Background Glucocorticoid is a common drug for treatment of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) with good effectiveness.But some adverse reactions of glucocorticoid are inevitable.At recent years,99technetium-methylene bisphosphonate(99Tc-MDP) is being paid more and more attentions in the treatment of TAO,but its effectiveness and safety is worthy of comparison to traditional treatment methods.Objective This study was to evaluate the efficacy of treatment with intravenous injection of 99Tc-MDP for TAO.Methods The Cochrane Library,CNKI,PubMed,Wanfang database,Weipu net were searched in computer and Google Scholar was searched manually.The randomized controlled trail (RCT) of intravenous injection of 99Tc-MDP for TAO were collected from establishment of database through April,2012.The quality of included literature was assessed based on the methodology of the study.The evaluating indexes included the primary treating outcomes,such as total efficacy,exophthalmic extent and recurrence rate as well as secondary outcomes such as adverse effect.RevMan 5.1 software was used for Mate analysis.Results A total of 11 RCTs were identified with 706 patients.Subgroup analysis was carried out based on the outcome measures and intervention.No significant difference was found in the overall effective rate between intravenous injection of 99Tc-MDP and immunosuppressive treatment (RR =0.96,95 % CI:0.76 to 1.22,P=0.740).However,the effective rate was significant different between intravenous injection of 99Tc-MDP and oral prednisone (RR =1.25,95 % CI:1.06-1.46,P =0.007) or between intravenous injection of 99 Tc-M DP and the blank control group (RR =2.53,95 % CI:1.68-3.81,P =0.000).Significant difference also was found in the total effective rate between intravenous injection of 99Tc-MDP with methyprednisone and methyprednisone alone (RR =1.27,95% CI:1.05-1.53,P =0.010).There were significant differences in the effective rate of proptosis between intravenous injection of 99Tc-MDP and oral prednisone (RR=2.02,95% CI:1.44-3.56,P=0.020).The recurrence rate of TAO was significant different between intravenous injection of 99Tc-MDP and oral prednisone (RR =0.51,95% CI:0.33-0.78,P=0.002).Less adverse responses were seen in the intravenous injection of 99Tc-MDP group than the oral prednisone group and immunosuppressive treatment group.Conclusions Intravenous injection of 99Tc-MDP for TAO appears to be of a similar effectiveness to immunosuppressive method.The combination of intravenous injection of 99Tc-MDP with methyprednisone seems to be more effective than methyprednisone alone,with little systemic adverse effect after application.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs) modified bovine serum albumin (AGE-BSA) on the expression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in human renal mesangial cells (HRMCs).
METHODSHRMCs were cultured in vitro with medium containing different doses of AGE-BSA or BSA (50,100, 200, 400 mg/L) for 48 hours, or with AGE-BSA (200 mg/L) for different times (12, 24, 48, 72 h). Immunocytochemistry assay was used to estimate the protein level of RAGE. The ROS in cells were measured by flow cytometry and the mRNA expression of MCP-1 were analyzed by semi-quantiative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) after treatment with AGE-BSA or BSA.
RESULTSThe protein level of RAGE was upregulated in the HRMCs with AGE-BSA. The expression of ROS and MCP-1 significantly enhanced by incubation of AGE-BSA in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The effects of AGE-BSA-induced up-regulation of ROS and MCP-1 level was significantly blocked by neutralizing antibodies to RAGE, while the expression of ROS and MCP-1 stood nearly unchanged after cultured with huamn IgG.
CONCLUSIONThe expression of ROS and MCP-1 in HRMCs is induced by AGE-BSA through RAGE, which may have potential effects in the pathgenic mechanism of diabetic nephropathy.

The CO I gene sequences of Qianghuoyu, Pachytriton labiatus and Gehyra mutilata were achieved by PCR amplification and bi-directional sequencing. Furthermore, a pair of specific primers SJYW1 and SJYW2 in the non-conservative district were designed through sequence alignment. The PCR reaction condition was established by changing the annealing temperature and cycle numbers. The results showed that 350 bp DNA fragment was amplified from Qianghuoyu in PCR with annealed temperature at 54 °C and the cycle number was 25 cycles, whereas not any DNA fragment was amplified from P. labiatus and G. mutilata under the same reaction condition. This method is well-performed in the identification of Qianghuoyu for its excellent specificity and repeatability.

OBJECTIVETo study the biologic process of energy metabolism in brain during acupuncture using positron emission tomography (PET) with 18F-2-desoxyglucose (18FDG) for further elucidation of the relationship between acupunctural signal and nerve system.
METHODSElectroacupuncture (EA) was applied on right lateral of a healthy volunteer and paralytic limbs of 4 patients with cerebral infarction at acupoints L14, LI11, ST36 and SP6 using Hans acupoint-nerve stimulator. PET imaging was conducted on the healthy subject or patients with the same posture before and during EA with GE Advance II PET system.
RESULTSPET showed that in the healthy subject, before EA, the glucose metabolism (GM) in bilateral cerebral cortex, bilateral thalamus, basal nuclei and cerebellum was almost symmetrical, but during EA, the GM in contralateral thalamus, contralateral frontal lobe and parietal lobe (motor and sensory area) increased obviously. While in the patients before EA, the GM in the infarcted area was significantly lower than that in the non-infarcted area, as compared with that observed with CT and MRI, it showed a similar figure but with bigger abnormal area. During EA, GM in the infarcted area increased with apparent reduction of size. Increased GM of focal area, widened cerebral cortex and decreased edematous area were shown in patients with larger infarction area. Quantitative analysis revealed evident change in local/total ratio of glucose and increase of GM change rate.
CONCLUSION(1) EA on limb acupoints of healthy subject could induce obvious increase of regional GM in brain and contralateral thalamus, contralateral frontal lobe and parietal lobe (motor and sensory area). (2) EA on acupoints of paralytic limbs could cause increase of GM in contralateral thalamus, contralateral frontal lobe and parietal lobe. Besides, GM also increased in the area with lowered GM before EA, accompanied with shrinkage or disappearance of lesion. (3) Acupuncture could evoke the function of brain cells and raise the GM in them.
