Objectives To investigate the changes in the masseter muscle following osteotomy of the prominent mandibular angle using real-time three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography, and to supply guidance for resection of the mandibular angle. Methods Real-time 3D ultrasonography was applied preand post-operatively (over a 6-month follow-up period) to 10 patients who underwent curved osteotomy with the following objectives: (1) to reconstruct the morphological changes of the masseter under different conditions; (2) to assess masseter muscle volume changes, and (3) to obtain the dynamic morphological changes of masseter during mouth opening and closing. Results The reconstructed 3D images revealed that longitudinal diameters of masseter muscle decreased and angle regions changed to be arc-shaped with significant thinning 6 months after operation. The mean volume of masseter muscle was (18. 222 ±3. 028) cm36 months post-operatively, compared with the pre-operation mass of (25. 480 ± 7. 113) cm3,the statistical difference was significant (P<0.01). Transverse and longitudinal changes of the thickest masseter muscle section 6 months post-operatively were of no statistic difference (P>0. 01) compared with pre-operation status during mouth opening and closing motions. Conclusion A certain extent of atrophy occurs primarily in the angle region of masseter muscle after mandibular angle ostectomy. However, these changes do not significantly impair masseter muscle function. Real-time 3D ultrasonography offers a novel, safe, and convenient technique for masseter muscle reconstruction and observation of masseter muscle movement.

Through searching domestic and foreign medical journals in CNKI, Wanfang database, VIP database and Pubmed database from January of 2003 to November of 2013, 39 articles regarding musical electroacupuncture (MEA) were analyzed. The result showed that MEA was clinically used to treat neurological and psychotic disorders; because it was combined with musical therapy and overcame the acupuncture tolerability, and MEA was superior to traditional electroacupuncture. However, problems such as low research efficiency and the mechanism of MEA superiority and the musical specificity not being revealed by research design still exist. In future, large-sample multi-center RCT researches should be performed to clarify MEA clinical efficacy. With modern science and technology and optimized study design, guided by five-element theory of TCM, researches on different musical elements and characteristics of musical pulse current as well as MEA's correlation with meridians and organs should be studied, so as to make a further exploration on MEA mechanisms and broaden the range of its clinical application.

7.Effect of puerarin on learning-memory behavior and synaptic structure of hippocampus in the aging mice induced by D-galactose.
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2002;37(1):1-4
AIMTo study the effects of puerarin on learning-memory behavior of aging mice induced by D-galactose and its possible mechanism of action.
METHODSThe aging mice were induced by s.c. 0.12 g.kg-1 D-galactose for 6 weeks. The aging mice were treated with three doses of puerarin once a day for 5 weeks. The spontaneous behavior and the learning memory behavior were tested in the aging mice using open field and Y-maze at the next day after the last treatment. The structure of Gray I synaptic interface in the CA3 area of the hippocampus was quantitatively analyzed by electronic microscope and computer image processing appliance.
RESULTSCompared with the D-galactose control group, puerarin (60 mg.kg-1) was shown to increase significantly the spontaneous behavior and explorative response in the open field, and improve remarkablely the learning and memory ability of the aging mice induced by D-galactose. Meanwhile, the thickness of post-synaptic density (PSD) was increased, and the width of the synaptic cleft in the hippocampus CA3 area was shortened.
CONCLUSIONPuerarin showed an improvement effect against the memory impairment in the modelling aging-mice induced by D-galactose. A pathological alteration of synaptic interface structure in hippocampus of the mice may be involved in the effect.

OBJECTIVETo study the proliferation and apoptosis of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) on leukemic U937 cells and its possible mechanism.
METHODThe inhibitory effect of TMP on the proliferation of U937 cells was detected by CCK-8 assay. The cell apoptosis and cycle distribution were examined by the flow cytometry. The mRNA expressions of bcl-2 and P27 were determined by the Real-time PCR. Western blot was carried out to detect bcl-2, caspase-3, cyclin E1, CDK2 and P27 expressions.
RESULTTMP inhibited the proliferation of U937 cells in a dose-and-time dependent manner, with IC50 value of 160 mg x L(-1) at 48 h. In addition, TMP could induce the apoptosis of U937 cells and block the cell cycle in G0/G1 phase. According to the results of Real-time PCR and Western blot, TMP could down-regulate the expression of apoptosis-related molecule bcl-2, cycle-related protein cyclin E1 and CDK2 and up-regulate caspase-3 and P27.
CONCLUSIONTMP shows the effects in inhibiting the proliferation of leukemic U937 cells and inducing the apoptosis. Its mechanism may be related to the impacts on the cell cycle distribution, down-regulation of the bcl-2 expression, which finally activates caspase-3, starts the apoptosis path and causes the cell apoptosis.
