OBJECTIVETo observe therapeutic effect of acupoint embedding thread therapy on ulcerative colitis and to study the mechanism.
METHODSThe rat model of ulcerative colitis was developed with 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene method. The 20th day after the end of model development, they were randomly divided into a model group, a salicylazosulfapyridine (SASP) treatment group and an acupoint embedding thread therapy group. The SASP treatment group were treated with intragastrical perfusion of 4.5% SASP suspension, and the acupoint embedding thread therapy group were treated with embedding thread at "Zusanli" (ST 36) and "Shangjuxu" (ST 37). Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) was detected with indirect immunofluorescence, and the pathological changes were investigated with pathological tissue section technique.
RESULTSThe positive rate of ANCA reached to 62.5% in the rat with ulcerative colitis with significant differences among the 3 groups. After treatment, the positive rate of ANCA was decreased in the two treatment groups (P < 0.05, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONAcupoint embedding thread therapy has definite therapeutic effect on ulcerative colitis and the mechanism is possibly related with the decrease of ANCA.

Cyclophosphamide (CY), an alkylating agent, is frequently used in the treatment of various autoimmune disorders and malignancies. Acute hyponatremia is a well-known side effect of moderate to high dose intravenous CY treatment, but is rare in patients treated with low dose intravenous CY. We report the case of a severe symptomatic hyponatremia in a 68-year-old woman with renal impairment who was treated with oral CY (100 mg/day) for anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated glomerulonephritis (GN). This case demonstrates that even oral CY could be associated with life threatening acute hyponatremia and should be used with caution.
