OBJECTIVETo compare the difference in the clinical efficacy on post-stroke insomnia between the low-frequency electric stimulation at the acupoints and the conventional western medication.

METHODSOne hundred and twenty patients of post-stroke insomnia were randomized into a low-frequency electric stimulation group, a medication group and a placebo group, 40 cases in each one. In the low-frequency electric stimulation group, the low-frequency electric-pulsing apparatus was used at Dazhui (GV 14) and Shenshu (BL 23), once a day; the treatment of 15 days made one session and 2 sessions were required. In the medication group, estazolam was taken orally, 1 mg each time. In the placebo group, starch capsules were taken orally, 1 capsule each time. All the drugs were taken before sleep every night, continuously for 15 days as one session, and 2 sessions were required. PSQI changes and clinical efficacy were observed before and after treatment in each group.

RESULTSPitlsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) score was reduced in every group after treatment (all P < 0.01). In the low-frequency electric stimulation group and medication group, the score was reduced much more significantly as compared with the placebo group (both P < 0.01). In the placebo group, 1 case was rejected. The total effective rates were 95.0% (38/40), 92.5% (37/40) and 17.9% (7/39) in the low-frequency electric stimulation group, medication group and placebo group separately. The efficacy in the low-frequency electric stimulation group and medication group was better apparently than that in the placebo group (both P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONThe low-frequency electric stimulation at the acupoints effectively and safely treats post-stroke insomnia and the efficacy of it is similar to that of estazolam.

The relationships between serum endothelin-1,calcitonin gene-related peptide and hypoxic-ischemic brain injury(HIBD) has been widely importance.Their respective functions,mutual relations and their relationships with HIBD has become a hot research.Understanding of their biological characteristics,mechanism and regulation of gene expression characteristics,is conducive to more in depth study on its pathogenic characteristics,provide a theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

ATP-binding cassette transporter Al (ABCAl) is a kind of membrane intergrate protein and may have multiple and diverse functions. It mediates the cellular efflux of phospholipids and cholesterol to lipid-poor apolipoproteinA- Ⅰ (apoA- Ⅰ ) and plays a significant role in high density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism. Mutations in human ABCAl cause severe HDL deficiencies characterized by the virtual absence of apoA- Ⅰ and HDL and prevalent atherosclerosis. ABCAl expression is highly regulated and implies a variety of molecular actors. All of the nuclear receptors which involve in regulation of ABCAl expression act via the DR4 element in the ABCAl promoter. cAMP up-regulates ABCAl expression by acting both at the transcriptional and translational level. Cytokines have been shown to exert pleiotropic and antinomic effects on ABCAl transcription, In addition to these, some of enzymes and proteins such as protein kinase A, protein kinase CK2, cathepsin D are involved in the regulation of ABCAl expression. The recent progress in the structure, function and regulation of ABCAl transporter is reviewed.

Objective: To detect the dynamic change of expression of CD133, a marker of liver cancer stem cell, at different stages of liver carcinogenesis induced by chemicals in C57BL/6J mice. Methods: The tumorigenesis and the growth of chemical (diethylnirtosamine/carbon tetrachloride/ethanol)-induced primary HCC (hepatocellular carcinoma) in 50 male C57BL/6J mice were observed. Another 45 male C57BL/6J mice which had not been exposed to carcinogenic chemicals were used as the normal controls. The mice were randomly sacrificed every two weeks, and the liver tissues were removed to observe the change of pathology. The expression of CD133 mRNA was detected by RFQ-PCR (real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR), and the expression of CD133 protein was detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. The percentage of CD133-positive cells was analyzed by FCM (flow cytometry). Results: The primary HCC was successfully induced in male C57BL/6J mice after chemical intervention for 20 weeks. The results of RFQ-PCR and FCM showed that the expression level of CD133 in the chemicalinduced group was obviously higher than that in the normal control group after 8 weeks (P < 0.05, P < 0.001). The expression level of CD133 kept on rising in the chemical-induced group as time progressed, and it was significantly higher at the 16th week than at earlier stages (P < 0.001). Western blotting result showed that the CD133 weak expression could be observed at the 4th week. As time progressed, the expression level of CD133 protein was gradually increased. The result of immunohistochemistry showed that the expressions of CD133 in the chemical-induced group were weakly, moderately and strongly positive at the 8th, 16th and 20th week, respectively; while the expression of CD133 was negative in the normal control group. Conclusion: The liver cancer stem cell marker CD133 is involved in the development and progression of liver cancer, and its expression level is gradually increased in the process of carcinogenesis.

BACKGROUND:There have been many studies on the diagnosis of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. However, there are few studies on the diagnostic methods of fracture in different periods. OBJECTIVE:To comparatively analyze the application value of high-intensity magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and single photon emission computed tomography combined with CT scan image fusion (SPECT-CT) in the diagnosis of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. METHODS:Clinical data of 35 patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures were retrospectively analyzed, including 56 vertebrae. There were 14 males and 21 females, with an average age of 72.6 years. The course of disease was within 3 weeks in 22 patients, belonging to acute fractures. The course of the disease was between 4 and 12 weeks in 10 patients, belonging to the subacute fractures. The course of disease was 6 months in 3 patients, belonging to the fracture healing period. Al patients were tested with high-intensity MRI and SPECT-CT examination, and were treated with vertebroplasty or percutaneous kyphoplasty. The Fisher exact method was used to compare the two diagnostic methods in the diagnosis of vertebral fracture. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) In the 56 responsible vertebral bodies, 32 vertebral bodies belonged to the acute-stage fractures, and 24 vertebral bodies belonged to the non-acute-stage fractures. In al the fractures, MRI diagnosed 49 segments;SPECT-CT diagnosed 52 segments. The sensitivity of SPECT-CT testing was higher than MRI, and its specificity was less than MRI. There was a high consistency of diagnosis between fractures. (2) In the 32 acute vertebral fractures, the two tests diagnosed 29 segments. The sensitivity of SPECT-CT was higher than that of MRI, but its specificity was lower than that of the MRI. There was a high consistency between the diagnoses of fractures. (3) In the 24 non-acute vertebral fractures, MRI diagnosed 20 segments;SPECT-CT diagnosed 23 segments. SPECT-CT was more sensitive than MRI;the specificity of SPECT-CT was lower than MRI. There was a high consistency between the two diagnoses of fractures. (4) There was a high consistency in the MRI and SPECT-CT examination to determine the fracture of different periods of responsibility of the vertebral body, but the sensitivity of SPECT-CT is higher than MRI examination;SPECT-CT is an effective inspection method in the diagnosis of vertebral fractures.
