In Japan, acupuncture and massage does not belong to medical treatment, but a behavior similar to it.Acupuncture and massage along with Chinese medical science suffered tremendous impact since Japan's Meij Restoration.This paper made a summary on the history, development, academy, and current educational situation of Japanese acupuncture and massage industry.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a HPLC method for the determination of cilostazol in human plasma.METHODS:C18 was the chromatographic column,MeOH-0.03mol/L ammonium acetate (62∶38,V/V)was the mobile phase with a flow rate at 0.8 ml/min and detection wavelength at 257 nm,acetic ether was used as the extraction solvent.RESULTS:Good linear relationship was achieved when the detection concentration range of cilostazol was 10.0～1 500.0 ng/ml(r=0.9 999),the average recovery rates for the high,medium and low concentrations of cilostazol were 99.82%,97.30%and 97.14%,respectively,both the intra-day and inter-day RSD were lower than 6%.CONCLUSION:This method is sensitive,accurate,simple and fast,which can be used as the clinical monitoring of blood concentration of cilostazol and its pharmacokinetics study.

Objective To observe the influence of Dunhuang Nourishing Cream on the contents of SOD, GSH-PX and MDA in skin of aged rats. Methods Female SD rats of SPF level were divided into 6 groups:high, moderate and low dose groups of Dunhuang Nourishing Cream, model contrasting group, positive contrasting group and blank contrasting group. After removed the hair on the back, the drug groups were applied with Dunhuang Nourishing Cream, the model group was applied with the matrix of Dunhuang Nourishing Cream and the positive group was applied with vitamin E. After 30 days, the contents of SOD, GSH-PX and MDA in the skin were tested with the method of biochemistry analysis. Results Compared with the model group, the contents of SOD, GSH-PX and MDA in the high, moderate and low dose groups had significant difference (P

To prepare sustained phenylpropanolamine*HCl (PPA*HCl)-resin complexes and to study the factors influencing the in vitro dissolution of it. METHOD: The sustainedPPA*HCl-resin complexes were prepared by coating the complexes with different kinds of ethylcellulose (EC) as coating embranes. The factors influencing the release rate of PPA*HCl from the complexes, such as resin particle size, the viscosity and thickness of coating membrane, the dispersion medium of EC (water or alcohol) as well as thepH and ion strength of dissolution medium were studied in detail. RESULTS: Thefactors above all influenced the dissolution of the complexes to ifferent extent. When prepared by EC 200 Pa*s (150 g*kg-1), the dissolution of the coated complexes in 0.1 mol*L-1 HCl accorded with the requirements of sustained PPA*HCl capsulesof USP ⅩⅩⅢ. ONCLUSION: The sustained PPA*HCl can be prepared by coating the drug-resin complexes with EC.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the mouse nerve growth factor on early intervention in rats with acute carbon monoxide intoxication delayed encephalopathy control effects, and preliminarily discuss the pathogenesis of delayed encephalopathy. METHODS: Ninety-two weight only 180-230 g, male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two experimental groups (n=40), and a healthy control group (n=12), namely the CO poisoning group (COP) of the group; mouse nerve growth factor (NGF plays group); healthy controls (NC group). Experimental group was according to 150 mL·kg-1 intraperitoneal injections of CO in the preparation of animal model of acute carbon monoxide poisoning, in the control group rats were injected with equal volume of air. NGF group rats were injected within 30 min after poisoning muscle injection of mouse nerve growth factor, once a day, every time 18 μg·kg-1, total 7 days; Control group and the COP were given intramuscular isodose physiological saline. NGF group rats were treated with 18 μg·kg-1·d-1 NGF (total 7 times); NC group and COP group treated with the same dose saline. 90 min, 7 day, 14 day and 21 day groups of rats serum myelin basic protein (MBP) levels were monitored. The routine preparation of brain tissue frozen pathology slice, line HE and MBP immunohistochemical staining. Animal intelligence is assessed by Morris water maze experiment, in the 120 s in rats to determine correctly through the platform number less than 3 times DEACMP. RESULTS: All rats showed typical toxic after CO poisoning. Experimental group rats died 29, including COP death cases in the group, the model NGF group of 15, 14, mortality rates were 37.50%, 35.00% respectively. Morris water maze experiment results showed that the COP in the group 8 rats were judged to be delayed encephalopathy; model NGF group has 5 only be judged to be delayed encephalopathy; COP group rats serum MBP content increased significantly, model NGF group close to normal.Differences were obvious in poisoning after 7 days, 14 days.Pathological examination showed the COP group delayed encephalopathy rats in poisoning 90 min-21 d in hippocampus, subcortical neurons damage, such as myelin basic protein depigmentation pathological changes.The above pathological changes can be observed in each group, the COP group rats lesion severity is heavy, model NGF group was lighter. CONCLUSION: Mouse nerve growth factor can significantly reduce the incidence of delayed encephalopathy in rats, but can't reduce the mortality. Myelin basic protein (MBP) in the pathogenesis of delayed encephalopathy may play an important role.

ObjectiveTo evaluate two "up and down stair" methods used by hemiplegic patients.Methods40 cases with hemiplegia were randomly divided into two groups with 20 cases in each group. Patients in the group A went upstairs with health leg and downstairs with affected leg, while, patients in the group B upstairs with affected leg, downstairs with health leg, and then up and down stairs with health and affected leg alternated. Effects of two training menthods were compared.ResultsEach of two training methods had its advantage and disadvantage, but motor function and mobile ability of patients in the group B were better than patients in the group A (P<0.05).ConclusionHemiplegic patients Should choose different training method of up and down stairs according to his status, and not always choose the method of going upstairs with health leg and downstairs with affected leg.

Objective To study the clinical therapeutic effect of acupuncture in the treatment of depressive neurosis.Methods The 60 selected patients of depressive neurosis were randomized into treatment group(acupuncture regulating the liver group)and con- trol group(near-by sham-point acupuncture group),with 30 in each.The scores of Symptom Checklist 90(SCL-90),Self-rating De- pression Scale(SDS),and Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD),and the total effective rate after treatment were observed.Results The total effective rate of the treatment group and the control group was 92.6% and 56.0% respectively,and the difference was sig- nificant(P

Objective To evaluate the effect of percutaneous device closure guided by transesophageal echo-cardiography (TEE)on atrial septal defect(ASD)via right internal jugular vein(RIJV)in children.Methods A total of 8 cases with secundum ASD were recruited as candidates to receive percutaneous device closure via RIJV between July 22 and November 5,201 5 in Heart Center,Dalian Children′s Hospital.In this group,5 boys and 3 girls who were 5 months to 1 0 years old were included.The youngest patient was a 30 weeks premature infant of 5 months old,with 3 -month correction gestational age.All patients were clearly diagnosed as ASD by transthoracic echocardiography(TTE) before operation.Five patients had single central type ASD which were 5 -8 mm in diameter,and 3 patients had multi-ple(1 biforate and 2 cribriform)ASD which were 1 0 -1 2 mm in shunt range.New type Fustar curve adjustable sheath was delivered after RIJV accessed.By passing through the ASD by adjusting the depth and bending of the tips of sheath,then the device was delivered and released to close the ASD.The procedures were always guided and monitored by TEE.After the devices were released,the position of device,residual shunt,and the effect of valves were assessed by TEE or TTE.Results All patients were tested with TEE and TTE after procedure,devices were stable and well shaped,and the defects were closured well without any residual shunt.All the patients were followed up more than 6 months.No hydropericardium,thrombogenesis,tachyarrhythmia,complete atrioventricular block or other complications were found.Conclusions To close ASD with new type curve adjustable sheaths via RIJV may have wide indications, short operation path,well curative effect,minimal invasion and fast recovery in pediatrics,especially fit for the small age children with a big ASD who are difficult to treat via femoral vein.
