Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine in Intensive and Critical Care 2017;24(4):346-350
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of acupuncture combined with Vitalstim electric stimulation therapy for treatment of patients with dysphagia after ischemic stroke.Methods Ninety-two patients with dysphagia after ischemic stroke in accord with the criteria of enrollment in this study were admitted to the Department of Acupuncture of the First Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin Traditional Chinese Medicine University from May 2014 to November 2016, and they were divided into a control group and an observation group by random number table, 46 cases in each group. Both groups were treated with stroke conventional drug therapy and feeding swallowing rehabilitation training, in addition, Vitalstim swallowing therapeutic electrical stimulation therapy was used in the control group, and acupuncture combined with Vitalstim stimulation were applied in observation group. The changes of swallowing ability score, video fluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) score and adverse reactions were observed before and after treatment in the two groups, and the curative effect of combined method was evaluated.Results Compared with those before treatment, the swallowing ability and VFSS score of two groups after treatment were obviously higher, and the degrees of changesin observation group were more significant than those in control group (swallowing score: 8.12±1.13 vs. 7.45±1.04, VFSS score: 7.97±1.05 vs. 5.67±0.88, allP < 0.05); the total efficiency in the observation group was markedly higher than that in the control group [95.7% (44/46) vs. 78.3%(36/46)], the adverse reactions (wrong aspiration, pulmonary infection) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group [10.9% (5/46) vs. 28.3% (13/46)], and there were statistically significant differences between the two groups (bothP < 0.05).Conclusions Acupuncture combined with Vitalstim electric stimulation therapy can improve the swallowing ability in patients with dysphagia after ischemic stroke, and the therapy has less adverse reactions; compared with the simple Vitalstim electric stimulation therapy, in the aspect of improving swallowing ability, the therapeutic effect of combined therapy is more significant.

Objective To investigate the autonomic modulation and influence during myocardial ischemia based on analysis on heart rate dynamics with heart rate variability(HRV). Methods From 13 free download ECG records in long-term ST-T(LTST)database, 193 ischemia episodes were extracted for analysis, and 5 min intervals before and after each selected isehemia episode were selected as control ones. Using symbolic dynamic analysis method, the indexes during different stages were calculated. The repeated measurement analysis of variance was introduced for statistic test. And the distribution of autonomic reflex mode to isehemia duration was analyzed by linear fitting. Results Symbolic analysis detected an increase in the percentage of non-varlable patterns (0 V%) and a decrease in the percentage of very variable patterns(2 UV%), indicating a more sympathetic predominance compared with the baseline. But the trend of the shift in autonomic balance towards sympathetic predominance reduced with the extension of ischemic duration, suggesting a possible protection for heart. Conclusion Symbolic dynamic analysis is capable of identifying changes in autonomic modulation and seems appropriate for elucidating the neural pathophysiological mechanisms occurring in myocardial ischemic episodes.

Objective To investigate the effects of ischemic postconditioning on mitochondrial permeability transition and mitochondrial transmembrane potential(△Ψm)following hepatic ischemia-reperfusion(I/R)in rats.Methods Forty male SD rats weighing 220-260 g were randomly divided into 5 groups with 8 animals in each group:sham operation group(group S);atractyloside+sham operation group(group A+S);I/R group;ischemic postconditioning group(group IPO)and atractyloside+ischemic postconditioning group(group A+IPO).The animals were anesthetized with intramuscular injection of atropine 0.05 mg/kg.Hepatic I/R was produced by occlusion of hepatic blood flow for 60 min followed by 6 h reperfusion.In group A+S,atractyloside 5 mg/kg was injected intravenously before abdomen Was closed.In group IPO,the animals were subjected to 3 cycles of 1 min reperfusion interspersed with 1 min hepatic isehemia at the end of 60 min hepatic ischemia.In group A+IPO,atractyloside 5 mg/kg was injected intravenously before reperfusion. Venous blood samples were collected for determination of serum ALT and AST activities immediately before ischemia and at 6 h of reperfusion. The animals were then sacrificed.Their livers were removed for microscopic examination, detection of apoptosis and determination of cytochrome c (Cyt c) expression, △Ψm and mitochonerial permeability transition pore (MPTP)activity. Apoptosis index (AI) was calculated. Results There was no significant difference in serum ALT and AST activities, AI, Cyt c expression, △Ψm and MPTP activity between S and A + S groups (P>0.05). Compared with group S, serum ALT and AST activities and AI were significantly increased, Cyt c expression was up-regulated, △Ψm was decreased and MPTP activity was increased in groups I/R, IPO and A+IPO(P<0.05).Compared with group I/R, serum ALT and AST activities and AI were significantly decreased,Cyt c expression was down-regulated, △Ψm was increased and MPTP activity was decreased in group IPO(P<0.05), while no significant change was found in group A+IPO(P>0.05).Compared with group IPO,serum ALT and AST activities and AI were significantly increased, Cyt c expression was up-regulated, △Ψm was decreased and MPTP activity was increased in group A + IPO(P< 0.05).Microscopic examination showed that hepatic injury was reduced in group IPO compared with group I/R, while aggravated in group A+ IPO compared with group IPO. Conclusion Ischemic postconditioning can protect liver from I/R injury by attenuating the I/R-induced increase in MPTP opening and decrease in △Ψm in rats.
