1.Advances in genomics for ischaemic stroke
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2012;(10):751-756
Ischemic stroke is one of the major diseases of causing adult disability and death.Age,sex,smoking,hypertension,and diabetes,etc.are the risk factors for ischemic stroke,but they can only partially explain the reasons of stroke onset.Twins,families,and single-gene genetic stroke studies have shown that ischemic stroke has obvious genetic predisposition.In recent years,genomics has made remarkable progress in ischemic stroke study and has shown that many new single nucleotide polymorphisms or genes are associated with ischemic stroke and its risk factors.However,the contribution of these genetic genes for ischemic stroke is still too small and the repetitive studies are needed for further confirmation.

Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2017;15(6):440-445
Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of warm needling moxibustion plus Mulligan dynamic joint mobilization for cervical radiculopathy. Methods: A total of 60 cases with cervical radiculopathy were randomly divided into group A, group B and group C by random digital table, 20 cases in each group. The patients in three groups were treated with similar warm needling moxibustion. Group A only received warm needling moxibustion; group B was treated with warm needling moxibustion plus Mulligan dynamic joint mobilization; group C was treated with warm needling moxibustion plus cervical traction. Before the treatment and after 12 sessions of treatment, the patients in the three groups were assessed for score of pain and range of motion (ROM). Results: By 12 sessions of the treatments, the scores of pain were obviously decreased in the three groups, with statistical significances (all P<0.05), and the pain scores of group B and group C were significantly different from the score of group A (both P<0.05). ROM of the neck was increased than before the treatment in the three groups, with statistical significances (all P<0.05), and the ROM of the neck of group B was significantly different from those of group A and group C (both P<0.05). Conclusion: Warm needling moxibustion plus Mulligan dynamic joint mobilization can effectively improve the neck ROM and relieve pain in patients with cervical radiculopathy.

BACKGROUND:Traditional cel transplantation tracer methods require histological analysis and identification in vitro, which limits the clinical application of stem cel transplantation. So it is urgent to establish an in vivo noninvasive and repeatable tracer method. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of SPIO and DAPI double labeling on survival and proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s from macaques. METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were derived from bone marrow aspirates of healthy macaques using whole bone marrow adherence method. Then, the cel s were identified using flow cytometry detection. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were labeled using SPIO and DAPI. Fluorescent microscope was used to detect DAPI positive rate, and Prussian blue staining and transmission electron microscope were employed to measure SPIO positive rate. MTT assay was used to detect cel viability and proliferation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were successful y isolated from healthy macaques using the whole bone marrow adherence method, and the cel purity was up to 95.1%. SPIO and DAPI were both successful to label the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s with a positive rate of 95%-98%, but had no influence on cel viability and proliferation.
