Objective: To observe the efficacy of acupuncture combined with naloxone hydrochloride in the treatment of coma after surgery for cerebral hemorrhage and to explore its possible mechanism of action. Methods: Seventy-two patients were divided into a control group and an observation group according to the random number table method, with 36 cases in each group. The control group was treated with intravenous naloxone hydrochloride, and the observation group received additional acupuncture treatment. After 1 month of treatment, the awakening rate, Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score, cerebral edema volume, mean velocity (Vm) of the middle cerebral artery, and cerebrospinal fluid Caspase-3, and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) levels were compared between the two groups. Results: During the study, there were 2 cases of shedding in the control group and 34 remaining valid cases; 1 case of shedding in the observation group and 35 remaining valid cases. After treatment, the awakening rate was higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05); the GCS score increased in both groups compared with that before treatment (P<0.05), and was higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05); the volume of cerebral edema decreased in both groups (P<0.05), and was smaller in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05); the middle cerebral artery Vm increased in both groups (P<0.05), and was higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05); the cerebrospinal fluid Caspase-3 and MIF levels decreased significantly in both groups (P<0.05) and were lower in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture combined with naloxone hydrochloride for the treatment of coma after surgery for cerebral hemorrhage can promote patients' awakening, improve the degree of coma, reduce the volume of cerebral edema, and enhance cerebral blood flow velocity, producing a better effect than naloxone hydrochloride used alone; it may be related to its reduction of cerebrospinal fluid Caspase-3 and MIF levels.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the proliferation effect of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) on prostate in aged rats at the environmental exposure dose and the possible mechanism.METHODS Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 1.5 years,were randomly divided into 4 groups (8 rats per group) and treated with DEHP (30,90 and 270 μg· kg-1,ig) and vehicle once daily respectively for 4 weeks.All the animals were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium and sacrificed on the day subsequent to the last treatment.① Abdominal aortic blood samples were collected,and serum estradiol (E2),testosterone (T) and prolactin (PRL) levels were assayed by ELISA.② The prostate tissues were dissected and categorized into different lobes,weighed and measured.The prostate relative mass was calculated.③ The morphological changes were detected by HE staining and prostate epithelial height was analyzed with microscopic image analysis software.RESULTS Compared with vehicle control group,the prostate relative mass,dorsolateral prostate mass,and dorsolateral prostate index in DEHP 270 μg· kg-1 group were significantly higher (P＜0.05).The height of the ventral prostate epithelium in DEHP 30,90 and 270 μg· kg-1 groups was increased significantly (P＜0.01),so was the height of dorsal prostate epithelium in DEHP 270 μg· kg-1 group (P＜0.01).There were no significant changes in levels of E2,PRL or T in DEHP 30,90 and 270 μg· kg-1 groups,but the ratios of E2/T in DEHP 30 and 270 μμg· kg-1 groups were increased significantly (P＜0.05).CONCLUSION Low-dose DEHP could promote the proliferation of prostatic hyperplasia in the aged rats,which might be associated with the relative levels of endogenous hormone.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the outcomes of umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem call transplantation for treating neural function of multiple system atrophy (MSA) patients.METHODS:A total of 20 MSA patients were selected at the Beijing Wu Stem Cells Medical Center from January to October 2008.All patients received treatment of vessel distention,anti-free radical,trophic nerve and call membrane stabilization,as well as umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem call transplantation via intrathecal injection.Patients at left-lateral position,and body bent at hips,knees and necks.Acupuncture was conducted at the space of lumbar vertebra 3 and 4.Following local anesthesia,No.9 needle was directly pricked into the subarachnoid cavity.2 mg dexamethasone was slowly infused,and 5 mL (5×106 stem cells) umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stern call injection was obtained and slowly infused into the subarachnoid cavity within 10 minutes,once per week,four times as a course,totally one course.We adopted Unified Multiple System Atrophy Rating Scale (UMSARS) to evaluate those MSA patients.The higher score represented a severe pathogenetic condition.RESULTS:Compared with pretransplantation,the UMSARS score was significantly decreased in 20 patients 4 weeks follwing transplantation (P ＜ 0.01).After the treatment,patient's clinical symptoms such as slow movement,balance disturbance,orthostatic hypotension,urinary and bowel disorders had full obvious improvement.Graft versus host disease was not found.CONCLUSION:It is indicated that mesenchymal stem call transplantation is effective,can partly improve MSA patients' clinical symptoms,and improve patients' life quality.

Objective:To explore the application of immunotherapy and whole course management of immune-related adverse reactions in elderly patients with lung adenosquamous carcinoma.Methods:Clinical data of an 83-year-old patient with advanced lung adenosquamous carcinoma who underwent immunotherapy during hospitalization were retrospectively analyzed.Clinical features of immunotherapy for elderly patients with lung cancer were analyzed.Results:Compared with younger patients, immunotherapy for adenocarcinoma has similar clinical benefits and toxicity in the elderly.However, immunosenescence and comorbidity in the elderly and immune-related complications such as the progression of interstitial pneumonia, are common in the elderly.Conclusions:There is no evident age-related difference in the benefit of immunotherapy.For patients of advanced age with multiple complications and frailty, a comprehensive geriatric assessment may help improve clinical prognosis.

Objective To investigate MR T2-mapping in evaluating birth-related levator ani muscle injury.Methods 25 primiparas at 6 weeks after first vaginal delivery as primiparous group and 12 nulliparous volunteers as control group were prospectively studied. All the subjects underwent pelvic MRI including T2-mapping,mDIXON-T2 WI sequences.Levator ani muscle were divided into two subgroups:levator ani muscle injury group and non-injury group according to if there were edema,avulsion,or rupture in each levator ani muscle subdivisions[puborectal muscle(PRM);iliococcygeal muscle(ICM)],which were showed on mDIXON-T2 WI images.Two radiologists evaluated T2 values of PRM,ICM and observed artificial color images respectively.The consistency between two observers for T2 values of PRM,ICM were evaluated using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC ),the difference of T2 values in each levator ani muscle subdivisions among control group,non-injury group and muscle injury group were analyzed using ANOVA .Results There were 26 PRM injury cases and 24 non-injury cases in primiparous group on mDIXON-T2 WI images,and no ICM injured cases in our study.Inter-rater reliability for T2 values between two observers were good(ICC >0.75).T2 values in PRM injury group,non-injury group and control group were(62.78±1.23)ms,(49.75±3.17)ms,(49.96±4.37)ms respectively and the difference was significant. There were significant difference between PRM injury group and non-injury group,control group respectively(P =0.000,P =0.000). The T2 values of ICM in PRM injury group,non-injury group and control group were(70.80±6.50)ms,(62.41±7.32)ms,(62.78±6.91)ms and there were significant difference(P =0.000),meanwhile the difference between PRM injury group and non-injury group,control group were significant respectively(P =0.000,P =0.000).The color gradation of PRM in PRM injury group were mixed with blue, green,and yellow,and tone were lightened on T2-mapping artificial color images;ICM color gradation were uneven with green and yellow, a d tone were higher than those of control group and non-injurygroup.Conclusion T2-mapping can quantitatively assess birth-related levator ani muscle injury and T2-mapping artificial color images show the range and degree of levator ani muscle injury visually.It is hopeful to find micro lesions that T2 WI images are difficult to find.

Objective:A prospective, multicenter randomized controlled clinical research was conducted to explore the diagnostic value of the new optical staining technology for domestic endoscope, spectral focused imaging (SFI) and variable intelligent staining technology (VIST), for gastric precancerous lesions.Methods:Patients who intended to undergo gastroscopy between August 2020 and May 2021 were randomly divided into the white light group and the new optical staining group at the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. A sequential examination method was applied (white light to new optical staining or new optical staining to white light). The endoscopic diagnostic results and the detection results of Helicobacter pylori ( HP) of the two groups were recorded. At the same time, such five variables as gastric mucosal atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, fold enlargement, nodular gastritis and diffuse redness were evaluated for the risk of gastric cancer in the two groups. Results:A total of 419 cases were enrolled, including 208 cases in the white light group and 211 cases in the new optical staining group. Compared with pathological findings, the detection rates of gastric inflammation, atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia and advanced cancer lesions in the white light group were 28.9%, 40.4%, 64.9%, 17.8%, 0.5% and 0.5% respectively; while those in the new optical staining group were 30.8%, 42.7%, 62.6%, 15.2%, 2.8% and 0.5%. There were no significant differences in the detection rates between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with pathology, the sensitivity, the specificity, the accuracy, the positive predictive value and the negative predictive value for gastric mucosal atrophy in the white light group were 92.9%, 61.3%, 74.0%, 61.9% and 92.7% respectively and those in the new optical staining group (SFI mode) were 94.4%, 64.5%, 77.3%, 66.4% and 94.0% respectively. The above 5 measures for gastric mucosal intestinal metaplasia were 68.1%, 72.6%, 69.7%, 82.1% and 55.2% in the white light group, and 87.1%, 89.9%, 88.2%, 93.5% and 80.7% in the new optical staining group (VIST mode), with significant difference between the two groups ( P<0.05). In terms of HP infection with 13C-urea breath test ( 13C-UBT) results as the gold standard, the above 5 measures were 90.2%, 84.3%, 87.4%, 86.8% and 88.2% in the white light group and 92.6%, 77.1%, 85.4%, 82.2% and 90.1% in the new optical staining group respectively. The proportion of high-risk gastric lesions in the new optical staining group was higher in cases of a gastric cancer risk score≥ 4 ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The new optical staining technology of domestic endoscopy has higher diagnostic value for gastric mucosal intestinal metaplasia. Gastroscopy is helpful for the detection of precancerous lesions with gastric cancer risk score as a tool. The new optical staining technology of domestic endoscopy is similar to imported endoscopy in diagnosing gastric precancerous lesions and HP infection, which is an effective means to detect gastric mucosal precancerous lesions.
