Objective To discuss the effects of acupuncture therapy on resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in patients with ischemic stroke; To explore the central mechanism of acupuncture therapy.Methods Ten is chemic stroke patients with hemiplegia limbs and ten matched control subjects were included. Treatment group was given anti-platelet aggregation, anticoagulation, and nutrition brain cell therapy. At the same time, acupuncture therapy was given, taking Jianyu, Quchi, Shousanli, Waiguan, Hegu, Zusanli, Fenglong, Yanglingquan, Sanyinjiao, and Taichong, with even reinforcing-reducing method, and retaining the needle 30 min, manipulating needle every 10 min, once a day, 5 times a week, needle stopping for 2 d, for continuous 30 d. The health group did not undergo any treatment. BOLD-fMRI imaging technique was used, and based on RSET1.8 software, the parameters of brain activity before and after treatment were observed by amplitude of low frequency fluctuation (ALFF) method. The Results were compared with healthy group. Results Before treatment, the ALFF value of left caudate nucleus, putamen and globus pallidus in the treatment group was lower than that in the health group, and the ALFF value of bilateral precentral and postcentral gyrus, left grus frontalis superior, gyrus frontalis medius, gyrus temporalis medius and precuneus was higher than the health group (P<0.05). After treatment, the ALFF value in left caudate nucleus, putamen and globus pallidus in the treatment group was higher than that before treatment, and the ALFF value in left gyrus frontalis superior, gyrus frontalis medius and precuneus decreased than before group (P<0.05).Conclusion In the resting state of the ischemic stroke patients with hemiplegia limbs, the principal injured brain regions are caudate nucleus, putamen and globus pallidus. Acupuncture has a regulatory role for these brain areas, presumably may be the central mechanism of efficacy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the karyotypes of amiotic fluid cells and compare the incidence of chromosomal abnormality as well as to evaluate the clinical significance of abnormal karyotypes. MethodsA total of 13 648 pregnant women came to Shanghai Jiai Genetics and IVF Institute, Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Fuclan University to do amniocentesis from September 1998 to November 2010, and 13 795 amniotic fluid specimens were successfully extracted and cultured, thus 13 795 fetuses received karyotype diagnosis. These fetuses were grouped according to different indications. If maternal age was ≥ 35, the fetuses were grouped into the advanced maternal age group (4065) ; and if maternal serum screening test revealed high-risk of trisomy 18 or trisomy 21, the fetuses were grouped into the high-risk serum screening group (6462) ; and those with abnormal signs of ultrasound screening were grouped into the abnormal ultrasound signs group (1539); and if either of the parents was with chromosome abnormalities, the fetus was grouped into the paternal/maternal abnormality group ( 108 ) ; whereas the remainder were grouped in other factors group ( 1621 ). The amniotic fluid cells were in-situ cultured on coverslips, harvested by conventional G-banded methods, and then analyzed by two doctors. In order to get rapid diagnosis, some pregnant women whose gestational age ≥26 weeks accepted fluorescense in situ hybridization (FISH). FISH was done on 78 uncultured amniotic fluid specimens using probes located at chromosome 13,18,21, X,Y. Some parents were required to analyze lymphocyte karyotype to help judging the origin of abnormal karyotype. Results( 1 ) Classification and composition of abnormal karyotypes in each group : a total of 388 abnormal karyotypes were found among 13 795 fetuses, and the abnormal rate was 2. 813% (388/13 795).Of the 388 fetuses, aneuploidy was the most common pattern which was up to 59. 8%(232/388);autosomal structural abnormality rate was 24. 7% ( 96/388 ) ; mosaicism was 12.4% (48/388). Other uncommon abnormal karyotypes included marker chromosome (5/388,1.3%), sex chromosomal structural abnormality (4/388,1.0%) and triploid (3/388, 0. 8% ). Aneuploidy was the most common in most groups except the patemal/matemal abnormality group. There were four cases of rare aneuploid in the advanced maternal age group,the high-risk serum screening group and the abnormal ultrasound signs group respectively. Every type of abnormality could be found in the abnormal ultrasound signs group, and autosomal structural abnormalities were concentratedin paternal/maternalabnormality group. Mosaicism mainly distributed in the high-risk serum screening group, accounting for 20. 0% (29/145) of abnormalities in this group. (2) Abnormal types and the incidence: the most common type was trisomy 21 ( 138/388,35.6% ),followed by autosomal balanced structural rearrangements( 80/388, 20. 6% ), mosaicism(48/388,12. 4% )and trisomy 18 (44/388,11.3% ). Others included non-balanced autosomal structural rearrangements (16/388,4. 1% ), 45 ,X0 ( 16/388,4. 1% ) and 47 ,XXY( 15/388,3.9% ). (3) Lymphocyte karyotype analysis of the couples: parents of 153 fetuses were analyzed to determine the origin of abnormal karyotype. Fifty-eight familial and 95 de novo abnormalities were found. FISH results were the same with G-banding karyotype, and two of these were trisomy 21. Conclusions Abnormal karyotype composition is different according to different maternal amniocentisis indications. There is a variety of abnormal karyotypes in the second trimester pregnancy, and the risk of fetal malformation is related with the kind of abnormal karyotype.
