Objective To evaluate the clinical curative effect of Liuwei Nengxiao capsules combined with acupoint application for functional constipation. Methods According to the order of treatment, 105 patients with functional constipation were divided into combined treatment group, Liuwei Nengxiao group and acupoint application group with random number table, 35 cases in each group. Combined treatment group was treated with both Liuwei Nengxiao capsules orally taking and Tongbian Fang acupoint application in Shenque. Liuwei Nengxiao group was treated with Liuwei Nengxiao capsules alone, and acupoint application group was treated with Tongbian Fang acupoint application in Shenque alone. The course of treatment lasted for 10 days. The symptom scores were assessed before and after treatment, to evaluate the efficacy. Results The symptom scores of the three groups all decreased after treatment (P<0.05). The total effective rates of combined treatment group, Liuwei Nengxiao group and acupoint application group were 100%(35/35), 94.3% (33/35) and 88.6% (31/35), respectively, and the clinical effect of combined treatment group was better than that of other two groups (P<0.01). Conclusion The clinical effect of Liuwei Nengxiao capsules combined with acupoint application in treating functional constipation is superior to that of separate applications.

Objective: To investigate the undertected situation in gonococci culture of male urethral secretions. Methods: The 362 cases of male ureethral secreations were simultaneously detected with fluorescence quantitative PCR, germiculture and direct smear method. The results in three detections were statistically analyzed. Results: The fluorescence quantitative PCR positive rate was 29.56%, near to direct smear method (26.52%)（x2=0.83，P>0.05）; the germiculture positive rate(4.42%) was significantly lower than the positive rates of fluorescence quantitative PCR(x2=81.10,P<0.01) and direct smear method(x2=67.60,P<0.01). Conclusion The simple gonococci culture has high missed detection rate(>80%) in detecting male cases. Ensuring the quality of samples before analysis and detecting with two methods or above are the effective measures to improve the gonococci detection rate.

Objective To investigate the vascular protective effect of pretreatment with candesartan on cerebral ischemia in rats.Methods Forty-eight male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham operation,ischemia-reperfusion,low-dose candesartan group was randomly redivided into reperfusion 24 h and 72 h subgroups (n = 6).A model of middle cerebral artery occlusion was induced by intraluminal suture method after 4 weeks of drug gavage.Blood pressure was measured preoperatively.The neurological scores were performed after 24 and 72 hours of reperfusion.Then the rats were decapitated and the brains were removed.The infarct volume was measured using 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining.The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) protein in ischemic regions was detected by immunohistochemical staining and Western blot analysis.Results The neurological scores of the low-dose and high-dose candesartan groups at 24 and 72 hours after reperfusion were significantly better than those of the ischemia-reperfusion group (P = 0.008and 0.001,respectively),and the infarct volume was reduced significantly (P=0.010 and 0.000,respectively).At the second week after medication,the blood pressure was decreased significantly in the high-dose candesartan group,and there was no significant antihypertensive effect in the low-dose candesartan group.The positive expression of VEGF mainly distributed in the vascular endothelial cells around the infarcts.Its expression was further upregulated with the time.It reached the peak after 72-hour reperfusion.The result of Western blot analysis was consistent with that of immunohistochemical staining.Conclusions Candesartan may reduce the infarct volume by upregulating the expression of VEGF in the ischemic region and improve the neurological score.

Objective To study the effects of Celastrus orbiculatus extracts (COE) on the expression of VEGF and CECs of Hepal-6 tumor bearing mice.Methods Animal Models of Hepal-6 portability liver tumor bearing mice were established and randomly assigned to six groups (eight mice per group) as follows:untreated control group,solvent vehicle control (DMSO) group,physiological saline control group,cisplatin-treated group,and different dosages COE-treated groups (40 mg/kg,20 mg/kg,10 mg/kg).To approach the effects of COE on the expression of VEGF and CECs in Hepal-6 toumor bearing mice.Results The ELISA and flow cytometer showed that COE could significantly inhibit the expression of VEGF(45.24±21.36) pg/ml and CECs (0.83 ± 0.10) ％ compared with the physiological saline control group (P＜ 0.01 ) with the dose of 20mg/kg.Conclusion COE could significantly down-regulate the expression of VEGF and CECs.It may be related with the effect of COE in inhibiting angiogenesis of tumor.

Objective To evaluate the role of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in mitigation of inflammatory responses following myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by sufentanil postconditioning in rats.Methods Thirty Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =10 each):sham operation group (S group); I/R group; sufentanil postconditioning group (SP group).Myocardial I/R was produced by temporary ligation of left anterior descending branch of coronary artery for 30 min followed by 120 min reperfusion.In group SP,sufentanil 0.6 μg/kg was injected intravenously at 5 min before reperfusion.The myocardial specimens and blood samples were taken at the end of 120 min reperfusion for determination of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) concentrations and TLR4 content (by ELISA).Results Compared with S group,the levels of TLR4,IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly increased in the other two groups.Comparedwith I/R group,the levels of TLR4,IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly decreased in group SP.Conclusion The mechanism by which sufentanil postconditioning mitigates inflammatory responses following myocardial I/R injury may be related to downregulation of TLR4 expression in myocardial tissues of rats.

Objective To investigate the effect of Yiqihuayu herb on serum NF-κB p65 and myocardin in patients with hysteromyoma. Methods 56 cases patients with hysteromyoma were selected and divided into two groups.The control group of 28 cases were treated with mifepristone, and the experiment group of 28 cases were treated with Yiqihuayu herb.The clinical curative effect, uterine myoma volume, expression of NF-κB p65 and myocardin level were compared after treatment.Results The clinical curative effect of the experiment group was 89.29%, which was higher than 67.86% of control group(χ2 =3.82,P<0.05).Compared with control group, NF-κB p65 expression level was lower(P<0.05), myocardin expression level was higher ( P<0.05 ) , the volume of uterus and uterine myoma were smaller ( P<0.05 ) .Conclusion Yiqihuayu recipe could reduce the expression of NF-κB p65 in serum, increase myocardin level, and reduce the volume of uterus and myoma, which has good clinical curative effect in the treatment of patients with hysteromyoma.

Objective To compare the effects and prognosis of craniotomy evacuation of hematoma and hard tunnel minimally invasive perforation for hypertensive basal ganglia hemorrhage ( HBGH ) . Methods A total of 192 patients with HBGH from January 2005 to December 2013 were retrospectively reviewed , including 96 cases of craniotomy evacuation of hematoma and 96 cases of minimally invasive puncture drainage .No significant differences were found in age , gender, lesion side,and Glasgow coma scale between the two groups ( P >0.05 ).The intraoperative bleeding volume , postoperative residual hematoma , operation time, hospitalization duration , and the postoperative clinical curative effects at 3 weeks and 6 months after operation were compared between the two groups . Results As compared with the craniotomy group , the operation time of the hard tunnel minimally invasive perforation group was significantly shorter [31 (24 -39) min vs.152 (131 -170) min, Z =-11.975, P =0.000], the intraoperative blood loss was significantly less [0 ml in 30 cases and <5 ml in 66 cases vs.(332.4 ±20.2) ml],and the hospitalization duration was significantly shorter [14 (10-17) d vs.64 (44-75) d, Z=-44.217, P=0.000].However, the postoperative residual hematoma was larger in the hard tunnel minimally invasive perforation group than in the craniotomy group [13 (8-17) ml vs.7 (4-12) ml, Z=-11.573, P=0.000].At the third week of postoperation , the Glasgow Outcome Scale in the hard tunnel minimally invasive perforation group was higher [4 (2-4) vs.3 (1-4), Z=-8.215, P=0.000], and the Barthel Index was higher [(59.9 ±4.5) vs.(54.9 ±4.9), t=7.370, P=0.000] than the craniotomy group.At sixth month postoperation, the Glasgow outcome scale in the hard tunnel minimally invasive perforation group was higher [3 (2-4) vs.2 (1-4), Z=-7.448, P=0.000], and the Barthel Index was higher [(64.3 ±8.4) vs.(59.7 ±6.8), t=4.156, P=0.000].No significant differences in mortality were found between the two groups (P >0.05). Conclusion Minimally invasive hard tunnel puncture drainage is significantly superior to craniotomy evacuation of hematoma in the treatment of HBGH and deserves to be promoted for clinical performance .
