal gland was taken as the index of secretion of ACTH. RESULTS The content of Vit C in NS CMC HAc was obviously lower than in Dex CMC HAc group. There were statistically significant differences ( P

Objective To investigate the effects of Xuebijing injectio (Chinese herb preparation) on intestinal function and inflammatory responses in severe burn patients. Method Thirty-two patients with comparable severity in burn injury were randomly divided into Xuebijing injectio treatment group (n = 16) and control group (n = 16). Patients in both groups received routine burn therapy, while those in Xuebijing treatment group additionally received Xuebijing injectio 100mL in intravenous drip twice a day for 7 days. Before the treatment and on the 3rd and the 7th day after the treatment, blood concentrations of diamine oxidase (DAO), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) ,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were determined in both groups. Analysis was made by SPSS 12.0 software. Results The plasma levels of DAO, LPS, TNF-α and IL-6 were decreased in both groups after the treatment. However, the plasma levels of DAO, LPS, TNF-α and IL-6 in the Xuebijing treatment group were significantly lower than those in control group on the 3rd and 7th day after the treatment (P< 0.05).Conclusions Xuebijing injectio could protect intestinal function, decrease the plasma level of endotoxin and lessen zhe inflammatory responses in severe burn patients.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture and waist-building exercise in treating lumbar disk herniation. Methods: A multi-center, randomized controlled trial was adopted. Three hundred cases of lumbar disk herniations were divided into two groups, an observation group in which 149 cases were treated by electroacupuncture and waist-building exercise, and a control group in which 151 cases were treated by electroacupuncture alone. The clinical efficacy and long-term relapse rate were observed and compared between the two groups. Results: Among 149 cases in the observation group, 80 cases were cured, 57 cases improved, 12 cases failed and 4 cases relapsed; the cure rate was 53.7%, the total effective rate was 91.9% and the relapse rate was 5.0%. Among 151 cases in the control group, 74 cases were cured, 51 cases improved, 26 cases failed and 12 cases relapsed; the cure rate was 49.0%, the total effective rate was 82.8% and the relapse rate was 16.2%. There were significant differences in the cure rate and the total effective rate between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion: Combined electroacupuncture and waist-building exercise had better effects than electroacupuncture in treating lumbar disk herniation.

Objective To explore the probable mechanism of tinnitus and the accompanied symptoms us-ing RS-FMRI. Methods We recruited 10 adults with chronic tinnitus and 10 health adults for fMRI in the resting state. Then we compared the differences of regional homogeneity(REHO)maps and functional connectivity to the whole-brain maps with the auditory cortex as a region of interest between the two groups. Results The REHO maps of tinnitus group showed significant differences in the automated anatomical labeling brain map including the middle frontal_gyrus (right),superior frontal_gyrus (left),entorhinal cortex_(right),middle occipital_gyrus (right),middle occipital gyrus(bilateral),lingual gyrus(left)and cuneate lobe(left). The functional connectivity maps of tinnitus group showed significant differences in lingal_gyrus(left)of AAL brain regions. The p threshold value was<0.001 in all results. Conclusion Tinnitus may cause abnormal neural activity in several non-auditory brain regions,which may be the neurophysiological mechanism of tinnitus accompanied symptoms.
