International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2014;(4):318-320
Objective To Observe the effects of treating primary trigeminal neuralgia with modified Shaoyao-Gancao decoction and carbamazepine. Methods 76 patients with primary trigeminal neuralgia were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, 38 patients in each. The treatment group was treated with modified Shaoyao-Gancao decoction and carbamazepine; and the control group was treated with carbamazepine only. Clinical curative effect, pain improvements and adverse reactions were observed after the treatment and 6 week follow-up. Results The total effective rate was 89.3%and 75.5%in the treatment group and the control group respectively, the difference was statistically significant(P=0.043). The onset frequency, duration, degree of pain were all improved in both groups after the treatment and 6 week follow-up[treatment group after the treatment is (0.54±0.78), (2.15±1.73), (1.58±1.26), 6 week follow-up is (0.24±0.63), (1.36±1.03),0.86±1.95);control group after the treatment is (1.98±1.68), (3.96±1.49), (3.02±1.45), 6 week follow-up is (1.06±1.78), (1.97±1.69), (2.13±1.54), P<0.05],and the treatment group was better than the control group(P=0.040 and 0.039 respectively). Conclusion Modified Shaoyao-Gancao decoction combined carbamazepine has good clinical curative effect in treating primary trigeminal neuralgia.

Objective To investigate the correlation between Framingham stroke risk profile(FSRP) and vascular cognitive impairment in stroke-free patients with cerebrovascular risk factors.Methods One hundred and eighty-four stroke-free subjects,selected from Zhejiang hospital,were divided into low risk group (56 subjects),moderate risk group (70 subjects) and high risk group (58 subjects) according to their FSRP score,and their cognitive function including memory ability,attention,executive function and language ability were assessed by Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA),auditory verbal learning test (AVLT),digit symbol test,trail making test(TMT),digit span and verbal fluency test.Results The total MoCA scores which were (7.2±4.6),(13.8±3.9),(29.6± 12.7) respectively,AVLT-delay recall scores which were(8.2± 1.6),(6.7± 1.4),(5.9± 1.5) respectively,and digit symbol test score which were(34.7±9.3),(32.6± 16.4),(29.7± 13.6) respectively in low,intermediate and high risk groups,decreased with the increasing risk of stroke(P<0.05).The elapsed time in TMT-B which were (115.2 ±36.9) s,(147.6±44.8) s,(173.9±58.5) s respectively in low,intermediate and high risk groups,prolonged with the increasing risk of stroke (P<0.05).FSRP was associated with cognitive function,but inversely related to MoCA,AVLT-delay recall,digit symbol test,TMT-B and digit span fall back (P<0.05),but positively related to consuming time in TMT-B (P< 0.05).Multivariate regression analysis showed that advanced age,hypertension,diabetes and smoking were the risk factors for vascular cognitive impairment(P<0.05).Conclusion Advanced age,smoking,hypertension and diabetes are the most important in vascular risk factors for cognitive impairment.Vascular risk factors can damage cognitive function with the increased risk of stroke,among which delayed recall and executive function are the main affected cognitive area.

Inthis study, the DNA fragment encoding the regions Ⅰ to Ⅱ of CSP gene from Plasmodium falciparm isolate FCC1/HN was cloned into an. expression vector pcDNA3 contained cytomegalovius (CMV) and transformed into human Hela cell line. The expressed protein PfCSP (condidate vaccine) was used to immunize BALB/c mice by subcutaneous、 intravenous or intraperitoneal administration respectively. The splenocyte of BALB/c mice immumized with the condidate vaccine released significantly IL-2 and IFN-γ following stimulation with this vaccine. It is associated with increase of the splenic T lymphocyte proliferation stimulated by this vaccine and enhancement of NK cell killing activity in the former studies. These results suggested that the vaccine could stimulate T cell response and enhance the cell-mediated immunity.

An alternative method based on an off-line solid phase extraction ( SPE ) combined with programmable temperature vaporizer-based ( PTV) large volume injection-gas chromatography-flame ionization detection ( LVI-GC-FID ) was developed. The goal of this study was to determine mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons ( MOSH ) in camellia seed oils. The purification condition of SPE columns with silver impregnated the activated silica gel and activated aluminum oxide was optimized. The optimal SPE cartridge was loaded with 10 g of Ag-activated silica gel per 10 g of activated aluminum oxide. The PTV initial temperature was set at 75℃ for 1 min (split 200:1), and heated from 75℃ to 370℃ at 250℃/min. Then the diverter valve was closed for 1 min and opened again with the split flow ratio changing to 50:1 . The injection volume was 40μL. The calibration curve of paraffin oil was liner in the range of 5-500 mg/kg with correlation coefficient of 0. 998. The detection limit (LOD) and the quantification limit (LOQ) of paraffin oils in hexane were 0. 26 mg/kg and 0. 80 mg/kg, respectively. The recoveries from spiked oil samples were between 93 . 3% and 112 . 7%, with relative standard deviation ( RSD ) of 1 . 8%-5 . 2%, the RSD of intra-day and inter-day were less than 2 . 6% . This procedure was applied to analyze the MOSH in 11 commercial camellia seed oils and the contamination was found to range from 6. 8 mg/kg to 76. 7 mg/kg. The method is simple in operation with high sensitivity, good reproducibility and low cost, and suitable for determination of MOSH in vegetable oils.

Objective To construct a eukaryotic expression system with pcDNA3-PfCSP/Hela for the Circumsporozoite protein (CSP) gene of Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum), to observe the immune responses in BALB/c mice induced by the expressed proteins. Methods The recombinant plasmid pcDNA3-PfCSP was transformed into the Hela cell line. The expressed protein was isolated and analyzed by using SDS-PAGE and used for immunization of BALB/c mice by subcutaneous, intravenous, and intraperitoneal adminstration. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), Dot-ELISA, Western blot, T lymphocyte proliferation test, natural killer cell(NKC) activity assay, and CD4+ and CD8+ T cell detection were used for observation of humoral and cellular immune responses. Results Immune sera strongly reacted with the expressed protein, antibody titer was up to 1∶6400 as detected by ELISA. Western blot analysis revealed a specific band at 38.3?Kda. When the spleen cells of normal and immunized BALB/c mice were specifically stimulated with expressed protein, the optical densities were 0.12±0.03 and 0.34±0.04, respectively. The latter were significantly higher than the former (P<0.01). We used the MTT colorimetric assay to measure NKC activity of mice spleen. The results showed that the NKC activity of immunized BALB/c mice was remarkably higher than that of the controls (P<0.05). CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were detected by using monoclonal antibody immunofluorescence methods. The results showed that the percentage of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells of immunized group were significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05). Conclusions The humoral and cell-mediated immune responses and elevated NKC activity to products made with a eukaryotic expression system could be specifically detected in BALB/c mice. These findings indicate that the expressed protein could enhance the immune function in mice.

AIM: To establish hybrid mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell line from blastocysts of the (C57BL/6J × 129/J) F1 mouse. METHODS: 3.5 days post- coitus (d.p.c.) blastocysts were cultured on mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) in the medium, after 3 - 4 days, Inner cell mass were picked up and disaggregated, then reseeded. After the ES - like colonies appeared, passaged them to give permanent ES cell lines. The pluripotent propertes of ES cells obtained were analyzed by alkaline phosphatase (AKP) activity, expression of SSEA- 1 and Oct-4, and their capacity to form teratoma. RESULTS: Two hybrid ES cell lines, SC1001, SC1002 were obtained from blastocysts of the (C57BL/6J × 129/J) F1 genotype. Most of these ES cells had a normal karyotype and an XY sex chromosome composition. The pluripotent properties of the cell lines were analyzed on the basis of their alkaline phosphatase activity, expression of SSEA - 1 and Oct - 4, and their capacity to form teratoma in severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice. CONCLUSION: Two hybrid mouse ES cell lines having pluripotent properties and capacity for long - term self renewal were generated from blastocysts of the ( C57BL/6J × 129/J) F1 genotype.
