Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus contralateral needling in treating post-stoke myodystonia. Method Totally 120 patients with post-stroke myodystonia were randomized into group A, B, C and D, 30 in each group. Group A was intervened by yin-reducing and yang-tonifying needling method plus contralateral needling; group B was by ordinary acupuncture plus contralateral needling, group C was by yin-reducing and yang-tonifying needling alone, while group D by ordinary acupuncture. Clinical Spasticity Index (CSI) was observed before and after intervention. Result After treatment, the CSI scores (tendon reflex, muscle tension, episodic spasm scores and total score) were significantly changed in the four groups (P<0.01, P<0.05). The tendon reflex score, muscle tension score and total score in group A were significantly different from that in the other three groups after intervention (P<0.01,P<0.05). There was a significant difference in comparing the episodic spasm score between group A and D after intervention (P<0.01). There were significant differences in comparing the tendon reflex score, muscle tension score and total score between group B and D after intervention (P<0.05). The total score in group C was markedly different from that in group D after intervention (P<0.05). Conclusion Yin-reducing and yang-tonifying needling method plus contralateral needling is an effective method in treating post-stroke myodystonia.

An HPLC method for the determination of 18alpha-glycyrrhetinic acid and 18beta-glycyrrhetinic acid in rat plasma was established, which was used subsequently to determine the pharmacokinetic profiles of both epimers of glycyrrhetinic acid in rats. alpha-glycyrrhetinic acid, beta-glycyrrhetinic acid, and a mixture of alpha-glycyrrhetinic and beta-glycyrrhetinic acids were administered to rats via gastric infusion. Blood samples were collected at different time intervals and extracted by liquid-liquid extraction. Separation was achieved by using a Kromasil C18 column (150 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 microm) with the mobile phase composed of acetonitrile--4 mmol x L(-1) ammonium acetate solution (46 : 54, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL x min(-1), and the detection wavelength was set at 250 nm. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using the software DAS 2.0. In a combined administration, the main pharmacokinetic parameters of beta-glycyrrhetinic acid are significantly different from that of alpha-glycyrrhetinic acid (P < 0.05), while no significant difference was obtained when administrated individually. Compared to the single administration, significant differences (P < 0.05) on the values of AUC(0-t) and AUC(0-infinity) of beta-glycyrrhetinic acid were observed when this chemical was administrated together with alpha-glycyrrhetinic acid. In contrast, the pharmacokinetic parameters of alpha-glycyrrhetinic acid were not affected even under the co-administration. Here, a sensitive, specific, rapid and reproducible HPLC method was developed for the pharmacokinetic studies of alpha-glycyrrhetinic acid and beta-glycyrrhetinic acid in rat plasma.

Objective An ELISA-based assay for detecting alloantibodies against FⅧ was established to estimate the incidence of alloantibodies against FⅧ in treated patients with hemophilia A. Methods One hundred and forty patients with hemophilia A and 80 healthy controls were enrolled. Among hemophilia A patients, 84, 34 and 22 patients were in severe, moderate and mild conditions respectively. All patients were treated with plasma-derived FⅧ concentrates before. The titer wells were coated with MoAb against FⅧ which was developed in our laboratory. Then human recombinant FⅧ concentrates were applied. After incubation in room temperature for 2 hours, diluted plasma samples and HRP-conjugated goat anti-human IgG were added successively. Finally Absorbance (A490) were measured and recorded. Inhibitor activity against FⅧ for all plasma samples was measured by a modified Nijmegen assay simultaneously. Results The results showed that alloantibodies against FⅧ were found in 40.0% (56/140) patients by ELISA. And the alloantibody incidences in the severe and non-severe patients were 47.6% (40/84) and 28.5% (16/56)respectively. There was statistical significance between these two categories (x2 = 5.079, P < 0.05 ). The FⅧ inhibitor activity was detected in 24.3% (34/140) patients by modified Nijmegen assay. The inhibitor incidences in the severe and non-severe patients were 33.3% (28/84) and 10.7% (6/56) respectively.There was statistical significance (x2 = 9.349, P < 0.05). Twenty-five patients were positive for FⅧ alloantibodies by ELISA but had no FⅧ inhibitor activity by the modified Nijmegen assay. The positive rates of FⅧ alloantibodies and inhibitor activity were 40.0% (56/140) and 24.3% (34/140) respectively,which had significant difference (x2 = 15.75, P < 0.01 ) and strong positive correlation ( rn = 0.59, P <0.01 ). Meanwhile the results deduced from these two tests shared a high consistency rate ( Kappa = 0.55,P <0.01 ). Conclusions The detection rate for alloantibodies against F Ⅷ is enhanced by our newlydeveloped ELISA. Our results suggest that the occurrence of the alloantibodies against F Ⅷ in Chinese hemophilia A patients is not rare and the alloantibody incidence is preponderant in the patients with severe hemophilia A compared with non-severe hemophilia A patients.
