Objective:To explore therapeutic effect of pharyngeal treatment machine (PTM) combined resuscitating acupuncture (RA) on patients with dysphagia after stroke.Methods: A total of 98 stroke patients with dysphagia were selected.According to random number table, they were randomly and equally divided into pure pharyngeal treatment group (received pure PTM therapy based on routine treatment) and combined treatment group (received RA based on pure pharyngeal treatment group).Video fluorography (VFG) score and swallow-quality of life (SWAL-QOL) score before and after treatment, and total effective rate were evaluated and compared between two groups.Results: Compared with before treatment, there was significant rise in VFG score, and significant reduction in SWAL-QOL score in both groups after treatment, P<0.01 all;compared with pure pharyngeal treatment group after treatment, there was significant rise in VFG score [(5.46±2.04) scores vs.(6.54±2.75) scores], and significant reduction in SWAL-QOL score [(741.33±25.92) scores vs.(632.54±26.77) scores] in combined treatment group, P=0.032, 0.001 respectively.Total effective rate of combined treatment group was significantly higher than that of pure pharyngeal treatment group (93.88% vs.75.51%), P=0.014.Conclusion: Compared with pure pharyngeal treatment machine, pharyngeal treatment machine combined resuscitating acupuncture possesses better therapeutic effect for recovery of swallowing function, which is worth extending.

Objective To discuss the X-knife radiosurgery (XKS) in the treatment of brain metastasis of lung carcinoma. Methods A total of 100 patients with similar prognostic factors were divided into two groups with 50 patients in each group, receiving either whole-brain radiotherapy alone (30~40 Gy/3~4 weeks) (Radiotherapy Group) or XKS combined with radiotherapy (Combination Group). In the Combination Group, 27 patients received XKS with single fraction of radiation, with a median prescription dose of 14.2 Gy, and the other 23 patients received multiple fractions of radiation (5~10 Gy/f, 3 times weekly), with a total dose of 15~30 Gy. Results In the Combination Group and the Radiotherapy Group, the median survival time was 16.4 and 10 months, respectively (P=0.0064), the 2-year local tumor control rate was 88% (44/50) and 44% (22/50), respectively (?2=21.569,P=0.000), and the effective rate under CT or MRI scanning at 1~3 months after treatment was 87.5% (35/40) and 52.2% (24/46), respectively (?2=16.497,P=0.001). An analysis on the cause of death showed that 11.9% of patients (5/42) in the Combination Group died from brain metastasis, which was significantly lower than that in the Radiotherapy Group (55.6%, 25/45) (?2=25.908,P=0.000). The incidence of complications was not significantly different between the Combination Group (8%, 4/50) and the Radiotherapy Group (4%, 2/50) (?2=0.709,P=0.400). Conclusions Combined use of X-knife radiosurgery and routine radiotherapy has better therapeutic effects than radiotherapy alone for treating brain metastatic tumor.

Objective To investigate the significance of serum IP-10 levels in different types of diabetic patients. Methods Serum IP-10 level in 78 cases with type 1 diabetes,49 cases with type 2 diabetes and 33 cases of healthy controls was measured with ELISA assays. Type 1 diabetic patients were divided into classic type 1 diabetes (n=39) and latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA,n=39) according to their disease process,and they were also divided into autoimmune type 1 diabetes (n=58) and idiopathic type 1 diabetes (n=20).Type 2 diabetic patients,according to carotid intima-media thickness (IMT),were divided into patients with (n=24) or without atherosclerosis (n=25). Results 1) Serum IP-10 levels were not statistically different among type 1 diabetes,type 2 diabetes and healthy controls. 2) Serum IP-10 concentrations in autoimmune type 1 diabetes with positive islet autoantibody were higher than those in healthy controls(184.96?104.48pg/ml vs 146.10?74.61pg/ml,P=0.03);while there were no difference in type 1 diabetes with variable disease durations. 3) No difference in IP-10 levels was found between type 2 patients with(173.5?69.6pg/ml) and without atherosclerosis (188.5?79.7 pg/ml). Conclusions Serum IP-10 level is augmented in autoimmune type 1 diabetes.

Objective To develop a new vascular heat transfer model in the neck to analyze temperature field affected by vertebral artery. Methods With numerical simulation based on the experimental dimension data, a new model along the axial temperature distributions of blood vessels of neck was established as neck surface under normal temperature condition and during hypothermia therapy. In addition, the results were compared with those based on conventional models without vertebral arteries considered. Results It was showed that vertebral arteries played an essential role in the process of transporting blood to the brain, and it was more effective to cool the vertebral arterial blood than any other major cervical arteries in order to cool the blood before entering the Circle of Willis. Conclusion All the results obtained in this study may offer some theoretical supports to the medical proposal to cool down the brain by hypothermia therapy, for example, by covering the head and neck with ice helmet.

Objective To observe the effect of Kouchuangping oral liquid (KCP), which can clear away stomach-heat, purge fire, nourish yin, on golden yellow hamster aphtha that induced by PQ. Methods Inject PQ which can cause membrana mucosa ulceration in golden yellow hamster’s cheek pouch, observe the pathomorphological process of ulcerative lesion and antioxidation of three different KCP dosage teams. Result The KCP has the function of anti-inflammation and anti-exudation on ulcerative lesion, which can relieve epithelium necrosis and promote the recovery of ulceration. It also can increase the vigor of SOD in serum and degrade the content of MDA. Conclusion KCP has the functions of antioxidation and eliminate oxydic and metabolic products.

Objective To investigate the differentiation from human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) into neuron-like cells. Methods hMSC were separated from rib marrow with Ficoll-Paque reagent and expanded in culture medium. hMSC were induced to differentiate into neurons with DMEM/BHA/DMSO or DMEM/monothioglycerol, respectively. Neuron-specific enolase (NSE), neurofilament (NF), nestin, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results hMSC were expanded to be undifferentiated cells in culture for more than 10 passages. The isolated and cultured MSC comprised a single phenotypic population and displayed a fibroblast-like morphology. Simple method induced hMSC exhibiting a neuronal phenotype, with a positive expression of NSE, NF-M and nestin at 5 hours. But the neuron-like cells did not express the glial astrocyte marker GFAP. Conclusion It suggests that hMSC can be differentiated into neurons in vitro .

Objective To investigate the effects of levocarnitine used as an ingredient of cardioplegic solution on cardiomyocyte apoptosis in patients undergoing heart valve replacement under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) .Methods Twenty-four NYHA grade Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients of both sexes (16 males, 8 females) aged 27-67 yrs undergoing heart valve replacement under CPB were randomly allocated into 2 groups (n = 12): levocarnitine group and control group. In levocarnitine group levocarnitine 6 g was added to 1 000 ml of 4℃ St Thomas Ⅱ cardioplegic solution, while in control group equal volume of normal saline was added instead of levocarnitine. Cardioplegic solution 15 ml?kg-1 was injected to perfuse the heart every 30 min during aortic cross-clamping. The KC1 concentration of the cardioplegic solution was reduced by half for the last injection. During CPB the naso pharyngeal temperature was maintained at 25-27℃. Cardiac index (CI) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were measured 1 day before and 7 days after operation using heart color ultrasonography. A small piece of myocardial tissue was obtained from right atrium for assessment of apoptosis using terminal deoxynueleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL) . The expression of Bax and Bcl-2 in cardiomyocytes was determined by immuno-histochemistry, and Bcl-2/Bax ratio was calculated. Results The rate of restoration of spontaneous heart beat after aortic unclamping was significantly higher in levocarnitine group than in control group (86.6% vs 47.3%) (P
