Objective To evaluate clinical efficacy of Yishen-Bushui-Tongluo decoction in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (multiplesclerosis, MS).Methods 60 patients met the inclusion criteria of MS were recruited into a compound group and a control group, with 30 patients in each. The control group was treated with conventional western medicine, while the compound group was treated withYishen-Bushui-Tongluo decoction on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated for continuous 3 months, the clinical efficacy, symptoms, signs, expanded disability scale (expanded disability status scale, EDSS) scores, as well as adverse reactions and hormone-year recurrence rate were compared between the two groups.Results After the treatment, the total effective rate was 93.3% (28/30) in the compound group and 73.3% in the control group (22/30), showing statistically difference (χ2=4.320,P=0.038). After treatment, the clinical symptom score (5.1 ± 2.7vs. 7.0 ± 3.1,t=2.532), neurological signs score (5.1 ± 1.6vs. 6.3 ± 1.7, t=2.815), EDSS score (3.4 ± 1.5 vs.4.8 ± 1.5,t=3.615) in the compound group were significantly lower than the control group (P<0.01 or P<0.05); the follow-up period of 1 year showed the recurrence times in the compound group was lesser than the control group (0.31 ± 0.17vs.0.89 ± 0.36;t=7.980,P=0.000).ConclusionsYishen-Bushui-Tongluo decoction combining conventional western therapy can significantly improve the clinical symptoms of MS patients, relieve nervous system damage mitigation, reduce relapse frequency, and reduce the adverse effects of hormones.
2.Progress in microRNA in osteosarcoma
Cancer Research and Clinic 2016;28(9):638-641
Osteosarcoma is a primary malignant bone tumor with high invasiveness and metastasis that occurs mainly in children and adolescents. The pathogenesis of osteosarcoma remains unclear. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of nucleotides non-coding RNAs, can regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level through binding to target mRNAs. Besides, MiRNAs takes control of many important pathophysiological processes in molecular level, including the initiation and invasiveness of osteosarcoma.This review summarizes the roles of miRNAs in initiation,development,transformation and chemoresistance of osteosarcoma to bring new ideas for both pathogenesis exploration and targeted therapy of osteosarcoma.

Objective To compare the inhibitory effects of Butorphanol and Dezocine on Etomidate-induced myoclo?nus. Methods A total of 150 patients with ASA physical statusⅠorⅡ, aged 40-65 yr, with body mass index (BMI) of 20-25 kg/m2, scheduled for elective operations under general anesthesia, were included in this study. Patients were randomly al?located into three groups (A, B and C) with 50 patients in each group. Group A was given intravenous Butorphanol 15 μg/kg for 30 s, group B was given Dezocine 0.1 mg/kg and group C was given equal volume of saline. After 2 min, etomidate 0.3 mg/kg was administrated to three groups. The occurrence and severity of myoclonus were recorded for 2 min after administration of Etomidate. The mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) and Bispectral index (BIS) were recorded at the time points before induction (T0), 2 min after the experimental drug treatment (T1), and 2 min after Etomi?date treatment (T2). At the same time, the concentration of serum potassium was determined at T0 and 5 min after endotrache?al intubation (T3) respectively. Results The positive incidences of myoclonus were 12%in group A, 22%in group B and 74%in group C, respectively. Compared with group C, the positive incidence rates of myoclonus and myoclonus scales were significantly lower in group A and group B (P<0.05), but no significant difference between group A and group B (P>0.05). Compared with T0, there was no significant difference in the potassium concentration between patients without myoclonus (grade 0) and patients with myoclonus (grade 1 and grade 2) at T3 (P>0.05). There was a significant increase in potassium concentration in patients with grade 3 (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in MAP, HR, SpO2 and BIS values at T0, T1 and T2 between three groups of patients (P>0.05). Conclusion Pre-treatment of Butorphanol (15μg/kg) or Dezocine (0.1 mg/kg) can reduce the Etomidate-induced myoclonus. At the same time, both therapies show no different effects on cir?culation and respiration system.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect on improving immune function by hemofiltration combined with hemoabsorption in septic patients with low human leukocyte antigen DR (HLA-DR) expression.Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. Sixty sepsis patients aged over 18 years, with HLA-DR expression lower than 30% were enrolled, and they were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, n = 30 in each group. The patients were treated with standard operating procedure for sepsis, and hemofiltration combined with hemoabsorption were added in addition in the experimental group within 1-3 days. The continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) mode was performed, with former dilution volume 4 L/h, and the hemofilter HF2000 was carried out with blood absorber HA-330H. The expression of HLA-DR in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was determined before the treatment and 3, 5, 7 days after treatment. Acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ) score, duration of mechanical ventilation, length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and 28-day survival rate were evaluated in both groups.Results The HLA-DR expression before treatment in experimental group and control group was both lower than 30%, and there was no statistical difference [(25.9±7.3)% vs. (26.4±6.7)%,P>0.05]. The HLA-DR expression at 3, 5, 7 days after treatment in experimental group was gradually increased, and it was significantly higher than that of the control group [3 days: (38.9±8.6)% vs. (29.3±7.1)%, 5 days: (42.7±9.2)%vs. (31.4±6.5)%, 7 days: (40.9±8.5)% vs. (29.4±6.7)%, allP< 0.05]. There was no significant difference in APACHEⅡ score before treatment between experimental group and control group (22.4±5.3 vs. 21.7±6.2,P>0.05). APACHEⅡ score at 3, 5, and 7 days after treatment was gradually decreased in experimental group, and it was obviously lower than that of the control group (3 days: 18.6±3.6 vs. 20.5±4.3, 5 days: 15.8±3.9 vs. 21.1±4.4, 7 days: 14.9±4.2 vs. 19.8±3.7, allP< 0.05). Compared with the control group, the duration of mechanical ventilation (days: 13.3±3.4 vs. 19.8±3.7,t = 6.432,P = 0.003) and length of ICU stay (days: 20.7±3.9 vs. 26.8±4.7,t = 5.452, P = 0.006) in experimental group were significantly shortened, and the 28-day survival rate was significantly elevated (83.3% vs. 73.3%,χ2 = 3.121,P = 0.016).Conclusion Hemofiltration combined with hemoabsorption can improve the expression of HLA-DR in sepsis patients with low expression of HLA-DR, and it can improve immune function and prognosis of sepsis patients in certain degree.
