Objective To explore the relation between puncturing at superficial venules and effectiveness of acupoint application in summer to treat winter disease. Methods 4872 chronic bronchitis patients who received therapy of acupoint application in summer for treating winter diseases were divided into a superficial-venule group (including 994 patients) and a non-superficial-venuls group (including 3878 patients), according to the conditions that if or not they had superficial venuls. Both groups received the treatment of acupoint application combined with plum-blossom needles quick puncture. On this basis, the superficial-venule group was additional treated by puncturing at superficial venules. Results The cure rate and total effective rate were 73.2% and 98.1% in the superficial-venule group, and 35.9% and 90.8% in the non-superficial-venuls group. There was a significant difference between the two groups in their therapeutic effect (P<0.01).Conclusion The treatment of acupoint application combined with puncturing at superficial venules are effective in treating chronic bronchitis.

Objective To evaluate the effect of a nurse-led case management intervention on arm function and uncertainty for women with breast cancer.Methods 90 women with breast cancer were divided into the intervention group and the control group according to their nurses,with 45 patients in each group.All participants were followed six months after surgery.The intervention group attended a 6-month nurse-led case management program,while the control group received the routine care and follow-up only.Questionnaires on arm function and uncertainty were administered 1 month,3 months and 6months after the surgery respectively.Score changes were compared by repeated-measure ANOVA and MANOVA.Results The arm function of the intervention group was better than the control group,except for the 10th day after the operation,there were significant differences at other three time points.The disease uncertainty level of the intervention group was better than that of the control group,except for the dimension of unpredictability,there were evident differences in other dimensions at other three time points.Conclusions The nurse-led case management intervention could improve arm function recovery and decrease the uncertainty to disease of breast cancer survivors.

Objective To investigate the influence of epigallocatechin gallate ( EGCG)on reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mouse podocytes exposed to high glucose. Methods Mouse podocytes cultured in high glucose were exposed to different concentrations of EGCG (0.2, 10, 100 μmol/L) or α-tocopherol (0.2 μmol/L) for 6, 12, 24 hours. The viability of podocytes was detected by MTT. The intracellular formation of ROS was detected by confocal microscopy with fluorescent probe CM-H2DCFDA and was measured by fluorescence microscopy. RT-PCR was used to examine the expression of p22phox, p47phox and p67phox mRNA in cultured podocytes exposed to different concentrations of EGCG. Results Intracellular ROS generation was significantly higher in high glucose than that in control conditions (P<0.01). EGCG could significantly inhibit ROS induced by high glucose significantly (P<0.01). EGCG (100 μmol/L) led to an inhibition of the increased production of NADPH oxidase components of p22phox and p67phox mRNA in high glucose (P<0.05). The expression of p47phox mRNA in high glucose was inhibited by EGCG(0.2 μmol/L) and ot-tocopherol(0.2 μmol/L) (P<0.05). Conclusion EGCG can protect cultured mouse podocytes from injury of high glucose by inhibiting ROS formation.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of itopride hydrochloride combined with alpha-lipoic acid in treatment of diabetic gastroparesis.Methods One hundred and ten patients with diabetic gastroparesis were randomly assigned to two groups.Sixty patients received α-lipoic acid plus itopride (α-lipoic acid 0.6 g intravenously for 14 d plus itopride 50 mg orally t.i.d), and 50 cases received oral itopride only.The clinical symptoms including postprandial abdominal fullness, belching, acid reflux, anorexia, nausea and vomiting were observed;the gastric emptying rate was tested, and plasma motilin and serum ganstrin levels were measured groups, before and after two weeks of treatment.Results The clinical symptom scores of combination therapy group (4.62 ± 3.46 vs.12.26-± 3.43) and control groups (5.43-± 3.65 vs.12.31-± 3.37) were improved after treatment.The overall effective rate of combination group was 91.6% and that of itopride therapy group was 78.0% (x2 =4.098, P < 0.05).Gastric emptying rate of combination group [(76.9 ± 9.7) % vs.(37.3 ± 10.2) %] was increased more markedly than that ofitopridegroup[(57.2-± 10.4)% vs.(36.8-± 11.2)%] (t =10.221, P <0.05).Plasma motilin and serum ganstrin levels in combination group [(640.2 ± 64.4) ng/L vs.(554.0 ± 67.6) ng/L, (152.6 ± 20.3)ng/L vs.(96.8 ± 22.2)ng/L] were reduced more markedly than those in itopride group [(636.3 ±66.4)ng/L vs.(589.4 48.3)ng/L, (153.5-± 19.4) ng/L vs.(120.9 ± 19.7)ng/L] respectively (t =3.100, 5.959, all P < 0.05).Conclusion For patients with diabetic gastroparesis, α-lipoic acid and itopride combination therapy can significantly improve symptoms and gastric emptying rate, decrease motlin and gastrin levels;and the efficacy of combination therapy is better than that of itopride monotherapy.

AIM: To investigate effects of Retinervus luffae fructus (RLF) on level of serum lipid and body weight in hyperlipidemia rats. METHODS: Thirty-two male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: control group (A), hyperlipidemia group (B), hyperlipidemia + RLF group (C), RLF group (D). Both group A and C were fed normal diet every day, while group B and group D fed high fat diet. Meanwhile, group C and D were administered with RLF solution at the dose of 10 mL/kg, respectively for 14 days, while group A and B were administered with drinking water. RESULTS: (1) At the end of experiment, a significant reduction was found in the levels of serum total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) of group C animals treated with RLF solution; (2) The levels of serum TC of group D was progressively decreased compared to the level of serum TC at the beginning of experiment; (3) The level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) of group C remained unaltered 8d after treatment with RLF solution; (4) The body weight in group C was obviously lower than that in group B. CONCLUSION: RLF had an obvious hypolipidemic effect on hyperlipidemia rats. It can inhibit the decrease in the HDL-C and the increase of body weight in rats. [

Objective To observe the formation of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA)and the expression of dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 2 (DDAH-2) of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) stimulated by uric acid (UA), and to explore the role of ADMADDAH axis in the vascular endothelial dysfunction induced by uric acid. Methods HUVECs were cultured in M199 medium supplemented with 10% FBS. Cells were exposed to different concentrations of UA (0, 60, 120 mg/L) for 6 h and 24 h. Under different concentrations and times, the level of ADMA in cell suspension was detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique; the gene and protein expressions of DDAH-2 were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting; the fluorescence intensity of intracellular 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein (DCF) which represented the productions of ROS was detected by the flow cytometry (FCM). The activity of DDAH-2 in HUVCEs which were exposed to different concentrations of UA (0, 60, 120mg/L) or UA (120 mg/L) +NAC (10 mmol/L) for 24 h was estimated by directly measuring the amount of ADMA metabolized by the enzyme and the role of NAC in the activity was studied.Results The expression of ADMA induced by urid acid was dose-depent and higher at 24 h than that at 6 h in the same dosage (all P<0.05). The dosage and stimulation time of UA did not have any influence on the expression of intracellular DDAH-2 (all P>0.05). When HUVECs exposed to UA (120 mg/L) for 24 h, the production of intracellular ROS was significantly increased while the activity of DDAH-2 was decreasesd (all P<0.05) as compared to 60 mg/L stimulation. This effect could be inhibited by the intervention of anti-oxidant NAC. Conclusions The high UA stimulation on HUVECs can increase the expression of intracellular ROS and inhibit the activity of DDAH-2 which increases the concentration of ADMA by decreasing the degradation of ADMA as well as the formation of NO. DDAH-ADMA axis may participate in the vascular endothelial dysfunction induced by UA.
