Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2004;2(3):20-21
Thirty cases of rheumatoid arthritis were treated by the needle-warming method on bilateral Shenshu (BL 23), Zusanli (ST 36) and Quchi (LI 11), in combination with oral administration of Chinese herbal drugs, and 30 cases were treated by routine western medications for comparison.After treatment for three months, the effective rate was respectively 86.7% and 60.0% in the two groups and the difference of the therapeutic effect was statistically significant (P<0.05).
2.Autologous stem cells transplantation in the treatment of critical limb ischemia
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2013;(49):8602-8607
BACKGROUND:Critical limb ischemia is difficult to be treated among the peripheral arterial occlusive diseases, and the application of transplanting autologous stem cells can bring a hope for the treatment of this disease.
OBJECTIVE: To review the autologous stem cells transplantation in the treatment of critical limb ischemia at present, and to study the mechanism and the existing problems.
METHODS:A computer retrieval of PubMed database, Wanfang database, and CNKI database was conducted to search the related articles with the keywords of“stem cell, transplant, critical limb ischemia”in English and Chinese. Final y, 47 articles were included in final analysis according to the inclusion criteria.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Autologous stem cells transplantation for treatment of lower extremity ischemic disease is a latest and significantly effective treatment, but the mechanism is unclear and stil needs further study.

Objective To investigated the neuroprotective effect of PTEN inhibitor BPV on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats and its mechanism. Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used to induce a reperfusion model of middle cerebral artery occlusion for 1 h. During the reperfusion, the BPV solution (0. 2 mg/kg daily) or the equal volume of saline was injected intraperitonealy immediately. The neurological deficit scores were conducted at day 1, 3,5, and 7 after ischemia-reperfusion. At day 4, triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining was used to assess cerebral infarction volume. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the levels of interleukin 10 (IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α) in cortical ischemic border zones. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expression level of PTEN mRNA. Western blotting was used to detect the expression levels of PI3K, Akt, and p-GSK-3β. At day 7, Bielschowsky silver staining was used to detect the axonal distribution in the ischemic border zone of the striatum. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of myelin basic protein (MBP). Results At day 4 after ischemia-reperfusion, the infarct volume (32. 27% ± 1. 71% vs. 45. 49% ± 2. 12% ; P < 0. 001), TNF-α concentration in the cortical ischemic border zones (134. 17 ± 10. 38 pg/ml vs. 264. 17 ± 24. 84 pg/ml; P < ), and PTEN mRNA level (1. 19 ± 0. 08 vs. 2. 50 ± 0. 06; P < 0. 001) in the rats of the BPV group were al significantly lower than those of the normal saline group. The IL-10 concentration (186. 83 ± 10. 83 pg/ml vs. 147. 83 ± 11. 62 pg/ml; P < 0. 001), and the expression levels of PI3K (0. 43 ± 0. 08 vs. 0. 26 ± 0. 06; P = 0. 004), Akt (0. 52 ± 0. 05 vs. 0. 40 ± 0. 04;P = 0. 001), and p-GSK-3β (0. 75 ± 0. 08 vs. 0. 38 ± 0. 06; P < 0. 001) were al significantly higher than those of the normal saline group. At day 7 after ischemia-reperfusion, the neurological deficit score (4. 83 ± 0. 41 vs. 6. 33 ± 0. 52; P < 0. 001) in the rats of the BPV group was significantly lower than that of the normal saline group. The axon densities in the ischemic border zones (35. 51% ± 2. 45% vs. 25. 31% ± 2. 79% ; P < 0. 001) and the expression level of MBP (32. 56% ± 3. 46% vs. 27. 81% ± 4. 18% ; P = 0. 037) were significantly higher than those of the normal saline group. Conclusions BPV has neuroprotective effect for cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. Its mechanism may be associated with the up-regulation of PTEN downstream proteins PI3K, Akt and p-GSK-3β expression to regulate inflammatory mediators and reduce the inflammatory response.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role of clinical pharmacists in anti-infective treatment for the patient with septic shock. METHODS:Clinical pharmacists participated in anti-infective treatment for a patient with septic shock,assisted physicians to formulate individual regimen based on empirical anti-infective treatment,ESBLs producing Escherichia coli and anti-fungal treat-ment. Clinical pharmacists suggested using Itraconazole injection 200 mg,ivgtt,qd,for anti-fungal treatment;Itraconazole cap-sules 200 mg,po,bid,instead of fusidinic for anti-fungal treatment;meropenem 0.5 g,ivgtt,q6 h,for anti-infective treatment. RESULTS:Physicians adopted the suggestion of clinical pharmacists;the infection had been controlled after 16 d treatment and then the patient discharged from the hospital. CONCLUSIONS:Clinical pharmacists participate in clinical treatment,and assist phy-sicians to make a decision and formulate individual regimen,so as to promote rational drug use.

Objective To investigate the effect of calcium channel antagonist verapamil upon coronary vessel disease of allograft heart transplant rat model.Methods 160 SD rats weighing 220 to 300 g were randomly allocated to control group (group 1, n=40) and experiment groups (group 2, n=40; group 3, n=40, group 4, n=40). The hearts of all donor rats were implanted into the recipient rats. From the day after operation, the rats in each group were fed routinely and injected intraperitoneally (ip) with Cyclosporin (5 mg?kg~ -1?d~ -1 for 10 days). In experiment groups, the rats were individually injected (ip) with verapamil by 0.1 mg/kg,0.5 mg/kg,1.0 mg/kg twice every day for 3 months, but the rats in control group were not subjected to injection. At 60th and 90th day after grafting, 10 of each group were selected randomly and transplanted hearts were cut. The specimens were stained with HE and histochemistry.Result The degree of intimal hyperplasia in the control group was more severe than in the experiment groups.Conclusion Calcium channel antagonist verapamil can effectively inhibit the intimal hyperplasia of coronary arteries in heart transplant model.
