Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2008;6(1):32-35
Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effect of Back-Shu acupoint in treating asthma. Methods: Sixty-one patients were randomly divided into a Back-Shu acupoint group, a acupuncture-moxibustion group and a acupuncture group. All the three groups were treated twice a week, 10 times made up a treatment course. The therapeutic effect was evaluated after three courses of treatment. Results and conclusion: The control and marked effective rate were significantly higher in the Back-Shu acupoint group and acupuncture-moxibustion groups than in the acupuncture group (P<0.05). They were slightly higher in the acupuncture-moxibustion group than in the Back-Shu acupoint group, but there was no statistically significant difference. The results indicated that the Back-Shu acupoints have a good therapeutic effect in treating asthma.

Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2010;17(18):2462-2463
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of atorvastatin in patients with lacunar infarctions (LI) and influence on cerebrovascular reactivity(CVR). Methods 60 patients with LI were randomly divided into observation group and control group. The patients of control group were given aspirin treatment, patients of observation group were given atorvastatin combination with aspirin therapy. The breath-holding index(BHI) before and after treatment was calculated. After continuous treatment for 3 months the clinical efficacy was evaluated. Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 90. 0% ,it was significantly higher than that of the control group(73.3% ),compared with the control group the difference was significant( x2 = 10. 428 ,P < 0. 05). The bilateral BHI of observation group significantly increased, compared with per-treatment and control group the difference was significant ( t =9. 455,6. 135 ,all P < 0. 05 ) ,but the bilateral BHI of control group had no significant difference compared with pertreatment ( P > 0. 05 ). Conclusion Atorvastatin could effectively improve CVR in patients with LI. Therefore, atorvastatin had great significance for the prevention of stroke.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of monitoring the neuremuscular blockade intraoporatively by transcutaneous electrical stimulation at the P6 acupuncture point. Methods Thirty-five patients, ASA Ⅰ - Ⅲ, BMI≤35 kg/m2 scheduled for abdominal surgery were selected. Anesthesia was induced by sufentunil 0.2-0.3 μg/ kg iv, propofol 2,5-3.5 mg/kg iv. Neuromuscular monitoring was performed by TOF Watch SXR at the P6 acupuncture point on the left forearm and ulnar nerve on the right. The current intensity and gain were recorded frem all the patients;onset time, recovery time of TOF ratio 25% and TOF ratio 90% of atrucurium were also obtained by TOF stimulation on the P6 acupuncture point and the ulnar nerve in patients who were administered a single bolus of atracurium 0.5 mg/kg iv during operation. Controlled ventilation commenced after endotracheal intubation. Results There were no significant differences between the P6 acupuncture point and the ulnar nerve in stimulus intensity or gain ( P > 0.05 ). There were no significant differences between the P6 acupuncture point and the ulnar nerve in onset time, recovery time of TOF ratio 25% and TOF ratio 90% (P > 0.05).Conclusion Transcutaneous electrical stimulation at the P6 acupuncture point can be used to monitor neuromuscular blockade intraoperafively.

Objective cAMP promotes neurite outgrowth in vitro. The study is aimed to understand whether cAMP can repair spinal cord injury of rats. Methods 56 rats models of spinal cord hemisection were adopted and randomly distributed into six groups. Dibutyryl-cAMP or physiological saline was injected either once in the motor cortex with an amount of 6 ml of 50 mmol/L cAMP, or continuously infused through a polyethylene tube connecting with a micro-pump in the spinal lesion area or in the subarachnoid space with a total amount of 72 ml of 10 mmol/L cAMP for 72 h. The distribution of neurofilament (NF) in the lesion area was observed by immunohistochemistry. Corticospinal tracts (CST) and spinal axons regeneration were investigated by CST and spinal axons anterograde tracing with biotinylated dextran amine (BDA). The function of hindlimb movements were evaluated by BBB scales and as a reference to assess the repairing effect of treating strategy. Results NF were densely distributed and extended in the lesion area in the cAMP groups, but no connection could be found with the NF in the caudal. No axonal regeneration could be achieved when cAMP was input into the subarachnoid space. Many regenerated axons, including some CST axonal regeneration were presented in the lesion areas in cAMP groups though no continuous long regenerated axons traversed the lesion area, while there was no regenerated axon in the lesion areas in the control groups. All the rats restored to normally walk 4 to 5 weeks after operations, BBB scale exceed 20, and no significant difference between cAMP groups and control groups by comparing the BBB scales of hindlimb movements. Conclusion cAMP injected in the brain cortex or continuously infused in the spinal lesion area can induce the axonal regeneration and is beneficial to repair the spinal cord injury, but could not directly promote hindlimb movements recovering.

Objective To understand the effect of transforming growth factor-?_(2)(TGF-?_(2)) on the expression and activity of matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP_(2)) in cultured bovine trabecular cells and to investigate the role of TGF-?_(2) in the pathogenesis of primary open angle glaucoma(POAG). Methods TM cells were incubated in DMEM containing 1.0?g/L TGF-?_(2) or 1.0?g/L TGF-?_(2) with 100mg/L murine monocolonal anti-human PAI-1 IgG or DMEM without any experimental reagent for 24, 36, 48h, respectively. The expression of MMP_(2) or plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(PAI-1) were assayed by Western blot. Results TGF-?_(2 )could enhance the expression of pre-form MMP_(2) and PAI-1. PAI-1 neutralizing antibody could promote transformation of the pre-form MMP_(2) to it's active form. Conclusion TGF-?_(2) can cause the accumulation of ECM in trabecular meshwork by inhibiting the activation process of pre-form MMP_(2), and thus cause the increase of aqueous humor outflow resistance, which contributes to the pathogenesis of POAG.
