2.Clinical Observation on General Anxiety Disorder Treated by Acupuncture plus Herbal Medicine
Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2007;5(4):234-237
To investigate the efficacy of the formula composed of the herbal drugs to soothe the liver, regulate qi, clarify the heart and eliminate vexation plus acupuncture for general anxiety disorder. Methods: Forty cases in the treatment group were treated with acupuncture plus herbal formula and 38 cases in the control group were treated with oral Doxepin. The assessment was conducted by Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and the Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (TESS) before, during and after treatment. Results: The total effective rate was respectively 82.50% in the treatment group and 84.21% in the control group, with a significant difference in SAS assessment (P<0.01) between the two groups before and after the treatment.There were no significant differences in the curative and remarkable effective rate, total effective rate and SAS assessment between the two groups (P>0.05), but the side effect was higher in the control group than in the treatment group (P<0.01). Conclusion: Acupuncture plus herbal formula can have a precise effective effect for extensive anxiety neurosis with mild toxic side effects.

Objective To investigate.the survival rates in a follow-up group of patient with primary liver cancer.Methods The follow-up data of new primary liver cancer cases between year 2001-2004 in Xuhui district was investigated.The age distribution of patients was described.Survival rate was analyzed with single and multiple Cox proportional hazards regression model,respectively.Results The age proportion distribution of patients showed double apexes with one in age 45~50 and another in age 70~75.The arithmetic mean of survival month was 16.4 with 95%CI 14.8~18.1 and median month was 6.9.It was no significance between male and female.Patients who had liver operation owned longer survival time,RR=0.315 5(95%CI 0.243 2~ 0.4093).The sutdy showed 5-year survival rate was 40.90%and 3.95%for patients with or without operation,respectively.It had no significant effect on survival time by gender,age and family history.Conclusion The screening test and intervention in high-risk people shall be done preferentially before peak age,so as to find primary liver cancer earlier,and the more patients can accept a suitable surgery care,the more they can obtain longer survival time.

?AlM: To evaluate the long - term effects of laser peripheral iridectomy ( LPl ) and trabeculectomy in treating early chronic angle-closure glaucoma.
?METHODS: Ninety-eight patients (102 eyes) with early chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma were randomly divided into two groups. Group A of 50 patients (54 eyes) was treated with LPl and group B of 48 patients (48 eyes) with trabeculectomy. After 3 - 8y of follow - up observation, comparison would be made from the perspectives of postoperative eyesight, intraocular pressure, anterior chamber angle, visual field and cup/disc ratio ( C/D) .
?RESULTS:ln group A, 24 eyes with eyesight declining, 22 eyes with theintraocular pressure>21mmHg (1mmHg=0. 133kPa), 21 eyes with chamber angle synechia >180o, 21 eyes with visual field narrowed, 21 eyes with C/D ratio enlarged. The results of group B for the same items were 10, 5, 4, 4, 4 eyes respectively. The comparative difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05).
?CONCLUSlON:Good effects will be achieved for early-stage chronic angle - closure glaucoma with surgical method. Trabeculectomy is obviously better than LPl for the long-term effects.

Aim To investigate the influence of iridosides of cornus officinalis(ICO) on morphology, cell cycle and oxidative stress of glomerular mesangial cells(GMC) cultured with advanced glycation end products(AGEs). Methods GMC were incubated in culture medium containing AGEs in the presence of ICO and aminoguanidin for 48 hours. At the same time, the control and model groups were added. Then the cultured GMC were stained by mixed fluorescence liquid and observed under fluorescence microscope. Cell cycle of GMC were analyzed using flowcytometry. The content of MDA, activity of SOD and GSH-Px in GMC supernatant were measured. The level of ROS was detected using flowcytometry. Result Morphology analysis showed that the morphology and structure of normal GMC were normal. The structure of most cells in AGEs were unclear, cell counts increased largely and they grow intensively. Cell cycle analysis showed that cell percentage of S phase increased and G_0/G_1 reduced. The level of ROS, MDA remarkably increased, and SOD, GSH-Px activity reduced. When the ICO were added, cell morphology tended to be basically normal and cell counts decreased, the percentale of S phase also decreased. The level of ROS, MDA and the SOD, GSH-Px activity restored in comparison with the model groups. Conclusion ICO can prevent the cultured GMC from lesion caused by AGEs. ICO may protect GMC from AGES to retard the progression of diabetic nepropathy by partially inhibiting the occurrence of oxidative stress.

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of L-arginine on fetal growth restriction by observing the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in placenta.Methods Sixty patients with FGR were chosen,among which 30 cases who were treated with conventional ways were as convention group,and the other 30 cases who were treated with L-arginine were as L-arginine group.The birth weight and perinatal fetus outcome were detected.The central tissue of placenta got within 10 min after delivery were fixed by 100 g/L formaldehyde and embed by pa-raffin wax to observe the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax using immunohistochemistry.SPSS 11.5 software was used to analyze the data.Results Compared with convention group,the birth weight of L-arginine group was higher(P

Objective To investigate the protective effects of propofol against acute lung injury(ALI) induced by oleic acid.Methods Forty adult male SD rats weighing 250-290 g were anesthetized with intraperitoneal(i.p.)20% urethrane 6 ml?kg~(-1) and tracheostomized.Left common carotid artery and right internal jugular vein were cannulated for BP monitoring and fluid and drug administration.The animals were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=8 each):Ⅰ control group;Ⅱ ALI group in which ALI was induced by oleic acid 250 mg?kg~(-1) i.v.;Ⅲ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ ALI+propofol group in which propofol was continuously infused i.v.at 4, 8 and 16 mg?kg~(-1)?h~(-1) for 4 h immediately after i.v.oleic acid.The animals were killed at 4 h after oleic acid administration.The lungs were immediately removed for(1)examination of ultrastructure of the lung with transmission electron microseope and(2)determination of SOD and MPO activity,content of MDA,level of IL-10 and IL-18 and expression of NF-kB in lung tissue.Results In group Ⅱ intravenous oleic acid produced damage to mitochondria,rough endoplasmic reticulum and osmiophilic multi-lamellar body in type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells. Propofol infusion in group Ⅲ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ attenuated the damage to different degrees.In group Ⅱi.v.oleic acid produced significant decrease in MPO and SOD activity and significant increase in MDA content,IL-10,IL-18 and NF-kB expression in lung tissue.Intravenous propofol infusion attenuated the decrease in MPO and SOD activity, increase in IL-18 expression and MDA content and NF-kB expression in lung tissue produced by i.v.oleic acid, but increased IL-10 expression in lung tissue further.The best protective effect was seen in group Ⅳ.Conclusion Propofol i.v.infusion at 4-16 mg?kg~(-1),h~(-1) can inhibit the oxidative response and inflammatory response and down-regulate NF-kB expression in lung tissue.Propofol infusion at 8 mg?kg~(-1)?h~(-1) provides best protective effects.
