Objective To study the effect of gastrin, motilin of chronic atrophic gastritis model in rats by acupuncturing at back-shu points. Methods 60 SD rats were randomly divided into blank control group, model control group, omeprazole group, back-shu points group, with 15 rats in each group, and to establish the model of chronic atrophic gastritis by irregular diet that given rats odd and even days. The blank control group, model control group were fed with normal saline, 2ml/time, 1 time/day. The omeprazole group was given oral gavage(Omeprazole 0.44 mg/kg, Clarithromycin 6.92 mg/kg, Metronidazole 7.6 mg/kg), 1 time/day. Back-shu points group received acupuncture at “Geshu”“Ganshu”“Pishu”“Weishu”“Shenshu”, retaining 15 min, 1 time/day. After 30 days, the content of ELSIA was used to detect the serum gastrin, motilin. Results ①GAS of model control group(54.25±5.70)pg/ml was significantly decreased compared with blank control group(66.63± 5.99)pg/ml, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared with the model control group, GAS content of omeprazole group(62.70±8.55)pg/ml and back-shu Points group(66.27±3.79)pg/ml were higher, showed significant differences(P<0.05). ②MOT of model control group(223.60±17.83)pg/ml was significantly increased compared with the blank control group(188.45 ± 8.90)pg/ml, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). MOT of omeprazole group(200.16 ± 4.38)pg/ml and back-shu Points group(190.11±10.04)pg/ml were lower than those in the model control group, there was statistically significant difference(P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncturing at back-shu acupoints can increase the content of GAS, reduce content of MOT, regulate gastrointestinal hormone in rats of chronic atrophic gastritis model.

Objective: To study the constituents from the sea cucumber Holothuria nobilis. Methods: The compounds of the sea cucumber were separated by multi-chromatography and their structures were elucidated by physico-chemical and spectral analyses. Results: Two new triterpene glycosides were isolated and their structures have been deduced by extensive spectral analysis (IR, 2D-NMR, and ESI-MS) and chemical structures as 3-O-{3″″-O-methyl-β-D- glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D- quinovopyranosyl-(1→2)-4′-O-sulfate-β-D-xylopyranosyl} -holosta-22, 25-epoxy-9-ene-3β, 12α, 17α, 25β-tetraol- sodium salt (nobiliside I, 1) and 3-O-{β-D-quinovopyranosyl-(1→2) 4′-O-sulfate-β-D-xylopyranosyl}-holoshillaside 18 (16)-lactone-22, 25-epoxy-9-ene-3β, 12α, 17α-triol sodium (nobiliside II, 2). Conclusion: Two aglycons are both new compounds named nobiliside I and nobiliside II.

Objective: To study the constituents from the sea cucumber, Stichopus variegatus. Methods: The crude saponins of S. variegatus were desulfated with pyridine-dioxane (1:1), the desulfated products were separated by multi-chromatography to afford two compounds. Results: On the basis of chemical methods and spectral evidences, especially 2D-NMR and ESI-MS, these two compounds were identified as 3-0-[β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→2)-4′-O- sulfate-β-D-xylopyranosyl]-holosta-9-ene-3β,12α,17α, 25β-tetraol sodium salt, named as variegatuside A (1) and 16β-acetoxy-3-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-holosta-22,25-epoxy-9-ene-3β, 12α,17α-triol, named as variegatuside B (2). Conclusion: Compounds 1 and 2 are new compounds.

Platelet-rich plasma(PRP) is a highly-concentrated plasma enriched in platelets and various growth factors. These growth factors will be released abundantly by platelets when PRP is activated by thrombin, which plays a key role in accelerating wound healing, bone repair, and meanwhile, in controlling of inflammatory process. Biocompatibility and versatility of PRP have been confirmed in clinical studies as well as its excellent effects on tissue reparation. These have lead to the extensive use of PRP in many medical fields as a therapeutic alternative. Mechanism of PRP in bone and tissue repair the application of PRP in the field of orthopedics is reviewed in this article. In addition, attempt is made to discuss about some problems still existing in the clinical application of PRP.

Eighty-seven patients with hyperthyroidism were enrolled in a retrospective study,and 35.6％ of them also suffered from pulmonary hypertension(PH).Advanced age and systolic or diastolic dysfunction of left heart were risk factors in the mechanism of PH associated with hyperthyroidism (all P＜0.05).However,autoimmune disorder was found as a non-related factor in the mechanism of PH(P＞0.05).

As a member of homeobox gene family,HOXA5 is expressed in many organs and can regulate gene expression,cell differentiation and morphogenesis.Its structure and (or) function abnormalities are closely related to the development of leukemia,breast cancer,brain hemangioma,hepatocellular carcinoma and so on.Researching the relationships between HOXA5 and tumors contributes to cancer diagnosis,treatment and prevention.

Objective To study the change of pancreatic microcirculation in the early phase of acute pancreatitis. Methods Literatures on acute pancreatitis and microcirculation were collected and reviewed.Results Pancreatic microcirculation has changed in the early phase of acute pancreatitis, including contraction of interlobular arteriole, slowing of blood fluid, increasing of pancreatic vascular permeability, leukocyte adherence in postcapillary venules, and decreasing of pancreatic perfusion.Conclusion Impairment of pancreatic microcirculation in the early phase of acute pancreatitis may play a key role in the progression of this disease.

Objective To study the effect of fetal transplants on the fu nctional recovery after spinal cord transection in new born and adult rats. Meth ods The spinal cord tissue at E14 of a rat fetal was transferred into the hemise ction cavity at lumbar spinal cord in the newborn and adult rats. 4, 8, 12 weeks after the operation, spinal cord tissue morphology, combined behavioral score ( CBS), somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP), and motor evoked potentials (MEP) w ere examined. Results The transplanted tissue survived in the host spinal cord. There was a statistical difference in CBS between the newborn graft group and th e adult graft group. The peak latencies of early waves in SEPs and MEPs of the n ewborn graft group were superior to those of the adult graft group (P

Objective: To make further evaluation on the efficacy and safety of Chuan Shen Tong Injection (CSTI) on benign prostatic hyperplasia with blood-stasis syndrome.

M channel, a voltage-dependent potassium channel, has been found in a variety of neurons. It is activated near the threshold of neuron action potential,producing a primary K~+ current, namely the M-current. The M-current can be modulated by many neurotransmitters and hormones, which can influence neuron excitability, conduction and neurotransmitter release. This review discusses the signal transduction pathway from G_~ q/11 activation to intracellular calcium, membrane phospholipid and phosphokinase, and explains the mechanism of M-current modulation by neurotransmitters.
