Objective To study the effects of electroacupuncture(EA)on gastrointestinal motility and nitric oxide synthase(NOS)positive nerves in myenteric plexus in acute exhaustive exercise rats. Methods A total of 54 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into an acute exhaustive exercise(AEE)group,an AEE plus EA group and a control(C)group.The gastric empty rate and intestinal motility rate were measured,and histological changes of NOS-positive nerves in ileum myenteric plexus were observed with enzymatic histochemical method and image analysis technique. Results In the rats of AEE group,the gastric empty rate and intestinal motility rate were delayed but the numbers of NOS-positive neurons and expression levels of NOS in the ileum myenteric plexus significantly increased comparing with those of the C group(P＜0.01).Compared with AEE group,the gastric empty rate and intestinal motility rate were significantly increased but the number of NOS-positive neurons and expression level of NOS in the ileum myenteric plexus significantly decreased in AEE plus EA group(P＜0.01). Conclusion The findings of this study suggest that increase of NOS-positive neurons and expression levels of NOS in the myenteric plexus is one of the mechanisms of slowing down of gastrointestinal movement after acute exhaustive exercise.Electroacupuncture at Zusanli acupoint may decrease the number of NOS-positive neurons and expression levels of NOS in the myenteric plexus,and improve gastrointestinal movement in acute exhaustive exercise rats.

Objective To investigate the protective effect and the mechanisms of triptolide on antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) in kidney transplantation.Method A rat model of AMR in kidney transplantation was constructed by sensitizing major histocompability complex (MHC) completely incompatible species of rats via blood transfusion before kidney transplantation.The protective effect of Triptolide on the renal function and pathologic injury was studied in this rat model.The levels of donor specific antibodies were measured by flow cytometry.C4d expression and macrophage infiltration were examined by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence.Result Triptolide could improve the function of transplanted kidney significantly (P＜0.05) and alleviate the pathologic injury.Triptolide can also reduce the levels of IgM,IgG2b and IgG2c in the serum of the recipient rats and inhibit the macrophage infiltration as well (P＜0.05).Conclusion Triptolide plays protective and therapeutic roles in AMR of kidney transplantation,which may be contributed to the inhibition of the production of donor specific antibody and the macrophage infiltration.

ObjectiveTo investigate the etiology, exacerbating factors and outcome of geriatric patients with acute renal failure (ARF) in emergency and critical internal medicine. MethodsClinical features of elderly inpatients with ARF who were diagnosed in internal medicine of our hospital during the past 10 years were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into community-acquired ARF (CA-AFR) group and hospital-acquired ARF (HA-ARF) group. Comparisons between CA-ARF group and HA-ARF group, and between elderly patients and non-elderly patients with ARF in internal medicine were performed. ResultsAmong 381 elderly ARF patients in internal medicine, there were 218 (57.2%) CA-ARF patients and 163 (42.8%) HA-ARF patients. Most of the HA-ARF patients (153 cases) were distributed in medical intensive care. Compared with CA-ARF group, patients in HA-ARF group were older, with more underlying diseases, a higher ratio of infections and/or heart failure and more severe acute renal failure. Infection and heart failure/severe myocardial isehemia were the major exacerbating factors for HA-ARF. Of the 163 patients with HA-ARF, 146 patients died and 17 patients survived. Patients in the death group had more underlying diseases, a higher ratio of severe infections and heart failure/severe myocardial ischemia, a higher ratio of cases with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS) and a higher score of APACHE Ⅱ.When compared with non-elderly patients with ARF, the elderly patients had a higher proportion ofHA-ARF, a higher ratio of MODS, a higher score of APACHEⅡ and a higher mortality of ARF.ConclusionsThe elderly critical patients are susceptible to HA-ARF with more chronic underlying diseases. Infection and heart failure/severe myocardial ischemia are the major exacerbating factors.The prognosis depends on the treatment of predisposing diseases and removal of exacerbating factors.

Objective To compare the clinical effects of combined anesthesia of lumbar plexus-sciatic nerve and superior clunial nerve versus spinal-epidural analgesia in total hip replacement. Methods Fifty cases of total hip replacement were randomly divided into two groups. Patients in group A received combined anesthesia of lumbar plexus-sciatic nerve and superior clunial nerve,while patients in group B received spinal-epidural analgesia. Results There were no significant differences in preoperative HR, SBP,DBP and SpO2 between the groups(P > 0. 05). Compared with pre-anesthesia data,HR,SBP,DBP in group A were significantly lower during the anesthesia(P < 0. 05). In group B,there were no significant changes in HR,SBP,DBP and SpO2 during the anesthesia( P > 0. 05). Patients′ heart rate in group A showed significant changes compared with that in group B. The differences in HR,SBP and DBP between group A and B at the same time points were significant(P < 0. 05). Superior rate of anesthesia in group B is higher than that in group A(P < 0. 05). Conclusion Combined anesthesia of lumbar plexus-sciatic nerve and superior clunial nerve has limited influence on the circulatory and respiratory systems,which can be used for total hip replacement.
