AIM:To compare the operation effect of 2. 2mm micro incision and 3. 0mm incision coaxial phacoemulsification.
METHODS: Patients with age - related cataract ( 90 cases, 90 eyes) were enrolled in the study from January 2012 to June 2013 in our hospital, and they were randomly divided into 2 groups:2. 2mm incision group (45 eyes of 45 cases), 3.0mm incision group (45 eyes of 45 cases). Corneal tunnel incision coaxial phacoemulsification was performed. At 1d, 1wk, 1, 3mo after operation, the visual acuity, corneal endothelial cell count, central corneal thickness, operation astigmatism were recorded.
RESULTS:One day after operation, the visual acuity of 2. 2mm incision group were significantly improved, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0. 05 ), there were no differences in two groups at 1wk, 1, 3mo after operation. No significant differences between the two groups of corneal endothelial cell counting, central corneal thickness at 1wk, 1, 3mo after operation were observed(P>0. 05). Operation source astigmatism had statistically significant difference at 1d, 1wk, 1, 3mo after operation ( P< 0. 05 ), it decreased significantly in the 2.2mm incision group.
CONCLUSION: The 2. 2mm small incision coaxial phacoemulsification with postoperative visual acuity improved more significantly, can significantly reduce the operation astigmatism.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the regulation trend of Jinxin Oral Liquid (JXOL) on the expression of negative regulatory factor of TLR3 signaling pathway SOCS1 in the lung tissue of RSV infected BALB/c mice at different time points.

METHODSTotally 75 BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 5 groups, i.e., the normal control group, the model group, the ribavirin group, the high dose JXOL group, and the equivalent dose JXOL group, 15 in each group. Each group had 3 intervention ways (I, II, and III) with 5 mice treated in each group. BALB/c mice were nasally infected with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and treated by different intervention ways. After intervention, mice were killed and their lung tissues were sampled, mRNA expression levels of RSV-M, SOCS1, and IFN-β were detected by Real time PCR. The expression of SOCSl at the protein level was detected by Western blot.

RESULTSCompared with the normal control group, the mRNA expression level of SOCS1 and IFN-β, and the protein expression level of SOCS1 increased significantly in the model group intervened by intervention I and II (all P < 0.01), but the mRNA expression level of IFN-β decreased significantly in model group intervened by intervention III (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, the mRNA expression level of RSV-M all significantly decreased in the high dose JXOL group and the equivalent dose JXOL group intervened by 3 intervention ways (all P < 0.01). The mRNA expression level of SOCS1 significantly decreased in the high dose JXOL group intervened by intervention I and III and the equivalent dose JXOL group intervened by 3 intervention ways (all P < 0.01). The mRNA expression level of IFN-β significantly decreased in the high dose JXOL group intervened by intervention I and II and the equivalent dose JXOL group intervened by intervention I (all P < 0.01), while it significantly increased in the high dose JXOL group intervened by intervention III and the equivalent dose JXOL group intervened by intervention III (all P < 0.01). The protein expression level of SOCS1 significantly decreased in the high dose JXOL group intervened by intervention I and the equivalent dose JXOL group intervened by 3 intervention ways (all P < 0.01), while it significantly increased in the high dose JXOL group intervened by intervention III (all P < 0.01). Compared with the high dose JXOL group, the mRNA expression level of RSV-M decreased significantly in the equivalent dose JXOL group intervened by intervention I and II (P < 0.01). The mRNA expression level of SOCS1 and IFN-β decreased significantly in the equivalent dose JXOL group intervened by intervention I (P < 0.01), but the mRNA expression level of IFN-β increased significantly in the equivalent dose JXOL group intervened by intervention II and III (all P < 0.01). The protein expression level of SOCS1 decreased significantly in the equivalent dose JXOL group intervened by 3 intervention ways (all P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONSJXOL could inhibit the expression of SOCS1 in the lung tissue of RSV infected BALB/c mice at different time points. Its regulatory effect might be associated with promoting the expression of interferon type I and further fighting against RSV.

OBJECTIVETo observe effects of acupuncture combined with modern rehabilitation at early stage on life self-care ability and mental state of the patient of stroke.

METHODSTwo hundred and twelve cases with stable life signs and no progress of neurological signs for 48 hours were randomly divided into an acupuncture plus rehabilitation group (group I, n = 113) and a simple acupuncture group (group II, n = 99). The group I were treated by acupuncture plus psychological therapy and movement function rehabilitation therapy, and the group II by simple acupuncture. Their life self-care ability and mental state were evaluated.

RESULTSThe score of life self-care ability in the group I was up-regulated by 17.57 points (P < 0.05) and the mental state was down-regulated by 5.86 points (P < 0.05) in average as compared with that in the group II.

CONCLUSIONAcupuncture combined with modern rehabilitation technique at early stage of stroke can significantly improve life self-care ability and mental state of the patient.

OBJECTIVETo study the mechanism of Bushen Qiangdu Recipe (BQR) for regulating osteoprotegerin receptor activator for nuclear factor kappa B ligand (OPG/RANKL) pathway in ankylosing spondylitis (AS).

METHODSThirty active AS inpatients or outpatients were recruited from Department of CM Rheumatology, China-Japan Friendship Hospital from January to May 2009. All patients were treated with BQR for 3 successive months, one dose daily, once in the morning and once in the evening. Besides, 30 healthy volunteers were recruited. The serum of patients and volunteers were collected. The osteoblast cell lines hFOB1. 19 were divided into 3 groups: the pre-treatment group, the post-treatment group, and the healthy volunteer group (as the control group). All cell lines were cultured by corresponding culture medium containing each serum. The supernatant from osteoblast cell lines was collected. The protein content of OPG/RANKL was detected using ELISA, and the protein expression of OPG/RANKL was detected using RT-PCR.

RESULTSCompared with the control group, the OPG content, the mRNA and protein expressions of OPG, and the mRNA and protein expressions of OPG/RANKL all decreased, while the mRNA expression of RANKL increased in the pre-treatment group, showing statistical difference (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the pre-treatment group, the OPG content, the mRNA and protein expressions of OPG significantly increased, and the mRNA and protein expressions of OPG/RANKL increased, while the mRNA expression of RANKL decreased in the post-treatment group, showing statistical difference (P<0.05, P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONSAS patients' serum could directly inhibit the expression of OPG in osteoblasts, promote the expression of RANKL, and down-regulate the OPG/RANKL ratio. BQR containing serum might promote the osteogenesis and inhibit the bone resorption possibly through directly up-regulating the OPG/RANKL ratio in osteoblast, thus inhibiting the differentiation and function of osteoclast.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus subtle adjustment manipulation of the cervical spine for peripheral facial paralysis.Methods: A total of 60 patients with peripheral facial paralysis who met the screening criteria were selected and divided into two groups according to the method of random number table, with 30 cases in each group. The patients in the acupuncture plus tuina group received routine treatment of acupuncture and subtle adjustment manipulation of the cervical spine, while the patients in the acupuncture group only received the same acupuncture treatment. Assessment of peripheral facial paralysis with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine was adopted for rehabilitation assessment. Results: The total effective rate of the acupuncture plus tuina group was 93.3％, while that of the acupuncture group was 70.0％, and there was a significant between-group difference (P<0.05). After treatment, the total scores of rehabilitation assessment in both groups were significantly higher than those before treatment (both P<0.05), and the score of the acupuncture plus tuina group was significantly higher than that of the acupuncture group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The treatment of acupuncture plus subtle adjustment manipulation of the cervical spine can improve the function of facial muscles in patients with peripheral facial paralysis, and its clinical efficacy is better than that of the acupuncture treatment alone.
