Patients with metastatic prostate cancer are typically managed with androgen deprivation therapy. Most patients initially respond to treatment, but many eventually develop castration-resistant prostate cancer. Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is a highly aggressive subtype of castration-resistant prostate cancer, which often results from neuroendocrine differentiation of prostate cancer cells. NEPC has a dismal outcome with an average survival of less than 1 year and exhibits less response to radiochemotherapy. At least 25%of patients with lethal castration-resistant prostate cancer are predicted to eventually develop this type of highly-aggres-sive NEPC. However, research on the molecular mechanism of NEPC is limited;thus, further studies are needed to explore the develop-ment and application of anticancer drugs for NEPC.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect ofTong Du acupuncture-moxibustion, conventional acupuncture, and medication on the bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) mobilization markers CD34+and CD133+, neurological deficit score in patients with ischemic stroke.Method Totally 120 eligible subjects with ischemic stroke were randomized into aTong Du acupuncture-moxibustion group (group A), a conventional acupuncture group (group B), and a medication group (group C), 40 in each group. In addition to the conventional medication given to all three groups, patients in group A also received moxibustion at Baihui (GV20), bloodletting at Dazhui (GV14), and acupuncture at Fengchi (GB20), Quchi (LI11), Hegu (LI4), Zusanli (ST36), and Sanyinjiao (SP6); patients in group B also received acupuncture at Fengchi, Quchi, Hegu, Zusanli, and Sanyinjiao; group C received patent Chinese medicine Tong Xin Luo capsules. The intervention lasted 14 d in all three groups. The CD34+and CD133+and neurological deficit score were evaluated and compared before and after intervention.Result The three treatment methods all significantly increased the level of CD34 + and CD133+in peripheral blood (P<0.05,P<0.01); the intergroup comparisons showed significant differences among the three groups (P<0.05), and the level in group A was significantly different from that in group B and C (P<0.05), while there was no significant difference between group B and C (P>0.05); the three treatment methods all improved the neurological deficit score to various extent, and the result in group A was significantly different from that in group B and C (P<0.05,P<0.01), and there was also a significant difference between group B and C (P<0.05).ConclusionsTong Du acupuncture-moxibustion, conventional acupuncture, and medication can influence the BMSCs and neurological deficit to different extent; the effect ofTong Du acupuncture-moxibustion on the BMSCs and neurological deficit is more significant than that of the conventional acupuncture and medication, suggesting thatTong Du acupuncture-moxibustion method should have advantage in treating cerebral infarction.
