Study the infect of child anorexia granule on serum ghrelin and leptin of anorexia children and its clinical efficacy. Selected 81 cases of anorexia children aged 1-6 years old into treatment group (42 cases) and control group (39 cases), in addition, 30 case healthy children as healthy control group. The control group children were treated with domperidone suspension 0.3 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1), tid, orally 30 minutes before meals. Treatment group were treated with child anorexia granule, 1-3 years 1 package, bid; 4-6 years 1 package, tid; po, 4 weeks as a course of treatment. Study the change of serum ghrelin and leptin before and after therapy. The study demonstrates that before treatment, the serum ghrelin level of disease group was lower than healthy group (P < 0.01), and the serum leptin level was higher than healthy group (P < 0.01). After treatment, the serum ghrelin level both increase, and the serum leptin decline. And the change of treatment group was significantly different with control group (P < 0.01). And the clinical effective rate are 95.23% and 74.35% (P < 0.01). After 6 months of follow-up visit, the children weight significantly increase in treatment group (P < 0.01). Results indicate that child anorexia granule can facilitate secretion of ghrelin, and inhibit secretion of leptin, so as to work up an appetite. And the molecular mechanism is its infect on serum ghrelin, leptin.

Hangzhou urban infants were randomly treated with either wearing Sachet or not wearing Sachet for 12 weeks′ observation.We then analyzed statistically the incidence of the two groups. Results The incidence was 14.42 % in the infant observer group and 54.98% in the contrast group with statistical significance(P

Objective To explore the effect of empathy nursing on anxiety,depression and expectation of patients with myocardial infarction.Methods In our study,47 patients with myocardial infarction in the department of cardiology of our hospital from August 2013 to July 2014 were assigned as the control group and another 47 patients with the same disease during August 2014 to July 2015 as the study group.The control group received conventional nursing treatment and the study empathy nursing in addition to the conventional nursing.The two groups were compared in terms of anxiety,depression and expectation using Zung anxiety self rating scale (SAS),depression self rating scale (SDS) and Herth hope index (HHI).Results On admission,the patients in the two groups showed no differences in the levels of anxiety,depression and expectation (P＞0.05).After intervention,the levels of anxiety and depression in the study were significantly lower than those in the control group,but the level of expectation was higher (all P＜0.05).Conclusion Empathy nursing is effective for the relief of anxiety and depression in the patients with myocardial infarction as well as for their enhanced expectation for prognosis.

ObjectiveTo observe the curative effect of Xiangshaliujunzi decoction on critically ill patients with gastrointestinal dysfunction accompanied by spleen deficiency syndrome of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and its influence on tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6).Methods Forty-eight critically ill patients admitted to Department of Emergency Intensive Care Unit (EICU) in Zhejiang Provincal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Xiasha Campus from February to December 2015 were enrolled, and they were randomly divided into observation group (26 cases) and control group (22 cases) by random number table method. The patients in both groups were given routine emergency western therapy, and in the observation group, additionally, Xiangshaliujunzi decoction (ingredients: codonopsis pilosula 20 g, atractylodes macrocephala koidz 12 g, poria cocos 12 g, radix glycyrrhizae preparata 4 g, rhizoma pinelliae preparatum 6 g, pericarpium citri reticulatae 5 g, fructus amomi villosi 5 g, radix aucklandiae 4 g, rhizoma zingiberis recens 3 pieces) 80 mL was prepared and divided into two parts for nasal feeding, once 40 mL, twice a day, while the patients in the control group received the nasal feeding with the same amount of warm boiled water. Before treatment and 3 days and 5 days after treatment, the gastrointestinal function scores were assessed, and the changes of the levels of plasma TNF-α, IL-6 were recorded.Results There were no statistical significant differences in gastrointestinal function scores, the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 between the two groups before treatment and 3 days after treatment (allP ﹥ 0.05). But 5 days after the treatment, the gastrointestinal function scores, the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were obviously decreased in two groups, and the degree of decrease in observation group was more significant [gastrointestinal function score: 0.92±0.85 vs. 2.27±0.77, TNF-α (ng/L): 17.7±2.4 vs. 25.0±4.2, IL-6 (ng/L): 16.9±2.4 vs. 25.0±3.4, allP < 0.01].Conclusion Xiangshaliujunzi decoction has therapeutic effect on critically ill patients with gastrointestinal dysfunction and accompanied by spleen deficiency in TCM, the mechanism may be related to decreasing the levels of TNF-α and IL-6, thereby depressing the inflammation.

OBJECTIVETo explore the pathomorphological change of the atlanto-occipital segment of vertebral artery (V3 part) related with cervical vertigo.

METHODSFrom June 1999 to November 2011, the pathomorphological change of the atlanto-occipital segment of vertebral artery were observed in 1680 patients with cervical vertigo using 3D-CTA technology. The clinical data of these patients were analyzed. There were 783 males and 897 females, aged from 22 to 70 years old with an average of 52.8 years old. Doppler examination showed vertebral basilar artery flow velocity to speed up or slow down.

RESULTSThe blood vessel of 3360 branches were detected in 1680 patients and 2778 branches were detected out vascular anomaly. And 829 branches were in V1 segment, 421 were in V2, 328 were in V3, 1190 were in V4. The pathomorphological changes in the atlanto-occipital segment (V3) of vertebral artery included angiospasm, congenital absence, abnormal exit, localized stenosis.

CONCLUSIONThere are 4 kinds of pathomorphological changes in the atlanto-occipital segment of vertebral artery related with cervical vertigo. The 3D-CTA result can be used to judge prognosis and adopt reasonable treatment for the patients.

Flavonoids are a large family of bioactive compounds widely found in foods and plants. Mang studies have proven the preventive and therapeutic effects of flavonoids in cardiovascular disease.Flavonoids has a wide range of pharmacological effects,including antioxidant,anti-inflammatory,vaso-dilation,avoiding the thrombus formation,improving endothelial function,modifying lipid levels and regulating blood lipids through different mechanisms of action.The cardiovascular protective mechanism of flavo-noids are the enzymes that inhibit the production of oxygen derived free radicals,inhibition of lipid peroxida-tion and inflammatory factor, down-regulation of epoxy synthase activity and the activation of AMPK and nuclear factor kappa B signaling pathway. In this review article we review and summarize the so far acquired knowledge of the most important mechanisms of action of flavonoids,to provide theoretical basis for the research and development of the active monomers in flavonoid and compound preparations.
