OBJECTIVETo compare the therapeutic differences among scalp acupuncture combined with auricular point sticking, body acupuncture and western medication for treatment of vascular dementia (VD).

METHODSNinety cases were randomly divided into a combined therapy group (31 cases), a body acupuncture group (29 cases) and a western medication group (30 cases). The combined therapy group was treated with scalp acupuncture at forehead middle line, parieral middle line, temporal front line and temporal rear line as well as auricular point sticking at naogan (AT3,41), shen (CO10), shenmen (TF4), zhen (AT3), once a day; the body acupuncture group was treated with acupuncture at Baihui (GV 20), Fengchi (GB 20), Zusanli (ST 36) and so on, once a day; the western medication group was treated with oral administration of aniracetam tablets, 0.2 g per time, twice a day. Fourteen days were considered as a treatment course, and totally 3 courses were required. The mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and activities of daily living (ADL) were applied to assess the changes of cognitive behavior ability before and after treatment among three groups. Also the efficacy among three groups were compared.

RESULTSOne case dropped out in the body acupuncture group and western medication group, respectively. The total effective rate was 90.334 (28/31) in the combined therapy group, which was superior to 85.734 (24/28) in the body acupuncture group and 79.3% (23/29) in the western medication group (both P < 0.05). After the treatment, the scores of MMSE and ADL were all improved among three groups, which was the most significant in the combined therapy group (MMSE: 23.32 +/- 4.45 vs 21.23 +/- 4.13, P < 0.05; 23.32 +/- 4.45 vs 20.41 +/- 4. 01, P < 0.01; ADL: 53.18 +/- 21.55 vs 51.92 +/- 20.42, P < 0.05; 53.18 +/- 21.55 vs 49.42 +/- 19.43, P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONThe scalp acupuncture combined with auricular point sticking could improve the clinical symptoms and cognitive behavior ability in patients with vascular dementia, which has superior total efficacy to body acupuncture and western medication aniracetam tablets.

Objective To determine the clinical significance of measuring the levels of 25-(OH) vitamin D3 [(25-(OH) D3)],immune globulins and serum alkaline phosphatase(AKP) in children with recurrent community-acquired pneumonia(CAP).Methods Serum samples were collected in children with recurrent CAP (recur-rent CAP group,n =38),first CAP (first CAP group,n =123),and age matched normal children (heath control group,n =39).The 25-(OH) D3 level,IgG,IgM,IgA and AKP levels were measured.Results The serum 25-(OH)D3 concentration of the recurrent CAP group was (47.87 ± 2.28)nmol/L,that of the first CAP group was (84.43 ± 4.12) nmol/L,and that of the heath control group was (91.2 ± 7.85) nmol/L,the differences among the three groups were statistically significant (t =3.716,8.881,all P ＜0.05).The differences of the serum IgA concen tration among the three groups had statistically significant differences (t =4.596,5.319,9.230,all P ＜ 0.05).But the serum IgG concentration among the three groups had no statistically significant differences(t =1.115,1.887,1.090,all P ＞ 0.05).The serum IgM concentration among the three groups had no statistically significant differences (t =0.804,0.942,0.918,all P ＞ 0.05).The serum AKP concentration among the three groups had no statistically signifi cant differences(t =0.277,0.661,0.866,all P ＞ 0.05).The serum 25-(OH) D3 levels in 161 cases of CAP patients were not correlated to any of the levels of IgM,IgG,IgA,or AKP.Conclusion The levels of 25-(OH) D3 and IgA are significantly lower in children with recurrent CAP,indicating that vitamin D deficiency may play a role in the pathogenesis of recurrent CAP.Prophylactic use of vitamin D supplementation may improve the immune function and reduce the development of recurrent CAP in children.

To investigate the correlation between methylation and expression of multidrug resistance (mdr1) gene, restriction endonuclease HpaII combined with competitive PCR technique was used to quantitatively detect the methylation status of two CCGG sites located at -110 and -50 bp (region I and II) up to the transcription start site in mdr1 promoter in 54 AL and 9 MM patients. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was used to detect the expression level of mdr1 gene. The results showed that inverse correlation between methylation rate of either region or total methylation rate and expression of mdr1 gene was observed. The correlation in the region I (r = -0.64) was closer than that in the region II (r = -0.4). High expression rate of mdr1 ascended significantly in low methylation group (n = 36) (P < 0.001). In comparison with chemotherapy sensitive group (n = 8), the methylation rate in refractory AL patients (n = 16) was lower (P = 0.05) in the region I, P < 0.05 in the region II and total regions. Comparing with the untreated patients (n = 36), the methylation rate in the region I and total methylation rate were lower in the patients with chemotherapy (n = 14) (P < 0.05). The methylation rate in the region II was also decreased after chemotherapy, however, no statistical significance was shown (P > 0.05). Increased mdr1 expression level accompanying with decreased methylation rate after chemotherapy was found, although no significant difference was shown (P = 0.06). It is concluded that the expression level of mdr1 gene was associated with the methylation status of CCGG in -110 and -50 bp upstream to the transcription start site, especially the -110 site. In both the patients treated with chemotherapy and the refractory patients, the methylation level of mdr1 gene decreased relatively. The rising expression of mdr1 gene after chemotherapy was associated with the decrease of methylation level.
