Objective To observe the effect of Huazhuo-Jiedu-Huoxue Tongluo recipe on local inflammation of cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury in mice. Method Fifty Kunming Mice were randomly divided into five groups: model group, high-dose group of TCM, low-dose group of TCM, nimodiping group and sham operation group. Each group had 10 mice. Mice models of the right middle cerebral artery CIRI in the first four groups were established through thread embolism method. Physiological saline was given to the mice in the model group and sham operation group. Nimodipine solution was given to the mice in the Nimodipine group. High and low dose of Huazhuo-Jiedu-Huoxue-Tongluo Chinese medicine decoction were given to the mice in the high dose of TCM group and low dose of TCM group respectively after the models were successfully established. To assess the expression level of IL-6 and TNF-α by radioimmunoassay after the treatment. Results Compared with model group [(219.29±39.28) pg/ml, (1.325 ± 0.236) ng/ml] , the level of IL-6 and TNF-α of high dose of TCM group[(120.69±49.23)pg/ml, (1.086±0.178)ng/ml], low dose of TCM group[(173.97±49.03)pg/ml, (0.937 ± 0.105)ng/ml]and nimodipine group[(170.88± 47.06)pg/ml, (1.092±0.184) ng/ml]decrease (P<0.05). There is no significant difference between the high dose of TCM group and the sham operation group (P>0.05). Conclusion Huazhuo-Jiedu-Huoxue-Tongluo recipe can restrain the expression of inflammatory cytokines and reduce the infiltrating of leukocytes in mice with cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury.

A 1-year-old boy developed multiple skin-colored nodules on the forehead and extremities when he was 4 months old.Physical examination revealed that his general condition was well with no hepatomegaly,splenomegaly,lymphadenectasis,testicle abnormality or gingival hypertrophy.Pathologically,the epidermis was normal,while the dermis and subcutaneous tissue were diffusely infiltrated with medium-to large-sized deformed cells,which had a small amount of cytoplasm,oval nucleus,irregular shape and fine chromatin.Some infiltrating cells had nuclear groove and nucleoli.Immunohistochemical studies showed that the tumor cells were positive for S-100 protein,CD56,CD123,CD163,CD68,Ki-67 (40％),weakly positive for CD4 (some),but negative for myeloperoxidase,CD1,CD21.Bone marrow smears showed a 24.5％ infltration by monoblasts and promonocytes.A diagnosis of monoblastic sarcoma cutis preceding acute monoblastic leukemia was made.

Objective To make a comparative assessment on both the therapeutic effects and side effects between percutaenous lauromacrogol injection therapy(PLIT) and percutaenous ethanol injection therapy(PEIT) for simple hepatic or renal cyst.Methods In group A,55 patients with simple hepatic or renal cysts underwent ultrasound-guided aspiration and successive PLIT.The intra-operative side effects were investigated and the therapeutic effects assessment by using ultrasonography was conducted 3 months after the treatment.In group B,60 patients with simple hepatic or renal cysts had received ultrasound-guided aspiration and PEIT sometime before.The intra-operative side effects and therapeutic effects on the thirdmonth ultrasonography were independently reviewed according to their case records.Results In group A,3 patients(5.5 ％) expressed slight discomfort but not pain while receiving lauromacrogol injection.Follow-up ultrasound examination at the end of third month demonstrated the cysts in 43 patients completely regressed,while cysts in rest 12 patients shrank over 50 ％ in size,showing the overall response rate(ORR) and completely cure rate(CCR) were 100％ (55/55) and 78.2％ (43/55) for PLIT respectively.In group B,12 patients(20％) suffered from slight to moderate irritating pain or drunk performance.The third-month ultrasound examination disclosed that cysts in 47 patients completely vanished,and cysts in the other 13patients shrank more than a half,indicating the ORR and CCR were 100％ (60/60) and 78.3 ％ (47/60) for PEIT respectively.Conclusions Although their therapeutic efficacy are perfectly similar,PLIT is much more superior to PEIT in term of less and minor side effects.

Objective To study the effect of mild hypothermia combined with edaravone on the expressions of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-6(IL-6)in cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)of patients with severe traumatic brain injury(sTBI)and on their prognoses. Methods A prospective randomizd controled trial was conducted. Seventy-seven patients in the Center for Neurology and Neurosurgery of Affiliated Hospital of Logistics University of Chinese People's Armed Police Forces were randomly assigned into control group(38 cases)and treatment group(39 cases)according to random number table. All the patients were treated with routine treatments such as dehydration of intracranial pressure(ICP),neural nutrition,anti-infection,mechanical ventilation and maintenance of water and electrolyte balance in control group,while in treatment group,the patients received mild hypothermia combined with edaravone on the basis of routine treatment within 24 hours after injury. The contents of TNF-αand IL-6 in CSF were measured by radio-immunoassay(RIA)at different time points in both groups. In the meantime,the ICP was also measured. The prognosis was evaluated after 6 months of injury according to Glasgow outcome scale(GOS). Results Compared to control group,in the treatment group,the expression levels of TNF-αand IL-6 in CSF had no significant difference(both P>0.05)on the 1st day after injury,but they were significantly increased on the 3rd day after injury,began to decline on the 7th day,and reached to the valley value on the 14th day after injury,the degree of descent in treatment group being more significant than that in control group〔TNF-α(μg/L):2.43±0.39 vs. 3.12±0.47,IL-6(ng/L):83.53±11.48 vs. 101.69±13.64,both P<0.01〕. Before the treatment,the level of ICP in treatment group had no significant difference from that of control group(P>0.05),but it was gradually increased on the 1st day after injury in both groups,it reached the peak value on the 3rd day after injury,and began to decline on the 7th day after injury,the degree of descent being more significant in treatment group〔mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa):14.88±3.73 vs. 21.76±4.78,P<0.01〕. The favorable prognosis rate was significantly higher〔35.9%(14/39)vs. 21.1%(8/38),P<0.05〕,and the mortality was obviously lower in treatment group than those of control group〔28.2%(11)vs. 42.1%(16),P<0.05〕. Conclusion In patients with sTBI,mild hypothermia combined with edaravone can protect brain tissue through alleviating high ICP and decreasing the expression levels of TNF-αand IL-6 in CSF, resulting in promoting the recovery of nerve functions and improving prognosis.
