Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2017;36(1):30-33
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of mind-regulating and kidney-reinforcing acupuncture in treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Methods Fifty-six patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 28 cases each. The treatment group received mind-regulating and kidney-reinforcing acupuncture and the control group, conventional acupuncture, for a total of 28 days. The American Connell children’s ADHD behavior diagnostic scale and the Chinese version of ADHD SNAP-IV scale-parent form were used as evaluating indicators. The total efficacy rates were compared between the two groups of patients.Results The total efficacy rate was 96.4% in the treatment group and 71.4% in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). There were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in the American Connell children’s ADHD behavior diagnostic scale score and the Chinese version of ADHD SNAP-IV scale-parent form score in the two groups (P<0.05). There were statistically significant post-treatment differences in the American Connell children’s ADHD behavior diagnostic scale score and the Chinese version of ADHD SNAP-IV scale-parent form score between the treatment and control groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Mind-regulating and kidney-reinforcing acupuncture is an effective way to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Clinical skills training center of Dongyang People's hospital introduced lean man-agement conception into the resident clinical skills training. The recruited residents were grouped by degree, the training contents were detailed, and teaching plans were normalized, and small class teach-ing and real-time feedback were implemented, which improved the normalization and standardization of resident training. The implementation of lean management leads to great progress in resident train-ing, but still needs further efforts. Only in the long-term management of standardization, can lean man-agement conception be embedded in daily work, making clinical skills training center play its role in cultivating medical talents effectively.

AIM To establish an animal experimental model for study on prevention of cisplatin toxicity and explore the possible mechanisms of the toxicity induced by cisplatin administration. METHODS Cisplatin was administered i.p consecutively for five days to male mice weighted from 28 to 30 g. The toxic effects induced by different doses of cisplatin on hearing, liver and kidney were determined. RESULTS Dose dependent decrease of body weight, abnormality of kidney and liver coefficients, levels of BUN and activities of ALT in serum were induced by cisplatin administration. Furthermore, Levels of GSH, activities of GSH Px and SOD increased significantly in kidney. Reversely, levels of GSH, activities of GSH Px and SOD in liver decreased and levels of LPO increased significantly in animals given cisplatin compared with those in control animals. CONCLUSION Obvious damage on hearing, liver and kidney of mice could be induced after consecutively 5 days administration of cisplatin with doses range from 3 0 to 4 0 mg?kg -1 (body weight). Oxidative damage is one of the mechanisms of these toxic effects on liver and kidney induced by cisplatin. But for different organs or at different stages of cisplatin administration, the main mechanism may be different.

BACKGROUND: Previous researches indicate that ADp14ARF transfecting positive tumor cell line of p53 can inhibit the proliferation; in addition, the inhibitory effect is superior to transfection negative tumor cell line of p53. Whether simultaneous transfection of p14ARF and p53 genes can increase expression and accumulation of p53 and accelerate apoptosis of tumor cells needs further studies.OBJECTIVE: To construct double plasmid expression vector plRES-p14ARF-p53 by using gene engineering so as to observe the inhibitory effect on proliferation of osteogenic sarcoma cells.DESIGN: Randomized controlled observation.SETTING: Department of Orthopaedics, Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in the Public Laboratory Platform, Immune Researching Room, Basic Medical College, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2005 to October 2006. Human osteogenic sarcoma MG-63 cells were provided by Cell Laboratory, Immune Researching Room, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. plRES-p53 plasmid and plRES vector containing p53total-length gene order were provided by Wuhan Jingsai Biology Company.METHODS: Based on gene engineering, p14DNA (0.5 kb) was amplified from cultured L02 cells of normal human hepatic cells into plRES vector. Recombinant plasmid plRES-p14ARF-p53 was determined with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction enzyme and transfected into human osteogenic sarcoma MG-63 cells through mediation of liposome to screen positive clones. Otherwise, cells were divided into three groups, including blank control group (MG-63cells), blank vector control group (stably transfecting plRES-neo cells) and p14ARF-p53 group (stably transfecting plRES-p14ARF-p53 cells). ① DNA content and cycle of tumor cells were measured by using flow cytometry before and after transfection. ② Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot were used to detect quantitative and semi-quantitative expression of p53 and p14ARF protein in tumor cells after stable transfection. ③Thiazole blue chromatometry and growth curve were used to observe proliferation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① DNA content and cycle of osteogenic sarcoma cells; ② expressions of p53 and p14ARF protein in tumor cells; ③ proliferation.RESULTS: Double plasmid expression vector plRES-p14ARF-p53 was constructed successfully. ① DNA content and cycle of osteogenic sarcoma cells: Flow cytometry demonstrated that tumor cells mainly stayed in G1 phase after transfection. ② Protein expression: RT-PCR and Western blot indicated that p14ARF and p53 gene independently expressed in target cell mRNA and protein, respectively. ③ Cell growth: At 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours after MG-63 transfection, inhibitory rates of tumor cells were 33.43%, 69.37%, 66.19% and 75.26%, respectively, which was significant difference as compared with blank vector control group (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: Wild p53 and p14ARF can synergistically inhibit the proliferation and accelerate the apoptosis of osteogenic sarcoma cells.
