Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of bamboo-circled salt-partitioned moxibustion in treating arthritis of temporomandibular joint.Method Eighty patients were randomized into two groups. Forty cases in the bamboo-circled salt-partitioned moxibustion group received bamboo-circled salt-partitioned moxibustion at temporomandibular joint; forty cases in the warm needling group were intervened by selecting Xiaguan (ST7), Ashi point, etc. at the affected side. For the two groups, 3-day treatment was taken as a treatment course, and the therapeutic efficacy was analyzed after 2 treatment courses. The improvements in pain and mouth opening were observed before and after the treatment, and the treatment efficacy was evaluated by a 1-month follow-up study.Result The bamboo-circled salt-partitioned moxibustion group was superior to the warm needling group in comparing the real-time analgesic effect (P<0.05) and in the improvement of mouth opening (P<0.05); the comprehensive markedly effective rate was respectively 67.5% and 45.0% in the bamboo-circled salt-partitioned moxibustion group and warm needling group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), indicating that bamboo-circled salt-partitioned moxibustion is better than warm needling in treating arthritis of temporomandibular joint; the follow-up study revealed satisfactory therapeutic efficacies in both groups: the effective rate was 92.5% in the bamboo-circled salt-partitioned moxibustion group versus 87.5% in the warm needling group, and the difference was statistically insignificant (P>0.05).Conclusion Bamboo-circled salt-partitioned moxibustion can produce a real-time analgesic effect and improve mouth opening; it's especially suitable to treat the patients who are afraid of needling, as it's significantly effective, safe, non-invasive,and easy-to-operate.

Objective To evaluate the effect of trimetazidine pretreatment on myocardial injury induced by propofol in rats.Methods Forty healthy Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 240-250 g,aged 2.5 months,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =10 each):fat emulsion group (group L),propofol group (group P),and different doses of trimetazidine groups (TL and TH groups).In group L,10％ fat emulsion was infused intravenously for 12 h at a rate of 30 mg·kg-1 ·h-1.In group P,1％ propofol was infused intravenously for 12 h at a rate of 30 mg·kg-1 ·h-1.In TL and TH groups,trimetazidine 2 and 5 mg/kg were injected intravenously,respectively,and 1.5 h later propofol was infused intravenously for 12 h at a rate of 30 mg·kg-1 ·h-1.At 6 and 12 h after beginning of administration,blood samples from the internal jugular vein were taken for determination of the levels of serum creatine kinase (CK),creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB (CK-MB),lactate dehydrogenase (LDH),α-hydroxybutyric acid dehydrogenase (α-HBDH),cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnⅠ),triglycerides (TG),low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL).After blood sampling at 12 h after beginning of administration,myocardial specimens were obtained for microscopic examination of the pathological changes with light and electron microscope.Results Compared with group L,the serum CK,CK-MB,LDH,α-HBDH,cTnⅠ and TG levels were significantly increased,HDL was decreased,and no significant changes were found in LDL concentrations in P and TL groups,and the serum TG,HDL and LDL were increased,and no significant changes were found in the other parameters in group TH.Compared with group P,the serum CK,CK-MB,LDH,α-HBDH,and cTnⅠ levels were significantly decreased in TL and TH groups,the serum TG level was increased in TL group,and the serum TG,HDL and LDL levels were increased in TH group.Compared with group TL,the serum CK,CK-MB,LDH,α-HBDH and cTnⅠ levels were significantly decreased,and the serum TG,HDL and LDL levels were increased in group TH.Conclusion Trimetazidine pretreatment can attenuate myocardial injury induced by propofol,but it induces increase in blood lipids.

Objective To explore the function of infliximab in inducing remission in Crohn's disease and the effect of the inducing remission were followed up. Methods Ten patients with Crohn's disease received a infliximab, 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) and Azathioprine (AZA) therapy for inducing and maintenance remission. Crohn' s disease activity index (CDAI), C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), apartate aminotransferase, (AST), total bilirubin (TBil), conjugated bilirubin, (CB), creatinine (Scr) were evaluated at week 0, 10, 22 and 50. Simple endoscopic score for Crohn's disease (SES-CD) were evaluated at week 0, 10 and 50. Adverse reactions were also evaluated. Results At week 10, all patients achieved remission. The indicators of CDAI, CRP, ESR and SES-CD were significantly declined than those at week 0 (P＜0.01). The follow-up was terminated in one patient due to the relapse at week 30. At week 50, the indicators of CDAI, CRP, ESR and SES-CD in six patients a little bit increased compared with those at week 10, but no statistic significant (P=0. 2001、0. 0600、0. 1328、0. 4230 respectively), but significantly declined compared with those at week 0 (P =0.0005、0.0087、0.0054、0. 0163 respectively). No severe adverse reaction was observed in all patients.Conclusions Infliximab showed an exact efficacy in inducing remission in Crohn's disease. And 5-ASA and AZA were effective for maintenance remission in part of the patients after infliximab induced remission.

Objective To observe the role of preoperative lung function test in predicting the risk of postoperation pulmonary complications in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) accepting non chest operations. Methods 80 patients accepting non-invasive chest operations during Oct 2006 to May 2013 in the third affiliated hospital of SYSU were studied retrospectively. All the patients accepted lung function test 1 week before operation. Based on the lung function records, patients were divided into 2 groups. 40 of them in COPD group, 40 in control group. The incidence rate of postoperation pulmonary complications in different group and the relationship between the severity of lung function decreasing and the rate of postoperation pulmonary complications were investigated. The differences of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status Classification, body mass index, smoking index, length of stay, hospitalization costs between the 2 groups were also studied. Results The incidence rate of postoperation pulmonary disease in COPD group was 30% (12/40) while the rate in control group was 12.5% (5/40), the statistic difference was significant (P = 0.046). There was remarkable relationship between the severity of lung function decreasing and the rate of postoperation pulmonary complications(P=0.005), patients with mild to moderate lung function decreasing would be safer in operation, but patients with severe lung function decreasing would be in high risk(r=-0.451). Patients in COPD group were older than the control group, but there were no significant difference on body mass index, smoking index, length of stay, hospitalization costs between the 2 groups (P > 0.05). There was no relationship between ASA physical status classification and postoperation pulmonary complications. Conclusion Incidence of postoperation pulmonary complications in patients with COPD is high, which mainly manifests as pneumonia. It was important to test the lung function before non-invasive chest operations, especially in patients with COPD(P>0.05).

Aim To observe the effect of antibody NCX-3F10 on the main ion current of rat ventricular myocytes and its effect on arrhythmias induced by ischemia/reperfusion(I/R).Methods ① The whole-cell patch clamp technique was employed to record the Na+/Ca2+ exchange current(INa/Ca) and other major ion currents in rat ventricular myocytes.② The rat models of arrhythmia induced by ischemia/reperfusion were established by ligating the left coronary artery to in vivo and in vitro.Then the effects of antibody on the arrhythmia were observed.③ The IonOptix ion imaging system was used to observe the effect of antibody on calcium transients in single ventricular myocytes.Results ① The antibody NCX-3F10 dose-dependently inhibited INa/Ca from 5 to 40 mg·L-1.The IC50 for outward and inward currents was 11.15 and 11.69 mg·L-1, and the maximum inhibitory rates were 61% and 62%, respectively.The antibody also had an inhibitory effect on calcium current(ICa-L), and had no significant effect on inward rectifier potassium current(IK1), transient outward potassium current(Ito) and sodium current(INa).② In the isolated rat heart group I/R, 100% rats showed ventricular tachycardia, and 88.89% rats had ventricular fibrillation.After administration of antibody NCX-3F10(10 mg·L-1) 5 min before reperfusion, the incidence of ventricular tachycardia decreased to 44.43%(P<0.05), and the duration of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation was also shortened remarkably(P<0.05).③ In the anesthetized rats after administration of antibody NCX-3F10(50 μg·kg-1) 5 min before reperfusion, the incidence and duration of ventricular tachycardia,the incidence and duration of ventricular fibrillation, and total number of ventricular premature beats were significantly decreased(P<0.05).④ From 5 to 40 mg·L-1, NCX-3F10 antibody decreased calcium transient amplitude in rat single ventricular myocytes dose-dependently(P<0.05).Conclusions The NCX-3F10 antibody shows significant arrhythmic effects on ischemia-reperfusion induced arrhythmia in rats both in vitro and in vivo, the underlying mechanism of which is related to NCX and L-type calcium current inhibition and calcium overload reduction by the NCX antibody.

AIM: To investigate the effect of zacopride, an inward rectifier potassium channel agonist, on ouabain-induced arrhythmias in adult rats, and to explore the underlying electrophysiological mechanism.METHODS: Using ouabain to establish in vitro and in vivo arrhythmic rat models, the effects of zacopride on ouabain-induced arrhythmias were observed.The technique of whole-cell patch clamp was used to observe the effects of zacopride on inward rectifier potassium current (IK1), resting membrane potential (RMP) and delayed afterdepolarizations (DADs) in single rat ventricular myocyte.RESULTS: Zacopride at 1 μmol/L significantly reduced total number of premature ventricular beats, and the duration and incidence of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation induced by ouabain in rat hearts in vitro (P<0.05).In anesthetized rats, zacopride at 15 μg/kg significantly reduced total number of premature ventricular beats, and the duration and incidence of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation induced by ouabain (P<0.05).IK1 was significantly inhibited by ouabain (P<0.05), which was partially and even completely reversed by zacopride at 0.1~10 μmol/L.RMP value was significantly reduced by ouabain (P<0.05), and then increased to different levels after treatment with zacopride (0.1~10 μmol/L).Zacopride at 1 μmol/L showed its maximal effect and RMP was restored to normal level.Moreover, zacopride at 1 μmol/L markedly suppressed ouabain-induced DADs in single rat ventricular myocyte.The incidence of DADs decreased from 91.67% to 12.50% after zacopride was applied (P<0.05), and this effect was abolished by 1 μmol/L BaCl2.CONCLUSION: Inward rectifier potassium channel agonist zacopride significantly inhibits ouabain-induced ventricular arrhythmias in adult rats.The mechanism is related to increased RMP level and inhibition of DADs by activation of IK1 channel.

Objective To explore the application potential of forced expiratory volume in three second/forced vital capacity (FEV3/FVC) in early lung diseases,such as early airway obstruction and mild gas trap.Methods A total of 288 patients (excluding those with restrictive ventilation dysfunction) who underwent pulmonary function examination in the pulmonary function room of our hospital from January 2014 to October 2017 were collected.288 patients were divided into three groups.Group A:FEV3/FVC and forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) were normal;Group B:FEV3/FVC decreased alone;Group C:FEV1/FVC decreased.The general data and pulmonary function indexes of the three groups were compared.Results Compared with group A,group B had lower FEV1 ％ and diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide of the lung (DLCO％),but higher total lung capacity (TLC％),residual volume (RV％) and RV/TLC.Compared with group B,group C had higher TLC ％,RV％,RV/TLC％,while FEV1％,DLCO％ reduce more remarkably.There were significant differences in the three groups of small airway function (P ≤ 0.01).FEV3/FVC was positively correlated with max expiratory at 50％ FVC (MEF50％),max expiratory at 75％ FVC (MEF25％) and maximal mid expiratory flow (MMEF％).The correlation coefficients were respectively 0.613,0.610,0.608 (P ≤0.01).When FEV3/FVC serves as an indicator to determine airway obstruction,the specificity of it is 45.7％,sensitivity 98.5％,and negative predictive value 99％,positive predictive value 35.5％.Conclusions FEV3/FVC individual decline is the indication of early lung diseases such as mild airway obstruction,mild gas trap and diffuse disorder.
