Objective To observe effects of Huanglian Jiedu Decoction on fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin (FINS), abdominal aortic morphology and expression of HIF-1α in the abdominal aorta in rats with type 2 diabetes. Methods The rat model of type 2 diabetes was established by intravenous injection of streptozotocin and feeding with high sugar and high fat diet. Rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group, control group and treatment group. The blank group and model group were given normal saline by gavage, the control group was given metformin, and the treatment group was given Huanglian Jiedu Decoction. Six weeks later, the levels of FBG and FINS were determined. Immunohistochemical method was used to determine the expression of HIF-1α in abdominal aorta and HE staining method to observe the changes of abdominal aortic morphology. Results Compared with model group and control group, abdominal aorta of HIF-1α and FBG level of treatment group were significantly decreased (P <0.01), FINS significantly increased (P <0.01), and abdominal aortic endothelial cell injury was significantly improved. Conclusion Huanglian Jiedu Decoction has a protective effect on the injury of vascular endothelium, and its mechanism may be related with inhibiting the expression of HIF-1α.

Objective To investigate the effects of mirror therapy supplemented with motor imaging training on the upper extremity functions of hemiplegic stroke patients and on their ability in the activities of daily living (ADL).Methods Forty-four stroke patients were divided into a control group and an experimental group with 22 patients in each.All were given routine rehabilitation treatment.In addition,the experimental group was given 30 minutes of mirror therapy daily supplemented with 15 minutes of motor imaging training.The control group was given routine occupational therapy.All the patients were assessed with Brunnstrom staging,the functional test for the hemiplegic upper extremity-Hong Kong (FTHUE-HK) and the Barthel index (BI) scale before therapy and after 6 weeks.Results After 6 weeks of treatment,both groups showed significant improvements in upper limb function,hand function,and ADL ability.There were significant intra-group differences and significant differences between the experimental and control groups in terms of Brunnstrom staging,FTHUE-HK scores and BI scores.Conclusions Mirror therapy supplemented with motor imaging training can benefit patients suffering hemiplegia in improving their upper limb functioning and their ADL ability.

OBJECTIVE To set up an intranasal ovalbumin-induced animal model of allergic rhinitis(AR) accompanied with olfactory dysfunction in mice. By observing the olfactory pathway in mice using manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MEMRI) and the relatively morphologic structural and immunological changes in olfactory epithelium, the influence of AR on olfactory receptor neurons(ORNs) was studied.METHODS Forty SD mice were randomly divided into two groups, the research group(n=30) and the control group(n=10). The research group was intraperitoneally injected and intranasal application of ovalbumin to establish an AR mice model. The olfactory function of the mice was evaluated by buried food test(BFT). ELISA was performed to measure the level of IgE in serum. MEMRI images were acquired with a 7.0 T micro-MR scanner. HE staining and immunohistochemistry were used to observe the tissues morphology change of olfactory mucosa and OMP expression.RESULTS The olfactory function evaluation of the AR mice model indicated that the incidence of olfactory dysfunction in AR mice was 40.0%. The AR mice with olfactory dysfunction had no signal enhancement in MEMRI. The olfactory epithelium became thinner, layer numbers of ORNs were decreased with disorder arrangement and the OMP expression was decreased in AR mice with olfactory dysfunction compared with that in AR mice without olfactory dysfunction(P=0.018) and the control group(P=0.0141).CONCLUSION An animal model of AR accompanied with olfactory dysfunction in mice was successfully established. The influence of AR on ORNs and thus cause the change of the olfactory pathway is one of the major pathogenesis of olfactory dysfunction in AR.

A total of 55 cases of advanced schistosomiasis patients combined with Ⅲ-grade hepatic fibrosis and ascites were randomized into a splenectomy group and non-splenectomy group. The peripheral vein blood phlebotomized from these patients were detected for leucocytes, hematids, thrombocytes, acidophils, glutamic-pyruvic transaminase,alkaline phosphatase,albumin, total bilirubin,three-type precollagen, fore-type collagen, hyaluronic acid, IgG, IgA, C_3, C_4 and the sub-group of lymphocytes such as CD3、CD4、 CD8 、CD56 + 16. There were no significant difference on hepatic function and the level of hepatic fibrosis between the groups above metioned. It could be found that leucocytes, thrombocytes, IgG, IgA, CD56 + 16 increased while CD3, CD4, and albumin decreased in the splenectomy group. In conclusion, leucocytes and thrombocytes increase after splenectomy, cytoimmunity declines and humoral immunity enhances.

AIM: To investigate the expression of vitamin D3 up-regulated protein 1 (VDUP1) in peripheral eosinophils of asthma patients and its relation with eosinophil activation.METHODS: 10 normal volunteers and 31 mild to moderate asthma patients were selected. Symptom severity, pulmonary function index, induced sputum eosinophil counts were recorded. Then, gene and protein expressions of VDUP1 and ?-actin were evaluated by RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. In addition, eosinophils were incubated with IL-5, both VDUP1 and ?-actin were amplified by RT-PCR. The eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) of supernatant and serum were also detected by ELISA assay. RESULTS: There was a significant decrease in expression of VDUP1 in asthma attack patients without treatment compared with normal volunteers and patients in remission. In contrast, no significant difference between the patients in remission and normal volunteers was observed. In patients with asthma attacks, a negative relationship between expression intensity of VDUP1 and EOS% in induced sputum and serum ECP concentration was also observed. The expression of VDUP1 in eosinophils was decreased by IL-5 stimulation, simultaneously, the ECP in supernatant was increased. CONCLUSION: The expression of VDUP1 in eosinophils decreases in asthma patients, and is negatively associated with serum ECP and induced sputum EOS%. EOS activation by IL-5 may be related to VDUP1 pathway.

Objective To explore the efficacy of fast-track surgery (FTS) combined with standard rehabilitation program (HSS) in elderly patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA).Methods Ninety elderly patients with femoral neck fracture were randomly assigned to receive either FZS plus HSS Tehabilitation program (experimental group,n =45) or HSS rehabilitation program (control group,n =45) after THA from December 2013 to December 2014 in our hospital.The experimental group had 23 men and 22 women,with an average age of 68.2 ± 3.7 years.The control group had 22 men and 23 women,with an average age of 70.6 ± 4.1 years.Harris score and visual analogue scale (VAS) were used to assess the hip joint function before operation,4,8 and 14 weeks after operation.The complications were compared between the 2 groups at 14 weeks after operation.Results All the patients completed a 14-week follow-up.There were no significant differences in Harris and VAS scores at pre-operation between the 2 groups (P ＞ 0.05).At 4,8 and 14 weeks after operation,the Harris scores in the experimental group (67.2 ±3.5,88.3 ±2.5and 92.5±3.3) were significantly higher than those in the control group (52.5±7.8,65.8±4.9 and 72.2±4.9) and the VAS scores in the experimental group (3.4±0.8,2.2±0.8 and 1.3±0.5) were significantly lower than those in the control group (5.6 ±0.9,4.2 ±0.8 and 2.9 ±0.8) (P ＞ 0.05).There were no complications in the experiment group while there were 14 complications (31.1％) in the control group,showing a significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion FTS combined with HSS standardized rehabilitation can effectively reduce the incidence of complications and accelerate the functional recovery of hip joint in elderly patients after THA.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in patients undergoing postoperative early enteral nutrition (EEN) with radical resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods The clinical data of 48 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma who were admitted to the Drum Tower Clinical Medical College of Nanjing Medical University from July 2006 to September 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.All the 48 patients underwent radical resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma,including 24 patients receiving postoperative EEN (EEN group) and 24 patients receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN group).The serologic indices and liver function were detected regularly after operation.Ten percent of albumin (Alb) 10 g was administered by intravenous infusion when Alb ＜ 30 g/L.The indexes of all the 48 patients were compared in the 2 groups at postoperative day 3 and 7,including the serologic indices and liver function,the exhaust time,the volume of Alb infusion,the complications (incisional infection,abdominal infection,pleural effusion,peritoneal effusion and bile leakage) and the duration of hospital stay.The patients were followed up by outpatient examination and telephone interview till September 2014.The measurement data with normal distribution were presented as x ± s,comparison between groups and count data were analyzed using the t test and chi-squared test,respectively.Results Patients in the 2 groups were cured successfully and discharged,and no patient died perioperatively.Patients in the EEN group had a good tolerance for EEN and no occurrence of EEN-related complications was detected.The level of the GGT was (108 ± 73) U/L in the EEN group,which was significantly lower than (225 ± 121) U/L in the TPN group at postoperative day 3 (t =4.041,P ＜ 0.05).The level of the GGT was (142 ± 86) U/L in the EEN group,which was no significantly different from (183 ± 107)U/L in the TPN group at postoperative day 7 (t =1.477,P ＞ 0.05).The postoperative time to anal exsufflation and the duration of hospital stay were (73 ± 18) hours and (15 ± 4) days in the EEN group,which were significantly different from (97 ± 21) hours and (18 ± 4) days in the TPN group,and the volume of Alb infusion was (44 ± 29)g in the EEN group,which was significantly lower than (101 ± 92) g in the TPN group (t =4.295,2.615,2.916,P ＜ 0.05).All the 48 patients were followed up for 1 to 71 months (mediantime,10 months),no patients received reoperation or re-admitted to the hospital due to complications.Conclusion The application of postoperative EEN in enhanced recovery of patients undergoing radical resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma is safe and effective,it could accelerate the recovery of enteral function,shorten the postoperative duration of hospital stay and reduce the supplement of extrinsic Alb,which is helpful for the fast recovery of patients.
