[Objective]To evaluate the application of sonographic measurements of the thickness of transverse carpal ligaments in CTS(carpal tunnel syndrome) patients.[Methods]Fifty-two wrists from 40 patients with CTS confirmed by surgery and 32 wrists from 20 healthy individuals(control group) underwent sonographic examination of the thickness of transverse carpal ligaments at the level of pisiform bone and the hook of the hamate bone in transverse plane by the same operator.[Results]The thickness of transverse carpal ligaments in CTS patients was(0.41?0.10) cm at hamate hook level and(0.35?0.11) cm at pisiform level versus(0.28?0.11) cm and(0.20?0.08) cm in the control group.There was significant difference in the mean value of thickness of transverse carpal ligaments hetween the two groups at the two levels.[Conclusion]Ultrasonography examination of the thickness of transverse carpal ligaments is a new and valuable technique in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome and is much helpful to choose operation methods.

Objective To study the clinical curative effect of small needle knife combined with manipulation on adhesive capsulitis.Methods Totally 120 adhesive capsulitis patients treated from March 2014 to November 2015 were enrolled in the study,and divided into a treatment group and a control group randomly and equally.The patients in the treatment group were treated with small needle knife combined with manipulation,and the ones in the control group took anti-inflammatory analgesics orally.The changes of shoulder joint pain and function scores as well as the clinical effects were observed and compared in the two groups.Results The treatment group behaved significantly better than the control group in the indexes of shoulder pain,pressing pain,nyctalgia,internal and external rotation,adduction,abduction and etc (P＜0.05).The total effective rate was 93.3％ in the treatment group,which was obviously higher than that (68.3％) in the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion The curative effect of combined manipulation and small needle knife gains advantages over oral antiinflammatory analgesics when used to treat adhesive capsulitis patients,and thus is worthy promoting practically.

Objective To investigate the effect of Shuanghuanglian injection parafornix-injecting in treating uterine tube obstruct (UTO) and explore its mechanism. Methods Clinic study included 386 uterine tubes of 200 patients, which were randomly divided into treatment group (50 cases, treated with Shuanghuanglian injection parafornix-injecting) and three control groups - group one (50 cases, treated with Lincocin vial parafornix-injecting), group two (50 cases, treated with hydrotubation) and group three (50 cases, treated with transvaginal catheter dilation). The changes of UTO condition and blood rheology, IL-2, IgA, IgG and IgM were observed before and after treatment. Results The total effective rate of Shuanghuanglian injection in treating UTO was 97.76%. It was characterized by regulating the blood stasis and hyperviscosity, improving the immune function of human body. Conclusions Shuanghuanglian injection parafornix-injecting has obvious therapeutic effect on UTO. The effect may be related with rectifying the body pyrotoxin and blood stasis, improving pelvic blood circulation and immune function.

AIM:To establish a HPLC method for determinaton of sodium ferulate (SF) in Beagle dog plasma and to study the pharmacokinetics of SF tablets. METHODS: Sodium ferulate in plasma was extracted with ether,separated on a Kromasil C_ 18 column (150 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m) and the peak height ratio of sodium ferulate to the internal standard tinidazole was measured.Plasma concentration of SF was determined using acetonitrile-water-acetic acid(20∶79.2∶0.8) as the mobile phase and the flow rate was 0.8 ml/min.SF was detected at 320 nm. RESULTS: SF and the internal standard were separated completely under the condition described above.SF was linear in the range of 0.02～50 ?g/ml(r=0.9995).The accuracy,precision and sensitivity were eligible for analyse of bio-pharmic samples. CONCLUSION:A sensitive and accurate HPLC method for the quantitative determination of SF in the plasma of Beagle dog is developed and it is applicable to the determination in plasma and pharmacokinetic study of SF.

Merely having complete sequences of genomes is not sufficient to elucidate biological function. Proteomics is complementary to genomics because it focuses on the large scared gene products, which are the active agents in cells. As almost all the drugs are directed against proteins, proteomics have been widely used in pharmacological research.Proteomics profiling in drug target identification, toxicological and drug resistances research was reviewed.

Objective To explore whether quercetin-loaded PEG-PE micelles(M-Q) can synergize the growth-in-hibitory activity of adriamycin prepared ( ADR) by reversing the drug resistance of MCF-7 ADRr breast cancer cells in vitro.Methods M-Q was prepared by adding saline to lipid film containing quercetin and PEG-PE.The size of M-Q was characterized by dynamic light scattering ( DLS) .The inhibition of MCF-7 ADRr cells was evaluated by MTS assay after incubation with M-Q and ADR.Results The incorporation efficiency of quercetin by the micelles was above 74%.The average size of M-Q was 11.11 nm.Compared with the quercetin dissolved in ethanol , M-Q more effectively reversed the drug resistance of MCF-7 ADRr cells in vitro.Conclusions PEG-PE micelles may potentially deliver quercetin to cancer cells for reversal of drug resistance .

Objective To investigate changes in the expression of prepro-orexin and orexin receptor-1 ( OX1R) following permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion ( MCAO ) with or without preconditioning through electrical stimulation of the cerebellar fastigial nucleus (FNS). Methods Wistar rats were subjected to permanent MCAO and randomly divided into 5 groups: a sham-operated control group (PO), an FNS preconditioning + shamoperated control group (FNS-PO) , an ischemia group, an FNS preconditioning + ischemia group (FNS-PI) and a cerebellar fastigial nucleus injury + FNS preconditioning + ischemia group (FNL-FNS-PI). Each group was divided into 5 subgroups according to the time at which the animals were sacrificed after the MCAO ( 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h).RT-PCR was used to detect expression of OX1R mRNA, and ELISA to measure the levels of orexin-A in the hypothalamus and plasma. Results The immunoreactivity of prepro-orexin decreased significantly in the PI groups, with further decreases over time. At the 12th h after MCAO, the immunoreactivity of prepro-orexin reached a minimum.There were significant differences between the rats in the PO and FNS-PO groups. On the contrary, the immunoreactivity of OX1R increased significantly in the PI groups, with further increases continuing over time, peaking at 12 h after the MCAO. There were significant differences between the PO and FNS-PO groups. In the rats with FNS preconditioning (PI-FNS) , the decrease in prepro-orexin and the increase in OX1R were significantly inhibited compared to the PI subgroups at the 6th and 12th hour. There was no significant difference between the FNL-PIFNS group and the PI group. The expression of OX1R mRNA increased significantly in the PI group, with further increases continuing over time, peaking at 24 hours. The plasma levels of orexin-A were not significantly different among the groups, but the levels of orexin-A in the hypothalamus decreased significantly in the PI and FNL-PI-FNS groups, with further decreases continuing over time. At the 12th h after the MCAO the levels were significantly different compared with the PO and PO-FNS groups. While in the rats with FNS preconditioning (PI-FNS) , the decrease in orexin-A level was reversed and there was no significant difference compared with PO and PO-FNS groups. Conclusions The orexinergic system is altered following cerebral ischaemia. FNS preconditioning may be able to regulate these changes.
