Methods2 young male patients with peripheral neuropathy who had exposed to acrylamide for job more than one year were reported.ResultsNeuroelectrophysiological examination showed marked abnormalities in both peripheral and central nerve conduction in both patients. Sural nerve biopsies revealed axonal degeneration, Wallerian degeneration and giant axon with accumulated neurofilaments. Additonally, vasculopathies including prominant thickness of arterial intesma and basal membrane of capillary as well as apoptosis of vascular pericyte, were evident. ConclusionAxonal degeneration and vascular involvement has been found in acrylamide toxication. Vascular impairment maybe plays an important role in the pathogenesis of neuropathy.

To investigate the effect of compound Chinese traditional medicine PC-SPES II I in inhibiting proliferation of human prostate cancer cell LNCaP based on the androgen receptor (AR) signaling pathway. The effect of PC-SPES II on LNCaP cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay. According to the findings, at the mass concentration of 180-1 440 mg x L(-1), PC-SPES II significantly inhibited the proliferation of LNCaP cells; the IC50 of PC-SPES II at 24 h and 48 h were 311.48, 199.01 mg x L(-1), respectively. The flow Cytometry detection showed 240 mg x L(-1) PC-SPES II arrested cells in G2/M phase, and an obvious apoptotic peak appeared before G0/G1 peak and rose over time. Meanwhile, Hoechst 33258 staining revealed apoptotic cellular morphology. Annexin V-FITC/PI staining manifested an increase in apoptotic cell ratio at the PC-SPES II concentration of 480 mg x L(-1) in a dose dependent manner. The prostate specific antigen (PSA) secretion of LNCaP cells was tested by PSA ELISA kit. Besides, compared with 25 mg x L(-1) Bic, 480 mg x L(-1) PC-SPES II significantly reduced the cell secretion of PSA. The AR and PSA mRNA and protein expressions were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot. According to the results, after the induction of LNCaP cells with synthetic androgen 25 μg x L(-1) R1881, 240-480 mg x L(-1) PC-SPES II notably down-regulated the AR and PSA mRNA and protein expressions and inhibited the translocation of AR from cytoplasm to nucleus. In summary, PC-SPES II significantly can inhibit the in vitro proliferation of LNCaP cells and arrest cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase. Its mechanism may be associated with the down-regulation of the AR and PSA expressions and the inhibition of AR nuclear translocation.

OBJECTIVETo subjectively and objectively assess the effect of Jiawei Xiaoyao Powder (JXYP) on sleep in patients with psychological stress insomnia. METHHODS: A randomized controlled study was conducted in 33 patients with psychological stress insomnia. They were assigned to 4 groups, 4 in the TCM group treated with JXYP, 5 in the Western medicine (WM) group treated with Estazolam, 9 in the integrated medicine (IM) group treated with JXYP plus Estazolam, and 10 in the control group treated with placebo. Quality of sleep in patients was assessed subjectively and objectively before treatment and 6 weeks after treatment by Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), self-rating scale of sleep (SRSS) and polysomnography (PSG), respectively.

RESULTSSubjective assessment on sleep showed that after 6-week treatment, the scores of PSQI and SRSS remarkably reduced in the TCM, IM and control groups (P < 0.05), while the decrease was insignificant in the WM group (P > 0.05), but no significant difference between groups was shown. The objective assessment by PSG showed that no significant change was found after treatment in parameters of total sleep time (TST), sleep time of phase 1 and 2, slow wave phase, rapid-eye-movement (REM) phase, sleep latency, REM sleep latency, also in long waking and short waking times in all group (P > 0.05), but a significant increase of sleep efficacy (P < 0.05) and an increasing trend of TST (P > 0.05) were shown in the IM group, and an increasing trend of both in the TCM group (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONJXYP, combined with or without Estazolam, can improve the quality of sleep subjectively, and the combination of the two could enhance the efficacy of sleep in patients with psychological stress insomnia.
