Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture and rehabilitation exercises in the treatment of cerebral infarction.Methods:Seventy-four patients with cerebral infarction were randomized into treatment group and control group in visit sequence.Thirty-seven cases in treatment group were treated with electroacupuncture and rehabilitation exercises,and other 37 cases in control group were treated with electroacupuncture alone.The treatment was given once a day and there was a 2-day interval after any consecutive 5 treatments.After total 30 treatments,Fugl-Meyer scale was used to evaluate motor function and Barthel Index to evaluate the activities of daily living.Results:After treatments,the motor function of paralyzed limb and activities of daily living were obviously improved in both groups,with more significant improvement in treatment group than in control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Combination of electroacupuncture and rehabilitation exercises has better effects than simple electroacupuncture in the treatment of cerebral infarction.

Objective To explore the curative effect of oral cancer radical surgery plus free anterolateral thigh flap repair and analyze the influence factors of skin flap necrosis.Methods The data of 98 patients who underwent oral cancer radical surgery with concurrent free anterolateral thigh flap repair in our hospital from January 2010 to June 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.The complete survival rate of skin flaps and incidence of complications in all patients were statistically analyzed.The age,diabetes,infection in implanted skin flap area,smoking and mental status,etc.of patients with survived or necrotic skin flaps were compared between patients with survival flaps and patients with flap necrosis,and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed.Results Among the 98 cases,86 cases of flaps survived completely and the survival rate was 87.8%.Fifteen cases with the skin flap necrosis,the incidence of complications was 15.3%,including 7 cases of surgi-cal site infection and 5 cases of skin flap necrosis with massive hemorrhage.The donor site incisions of all patients were primary healing and the patients were satisfied with the postoperative appearance.Among the patients with flap necrosis,the incidence rates of ≥60 years old,with diabetes,infection in flap implanted area,smoking and poor mental state (41.7%,41.7%,58.3%,75.0%,83.3%)were higher than those corresponding proportions in the patients with with survival flaps(P <0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age,diabe-tes,infection in implanted skin flap area,smoking and poor mental status were the influencing factors for flap necrosis.Conclusion Oral cancer radical surgery with concurrent free anterolateral thigh flap repair has good curative effects.The age,combined with diabetes,smoking,infec-tion in flap implanted area and poor mental state are the risk factors for flap necrosis in patients with oral cancer after flap repair,which should be given intervention to improve the survival rate of skin flap in clinic.

The Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway plays a key role in the embryonic development, which is formed by the Hedgehog(Hh) , membrane-receptor complex Patched (Ptch) and Smoothened (Smo), multifunctional transcription factors Glioma-associated oncogene homolog (Gli) and other signal molecules. The Hh signaling pathway controls a variety of developing processes, however, no or less expression is observed in the normal pancreas tissues.The mutational activation of the Hh signaling pathway is associated with tumorigenesis and metastasis of the pancreatic cancer. The aim of this review is to present a brief overview of the Hedgehog signaling pathway in the mechanism of the tumorigenesis of the pancreatic cancer.

Objective To investigate the gene silencing,apoptosis induction and the suppression of proliferation in vivo transfected by UTMD techniques associated with shRNA techniques. Methods The survivin-shRNA expression vector was constructed. Nude mice were randomly arranged into 3 groups:control group, plasmid injection and ultrasound (P + US), P + UTMD group. Histological examination were evaluated. Protein expressions of Survivin and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), Bcl-2, Bax,Caspase-3, Ki-67, nucleostemin (NS), p53 were investigated by immunohistochemistry. Results In transplanted tumors experiment, comparing with those in C and P + US groups, protein expressions of PCNA,Ki-67,Bcl-2, Survivin, NS were down-regulated markedly, while those of Bax, Caspase-3 and P53 were up-regulated significantly ( P ＜ 0.05). Conclusions UTMD combined with shRNA technique can induce apoptosis and inhibit proliferation significantly, without causing any apparently adverse effect,representing a new,promising technology that can be used in the tumor gene therapy and research.

OBJECTIVETo search for a more effective penetration needling method for peripheral facial paralysis.

METHODSThe patients were divided into a treatment group and a control group according to visiting sequence. The treatment group of 50 cases were treated with Yangbai (GB 14)-through-Touwei (ST 8), Yangbai (a little above the original point)-through-Shangxing (GV 23), Sizhukong (TE 23)-through-Yuyao (EX-HN 4), Qianzheng-through-Yingxiang (LI 20), Dicang (ST 4)-through-Jiache (ST 6) and Jiache-through-Yingxiang, at an angle about 45 degrees between the penetration needling direction and local paralysis muscle bundle, and the control group (n=45) with Yangbai-through-Yuyao, Zanzhu (BL 2)-through-Yuyao, Dicang-through-Jiache, Jiache-through-Dicang, Qianzheng-through-Dicang, Sibai (ST 2)-through-Yingxiang.

RESULTSThe cured rate and the cured and markedly effective rate were 76.0% and 92.0% in the treatment group, and 55.6% and 75.6% in the control group respectively, with significant differences between the two groups in the cured rate, the cured and markedly effective rate and the therapeutic times for cure.

CONCLUSIONThe penetration needling method at an angle about 45 degrees between the penetration needling and paralysis muscle bundle is more beneficial to recovery of facial paralysis.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of aspirin on hypoxic brain neural cells of rat and the effects of extracellular calcium on the neuroprotective effect of aspirin. Methods The hypoxic cell model was established by adding Na_2S_2O_4 to the calcium or calcium free medium. Cultured primary cortical neurons of rat were pretreated with ASA in vitro. The change of intracellular free calcium and neuroglobin (NGB) were observed and analyzed by laser scanning confocal microscope. Results The expression level of [Ca~(2+)] i and NGB increased significantly in the chemical hypoxia group ( P < 0. 05 ). ASA can attenuate the increase of [ Ca~(2+) ] i and NGB in the hypoxic group and calcium-free hypoxia group(P <0. 05). Conclusion Aspirin can inhibit calcium overload and the hypoxia-induced expression of NGB, so protect rat brain cells against hypoxia.

Objective To analyze the diabetes prevalence and it's risk factors among adults in Changsha city and provide the scientific evidence for diabetes prevention and control. Methods The stratified multi-stage cluster sampling method was used to collect data of residents(≥18 years old)from 5 counties or districts as the subjects during 2013 to 2014. The survey included structured questionnaire, physical examination and blood tests. Risk factors of diabetes were analyzed by Chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 19 812 subjects were investigated. The effective response subjects were 19 580; 1 970 subjects had diabetes and the crude prevalence of diabetes was 10.06%. The prevalence rates of male and female was 8.95%(746/8 335) and 10.88%(1 224/11 245) respectively, with statistically significant difference(χ2=19.80, P<0.01). The prevalence rates of urban and suburb were 11.34%(1 048/9 238)and 8.92%(922/10 342)respectively,which has statistical significance (χ2=31.82,P<0.01).The prevalence of diabetes between 1.10%and 18.03%among all age groups, which has statistical significance among different age groups(χ2=797.67, P<0.01), and increased with the increase of age(χ2trend=731.99, P<0.01). The prevalence of diabetes of those whose educational background was Junior high school, senior high school, college, bachelor or above was 10.88%(1 529/14 050), 9.06%(290/3 201), 6.94%(97/1 398), 5.84%(52/891) respectively, The difference of diabetes prevalence also showed statistical significance among population with different educational background(χ2=46.62,P<0.01). The prevalence rates of people with hypertension and without hypertension were 18.33%(1 180/6 437)and 6.02%(790/13 132) respectively, which has statistical significance(χ2=723.68, P<0.01). The results of multi variant logistic regression analysis indicated that high blood pressure(OR=2.24), obesity(OR=2.12), overweight(OR=1.48), living in urban area(OR=1.54) and high age(OR=1.36)were independent risk factors of diabetes. Conclusion The diabetes prevalence in Changsha was high. The comprehensive prevention measures according to risk factors of diabetes should be taken, especially should focus on the people 40 years of age or older, with high blood pressure, being overweight or obese and living in urban area.
