Yaoyangguan ( GV 3 ), Shiqizhui ( Ex-B 8) and Yanglingquan (GB 34) were selected as main points and a three-part needle insertion technique was used to treat 32 cases of lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion. The curative rate was 96.9%. Deep puncture is the key to the treatment.

Modern fully automatic biochemical analyzer makes enzyme measurement accurate, specific and practical, but alarm failure happens sometimes and thus determinate error appears. To find out the inducement to alarm failure, Olympus AU2700 and ADVIA 1650 fully automatic biochemical analyzer are used to measure the serum liver enzyme from 450 cases of post-liver-transplantation patients.

Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) can effectively suppress thehuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication andsignificantly reduce morbidity and mortality of HIV-infectedpatients,which howevercan't completely remove the virus,and eventually progressinto chronic viral-infection disease.Chronic HIVinfection destroys host immune system,leading to intestinal barrier damage,intestinal mucosal dysfunction,microbial translocation,and further accelerates the disease progress.The reconstruction of intestinalmicroflora balance and improvement of intestinal mucosa function areessential to reestablish the host immune system.This paper will review the current research advanceson intestinal barrier damage of HIV infection and gut-target therapy of AIDS.The aim is to provide valid evidences for further research targeting improvement of treatment strategiesandreduction of morbidity and mortality in HIV infection.

Objective To explore the expressions of histamine receptor subtypes (H1, H2, H3, H4 receptor) in children's mid-urethral striated muscles and during mouse C2C12 striated myogenesis.Methods Children's mid-urethral striated muscle samples were paraffin embedded and tissue sections were made, then immunohistochemical staining was used to check H1, H2, H3, H4 receptors.C2C12 myogenesis was induced, the early differentiation early markers of desmin, middle marker of myogenin, late marker of myosin heavy chain and histamine 4 receptor subtype mRNA were checked by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.Immunofluorescence staining was done to check 3 differentiation markers and histamine H3 receptor protein.Results During myogenesis, the expression of desmin mRNA in the differentiation of 2,4,6 days were 12,68,60 times as many as that of the undifferentiated myoblasts;the expression of myogenin mRNA in the differentiation of 2,4,6 days were 631,1 408,914 times as many as that of the undifferentiated myoblasts;the expression of myosin heavy chain mRNA in the differentiation of 2,4,6 days were 7 718,9 448,286 288 times as many as that of the undifferentiated myoblasts.The expression level of H1 receptor mRNA in the differentiation of 6 days was about 25％ to undifferentiated cells;the expression of H2 receptor mRNA in undifferentiated cells and differentiated cells groups had no significant difference (F =1.47, P ＞ 0.05);the expression of H3 receptor mRNA in the differentiation of 2,4,6 days was 28,103,198 times to undifferentiated cells;H4 receptor mRNA was not detected.In immunofluorescence staining, H3 receptor protein staining intensity increased with the differentiation.Immunohistochemistry of pediatric urethral striated staining indicated that H1, H2, H3 receptor staining was positive,H1 receptor showed strong positive staining, H3 receptor moderate positive staining,and H2 receptor showed weak positive staining.Conclusions Histamine receptor subtypes of H1 receptor, H2 receptor and H3 receptor were found during mouse striated myogenesis and in the children's mid-urethral striated muscles.The increasing expression of H3R with myogenesis might indicate it plays a role in mature striated muscle cells.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of cinepazide maleate combined with Xueshuantong injection on the blood sup-ply of subcutaneous artery after flap transplantation. METHODS:68 patients with cross-regional combined with flap transplantation in extremity soft tissue injury were randomly divided into observation group and control group. The roast lamp irradiation in the flap transplantation and ambulation prohibited,alcohol and tobacco prohibited were carried out as rountine treatment. On this basis, control group was treated with cephalosporins,papaverine and low molecular dextran after flap transplantation. Observation group was treated with cinepazide maleate 8 ml adding into 0.9% Sodium chloride injection 250 ml by intravenous infusion,once a day+Xueshuantong injection 5 ml adding into 0.9% Sodium chloride injection 250 ml by intravenous infusion,once a day. The course for both was 14 d. The clinic data was observed,including blood rheological indicators (whole blood high cut,whole blood cut, whole blood low cut,plasma viscosity and RBC aggregation index),and coagulation function indicators [thrombin time(TT),acti-vated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),prothrombin time(PT)and GB normalized ratio(INR)] before and after 1,3 and 7 d of surgery,and the postoperative incidence of arterial vascular crisis within 7 d and adverse reactions. RESULTS:There was no sig-nificant difference in the incidence of arterial vascular crisis in 2 groups after 1 and 2 d of surgery(P>0.05);the incidence of arte-rial vascular crisis in 3,4,5,6 and 7 d in observation group was significantly lower than control group,with significant difference (P<0.05). After 3 and 7 d of surgery,blood rheological indicators and 1,3 and 7 d of coagulation function indicators in 2 groups were significantly better than before,and observation group was better than control group,with significant difference(P<0.05). There were no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Cinepa-zide maleate combined with Xueshuantong injection can effectively improve the blood rheological indicators and coagulation func-tion indicators of patients,reduce the incidence of arterial vascular crisis,with good safety.

The proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells is closely related to the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases, such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, vascular restenosis, and etc. A proper model for smooth muscle cell proliferation can be served as an important tool for exploring the molecular mechanisms of smooth muscle cell proliferation and the screening of potential inhibitory agents. Various factors can induce the proliferation of smooth muscle cells with different mechanisms and pathological significance. The ox-LDL, AGEs, angiotensin II (AngⅡ), high glucose, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and etc. have been successfully applied in the establishment of smooth muscle cell proliferation model. This article summarized the most commonly used models for smooth muscle cell proliferation. The inhibitory effects of Chinese herbal medicine, especially the isolated pure compounds were discussed. It was aimed to provide references for the screening of smooth muscle cells based medications as well as studies on related research and development of Chinese herbal medicine.

Objective To determine the effects of tacrolimus (FK506) pretreatment on the liver ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury.Methods 32 mature SD rats were randomly assigned into four groups,which were sham-operated group (S),ischemia reperfusion group (IR),low-dose FK506-treated group (L) and high-dose FK506-treated group (H).After the treatment of liver ischemia for 60 minutes and reperfusion for 6 hours,the levels of serum ALT and AST in rats were tested.The TNF-α and IL-1β levels were evaluated by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.Liver damage was assessed by paraffin sections stained with H&E.The quantitative real-time PCR,the immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to detect the expression of HMGB1 mRNA and protein with or without FK506 pretreatment.Results The levels of serum ALT [(424.0 ± 137.4)U/L,(291.0 ±42.0)U/L],AST [(554.2 ± 127.7)U/L,(410.2 ±7.0)U/L],TNF-α [(115.1±49.0)ng/L,120.4±28.5) ng/L] and IL-1β [(424.5 ±105.2) ng/L,(612.1 ± 49.6) rig/L] decreased markedly in the group L and group H compared with the group IR (P ＜ 0.05).The liver in the IR group showed hepatic sinusoids congestion,neutrophil infiltration and necrosis.In contrast,tissue damage of the L group and the H group was significantly decreased.The expressions of HMGB1 mRNA and protein reduced significantly when pretreatment with FK506 after reperfusion (P ＜ 0.01).However,there was no significant difference between the group L and group H (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion FK506 pretreatment can protect the liver by reducing the expression of HMGB1,inhibiting the release of inflammatory cytokines and alleviating cell necrosis after the liver ischemia reperfusion injury in rats.

Objective To investigate the value of SPECT imaging in the evaluation of rCBF improvement after bypass surgery in patients with moyamoya disease (MMD).Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted in 13 patients with MMD (5 children aged 3-8 years and 8 adults aged 45-55 years).The SPECT cerebral perfusion imaging data before and after operation were analyzed.Age matched subjects who underwent cerebral perfusion imaging for accidental headache (10 children,10 adults) were taken as control group.Two-sample t test or paired t test was used to compare rCBF of different groups.The brain DSA and MRI results during follow-up were taken as the reference of perfusion improvement.Results Based on visual judgment of SPECT,11/13 in MMD group showed significant improvement in the blood perfusion reduction area after surgery.The coincidence rates of SPECT-DSA and SPECT-MRI was 8/11 and 9/11,respectively.The rCBF of the control group and MMD group before surgery was (51.19±1.63) ml · 100 g-1 · min-1 and (38.83±2.22) ml · 100 g-1 · min-1 respectively (t=-18.465,P＜0.05).The rCBF of MMD group before and after surgery was significantly different ((38.83±2.22) ml · 100 g-1 · min-1 vs (45.03±2.63) ml · 100 g-1 · min-1,t=-11.707,P＜0.05).The rCBF of MMD group after surgery and the control group was significantly different (t =-8.313,P＜0.05).There was no significant difference of rCBF between the children and adults in the control group ((51.81±1.82) ml · 100 g-1 · min-1 vs (50.55±1.18) ml · 100 g-1 · min-1 ;t=0.081,P＞0.05).Conclusions Brain perfusion SPECT may effectively reflect the regional distribution and changes of blood flow in the ischemic tissue before and after MMD surgery.Thus it may be helpful in evaluation of the effect of surgical treatment.

Objective To observe traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) Huoxue Tongmai capsules (HXTMC) for the regulation of small molecule metabolites in plasma of patients with coronary heart disease and TCM blood stasis syndrome. Methods A prospective study was conducted in which 136 patients with coronary heart disease and blood stasis syndrome treated in Dagang district in Tianjin from January 2009 to December 2013 were selected and randomly divided into two groups:control group (68 cases) and HXTMC group (68 cases). The control group received the conventional oral therapy with nitrates, β receptor blockers, calcium antagonists, enteric coated aspirin, etc, and the HXTMC group received the conventional therapy and additionally oral administration of HXTMC, 4 capsules each time (each capsule 0.25 g), trice a day, 30 days constituting a therapeutic course, 3 courses in total. According to the standard of curative effect evaluation of angina pectoris in coronary heart disease, the clinic total curative effects of angina pectoris and electrocardiogram (ECG) were evaluated. The concentrations of copeptin, tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in the plasma were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the TNF-α/IL-10 ratio was calculated. Results The total clinical effective rates of patients and the ECG in HXTMC group were significantly higher than those of the control group [clinic total effective rates:89.71%(61/68) vs. 80.88%(55/68), ECG total effective rates:57.35%(39/68) vs. 48.53%(33/68), both P<0.05]. Concentration of copeptin and TNF-α/IL-10 ratio in the plasma after treatment of the both groups were significantly lower than those before treatment, and the changes were more obvious in HXTMC group [copeptin (ng/L): 0.22±0.04 vs. 0.31±0.05, TNF-α/IL-10 ratio:0.49±0.11 vs. 0.65±0.09, both P<0.05]. Conclusion Addition of HXTMC to conventional therapy for treatment of patients with coronary heart disease accompanied by blood stasis syndrome can lower the plasma level of copeptin and TNF-α/IL-10 ratio, thus it may improve the clinical curative effects of the patients.
