Objective: To observe the effect of puncturing Juliao (GB 29) in treating carpal joint sprain. Methods: 99 cases were randomly divided into 3 groups, treatment, control 1 and control 2 groups, 33 cases for each group. Cases in treatment group were treated by acupuncture on Juliao (GB 29); patients in control 1 group were treated by acupuncture at Sanyinjiao (SP 6), and patients in control 2 group were treated by local application. The clinical effect was compared among three groups after the treatment. Results: The effective rate in the treatment group is 96.9%, which is over and above 84.8% in control 1 group and 75.8% in control 2 group (both P＜0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture at Juliao (GB 29) has a precise curative effect in treating sprain of carpal joint. It is more effective than acupuncture at Sanyinjiao (SP 6) and local application.

Plasma thyroid hormones were measured in 8 patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). The results showed that plasma TT_3 and FT_3 levels were decreased and plasma rT_3 level tended to increase in these patients. These findings are in accord with the diagnosis of low T_3 syndrome.

Objective To improve the understanding of clinical features,pathological changes and therapy in patients of severe primary hypothyroidism accompanied with myoapthy.Methods Clinical features and prognosis of five cases of primary hypothyroidism accompanied with severe myopathy admitted to the hospital during March 1996 to November 2003 were anaylzed retrospectively by medical records combined with review of relevant literatures.Results Prominent clinical manifestations of the five patients were muscular damage,symmetrical proximal weakness of the muscles(myasthenia),shortness of breath,chest pain,dysphagia,and significant increase in activity of serum creatine phosphokinase(2 885~10 450(U/L).)Conclusions Patients of primary hypothynoidism with muscular damage should be diffrentiated from those of polymyositis and better effectiveness can be achieved for its related myopathy by timely thyroid hormone replacement therapy.

Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome MODS (MODS) is the one of the major factors,which causing the death of the severe patients.More and more research proved that there are some relatonship be-tween MODS with the cellular apoptosis and necrosis.In recent years mesenchymal stem cells has been ap-plied to a variety of diseases as seed cells in the field of rehabilitation,and shows the initial effect in treat-ment and research.Through analysis the distribution and division of mesenehymal stem cells in the body,we found it may play an important role in the treatment in the MODS.We reviewed the mechanism of the MSC dealing with the MODS.

Oncogene-induced senenscence(OIS) is defined as a stable proliferative arrest of normal cells upon overexpression of aberrant proliferative signals of oncogenes through MAPK and PI3K pathway.The molecular mechanism of OIS is related to the formation of heterochromatin and DNA-damage check-point response.The markers of OIS includ senescence-associated ?-galactosidase and senescence-associated heterochromatin foci.With the growing recognization of OIS,the new models of tumor progression are emerging.The further investigation on the mechanism of OIS is of great significance to understanding of the tumorigenesis and provide new ideas and methods of cancer treatment.

0.005.The management center of Chinese Hematopoietic Stem Cell Donor Database checked the information through the network,and there had been 20 cases of successful transplantation using stem cells donated by Heilongjiang donors by March 2007.ConclusionDistribution of HLA-A,B,DRB1 alleles and haplotypes in Heilongjiang Chinese Han is close to that in Northern Chinese Han population,similar to that of the whole Chinese Han population.

Objective To explore the effect of HIPK2 on apoptosis of human kidney tubular epithelial cells (HKC) induced by cisplatin.Methods Apoptosis of HKC cells was induced by cisplatin and the expression of HIPK2 was detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot.Two HIPK2 siRNAs were designed according to gene sequence of HIPK2 and cell lines with HIPK2 knockdown were established through transfecting the HIPK2 siRNAs into HKC cells by liposome.The expression of HIPK2 mRNA and protein was detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot after induced by cisplatin.Then cell apoptosis was detected by Annexin V/PI after the HIPK2-knockdown cells were treated with cisplatin.Moreover,the expression of pro-apoptotic protein bax was detected by Western blot after HIPK2 was knockdown.Results The expression of HIPK2 mRNA and protein was down-regulated obviously on the process of HKC apoptosis which induced by dose-dependent cisplatin (P＜0.05).The transfection of siRNA could significantly reduce the expression of HIPK2 mRNA and protein in HKC (P＜0.05),which promotes the HKC cells apoptosis induced by cisplatin.Conclusions HIPK2 can suppress the HKC cells apoptosis induced by cisplatin.
