Objective To investigate the effects of acupuncture at points Baihui (GV20), Yintang (Ex-HN3) and Sishencong (Ex-HN1) on spatial learning and memory abilities and hippocampal expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in a rat model of post-stroke depression (PSD). Method Thirty male adult SD rats were allocated, using a random number table, tocontrol, acupuncture and sham operation groups, 10 rats each. A rat model of PSD was made by classical middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) using an intraluminal thread technique, chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) and solitary feeding. At the fourteenth day after the beginning of stress, the acupuncture group received acupuncture intervention for 14 consecutive days. At one week after the end of stress, the Morris water maze test was conducted to assess rat spatial learning and memory abilities. After the completion of the water maze test, hippocampal CA3 regional BDNF expression was determined by immunohistochemical method. Result Rat learning and memory abilities decreased significantly in the control group compared with the sham operation group (P<0.05). Space exploration time and the number of crossing platform reflecting memory abilities decreased significantly in the control group (22.36±6.20 s and 3.72±0.90 times, respectively) compared with the sham operation group (48.73±5.40 s and 8.60±1.10 times, respectively); there were statistically significant differences (P<0.01). Learning abilities, space exploration time, the number of crossing platform and BDNF expression increased significantly in PSD rats treated with acupuncture compared with the control group; there were statistically significant differences (P<0.01). Conclusion Acupuncture can improve spatial learning and memory abilities and raise hippocampal regional BDNF levels in rats with post-stroke depression.

BACKGROUND: Recently emerged immunosuppressive scheme combined with basiliximab following liver transplantation, such as the early steroid withdrawal or half amount of steroid. Many studies demonstrated that it would not increase the rejection rate in reducing the use of steroid. However, there were rare reports addressing whether it was safe and effective to replace the steroid by basiliximab. OBJECTIVE: Through the application of non-steroid and early steroid withdrawal immunosuppressive scheme in patients of hepatocellular carcinoma following liver transplantation, to evaluate the therapeutic effect and safety of two treatments. METHODS: A total of 80 patients of hepatocellular carcinoma receiving liver transplantation were divided into the experimental and control group. In the experimental group, 33 patients were applied with non-steroid treatment (Tacrolimus+mycophenolate mofetil+basiliximab); additionally 47 patients were applied with early steroid withdrawal treatment (Tacrolimus+mycophenolate mofetil+ steroid). Steroid was reduced gradually from the first day after transplantation to discontinuation after 1 month. The rates of rejection, infection, cancer recurrence and 1 -year survival were measured. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared to the control group, the rates of infection and cancer recurrence were significantly smaller in the experimental group (P < 0.05). However, there was no significantly difference between 2 groups in the rates of rejection and 1 -year survival (P > 0.05). It revealed that the non-steroid treatment can be safely and effectively applied in the patients with hepatocellular carcinoma following liver transplantation. The non-steroid treatment can significantly cut down the infection rate and cancer recurrence rate, which has no effect on the rejection and 1 -year survival rate.

Objective To study experienced doctors’ treatment of senile dementia based on association rule. Methods Databases, such as CNKI, CSCD, CBMdisc, CPD, and Wanfang Data were searched for articles about senile dementia. SPSS17.0 and Clementine12.0 software were used for frequency and correlation analysis of prescription. Results In total of 67 articles about TCM therapy for senile dementia were included, containing 112 prescriptions, 178 Chinese herbal medicines, 1589 frequency, and 14.2 entries for each prescription. The first three frequently used herbal medicines were Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma, Polygala Radix, and Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. Accoring to association rule, the first three medicine pairs were Citrus Reticulatae Pericarpium→Pinelliae Rhizoma, Dioscoreae Rhizoma→Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, and Codonopsis Radix→Citrus Reticulatae Pericarpium. The first three thriple herbal medicines were Dioscoreae Rhizoma+Lycii Fructus→Corni Fructus, Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma+Corni Fructus→Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, and Carthami Flos + Hirudo→Bupleuri Radix. Conclusion The results based on association rule effectively summarized all the doctors’ treatment experience in senile dementia, and provided the beneficial reference for the clinical treatment of senile dementia.

Objective:To investigate the effect of live lactobacillus preparation in the treatment of postpartum vagina microenviro-ment dysbiosis. Methods:Totally 300 cases of postpartum women were selected in our hospital from February 2013 to November 2013, including those with normal delivery, cesarean section and vaginal delivery after lochia, and each was with 100 cases. The vaginal se-cretion was withdrawn from vagina and the microenvironment was assessed. The patients with dysbiosis were randomly divided into two groups, the observation group was treated with living lactobacillus preparation and the treatment group was without treatment. The effi-cacy and incidence of bacterial vaginosis(BV) were observed. Results:Totally 88 cases (29. 3%) occurred vaginal dysbiosis. There were significant differences in the dysbiosis incidence rate, pH, H2 O2 results, microscopic examination results and the distribution of flora between the two groups (P <0. 05). The effective rate of the observation group was 95. 5%, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (29. 5%). The incidence rate of BV was 4. 5% in the observation group, which was significantly lower than that in the control group [75%] (P<0. 05). Conclusion: The effect of the lactobacillus preparation in the treatment of postpartum vagina microenviroment dysbiosis is promising and safe.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of wearing N95 mask on the quality of chest compression and fatigue.Methods:A total of 80 participants from Zhongnan Hospital with basic life support (BLS) certification conferred by American Heart Association (AHA) within two years were enrolled. After reviewing the key points of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and grasping the operation on the manikin, they were randomized (random number) into two groups: wearing surgical masks (SM group, n=40) and wearing N95 masks (N95 group, n=40) during CPR. Each participant performed a 2-minute chest compression-only CPR on the manikin. Participants' height, body weight, Borg scores and physiological parameters before and after CPR were recorded. The quality of chest compression (including compression depth, compression rate, adequate depth proportions, adequate rate proportions, hand position and complete chest recoil) were recorded by Laerdal QCPR ? software. Student's t test and Mann-Whitney test were used to compare the differences of chest compression quality indexes between the two groups. Results:Compared with the SM group, participants in the N95 group had significantly increased median of Borg scores after CPR (16 vs 14, P=0.027), and decreased quality of chest compression, including the decline in compression depth (mean 47 mm vs 52 mm, P=0.020), compression rate (107 times/min vs 118 times/min, P=0.004), complete chest recoil rate (89.8% vs 98.1%, P=0.046), adequate depth proportions (67.4% vs 89.6%, P<0.01) and adequate rate proportions (60.6% vs 74.8%, P<0.01). Conclusions:Wearing N95 masks during CPR decreases the quality of chest compression and aggravates rescuers’ fatigue. Therefore, it is necessary to exchange rescuers more frequently to ensure the quality of chest compression when wearing N95 masks.

Adult-onset Still′s disease (AOSD) is a type of systemic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology, with diverse clinical manifestations, and there are some difficulties in its diagnosis and treatment. In recent years, it has been found that some new markers, such as heme oxygenase 1, calreticulin, inflammatory cytokines and advanced glycation end products, can be used for a comprehensive assessment of the activity and severity of AOSD. Moreover, new biological agents, such as tumor necrosis factor inhibitors, interleukin-1 (IL-1) inhibitors, IL-6 inhibitors and recombinant IL-18 binding proteins, bring new hope for the treatment of AOSD. This review mainly summarizes progress in the diagnosis and treatment of AOSD.
