According to the characteristics of the etiology and pathogenesis of child cerebral palsy, on the basis of "regulating the mind in treatment of all kinds of diseases" and "regulating the functions of five zang organs with back-shu points", Professor DONG Gui-rong applied the penetrating needling technique on the scalp points and acupuncture at back-shu points of five zang organs in the treatment of child cerebral palsy. The valuable clinical experiences have been summarized as "regulating the mind with scalp needling technique, benefiting the brain and opening the orifice", "regulating five zang organs with back-shu points" and "integration of acupuncture and rehabilitation, and function reconstruction". Two effective cases were introduced.

Objective To examine expression levels of autophagy gene pULK and PI3KC3 and to explore their correla?tion with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods A total of 77 samples of surgical resection from NSCLC speci? mens (including 31 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, 31 cases of adenocarcinoma and 15 cases of large cell undifferentiated carcinoma) and 21 samples of same normal lung tissue were randomly selected. Expressions of pULK and PI3KC3 in lung tissues were assessed by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. All dates were analyzed using SPSS13.0 statistical pack?age. Results Immunohistochemistry indicated that pULK and PI3KC3 localized into the cytoplasm. The expression levels of pULK and PI3KC3 are significantly lower in patient with NSCLC than those in peri-tumor tissue (35.1%vs 81.0%, 40.3%vs 76.2%respectively, P<0.01) . Immunohistochemistry and Western bolt analysis confirmed that pULK and PI3KC3 ex?pressions were significantly down-regulated (P<0.01) in patients with low grade cellular differentiation, metastasis of lymph node, or stageⅢandⅣ. And expression levels of pULK and PI3KC3 in NSCLC did not differ significantly with ages, gen?der, tumor size and pathological type. Correlation analysis showed that the expression of PI3KC3 was positively correlated with pULK. Conclusion pULK and PI3KC3 expressions were lower in NSCLC than those in normal lung tissue group. The expression levels of pULK and PI3KC3 in NSCLC were correlated with patient's clinical stage, differentiation grade, lymph node metastasis but were unrelated with age, gender, histological type and size.

Objective To evaluate the respiratory mechanics and inflammatory status in elderly patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD).Methods The arterial blood gases (ABGs),respiratory drive and its derivatives,mechanics of respiratory muscles,resistance and compliance of airway,interleukin-8 (IL-8)and interferon-?(IFN-?)were measured in 42 cases withstable COPD and 40 subjects of normal control.Results The elderly patients with stable COPD had great changes in the following parameters while compared with the control group:peak inspiratory pressure(PIMAX) [(4.48?2.11)vs(6.10?2.91)kPa],maximum expiratory pressure (PEMAX)[(6.30?3.20)vs(9.15?93.30)kPa],0.1s mouth occlusion pressure(P_(0.1)) with its correction index,airway resistance,compliance,ABGs,the levels of IL-8[(218.46?91.14) vs (161.84?14.40)ng/L]and IFN-?[(2435.82?639.92)vs(1652.40?95.08)ng/L],which might aggravate the progress of COPD consistently.Conclusions The elderly patiends with stable COPD has marked changes in respiratory drive,airway resistance,and airway compliance,respiratory mechanic and inflammatory status.The intervention should be performed in the elderly stable COPD patients.

Objective To investigate the pathogenesis of familial systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), by analyzing the gene expression profile of peripheral blood in a family with 2 SLE patients and their first-degree relatives. Methods Total RNA was extracted from peripheral blood cells of normal subjects and SLE patients. Then, synthesis double strand cDNA template from total RNA, transcription of cRNA probe with Biotin labeling, hybridization of probe with Microarray, binding of Streptavidin to Biotin, amplification with First Antibody, further amplification with Cy3-Conjugated Second Antibody, detection of Cy3 dye with ScanArray 5000 were performed. With QuantArray microarray analysis software, the scan image information was converted into numeric data. With GeneSpring microarray analysis software, cluster analysis was done to find interested genes. Results Over 3000 target genes were analysed. Fifty-nine genes differentially expressed in familial SLE patients and controls were identified. Among them, 34 genes were up-regulated and 25 genes were down-regulated. These differentially expressed genes identified in two familial SLE patients were almost identical to those found in other sporadic SLE patients. Among 34 expression increasing genes, 22 were up-regulated in SLE sisters and unaffected sisters; among 25 expression decreased genes, 17 genes down-regulated in SLE sisters and unaffected sister. Cluster analysis showed that patients were clearly separated from controls and their unaffected sisters based on their gene expression profile. These results showed that in familial SLE, multiple genes were responsible for susceptibility to SLE, and clinically unaffected relatives shared some lupus susceptibility genes with their clinically affected relatives, in addition environmental factors were probably necessary to trigger disease. Conclusion These results indicate that high-density oligonucleotide microarray has the potential to explore the heredity in SLE families.

Objective To correlate the chemokine score with disease activity,organ damages and clinical features in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients.Methods Peripheral blood cells obtained from 60 SLE patients,20 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and 23 healthy donors (HDs) were subjected to real-time PCR to measure the transcriptional levels of seven chemokines (RANTES,MCP-1,CCL19,MIG,IP-10,CXCL11,and IL-8).Chemokine scores were calculated and were compared between various groups of SLE patients as well as between patients and controls.Results Chemokine scores were significantly elevated in SLE patients compared with RA patients and HDs (P=0.0112 and P=0.0019,respectively).Chemokine scores were correlated positively with SLEDAI (P=0.0061) and negatively with C3 levels (P=0.003).Compared to patients without lupus nephritis (LN),chemokine scores were elevated in SLE patients with active LN,especially when their daily prednisone dosage was less than 30 mg (P=0.0418 and P=0.002,respectively).Chemokine scores were also associated with cumulative organ damage (SLICC damage index [SDI]＞0) and positive anti-Sm and anti-RNP autoantibodies.Conclusion The chemokine score may serve as a new biomarker for disease activity and organ damage in SLE patients.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors of 18F-FDG uptaking in head and neck malignancy by SPECT/CT coincidence imaging. Methods 18F-FDG SPECT/CT coincidence imaging was performed in 32 patients with head and neck malignancy after surgery, radiotherapy or radiotherapy + chemotherapy. The radio of target/no target (T/N) was calculated. The gender, age, fasting blood glucose level, size of tumor, location of tumor, pathological classification, de-gree of cell differentiation and treatment modalities were analyzed between groups. Results The single-factor analysis of variance showed that the T/N value was significantly higher in >70 yeas old, group than that of 41-50 yeas old group and 51-60 yeas old group (P<0.05). The T/N value was significantly lower in tumor size<2 cm group than that of 2-5 cm group and>5 cm group (P<0.05). And it was lower in poor differentiated tumor group than that of. undifferentiated tumor group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in T/N values between other indicator groups (P>0.05). The multiple linear regression analysis showed that 18F-FDG uptaking in head and neck malignancy (T/N=Y) was related to the age of patients (X2), the diameter of tumor (X4) and the degree of cell differentiation (X9): =-4.389 25+0.053 03 X2+1.617 86 X4+0.718 35 X9. Conclusion Tumor recurrence is more likely to occur in patients with age>70 years old, the diameter of tumor≥2 cm, and the anaplastic head and neck malignancy.We should pay much attention to the diagnosis and follow-up for these pa-tients.
