Objective To investigate the curative effect of different biofeedback and electrical stimulation solutions on female stress urinary inconti-nence(SUI). Methods A total of 40 female patients with mild-to-moderate SUI were randomly divided into two groups(n=20 each group)and treated by the biofeedback and electrical stimulation. In the treatment group,the current increased in the middle of the treatment on the basis of the initial threshold of stimulus intensity to make a new tolerable threshold of stimulus intensity. In the control group,the patients were treated with the initial threshold of stimulus intensity during the whole treatment. The curative effects in these two groups were determined by the comprehensive strength of pelvic floor,the 1 h urine pad test results,and the life quality scores of urinary incontinence. Results After treatment,there were signifi-cant improvements in all the above indicators in two groups(P<0.05),and the results is better in the treatment group than in the control group. The effective rate in treatment group(95%,19/20)was higher than that in the control group(65%,13/20)(P<0.05). Conclusion The biofeedback and electrical stimulation were effective and safe in the treatment of women with SUI. The curative effect of patients treated with increasing current in the middle of the treatment is better,suggesting that it can be widely applied in clinic.

Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical or acute abdomen in childhood.Rapid and correct diagnosis is the premise of rational therapy,but there are still some problems in diagnosis and differential diagnosis.Sufficient comprehension about clinical features and differential diagnostic diseases,typical clinical symptoms,physical examination,laboratory examinations,ultrasonography or CT would make a definite diagnosis.Laparoscopy is also used to make a diagnosis if necessary.

Methods: Fatty liver model rats were induced by high fat diet, and the effects of Ganzhikang Capsule on microstructures in liver tissue were investigated with Dong Bao Gan Tai used as control medicine. Results: In the model group, serious fatty degeneration of hepatocytes with inflammatory infiltration, degeneration and necrosis, and deforming, swelling of mitochondrion, dilatation of endoplasmic reticulum were found. After treatment of Ganzhikang Capsule, microstructures of hepatocytes restored obviously, fatty degeneration relieved significantly, and Ganzhikang Capsule was superior to Dong Bao Gan Tai in restoration of fatty degeneration (P

The etiology and pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) remain unclear. Interferon-γ (IFN-γ), a Th1-type cytokine, may be involved in the pathogenesis and inflammatory process of SLE. This article reviews reports on the serum IFN-γ of SLE patients and mouse SLE models, in vitro secreted IFN-γ, expression of IFN-γ induced protein and IFN-γ related genes, and treatment with traditional Chinese medicines.

Extremely severe pancytopenia induced by low dosage of azathioprine in systemic lupus erythematosus patients is rare. A 40-year-old Chinese female was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus. She suffered worse erythema, oral ulceration, raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate and high anti-dsDNA in August 2013. Then she was initiated on oral azathioprine 50mg/d and extremely severe pancytopenia was seen in September 2013. She was recovered by a series of treatments. Regular monitoring of blood counts is highly recommended to reduce the possible serious myelosuppression induced by azathioprine.

Objective To optimize the extracting conditions of Anchuan Keli. Method Six crude drugs, including Ephedra herb and so on, with the ephedrina hydrochloridum content as the index, extracting times, water volume and extracting time were screened by orthogonal test. Two crude drugs, including Sophora flavescens and so on, with matrine and ammothamnine content as the indexes, alcohol concentration, extracting times, alcohol volume and extracting time were screened by orthogonal test. Result The optimal extracting condition of six crude drugs including Ephedra herb was heat reflux and extracting 2 times (the first time 854 mL, the second time 732 mL), 2 hours for each time using water. The optimal extracting condition of two crude drugs include Sophora flavescens was heat reflux and extracting 2 times (the first time 288 mL, the second time 240 mL), 2 hours for each time using 80% alcohol. Conclusion The extracting technology selected is reasonable, practical and controllable.

Objective To investigate the temporal activation of p38MAPK signaling transduction cascade,and the relationship between the activation and reactive oxygen species(ROS)in a well-defined experimental model of water-immersion restraint(WIR)stress-induced gastric mucosa ulceration.Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group,WIR group and tempol treated group.Animals were restrained and immersed in water bath to induce gastric mucosal lesions,with or without pretreatment with the free radical scavenger,tempol,and the WIR group animals were killed at different time points after WIR stress.Tempol treated animals underwent the same protocol followed 30min or 360min of stress,then the gastric mucosa was harvested,and the activity of gastric mucosal p38 was analyzed by Western blot.Malondialdehyde(MDA)activity and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression were detected.Results A rapid activation of p38MAPK in gastric mucosa occurred as early as 15 min after stress,and this activation was maximal after 90min of stress and still persisted until 360min after stress.Pretreatment with tempol prevented stress-induced p38MAPK activation at 30 min and 360min time points(0.77?0.24 and 0.58?0.12,respectively)compared with that in model groups(1.22?0.16 and 1.73?0.09,respectively,P

Objective: To investigate the effect of abstracted formula granule of Siwu drugs on the sex hormones and expressions of androgen receptor (AR)and estrogen receptor (ER) in bone marrow depressed mice. Methods: One hundred and eighty mice (90 male and 90 female) were randomly divided into 6 groups. The effects of the formula granule of Siwu on sex hormones and expressions of AR and ER were explored by SABC method in bone marrow of depressed mice. Results: For the male rats, the levels of androgen were increased in male of treatment groups compared with those of model groups (P＜0.05), and the levels of estrogen were decreased in male of treatment groups compared with those of model groups (P＜0.05).For the female rats, the levels of androgen were increased in female of treatment groups compared with those of model groups,but no significant differences (P＞0.05), and the levels of estrogen were decreased in femal of treatment groups compared with those of model groups (P＜0.05). There was a dose dependent manner between treatment groups. Conclusion: The results suggested that formula granule of Siwu drugs may play a role in the hematopoietic function to repair bone marrow depression by improving AR and the balance of estrogen / androgen in mice.
