Objective:To systematically evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of tuina therapy for primary insomnia.Methods:Nine Chinese and English databases were searched from the inception to May 2017 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) studying tuina therapy for insomnia.The enrolled articles were all RCTs with tuina as the monotherapy or major therapy in the experiment group,with clear diagnostic criteria for primary insomnia well recognized worldwide or in China,and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQ I) as one of the outcome measures.Two researchers evaluated the risk of bias and quality of the enrolled studies by following Cochrane Handbook version 5.1.0.The meta-analysis was performed by RevMan version 5.3.Results:Eleven studies were included with a total of 1 076 participants.The Western medication adopted in the control groups were benzodiazepine receptor agonists.The studies were all assessed as high risk of bias for blinding since blinding method was unable to be performed due to the specificity of tuina therapy;no study reported the support of fund or potential interest conflict,so they were all rated unclear for selective reporting.The meta-analysis showed that compared with other traditional Chinese medicine therapies,tuina worked more effectively in reducing the PSQI score (MD=-4.11＜0,95％ confidence interval (CI)-6.01 to-2.22,P＜0.0001);compared with oral administration of Western medication,tuina showed more significant efficacy in reducing the PSQI score (MD=-3.42＜0,95％CI-5.19 to-1.66,P＜0.0001).Subgroup analysis showed that head tuina alone showed no significant difference compared with oral administration of Western medication regarding the change of PSQI score (MD=-4.19＜0,95％CI-8.87 to 0.50,P＞0.05);a combination of head and back tuina could more effectively reduce the PSQI score compared with oral administration of Western medication (MD=-2.08＜0,95％CI-3.09 to-1.06,P＜0.0001).Conclusion:Tuina can produce more significant efficacy in treating primary insomnia compared with other traditional Chinese medicine therapies and oral administration of Western medication,especially the combination of head and back tuina.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of methylene blue (MB) on blood-brain barrier (BBB) injury after focal cere-bral ischemia-reperfusion in rats. Methods 18 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group (n=6), model group (n=6) and MB treatment group (n=6). The left middle cerebral arteries were occluded for 1 hour and reperfused. MB was infused intra-venously immediately after reperfusion (3 mg/kg) and again 2 hours post-reperfusion (1.5 mg/kg), while normal saline was administered in the model group. The sham-operated group was treated as same as the model group without occlusion and infusion. HE staining was used to observe the histological injury in the cortex around the infarcted region 47 hours after reperfusion, while albumin immunohistochemistry was used to evaluate the permeability of the BBB, and immunohistochemistry and double immunofluorescence staining were used to exam-ine the expressions of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and aquaporin-4 (AQP-4). Results HE staining showed that cells and blood ves-sels were not intact in the cortex around the infarcted region in the model group and they were better in the MB treatment group. The expres-sions of the albumin, GFAP and AQP-4 were higher in the model group than in the sham-operated group (P<0.01), and were lower in MB treatment group than in the model group (P<0.05). The double immunofluorescence staining showed the colocalization of GFAP and AQP-4 in the astrocytes. Conclusion MB may ameliorate the BBB disruption induced by focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion through reducing glio-cyte proliferation and down-regulation of AQP-4 expression in rats.

[Objective] To investigate the clinical characteristics and blood transfusion status of patients of liver cirrhosis and analyze its rationality.[Methods] We designed questionnaires to collect the data of patients admitted with liver cirrhosis including clinical features,blood transfusion,smoking,drinking and other living habits.We follow up the patients and analyze the blood transfusion rationality.[Results] Data on 198 patients was collected.34.8％ (69/198) of all patients were transfused at least one blood component.Total blood transfusion was 371 times,of which 52.2％ of the blood transfusion cases (36/69) were transfused with two or more blood during hospitalization.Among the 69 cases of blood transfusion,11 cases were treated with the first blood transfusion for the purpose of treatment and 58 cases for prevention.18 of those cases were infused with red blood cells of 90.5 units.54.55 ％ (60/110) and 60.91％ (67/110) of patients who had a pre-transfusion INR＞1.3 did not receive plasma.2.27％ (2/88) of patients who had a pre-transfusion INR≤1.3 received plasma.29.41％ (5/17)who had a pre-transfusion fib≤1.0 received cryoprecipitate.3.87％(7/181) who had a pre-transfusion fib＞1.0 received cryoprecipitate.[Conclusions] Blood transfusion is common in patients with liver cirrhosis.Empirical and preventive blood transfusion is common also.We should take a more scientific restrictive blood transfusion strategy.

Objective To investigate the respective effects of highly concentrated amino acids, highly concentrated glucose and mixture of the above two on the proliferation and extracellular matrix synthesis of glomerular mesangial cells. Methods Mesangial cells were cultured with mannitol (13.3 mmol/L ), highly concentrated amino acids (13.3 mmol/L), highly concentrated glucose (30.5 retool/L) and the mixture of highly concentrated amino acids and highly concentrated glucose repectively. Mesangial cell proliferation was examined by MTT and flow cytometry. The mRNA expression of TGF-β1,ColⅣ and fibronectin (FN) was detected by semi- quantitative RT-PCR, and the protein expression was detected by ELISA, Western blot and radioimmunoassay. Results (1) Cellular proliferation was increased in response to amino acids and was further enhanced by increased levels of both amino acids and glucose in a time-depentent manner. And the most prominent action occured at 48 hours. (2) Among the three group, mesangial cell cycle was affected, and the number of G0/G1 mesangial cells was reduced, but the number of cycle S cells was improved. (3) In the three group, the mRNA and protein expression of TGF-β1 was improved [protein unit: ng·ml-1·(105 cells)-1, 3023±85, 3163±80, 3321+85 vs 1506±63, P< 0.05]. (4)In the three group, the mRNA and protein expression of Col Ⅳ and FN was enhanced [protein unit: ng'ml-1(105 cells)-1, Col Ⅳ:16.78±2.56, 18.65±2.56, 22.83±2.45 vs 10.22±2.54, P<0.01; FN:18.47±2.34, 13.58±3.13, 17.98±2.56 vs 8.22±2.54, P<0.05]. The expression of Col Ⅳ mRNA and protein was stronger when the cells were cultured with the mixture of highly concentrated amino acids and highly concentrated glucose. Conclusions Highly concentrated amino acid can promote cell proliferation similarly to highly concentrated glucose, which may be through increasing the activity of mesangial cells and the synthesis of extracellular matrix via TGF- β1 signaling way. Highly concentrated amino acid has the synergism with highly concentrated glucose.
