Conclusion Sancaoanqian decoction can regulate the immune function in chronic prostatitis rat model. Down-regulation of cytokines maybe one of important mechanisms in treating chronic prostatitis.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of unintentional injuries among children patients at age of ≤ 14 years so as to provide scientific basis for prevention of the children injury. Methods ICD-10 coding was used to retrospectively analyze the epidemiological characteristics of the children patients with unintentional injuries at age of ≤ 14 years admitted from January to December 2009 and the factors affecting the prognosis were discussed. Results There were 3011 patients, with 1991 males (66.12%) and 1 020 females (33.88%). The patients at ages of < 1, 1-4, 5-9 and 10-14 years accounted for 8.24%, 53.30%, 27.90% and 10.56% respectively. The patients from the rural and urban areas accounted for 56.16% and 43.84% respectively. Trauma was the leading sort of injuries in four age groups, accounting for 70.56%, 62.68%, 89.64% and 87.74% respectively. Fall from height was the first cause of unintentional injuries in four age groups, with proportion for 47.58%,36.39%, 51.90% and 56.29% respectively. Muhinomial logistic regression analysis revealed that hospital stay, therapeutic mode ( operation/non-operation), inhabitancy ( urban/rural), causes of injuries and injury severity on admission were the risk factors affecting the prognosis (P < 0.05 ). The rural areas caused higher risk of disability than the urban areas ( OR = 2. 170 ,P < 0.01 ) and non-operation produced higher risk of death than operation (OR = 6.352,P < 0. 01 ). Conclusions The male patients with unintentional injury are more than the female ones, with the highest incidence rate in children at age of 1-4years. Trauma is the main kind of unintentional injury and the fall from height the leading cause of injury.The difference of the rural and urban areas indicates that correct choice of the preventive measures based oh the condition of the local area can attain effective prevention and control of the unintentional injuries.

Objective To investigate the application value of transcranial Doppler ultrasonography(TCD) in critically ill children with cerebral dysfunction.Methods We detected the cerebral blood flow parameters[systolic velocity(Vs),mean velocity(Vm),end of diastolic velocity(Vd),pulsatility index(PI),resistance index(RI)] of middle cerebral artery in cerebral dysfunction group(n=20) and control group(no cerebral dysfunction,n=20),and observed the differences of those parameters between two groups.Children in cerebral dysfunction group were also divided into groups according to Glasgow Coma Score(GCS) and prognosis.The differences of each TCD parameter in diverse groups divided by GCS and by prognosis were analysed.Children in cerebral dysfunction group were checked TCD everyday until TCD parameters were normal.The relation between the days of TCD parameters′ reaching normal and GCS,duration of disorder of consciousness with correlation analysis were analysed.Results Vs,PI,RI in cerebral dysfunction group were higher than those in control group,while Vd was lower (P<0.05).(2)PI in the group of GCS less than 6 points(0.91±0.21) was higher than that in group of GCS 7-13 points(0.83±0.14)(P<0.05).The other parameters between two groups of GCS less than 6 points and GCS 7-13 points were not significantly indistinctive.Between the good prognosis group and the bad prognosis group,there were no significant differences in all parameters.(3) The days of TCD parameters′ reaching normal were negatively correlated with GCS(r=-0.653,P<0.01),but positively correlated with the duration of disorder of consciousness(r=0.923,P<0.01).Conclusion The cerebral hemodynamics of children with cerebral dysfunction is abnormal,the more serious cerebral dysfunction,the higher PI and the longer time for regaining normal TCD parameters.Constantly monitoring TCD could reflect the changes of cerebral hemodynamics and is valuable to assess the state of illness and prognosis.

Objective To explore the changes of genes associated with the nuclear factor of kappa B(NF-?B) signaling pathway in neonatal rats with early hypoxic-ischemic reperfusion brain damage(HIRBD).Methods Twenty-four SD rats at age of 7 days,with male to female of 1212,were randomized into normal control group(group A,n=8),hypoxic-ischemia reperfusion for 2 h(group B,n=8) and hypoxic-ischemia reperfusion for 4 h(group C,n=8).The tissues of hippocampus were taken for complete RNA extraction.Gene chip inspection and biological signal analysis technique were used to detect the expression of 113 involved signal molecules of NF-?B pathway.Results Compared with group A,the up-regulated expression was found in Chemokine(C-C motif) ligand 2,Dual specificity phosphatase 1,FBJ osteosarcoma oncogene(Fos) and Toll-like receptor 9.Whereas the expressions of Caspase-1,8,Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 6,Mitogen activated protein kinase 3 and Ras homolog gene family member a from Ras-gene famimly was found down-regulated in group B.The up-regulated expression was in Fos,IL-1? and Toll-like receptor 6,but that of down-regulation was found in Caspase-1,Extracellular matrix protein 1,Lysophosphatidic Acid G-protein-coupled receptor 2,Mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation gene 1,Inhibitor of kappa B kinase epsilon and Ras homolog gene family member c.Conclusions At the early stage of HIRBD,the Toll-like receptors may induce NF-?B activation,leading to the coordinated induction of multiple genes,which is involved in inflammatory,apoptosis and cell proliferation.Genes induced by NF-?B are responsible for the physiopathological process of early brain damage in neonatal rats with HIRBD.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of tube moxibustion plus point-toward-point needling method for refractory facial paralysis. Methods: A total of 100 patients with refractory facial paralysis who met the inclusion criteria were randomized into an observation group and a control group, with 50 cases in each group. Both groups were treated with acupuncture by point-toward-point needling method, mainly in the affected eye, cheek and mouth areas. The observation group was given additional tube moxibustion after receiving the point-toward-point needling method, which inserted a tube moxibustion device into the external acoustic meatus 1 cm on the affected side for 20 min. Both groups were treated once a day, 6 times a week, for 4 consecutive weeks. The House-Brackmann scale was scored before and after treatment, and the facial nerve electromyogram data were collected. Results: The total effective rate of the observation group was 93.6％, which was higher than 64.6％ of the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). The proportion of new-onset facial paralysis complications (facial synkinesis, facial spasm, facial paralysis perversion, and crocodile tears) in the observation group was 6.4％, which was lower than 35.4％ in the control group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). In the observation group, the numbers of cases after treatment with the ratio of action potential amplitude between the affected side and the healthy side increased by 10％-30％ and over 30％ were more than those in the control group. And the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Tube moxibustion plus point-toward-point needling method has a better effect in improving symptoms of refractory facial paralysis, decreasing the incidence of sequelae, and increasing clinical efficacy than the point-toward- point needling method alone.

Objective To observe the effect of non-ablative treatment combined intense pulse light (IPL) and Q switched Nd :YAG laser on hyperpigmented skin diseases. Methods Total 250 cases of Fitzpatrick skin types Ⅲ and Ⅳ with hyperpigmented skin disorders received 4 treatments with combined 560nm IPI. and 532 nm Q switched Nd :YAG laser. The interval between two treat-ments was I month. After 3 months the effect of IPL was observed. If it was not good, we used the Q switched Nd :YAG laser. Efficacy and adverse effects were evaluated 3-6 months after the final treat-ment. Results 3-6 months after the last treatment, 50%-70% of patients had their telangiectasia, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation and wrinking of facial photoaging improved. The degree of im-provement was more than 60 %. Common side effects were minor blistering and erythema. Conclusion Combined IPI. and Q switched Nd :YAG laser treatment is an idea non-ablative therapy for telangi-ectasia, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation and wrinking of facial photoaging in Fitzpatrick skin types Ⅲ and Ⅳ in Asian.

Objective To observe the expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in lung of rats after paraquat (PQ) poisoning and to investigate the therapeutic effects of ulinastatin. Method Seventy-two adult healthy SD rats were randomly(random number) divided into control group (group A, n = 24), poisoning group (group B, n =24) and ulinastatin group (group C, n =24). The rat models of acute PQ poisoning were established by intra-gastric administration of 80 mg/kg PQ to rats of group B and group C, and the rats of group C were intra-peritoneally injected with 100 000 IU/kg ulinastatin 30 minutes after poisoning. The expression of HSP70 in lung tissue was observed, and W/D and histopathological changes in lung tissue were compared 12 h,24 h,48 h and 72 hours after poisoning. The expression of HSP70 in lung tissue was assayed by using RT-PCR. All quantitative data were processed with one-way analysis of variance to compare multiple sample means. Results Compared with group A, the expression of HSP70 in the lung of rats in group B and group C increased significantly at all intervals ( P ＜ 0.05). The pathological changes in lung tissue of rats with PQ poisoning showed mainly congestion,leukocytes infiltration and local hemorrhage, and the pathological changes in lung tissue of group C were significantly lessened. Conclusions Ulinastatin may ameliorate the acute lung injury to a certain extent after PQ poisoning in rats by enhancing the expression of HSP70.
