Objective: To study the clinical effect of acupuncture combined with methylcobalamin in the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Methods: Seventy-five diabetic patients complicated with peripheral neuropathies were included and randomly allocated into a treatment group (40 cases) and a control group (35 cases). The patients in the treatment group all received acupuncture therapy plus methylcobalamin. In the control group, patients only received methylcobalamin for treatment. The therapeutic effect was evaluated 4 weeks later. Results: Both of the two groups presented improvement in nervous symptoms, signs and nerve conduction, and the improvement of the treatment group was significantly better than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The therapy of acupuncture in combination with methylcobalamin is more effective than the monotherapy with methylcobalamin in the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

Objective Observing the effect of general anesthesia (GA) with remifentanil on parturients undergoing cesarean section and Apgar score of child.Methods 40 parturients were divided into two groups,GA combined remifentanil (group A,n =20) and standard GA(group B,n =20).Observe the change of hemodynamics parameter and Apgar score of child.Results In group A than in group B maternal hemodynamic index smooth,two groups of intubation after lmin SBP,DBP,HR decreased,while the5 min after intubation returned to normal.SBP DBP,HR before induction,the difference between groups was not statistically significant (P＞ 0.05),the two group after induction,SBP,DBP,HR intubation after 1 min were (120.8 ± 19.6 mm Hg,80.6 ± 11.2 mm Hg,98.1 ± 17.1 BPM),(128.1 ± 17.5 mm Hg,98.9 ± 13.8mm Hg,108.7 ± 20.7 BPM) after intubation of 5 min were (98.3 ± 24.7 mm Hg 75.3 ± 13.8 mm Hg,79.9 ±22.6 BPM),(121.5 ± 16.2 mm Hg,88.6 ± 13.7 mm Hg,110.5 ± 17.4 BPM) had a significant difference (P ＜ 0.05),neonatal 1 min,5 min Apgar score,no significant differences between the two groups (P ＞0.05).Conclusion When remifentanil is used in the general anesthesia,its inducing is smoothly and it is no significant bad effect on the newborn.

Objective To have a systemic review of the association between relative ratio in proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Methods A search in Medline and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) was performed,and relevant English and Chinese-language articles about assessing AD with 1 H-MRS were identifed.The data of relative metabolic ratios (NAA/Cr,Cho/Cr,mI/Cr ) from different brain regions (hippocampus,posterior cingulate gyrus,temporal lobe,parietal lobe,frontal lobe,occipital lobe) were extracted from the articles.The quality of the articles was evaluated according to the standard recommended by Newcastle-Ottawa criteria. The Meta-analysis was done with the Review Manager 4.2 to calculate pooled weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95％ confidence interval (95％ CI ),and linear correlation analysis between NAA/Cr ratio and mI/Cr ratio was done by SPSS 17.0.Results Thirty six articles (27 English articles,9 Chinese articles) were included. After heterogeneity test was done,fixed effects model or random effects model was selected. The meta-analysis showed that the NAA/Cr ratio in patients with AD was higher than that in controls ( WMD:-0.14,95％CI:-0.17 to -0.11 ).The mI/Cr ratio in patients with AD was lower than that in controls ( WMD:0.10,95％ CI:0.07 to 0.13 ).There were greatest changes in NAA/Cr ratio and mI/Cr ratio on the hippocampus ( WMD of NAA/Cr: - 0.27,95％ CI:- 0.36 to - 0.19 ; WMD of mI/Cr:0.21,95％ CI:0.10 to 0.33). There were also no differences between patients with AD and controls with respect to the Cho/Cr ratio (WMD:0.01,95％ CI:0.00 to 0.01,P ＞0.05). The NAA/Cr and mI/Cr changes are markedly correlated with each other in different brain regions ( r =0.947,P =0.004). Conclusion The hippocampus region is the first to present neuropathological changes in AD and the changes of NAA/Cr and MI/Cr might reflect the neurodegenerative process of AD.

Objective To investigate the relationship between vaginal and intestinal Candida in patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis by using microbiological and molecular methods. Methods The samples of vaginal discharge and anal swabs were collected from 148 cases with vulvovaginal candidiasis,followed by fungal culture, identification, purification and genome DNA extraction. The genome sequences from respective locations were aligned and typed according to their homology analyzed by internal transcribed spacer (ITS) PCR and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) PCR. Patients with vulvovaginal infection or those with infections in intestine and vulvovagina were pooled respectively, while the recurrent incidences after local anti-fungal treatments were analyzed. Results Candida albicans is the dominant pathogen in 148 cases with vulvovaginal candidiasis (91.9% , 136/148) ; 33. 1% (49/148) of patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis were infected in both intestine and vulvovagina. While 92% (22/24) of patients with intestinal and vaginal Candida infection showed high homology. The recurrent rate of patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis complicated with concurrent intestinal Candida infection (7/14) was significantly higher than that of solo vaginal infected patients [21% (6/29)] after vaginal treatment (P < 0. 05) . Conclusions The infection of vulvovaginal candidiasis is highly associated with the concurrent infection of intestinal Candida. The recurrent rate is high in patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis with concurrent infection of intestinal Candida after vaginal treatment. The general management to those patients infected by both vulvovaginal and intestinal Candida is necessary in reducing the recurrence of the disease.

Skin flaps from rabbit thighs were raised. The saphenous veins of the flaps were anastomosed with the femoral arteries.The valves in the veins were studied histologically. Fibrous tissue of the venous valve at the site of its junction with the venous wall underwent "fatigue" injury resulting in fracture of the valve.Theraby the valve opened according to the direction of blood flow, and the valvular tissue began to adhere to the venous wall.The results suggested that rapid blood flow with high pressure might remodel the venous valve in an arterialized venous skin flap.

There were 12 patients who were all type C1 or C3 epipod comminuted fracture.By means of the internal fixation,all patients were transplanted with the nanometer artificial bones,comprising hydroxyapatite and ?-tricalcium phosphate.The 12 patients used the bacteriophages preoperation,during operation and 3 days postoperation.They were free from pressure dressing and started to take exercises 48 hours postoperatively.Followed up for 6-12 months,all of the 12 patients healed well.So nanometer artificial bone is an effective method for the epipodite comminuted fracture,without any severe toxicity or complications.

Over-expression of CD151 was found to be associated with metastasis and poor prognosis of prostatic carcinoma. This study was designed to examine the mechanism by which CD151 promotes the proliferation and migration of prostatic cancer cells. The pAAV-CD151, pAAV-GFP and pAAV-CD151-AAA mutant plasmids were constructed and used to transiently transfect PC3 cells (a prostatic carcinoma 3 cell line) by the mediation of Fugene HD. Then, the cells were assigned to control group, pAAV-GFP group, pAAV-CD151 group, and pAAV-CD151-AAA group respectively. Cell proliferation was evaluated by using the 3-[4,5-dimet-hylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5, diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. Cell migration assay was performed by using Boyden chambers. The formation of CD151-integrin α3/α6 complex was determined by the method of co-immunoprecipitation. The protein expression levels of CD151 and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) were measured by Western blotting. The results showed that transfection of pAAV-CD151 or pAAV-CD151-AAA mutant increased the expression of CD151 protein in PC3 cells. Co-immunoprecipitation showed that more CD151-integrin α3/α6 complex was formed in the pAAV-CD151 group than in the control group, the pAAV-GFP group and the pAAV-CD151-AAA mutant group. Furthermore, the proliferative and migrating capacity of PC3 cells was substantially increased in the pAAV-CD151 group but inhibited in the pAAV-CD151-AAA mutant group. CD151 transfection increased the expression of phospho-ERK. Taken together, it was concluded that CD151 promotes the proliferation and migration of PC3 cells through the formation of CD151-integrin complex and the activation of phosphorylated ERK.
