Objective: To explore the effects of acupuncture combined with Brunnstrom staging on upper-limb motor function, cerebral arterial blood flow velocity, and brain function remodeling after stroke. Methods: A total of 77 patients after stroke were selected between January 2017 and December 2019 to perform a prospective study. All cases were divided into an observation group and a control group by the random number table method. Both groups were treated with conventional symptomatic treatment for stroke and functional exercise according to the Brunnstrom staging. The observation group was treated with additional acupuncture treatment based on the Brunnstrom staging therapy. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated after six-week treatment. The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom scores of dizziness, headache, limb numbness, and language disorders before and after the treatment in the two groups were compared. According to the Fugl-Meyer motor function assessment (FMA), the upper-limb motor function before and after the treatment was compared. And the average systolic blood flow velocity of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA), middle cerebral artery (MCA), and posterior cerebral artery (PCA) in the two groups before and after the treatment were compared. According to the modified Edinburgh-Scandinavia stroke scale (MESSS), the nerve function before and after the treatment was compared. Results: The total effective rate of the observation group was 94.9％, significantly higher than 79.0％ of the control group (P<0.05). After the treatment, the TCM symptom scores of dizziness, headache, limb numbness, and language disorders in both groups decreased, and the scores in the observation group were all significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The FMA score of upper limbs in both groups increased, and the score in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The average systolic blood flow velocities of the ACA, MCA and PCA in both groups increased, and were significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). The MESSS score in both groups decreased, and the score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture combined with Brunnstrom staging is effective for patients after stroke. It can effectively improve the upper-limb motor function and cerebral artery blood flow velocity, promote brain function remodeling, and restore nerve function.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of 64 slice spiral CT low dose chest scan in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods From January 2015 to January 2016,45 patients with suspected pulmonary tuberculosis were studied.All patients underwent routine chest CT scan and low dose chest CT scan.To compare the difference of radiation dose related parameters between normal dose chest CT scanning and low dose chest CT scan.To observe the display of the characteristics of lung disease by routine dose chest CT scanning and low dose chest CT scan.Results In 45 patients,there were a total of 30 patients were diagnosed with tuberculosis.The diagnostic sensitivity,specificity and diagnostic coincidence rate of conventional CT scan and spiral CT low-dose scan were 93.3% and 86.7% respectively.In low dose CT scanning radiation dose related parameters,the effective dose [(1.36±0.22)mSv vs.(5.24±0.68) mSv],CT dose index[(31.8±3.7) vs.(51.2±6.3)] and dose length product[(35.4±5.4)mGycm vs.(137.9±26.1) mGycm]were significantly lower than those of the conventional dose CT scan,the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05).Conventional dose and low dose CT scan could show the lung lesions of pulmonary tuberculosis.Comparison between the two groups,low dose CT scanning on the burr sign and grinding glass shadow display rate was low.Compared with the conventional dose CT scanning,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion In the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis,the radiation dose of 64 slice spiral CT is significantly decreased,be able to clear most of the lung lesions.However,the effect is poor in the display of the grinding glass and the thin and short burr.

Objective To investigate the levels of creatine kinase (CK-MB), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and neu-ropeptide Y (NPY) in severe pneumonia pediatric patients combined with heart failure (HF). Methods Pneumonia pediatric patients admitted from December 2010 to December 2014 had been enrolled and divided into pneumonia group (P) (n=32), se-vere pneumonia group (SP) (n=20) and severe pneumonia combined HF group (HF) (n=36). Twenty healthy children served as control group (C). Serum level of CK-MB was detected by enzyme rate method and were measured by ELISA. BNP and NPY were measured again during the recovery period in 18 cases in HF group. Results The serum levels of CK-MB, BNP and NPY were signiifcantly different among the four groups, (F=25.19~277.94, P<0.01). The serum levels of CK-MB, BNP and NPY were signiifcantly higher in HF group than in SP, P and C group (P<0.05). The serum level of CK-MB was signiifcantly higher in SP group than that in P and C group (P<0.05) and there was no difference between P and C group (P>0.05). The serum levels of BNP and NPY were not statistically signiifcant between SP and P and C group (all P>0.05). In HF group, the serum levels of CK-MB, BNP, and NPY were signiifcantly decreased in 18 cases after treatment. The serum level of BNP was positively correlat-ed with CK-MB and NPY (r=0.681, 0.525, all P<0.01) and the NPY and CK-MB levels were also positively correlated (r=0.545, P<0.01). Conclusions The Detection of the serum levels of CK-MB, BNP and NPY can help diagnose severe pneumonia com-bined with HF. The BNP maybe the most sensitive indicator.

BACKGROUND:Chronic hepatitis B virus infection can impact the biological characteristics of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cel s have gained more and more attention due to their high safety, little invasiveness, easy purification and rapid proliferation. OBJECTIVE:To establish the isolation and culture method of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cel s from patients with hepatitis B virus infection in vitro, and to observe the biological characteristics of cel s. METHODS:Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cel s were isolated from the subcutaneous fat of hepatitis B virus infection patients by col agenase digestion and adherent method. Growth curve of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cel s were detected by MTT method and cel phenotypes were detected by flow cytometry. The adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation potential of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cel s were detected in vitro. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cel s from 10 patients with hepatitis B virus infection were al isolated and cultured successful y. The primary passage time of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cel s was (8.3±1.2) days. The growth curve of cel s was“S”shaped. Cel s came into a logarithmic phase at days 3-4, and came into platform at day 7. (3) Passage 3 adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cel s highly expressed CD29, CD166, HLA-ABC and CD44, but did not express or lowly expressed CD34 and HLA-DR. (3) Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cel s differentiated into adipocytes after adipogenic induction, and differentiated cel s were positive for oil red O staining;after osteogenic induction, adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cel s differentiated into osteoblasts that were positive for alkaline phosphatase staining. These findings indicate that the col agenase digestion and adherent method can be used to effectively isolate adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cel s from patients with hepatitis B virus infection, and the cel proliferation is rapid so that a large number of cel s can be obtained in the short term.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of ester catechin monomers-EGCG, GCG on the growth of human colon carcinoma cell line SW480 and its potential mechanism. Methods MTT assay, soft-agar colony formation test, Hoechst 33258 stain and flow cytometry analysis were used to determine the inhibitory effect of theasinesin(TS), and its monomers-EGCG, GCG on SW480 growth. Results EGCG, GCG and TS significantly inhibited the growth of human colon carcinoma cell line SW480 in dose-dependent manner, and their half inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) was 108.88, 183.21, and 83.36?g?ml -1 , respectively. 24 hours after treatment with IC 50 of EGCG, GCG and TS, the colony formation rate of SW480 cells in the experimental group was obviously lower than that in the control group. Hoechst 33258 staining showed typical apoptotic features such as cell shrinkage, nuclear condensation and cell splinter in the experimental group. A subdiploid peak before G 0/G 1 phase in the experimental group was observed by flow cytometry. Conclusion In accord with TS, EGCG and GCG could inhibit the growth of colon carcinoma cell line SW480 cells, the mechanism of which may be related to inducing cell apoptosis.

Objective To observe the correlation between vitamin D and liver cirrhosis classification in hepatic diabetes.Methods Thirty-eight patients with hepatic diabetes,48 patients with type 2 diabetes and 30 cases of healthy controls were collected.The level of serum 25-(OH)D3 was determined,and the Child-Pugh score was calculated.The correlation between pathogenesis and pathogenetic condition of hepatic diabetes was analyzed.Results The levels of serum 25-(OH)D3 in hepatic diabetes patients,type 2 diabetes patients and healthy controls were (38.23 ± 12.47),(63.33 ± 13.58) and (86.14 ± 16.25) μ mol/L,and there was statistical difference (P ＜ 0.05).There was negative correlation in hepatic diabetes between serum 25-(OH)D3 level and liver cirrhosis Child-Pugh score (r =-0.363,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Low level of vitamin D may be one of the pathogenesis of hepatic diabetes.

BACKGROUND:The inflammation of osteoarthritis is mediated by chondrocytes and the synovial tissue-secreted cytokines. Articular cartilage and synovial tissue contains a variety of cytokines, which play important regulatory role in the repair of articular cartilage injury.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the relationship between chondrocytes, synovial tissue-secreted cytokines and osteoarthritis, as wel as the effect of chondrocytes and synovial tissue-secreted cytokines on osteoarthritis.
METHODS:A computer-based search was conducted in Wanfang database (www.wanfangdata.com.cn), PubMed database (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.guv/pubmed) by the first author from 2005 to 2010. The key words were“osteoarthritis, degeneration, cartilage tissue, cytokines”. A total of 146 articles were obtained through computer search, then reading the titles and abstracts for initial screen, 86 articles with the unrelated research purposes were eliminated, 40 articles with the repetitive content were excluded, and final y 21 articles related to the effect of various cytokines in the degenerative cartilage and synovial tissue of the osteoarthritis patients were included for further analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The cytokines mainly refers to the activated immune cel s and some stromal cel-secreted non-specific regulate immune responses and inflammatory responses-mediated smal molecule proteins, including lymphokines produced by the lymphocytes, as wel as the single nuclear factor and other cytokines produced by monocytes macrophages. Synovial cel-secreted cytokines may partial y explain the pathological process of osteoarthritis and play an important role in joint inflammation. Although, more and more scholars have pay attention to the effect of synovial cel s and cartilage cel-secreted cytokines, but mainly studies the effect of exogenous cytokines on chondrocytes or synovial cel s, and the effect of endogenous cytokines in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis has not been extensively studied.
