OBJECTIVETo compare the difference in the clinical efficacy on benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) between the acupuncture-moxibustion therapy and the medication of Qianliekang tablets.

METHODSOne hundred and twenty-eight patients were randomized into an acupuncture-moxibustion group and a Qianliekang group, 64 cases in each one. In the acupuncture-moxibustion group, acupuncture was applied to Shenshu (BL 23), Pangguangshu (BL 28), Zhongji (CV 3), Guanyuan (CV 4) and Shuidao (ST 28), and the warm moxibustion therapy with moxa stick was used at Shenshu (BL 23), Guanyuan (CV 4) and Shenque (CV 8), once every day. In the Qianliekang group, Qianliekang tablets were prescribed for oral administration, 4 tablets each time, three times a day, for 3 months. The International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS) and the changes in residual urine (Ru) and maximal urine flow rate (Qmax) determined with the ultrasonic B test were compared before and after treatment in the two groups.

RESULTSThe results of I-PSS, Qmax and Ru were improved obviously after treatment as compared with those before treatment in the two groups (all P < 0.05). The improvements in the acupuncture-moxibustion group were much more obvious than those in the Qianliekang group [8.62 +/- 2.18 vs 15.26 +/- 2.81, (16.04 +/- 4.33) mL/s vs (12.47 +/- 2.13) mL/s, (10.43 +/- 2.14) mL vs (32.13 +/- 3.24) mL, all P < 0.01]. The total effective rate was 89.1% (57/64) in the acupuncture-moxibustion group, which was better than 68.7% (44/64) in the Qianliekang group.

CONCLUSIONAcupuncture-moxibustion therapy achieves the significant efficacy on BPH, which is better than the oral administration of Qianliekang tablets.

[Objective] To review the treatment of metabolic syndrome from phlegm and stasis, so as to provide effective ideas for the treatment of metabol-ic syndrome.[Method] Through searching for literatures related to Chinese medicine treatment of metabolic syndrome in the last decade, we can summarize the role of phlegm and blood stasis in the metabolic syndrome and its relationship with various components of metabolic syndrome. We can also research the application of the resolving the phlegm and removing blood stasis in the metabolic syndrome. [Results] Phlegm, blood stasis consistently run through the metabolic syndrome, and have a close relationship with each component of metabolic syndrome. The prescription of resolving the phlegm and remov-ing blood stasis can not only improve the clinical symptoms, but also can improve obesity-related indicators, reduce blood glucose, increase insulin sensitiv-ity, improve endothelial function and so on. [Conclusion] Treating metabolic syndrome from phlegm and stasis is safe and effective, which can reverse dia-betes, insulin resistance and prevent cardiovascular events through multi-channel, multi-level, multi-target. It has a broad application prospect and is worth further in-depth study.

The quiescence of radial neural stem cells (rNSCs) in adult brain is regulated by environmental stimuli. However, little is known about how the neurogenic niche couples the external signal to regulate activation and transition of quiescent rNSCs. Here, we reveal that long-term excitation of hippocampal dentate granule cells (GCs) upon voluntary running leads to activation of adult rNSCs in the subgranular zone and thereby generation of newborn neurons. Unexpectedly, the role of these excited GC neurons in NSCs depends on direct GC-rNSC interaction in the local niche, which is through down-regulated ephrin-B3, a GC membranebound ligand, and attenuated transcellular EphB2 kinase-dependent signaling in the adjacent rNSCs. Furthermore, constitutively active EphB2 kinase sustains the quiescence of rNSCs during running. These findings thus elucidate the physiological significance of GC excitability on adult rNSCs under external environments and indicate a key-lock switch regulation via cellcell contact for functional transition of rNSCs.

Objective To examire the effects of hydroxyethyl starch (HES 200/0.5 6%) on lung capillary permeability in endotoxemic rats.Methods Forty-two male Wistar rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly divided into 7 groups with 6 animals in each group: group 1 served as control; group 2 received lipopolysaecharide (LPS) 6mg?kg-1 intraperitoneally (i.p.); in group 3-6 1 min after LPS 6 mg?kg-1 i.p. HES 3.75 ml?kg-1 (group 3), 7.5 ml? kg-1 (group4), 15 ml? kg-1 (group 5) or 30 ml?kg-1 (group 6) was infused i. v. at a rate of 0.2 ml ? min-1 ; group 7 received only HES 30 ml ? kg . The animals were anesthetized with urethane. Right external jugular vein was cannulated for continuous intravenous infusion. Animals were sacrificed at 2 h and 4 h after LPS challenge respectively. Lung capillary permeability, lung wet/dry weight ratio and lung PMN accumulation were measured at 4 h after LPS challenge and nuclear factor Kappa B (NF-?B) activation in the lungs at2 h after LPS challenge.Results HES 3.75 ml?kg-1 and 7.5 ml ? kg-1 significantly reduced LPS-induced increase in lung capillary permeability, lung wet/dry weight ratio and lung PMN accumulation ( P

Objective To discuss the effects of Danshen Chuanxiongqin injection on oxidative stress and cardiac function in patients with acute myocardial infarction after PCI. Methods A total of 84 patients with acute myocardial infarction underwent PCI treatment, patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group. The two groups received oral clopidogrel and aspirin before operation, and two prevention and treatment of myocardial infarction were given after operation. The treatment group was treated with Danshen Chuanxiongqin injection on the basis of the control group.The two groups were detected with superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), cardiac troponin I (TnT), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), plasma brain natriuretic peptide (brain natriuretic, peptide, BNP) level in PCI after surgery before and after PIC 12 and PIC after 7 days.The left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) and ejection fraction (LVEF) were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results Postoperative 12h, two groups of indicators were elevated. After the treatment of 7D, the treatment group MDA, TnT, CK-MB, BNP, significantly lower than the control group, SOD, NO, higher than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Heart color index, LVEDD and LVEF were improved in the two groups, but there was no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion Danshen Chuanxiongqin injection can effectively scavenge free radicals, inhibit oxidative stress, alleviate inflammation and improve ischemia-reperfusion injury and cardiac function in patients with acute myocardial infarction after PCI.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of Leukotriene receptor antagonist combined with Gluco-corticoid nasal spray(called“intranasal steroid”for short)in the treatment of different degree of adenoidal hypertrophy(AH)com-plicated with allergic rhinitis (AR). METHODS:240 AR children with AH were randomly divided into control group,intranasal steroid group and drug combination group,with 80 cases in each group. Control group was given physiological seawater,3 presses each nostrile,in the morning and evening. The intranasal steroid group received Momestasone furoate nasal spray,one press each nostrile,qd. Drug combination group was additionally given leukotriene receptor antagonist Montelukast sodium chewable tablet,4 mg for under 5 year-old and 5 mg for 5-year-old or above,qd,at bedtime. Treatment course of 3 groups lasted for 12 weeks. The change of clinical symptoms and signs(such as nasal obstruction,snore,mouth breathing,etc)and adenoid/pharyngeal ratio(A/N ratio)were compared among 3 groups after treatment as well as the occurrence of ADR. Each group was divided into two sub-groups (medium and severe) according to the severity of AH so as to evaluate therapeutic efficacy. RESULTS:21 children withdrew from the study,including 11 cases in control group,6 in intranasal steroid group and 4 in drug combination group. After treatment,clinical symptom score and A/N in subgroups of drug combination group and intranasal steroid group were all lower than those of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in clinical symptom score and A/N between drug combination group and AR complicated with medium AH subgroup from intranasal steroid group(P>0.05). Clini-cal symptom score and A/N of AR complicated with severe AH subgroup from drug combination group were lower than intranasal steroid group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). No obvious ADR occurred in 3 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Intranasal steroid alone and intranasal steroid combined with leukotriene receptor antagonist can improve clinical symptom of AR patients with AH, and reduce adenoid volume. It is suggested to use intranasal steroid firstly for medium AH complicated with AR,and additionally use Leukotriene receptor antagonist for severe AH complicated with AR.
