Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2016;35(8):926-929
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacies of electroacupuncture and Prucalopride succinate tablets in treating functional constipation.MethodForty patients were randomized into two groups, 20 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by electroacupuncture, and the control group was byoral administration of Prucalopride succinate tablets. The major symptoms scores, stool shape score, serum substance P (SP), and somotostatin (SS) were observed.ResultAfter treatment, there were no significant inter-group differences in comparing the changes of defecation frequency and difficulty scores (P>0.05), while there were significant inter-group differences in comparing the changes of incomplete bowel evacuation sensation, abdominal pain, and stool shape scores (P<0.05); the serum SP and SS levels were significantly changed after treatment in both groups (P<0.05); the total effective rate was 90.0% in the treatment group versus 85.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically insignificant (P>0.05).ConclusionElectroacupuncture and Prucalopride succinate tablets can produce equivalent efficacies in treating functional constipation, and have their own advantages in improving the relevant symptoms. Therefore, treatment should be chosen according to the disease condition.
3.Therapeutic Observation of Electroacupuncture for Functional Constipation
Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2015;(3):214-217
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture in treating functional constipation. Method Sixty patients with functional constipation were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 in each group. The treatment group was intervened by electroacupuncture, while the control group was by sham-electroacupuncture. The Clinic Constipation Score (CCS), therapeutic efficacy index, plasma NOS, and plasma 5-HT were observed before and after intervention.Result The CCS was changed significantly after intervention in both groups (P<0.05). After intervention, there was a significant difference in comparing the CCS between the two groups (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 93.3% in the treatment group versus 66.7% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The NOS and 5-HT contents were changed significantly after intervention in both groups (P<0.05). After intervention, there were significant differences in comparing the NOS and 5-HT contents between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Electroacupuncture is an effective approach in treating functional constipation, and it can improve NOS and 5-HT contents in gastrointestinal tract.
4.Progression of molecular genetics in Ph-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia: reports from the 56th American Society of Hematology annual meeting
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2015;24(2):74-78
The event free survival and overall survival rate of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)have been improved significantly based on the risk stratify diagnosis and treatment.But there are still some patients suffering therapeutic failure and relapse.With the great development of genome sequencing technology,more and more genetic aberrations behind the refractory and relapse ALL have been identified.Ph-like ALL is charactered with gene expression profile similar to that of BCR-ABL1 positive ALL,involving abnormal activation of cytokine receptor and tyrosine kinase.It has been proved that treatment combined with Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) can significantly improve the poor prognosis.Ph-like ALL is one of hot topics during the 56th American Society of Hematology (ASH) annual meeting in 2014.Progression in molecular genetics for Ph-like ALL will be introduced together with the author' s research experience.

Objective To explore the feasibility of the mixed- or single-application of etomidate and propofol during modified electroconvulsive therapy (MECT). Methods Ninety hospitalized schizophrenics undergoing MECT were randomly assigned to 3 groups which were respectively anesthetized with mixed liquor application of etomidate and propofol (group E-P), etomidate (E) or propofol (P). Charge delivered (CD), EEG seizure duration (ESD), postictal suppression index (PSI), seizure energy index (SEI) and seizure generalization index (SGI) were recorded. Mental status and memory levels were assessed with the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS) before and after treatment. The adverse reactions were recorded. All data were analyzed with the software SPSS12.0. Results The ESD, PSI, SEI, SGI and WMS scores, and the minus score of PANSS were significantly higher (P < 0.05) and CD was lower (P < 0.05) in group E-P than those in group P. No significant alteration between group E-P and group E (P > 0.05). The adverse reactions such as nausea/vomiting and secretion increase in group E-P were lower than those in group E (P < 0.05). The injection pain of group E-P was lower than that of group P (P<0.05). Conclusion The mixed liquor of etomidate and propofol has an advantage over the single-application of the two drugs during MECT.
