Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2016;40(8):610-612
Objective] The article summarizes the experience of using sanren decoction to treat pediatric diseases by Professor Liu Lin, the famous TCM physician of Hubei. [Methods] Through following Professor Liu Lin clinical diagnosis, organize his medical records, summarize the experience and thoughts of using Sanren decoction to treat pediatric diseases, and for some cases. [Results] Professor Liu Lin believes that the physiological and pathological characteristics of children prone to cause hot and humid accumulation, pediatric Chih-Yin is not substantial, with their lungs often delicate and spleens often inadequate, they prone to get hot and humid accumulation after sick, and later appear a variety of symptoms including upper burner, center burner and lower burner. Therefore, the treatment of pediatric disease should take the heat into account, bearing in mind the residence site of heat evil and syndrome differentiation. Professor Liu Lin makes good use of Sanren decoction to treat a variety of pediatric diseases, judging the residence site of heat evil and clinical manifestations, giving the corresponding treatment flexibly. Such as the treatment of bronchitis with almonds as the monarch herb to expectorant cough, treatment of infantile anorexia with White Kou Ren as the monarch herb to activate spleen and remove dampness, treatment of children with nephrotic syndrome with Yiyiren as the monarch herb for penetration of water, treatment of HFMD with the Sanren to regulate Qi of triple burner, according to the symptoms to medicate and always has good clinical effect. [Conclusion] Professor Liu Lin using Sanren decoction to treat pediatric diseases is effective, his thought is worthy of depth study and promotion.

Objective To explore pre C and YMDD motif mutant of hepatitis B virus during lamivudine therapy. Methods From five chronic hepatitis B patients with serum HBeAg seroconversion but HBV DNA positive by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) following lamivudine therapy, sequences of the pre C and P genes of hepatitis B virus were analyzed by direct PCR product sequencing methods. Results All the five patients were observed to have G to A variations at nucleotide 1896. However, such mutations were observed only in 2 of the 5 patients before HBeAg seroconversion emerged. Meanwhile YMDD mutations were found in all the five patients during lamivudine therapy three of which were M552I mutants, two were M552I associated with L528M. One of the five patients had no reaction to the therapy, four had HBV DNA breakthrough during therapy. Conclusions The mutants of pre C associated with YMDD mutations may arise in the patients with HBeAg seroconversion and positive HBV DNA during the treatment of lamivudine. HBV DNA should be detected in the patients with HBeAg seroconversion to exclude the pre C mutation.

Post-stroke aphasia refers to acquired language disorder caused by cerebrovascular disease.As part of cognitive function,language is closely related with other non-linguistic cognitive function.In recent years,many scholars have begun to pay attention to the relationship between language disorder and non-verbal cognitive function in patients with post-stroke aphasia.This paper describes the epidemiology of cognitive impairment in patients with post-stroke aphasia,and summarizes the relationship between language obstruction and the non-language-based cognitive function in patients with aphasia after stroke (such as working memory,attention,execution,etc.) to provide a direction for further research.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of MK-801 on levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID)in Parkinson' s disease (PD). MethodsRat models ( n = 25) of Parkinsonism related motor complications were established and were randomly divided into levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) group (n = 10), MK801 treatment group (n = 10) and PD group (n =5). Another 5 rats were served as control group. The behaviors of LID rats treated with MK-801 were observed. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis were used to determine the expression of β-arrestin1 in the striate of rats.Results After MK-801 treatment, abnormalinvoluntarymovementscores and peakturning weredecreasedin LIDrats.Immunohistochemistry showed that β-arrestin1-positive cells of the lesioned side ((2. 95 ± 0. 44) × 104) in LID rats were decreased compared to the contralateral side ( ( 3.78 ± 0. 37 ) × 104, t = 5. 415, P < 0. 05 ).Western blot showed that the levels of β-arrestinl in PD group ( presented as lesioned side/contralateral side) were ( 81.02% ± 2. 23% ). The levels of β-arrestin1 (64. 88% ± 3. 10% ) were deceased in LID rats compared to PD rats ( t = 9.47, P < 0. 01 ). However, the levels of β-arrestin1 ( 89. 26% ± 1.90% )were increased in MK-801-treated rats (t = 14. 82, P <0. 01). ConclusionsMK-801 reduces LID in PD rats. The beneficial effect of MK-801 may be mediated through the increased expression of β-arrestinl which in turninhibits the overactivation of glutamate receptors.

Objective To investigate the relationship between G protein-coupled receptor kinase 6 (GRK6) and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor in the mechanism study underlying motor complications in Parkinson's disease (PD).Methods The rat models (n= 25) of Parkinsonism related motor complications were established and were randomly divided into levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) group (n= 10,intraperitoneal injection of levodopa for 23 d),MK-801 treatment group (n= 10,intraperitoneal injection of MK-801 at day23 after intraperitoneal injection with levodopa for 22 days) and PD group (n= 5,intraperitoneal injection of vitamin C).Another 5 rats were served as controls (sham-operation group).The behavior changes of rats in MK-801 treatment group were observed,and the expression of GRK6 in the striate of rats was detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.Results After the chronic treatment with levodopa methyl ester,PD rats displayed abnormal involuntary movements,which was similar to levodopainduced dyskinesia in PD patients.Immunohistochemistry showed that GRK6-positive cells of lesion side were decreased in LID rats as compared with PD rats [(3.23±0.41 ) × 103 vs.(4.81 ± 1.31 ) ×103,P<0.01].Rats in MK-801 treatment group displayed the decreased AIM scores and increased peak rotation,and the increased GRK6-positive cells of lesion side as compared with LID rats (P<0.05).Western blot showed that the levels of GRK6 was 83.7% ±2.1% in PD group (presented as lesion side/unlesion side),76.8% ± 2.2% in LID group and 91.1% ± 2.7% in MK-801 treatment group (intergroups comparison:all P<0.05).These results were in accordance with the results of immunohistochemistry.Conclusions Antagonist of NMDA receptor can be used to reduce the motor complications in rats.It may be due to increased GRK6 which inhibits the overactivation of glutamic acid receptors.

Objective To develop and validate a ultrasonographic (US)imaging agent with targeted microbubbles that attaches to chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2)and to compare the US single obtained from targeted microbubble with that from control microbubble in murine breast tumor model.Methods The microbubble which carried CCR2 antibody (MBCCR2 )and isotype-macthed immunoglobulin G-labled control microbubble (MBcontrol ) were prepared. The microbubble size and distribution were assessed by AccuSizer780.Binding specificities of targeted microbubble compared with control microbubble were tested with murine microvascular endothelial cells (bEnd.3 ).Orthotopic breast tumor model was estabished in BALB/c mice with mouse breast cancer 4T1 cell.In vivo imaging signals of contrast material-enhanced ultrasound by use these two different types of microbubble which were injected respectively into each mouse at random order and 30 min interval.Tumor tissue was stained for CCR2 and CD3 1 .Results Automatic Particle Sizer showed size uniform of two kinds of microbubbles,and narrow distribution of particle size (mean diameter of about 1 -2 μm),which were not significantly different (P >0.05).Adhension to bEnd. 3 endothelial cells was significantly higher (P < 0.001 )for MBCCR2 (mean,9.50 ± 1 .5 1 )than that for MBcontrol (mean,0.01 ±0.01).Imaging signal in the murine tumor model was significantly higher for MBCCR2 [mean,(6.76±0.26)dB]than that for MBcontrol [mean,(1 .06 ±0.62)dB,P <0.001 ].Immunofluorescence confirmed expression of CCR2 on tumor vasculature.Conclusions The targeted microbubbles with CCR2 monoclonal antibody had been successfully prepared,which precisely targeted to CCR2 of tumor angiogenesis in the murine breast cancer xenograft tumor models in vivo.These results suggest that the targeted microbubbles as a kind of ultrasound molecular imaging agent with a better specificity can be used for both evaluating tumor neovascularization and monitoring therapeutic effect of anti-angiogenesis.
