Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture by stages in treating post-stroke swallowing dysfunction. Method Sixty eligible patients were randomized into a staging-acupuncture group and an ordinary-acupuncture group, to respectively receive acupuncture by the stage of swallowing and ordinary acupuncture in addition to the basic treatments. Function estimation was conducted before and after intervention in both groups to compare the therapeutic efficacies.Result According to the water drinking test, the total effective rate was 83.3% in the staging-acupuncture group versus 53.3% in the ordinary-acupuncture group, and the difference was statistically significant by rank sum test (P<0.05), and the staging-acupuncture group was superior to the ordinary-acupuncture group especially in the pharyngeal stage (P<0.05); the differences were statistically insignificant in the oral stage and esophageal stage (P>0.05); regarding the video fluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS), the staging-acupuncture group was significantly better than ordinary-acupuncture group in improving swallowing function (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture by swallowing stages is effective in treating post-stroke swallowing dysfunction, especially in improving the swallowing function in pharyngeal stage.

Objective To explore the distribution and accumulation regularity of catalpol in leaves during the growth of Rehmannia glutinosa var. huechingensis. Methods HPLC method was used to determine the catalpol content in fresh medicinal materials with acetonitrile-water (0.6:99.4) as the mobile phase and 210 nm as detection wavelength. Regression equation was Y = 377.26X - 1. 054 3. The water contents of the leaves at different developmental stages were also determined, so that the catalpol content could be achieved on dry matter basis.Results Both leaves and root tubers contained catalpol. The content of catalpol in leaves rised up to peak rapidly in August or September and then degraded gradually until leaves wither and fall. The content of catalpol in root tubers increased with the growth of root tubers and reached peak until harvest. Conclusions The variation of catalpol is caused by the physiological regulation of plants. The leaves contain a considerable amount of catalpol. Further study is needed to benefit the comprehensive utilization of Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch.

Objective:To obtain the optimal conditions for separating catalpol from leaves of Rehmannia by selecting appropriate macroporous adsorption resins.Methods:The detection indication was the content of catalpol, which was determined by HPLC method. Twelve different kinds of macroporous adsorption resins were studied on the static capacity of adsorption and desorption, and H103 resin was selected for the research of separation and purification.Results:The H103 resin had a good capacity for adsorption and desorption.The best process of purifying catalpol by H103 resin was 1mg/ml concentration, the adsorption rate of 1-2 BV/h,the flow rate of 1-3 BV/h, and 8 BV with 10% alcohol.Conclusion:The method is simple and available, which can simplify the production process and lower costs.

Objective To investigate the popularity and distribution of Paragonimus westermani in Nankun Mountain,Northern suburban of Guangzhou.Methods 2012 snails and 63 crabs were picked from creeks.Three feces samples of wild cats in epidemic area and two feces samples of domestic cats inoculated with P.westermani metacercariae were collected.The cercariae,metacercariae and eggs of P.westermani were detected.P.westermani-positive cats were identified by detection,in which adults of Paragonimus were checked.P.westermani eggs artificially inoculated were also anatomized.Results Infection ratio in snails was 0.15‰(3/2000),while infection ratio of P.westermani metacercariae in crab was 100%(59/59),with an intensity of infection of 2~516 metacercariae per crab,and 2~10 matacercariae per gram crab.Snails and crabs were identified to be Semisulcospira libertina type and Sinopotamon pinheense type,respectively.P.westermani eggs were also found in two feces samples from wild cats,with an infection ratio of 66.66%(2/3).Eleven adults of P.westermani were found in two domestic cats inoculated with P.westermani.Conclusion Nankun Mountain in northern suburban of Guangzhou as an ultra-high infectious focus of P.westermani(Grade I) is reported for the first time.In view of the fact that P.westermani is one of the major disease paragonimus and the infectious focus Nankun Mountain nature reserve is an 4 A scenic spot and popular summer resort,tourists can become infected by P.westermani by drinking water from streams,springs and ponds.More attention should be paid to prevent human infection with P.westermani in Nankun Mountain.

[Objective] To observe the inhibitory effect of acupuncture combined with herbal medicine on hyperplasia of mammary glands in rats. [Methods] Rats were randomized into 6 groups: A (normal) , B (model) , C (acupuncture) , D ( herbal medicine), E (acupuncture combined with herbal medicine) and F (triphenyloxamine) . Rat models of hyperplasia of mammary glands in Group B, C, D, E and F were established by intramuscular injection of estradial benzoate and progesterone. Nipple height in rats were detected before and after treatment. The number of acini in each lobule, the diameter of acinar cavity and duct in the second pair of mammary glands were calculated under light microscope. The expression of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) in the tissues of mammary gland were examined by immunohistochemical method after treatment. [Results] Nipple height in group B was more than that in group A and the scores of ER and PR expressions were also higher (P

Objective To study the protection of taurine(TAU) against apoptosis of neurons induced by manganese(Mn) in vitro. Method Cortex neurons were separated from Wistar neonatal rats and cultured in vitro.The assays began when neurons grew under the best conditions. Cells were randomly divided into 7 groups: control group,Mn-added groups (Mn 0.2,0.6 and 1.0 mmol/L respectively),TAU-intervened groups (1.5mmol/L TAU with Mn). All treatments lasted 24h. Terminal-deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL) was used to observe the morphology of apoptosic neurons. Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to quantitate neuron apoptosic rates. Results (1) Typical morphologic charateristic was found in Mn-added groups. TAU intervention could protect against the effect of 1.5mmol/l Mn on neurons. (2) FCM indicated that TAU can protect against neurons apoptosis induced by Mn. Conclusion Taurine can protect neurons from apoptosis induced by Mn in vitro.

Objective To evaluate the effect of methylprednisolone on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in the patients undergoing hepatolobectomy.Methods Sixty ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients,aged 30-64 yr,weighing 45-75 kg,scheduled for elective hepatolobectomy,were randomized to control group or methylprednisolone group (n =30 each).After induction of anesthesia,methylprednisolone 500 mg (in 100 ml of normal saline) was infused intravenously at 5 ml/min before skin incision in group M.Anesthesia was induced with propofol,fentanyl and cisatracurium.The patients were endotracheally intubated and mechanically ventilated.PETCO2 was maintained at 35-45 mmHg.Anesthesia was maintained with 1%-3% sevoflurane inhalation,remifentanil infusion,and intermittent iv boluses of fentanyl and cisatracurium.MAP was maintained at 70-100 mmHg and HR at 50-90 bpm.At 10 min before induction of anesthesia,and on postoperative day 1,3 and 5,venous blood samples were collected for determination of the plasma levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT),aspartate amminotransferase (AST),total bilirubin (TBIL),tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6).Results Compared with group C,the plasma levels of ALT,AST and TBIL were significantly decreased on postoperative day l and 3,and the plasma concentrations of TNF-α and IL-6 were decreased on postoperative day 1,3 and 5 in group M.Conclusion Methylprednisolone can reduce hepatic I/R injury in the patients undergoing hepatolobectomy and inhibition of systemic inflammatory responses is involved in the mechanism.
