Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture (EA) plus long-snake moxibustion for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) due to kidney deficiency and cold coagulation. Methods: A total of 60 patients in active stage of RA were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, with 30 cases in each group. Patients in the control group took methotrexate tablets and nimesulide dispersible tablets orally for treatment, while those in the observation group received additional treatment of EA plus long-snake moxibustion. Both groups were treated for 12 weeks. The post-treatment changes in symptomatic grading and quantifying score, disease activity score with 28 joint counts (DAS28), and inflammatory indicators erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were observed, and the efficacy was evaluated. Results: The total effective rate in the observation group was 89.9%, versus 76.6% in the control group, and there was a significant difference in the total effective rate between the two groups (P<0.05). After treatment, the symptomatic grading and quantifying score and DAS28 in both groups were significantly improved (all P<0.05), and the improvements in the observation group were more significant than those in the control group (both P<0.05). Besides, there were 11 cases with low disease activity index (DAI) and in remission in the observation group versus 5 cases in the control group, showing a statistically significant between-group difference (P<0.05). The ESR and CRP scores in both groups were significantly reduced after treatment (all P<0.05), also showing statistically significant between-group differences (both P<0.05). Conclusion: The efficacy of additional EA plus long-snake moxibustion based on oral medications for RA due to kidney deficiency and cold coagulation is better than that of the oral medications alone.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of 3% hypertonic saline with 20% mannitol in the treatment of acute brain edema in children.Methods Twenty children with acute brain edema were randomly divided into hypertonic saline(HS) group and mannitol group.HS group and mannitol group were given 3% HS solution or 20% mannitol respectively.Main outcome measurements included intracranial pressure(ICP),mean arterial pressure(MAP),central venous pressure(CVP),cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP),serum electrolytes,plasma osmolality,renal function and urine volume.Results Both 3% HS and 20% mannitol were effective in reducing ICP(P <0.05).Therapeutic effect lasted(4.5±1.2) h in HS group and(3.2±1.5) h in mannitoi group.3% HS had a longer duration of action than marmitol(P<0.05).At the time point of 2 hours after treatment,MAP and CPP of HS group increased more than those of mannitol group(P<0.05).Conclusion Both 3% HS and 20% mannitol could rapidly decrease ICP.3% HS has a longer duration of action in reducing ICP than 20% mannitol.3% HS is more effective in stabilizing circulation and improving CPP than 20% mannitol.

In this review, the author analyzed the challenges in modern research and development of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) products. Chinese traditional and herb drugs have gained interest from the international medical, biomedical and pharmaceutical institutions as potential source of valuable medicinal agents. For the researches and development of TCMs, the first challenge is to evaluate the efficacy, pharmacological properties, action mechanism and active chemical constituents. The second one is to summarize the issues for developing safety research methodologies, to improve the quality and enhance the value of research in TCM and to provide appropriate evaluation methods to facilitate the regulation and registration of TCM products, and the third is to study drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, and the fourth is to apply new "-omics" techniques and tools in new revolution in drug discovery-development and to impact on modern research of TCM products. This interest is needed to apply modern research on the development and exploration of the promising medical potential resources of Chinese traditional and herbal drugs, especially from medicinal plants.

Objective To investigate the clinical application of acupuncture combined with general anesthe -sia in gynecologic laparoscopic surgery .Methods 60 ASA( the American society of anesthesiologists )Ⅰ-Ⅱpatients undergoing elective gynecologic laparoscopic surgery were randomly divided into the acupuncture group and control group.Patients in the acupuncture group were chosen Hegu (LI 4),Neiguan(PC 6) on both sides.After acupuncture, the two acupoints,electroacupuncture stimulated 20-30min,then administered general anesthesia ,electroacupuncture until surgery finished ,the control group received general anesthesia only .The drug dosages of the two groups was regu-lated,maintained anesthesia depth bispectral index ( BIS) between 40 and 60.The changes of the blood pressure ( BP) ,heart rate and BIS of the two groups at the same time points were observed;the propofol and remifentanil dos-age after the surgery ,the awaken time and extubation time ,OAA/S score and pain score after wake ,the happening of restlessness,chills,nausea and vomiting ,the usage of narcotic analgesics postoperation ,and the intraoperative aware-ness were recorded .The effect of acupuncture combined with general anesthesia was evaluated .Results Anesthetic dosage propofol of the acupuncture group [(7.44 ±1.30)μg· kg-1· h-1] was less than [(8.66 ±1.24)μg· kg-1· h-1] of the control group (t=3.720,P=0.001),remifentanil dosage was also less than the control group [acupunc-ture group (10.59 ±2.58)μg· kg-1· h-1,control group (11.93 ±2.27)μg· kg-1· h-1,t=2.168,P=0.034]. Compared with the basic value ,the BP values were higher at the time of intraoperation ,waking,extubation and 10 min after extubation (all P<0.05),the acupuncture group had more stable BP .Compared with the acupuncture group , heart rates in the control group were faster at extubation and 10min after extubation .Recovery time and extubation time of the acupuncture group were (9.05 ±2.36)min and (1.61 ±2.40)min,which were shorter than (12.50 ± 3.20)min and (15.90 ±3.37)min of the control group (P<0.05).Pain score(VAS) in the acupuncture group was lower than that of the control group .Consciousness score was higher in the acupuncture group ,the incidence rates of restlessness,chills were less.Conclusion The use of acupuncture combined with general anesthesia in gynecologic laparoscopic surgery can reduce the dosage of general anesthetics ,shorten the awaken time and extubation time ,increase the OAA/S score of the patients ,relieve pain ,and the recovery quality is higher .

Objective To evaluate the effect of lovastatin on shedding of heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) and syndecan-1 (SDC-1) in the lung tissues of rats with sepsis-induced acute lung injury.Methods One-hundred and twenty male Wistar rats aged 8-12 weeks,weighing 325-425 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =40 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) group and lovastatin group (group L).Lovastatin 4 mg/kg was injected once a day for 5 consecutive days in S and L groups,while the equal volume of 0.5% CMC (the solvent) was given in CLP group.Sepsis was produced by CLP on 5th day of administration in CLP and L groups.The left lung was lavaged at 24 h after operation.The broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected for determination of protein concentrations,white blood cell (WBC) count and percentage of neutrophils.Blood samples were collected for determination of the concentrations of HSPG and SDC-1 in serum (by ELISA).Evans blue was injected at 24 h after operation in the remaining 20 rats of each group.The lungs were removed for examination of the pathological changes and for measurement of HSPG and SDC-1 mRNA and protein expression (using Western blot and PCR),and Evans blue content (reflecting pulmonary capillary permeability) in the lung tissue.Results Compared with group S,the protein concentrations,WBC count and percentage of neutrophils in BALF,Evans blue content in lung tissues and the concentrations of HSPG and SDC-1 in serum were significantly increased,and HSPG and SDC-1 mRNA and protein expression was down-regulated in CLP and L groups.Compared with group CLP,the protein concentrations,WBC count and percentage of neutrophils in BALF,Evans blue content in lung tissues and the concentrations of HSPG and SDC-1 in serum were significantly decreased,and HSPG and SDC-1 mRNA and protein expression was up-regulated in group L.The pathological changes of lungs were significantly attenuated in group L as compared with group CLP.Conclusion The mechanism by which lovastatin attenuates acute lung injury induced by sepsis may be related to reduced shedding of HSPG and SDC-1 in lung tissues and improved function of pulmonary vascular endothelium in rats.
