OBJECTIVETo observe the differences in timely effectiveness of immediate analgesia on acute migraine between electroacupuncture (EA) at shaoyang meridian points and non-meridian points.
METHODSThe randomized controlled trial method was adopted. One hundred and ten cases of acute migraine were randomized into two groups. 55 cases in each one. In the observation group, EA was applied to Fengchi (GB 20), Waiguan (TE 5), etc. In the control group. EA was applied to non-meridian points. Only one treatment was given, and the nee dies were retained for 30 min in the two groups. Separately. at 10 time points, named before acupuncture, in 5 min, 10 min. 20 min and 30 min (at the moment of needle removal), 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h and 8 h after acupuncture, the pain intensity numerical rating scale (PI-NRS) was adopted to evaluate the pain severity and the adverse reac tion was recorded.
RESULTS(1) The effective rate of imnmediate analgesia was 87. 3% (48/55) in the observation group. significantly higher than 52.7% (29/55) in the control group (P<0.01). (2) NRS of each group was re duced at each time point, from 5 min to 8 h after acupuncture (all P<0.01). (3) NRS score at 30 min after acu puncture in the control group was obviously lower than that in the observation group (P<0.05), but the scores in 2 h, 4 h, 6 h and 8 h after acupuncture in the observation group were lower apparently than those in the control group (all P<0. 01). The differences in the scores in 5 min, 10 min, 20 min and 1 h after acupuncture were not significant (all P>0. 05). (4) For the reducing amplitude of NRS score at the same time point after acupuncture, the results in 20 min, 30 min and 1 h in the control group were higher apparently than those in the observation group (all P<0. 05). But, in 2 h, 4 h, 6 h and 8 h, the results in the observation group were higher apparently than those in the control group (all F<0.05). The differences in 5 min and 10 min after acupuncture were not significant (both P>0. 05). (5) In 24 h after acupuncture, the recurrence rate of migraine was 12. 7% (7/55) in the observation group, which was lower obviously than 34. 5% (19/55) in the control group (P<0. 05). The adverse reaction was not found in the two groups.
CONCLUSIONEA at the shaoyang meridian points achieves the definite immediate analgesia effect on acute migraine and presents the time effectiveness of analgesia.

Objective:To investigate the arginine (Arg) sites in splicing factor 2/alternative splicing factor (SF2/ASF) methylated by protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1). Methods:Wild-type and Arg93,Arg97,Arg109 mutant SF2/ASF plasmids were constructed,and GST-PRMT1,GST-SF2/ASF and arginine mutant GST-SF2/ASF fusion proteins were induced and purified. Methylation activity of PRMT1 on wild-type or mutant SF2/ASF protein and methylated sites of SF2/ASF were examined by methylation assay. The effect of SF2/ASF methylation on its subcellular localization was analyzed by immunofluorescence assay.Results:PRMT1 induced methylation of SF2/ASF at arginine,and PRMT1 did not methylate SF2/ASF when SF2/ASF was mutant at Arg93,Arg97 or Arg109,with Arg97 mutation showing the most profound inhibitory effect. Methylation of SF2/ASF did not affect its subcellular localization.Conclusion:SF2/ASF is a newly identified substrate of PRMT1; Arg93,Arg97 and Arg 109 are the three methylation sites in SF2/ASF,and Arg97 is the main methylation site. Methylation of SF2/ASF does not affect its subcellular localization.

Objective To explore the clinical features and diagnostic method of primary natural killer( NK)/T cell meningeal lymphoma. Methods An unusual case of a 19-year-old male with primary NK/T cell meningeal lymphoma was reported. His clinical presentation and laboratory findings were discussed. The related literatures have been reviewed. Results The patient presented with diplopia,headache, vomiting and facial drooping at the onset, followed by progressive pain and weakness of the four limbs. Cerebrospinal fluid showed significant increase in pressure, leukocytes number, levels of protein,normal glucose and adenosine deaminase, negative tuberculosis antibody and sterile staining. In cerebrospinal fluid cytological analysis, May-Grunwald-Gimsa staining showed large number of atypical lymphocytes with irregular nucleus and nuclear fission, Ki-67 immunostaining showed extensive proliferative activity of the lymphoid cells. Flow cytometric immunophenotypic analysis of cerebrospinal fluid indicated 97. 98 percent of cells expressed surface CD3, CD7, CD56, CD2, CD5, and partially expressed CD8. This was a rare immunophenotype for NK/T-cell. Cranial MRI with gadolinium showed thickening of the trigeminal nerve with slight enhancement and diffuse leptomeningeal enhancement. CT of the chest and abdomen and bone marrow biopsies were negative. He was diagnosed as primary NK/T cell meningeal lymphoma based on the clinical features and related examination. Conclusions Primary NK/T cell meningeal lymphoma is a rare type of primary central nervous lymphomas which has special immunophenotype. The clinical features include progressive raised intra-cranial pressure, multiple cranial and spinal nerve involvements. Cerebrospinal fluid cytological analysis and flow cytometric immunophenotypic analysis are key work-up for diagnosis. It has poor response to chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

OBJECTIVEGenistein could inhibit the development of atherosclerosis. This study explored the role of PI3K/AKT signaling during genistein promoted eNOS activation.
METHODSHuman umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were incubated with ox-LDL (100 mg/L), then treated with genistein (100 nmol/L) for 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 min. The production of NO was assessed by Griess reaction in cell culture supernatant. The mRNA expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The protein expression of eNOS and phosphorylation eNOS(Ser(1179)) were determined by Western blot. The effect of genistein on phosphorylation eNOS(Ser(1179)) level was also observed in the presence of LY294002 or NSC154020 (PI3K and AKT inhibitors).
RESULTSThe concentration of NO and the expression level of phosphorylation eNOS(Ser(1179)) were significantly increased in ox-LDL + genistein treated cells than ox-LDL treated cells (all P < 0.05), and the peak effects were observed at 15 min, however, eNOS mRNA and non-phosphorylated eNOS protein expression were similar between the two groups (P > 0.05). Furthermore, the expression level of phosphorylation eNOS(Ser(1179)) was significantly lower in PIK3/AKT inhibitors LY294002 and NSC154020 treated cells compared with ox-LDL + genistein treated cells (all P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONGenistein could promote the activity of eNOS through increasing phosphorylation eNOS(Ser(1179)) level through PI3K/AKT pathway.

BACKGROUND:MRI characterized as non-invasion, high resolution, high sensitivity and specificity to injury has become another important means for diagnosis of knee joint disease folowing the arthroscopy. OBJECTIVE: To explore the effective evaluation on the knee meniscus injury diagnosis, by comparing the results of MRI and arthroscopy of the knee meniscus. METHODS: Clinical data of 206 patients with meniscus injury were retrospectively analyzed. Every case was subjected to MRI and the arthroscopy. The findings of arthroscopy were considered as the golden standard. Then, the sensitivity, specificity and coincidence rate of MRI in the diagnosis of meniscus injury were calculated. The chi-square analysis was used to evaluate the MRI and arthroscopy in the diagnosis of meniscus injury. The Kappa values were used to test the consistency of MRI with arthroscopy in the diagnosis of meniscus injury. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:For levels 0 and I meniscus injury, the coincidence rate of MRI was 97%; for level II meniscus injury, the coincidence rate of MRI was 91.1%, and there was no significant difference (P > 0.05). For level III meniscus injury, the sensitivity, specificity, concordance rate and Youden index of MRI were 92.9%, 94.4%, 93.7% and 87.3%, respectively. By the consistency checking, the value of Kappa was 0.874 and χ2 so there was a high consistency checking between the data of MRI and arthroscopy (P=0.000). MRI is a noninvasive diagnostic method for meniscus injury. For patients with levels I and II meniscus injury on MRI, arthroscopy should be cautiously adopted; however, for patients with level III meniscus injury on MRI, arthroscopy should be done as early as possible. Arthroscopic observation is more intuitive that enables to make accurate judgments of meniscus injury to reduce the rate of misdiagnosis.

Objective To study the different types of medication guidance for community doctors in the context of essential medicine system,and analyze its influencing factors.Methods SPSS 1 9.0 was called into play for statistical analysis of data gathered,and the medication guidance behavior of the doctors were graded on the two dimensions of personal willingness and practical action.With important quadrant method,the medication guidance behavior of such doctors was classified,while the multiple linear regression was used to study the influencing factors.Results Most of the community doctors of the fourteen counties fall into the area of “high willingness and less action”,with only a few falling into the area of the “high willingness and more action”. Major influencing factors of their willingness on medication guide were found to include impacts on job autonomy,attention to essential medicine system, and the forms to improve income.Major factors of the doctors'actions on medication guide include awareness of essential medicines,awareness of essential medicines catalog,and training outcomes. Conclusion The community doctors have high personal willingness for medication guidance related to essential medicines,but only a number of them carried it in their work.Therefore,it is necessary to take actions to strengthen awareness of the doctors for medication guidance and encourage them to carry it out.
