Objective:To explore the long-term effects of physical exercises on penicillin induced recurrent convulsion with learning and memory deficits in developing rata and its mechanism.Method:Fifty-six male SD rats(postnatal days [PD]21)were randomly divided into four groups:control group (CONT1),control plus exercises group(CONT2),convulsion group(EXP1)and convulsion plus exercises group(EXP2) ,rwenty rats were assigned for two control groups,each n=10;the surplus 36 rats were kindled by penicilln onceper d,consecutive 6d for creating convulsion models.Control rats were injected equal amount of normal sodium(NS) into abdominal cavity at the same time.The 20 qualified models of convulsion rats were randomly divided into two EXP groups.On PD39-PD43 and PD61-PD64,subjects of the four groups were tested with Morris water maze,and from PD49 to PD54.the rats of CONT2 and EXP2 were given exercises of running wheels,twice a d for consecutive 6d.The expression of glutamicacid receptor 2(GluR2)in hippocampus was detected. Result:①In the first Morris water maze test,there were significant differences of latency among four groups(F=5.56,P<0.01),and the latency of two EXP groups were significantly longer than two CONT groups(P<0.05);In the probe trial,the frequency of two EXP groups passing through target area were significantly less than that of two CONT groups.②In the second water maze test.there were significant effects of exercises on the latency of EXF2 group comparing to EXP1 group (P<0.05);the frequency of two EXP groups passing through target area were still significantly less than that of two CONT groups after exercises training(P<0.05),and there Was no significant difference between EXP1 and EXP2 groups.③In the immanohistochemical staining of GluR2,the gray values in hipocampus of two convulsion groups were significantly lower than that of two control groups(P<0.05). Conclusion:Penicillin induced recurrent convulsion could cause long-term effects on learning and memory in rats,which may be associated with down-regulated GluR2 expression in hippocampus.Physical exercises could improve learning capacity,of convulsion rats but not memory capacity.

5.Efficacy of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) for menopausal insomnia and its effect on serum hormone levels
Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2020;18(3):197-202
Objective: To explore the therapeutic efficacy and mechanism of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) for menopausal insomnia. Methods: A total of 80 patients with menopausal insomnia were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 40 cases in each group. The patients in the control group received conventional Western medication treatment, and the patients in the observation group received TEAS on the basis of conventional Western medication treatment. The treatment for both groups lasted for 4 weeks. Before and after treatment, Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and modified Kupperman scale were evaluated, and the serum levels of estradiol (E2) and follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) were measured. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated after treatment. Results: After treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05); in the control group, the improvement of PSQI score was significant (P<0.05), while the change of modified Kupperman score was insignificant (P>0.05); the PSQI and Kupperman scores in the observation group were significantly improved after treatment (both P<0.05), and there were significant differences between the observation group and the control group in PSQI and Kupperman scores (both P<0.05). After treatment, the serum E2 and FSH levels in the control group were not statistically different from those before treatment (both P>0.05); the serum E2 level was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the FSH level was decreased (P<0.05) in the observation group after treatment, and the between- group differences in serum levels of E2 and FSH were significant (both P<0.05).Conclusion: TEAS plus conventional Western medication in treating menopausal insomnia is effective, and can significantly improve the symptoms of insomnia and menopause, which may be related to the regulation of serum E2 and FSH levels.

Pleomorphic adenoma ranks first among parotid gland tumors. Surgical procedure, which includes enucleation, ex-tra-capsular resection, partial superficial parotidectomy (PSP), superficial parotidectomy (SP), and total parotidectomy (TP), remains to be the treatment of choice for pleomorphic adenoma. In the last century, physicians lacked understanding on the pathological character-istics of pleomorphic adenoma and facial neurotomia. Thus, simple enucleation of tumors has always been the major therapy for pa-tients to reduce the rate of facial nerve injury. However, postoperative recurrence was frequently observed in patients that have under-gone simple enucleation. In this study, the surgeons attempted to control the relapse rate by enlarging the scope of excision when remov-ing a pleomorphic adenoma, and by performing an extra-capsular resection procedure that was developed in the clinic. Although the tu-mor peplos was excised, the surgeons failed to control the relapse rate. SP and TP apparently decreased the relapse rate of the pleomor-phic adenomas. However, these therapies seem to be overcorrected by the aggravation of facial nerve injuries. PSP is a relatively ad-vanced technique that is currently used in parotid surgery. PSP reduces the rate of relapse and facial nerve injury, as verified by basic pa-thology research. Nevertheless, the controversy between advanced PSP and classic SP still exists. Plastic surgery, pathology research, and gene testing were used to evaluate the advantages of advanced PSP and classic SP. However, the research failed to derive a con-firmed result that can determine which treatment method is fit and unfit to treat pleomorphic adenoma. Our study reviews the trend of parotid surgery from a historic point of view.
