Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in regulating depressed state. Method Sixty patients in depressed state were divided into a treatment group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was given basic intervention plus acupuncture, whereas the control group was treated by basic intervention alone. The two groups were evaluated by using Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) and PSTR prior to treatment, and respectively after 1, 2, and 3-month treatment. The clinical efficacies of the two groups were compared. Result The HAMD and PSTR scores were significantly changed respectively after 1, 2, and 3-month treatment compared to that before treatment in both groups (P<0.05). Respectively after 1, 2, and 3-month treatment, the HAMD and PSTR scores of the treatment group were significantly different from that of the control group (P<0.05). Acupuncture worked rather slowly in the first month of treatment, while in the following 2 months, its efficacy increased significantly. The total effective rate was 93.3% in the treatment group versus 40.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There were no adverse reactions during the whole intervention with acupuncture. Conclusion Acupuncture is an effective approach in regulating depressed state.

This study was aimed to evaluate the hemostatic effect and mechanism of action for water decoction of Blumea megacephala (Randeria) Chang et Tseng in order to understand its influence to the liver function. The glass slides method and capillary tube method were used in the measurement of the coagulation time (CT). And the tail-cutting method was used to measure the bleeding time (BT), prothrombin time (PT), activated part clotting live en-zyme time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), content of plasma fibrinogen (FIB), platelet count (PLC), plasma complex cal-cium time (PRT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST). The results showed that intragastric administration with different doses of water decoction of Blumea megacephala (Randeria) Chang et Tseng (6.7 g·kg-1, 13.4 g·kg-1, 26.8 g·kg-1) can reduce CT and BT of mice. And intragastric administration with different doses of wa-ter decoction of Blumea megacephala (Randeria) Chang et Tseng (4.7 g·kg-1, 9.4 g·kg-1, 18.9 g·kg-1) can produce different degrees of impact on PT, APTT, TT and PRT of rats. Certain dose of water decoction of Blumea megacepha-la (Randeria) Chang et Tseng can reduce ALT and AST. It was concluded that Blumea megacephala (Randeria) Chang et Tseng had the hemostatic effect and its mechanism of action may be through the activation of the intrinsic and extrinsic coagulation system. There was no obvious damage to the liver.

ObjectiveTo observe the difference in the efficacy of three kinds of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) injections on rat model of heart failure induced by transverse aortic constriction (TAC), explore the TCM syndrome of the model based on the theory of correspondence of prescription and syndrome, and reveal the biological basis of prescription-syndrome from the perspective of metabolism. MethodRats were treated with TAC for modeling and were divided into Shenmai injection group (6.0 mL·kg-1), model group, Danhong injection group (6.0 mL·kg-1), Shenfu injection group (6.0 mL·kg-1) and trimetazidine group (10 mg·kg-1), and sham operation group was set up as control. After drug intervention for 15 days, echocardiography, serum N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and myocardial histopathological staining were performed for each group, so as to compare the efficacy to select the effective injection. Colorimetry was used to detect the serum glucolipid metabolism after the intervention of the effective injection, and ultra high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to observe the metabolites and related metabolic pathways in myocardial tissue. ResultCompared with the sham operation group, the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular fractional shortening (FS) in the model group decreased (P<0.01), while the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVIDd), left ventricular internal diameter at end-systole (LVIDs) and NT-proBNP level increased (P<0.01). Compared with model group, LVEF and FS increased (P<0.01), LVIDd, LVIDs and NT-proBNP level decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01) in Danhong injection group, NT-proBNP level in Shenfu injection group decreased (P<0.05), LVIDd and NT-proBNP level increased (P<0.05, P<0.01) in Shenmai injection group, in trimetazidine group, LVEF and FS increased (P<0.01), while LVIDs and NT-proBNP level decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Serum glucose, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in Danhong injection group and trimetazidine group were adjusted by callbacks (P<0.01, P<0.05). There were the callback of 9 myocardial metabolites in Danhong injection group, including glycine, serine and threonine metabolism, glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, glycerol phospholipid metabolism. There were the callback of 10 myocardial metabolites in trimetazidine group, including glycerol phospholipid metabolism. ConclusionThe efficacy of Danhong injection on heart failure model induced by TAC is significant and superior to Shenfu injection and Shenmai injection, suggesting that the model is closely related to heart-blood stasis. The biological mechanism of Danhong injection interfering with the model involves regulating the metabolic disorder of lipid, glucose, amino acid and butyric acid.
