Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2015;(6):553-555
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of stiletto needle acupuncture plus conventional acupuncture in treating cervical vertigo. Method Sixty patients with cervical vertigo were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups. The treatment group of 30 patients received stiletto needle acupuncture plus conventional acupuncture and the control group, conventional acupuncture alone. An assessment was made using the modified Cervical Vertigo Symptom and Function Evaluation Scale in both groups before and after treatment. Result After two courses of treatment, the total efficacy rate was 93.3% in the treatment group and 73.3% in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference in the symptom score in the two groups and post-treatment difference in the symptom score between the two groups (P<0.01). Conclusion Stiletto needle acupuncture plus conventional acupuncture has a definite therapeutic effect on cervical vertigo. Its therapeutic effect is superior to that of conventional acupuncture alone.

Objective To investigate the effects,difficult points and technical key points of the interventional embolization in brain micro-aneurysms.Methods Retrospectively analyzed the material of the interventional embolization in 38 patients with brain micro-aneurysm.Results Twenty-six cases were treated with simple spring coil embolization technology,4 cases were treated with double micro-catheter embolization technic,2 cases were treated with embolization combining ballon assistive technic and 6 cases were treated with embolization combining stent assistive technic.All the 38 patients successfully embolized.The postoperative immediate cerebral angiogram to determine the degree of embolization:12 cases were 0 level,21 cases were 1 level and 5 cases were 2 level.The Rankin grade results showed that 0-1 score in 24 cases,2 scores in 10 cases,3-4 scores in 2 cases and 5 scores in 2 cases.Thirty-three patients were followed up for 6-12 months.No aneurysms recurred or re-raptured.Conclusions The spring coil embolization of brain micro-aneurysms is a feasible,safe and effective method,though the technics involved is difficulty.Selecting suitable embolization technics according to the characteristic of each micro-aneurysm can reduce the risk of operation,decrease complications and increase the successful rate.

Objective To investigate the imaging findings of primary bone malignant fibrous histiocytoma (PBMFH) in long bone. Methods MRI and XV ray examinations were performed in 10 patients with PBMFH in long bone confirmed by histology. CT scans were performed in 6 cases. Results Nine cases had single and 1 case had multiple lesions of single bone. Seven cases showed osteolytic bone destruction, and 3 cases showed mixed bone destruction. Only 1 case showed periosteal reaction. Gross bony ridge was seen in 3 cases on CT scan. All the patients demonstrated isointensity or hypointensity on T1WI, and slight hyperintensity signal on T2WI. Necrosis was seen in the lesion of 10 cases. Four cases showed obvious but heterogeneous enhancement after contrast medium injection. Eight cases had soft tissue mass beyond the scope of bone destruction. Conclusions Some imaging features may suggest the diagnosis of PBMFH in long bone.

Objective To investigate the effect of salinity and temperature on motility of Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Methods V.parahaemolyticus was inoculated on swarming or swimming agar plates containing different amounts of salinity (0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0%, and 4.0% NaCl, respectively), followed by incubation at 26 or 37℃, before the diameters of bacterial lawns were measured .Results and Conclusion The swarming motility was not affected by salinity , while the swimming motility was positively correlated with salinity .Maximum swimming occurred in 2.0% NaCl, and displayed a slight decline in salinity of 4.0%.Both swimming and swarming were affected by temperature , and the motility was signifi-cantly enhanced in 37℃vs 26℃.These results indicate that both salinity and temperature can modulate the motility of V. parahaemolyticus.

Aim To observe the anti-hepatitis B virus effect of total phenolics acid extracted from Oenanthe Javanica(OJTPA) with in vitro experiments.Methods HePG2 2.2.15 cells were treated with OJTPA,which were diluted into 500 mg?L-1,250 mg?L-1 and 125 mg?L-1 groups.The test set up positive control group(entecavir,3 mg?L-1) and normal control group.The cells of the 4 th,8 th and 4 th day ceasing treatment were collected.The content of HBV-DNA and cccDNA was determined with Quantitative Real-Time PCR method,and the inhibition rates were calculated.Results OJTPA could obviously inhibit HBV-DNA and cccDNA under the dosages used in the experiment,and showed a dose-dependent relationship.The inbhibitory rates reached the peak of 62.3% and 62.7% for HBV-DNA and cccDNA respectively,and a high inhibitory rate was retained within 3 days of OJTPA withdrawal.Conclusion OJTPA has significant inhibition on HBV-DNA and cccDNA and there is no significant rebound phenomenon.

Objective To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on inflammatory response during the perioperative period in patients with acute craniocerebral trauma.Methods Seventy ASA Ⅰ-Ⅳ patients of both sexes,aged 20-68 yr,with craniocerebral trauma,who required decompressive craniectomy within the next 24 h,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =35 each) ∶ control group (group C) and dexmedetomidine group (group D).Anesthesia was induced with fentanyl,propofol and cisatracurium and maintained with remifentanil,sevoflurane and propofol and intermittent iv boluses of cisatracurium.In group D,dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg was infused over 10 min,followed by infusion at 0.4 μg· kg-1 · h-1 for 2 h.Venous blood samples were taken before induction of anesthesia (baseline),2 h after the beginning of operation,at the end of operation and at 24 h after operation (T1-T4) to determine the concentrations of serum neurone specific enolase (NSE),interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α).Results Compared with group C,the concentrations of serum NSE,IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly decreased in group D (P < 0.05).The concentrations of serum NSE,IL-6 and TNF-αwere significantly higher at T2 and T3,and the concentration of serum TNF-α was significantly lower at T4 than at T1 in group C (P < 0.05).The concentrations of serum NSE and IL-6 were significantly higher at T2 and T3 and lower at T4 and the concentration of serum TNF-α was significantly higher at T3 and T4 than at T1 in group D (P <0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine protects the brain against acute craniocerebral trauma by inhibiting systemic inflammatory response during the perioperative period.
