Objective To invesgate the influence of aceclofenac to cartilage cell proliferation and substrate metabolism in osteoarthritis.Methods Select 65 cases of patients with osteoarthritis who were treated in Department of Rheumatism and Hematology of Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University from September 2011 to September 2013.Patients were divided into observation group(n=35)and control group(n=30).The observation group were treated with aceclofenac,while control group were treated with ibuprofen,Compare the efficacy of patients in two group.Compare human articular cartilage cells of 5-bromodeoxyuridine(BrdU)positive rate,the content of glycogen protein(PG)and collagen type Ⅱ in two groups. Results The effective rate of observation group and control group was 74.29%and 73.33% respectively.There was significant difference between the two groups. Compared with control group,the joints pain,joints tenderness,15 meters walking time,daily activity ability(P<0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions of observation group(1 1.43%)was significantly lower than that of control group(P<0.05 ).The difference of BrdU positive rate in two groups had no statistical significance. Ⅱ type collagen content of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group (P <0.05 ).PG of observation group was significantly lower than that of control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The efficacy of aceclofenac is good and the incidence of adverse reactions is low in treatment of osteoarthritis.Aceclofenac can alleviate clinical symptoms of patients by increasing collagen type Ⅱ and decreasing PG.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of Valerian on the level of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), cell proliferation and neuron number in cerebral hippocampus of rats with depression induced by chronic mild stress. METHODS: Seventy rats were divided into 7 groups: normal control, untreated, negative control, positive control, and low-, medium- and high-dose Valerian-treated groups. There were 10 rats in each group. Except for the normal control group, depression was induced in rats by chronic mild stress. The depressive rats in the other six groups were intragastrically administered with sodium carboxymethycellulose, fluoxetine, and low, medium and high-dose Valerian, respectively for 3 weeks. After the treatment, the proliferating cells in the hippocampus were labeled by injecting bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) in 7 groups. The content of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in the hippocampus was detected by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the number of hippocampal neurons was counted by morphometry. RESULTS: Compared with the normal control group, the levels of 5-HT in the hippocampus in the low- and medium-dose Valerian-treated groups were increased and recovered to normal level. After the administration of low-dose Valerian for 3 weeks, the number of BrdU positive cells and neurons in the hippocampus of the depressive rats were recovered to the normal status. CONCLUSION: Minidose Valerian may promote the level of 5-HT and cell proliferation in the hippocampus of the depressive rats, and may play a role in saving injured neurons of the hippocampus.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of Rhodiola rosea on the body weight and the intake of sucrose and water in depressive rats induced by chronic mild stress.dz METHODS: A total of 70 male SD rats were divided into seven groups, including normal control group (treated with 0.5% sodium carboxymethycellulose), untreated group, negative control group (treated with 0.5% sodium carboxymethycellulose), positive control group (treated with fluoxetine), low-, medium- and high-dose Rhodiola rosea group (treated with 1.5, 3, 6 g/kg Rhodiola rosea respectively). Except for rats in normal control group, the other sixty rats endured chronic stress for 4 weeks to establish the depression model. After that, rats were administered Rhodiola rosea for 3 weeks. During the whole experiment, the body weight, and sucrose intake, tap water intake of all rats were examined once a week. RESULTS: After the termination of the stress regime, compared with the normal control group, the body weight and 1% sucrose intake in depressive rats were decreased. After 3-week Rhodiola rosea treatment, the body weight and 1% sucrose intake increased in rats of the low-dose Rhodiola rosea group and recovered to the level of the normal control group. CONCLUSION: Low-dose Rhodiola rosea can increase the body weight and sucrose intake of depressive rats, making them recover to normal status.

Objective Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common degenerative disease of the central nervous system.The main pathological feature is the reduction of dopaminergic neurons,which induces motion symptoms such as resting tremor,muscle rigidity,bradykinesia,and postural disorder.The etiology and pathogenesis of PD are complex and related to a variety of factors.The current pathogenesis is related to mitochondrial dysfunction,oxidative stress,neuroinflammatory response,apoptosis,and autophagy.The early onset of PD is occult and the rate of misdiagnosis is high.It requires a new simple,safe,and effective early diagnosis method.The current methods of early diagnosis mainly include clinical non-motor symptoms,biomarkers,and imaging examination methods.
