Objective To investigate the influence of donepezil hydrochloride and hyperbaric oxygen on cognitive function in patients with vascular dementia.Methods 61 cases of patients with vascular dementia were chosen to research,and were divided into research group(31 cases)and control group(30 cases),the control group was treated with piracetam,the research group was treated with donepezil hydrochloride and hyperbaric oxygen,after 12 weeks of treatment congnitive function,daily life quality and adverse reaction between two group were compared. Results The ADL score and MMSE score between the two group had no significant difference before treatment(all P <0.05).The MMSE score of the research group were higher than the control group[(18.71 ±3.29)points vs (15.83 ±3.45)points]after treatment,the difference was statistically significant (t =3.337,P <0.05).The ADL score of the research group were lower than control group[(37.12 ±7.13)points vs (42.53 ±6.74)points],the difference was statistically significant (t =3.026,P <0.05).4 cases of mild to moderate earache and 1 case of mild diarrhea occurred in the research group,and 1 case of upper abdominal pain occurred in the control group,there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (χ2 =0.803,P >0.05 ). Conclusion Donepezil hydrochloride combined with hyperbaric oxygen could effectively improve the cognitive function of patients with vascular dementia,and with good safety.

OBJECTIVE To explore the role of gecko crude peptides (GCPs) in the proliferation, apoptosis, migration and lymphangiogenesis of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG2) and human lymphaticendothelial cells (HLECs) in vitro. METHODS The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was used to evaluate the anti- proliferative effect of GCPs and siRNA-VEGF-C on HepG2 cells, Hoechst 33258 staining and flow cytometry were performed to analyze cycle and apoptosis. The migration and invasion ability of cells were assayed by transwell chamber experiment and wound-healing assay. The protein and mRNA expressions of vascular endo?thelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) and CXC chemokine receptor-4 (CXCR4) were detected by q-PCR, immunofluorescence, Western blot. The protein expressions of the extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERKI/2), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p38-mitogen activated protein kinases (p38 MAPK), serine/threonine kinase (Akt) and phosphatidylinositol- 3- kinase (PI3K) were detected by western blot. The anti-lymphangiogenesis effect of GCPs on the HLECs was analyzed using an in vitro tube-formation assay. The protein and mRNA expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3 (VEGFR-3) and stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) were detected by q-PCR, Western blot. RESULTS GCPs and siRNA-VEGF-C inhibited HepG2 proliferation, invasion and migration, and the most obvious inhibitory effect was both synergistic effects. Thus, GCPs suppressed HLECs proliferation, migration and tube-like structure formationin a dose- dependent manner, and had inhibitory effect of tumor- induced lymphangiogenesis in vitro. Additionally, we found that GCPs and siRNA- VEGF- C decreased the expressions of MMP-2, MMP-9, VEGF-C, CXCR4, phospho-ERK1/2, phospho-P38, phospho-JNK and PI3K in HepG2 cells. Moreover, GCPs had a dose-dependent depressive effecton the expressions of VEGFR- 3, SDF- 1 in HLECs. CONCLUSION The low expression of VEGF- C mediated by siRNA-VEGF-C and GCPs inhibit tumor proliferation, invasion and migrationby suppressing the MAPK signaling pathway through reduced levels of VEGF-C, and GCPs inhibit tumor lymphangiogenesis by suppressing the CXCR4/SDF-1 signaling pathway through suppressed VEGF-C/VEGFR-3.

OBJECTIVETo observe the therapeutic effect of acupoint-injection combined with manipulation training on child cerebral palsy.

METHODSThe patients in the treatment group were treated with acupoint-injection combined with manipulation training and activator of brain cells, and the control group with simple manipulation training and activator of brain cells. Their therapeutic effects were compared.

RESULTSAfter treatment of 3-4 courses, the total effective rate of 92.3% in the treatment group was superior to 75.9% in the control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe therapeutic effect of acupoint-injection combined with manipulation training on child cerebral palsy is better than that of the simple manipulation training.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of intervention with unilateral mastication on masseter muscle asymmetry.

METHODSForty-three subjects (19 males and 24 females, mean age 20.0∓0.5 years) with unilateral chewing were divided into group A0 with motivation and without intervention, group A1 with motivation and intervention, group B0 without motivation or intervention, and group B1 without motivation but with intervention. In groups A0 and A1, the motivation was removed and groups A1 and group B1 received interventions. Surface electromyography was recorded using surface electromyography in all the subjects in mandible postural position (MPP), with maximum clenching in intercuspal position (ICP) and during chewing. The sEMG of the left and right masseter muscle were separately recorded to assess the asymmetry index of the masseter muscles (ASMM) and its changes after intervention.

RESULTSIn groupA0, the ASMM at MPP, during maximum clenching and chewing had no obvious changes after removal of the motivation. In group A1, the ASMM at MPP, during maximum clenching and chewing were obviously decreased after intervention. In group B0, the ASMM at MPP and during maximum clenching showed no obvious changes but ASMM during chewing significantly increased after removal of the motivation. In group B1, the ASMM at MPP, during maximum clenching and chewing all decreased obviously after intervention.

CONCLUSIONInterventions can significantly improve the bilateral symmetry of the masseter muscles in subjects with unilateral chewing, and the motivation for unilateral chewing should be removed before intervention.
