This study evaluated the efficacy of rabdosia rubescens against gingivitis and compared the therapeutic efficacy of different dosage forms of rabdosia rubescens. A multi-center, randomized, double-blind, double-simulation, positive-controlled and parallel trial was conducted. A total of 136 patients exhibiting clinical symptoms of gingivitis were enrolled. The subjects were randomly assigned to two groups: test group (n=67), in which rabdosia rubescens drop pill (960 mg) and 4 tablets of simulation agent of rabdosia rubescen were orally given to the subjects three times a day for 5 days; and control group (n=69), in which the subjects were administered the tablets of rabdosia rubescens (1000 mg) and 24 drop pills of simulation agent of rabdosia rubescens thrice daily for 5 days. The experimental protocols and diagnostic criteria were established by expert panel prior to the experiment. The clinical symptoms were graded according to the severity of the disease and quantified. The total scores and scores for each clinical symptom of gingivitis were assessed at baseline and on the 6th day post-treatment. The therapeutic efficacy was compared between the two groups and in each group itself before and after the treatment. The results showed that in the two groups, the subjects who were given rabdosia rubescens, drop pill or tablet, had a decrease in total scores and scores for each clinical symptom when compared with those before treatment (P<0.01). There was significant difference in the therapeutic efficacy between the test group and the control group with the efficacy rate being 92.54% and 79.71% respectively (P<0.05). It was concluded that rabdosia rubescens showed great promise in treating gingivitis. And rabdosia rubescens drop pill was more efficacious than rabdosia rubescens tablet.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the clinical characteristics of acute renal failure ( ARF) induced by crush syndrome after Wenchuan earthquake,and summarize the rational and effective treatment managements of this kind of ARF. Methods The case histories of 12 patients diagnosed as ARF related to the crush syndrome in Wenchuan earthquake were pigeonholed. In order to evaluate the curative effects of the clinical features,laboratorial examination,continuous renal replacement therapy ( CRRT) and cure time were ana- lyzed. Results Anaemia,fever and lung infection were frequently happened in the patients diagnosed as ARF,and the frequency was 91. 67% ,66. 67% and 58. 33% respectively. Pleural effusion and acute respiratory distress syndrome ( ARDS) were noted in 41. 67% of the patients,and the increase of transaminase was noted as 91. 67% . Hypocalcaemia,hypoproteinemia and marked increase of creatine kinase ( CK) appeared in all patients. The patients with CK value exceeded 3 000 IU/L were received CRRT,and there was marked relativity between these 2 variables ( r =0. 845) for the treatment of ARF. Although the proportion of CRRT practiced highly in patients with oliguria,fasciotomies and amputations,there was no significant difference when compared with closed injury and non-oliguria patients ( P = 0. 522 7) . Compared with patients without infections,wound infections were obviously delayed the cure time of ARF ( P = 0. 025 5) . Conclusion As compared with ARF from other causes,ARF related to the crush syndrome has unique characteristics,and easily complicates with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Among the treatments, heteropathy and renalreplacement therapy are frequently used. Thorough debridement and infection control are beneficial to renal function recovery.

Objective To explore the pattern of spontaneous neural activity in different frequency bands in Parkinson's disease(PD).Methods The blood oxygen level-dependent signals in 39 PD patients and 37 normal controls were acquired and the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation ( ALFF) in five differ-ent frequecy bands ( slow-2:0.198-0.25 Hz;slow-3:0.073-0.198 Hz;slow-4:0.027-0.073 Hz;slow-5:0.01-0.027 Hz;slow-6:0-0.01Hz) was cacaulated.A repeated-measures analysis of variance and Post hoc t-test were performed to detect differences of spontaneous activity between two groups in different frequency bands. A correlation analysis was examined between Unified Parkinson’ s Disease Rating Scale ( UPDRS) motor score and ALFF in patients with PD in each frequency band to discover the relationship between disease se-verity and spontaneous neural activity.Results Compared with the normal controls,patients with PD had decreased ALFF in the putamen(-24,-3,-9) (-30,3,0) ( -21,9,6) in the slow-3,slow-4 and slow-5, and had decreased ALFF in the left precentral gyrus (-21,-24,75) (-21,-24,72) (-27,-21,72) (-15,-15,72) and right supplementary motor area (21,-24,75) (6,-3,72) (12,-6,60) (15,-24,72) in all frequency bands except for the slow-5.Increased ALFF in the cerebellum was found in all frequency bands.The ALFF in the putamen was negatively correlated with the UPDRS motor score in the slow-3,slow-5 and slow-6.Conclusion This study shows that the abnormal activities in the striatum are significant in the slow-3,slow-4and slow-5.Most frequency bands except slow-5 are helpful in detecting neural changes in mo-tor cortex.The increased activity in the cerebellum is the common findings in all frequency bands.Multiple frequency analysis may provide insight into the pathophysiological mechanisms of PD.
