[Objective] To explore the anti-inflammatory effects of emodin and its therapeutic effect on acute lung injury. [Methods] By means of analyzing the relevant literatures in PUBMED,CNKI,CBM,Wanfang and Vip Da-tabase from 1998 to 2012,summarized the anti-inflammatory effects and mecha-nisms of emodin, as wel as its therapeutic effect on acute lung injury. [Results] A variety of studies have confirmed the anti-inflammatory effects of emodin, whose mechanism is related to emodin inhibiting the activation of NF-kappa B,modulaing various inflammatory factors, etc. In addition, the effect of emodin in the treatment of acute lung injury has been confirmed on celland animal levels. [Conclusion] Emodin has good prospect of clinical application.

Objective To explore the impacts of leukoaraiosls (LA) on the short-term outcome of acute cerebral infarction. Methods 204 patients after acute cerebral infarction were reviewed from January 2012 to August 2014. They were divided into 4 groups according to the brain magnetic resonance imaging: cerebral infarction without LA (LA-0), and with LA (LA-1, LA-2 and LA-3). The Logistic regression analysis was applied with the short-term outcome of cerebral infarction as the dependent variable, and 16 possible factor as independent variables. Results There were 4 independent factors risk to the worse outcome of acute cerebral infarction, including LA, age, hypertension and cerebral infarction size (OR>1, P<0.05). Conclusion LA is an independent risk factors to the worse short-term outcome of acute cerebral infarction.

OBJECTIVETo identify endophytic fungi bn12 from Cinnamomum camphora chvar, borneol and analysis its volatile metabolites.

METHODThe endophytic fungi bn12 was identified by morphological observation. volatile metabolites of endophytic fungi bn12 was analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrography (GC-MS).

RESULTVolatile metabolites of endophytic fungi bn12 contain borneol and much indoles. The ITS sequence of endophytic fungi bnl2 is most similar to the ITS sequence of pleosporaceae fungus, particularly C. nisikadoi.

CONCLUSIONEndophytic fungi bn12 is belong to pleosporaceae fungus. It has the ability of producing broneol.

ObjectiveTo study the influence of Yiqi Huoxue Tongluo Fang (Qi-Replenishing Blood-Activating Collateral-freeing Decoction) on signal pathway of c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and inflammatory factors in mice with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (db/db mice),and discuss its mechanism in protecting peripheral nerve.Methods The db/db mice (n =40) were randomly divided into 5 groups:model group,lipoic acid group,high-dose Yiqi Huoxue Tongluo Fang group (6.4 g/kg,high-dose group),mid-dose Yiqi Huoxue Tongluo Fang group (3.2 g/kg,mid-dose group) and low-dose Yiqi Huoxue Tongluo Fang group (1.6 g/kg,low-dose group),and other db/m mice (n =8) were chosen into normal group.All groups were intragastrically given corresponding drugs once a day for 8 weeks.After the last administration of drugs,the plantar thermal response time and motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) were detected.The levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The protein expressions of JNK and phosphorylase JNK (p-JNK) in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) were detected by using Western blot method.Results Compared with normal group,MNCV was slower,plantar thermal response time was longer,levels of IL-1β and TNF-α increased,and protein expressions of JNK and pJNK are stronger in model group (P ＜ 0.01 or P ＜ 0.05).Compared with model group,Yiqi Huoxue Tongluo Fang promoted MNCV,shortened plantar thermal response time,decreased levels of IL-1 β and TNF-α and down-regulated protein expressions of JNK and p-JNK to some extent (P ＜ 0.01 or P ＜0.05).ConclusionYiqi Huoxue Tongluo Fang can inhibit the abnormal activation of JNK signal pathway and relieve inflammatory reaction to protect peripheral nerve in db/db mice.

Objective:To explore the effects of visual feedback training based on the mirror neuron theory in upper limb function reconstruction in stroke patients.Methods:From June 2017 to June 2018, totally 61 stroke patients hospitalized in the Rehabilitation Medical Center of the Second Hospital of Jiaxing were selected by convenient sampling and divided into the observation group ( n=31) and the control group ( n=30) according to the random number table. Patients in both groups received routine rehabilitation therapy, while patients in the observation group underwent visual feedback training on this basis. They were evaluated using Barthel Index , Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) (upper limb) , and the latency and amplitude of N9 and N20 were detected using somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) before and 8 weeks after rehabilitation intervention. Results:After the intervention, the FMA score of the upper limbs in the observation group was (47.91±6.92) , higher than (40.31±7.87) in the control group, the Barthel Index of the observation group was (77.33±11.82) , higher than (66.79±12.31) in the control group, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . The SEP values of the upper limbs of the hemiplegia side in the observation group were better than those in the control group, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The visual feedback training based on the mirror neuron theory can improve the upper limb motor function in stroke patients with early hemiplegia, improve their daily living activities, increase the N9 and N20 amplitudes of SEP, shorten their latency, and enhance the excitement of the upper limb movement related brain area in the mirror neuron system.
