China Pharmacist 2016;19(5):836-838
Objective:To study the protective effect and possible mechanism of salvianolic acid B in GK rats complicated with macroangiopathy. Methods:Totally 32 GK rats were randomly divided into four groups:the model group and low,middle and high dose salvianolic acid B groups(40,80 and 160 mg·kg - 1 ),and 8 Wistar rats were used as the normal group. All of GK rats were giv-en high-glucose and high-fat diet. After 16 weeks,GK rats were orally administrated with 10 mg·kg - 1 ·d - 1 N-ω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester for 8 weeks. At the beginning and the end of the experiment,blood glucose and blood pressure were measured,abdominal aortic blood was collected after anesthesia,thoracic aorta was used to make paraffin sections after bloodletting to observe vasculopathy and the expression of VEGF was detected by Western-blot. Results:The blood glucose was increased in all GK rats with no statistical significance between the drug group and the model group(P > 0. 05). At the end of the experiment,the blood pressure was significant-ly increased in GK rats,indicating that salvianolic acid B could notably reduce the blood pressure in GK rats in a dose-dependent man-ner with statistical significance(P < 0. 05);and it could also remarkably reduce the total white blood cell count and differential blood count,and ameliorate the lesion extent and reduce VEGF expression. Conclusion:Salvianolic acid B has protective effects on aorta in GK rats,and its mechanism may be related with blood pressure lowering,anti-inflammation and reduction of VEGF expression.
2.Treatment of 90 Cases of Simple Obesity with Intermuscular Needling Method
Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2006;4(1):35-36
The patient takes a supine position, 10-20 needles were inserted thickly with intermuscular needling method in the two rounds, whose centers were both Tianshu (ST 25) and radii were 2 cun. Then, the electric acupuncture apparatus was connected. Meanwhile,bilateral Yanglingquan (GB 34), Sanyinjiao (SP6), Taichong (LR 3), Quchi (LI 11) and Zhigou (TE 6) were needled. Total 60 cases of obesity were treated with these methods, and 30 cases with conservative acupuncture as a control. The treatment results showed that the effective rates were 91.7% and 70.0%, respectively in the two groups.
3.Effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine Ruanganyin on TGF-1/Smad Signaling Pathway in Carbon Tetrachloride-induced Hepatic Fibrosis of Rats
Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2006;0(02):-
[Aim]To study the effects of Ruanganyin on TGF-1,Smad3,Smad7 expressions of the experimental hepatic fibrosis induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in rats,and to explore its anti-fibrotic molecular mechanism.[Method] Forty healthy Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group,vacant control group,CCl4-induced hepatic fibrosis group,and Ruanganyin treated group.The rats in normal group were treated with normal saline by intragastrical irrigation,and the other groups were subcutaneous injected with CCl4 to establish hepatic fibrosis model.The histological changes of the liver tissues were examined by pathological examination.The protein expression of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-1) and Smad3,Smad7 were measured by immunohistochemical technique.[Result] In comparison with those inmodel group,the levels of TGF-1 were significantly decreased after treatment with Ruanganyin.Meanwhile,the levels of Smad3 was also down-regulated.However,the level of Smad7 expression was significantly up-regulated.The pathological changes of liver tissues in Ruanganyin groups were also markedly alleviated.[Conclusion] Ruanganyin has significant inhibitory effects on CCl4-induced hepatic fibrosis in rats,and its mechanism may be associated with the inhibition of TGF-1 expression,down-regulation of Smad3 expression and up-regulation of Smad7 expression.
4.Efficacy of targeted monitoring and bundle intervention measures on surgi-cal site infection following total abdominal hysterectomy
Chinese Journal of Infection Control 2016;15(12):949-951,955
Objective To investigate the incidence of surgical site infection(SSI)and compliance to bundle inter-vention measures on SSI following total abdominal hysterectomy in patients in department of gynaecology of a tertia-ry first-lass hospital,and evaluate the efficacy of bundle intervention measures in prevention and control of SSI. Methods From March 2014 to October 2015,all gynecology patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy were as targeted monitored subjects,March-September 2014 was baseline investigation stage,October 2014 to Oc-tober 2015 was intervention stage(new bundle intervention measures were performed),compliance to bundle inter-vention measures and incidence of SSI before and after intervention were compared.Results A total of 222 episodes of total abdominal hysterectomy were monitored,the incidence of SSI was 5 .86% ,the operation P75 time were 2 hours. Compared with the baseline stage,the compliance to most traditional intervention measures improved after intervention,the largest increase in the compliance to interventions was follow-up after surgery (increased by 64.16% ),followed by preoperative perineal disinfection(increased by 39.07% )and hand hygiene(increased by 21 .34% ). Compliance to new intervention measures was 100.00% . Incidence of SSI following total abdominal hys-terectomy after intervention was significantly lower than before intervention(2.27% [3/132]vs 11.11% [10/90]), difference was significant (χ2= 7.583,P<0.05).Conclusion Targeted monitoring on SSI following total abdomi-nal hysterectomy can improve compliance to bundle intervention measures and decrease incidence of SSI.
8.Retrospective study of PEFC chemotherapy regimen on primary carcinoma of fallopian tube
China Oncology 2001;0(03):-
Purpose:To investigate the therapeutic effect of PEFC chemotherapy regimen (cisplatin or carboplatin,etoposide,fluorouracil and cyclophosphamide) on primary carcinoma of fallopian tube.Methods:41 patients with primary carcinoma of fallopian tube were divided into two groups: 20 patients in PEFC group received PEFC chemotherapy; 21 patients in CAP group received CAP chemotherapy. The therapeutic effects of the two groups were compared.Results:1 , 3 , 5 year progression free survival rate of PEFC group and CAP group were: 100%, 67.34%, 67.34%; 76 19%, 51 88%, 45 40% respectively ( P
9.Advances of ultrasound elastography to assess liver fibrosis
Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery 2012;18(2):158-160
Accurate assessment of liver fibrosis plays an important role in its treatment options,monitoring and clinical prognosis.Ultrasound elastography indirectly assesses liver fibrosis by non-invasively detecting the stiffness of liver parenchyma,with the advantages of high accuracy and easy operation,ultrasound elastography is gradually challenging the gold standard fine needle aspiration biopsy to assess liver fibrosis.This paper reviews the clinical value of ultrasound elastography in evaluating liver fibrosis.
10.Effect of the miracle questions in solution-focused brief therapy on memory tend and emotional stage in college students
Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2014;(11):1030-1032
Objective To evaluate the effect of the miracle questions in solution?focused brief therapy on memory tend and emotional stage in a non?clinical situation in college students. Methods A quasi?experimental design was adopted,and two kinds of materials for self?coaching( solution?focused,problem?focused) were devel?oped according to the previous researches. Seventy?two subjects were randomly divided into two groups,receiving the miracle questions in solution?focused brief therapy( The miracle question group,thirty?six subjects) or problem?focused coaching intervention(problem?focused group,thirty?six subjects).Exception memories number and positive and negative emotion level were evaluated between the two groups. Results The subjects receiving the miracle question group write more exception memories (3.67±2.07) than problem?focused group (1.61±1.18) ( t=5.178, P<0.01) . There was no significant difference in the positive and negative emotion level between the two groups(P>0.05) . Conclusion The miracle questions in solution?focused brief therapy can trigger the subjects to exceptional memories .This suggests that in practical application,questions order has impact on the effect of consultation. Be?fore asking exception question,miracle questions should be asked in the use of solution?focused intervention.
