Objective To discuss the therapeutic effect of uterine arterial embolization in treating adenomyosis.Methods Uterine arterial embolization was performed in 80 patients with adenomyosis.The patients were followed up for 3,6,12 and 24 months after the operation.After the treatment the degree of dysmenorrhea,the menstrual flow and the uterine volume were observed and were compared with those before the treatment.Results After uterine arterial embolization the clinical symptoms were relieved in all 80 patients.The menstrual flow was markedly decreased,the anemia was obviously improved and the uterine volume was significantly reduced,while the ovary functioning was not apparently affected.The symptom of dysmenorrhea completely disappeared one month after the therapy in 76 cases and four months after the therapy in the remaining 4 cases.Conclusion Uterine arterial embolization is a mini-invasive and safe therapy with remarkable therapeutic results and few side-effects.Therefore,this treatment can significantly improve the patient's living quality.

Objective Through comparing the similarities and differences between respairing effect on rat’s gastric mucosal lesion by electroacupure (EA) at Meridian of Foot Yangming and Meridian of Foot Shaoyang, to explore the specificity of the correlation between Meridian of Foot and Stomach and the mechanism of the healing effect by EA at meridian of Foot Yangming for curing the gastric lesion. Methods Forty rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:blank group, model group, stomach tunnel group, gallbladder tunnel group. All rats (except normal group) were made model by water restraint stress (WRS). After corresponding experimental process, epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-?) of plasma, gastric mucous tissue concentration was detected with radioimmunoassay, and the expression of EGFR mRNA of above tissue was detected by the reverse transcriptase-polymease chain reaction (RT-PCR) method. Results The gastric mucosal lesion index of Foot Yangming group decreased significantly in comparison with that of other groups, while EGF, TGF-? of gastric mucous tissue concentration level of Foot Yangming group was obviously higher than that of model group and gallbladder tunnel group. EA oould up-regulate the expression gastric mucosal EGFRmRNA, and there was a more significant difference in the group by EA at Meridian of Foot Yangming than that in the model group and gallbladder tunnel group. Conclusion The curative effect of EA at points of Meridian of Foot Yangming on the gastric mucosa may be realized by the synthesis, secretion and release of the related EGF family factor, such as EGF, TGF-? and so on. Such special regulation of electroacupuncture on gastric mucosal tissue was related to the gene expression of EGFRmRNA, and that may be further mechanism of the curative effect of EA at points of Meridean of Foot-Yangming on gastric mucosal lesion. There existed corresponding correlation between Meridian of Foot Yangming and Stomach.

Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2017;41(2):162-164
[Objective]To study the clinical experience of Professor LIU Zhe treatment of essential tremor with acupuncture.[Methods]The paper states Professor LIU's understanding of treating essential tremor from the pathogenesis, acupuncture points and acupuncture manipulations, then summarizes the principle, regularity, and the features of acupuncture manipulations for Professor LIU treating essential tremor of different types of syndrome, so as to elaborate the clinical experience of Professor LIU. [Result] Professor LIU Zhe considers the age-dependent deficiency of qi and blood and insufficient liver and kidney syndrome to be a common one of essential tremor, as an experienced doctor, he distinguishes different types of syndrome from sign, tongue, pulse and so on. He places great emphasis on nourishing the bone marrow and tonifying liver and kidney. According to the symptoms select acupuncture points with the effects of nourishing the bone marrow and calming the liver to stop the wind, tonifying liver and kidney and supplementing qi and nourishing blood. Professor Liu sets a high value on selecting points of head and makes use of the point of Fengchi with unique acupuncture manipulations to relax cerebrovascular. In clinically, the curative effects are remarkable. [Conclusion]The unique method for treating essential tremor of Professor LIU gives some inspirations for clinic. It is worth of a deep study and spreading.

AIM To observe the anti hyperglycemic effect of sodium orthovanadate on type 2 diabetes rats. METHODS Rats were fed by highly fatted food to grow into obesity. Then values of plasma free fatty acid (FFA) were tested. Glucose disposal was measured with the hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp technique to assess insulin resistance in vivo. Small dose of streptozocin was injected ip with insulin resistance. Those with plasma glucose over 11 1 mmol?L -1 were assigned to type 2 diabetes model group, continually fed with sodium orthovanadate for 3 days and assayed the values of plasma glucose in fasting state. RESULTS ①Rats fed with fatted food needed more insulin to maintain normal plasma glucose, ie (0 54?0 02) U?min -1 , higher than that of normal control ( P

Bis-(3′,5′) cyclic di-guanylate (c-di-GMP) is an almost ubiquitous intracellular second messenger in bacteria.Now it is known to regulate complex physiological processes, including mobility, adhesion, virulence and biofilm formation.The level of c-di-GMP is regulated by diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) containing GGDEF domains and phosphodiesterases (PDEs) containing EAL or HD-GYP domains.Recent studies have demonstrated that HD-GYP domain protein is a novel phosphodiesterase, which is also involved in the regulation of c-di-GMP degradation.This review highlights recent advances in the structure and biochemical functions of HD-GYP domain proteins, which might help to further clarify the mechanism of c-di-GMP signal system.

Objective To analyze the clinical outcomes of Ludloff osteotomy and artificial metatarsophalangeal arthroplasty in the patients with severe hallux valgus and metatarsophalangeal joint osteoarthritis.Methods From Apr.2013 to Aug.2015,120 feet with severe hallux valgus were treated by operation in Beijing Friendship Hospital,Capital Medical University.Before operation,measured some angles,such as hallux valgus angle,intermetatarsal angle,proximal articular surficial intrinsic angle and so on in the two groups.And evaluated the patients condition by Maryland scale at the same time.Through the date,we make sure that there was no significant difference between the two groups before operation.According to the order of hospitalization,all patients were randomly divided into experimental group (n =60) and control group (n =60).The cases of experimental group were treated by Ludloff osteotomy and artificial joint replacement.The cases of control group were treated by Ludloff osteotomy and Akin osteotomy.We used the visual analogue scale,the core quality of life scale-36 and Maryland scale to record the date,such as pain,the range of motion and appearance of the metatarsophalangeal joint and the ability of daily life and sports before and after operation.Compared above categorical variables using paired T-test between before and after operation and using T-test between the two groups.Compared the rate of operative complications by Fisher's exact test between the two groups.Results Through the Maryland scale,the total excellent rate of the experimental group (91.7%) was higher than the total excellent rate of the control group (75.0%),with statistically significant (P < 0.05).The operative complication rate of experimental group (1.7%) was lower than the control group (8.3%),but without statistically significant (P >0.05).The scores of quality of life of the experimental group after treatment were significantly higher than those of the control group,with statistically significant (P < 0.05).The visual analogue scale pain score (1.61 ± 0.12) of the experimental group was significantly lower than the control group (3.68 ± 0.58),with statistically significant (P < 0.05).Conclusion The clinical outcomes of Ludloff osteotomy and artificial metatarsophalangeal arthroplasty in patients with severe hallux valgus and metatarsophalangeal joint osteoarthritis is better,high safety,less trauma and faster recovery.It is worthy of promotion and use.
