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 investigate the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation combined with motor relearning program on the recovery of upper limb motor function after stroke.Methods From September 2015 to June 2016,40 patients with first-ever stroke received rehabilitation therapy at the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine,Xuanwu Hospital,Capital Medical University were enrolled prospectively.Their course of disease was 1 to 6 months.They were divided into either a combined treatment group or a control group according to the odd and even numbers in hospital (n =20 in each group).The patients of both groups received traditional rehabilitation training and motor relearning program for upper lindb recovery,2 times a day,once for 30 min,5 days a week for 6 weeks.The combined treatment group was also given transcranial direct current stimulation,2 times a day,once for 20 min,5 days a week,while the control group was only treated with sham stimulation treatment.The patients were assessed before treatment and at 6 weeks after treatment.Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) scores and Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) were used to assess upper limb motor function.The modified Barthel index (MBI) was used to evaluate the activities of daily living.Results There was no significant difference in the observation indices before treatment between the 2 groups (P > 0.05).Six weeks after treatment,the differences of the upper limb FMA score and ARAT score before treatment were superior to the control group,they were 13 ± 3,10 ± 3 and 10 ± 2,8 ± 2,respectively (t =3.503 and 3.244 respectively,all P < 0.01).There was no significant difference in the MBI score between the 2 groups (P > 0.05).Conclusion Transcranial direct current stimulation combined with motor relearning program may effectively improve the upper limb motor function in patients with stroke and promote the improvement of the activities of daily living.

Objective:To study the effects of anti-oncogene PTEN transfection on apoptosis of human bladder cancer cell lines,BIU-87,and to bring a new method of gene therapy for bladder cancer. Methods:A eukaryotic expression vector containing PTEN was transfected into BIU-87,and positive cell clones were selected and amplified.Expression of PTEN was detected by RT-PCR.Apoptosis of BIU-87 were measured before and after transfection by in situ cell apoptosis detection kit and flow cytometry. Results:PTEN transfected BIU-87 could steadily express PTEN mRNA,and cell apoptosis significantly increased compared with control groups. Conclusion:Transfection of PTEN might induce apoptosis of bladder cancer cells so as to inhibit the occurrence and development of tumor.

Cho and So studied, with horseradish peroxidase retrograde tracing technique, the initial delay time and the rate of regrowth of damaged retinal ganglion cell axons regenerating into the autologous sciatic nerve implanted into the retinae in adult hamsters. This is the only report, to our knowledge, on the rate of regeneration of damaged central neuron axons. The present experiment tackles this issue using autologous sciatic nerve transplantation into the dorsal horn of the damaged spinal cord in adult rats, a model introduced by David and Aguayo, and visualized the regenerating axons with anti-neurofilament monoclonal antibody immunohistochemical method. Our results are as follows: the minimum initial delay time of the regenerating spinal axons in peripheral nerve grafts is 4 days. After which axons continue to regrow into the grafts within a definite period, suggesting different initial delay time for different regenerating axons. The regenerating spinal axons differ in their rate of regrowth, the fastest rate being 2.14 mm/d.

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.
