Objective To evaluate the quality of clinical trials about acupuncture and moxibustion treatment of vertebrobasilar insufficiency in China.Methods Literature of clinical trials of acupuncture was collected and analyzed,evaluated by the randomized controlled test criteria and the clinical assessing method in Cochrane handbook of international Cochrane cooperation net.Results Sixteen literatures were brought in.87.5% of the included literature had no clear description of random methods,and no allocation concealment,use of blind methods,sample size calculation,intention-to-treat analysis.Among them,62.5% had explicit diagnosis criteria,12.5% with correct randomizing method,62.5% with explicit evaluation criteria,however,31.22% with no words referring to the comparability among the groups.Conclusions Though acupuncture and moxibustion have been widely applied in prevention and treatment of vertebrobasilar insufficiency,it can not provide evidences of higher reliability for clinical treatment due to less clinical randomized controlled tests and lower quality,which severely hinder testing and verifying of clinical therapeutic effects of acupuncture and moxibustion.It is proposed that multiple central and randomized controlled test should be made,so as to search for feasible acupuncture and moxibustion methods with definite therapeutic effect for vertebrobasilar insufficiency,and provide basis for further systematical evaluation.

Objective To elucidate the neurological m ec hanism of the referred pains in pelvic floor from prostate and the relationship between pain from prostate and pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. Meth ods The prostate was electrically stimulated,and the elicited action potentials were recorded from iliohypogastric,ilioinguinal,genitofemoral,latera l femoral cutaneous,femoral,sciatic nerves,and compound muscle action potentials (CMAP) were recorded from anal external sphincter. Results Action potentials were elicited principally in the genitofemoral nerve (93 .3%),ilioinguinal nerve (55.5%);the action potentials of the genitofemoral nerve were not influenced by transaction of the cervical spinal cord,whereas they dis appeared immediately after rat death; the action potentials were reduced conside rably after destruction of the lumbosacral sympathetic trunks.CMAPs were elicite d in the anal external sphincter in 93.3% of the rats (14/15). Conc lusions Electrical stimulation of the prostate induced reflex discha rges in the nerves to perineal,pelvic floor areas.It was postulated that the ref lex discharges are related to muscle contraction leading to referred pain in the perineal,pelvic floor areas.Pain from prostate is correlated significantly with pelvic floor muscle dysfunction.

Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2012;47(8):594-598
OBJECTIVE: To prepare nimodipine-loaded nanoemulsion(NimNE) suitable for intranasal administration and preliminary investigate their physical and chemical properties and brain tissue targeting. METHODS: Nanoemulsion were prepared using titration method and characterized for viscosity, pH, globule size and size distributions, Zeta potential and ciliotoxicity. Biodistribution of NimNE and Nim solution in the brain tissue and plasma of rats following intranasal and intravenous administrations were examined using HPLC. RESULTS: The optimal nanoemulsion formulation consisted of isopropyl myristate(IPM), solutol® HS-15/glycerin(4:1) and water and were transparent and stable with mean globule size between 20 to 30 nm and almost no ciliotoxicity. After intranasal (in) administration of NimNE at a dose of 2 mg·kg-1, the ratios of AUC in brain tissues to that in plasma obtained after nasal administration were significantly higher than those after iv administration in 240 min. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the nanoemulsion system is a promising approach for intranasal delivery of Nim to brain tissue. Copyright 2012 by the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association.
