ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of Jin’s eye three-needle acupuncture as main therapy for acquired paralytic strabismus.MethodSeventy patients with acquired paralytic strabismus were randomly allocated to acupuncture and Western medication groups. Both groups of enrolled patients took prednisone,methycobal, vitamin B1and vitamin B12. In addition, theacupuncture group received Jin’s eye three-needle acupuncture as main therapy. The clinical therapeutic effects and adverse reactions were observed after four and eight weeks of treatment.ResultThe total efficacy rate was 75.0% in the acupuncture group and 51.6% in the Western medication group after four weeks of treatment and 90.6% in the acupuncture group and 77.4% in the Western medication group after eight weeks of treatment. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups (P<0.05). Patients in the acupuncture group occasionally had acupuncture syncope and local blood stasis. Both groups had no special discomforts.ConclusionJin’s eye three-needle acupuncture has a quick and definite therapeutic effect on acquired paralytic strabismus.

Purpose To investigate the diagnostic value of the arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) using multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT). Materials and Methods Thirty-four patients who were suspected as ARVD received right ventricular radiography, including 16 ARVD patients and 15 non-ARVD patients regarded as control group. The structural and shaped change of heart on reconstructed images of long axis, short axis and four cavity surface and analyze were observed, and MSCT features of right ventricular radiography characteristics were analyzed for ARVD patients. Results Sixteen cases of ARVD were correctly diagnosed by MSCT, and 14 cases had fatty infiltration including 11 cases of apex of heart, 8 cases of inferior wall, 5 cases of anterior wall, 5 cases of anterior wall of funnel area, 3 cases of diagram, 4 cases of papillary muscle, 6 cases of muscular trabecula and moderator band and 1 case of whole right ventricular free wall. Five cases showed scallop sign, 16 cases excessive trabecular change, 11 cases thinned changes, and 16 cases enlarged changes of right ventricular wall. Conclusion MSCT features of right ventricular for ARVD have relative diagnostic characteristics, and the scallop sign and excessive trabecular change of right ventricular wall are its specific imaging characteristics.

Objective To observe the effects of fennel essential oil and water extracts (distilled oil is not included) on gastrointestinal motility disorder caused by atropine in mice.Methods Kunming mice were randomly divided into blank control group, model group atropine, water extracts group, fennel essential oil group, mosapride group. Blank control group and model group atropine were orally administered with normal saline of 0.2 ml/10 g. Water extracts group was orally administered with Water extracts (75 mg/ml) of 0.2 ml/10 g. Fennel essential oil group was orally administered with Essential oil of 300 mg/kg. Mosapride group was orally administered with mosapride(15 mg/ml). Subjects were orally treated for 3 d. After fasting for 18 h, blank control group was intraperitoneally injected saline on the fourth day, and other groups were injected atropine sulfate injection to induce animal model of gastrointestinal motility disorder. Blue dextran(BD)2000 was used to observe the gastric emptying rate and rate of intestinal propulsion. Results Gastric emptying rates of fennel essential oil group, mosapride group, water extracts group and model group atropine were respectively(91.97±4.42)%, (90.26±5.81)%, (80.01±6.27)%,(72.88±9.13)%,and intestinal pushing rates were respectively(53.32±7.49)%,(53.02±9.13)%,(44.16±7.68)%,(37.52±6.19)%.Fennel essential oil, mosapride and water extracts enhanced the gastric emptying and intestinal propulsion in gastrointestinal motility disorder animal caused by atropine(P values were 0.004、0.001、0.004、0.003、0.025、0.015),where Fennel essential oil and mosapride were superior to the water,extracts(P values were 0.000、0.002、0.001、0.001).Conclusion Fennel extracts may promote gastrointestinal movement of atropine-induced gastrointestinal motility disorder in mice and fennel essential oil is the main active ingredient.

Abstract: Transfection of Plasmodium falciparum is helpful to study the function of its genes, such as drug resistance. However, transgenic manipulation has been very challenging, mainly due to the high A/T base sequence structure (A+T content of about 82%) and low transfection efficiency of the Plasmodium genome. Electroporation-based transfection of Plasmodium falciparum has been successfully applied in the study of certain genes, and electroporation by preloading is currently the preferred method for introducing foreign DNA into Plasmodium falciparum. The site-directed editing of Plasmodium genes mostly adopts the method of two-plasmid transfection. It is generally believed that successful transfection of Plasmodium requires a large amount of high-purity plasmid DNA and an accurate transfection system. In addition to the evaluation of the current commonly used electrotransfection methods, this paper also introduces a new transfection method, namely lyse-reseal erythrocytes for transfection (LyRET). This paper also review the role of factors such as plasmid DNA concentration, the use of transfection reagents, the setting of transfection parameters, the addition of fresh red blood cells, and the markers of successful transfection in improving the success rate and efficiency of Plasmodium transfection, in the hope of providing a reference for study in this field.

Metabonomics is a new method to study on the metabolic network and the relationship between body and environment, which conforms to the way of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) research. In the study process of modernization of traditional Chinese medicine, effectively conjunction with metabonomics method will facilitate the integration of TCM with modern biological science and technology, and promote the modernization of TCM. This paper introduce the application of metabonomics in the research of toxicity mechanism of TCM, compatibility mechanism of TCM formula, pharmacology effect of TCM and processing mechanism of TCM. This paper summarize the problems in the TCM metabonomics research and prospect its bright future.

Ten isoflavonoids were isolated from the heartwoods of Caragana changduensis Lion f. by means of various column chromatographic techniques. Based on the detailed spectral data analysis (MS and NMR), as well as comparison with the literatures, their chemical structures were determined as 7,2'-dihydroxy-8,4'-dimethoxyisoflavone (1), 4'-hydroxy-7,3'-dimethoxyisoflavone (2), 5, 7, 4'-trihydroxy-2',5'-dimethoxyisoflavone (3), prunetin (4), afrormosin (5), odoratin (6), genistein (7), texasin (8), pratensein (9), and 6,7,3'-trihydroxy-4'-methoxyisoflavone (10). Among them, compounds 1-3 and 9-10 were isolated from the Caragana genus for the first time. All the compounds were obtained from this species for the first time. In the preliminary assays, compounds 1, 2, 6, and 7 possessed significant inhibitory effects on NO production, with IC50 values of 48.12, 25.32, 62.71, 43.59 μmol x L(-1), respectively.
