Selected mainly were acupoints in the adjacent areas and along the meridians, assisted by ashi points. Fengmen (BL 12), Geshu (BL 17) and Xuehai (SP 10) were selected for migratory arthralgia;Shenshu (BL 23) and Guanyuan (CV 4) for cold-aggravated arthralgia; Pishu (BL 20), Zusanli (ST 36)and Yinlingquan (SP 9) for damp arthralgia; Dazhui (GV 14) and Quchi (LI 11) for heat-induced arthralgia. Acupuncture in combination with far infra-red radiation was performed.76 patients with rheumatoid arthritis were treated and 74 cases with herb therapy as control. The result showed that there was statistically significant difference in curative effect between the 2 groups, χ 2=10.18, P＜ 0.01, indicating that the curative effect was significantly better in the treatment group than in the control group. Statistics showed that there was no significant difference in curative effect among the 4 syndromic types, namely migratory arthralgia, cold-aggravated arthralgia, damp-induced arthralgia and heat-induced arthralgia. But there was a statistically significant difference in curative effect between the above 4 syndromic types and deficiency-type arthralgia, indicating that the curative effect in deficiency-type arthralgia was worst.

Objective:To investigate the effect of miR-26b on the invasion and migration of lung cancer cell and to explore its mechanism.Methods:qPCR was used to detect the expression of miR-26b in lung cancer.Luciferase reporter gene was used to detect interaction between miR-26b and hENT1.Transwell assay was used to detect invasion ability after treatment of miR-26b mimics.Scratch assay was used to detect migration ability after treatment of miR-26b mimics.The expressions of hENT1,ROCK-I and RhoA were detected by Western blot.The changes of cytoskeleton after miR-26b mimics treatment with phalloidin were observed.The effect of miR-26b mimics on the tumor size and volume of lung cancer was determined by subcutaneous tumor formation in nude mice.Results:MiR-26b expression was significantly reduced in lung cancer.With the progress of lung cancer,the expression of miR-26b was reduced.With the progress in differentiation of lung cancer,the expression of miR-26b was decreased.Decrease of miR-26b was associated with lung cancer lymph node metastasis.HENT1 was the direct target of miR-26b;miR-26b regulated the invasion and migration ability of human lung carcinoma A549 cells.MiR-26b regulated the expression of hENT1,ROCK-1 and RhoA.After the treatment with miR-26b mimics,the F-actin staining was significantly reduced,whereas the formation of wrinkles and the formation of pseudopodia were significantly reduced.Subcutaneous tumor formation in nude mice showed that miR-26b mimics treatment significantly reduced the tumor size and mass.Conclusion:MiR-26b plays a role in tumor suppression in lung cancer.miR-26b can regulate the invasion and migration ability of lung carcinoma A549 cells by targeting hENT1 depending on the RhoA/ROCK-1 pathway.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus rehabilitation training in improving post-stroke dysphagia. Method A total of 60 patients with post-stroke dysphagia were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. The two groups were intervened by basic treatment of internal medicine and swallowing rehabilitation training, and the treatment group was additionally given acupuncture treatment. The Standardized Swallowing Assessment (SSA), water swallowing test and Swallowing Quality of Life Questionnaire (SWAL-QOL) were evaluated in the two groups before and after the treatment. Result After the treatment, the SSA scores in the two groups were significantly decreased compared to those before the treatment (P<0.01), and the SWAL-QOL scores were significantly increased compared to those before the treatment (P<0.01); the SSA score in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.01), and the SWAL-QOL score was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The water swallowing test classification after the treatment was significantly superior to that before the treatment in the treatment group (P<0.01), and there was a significant difference compared to that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture plus rehabilitation training can obviously improve the swallowing function of patients with post-stroke dysphagia, and the clinical efficacy was superior to single rehabilitation training.

[Results]The curative effect in therapy group is much better than that of control group(P<0.05).[Conclusion]The therapy of acupuncture and medicine is superior to pure medicine in the treatment of post-stroke hiccup.

Myocardial tissue masses were isolated from two human fetus of 10 and 16 week's gestation respectively and they were cultured under the conditions for cultivating the myocardial cells of the rodents. Spontaneous beating occured. In one case the frequency of beating was 21～27 beats/min, and the beating lasted for 30 days until the culture was terminated artifitially. In another case a cell mass continued to beat as long as 75 days with a frequency of 200～290 beats/min, and then stopped spontaneously. The differences in thickness and shapes of the tissue masses would influence the modes of growth after culturing. Thicker tissue mass grew more slowly and the fibroblasts and myocardial cells grew and spreaded out radially, or in band form. In tissue mass with a thin border the marginal myocardial cells bulged out in globular shape in the early stage and then separated from the cell mass and continued to grow. In thin layered tissue mass, because of the rapid overgrowth of the surrounding fibroblasts, the myocardial tissue would grow and overlap them and increased steadily in thickness. This procedure is simple and relatively stable, and possible to retain the long-lasting beating of the myocardial tissus, but it is difficult to obtain a pure myocardial cell culture for cell counts and other quantitative studies.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease(ADPKD),a common inherited disease,is characterized by massive enlargement of fluid-filled renal cysts.Progressively enlarging cysts compromise normal renal parenchyma,reduce renal function and lead to renal failure.Up to now,the treatment options for ADPKD have been limited to renal replacement therapy by dialysis or by transplantation for patients with end-stage renal failure.Inhibition of cyst fluid secretion,suppression of cyst epithelial cell growth and prevention of renal failure are new approaches to treat PKD.

OBJECTIVE To survey antibiotic use and its rationality in clinical settings. METHODS Randomly selected medical records of 500 patients from Oct to Dec of 2004 were reviewed for retrospective studies.Analysis with regard to drug category combination purpose,therapeatic course,indications and resistance was conducted. RESULTS The incidence of antibiotic use was 98%,31% of which was intended for active treatment,and 69% for preventive regimen;65% of the cases in internal medicine were for active treatment,and 34% for preventive regimen,45% of the cases in surgical use were for active treatment,and 54% were for preventive purposes.The total number of antibiotic use was 539 case-times.In terms of preventive use,single drug comprised 57%,bi-drug therapy 19%,before operations 19%,and local use was 5%.As for active treatment single drug consisted of 49%,two-drugs 27%,three-drugs 7%,and four-drugs 1%,local use accounted for 16%.Fifty five cases of the therapeutic use of antibiotics were reviewed,taking up 28% of the total with 19 positive cases,whose positive rate accounted for 35%. CONCLUSIONS The administration of the reasonable use of antibiotics is a systematic project.

OBJECTIVE To assess the current status of nosocomial infection and antibiotics utilization of the hospital.METHODS The hospital infection rate was investigated,by means of prevalence survey and investigation of bed-side and cases records.RESULTS Of the 1620 surveyed cases,the prevalence rate was 5.49% and the case prevalence rate 5.93%.And the top three infected sites were the lower respiratory tract,upper respiratory tract and urinary tract(48.88%,13.54% and 10.42%,respectively).The total number of antibiotic use was 599 case-times.The incidence of antibiotic use was 36.9%.Of 322 cases,53.76% was intended for active treatment,and 34.56% for preventive regimen.CONCLUSIONS It is necessary to strengthen management of hospital infection and the management of clinical antibiotic usage in some wards.
