Journal of Chinese Physician 2015;17(4):516-518
Objective To investigate the relationships between serum inflammatory mediators and myocardial injury in rats with sepsis.Methods Thirty male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into normal control group and sepsis (0,24,48,72 h) groups.The rats subjected to sepsis were induced with cecum ligation perforation (CLP).Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α),interleukin-6 (IL-6),cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnI) and B-type natriuretic peptide precursor (NT-proBNP) in the venous blood were measured at 0 h,24 h,48 h,and 72 h after CLP.The lactic acid (Lac) of the arterial blood,cardiac index (CI),acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) Ⅱ score were also determined simultaneously.Results The levels of TNF-α,IL-6,cTnI,NT-proBNP,and Lac in sepsis (24 h,48 h,and 72 h) groups were significantly elevated compared to normal control and sepsis (0 h) group.In addition,the number of sepsis (24 h,48 h,and 72 h) groups progressively increased (P <0.05).Conclusions It existed a close relationship between serum inflammatory mediators and myocardial injury,and made myocardium damage after CLP.

Professor XIE Qiang's Tihu Guanding needling method, a kind of acupuncture method which takes acupoints of the Conception Vessel as the primary and acupoints of the Governor Vessel as the secondary. Acupoints Lianquan (CV 23), Tiantu (CV 22), Qihai (CV 6), Zhongwan (CV 12), Baihui (GV 20) and Dazhui (GV 14) are adopted as the basic ones. Other points can be added according to various symptoms, for instance, Yingxiang (LI 20) and Yintang (GV 29) for rhinopathy, Tinggong (SI 19) and Yifeng (TE 17) for otopathy, Yan'an (Professor XIE's experience) and Shanglianquan (EX-HN 21) for pharyngopathy and Kaiyin 1 (Professor XIE's experience) and Kaiyin 2 (Professor XIE's experience) for laryngopathy. During the needle retention, rotation manipulation should be done every 5 min at Lianquan (CV 23). And the patient should be told to put the tip of one's tongue at the the palate as well as to do deep breathing to communicate the Conception Vessel and the Governor Vessel. Moxibustion is adopted at Yongquan (KI 1) to induce the up floating fire to mingmen (where the primary yang is stored). The therapeutic effect on treatment of persistent otorhinolaryngologic diseases with the above mentioned method is approve to be good.

Objective To evaluate common carotid arterial intima-media thickness (IMT) and elasticity using ultrasound radio-frequency data (RF-data) technology, the normal values of the related parameters were determined in healthy adults for their potential clinical applications.Methods One hundred and sixty healthy adults were included and divided into 4 age groups with 20 males and 20 females in each group.The quantitative parameters of common carotid arterial IMT, common carotid arterial distensibility (CD),local pulse wave velocity(PWVβ) and stiffness(β) were calculated automatically.The correlations that the IMT, PWVβ and β were correlated positively with aging and CD was correlated negatively with between IMT and PWVβ or β, while no correlation between IMT and CD.The positive correlation was found correlation between IMT and age ( P<0.05) ;In 30~39 and 40~49 years old groups,PWVβ increased and CD decreased with aging;In 50~59 years old group,PWVβ and β increased with aging;But in 60~69 years these parameters changed with aging in subjects<60 years old.Conclusions RF-data technology could quantitativly evaluate common carotid arterial IMT and elasticity, the normal values of the related parameters were determined with aging,it may be a promising modality to assess the arterial condition.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the main reason of joint pain and dysfunction in the elderly in China, and its incidence is increasing year by year. In addition to the joint peripheral osteophyte formation and degeneration of articular cartilage, in?flammation, as one of the dominant pathological changes in OA, is causing more and more attention. Pro-inflammatory cyto?kines (PIC) are important mediators of inflammation. The increased level of PIC in OA can lead to systemic and local inflam?mation, results in further destruction of many kinds of tissues in joint (such as cartilage), and accelerates the development of OA. Besides, the severity of inflammation is closely related to the clinical symptoms of OA. Therefore, it is important to un?derstand the role of PIC in the pathogenesis of OA. From the perspective of the relationship between pro-inflammatory fac?tors and OA and the molecular mechanism, this article reviews the research progress in this field, which provides new con?cepts for diagnose and treatment of OA.

Objective To systematically evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of Breviscapine injection combined with conventional therapy in the treatment of unstable angina pectoris (UAP).Methods The literature were systematicly retrieved about the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of Breviscapine injection for UAP. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Table was used to evaluate the methodological quality of the RCTs and then the data were extracted and meta-analysed by RevMan 5.3 software.Results A total of 15 RCTs with 1202 participants were included. In the meta-analysis, the combination of Breviscapine injection and conventional therapy in the treatment of UAP can achieve better angina pectoris curative effect (Z=7.74,P<0.01), theRR(95% CI) was 1.23 (1.17,1.30), and the electrocardiogram curative effect (Z=6.26,P<0.01), the RR(95% CI) was 1.32(1.21, 1.44). Furthermore, Breviscapine injection can improve hemorheologic parameters. And there was no major or serious adverse drug event.Conclusions The Breviscapine injection combined with conventional therapy shows good therapeutic effect on UAP.

Objective To investigate the effect of human umbilical cord blood stem cells on flash visual evoked potentials (F-VEP) of the traumatic optic neuropathy rats.Methods Forty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into an injury group (Group A) and 3 treatment groups (Groups B,C,and D).A traumatic optic neuropathy model was built in Group A,and the rats in Groups B,C,and D were injected with the neurotrophic factor,human umbilical cord blood stem cells,and the mixture of the neurotrophic factor and human umbilical cord blood stem cells,respectively.F-VEP was recorded in both eyes of rats at the 1st h,1st week,2nd week,3rd week,and 4th week after the optic nerve injury.Results At all time points,there were significant difference in the wave latency and amplitude between Group A and normal control eyes (P<0.01).The differences of the wave latency and amplitude between Group A and Groups B,C,and D were statistically significant at various time points after the injury except for the wave latency at the 1st h post-operation (P>0.05).The amplitude in Group D was higher while the latency was shorter than those of Group B at all time points since the 1st week (P<0.05).The comparisons at the same point in the remaining treatment groups were not significantly different (P>0.05).Conclusion The mixture of human umbilical cord blood stem cells and neurotrophic factor has a promotion effect for the recovery of F-VEP of optic nerve in traumatic optic neuropathy in rats to some degrees.

Objective To observe the expression of leukocyte-function-associated antigen-1(LFA-1)immunoreaction in children with febrile seizures(FS),and explore the neuroimmunomodulation mechanisms in the pathogenesis of FS.Methods Adopting flow cytometry(FCM),the levels of LFA-1 contained in blood serum and peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC)of 60 cases [simple FS(SFS)30 cases;complex FS(CFS)30 cases] with febrile convulsion were analyzed,and compared with those in a normal group(30 cases).Out of 60 children with FS group,the LFA-1 mRNA in 20 cases with SFS and 20 cases with CFS was analyzed,and LFA-1 mRNA in19 health children taken out from control group(30 cases)was analyzed.The real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of PBMC LFA-1 mRNA.Results The expression of LFA-1 in the surface of PBMC of the 3 groups,the highest LFA-1 level was in the SFS group(50.89?21.36),the lowest LFA-1 level was in the CFS group(34.35?11.45),and control group was(41.39?16.30).Significant differences were found in 3 groups(Pa
