Objective To explore the effects and safety of citalopram combined with low-dose risperidone on refractory depression. Methods All of 54 patients with the refractory depression were ran-domly divided into two groups: augmented treatment group (taken citalopram 20 mg/d, risperidone 0.5-2.0mg/d) and mono-thempy group (taken citalopram alone 20 mg/d). The treatment lasted for 6 weeks. They were estimated with Hamilton depression scale (HAMD), Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA), and treatment emergent symptom scale (TESS) at baseline and every two weeks subsequently. Results In the augment-ed treatment group, total effective rate was 60.7% and recovery and excellence rate was 50.0%, while that was 26.9% and 15.4% in mono-therapy group (P< 0.05). The adverse effect of two groups was minor. Conclu-sion Rispefidone may be a useful and safe adjunct to citalopram in treatment of refractory depression.

Object To study the isomers of amygdalin in BUYANG HUANWU TANG and its production Methods Amygdalin was isolated from both peach seeds and BUYANG HUANWU TANG by using various column chromatography Their structures were identified by the various spectral data Results Amygdalin had been isolated from n BuOH fraction of aqueous extract of BUYANG HUANWU TANG and found to be a pair of D , L epimers and their ration was 1∶1 It was also found that the structures and the ration of D , L epimers of amygdalin in decoction of single peach seed were similar to that in BUYANG HUANWU TANG. The peach seed only gave D amygdalin when it was extracted in 95% EtOH at reflux temperature, and D amygdalin cannot be isomerized when it was treated in water at 100 ℃ Conclusion Isomerization of D amygdalin results from interaction between it and other compounds of peach seed in water at high temperature, and has no evident relation to other constituents in BUYANG HUANWU TANG L amygdalin is a new compound generated due to decoction of peach seed

Objective To explore the effect of different frequencies interference of electoracupuncture on acute stress of C57BL/6 mice. Methods Thirty male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into model group,2Hz electroacupunture group and 100 Hz electroacupunture group.After interfering 7 days by electroacupuncture,all the mice were carried forced swimming tests and tail suspension test,and the immobility time in 5 minutes were taken down. Results The immobility time of forced swimming test and tail suspension test of 2 Hz eletroacupuncture group(32.00±14.73)s,(72.50±20.44)s was shorter than those of 100 Hz electoracupuncture group(145.60±34.62)s,(124.22±21.67)s( P <0.05); and the immobility time of 2 Hz eletroacupuncture group was shorter than that of model group(129.50±33.94)s,(142.23±20.05)s( P <0.05); but the immobility time of 100 Hz electroacupuncture group was no difference with that of model group( P >0.05). Conclusions The effect of 2 Hz eletroacupuncture could improve the behaviors of the acute stress of C57BL/6 mice and had the more effectiveness on anti-depression.

Objective To investigate the anti-fatigue mechanism of Relieving Fatigue Decoction(RFD). Methods 33 male SD rats were evenly randomized into control, model and RFD groups. 21d exhausted swim exercise was used to make an exercise-induced fatigue rat model. RFD group was given RFD in routine doses by gastric perfusion for 21d, once a day. After decapitation, the rats’ testis, liver and blood were taken, detecting MDA with thio-barbituric acid method, GSH and GSH-PX with chromatometry method, SOD with xanthine oxidase method, testosterone and corticosterone with ELISA method respectively. Results (1)Compared with control group, the serum MDA in model group increased significantly(P0.05); the testis, liver and serum GSH, GSH-PX reduced significantly(P0.05); the serum testosterone and corticosterone increased significantly(P0.05); the testis, liver and serum GSH increased significantly(P0.05); the liver SOD increased significantly(P0.05); the serum corticosterone decresed significantly(P0.05).Conclusion RFD may improve the activity of antioxidant enzymes in liver, testis and serum, and raise serum T/C level, which may underlie its action in impoving fatigue.

ObjectiveTo observe the expression of Caspase-3 mRNA in prefrontal cortex and hippocampus of chronic stress-induced depression rats,and to detect the machnisms of antidepression by electro-acupuncture.MethodsSprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups:control group,model group,model +electro-acupuncture group and model + paroxetine group,12 rats in each group.Open-field test was used to observe the changes of movements,and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-PCR) method was used to detect Caspase-3 mRNA levels in prefrontal cortex and hippocampus.Results ①Open-field test:after stress,compared with control group rats,the model group rats' crossing numbers (29 ± 7),rearing times (6 ± 2) were apparently less than those of control group( (66 ± 13),( 10 ±2) ; P＜0.05,P＞0.05).In comparison with model group,the crossing times and rearing times being increasing in degree in electro-acupuncture group( (61 ±9),( 13 ±1 ) ) and paroxetine group( (39 ± 10),(8 ± 1 ),P＜0.01,P＞0.05).② Compared with the control group,Caspase-3 mRNA in prefrontal cortex and hippocampus significantly increased in model group(P ＜0.05 ) ;and compared with model group,Caspase-3 mRNA in prefrontal cortex in electro-acupuncture group and paroxetine group significantly decreased(P ＜ 0.05 ),and both expression of Caspase-3 mRNA in hippocampus in electro-acupuncture group and expression of Caspase-3 mRNA in hippocampus in paroxetine group decreased (P ＞ 0.05 ).ConclusionChronic stress can increase the expression of Caspase-3 mRNA in prefrontal cortex and hippocampus of chronic stress-induced depression rats,while electro-acupuncture can decrease the expression of caspase-3 mRNA,which may be an important way to anti-depression by electro-acupuncture.

BACKGROUND:Because of its advantages, Endobutton has been widely used in clinic. Currently, its shortcomings are increasingly recognized. Tightrope that overcomes the shortcomings of Endobutton has been gradualy accepted by a doctor skiled in sports injuries.
OBJECTIVE: To analyze and compare the differences in the effects of Tightrope and Endobutton in the reconstruction of the cruciate ligament.
METHODS:Totaly 60 cases of anterior cruciate ligament rupture were selected and subjected to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction under arthroscopy, of which 30 cases were randomly assigned to reconstruction by Endobutton device and 30 cases underwent reconstruction by Tightrope device. Al operations were performed by the same surgeon. Al patients were subjected to regular functional exercise and were folowed up regularly after operation. Effects of Tightrope and Endobutton in the cruciate ligament reconstruction were evaluated by comparing various indexes in the two groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared to the Endobutton fixation system, the Tightrope fixation system could shorten the operation time, reduce the length of tendon incision, and decrease the loss of bone mass in the femoral bone tunnel. There were no significant differences in the maximum knee flexion, knee joint score and Tegner movement level score between the two groups at 3 and 6 months after operation. These findings indicate that the Tightrope fixation system is superior to the Endobutton fixation system, because it is more simple and convenient to operate and has less bone loss. However, their clinical efficacy has no difference after 6 months.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and ADR of palipeddone sustained release tablet in the treatment of schizophrenia in outpatient. METHODS: Outpatients with schizophrenia treated with palipeddone sustained release tablet(observation group) in our hospital from Apr. to Sep. in 2009 were followed up and compared with those treated with risperidone(control group) during the same period. PANSS and TESS were applied to evaluate efficacy and ADR. RESULTS: The cure rates were 42.4% for control group and 49.6% for observation group. The effective rates were 74.8% for control group and 80.3% for observation group (P
