Parenteral & Enteral Nutrition 1997;0(04):-
Objectives: To investigate the effects of the extract mixture of alfalfa and perilla on lowering serum lipid, protecting liver and aortic wall in rats. Methods: Sixty SD rats were divided into six groups and were fed different diet. After seven or fourteen days, the rats were put to death and measured for serum lipids, cholesterol content of liver and aortic wall, and pathological change of the tissue. Results: There was a significant increase of serum TC, LDL-C, cholesterol content of liver and aortic wall in the high-fat fed rats. Under light microscope, there were lipid droplets and cholesterol crystal in liver of group high-fat. Compared with the group high-fat, the rats had a significant decrease of those measurements in serum or in tissue in the alfalfa and perilla group. Conclusions: The extract mixture of alfalfa and perilla could prevent the increase of serum TC, LDL-C, cholesterol content of liver and aortic wall in high-fat fed rats, and also prevent the fatty infiltration and cholesterol deposit of liver.

Acta Anatomica Sinica 1955;0(03):-
Five inner ears were removed from five rabbits under aneasthesia. The hard, thick bones of outer and middle ears were trimmed off, and the auditory ossicles were taken away. The cochleae were fixed with 2% glutaraldehyde in phosphate buffer for eight hours, then they were decalcified in 10% EDTA-2Na solution for ten days, and the softened shells of the cochleae were stripped off, and post-fixed in 1% OsO_4 for an hour, dried at critical point, coated with gold, and observed under SEM.The rabbit cochlea shows two and a half turns, the modiolus is about 3.5mm high, and the organ of Corti lies on the basilar membrane of the spiral lamina. The outer hair cells usually form three parallel rows on the middle and basal turns but occasionally four rows on the top half turn. The inner hair cells form only a single row. Every bunch of the outer hairs consists of about 93-114 stereocilia which together show a "W" shape. Every bunch of inner hairs has about 50 cilia which together show an arch shape. The cilia on the top turn are longer than those on the base. The length and width of the inner and outer hair cells and four other kinds of cells were measured according to photos, and the numbers of these kinds of cells were estimated.Other three cochleae fixed at the time of 1, 2 or 4 hours after death were also observed. In the cochlea fixed four hours after death, the majority of the auditory hairs were found fallen down, which means the fixation of cochlea should be carried out within less than four hours after death.Some of the structural similarities and differences of cochleae among rabbit,human being and guinea pig were also compared in this paper.

Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture plus electromyographic biofeedback therapy (EMGBFT) on the nerve function, activities of daily life (ADL), biochemical indexes, and lower-limb function in cerebral stroke patients. Method Totally 102 cerebral stroke patients in recovery stage were recruited and allocated to an observation group and a control group by using the random number table, 51 cases in each group. The two groups were both given conventional treatment, based on which, the control group was given EMGBFT, while the observation group was given acupuncture plus EMGBFT. The treatment duration was 8 weeks in both groups. The changes of National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), ADL, endothelin 1 (ET-1), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), and Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) of the lower-limb motor function were compared. Result The NIHSS scores dropped and ADL scores increased significantly in the two groups after the intervention (P<0.05);after the intervention, the NIHSS score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group and the ADL score was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05);in the observation group, the plasma ET-1 level decreased significantly and CGRP level increased significantly after the intervention (P<0.05);after the treatment, the plasma ET-1 level in the observation group was lower than that in the control group and the CGRP level was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05);the FMA scores increased markedly in both groups after the intervention (P<0.05);the FMA score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group after the treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture plus EMGBFT can significantly improve the nerve function and ADL, promote the recovery of lower-limb function, down-regulate the ET-1 level, and up-regulate the CGRP level in cerebral stroke patients.
