Functional constipation (FC) is a common functional bowel disorder disease that affects life quality of a large number of people. This study aimed to explore the impact of different intensities of electro-acupuncture (EA) treatment for FC patients. Totally, 111 patients with FC meeting the Rome III criteria were randomly assigned to different intensities of EA groups (low and high intensity of EA groups) and medicine-controlled (MC) group. In EA groups, patients were treated with EA at quchi (LI11) and shangjuxu (ST37) bilaterally for 4 weeks, 5 times/week in the first 2 weeks, and 3 times/week in the last 2 weeks. In MC group, 5 mg mosapride citrate was administered orally 3 times/day for 4 weeks. Spontaneous bowel movement frequency each day was recorded using a constipation diary. Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were used to assess the patients' psychological state. Cortisol (CORT), substance P (SP), and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) were evaluated at baseline and at the end of 4 weeks after treatment. As compared with the baseline, there was statistically significant increase in stool frequency every week (P<0.01), but there was no statistically significant difference among the three groups. As compared with the baseline, after 4 weeks of EA therapy, the scores of SDS and serum levels of CORT were decreased significantly in low intensity of EA group (P<0.01), and the serum levels of SP and VIP were increased significantly (P<0.05); the scores of SAS and SDS and serum levels of CORT were decreased significantly in high intensity of EA group (P<0.05), and the serum levels of SP and VIP were increased significantly (P<0.05); the serum levels of CORT and VIP were increased significantly in MC group (P<0.05). As compared with MC group, after 4 weeks of treatment, the serum levels of SP were signifcicantly increased in low intensity of EA group (P<0.01). Low and high intensities of EA could increase the stool frequency, improve the FC patient's anxiety and depression, reduce the serum levels of CORT, and increase the serum levels of SP and VIP effectively. It is concluded that both low and high intensities of EA are effective for FC patients, but there is no significant difference between the low and high intensities of EA.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by the accumulation of active BCR-ABL protein.Imatinib is the first-line treatment of CML;however,many patients are resistant to this drug.In this study,we aimed to compare the differences in expression patterns and functions of time-series genes in imatinib-resistant CML cells under different drug treatments.GSE24946 was downloaded from the GEO database,which included 17 samples of K562-r cells with (n=12) or without drug administration (n=5).Three drug treatment groups were considered for this study:arsenic trioxide (ATO),AMN107,and ATO+AMN107.Each group had one sample at each time point (3,12,24,and 48 h).Time-series genes with a ratio of standard deviation/average (coefficient of variation) >0.15 were screened,and their expression patterns were revealed based on Short Time-series Expression Miner (STEM).Then,the functional enrichment analysis of time-series genes in each group was performed using DAVID,and the genes enriched in the top ten functional categories were extracted to detect their expression patterns.Different time-series genes were identified in the three groups,and most of them were enriched in the ribosome and oxidative phosphorylation pathways.Time-series genes in the three treatment groups had different expression patterns and functions.Time-series genes in the ATO group (e.g.CCNA2 and DAB2)were significantly associated with cell adhesion,those in the AMN107 group were related to cellular carbohydrate metabolic process,while those in the ATO+AMN107 group (e.g.AP2M1) were significantly related to cell proliferation and antigen processing.In imatinib-resistant CML cells,ATO could influence genes related to cell adhesion,AMN107 might affect genes involved in cellular carbohydrate metabolism,and the combination therapy might regulate genes involved in cell proliferation.
