1.A mechanism of endogenous opioid peptides for rapid onset of acupuncture effect in treatment of depression.
Journal of Integrative Medicine 2010;8(11):1014-7
Clinical and experimental studies show that the onset of effect of acupuncture on depression is more rapid than selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, a class of antidepressants. Acupuncture treatment is characterized by controlling anxiety and gastrointestinal discomfort. The onset time of acupuncture treatment for various pains is a week or so, which is the same as the rapid onset time of antidepressant effect of acupuncture, and the main pathway of acupuncture analgesia is through endogenous opioid system. Opioid peptides can produce pleasure, and decrease anxiety and gastrointestinal discomfort, so opioid peptides are considered to have antidepressant effect. Accordingly, the main pathway of acupuncture analgesia-the endogenous opioid system, is considered a mechanism for rapid onset of acupuncture effects on depression.

Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) was isolated and clamped for 60 min followed by 120min reperfusion. In group III , IV and V 10min before SMA occlusion was released different doses of propofol was continuously infused until the end of experiment. In group I and II isovolemic normal saline was infused instead of propofol. Lung Ca2+ content was measured and ultrastructure of the lung examined. Results The lung tissue Ca2+ content increased significantly after IIR in group II and III as compared with group I , IV and V ( P
4.Discussion on advantages and disadvantages of frequent cervical regulating manipulation from spinal biomechanics
China Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmacy 2005;0(08):-
Cervical regulating manipulation is based on the extrinsic active system and intrinsic support system. Only when the former system is relaxed, can the motive force of regulating manipulation reach the latter system to extend the vertebral discs and regulate the posterior joints. Frequent cervical regulating manipulation can stretch soft tissue around the joint and enlarge activity of joint and make it soft from subjective views, but it isn’t proved by experiment. From the aspect of spinal biomechanics, cervical regulating manipulation has advantages and disadvantages, so it should be used according to certain standard, or it will cut down the self-regulation activity of spinal biomechanics.

Objective To investigate the effects of desflurane inhalation on pulmonary alveolar-capillary membrane permeability and the inflammatory cell counts in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) during endotoxin-induced acute lung injury in rats. Methods Forty-eight Wistar rats weighing 200-290 g were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital 100mg?kg-1 , tracheotomized and mechanically ventilated. PETCO2 was maintained at 35-45 mm Hg (VT 8 ml?kg-1 , RR 65-70 bpm). Right carotid artery and left femoral vein were cannulated for BP monitoring and fluid and drug administration. The animals were randomly divided into four group with 12 animals in each group : (1) control group received normal saline (NS) 1.2 ml i.v. followed by 4 h mechanical ventilation; (2) LPS group received LPS (055:B5, Sigma) 5 mg?kg-1 followed by 4h mechanical ventilation; (3)Desflurane group A and B received LPS 5 mg? kg-1 followed by desflurane inhalation for 4 h at 1 MAC (desflurane group A) or 1.5 MAC (desflurane group B) . Six animals in each group received Evans blue 50 mg?kg-1 at the beginning of the experiment for determination of pulmonary alveolar-capillary membrane permeability at the end of the experiment. The animals were sacrificed by exsanguinations at the end of 4h mechanical ventilation. Blood was collected for determination of total plasma protein concentration. Lungs were removed. The right lung was lavaged and BALF was collected for determination of protein content, and differential inflammatory cell counts. The left lung was used for microscopic examination. The morphologic changes were scored 0-3 (0 = normal, 3 = severe morphologic changes). In addition wet/dry lung weight ratio, pulmonary permeability index (BALF protein concentration /total plasma protein concentration?10-3 ) and mortality rate were also determined. Results In group 3 (desflurane 1 MAC) W/D lung weight ratio and lung water content significantly increased compared with those in LPS group. In group 4 ( desflurane 1.5 MAC) W/D lung weight ratio, lung water content, pulmonary permeability index, Evans blue content in lung tissue, morphological change scores and mortality rate were all significantly increased compared with LPS group (group 2). There was no significant difference in total and differential inflammatory cell counts in BALF between group 2 and 4.Conclusion Desflurane inhalation is detrimental to the lungs acutely injured by endotoxin in a dose-dependent manner.

[ABSTRACT]OBJECTIVETo observe the anatomic relationship between the middle and distal section of bony nasolacrimal duct and anterior wall of maxillary sinus. METHODS206 cases of sinus CT without maxillary disorders were enrolled. The middle and distal section of bony nasolacrimal duct and anterior wall of maxillary sinus is divided into fusion type and separation types, and the angle between the anterior and medial wall of the maxillary sinus is divided into frontal and lateral types in relation to the middle and distal section of bony lacrimal duct.RESULTSThe fusion type accounted for 40.05%, and the separate type was 59.95%. There was no statistical difference between male and female.The proportion of inconsistency on both sides was 16.02%. The frontal type of the angle between the anterior and medial wall of the maxillary sinus accounted for 64.08%, meanwhile the proportion of the lateral type was 35.92%. The lateral type was 84.24% out of the cases of fusion type, whereas the frontal type was15.76%. In the separate type, the frontal type accounted for 97.17%, and the lateral type was 2.92%. CONCLUSIONThe anatomic relationship between the middle and distal section of bony nasolacrimal duct and anterior wall of maxillary sinus shows different type, which is helpful to choose operative strategy.

Objective:To detect the functional role of Fascin1 and its related molecular mechanisms in migration and invasion capacity of glioma cells,we utilized gene specific small interference RNA of Fascin1 in cell line U87 MG. Methods:Fascin1-siRNA or negative siRNA was transfected into U87 MG cells of control group or experiment group. Transwell method was employed to assess the migration and invasion capacity of glioma cells. Western blot analysis was used to detect the protein expression of Fascin1,pAKT and pSTAT3. The impact of PI3K/AKT pathway and STAT3 pathway on migration and invasion of U87 MG cells was verified,via applying LY294002 and LY294002,which was inhibitor of the two pathways respectively. Results:As compared to control groups,the migration and invasion capacity of transfected glioma cells were attenuated about 52% or 43%(P<0. 05),accompanied with the decreased phos-phorylation of AKT and STAT3. As utilizing the inhibitors of AKT and STAT3,attenuated migration and invasion capacity of U87 MG cells were observed. Conclusion:Down-regulated expression of Fascin1 could suppress the migration and invasion capacity of U87 MG cells by inhibiting the phosphorylation of PI3K/AKT pathway and STAT3 pathway.
