Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2016;22(7):830-833
Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture at Tianzhu (BL10) on Blood Stasis Type lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods From October, 2013 to October, 2015, 108 LDH cases were randomized into observation group (n=53) and control group (n=55) in accordance with the order of visiting. The observation group received Tuina and acupuncture mainly at Tianzhu, while the control group only received Tuina, for four weeks. The clinical efficacy and improvement of Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores were record-ed, and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured before and after treatment. Results The VAS score and IL-6 content decreased in both groups after treatment (t>4.220, P<0.001), and decreased more in the observation group than in the control group (t>3.745, P<0.001). The total effective rate was 94.34% in the observation group, more than 81.82% in the control group (χ2=3.997, P=0.046). The incidence of impromvement of JOA scores was 90.57%in the observation group, more than 76.36%in the control group (χ2=3.920, P=0.048). Conclusion Acupuncture at Tianzhu based on Tuina is more effective on Blood Stasis Type lumbar disc herniation, in term of pain and function, which may relate with decrease of the level of IL-6.

Apoptosis is the autonomous death of cells,which is controlled by the genes and to maintain the homeostasis of the body.Apoptosis is the important mechanism in the cell's growth and development.Recent studies have found that apoptosis can affect the neighboring cells physiological process in microenvironment through directly contact or release a series of regulatory factor,which plays an important roles in the construction of tumor microenvironment.Therefore,understanding the roles of apoptosis in the normal and tumor microenvironment has great significance for further study the pathogenesis,prevention and treatment of tumor.

Objective To study the effect of different doses of atorvastatin in the treatment of coronary heart disease with chronic heart failure. Methods 100 patients with chronic heart failure who were admitted to Ankang Hospital from April 2013 to April 2016 were selected and randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group with a total of 50 patients in each group. Two groups of patients were treated with conventional treatment, the control group was given 20 mg of calcium a day, the experimental group was given a daily dose of 40 mg of calcium. The therapeutic effects of the two groups were compared. Results After treatment, the left ventricular end diastolic diameter in the control group was significantly higher than that in the experimental group, the left ventricular ejection fraction and E/A were significantly lower than those in the experimental group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Patients in the control group were significantly higher than those in the experimental group in the incidence of cardiac death and recurrence of heart failure (P<0.05). Before treatment, there was no significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in serum NT-proBNP, hs-CRP levels and 6MWT. After treatment, the serum levels of NT-proBNP, hs-CRP in the control group were significantly higher than those in the experimental group, 6MWT was significantly shorter than that in the experimental group, and the difference was statistically significant (proBNP) (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with 20mg/d, 40mg/d dose atorvastatin in the treatment of coronary heart disease with chronic heart failure curative effect, low recurrence rate, high safety, worthy of further promotion in clinical.

Camptothecin is known to possess a broad spectrum of anticancer activities, however due to its high toxicity and low solubility in water, camptothecin is severely limited in clinic. To optimize the effects of camptothecin in the treatment of malignancies, besides the structural modification and reconstruction of camptothecin, the establishment of new drug delivery systems becomes a hot topic in the camptothecin research. This paper aims to summarize the advanced progress in the delivery system and function of camptothecin at recent years. The advances in improving the poor solubility, lactone ring instability, controlled release systems and targeting delivery systems of camptothecin are also reviewed. As the related methods and technologies are improved and developed, camptothecin will be a group of prospective anticancer drugs.

Ojective To evaluate a new operation procedure for the treatment of circumferential mixed hemorrhoids. Methods 187 cases were treated by anal pad-preserving ligation resection, while 77 cases by routine procedures of stripping off the varicose masses of the external hemorrhoids and ligation the internal one as the control. Results Healing time of the operative wound were (17?4)d in the the study group and (24?4)d in the controls respectively( t =9.24, P 0.05). Postoperative urinary dysfunction: 14.4% of cases developed in the study group and 27.3% in the controls(? 2=8.42, P

Objective: To study the expression of TNF\|α and CD68 in nasal polyps tissue and their significance. Methods. Paraffin sections of 19 nasal polyps and 8 chronic rhinitis samples were studied with immunohistochemical technique. Results. The expression of TNF\|α were stronger in nasal polyps tissues than that in controls. Numerous CD68 positive cells were found in epithelium laryer and in the lamina propria of nasal polyps. There were positive relationship between the expression of TNF\|α and that of CD68(r=0.615). Conclusion. It was suggested that activized macrophage as antigen\|presenting cell in the development of nasal polyps, may play a important role through upregulated TNF\|α′s synthesis and secretion.

Objective To study the effects of Shen-fuinjection onthe activity of β-adrenoreceptor in SD rats with cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Method The exprimerit was done at emergency medical lab of Shanghai Changzheng hospital.Cardiac arrest was induced thngh asphyxiation(succinylcholine)and ice-cold 0.5 mol/L KCI in rats,and resuscitation began at five minutes after cardiac orrest.In this experiment,seventy-two male SD rats were randomizly divided into 9 groups:control group(sham group),routine treatment(O.5 h,2 h,4 h,6 h) groups.and Shen-fu treatment(O.5 h,2 h,4 h,6 h),and each group had 8 rats.Rats of Shen-fh treatment groups were injected with shen-fu(20 mL/kg,20 mL/h)during CPR.3H-prazosln Wag used to determine the activity of β-adrenoreceptor in myocyte. The data of the statistic analysiswere presentedin the for mofmeaj14-standard(4-5)deviation.One-way ANOVA was used for muhig Toup comparison,and t-test for comprarison between two groups.Results[3-adrenoreeeptor reached peak at0.5 h after CPR(247.81±8.91)fmol/mg,reached the lowest level at 4 h(104.17 4-13.87)fmol/mg,and returned to the normal level at 6 h(178.53±10.42)fmol/mg.In the eady period.-adrenorecepter activity in control group[O.5 h:(259.91-4-18.09)finol/mJ was similar to that in Shenfu treatment groups(P>O.05).In the late phase,adrenoreeeptor activity in the Shen-fu treatment groups[2 h:(173.04±18.77)fmol/mg,4 h:(148.72±13.88)finoL/mg]was significantly hi#er than that in the control groups(P<0.05).Conclusiom After CPR, ceplor activity firstly rises and then declines,and Shenfu injection Call significantly increase adrenoreceptor activity of mrs in the later period after CPR.

Patients with ischemic stroke is often accompanied by inflammtory response. Studies have suggested that toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) has induced the occurrence,development and of ischemic stroke and secondary brain injury. This article reviews the toil-like receptor 4 signal transduction pathway and its roles in ischemic stroke in order to provide certain basis for the development of TLR4-targeted medication.
