2.Clinical Observations on Acupuncture Point Injection of Mouse Nerve Growth Factor for the Treatment of Sciatic Nerve Injury
Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2016;35(8):989-991
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of points injection of mouse nerve growth factor in treating sciatic nerve injury.MethodAcupuncture point injection of injectable mouse nerve growth factorwas performed in 60 patients with sciatic nerve injury. Points Huantiao(GB30)and Zusanli(ST36)were selected. Treatment was given once daily, for a total of 30 times. Sensory and motor functions were assessed (MS and SS) and electromyography (EMG) was performed before and after treatment to compare motor nerve conduction velocities (MCV) and sensory nerve conduction velocities (SCV) in the injured nerves and EMG changes in the musclescontrolled by the injured nerves.ResultAfter treatment, nerve function was restored to more than S3M3, with an efficacy rate of 81.7%, in 49 patients. Neuro-electrophysiological study showed that regenerative potentials occurred, accounting for 71.7%,in43patients. Denervated potentials were fewer after treatment than before; there was a significant difference (P<0.05). The mean MCV value increased after treatment compared with before; there was a significant difference (P<0.05). ConclusionAcupuncture point injection of mouse nerve growth factor can markedly improve sensory and motor functions in the regions controlled by the injured sciatic nerve. It provides an effective way to promote the repair of sciatic nerves and the reconstruction of limb function after the nerves are injured.

At the urgent request of Artemisia annua (ART) planting, the paper gets artemisinin content (ARTC) of ART in China from literatures. The paper analyses the relationships between ARTC and ecological factors by statistical analytical methods. The paper also analyses the climate suitable rank distribution of ARTC in China by ArcGIS. The results display that first, ARTC is significantly different in China, that ART from the south regions ARTC is higher. Greatest north parts of China have not suitable climate for the growing of ART and the ARTC is lower than 0.2%, when ART grows above the 34th degree of northern latitude. ARTC is higher and ART grows well, when ART grows under the 34 degrees N and grows at the areas between 100 degrees E and 120 degrees E. Second, subtropical zone is the best suitable climate zone for the growing of ART. ART grows well and ARTC is higher than 0.5%, when ART grows in the subtropical zone. Third, temperature, sunshine duration and rainfall are the main ecological factors that affect the growth of ART and the accumulation of ARTC. That the year temperature between 13.9 degrees C and 22 degrees C, sunshine duration between 853 h and 1507 h, rainfall between 814 mm and 1518 mm, is the best climate for the accumulation of ARTC. Temperature between 13 degrees C and 29 degrees C, rainfall between 600 mm and 1300 mm is the best climate for the growth of ART. Fourth, in northwest of Guangxi, eastern of Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, south Chongqing and west Hunan Province, there are suitable climate for the growth of Artemisia and for the accumulating of ARTC. There are also some suitable climate areas for the growing of artemisia in the south of Hubei, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces.
