ObjectiveTo explore effects of food viscosity and sex on hyoid motion during swallowing in normal elder.MethodsVideofluoroscopic studies were done in 60 healthy elder. Hyoid motion during swallowing food with different viscosity was measured.ResultsOlder male had longer movement duration, greater amplitudes of upward and forward movement than older female (P<0.05). Amplitudes of upward movement in jam thick swallow and bread thick swallow were greater than that in liquid swallow (P<0.01). Bread thick swallow had the longest movement duration; liquid swallow had shortest movement duration.ConclusionThe hyoid bone moves both upward and forward during swallowing, the amplitude of upward displacement is highly variable and influenced by food viscosity. The duration and amplitude of hyoid motion in male or female are different.

To compare the clinical features and prognosis in patients with cytomegalovirus pneumonia from other pneumonia after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). A total of 118 patients with pulmonary complications after allo-HSCT from March 2016 to June 2019 were analyzed retrospectively, who were divided into cytomegalovirus (CMV) pneumonia group ( n=34) and the non-CMV pneumonia group ( n=84). Compared with non-CMV pneumonia group, CMV pneumonia group presented earlier median onset time (1.8 vs.6.0 months, P=0.015) after allo-HSCT, more dyspnea (41.2% vs. 19.0%, P=0.012), hypoxemia (38.2% vs. 13.1%, P=0.006), and interstitial pneumonia (82.4% vs. 23.8%, P<0.01).The incidence of CMV-viremia and serum viral load in CMV pneumonia group were significantly higher than those in non-CMV pneumonia group. Consistently, and the development of mixed infection in CMV pneumonia group was higher than that of non-CMV pneumonia group (41.2% vs. 16.7%, P=0.013). The median follow-up time was 12.8 (0.4-46.5) months. The 1-year attributable mortality in CMV pneumonia group was significantly higher than that in non-CMV pneumonia group (26.5% vs. 10.7%, P=0.004), while the 1-year overall survival rate was significantly lower than that in non-CMV pneumonia group (61.8% vs. 85.7%, P=0.001). Reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC)( P=0.036), high flow ventilation ( P=0.033) and negative CMV-viremia ( P=0.009) were unfavorable prognostic factors of patients with CMV pneumonia. Compared with those with non-CMV pneumonia, patients with CMV pneumonia had more characteristic clinical manifestations and imaging features. However, due to the higher incidence of mixed infections, the causes of pneumonia need to be identified by bronchoscopic alveolar lavage. In conclusion, patients with CMV pneumonia have worse clinical outcome. RIC, high flow ventilation and negative CMV-viremia are adverse prognostic factors for CMV pneumonia.

Objective To investigate any effects of rubbing acupoints on the right leg on activation and deactivation responses in the human cerebellum. Methods Ten male, healthy, right-handed subjects were examined using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) while their Zusanli (ST36) , Yanglingquan (GB34),Fenglong (ST40) and Sanyinjiao (SP6) acupoints on the right lower extremity were stimulated. A block-designed method was applied. A piece of sponge was used to rub all the above-mentioned acupoints for stimulation. The mean values of the activation and deactivation signals in different cerebellar zones induced by stimulating each acupoint were calculated.Results Each acupoint could modulate cerebellum function in its specific way, but all acupoints induced the largest mean values in the Vermis Crus I area. The largest deactivation effects for all acupoints except Sanyinjiao were located in the Vermis VI area. For each acupoint, left and right side activation effects of the 20 zones of the cerebellum were basically consistent, though the mean values of most zones were higher on the right side. Conclusions The four acupoints studied not only shared common modulating effects, but also showed point-specific influence on cerebellum function. The effects exerted by each acupoint on the Vermis were greater than that on the cerebellar hemispheres. The phenomena observed in this study could contribute to acupoint selection during rehabilitation.

Betel Shi-San-Wei Ingredients Pill(BSSWIP) was first recorded in the 19th century writings Meng-Yi Jin-Gui with the name of Gao-Y ou-13. The name of BSSWIP was first recorded in the book of the 1977 edition of the Drug Standard of the Jilin Province, which was formerly known as Tai De Hu Ran Gu Lu Ge Qi Nai Ran Ta, Se Me Ji De Ji De, and etc. Although in the book of Tong-Wa-Ga-Ji-De, Se Me Ji De Ji De was documented, it was the same name of different compositions. It had no original relation with BSSWIP. In different periods, the BSSWIP was consisted of 13, 14 or 15 kinds of herbs. There were at least five different types of herbs appeared in the Gao-Y ou-13. The evolution of prescription was mainly from the 19th century to the first half of the 20th century. There was no major change on prescription composition and proportion since 1971. Among them, 10 kinds of herbs, which were Bing-Lang, Guang-Zao, Mu-Xiang, Ding-Xiang, Rou-Dou-Kou, Zi-Nao-Sha, Gan-Jiang, Bi-Ba, Hu-Jiao, and Chen-Xiang were fixed. The ratio of single herbal medicine changed the most was Zhi-Cao-W u, which was followed by Mu-Xiang, Ding-Xiang and Chen-Xiang. There were no marked sources of BSSWIP in the recording of the Drug Standard of the Jilin Province and the Mongolian Medicine V olume·Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China. The composition and proportion were considered to be from the book Meng-Y i Jin-Gui according to notes of Standards on Mongolian Patent Medicine in Inner Mongolia. Recordings of three standards are in consistence with the Meng-Y i Jin-Gui on Gao-Y ou-13 except for Y e-Mao-Niu Xin and the different ratio of Zhi-Cao-W u. In the appendix of the Standards on Mongolian Patent Medicine in Inner Mongolia, it marked the differences from the original prescription. Therefore, the other two criteria should also mark the similarities and differences compared with the original prescription properly.

BACKGROUND:Mongolian Pharmaceutical Betel Shisanwei Ingredients Pil has achieved good clinical efficacy, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of Mongolian Pharmaceutical Betel Shisanwei Ingredients Pil on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis negative feedback function in the chronic depressed rats, and to explore anti-depression mechanisms of Mongolian Pharmaceutical Betel Shisanwei ingredients pil. METHODS: Eighty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into ten groups according to the sugar consumption test (with eight rats in each group): normal control group, model group, fluoxetine group, high-, medium- and low-dose Betel Shisanwei Ingredients Pil groups, RU486 group, high-, medium- and low-dose Betel Shisanwei Ingredients Pil plus RU486 groups. Except normal control group, the other groups were treated with the chronic unpredictable mild stress stimulation combined with lonely rising, to establish depression models. In the meantime, rats of the high-, medium- and low-dose Betel Shisanwei Ingredients Pil groups were given oral gavage of Betel Shisanwei Ingredients Pil (0.2, 0.4, 0.8 g/kg) for 28 days; rats of the normal control group and model group were intragstricaly administered with sodium carboxymethyl celulose; rats of RU486 group were given abdominal subcutaneous injection of RU486 from day 21 after modeling; rats of the high-, medium- and low-dose Betel Shisanwei Ingredients Pil plus RU486 groups were intragstricaly administered with Betel Shisanwei Ingredients Pil (0.2, 0.4, 0.8 g/kg) and subcutaneous injection of RU486 from day 21. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with normal control group, cortisone content increased significantly (P < 0.05), the expression of glucocorticoid receptor mRNA in hippocampus, hypothalamus and pituitary gland decreased significantly, and hypothalamic corticotrophin releasing hormone mRNA expression increased significantly in the model group and RU486 group. Compared with model group, cortisone content decreased, the expression of glucocorticoid receptor mRNA in hippocampus, hypothalamus and pituitary gland increased significantly, and hypothalamic corticotrophin releasing hormone mRNA expression decreased significantly in rats treated with Betel Shisanwei Ingredients Pil. Compared with RU486 group, Betel Shisanwei Ingredients Pil administration led to changed in cortisone content, glucocorticoid receptor mRNA expression in hippocampus, hypothalamus and pituitary gland, as wel as hypothalamic corticotrophin releasing hormone mRNA expression. Experimental findings indicate that, Betel Shisanwei Ingredients Pil can directly regulate excessive secretion of glucocorticoid, and improve the dysfunction of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis central negative feedback through increasing glucocorticoid receptor mRNA expression and decreasing corticotropin releasing hormone mRNA expression. After the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis negative feedback pathway is blocked, the effect of Betel Shisanwei Ingredients Pil is weakened.
