International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2009;31(2):128-129
Objective To observe the clinical effect of Baiziyangxin decoction in treating children's viralmyocarditis and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods Sixty-two patients were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group. The control group was treated with conventional western therapy (CWT), while the treatment group was treated with CWT plus Baiziyangxin decoction. The changes of myocardial enzymes before and after the treatment were observed. Results The total effective rate of the treatment group was 87.5%, while that of the control group was 70%. The difference of the total effective rate between the two groups was significant(P<0.05)., The treatment group was obviously superior to the control group in declining myocardial enzymes level. Conclusion Baiziyangxin decoction showed obvious effect in treating Children's Viralmyocarditis.

6.Nano-hydroxyapatite/composite resin:cytototoxicity and application in dental restoration
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2016;20(38):5697-5702
BACKGROUND:It has been found that the compressive strength and flexural strength of nano-hydroxyapatite combined with light-cured resin matrix can neet the requirements of dental restorative materials. OBJECTIVE:To detect the cytotoxicity of nano-hydroxyapatite/composite resin, and to analyze its effects on the dental restoration. METHODS:In vitro test:passage 5 periodontal ligament fibroblast-like cel s and L-929 cel s suspensions were cultured in the 10%, 50%, 100%of nano-hydroxyapatite/composite resin extracts, respectively, and fresh maintenance medium functioned as negative control group. Absorbance values were detected within 7-day culture. In vivo repair test:57 cases with tooth defect were enrol ed containing 37 males and 20 females aged from 15 to 31 years old, and al were subjected to nano-hydroxyapatite/composite resin treatment. A 3-year fol ow-up was undergone to detect the completeness, marginal adaptation and color matching of the restoration, as wel as the periodontal probing depth, sulcus bleeding index, tooth mobility, dental plaque index, gingival crevicular fluid and aspartate aminotransferase level. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In vitro test results showed that the different concentrations of nano-hydroxyapatite/composite resin extracts had no effects on both periodontal ligament fibroblast-like cel s and L-929 cel s. In vivo repair test results found that after 3 years of fol ow-up, the periodontal probing depth, sulcus bleeding index, tooth mobility, dental plaque index, gingival crevicular fluid and aspartate aminotransferase level of patients were significantly decreased than those before repair (P<0.05), but the alkaline phosphatase level revealed no significant change (P>0.05). Unfortunately, three cases with incomplete restoration, four cases with color mismatching, and three cases with the inadaptable edge occurred. To conclude, the nano-hydroxyapatite/composite resin holds good biocompatibility and no cytotoxicity, which can maintain a good periodontal health condition in the dental restoration.
7.The effect of low-dose dopamine on splanchnic oxygen delivery/oxygen consumption on in rabbits SMAO shock
Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 1994;0(01):-
Objective: To study the effect of low-dose dopamine on splanchnic DO_2/VO_2.in rabbit SMAO shock Method:Twenty rabbits were randomly devided into two groups:group A with dopamine,group B as control group. In group A dopamlne was infused at a rate of 5?g?kg~(-1)?min~(-1). SMAO shock model was induced in both groups. Cardiac output index(Cl),portal venous blood flow index (QpvI),mean arterial pressure (MAP),arterial. artiaI and portal venous blood gas analysis.arterial and portal venous serum lactate concentrations(ALT,PLT), total oxygen delivery/oxygen consumption (TDO_2/TVO_2), splanchnic oxygen delivery/oxygen consumption (SDO_2/SVO_2). oxygen extraction ratio(O_2ER) were measured respectively. Result: QpvI, SDO_2,SVO_2 were higher in group A than those of group B (P0.05). CI,MAP, TDO_2/TVO_2 decreased. TO_2ER and SO_2ER increased in both of groups during shock, but without significant differences between both groups. Conclusion: Low-dose dopamine has beneficial effects by increasing portal venous blood perfusion and improving splanchnic oxygenation during SMAO shock in rabbits. but no effects on systemic oxygenation of shock.
8.Role of circadian rhythm change in the pathogenesis of obesity and diabetes
Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2011;27(10):793-795
Increasing clinical evidence shows that modern lifestyle interrupting circadian rhythm contributes to the prevalence of obesity and diabetes.Recent genetic animal models further support the interaction of circadian rhythms and metabolic state.Circadian clock is not limited to be in central nervous system,and is also present in nearly all cells of the body,which constitute hierarchically circadian systems.The molecular circadian clock is evolved to allow organisms to anticipate and prepared for predictable,daily changes in the environment and regulates cellular and tissue function by driving patterns of gene expression and enzymatic activity.At present,basic science in this field has progressed at an extraordinary pace and is expected to continue unraveling the mechanisms linking circadian clocks to metabolism,which is important for understanding the pathophysiology of metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes,and provides a conceptual basis for the prevention and therapeutics of these diseases.
9.The evaluation on the treatment of benign primary blepharospasm by acupuncture of“streng thening spleen andd”ismtetrhi obd uCt ihneng
International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2014;(4):307-310
Objective To observe and compare the clinical effect of treating benign primary blepharospasm(BPB)with acupuncture and injection of type A botulinum toxin. Methods Between January 2012 to July 2013, 80 cases of BPB patients in ophthalmology of Tongren hospital were randomly recruited into a acupuncture group and a control group, with 40 cases in either group. The acupuncture group was treated with acupuncture on points of strengthening spleen and distributing liver and the control group was treated by type A botulinum toxin injection around effected eyes. Then effective rate, visual impairment of quality of life scale and self-rating depressive scale were tested after the treatments. Results The total effective rate of acupuncture was 95%, which was better than injection with type A botulinum toxin, with statistical difference(P<0.01). There was no statistical difference in visual impairment of quality of life scale in both groups after the treatment compared with before treatment(P>0.05). Visual impairment score was (121.88±30.16) and (121.00±28.72) in the acupuncture group and control group respectively before the treatment, However, acupuncture group(70.00±22.88)reduced less than control group(95.25±28.39)after the treatment, and there was statistical difference(P<0.01). There was no statistical difference in self-rating depressive scale in groups before treatments(P>0.05), (acupuncture group was(15.90±7.99) and control group was(15.75±6.26). However, acupuncture group(10.40±4.95)reduced less than control group(13.38±6.32)after the treatment, and there was statistical difference(P<0.01). Conclusion It proved that the therapy of acupuncture with strengthening spleen and distributing liver method for benign primary blepharospasm has a better result than injection with type A Botulinum toxin. Moreover, acupuncture can promote optical function and prevent depression for BPB patients.
