Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2016;35(5):520-521
Objective To observe the difference in therapeutic efficacy between acupuncture with distant acupoints selection and proximal acupoints selection in treating acute headache.Method Sixty patients with acute headache were randomized into group A and group B, 30 cases in each group. Group A was intervened by acupuncture with distant acupoints selection, while group B was by acupoints with topical acupoints selection. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Present Pain Intensity (PPI) from McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) were observed before and after intervention, and the clinical efficacies were compared between the two groups. Result After treatment, the VAS and PPI scores were significantly different from that before treatment in both groups (P<0.01). The changes of VAS and PPI scores in group A after intervention were significantly different from that in group B (P<0.01). The total effective rate was 90.0% in group A versus 73.3% in group B, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). Conclusion Acupuncture with distant acupoints selection can produce a better therapeutic efficacy than acupuncture with topical acupoints selection.

Chinese Journal of Radiology 2008;42(11):1201-1204
Objective Improve the efficiency of radiology doctors on reading bone age films by sharing Tanner-Whitehouse(TW2)bone algorithm on the network. Methods The bone age algorithm web was Programmed with a Java script implementation of Tanner-Whitehouse Method and putted on a Web server based on HTTP service. The program allows to select a stage (from a set of 8 stages) for every bone (from a set of 20 bones), and also allows doctors to input some specific data such as birthday, sex. Based on TW2 reported values, selected and input data, the program computes the bone age. We assessed the bone ages on 50 left hand and wrist X-ray films of Chinese children aged 2-18 (1000 bones totally) with computer-aided method and manual method. The grading agreement of bone development and the time spent for bone age assessment were compared (U test) between the two methods. Results Computer-aided method is easy to use, better than manual method in accuracy of bone development grading, and it also has a friendly interface. For the 1000 bones assessed by TW2, the rate of the same maturity classification was 83.8%(838/1000), the rate of one-level maturity difference (+ 1 and - 1) was 14. 9% (149/1000), the rate of two-level maturity difference (+2 and -2) was 1.3% (13/1000). For the 1000 bones assessed by manual method, the rate of the same maturity classification was 65.7% (657/1000), the rate of one-level maturity difference (+ 1 and -1) was 27. 2% (272/1000), the rate of two-level maturity difference (+ 2 and -2) was 7.1% (71/1000). TW2 bone algorithm was significantly better than manual method (U =9.31595 ,P <0.01). The average time of assessing bone age by the two methods was 3-5 min and 15-20 min, and the TW2 method saved time for radiologists doctor. Conclusion Sharing TW2 bone age algorithm through the network can be quick and easy.

Aim To investigate the protective effects of ginsenosides ( GS) on reactive oxygen species-induced oxidative damage in mouse spermatogonial cells. Meth-ods Mouse spermatogonial cell oxidative stress model was established and the attenuating effects of ginsen-osides on germ cell oxidative damage were evaluated by determination of cell viability,malondialdehyde( MDA) formation,superoxide dismutase ( SOD) activity and glutathione ( GSH) level. Results The exposure to hypoxanthine/xanthine oxidase ( HX/XO) induced an elevation in MDA,while a decrease in germ cell viability,SOD activity and GSH level. However,supplementation with GS ( 10 mg?L -1) restored HX/XO-induced decrease in cell viability,SOD activity and GSH level and HX/XO-induced increase in MDA formation. Conclusion GS may exert antioxidant activity to attenuate reactive oxygen species-induced oxidative damage in mouse spermatogonial cells.

Objective To investigate the effect of prebiotics supplement on intestinal epithelial tight junctions and barrier function of the rats with acute pancreatitis (AP). Methods The AP model in Wistar rat was established by intraperitoneal injection of L-arginine. The rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group, AP group, GOS group. GOS was given 4g·kg-1·d-1at 7d before ANP induced. Twelve hours after modeling, the AP rats in each group were sacrificed. 2 ml of blood sample was taken from heart for the analysis of plasma diamine oxidase (DAO) activity. Jejunum was taken for histological examination. The transmembrane binding proteins (occludin) were measured with immunohistochemistry. Results The plasma DAO level in AP group was (7.29±0.68) U/L, and significantly higher than (2.01±0.34) U/L of control group (P<0.01). The DAO level in GOS group was (3.44±0.59) U/L, and significantly lower than that of AP group. The occludin protein level in AP group was 95.1±9.2, and significantly lower than 44.7±8.2 of control group and 59.7±7.8 of GOS group (P<0.01). The occludin protein level in COS group was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05). Conclusions The prebiotics may increase the expression of occludin protein, enhance the intestinal epithelial tight junction, maintain the intestinal permeability, and protect the intestinal barrier function.

Objective To demonstrate the histology in acellular dermal matrix(ADM)after being transplanted in vivo over time. Methods Forty male SD rats were recruited for the experiment. Subcutaneous implantation of an 1 cm × 1 cm ADM was given in the left sides on the back of the rat for the experimental group, while only dissection and suturing were performed in right side of the back for the control group. All the animals will be sacrificed at appointed time after operation, Five ADM samples were harvested in each time point. The content and proportion of collagen type were examined with HE staining, Picrosirius staining, Masson′s trichrome staining, and Immunohistochemical staining (targets: pan macrophage, M1 macrophage and M2 macrophage). Results All rats survived after operative without any complications. Significant differences of thickness were not observed at the end of 5 months; HE scores suggested that ADM increased in cell infiltration scores in 2 weeks before the plateau , vascularity also showed a similar trend; Collagen trichrome staining showed a substantial increase in density of collagen bundles with time. The comparison of the proportion of collagen among days showed significant differences (P < 0.05). Immunohistochemical staining of M1 and M2 showed that macrophages had distinct polarization profiles in materials. Furthermore, the comparison of M1 vs M2 response associated with different materials showed significant differences in all time points (P < 0.05). Conclusions The chemically cross-linked ADM could keep long time in the body; ADM significantly stimulated proinflammatory of M2 differentiation from M1 in constructive remodeling.
