Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2014;30(9):815-817
Ageing of population is now a phenomenon of the world and has considerable consequences for public services.Ageing is always accompanied with dysfunction of multiple organs,including hypothalamic-pituitaryadrenal axis.Here,we summarized alterations of hormone secretion of adrenal glands in the elderly and their relationships with Alzheimer' s disease.Moreover,we discussed characteristics of pheochromocytoma,primary aldosteronism,and Cushing's syndrome in the elderly.Lack of typical manifestations usually makes difficulty in diagnosis.

Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2015;(6):368-372
Objective:To observe the effect of acupoint injection with Neostigmine Methylsulfate at Zusanli (ST 36) on gastrointestinal function of patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods:Totally 120 patients undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomized into an acupoint injection group, a muscular injection group, and a blank control group at 1:1:1 by random number table, 40 cases in each group. The blank control group was intervened by conventional post-operation treatment, the acupoint injection group was by acupoint injection with Neostigmine Methylsulfate 2 mL at bilateral Zusanli (ST 36) in addition to the treatment given to the blank control group, and the muscular injection group was by muscular injection with Neostigmine Methylsulfate 2 mL in addition to the treatment given to the blank control group. The two injection groups both received injection twice a day, totally for 3 d at most. The restored time of bowel sounds, initial flatulence time, defecation time and clinical efficacy were observed. Results:After treatment, there were significant differences in comparing the restored time of bowel sounds among the three groups (F=17.30,P<0.05), the acupoint injection group and muscular injection group were significantly different from the blank control group (P<0.05), and there was a significant difference between the acupoint injection group and muscular injection group (P<0.05); there were significant differences in comparing the initial flatulence time among the three groups (F=19.12,P<0.05), and the acupoint injection group was significantly different from the muscular injection group and the blank control group (P<0.05); there were significant differences in comparing the initial defecation time among the three groups (χ2=21.23,P<0.05), while the difference between the acupoint injection group and muscular injection group was statistically insignificant (P>0.05). The total effective rate was 87.5% in the acupoint injection group, versus 72.5% in the muscular injection group and 60.0% in the blank control group, and there were significant differences among the three groups (P<0.05). Conclusion:Acupoint injection with Neostigmine Methylsulfate at Zusanli (ST 36) can shorten the restored time of bowel sounds and flatulence time in patients undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and the efficacy is more significant compared to muscular injection with Neostigmine Methylsulfate.

Idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) is characterized by delayed or absent puberty and lowered sexual function as a result of impaired pulsatile gonadotropin-realeasing hormone (GnRH) secretion.Identification of TAC3/TACR3 mutations as the culprits of IHH revealed that neurokinin B (NKB) signaling pathway was involved in the regulation of pulsatile GnRH secretion.This review focuses on the involvement of NKB signaling in pulsatile GnRH release,the discovery of TAC3/TACR3 mutations and the phenotypes,and treatment of patients who carry TAC3 or/and TACR3 mutations.

Objective To quantitatively investigate the effect of low-dose ionizing radiation on the frequencies of chromosome aberrations and micronucleus-containing cells of radiation workers.Methods Nine electronic databases were systematically searched on the basis of the published studies evaluating the effects of low-dose ionizing radiation on the frequencies of chromosome aberrations and micronucleuscontaining cells.Of the 195 studies searched,21 studies were identified with a total of 1 970 626 cells under studying.Cochrane' s Q and I2 statistics were used to evaluate heterogeneity among studies and pooling odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using random-effect models or fixed-effect models,and publication bias were also calculated.Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 12.0.Results The pooling OR of chromosome-type aberrations [OR =3.03 (2.59,3.56)],dicentric plus centric rings [OR =4.12 (2.99,5.67)],translocations [OR =2.73 (1.67,4.46)],micronucleuscontaining cells [OR =1.70 (1.40-2.06)] were higher for radiation workers when compared with control group.Conclusions The frequencies of chromosome aberrations and micronucleus cell of peripheral lymphocytes are significantly high in radiation workers who were occupationally exposed to low-dose ionizing radiation.It should be noted that the radiation protection of radiological workers be enhanced.
