Objective To observe the surface area temperature of dysmenorrhea rats with cold stagnation syndrome; To compare the different effects of Sanyinjiao (SP6) and Guanyuan (RN4).Methods Forty female SD rats were randomized into control group, model group, Sanyinjiao (SP6) group, and Guanyuan (RN4) group, 12 rats in each group. Whole body freezing method combined with estradiol benzoate injection was used to establish models. Sanyinjiao (SP6) group and Guanyuan (RN4) group received moxibustion at corresponding points for 3 times after modeling. Infrared thermal imaging was used to measure the skin temperature at the surface projection area of Sanyinjiao (SP6) and Xuehai (SP10) and Sanyinjiao-Xuehai lines before and after moxibustion.Results Compared with control group, the temperature gap between double sides of Sanyinjiao-Xuehai lines significantly increased in model group 5-30 min after moxibustion (P<0.05). 30 min after moxibustion, the temperature of right Sanyinjiao significantly decreased in other three groups (P<0.01). Compared with model group, the temperature gap between double sides of Sanyinjiao-Xuehai lines significantly decreased after 5-30 min in Sanyinjiao group (P<0.05), while Sanyinjiao-Xuehai lines significantly decreased after 10-30 min in Guanyuan group (P<0.05). Comparison between two moxibustion groups, the influence of Sanyinjiao group to temperature gap between double sides of Sanyinjiao-Xuehai lines was earlier than Guanyuan group (P<0.05).Conclusion Moxbustion can decrease the temperature gap between double sides of Sanyinjiao-Xuehai lines and ease the imbalance. And the influence of moxbustion SP6 to temperature gap between double sides of Sanyinjiao-Xuehai lines is earlier than moxibustion RN4.

Objective To investigate the clinical features, treatment, and outcome characteristics of patients with Merkel cell carcinoma. Methods The clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, diagnosis and treatment, and follow-up data of six patients with Merkel cell carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed. Results Among the six patients with Merkel cell carcinoma, four were males and two were females, with a median age of 66 years old (57-76 years old). All six patients presented with skin swelling, and the clinical stages were as follows: stageⅠ in three patients, stage Ⅲ in one patient, and stage IV in two patients. Two patients were treated with surgery alone, three patients with surgery combined with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy, and one patient with immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy. Until the follow-up time, four patients had no disease progression, one patient died because of disease progression, and one patient remained under treatment. Conclusion Limited-stage Merkel cell carcinoma is primarily treated with surgery and radiotherapy, meanwhile, metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma needs systemic therapy, and first-line immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting PD-1/ PD-L1 pathway can achieve better therapeutic results.

Objective To observe the effects of electro-acupuncturing (EA)at “Baihui”(DU20)and“Zusanli”(ST36)on the visceral sensitivity and emotional and psychological behavior of the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)model rats,and to explore the double adjustment of electro-acupuncture on chron-ic visceral pain with emotional and psychological dysfunction.Methods Wistar immature rats were ran-domly divided into normal group,model group and electro-acupuncture group.The IBS model was in-duced by mechanical colorectal irritation of acetic acid combined with maternal separation in the postnatal period.Rats of normal group and model group underwent no intervention while those of electro-acupunc-ture group were needled at “Baihui”and “Zusanli”every other day for ten days.The visceral sensitivity was evaluated and the open-filed test was used,and the mRNA of neurokinin-1(NK1)receptor was de-tected by using RT-PCR.Results The treatment of acupuncture reduced significanty the visceral sensi-tivity,crossing activity and vertical activity in open field test,and the mRNA expression of NK1.Con-clusion The double adjustment of electro-acupuncturing at “Baihui”and “Zusanli”on chornic visceral sensitivity with emotional and psychological dysfunction was proved.

Objective To compare the effects and explore mechanism of acupoints on various meridians or nerve segments in treating different symptoms in one disease.Methods Neonatal Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: normal control group, model group, ST36 group, and LI14 group (n=10-12 in each group).IBS model was established by administering acetic acid enema combining colorectal distension (CRD) test to rats in all groups except the normal control group.These rats were all isolated from their mothers.2-month old rats in the ST36 group and LI14 group received electro-acupuncture five times, once every two days for 20 minutes.Stool consistency was evaluated according to the Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS), and visceral sensitivity was observed based on abdominal withdraw reflection (AWR).Levels of TRPV1 and 5-HT2AR in rat colon tissues were measured with immunohistochemical method.Results Before electro-acupuncture stimulation, BSFS score of rats in all groups increased significantly (P<0.01) compared with the normal control group;after electro-acupuncture, BSFS score of the model group (P<0.01) and LI14 group (P<0.05) were increased;threshold value of intestinal pressure of model group and ST36 group decreased (P<0.01), and the contraction waves increased significantly (P<0.01).Positive TRPV1 expression increased (P<0.01);and TRPV1 expression in LI14 group increased (P<0.05).The level of 5-HT2AR in the model group and LI14 group were raised markedly (P<0.01).Compared with the model group, BSFS score of the EA groups decreased significantly (P<0.01);threshold value of intestinal pressure increased (P<0.01);contraction wave decreased significantly (P<0.01), and the expression of TRPV1 and 5-HT2AR reduced significantly (P<0.01).Compared with the ST36 group, BSFS score of the LI14 group increased significantly (P<0.05);expression of TRPV1 reduced (P<0.01), and the level of 5-HT2AR increased significantly (P<0.01).Conclusion Stimulating LI4 and ST36 with electro-acupuncture could reduce the visceral sensitivity and the gastrointestinal motility disorder in IBS model rat.LI4 has a better effect of treating gastrointestinal motility disorder, and ST36 has a better effect of relieving visceral pain.This study illustrates the existence of therapeutic specificity of acupoints, which means acupoints on different meridians or ganglions can be used to treat the same disease yet with different effects.

Objective Infrared thermal imaging can be applied to the diagnosis and auxiliary diagnosis of some diseases . The aim of this study is to explore acupuncture-induced changes in skin temperature in acupoint areas and whether skin temperature in -creases or decreases in the acupoint areas along meridians . Methods Thirty two female SD rats were randomly and equally divided into four groups:saline control,cold congealing and dysmenorrhea model , Sanyinjiao (SP6), and Guanyuan( CV4).Models were es-tablished in the latter three groups by subcutaneous injection of estradiol benzoate at 0.5 mg for 10 successive days and , 1hour after the last administration , intraperitoneal injection of oxytocin at 2 U, followed by exposure of the rats to-25℃in a freezer 4 hours a day for 5 days.Meanwhile , the control rats received normal saline only and were not exposed to low temperature .Infrared thermal imaging was used to measure the skin temperature at the acupoint areas of SP6, Xuehai (SP10), and CV4 before and at 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 min after needling . R esults At 0 to 5 min after nee-dling, the skin temperature of the left SP6 and right SP10 was signifi-cantly decreased in both the SP6 and CV4 groups ( [ -0. 56 ± 0.22]℃and [-0.48 ±0.11]℃, P<0.01), and so was that of the right SP10 ([ -0.64 ±0.21]℃ and [ -0.45 ±0.13]℃, P<0.05).At 5 to 10min, the skin temperature of the right SP6 and SP10 was markedly increased in the SP6 group ([-0.49 ±0.35]℃and [-0 .18 ±0.20]℃, P<0.01), and so was that of the right SP6 in the SP6 group at 20 to 30 min ([ -0.14 ±0.25]℃) as compared with the model and CV4 groups (P<0.01).At 30 to 40 min, the skin temperature of the right SP10 was remarkably elevat-ed in the SP6 group ([ -0.03 ±0.11]℃) in comparison with the model group (P<0.01).No significant differences were observed in the skin temperature of the left SP10 and CV4 at different time points among the four groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The skin temperature of SP6 and SP10 can be regulated by needling both the acupoints of SP 6 and CV4.The increase in the skin temperature of the right SP6 and SP10 in the SP6 group and no change in the CV 4 group indicated dynamic temperature changes in the acupoint area along the meridian after needling.

Objective To explore the effect of different acupuncture stimuli on uterine micro-circulation of dysmenorrheal rats with cold stagnation syndrome. Methods Totally 32 three-month old female SD rats in diestrus were randomly divided into saline control group, model group, A stimuli group, and B stimuli group, 8 rats in each group. Model group and treatment groups were given whole body freezing combined with estradiol benzoate injection method to establish models. A stimuli group was given deep puncture with manipulation, while B stimuli group was treated by shallow puncture without manipulation. Diameter of uterine capillary,micro-vessel, TXB2, and 6-keto-PGF1αlevels were observed in each group. Results Compared with the saline group, capillary diameter in model group was significantly reduced at 5, 10, 20, 30 min time point (P<0.01);micro-vascular diameter was significantly reduced at 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 min time point (P<0.01);plasma 6-keto-PGF1α levels decreased (P<0.01);TXB2/6-keto-PGF1αincreased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with model group, capillary diameter in A stimuli group enlarged at 5, 10, 20, 30 min time point (P<0.05), micro-vascular diameter dilated at 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 min time point (P <0.01), plasma 6-keto-PGF1α level increased (P <0.05), TXB2/6-keto-PGF1αdecreased significantly (P<0.05);micro-vascular diameter in B stimuli group dilated at 20, 30 min time point (P<0.05), plasma TXB2/6-keto-PGF1α decreased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with B stimuli group, capillary diameter in A stimuli group dilated at 5, 10, 20, 30 min time point (P<0.05) and micro-vascular diameter dilated at 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 min time point significantly (P<0.01). Conclusion Dysmenorrheal rats with cold stagnation syndrome show obvious disorder of the uterus micro-circulation and circulation related substances. Both A and B acupuncture stimuli improved uterus micro-circulation of dysmenorrheal rats with cold stagnation syndrome, and its mechanism may be related to the recovery the balance between TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1α.

Objective To observe the analgesic effect of acupuncture at Guanyuan (CV4) and its effect on vasomotor substances in rats with dysmenorrhea due to coagulated cold syndrome. Method The coagulated-cold dysmenorrhea rat model was developed by Estrodiol benzoate and Oxytocin injectin plus physical freezing. The writhing response (writhing latency, writhing frequency, and writhing score) was observed, and the contents of TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1a were detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Result Compared with the saline water group, the writhing latency was significantly shortened, the writhing frequency was significantly increased, and the writhing score was more significantly increased in the model group (P<0.01);compared with the model group, the writhing latency was significantly prolonged, the writhing frequency was decreased, and the writhing score was significantly lower in the acupuncture group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with saline water group, the content of plasma 6-keto-PGF1a was significantly lower (P<0.05) and the content of plasma TXB2 showed an increasing tendency (P>0.05) in the model group. Compared with the model group, the content of plasma 6-keto-PGF1a showed an increasing tendency (P>0.05) and the content of plasma TXB2 showed a decreasing tendency (P>0.05) in the acupuncture group. Conclusion The vasomotor substances are obviously disordered in the blood of cold-coagulated dysmenorrhea rat models. Acupuncture at Guanyuan can improve the writhing response and release pain, and meanwhile positively regulate the vasomotor substances such as TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1a. The vasomotor substances are plausibly one of the major substances in the action of acupuncture in preventing and treating dysmenorrhea.

Objective:To investigate the antibacterial and osteogenic properties of biomimetic mineralized iodine-loaded coating with micro-nano topography on the surface of bone implants.Methods:After the fiber network structure of sodium hydrogen titanate was constructed by alkali thermal reaction on the surface of Ti6Al4V (noted as AT), it was biomimetically mineralized in the modified simulated body fluid to form a micro-nano topology with high specific surface area (noted as AT-CaP), and finally loaded with PVPI to construct a novel antibacterial osseointegration coating (noted as AT-CaP-PVPI). The study was conducted in AT, AT-CaP, and AT-CaP-PVPI groups, in each of which 3 parallel experiments were performed. The morphology and colony counting of Staphylococcus aureus on the coating surface were observed to detect the in vitro antibacterial performance of the coating. Fifteen male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n=5): AT, AT-CaP, and AT-CaP-PVPI. After intramedullary injection of Staphylococcus aureus into the lower end of the femur in the SD rats, titanium rods coated with AT, AT-CaP, and AT-CaP-PVPI were inserted into the marrow cavity. The osteogenesis, volume ratio of new bone mass and number of trabeculae on the surface of the femoral implants were compared between the 3 groups 4 weeks after operation. Results:In AT and AT-CaP groups, a large number of bacteria grew in their inherent elliptical or spherical shape on the implant surface and a large number of colonies were seen on the plate; in AT-CaP-PVPI group, the bacteria on the coating surface exhibited membrane deformation and depression, some of them were completely broken and dissolved, and a large number died. There was almost no new bone formation around the implants in AT group; new bone scattered around the implants with discontinuous distribution in AT-CaP group; a great amount of new bone was seen around the implants with even distribution but no signs of infection in AT-CaP-PVPI group. The volume ratio of new bone mass and the number of trabeculae on the implant surface in AT-CaP-PVPI group were 0.453±0.206 and 6.055±0.536, respectively, significantly higher than those in AT group (0.046±0.028 and 1.667±1.249) and AT-CaP group (0.188±0.052 and 3.804±0.889) ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Biomimetic mineralized iodine-loaded coating with micro-nano topography on the surface of bone implants shows good antibacterial and osteogenic properties.

Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture at guānyuán (CV4)on the skin temperature of bilateral sānyīnjīao (SP6)of dysmenorrhea rats with coagulation cold pattern,and to explore the po-tential mechanism related to TXB2 /6-keto-PGF1a .Methods Rats were randomly divided into saline con-trol group,dysmenorrhea rats with coagulation cold pattern group (model group)and needling at CV4 group (acupuncture group).The dysmenorrhea rat model with coagulation cold model was induced by whole body freezing combined with injection of estradiol benzoate and oxytocin.The infrared thermal ima-ging technology was used to detect the skin temperature at bilateral SP6 at the time point of 0,5,10, 20,30,40,50,60 minutes.Meanwhile,the serum thromboxane B2 (TXB2 )and 6-keto-prostaglan-din1a (6-keto-PGF1a )were measured by using ELISA.Results The skin temperature of left or right SP6 in saline control group showed balance at baseline and each time point (P >0.05).The model rats’ skin temperature of left or right SP6 was out of balance at the time points from 5 to 60 minutes (P <0.05 or P <0.01).After the treatment of acupuncture at CV4,the temperatures began to achieve balance be-tween left and right SP6 from the time point of 40 minute (P >0.05).Compared with the saline control group,the serum TXB2 /6-keto-PGF1a in model group significantly increased (P <0.05),and after nee-dling at CV4,the serum TXB2 /6-keto-PGF1a significantly decreased (P <0.05).Conclusion The sig-nificant effect of needling at CV4 against the imbalance of bilateral skin temperature of SP6 of dysmenor-rhea rats with coagulation cold pattern would appear 10 to 40 minutes after needling.The mechanism may be related to the regulation of imbalance of vasomotor substances TXB2 /6-keto-PGF1a .
