World Science and Technology-Modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2014;(6):1287-1293
This study was aimed to compare the difference of treatment on acute adjuvant arthritis (AA) by using dif-ferent energy densities withirradiation on ST36-Zusanli under the fixed wavelength (650 nm) by the semiconductor. Biological effect and traits of the laser irradiation were also studied. A total of 60 healthy male SD rats were random-ly divided into the normal control group, model group, low energy density group (61.89 J/cm2)and high energy density group (247.57 J/cm2). The Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) was intradermallyinjected into rats' right hind paw to establish AA rat model. The treatment group was treated with 650nm semiconductor laser irradiation on ST36-Zu-sanli with the energy density of 61.89 J/cm2 and 247.57 J/cm2, respectively. The joint swelling degree, pain thresh-old, TNF-α and IL-1β level changes were observed on thefirst, third and fifthtreatment after modeling. The results showed that compared with the normal group, the joint swelling degree, pain threshold, TNF-α, and IL-1β were obvi-ously increased in the model group (P<0.05). After five times treatment, the semiconductor laser with low and high energy density had effect on acute inflammation. And the high energy density treatment effect had a better effect than the low energy density one (P<0.05). It was concluded that the energy density of 61.89 J/cm2 and 247.57 J/cm2 of semiconductor laser irradiation on ST36-Zusanli can relieve acute inflammatory pain and swelling caused by AA; re-duce the TNF-α and IL-1β concentration levels. Semiconductor laser irradiation had the characteristics of stimula-tion or inhibition, cumulative effect and parabola. Low energy density group obtained the best effect between the third and fifth treatment.

After the intervention, the level of IgA(1.92±0.63) g/L, IgG(11.36±1.26) g/L, IgM(2.01±0.57) g/L in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (1.62±0.49), (9.58±1.23), (1.60±0.47) g/L, respectively, and the differences between the two groups were significant ( P=0.020, <0.001, =0.001, respectively). In the observation group, the hospital stay(12.1±1.7) d, postoperative ambulation time (1.9±0.6) d and exhaust time (3.1±0.4) d was less than that in the control group(17.2±2.4) d, (2.8±1.0) d, (4.2±0.8) d, respectively, and there were significant differences between two groups(all P<0.001). The postoperative complication rate of 5.0%(2/40) in the observation group was significantly lower than 25.0%(10/40) in the control group (χ 2=6.275, P=0.012). Conclusion:The patients with radiation enteritis and intestinal obstruction treated by conventional surgery were given eras intervention, which improved the nutritional level, immune function and inflammatory stress reaction of the patients, improved the treatment effect of the patients, and shortened the hospitalization time.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of intestinal obstruction catheter in patients with tuberculous peritonitis complicated with intestinal obstruction and its influence on inflammatory factors.Methods:Sixty-two patients of tuberculous peritonitis with intestinal obstruction were admitted to the general surgery department of the Eighth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from June 2015 to January 2020 in this prospective study.According to the method of digital table, cases were randomly divided into control group and treatment group, 31 cases in each group.The control group was given conventional treatment, while the treatment group was treated with intestinal obstruction catheter on the basis of conventional treatment.The clinical indexes such as abdominal pain relief time, antipyretic time, exhaust time, gas-liquid level disappearance time and hospitalization time were compared between the two groups.According to the levels of C-reactive protein(CRP), Interleukin-6(IL-6), Interleukin-8(IL-8) and Interferon-γ(IFN-γ), the inflammatory stress state of the two groups before and after treatment was compared.The changes of gastrin, motilin, vasoactine intrestinal peptide(VIP) were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results:The time to relieve abdominal pain(2.08±1.17) d, the time to reduce fever(3.36±1.89) d, the time to exhaust gas(2.12±1.45) d, the time to disappear gas-liquid level(2.58±1.61) d and the time to stay-in-hospital(9.22±2.13) d in the observation group, and those in the control group were (6.26±2.52), (5.68±2.44), (6.18±2.24), (7.34±2.23), (17.49±3.46) d, respectively.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant( P=0.013, 0.024, 0.035, 0.014 and 0.002, respectively). Before treatment, CRP, IL-6, IL-8, IFN-γ in the control group were (105.62±11.96) mg/L, (657.31±49.67) ng/L, IL-8 (463.53±31.74) ng/L and (47.24±9.66) ng/L , and (106.07±12.03) mg/L, (678.46±51.19) ng/L, (471.68±32.03) ng/L and (46.84±9.28) ng/L in the observation group respectively, and there were no significant differences between the two groups before treatment ( P>0.05). After treatment, CRP, IL-6, IL-8, IFN-γ were (86.25±9.16) mg/L, (373.25±24.18) ng/L, (211.26±20.83) ng/L and (35.42±7.52) ng/L in the control group, and (53.72±7.68) mg/L, (184.27±16.92) ng/L, (82.51±11.35) ng/L and (19.65±3.46) ng/L in the observation group, respectively.After treatment, there were significant differences in the indicators between the two groups ( P=0.021, 0.015, 0.029, 0.011, respectively). There was no difference in the levels of gastrin((180.89±21.17) vs(192.32±21.69) ng/L), motilin((336.73±7.23) vs(357.46±7.29) ng/L) and VIP((102.87±13.49) vs(109.31±13.53)pg/L) between the observation and control group before treatment( P>0.05, respectively). After treatment, the levels of gastrin(65.57±8.72) ng/L, motilin(135.71±14.38) ng/L and VIP(55.07±7.15) pg/L in the observation group were lower than those in the control group((110.35±13.86) ng/L, (231.93±21.95) ng/L, (81.56±10.59) pg/L, respectively), and the differences were statistically significant( P=0.013, 0.021 and 0.014, respectively). Conclusion:Intestinal obstruction catheter can effectively improve the clinical effect, reduce the inflammatory stress response, and promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function in patients with tuberculous peritonitis complicated with intestinal obstruction.

OBJECTIVETo study the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-associated coronavirus genotype and its characteristics.
METHODSA SARS-associated coronavirus isolate named ZJ01 was obtained from throat swab samples taken from a patient in Hangzhou, Zhejing province. The complete genome sequence of ZJ01 consisted of 29,715 bp (GenBank accession: AY297028, version: gi: 30910859). Seventeen SARS-associated coronavirus genome sequences in GenBank were compared to analyze the common sequence variations and the probability of co-occurrence of multiple polymorphisms or mutations. Phylogenetic analysis of those sequences was done.
RESULTSBy bioinformatics processing and analysis, the 5 loci nucleotides at ZJ01 genome were found being T, T, G, T and T, respectively. Compared with other SARS-associated coronavirus genomes in the GenBank database, an A/G mutation was detected besides the other 4 mutation loci (C:G:C:C/T:T:T:T) involved in this genetic signature. Therefore a new definition was put forward according to the 5 mutation loci. SARS-associated coronavirus strains would be grouped into two genotypes (C:G:A:C:C/T:T:G:T:T), and abbreviated as SARS coronavirus C genotype and T genotype. On the basis of this new definition, the ZJ01 isolate belongs to SARS-associated coronavirus T genotype, first discovered and reported in mainland China. Phylogenetic analysis of the spike protein gene fragments of these SARS-associated coronavirus strains showed that the GZ01 isolate was phylogenetically distinct from other isolates, and compared with groups F1 and F2 of the T genotype, the isolates of BJ01 and CUHK-W1 were more closely related to the GZ01 isolate. It was interesting to find that two (A/G and C/T) of the five mutation loci occurred in the spike protein gene, which caused changes of Asp to Gly and Thr to Ile in the protein, respectively.
CONCLUSIONAttention should be paid to whether these genotype and mutation patterns are related to the virus's biological activities,epidemic characteristics and host clinical symptoms.
