Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2004;2(3):24-25
Selected mainly were acupoints in the adjacent areas and along the meridians, assisted by ashi points. Fengmen (BL 12), Geshu (BL 17) and Xuehai (SP 10) were selected for migratory arthralgia;Shenshu (BL 23) and Guanyuan (CV 4) for cold-aggravated arthralgia; Pishu (BL 20), Zusanli (ST 36)and Yinlingquan (SP 9) for damp arthralgia; Dazhui (GV 14) and Quchi (LI 11) for heat-induced arthralgia. Acupuncture in combination with far infra-red radiation was performed.76 patients with rheumatoid arthritis were treated and 74 cases with herb therapy as control. The result showed that there was statistically significant difference in curative effect between the 2 groups, χ 2=10.18, P< 0.01, indicating that the curative effect was significantly better in the treatment group than in the control group. Statistics showed that there was no significant difference in curative effect among the 4 syndromic types, namely migratory arthralgia, cold-aggravated arthralgia, damp-induced arthralgia and heat-induced arthralgia. But there was a statistically significant difference in curative effect between the above 4 syndromic types and deficiency-type arthralgia, indicating that the curative effect in deficiency-type arthralgia was worst.

7.Clinical features and risk factors of cytomegalovirus infection in AIDS patients
Chinese Journal of Clinical Infectious Diseases 2017;10(1):26-30
Objective To investigate the clinical features and risk factors of cytomegalovirus (CMV)infection in AIDS patients.Methods A total of 471 AIDS patients,including 173 with CMV infection and 298 without CMV infection were enrolled from Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from June 2015 to August 2016.Multivariate Logistic regression was performed to analyze the risk factors for AIDS patients infected with CMV.Results Among 173 patients co-infected with CMV,103 (59.54%)were diagnosed as CMV viremia,70(40.46%)were CMV end-organ diseases (EOD),in which CMV pneumonia (n =33)and CMV retinitis (n =22)were the most frequent diseases.Univariate analysis showed that sexual transmission,low CD4 +T lymphocyte counts,first visit,tuberculosis,pneumococcal pneumonia (PCP), long hospital stay and septicemia were risk factors of cytomegalovirus infection among patients with AIDS (P <0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that CD4 +T lymphocyte <50 cells/μL (OR =3.897,95%CI 2.354-6.453),concomitant tuberculosis(OR =4.619,95%CI 2.501 -8.529),PCP (OR =4.062,95%CI 2.345-7.038),sepsis (OR =2.553,95%CI 1 .098-5.936)were independent risk factors for CMV infection,while antiretroviral therapy (OR =0.559,95%CI 0.342-0.912)was a protective factor.Conclusions Hospitalized AIDS patients have a high incidence of CMV infection which has a tendency to induce multiple organ damage,and relevant risk factors should be avoid to accentuate disease as much as possible.

10.Anti-apoptosis effect of liraglutide on islet via regulating microRNA-375
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2016;32(9):1627-1634
AIM: To observe the anti-apoptosis effect of liraglutide on the islet through microRNA-375 (miR-375) for providing additional pharmacodynamic evidence for its clinical application.METHODS: For in vivo study, C57BL/KsJ-db/m mice aged 8 weeks served as normal control group.A total of 40 male genetically diabetic C57BL/KsJ-db/db mice at the same age were randomly divided into diabetic control group (the db/db mice were injected subcutaneous-ly with equivalent amount of saline) and liraglutide group (the db/db mice were injected subcutaneously with liraglutide at dose of 300 μg? kg-1? d-1 ).After 8 weeks of administration, body weight (BW) was measured and blood was collected for detection of fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting blood insulin (FINS), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).Before sacrifice, intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT) and insulin tolerance test (ITT) were conducted.The histopathological features in the islet tissue were examined with HE staining.The apoptosis in the islet tissue was detected by TUNEL staining.The protein levels of caspase-3, Bcl-2 and Bax were deter-mined by Western blot.The level of miR-375 in the islet tissue was detected by qPCR.For in vitro study, the MIN-6 cells were cultured and divided into control group (incubated with equivalent amount of solvent), miR-375 mimic group and miR-375 mimic +liraglutide group.The cell viability was examined by MTT assay.The protein levels of caspase-3, Bcl-2
and Bax were detected by Western blot.RESULTS: In the in vivo study, compared with control group, the levels of BW, FBG, FINS, TC, TG and LDL-C were decreased significantly in liraglutide group.The islet apoptosis was reduced by the administration of liraglutide.The expression of Bcl-2 was up-regulated significantly, while the protein levels of caspase-3 and Bax were down-regulated significantly in liraglutide group.The level of miR-375 was decreased significantly.In the in vitro study, the cell viability was decreased in miR-375 mimic group and increased in miR-375 mimic +liraglutide group. Moreover, the expression of Bcl-2 was decreased and the protein levels of caspase-3 and Bax were increased with the incu-bation of miR-375 mimic, while the expression of Bcl-2 was increased and the protein levels of caspase-3 and Bax were de-creased with the co-incubation of miR-375 mimic and liraglutide.CONCLUSION: Liraglutide attenuates islet apotosis, and the mechanism may be associated with its effects of reducing the elevated level of miR-375 in islet tissues.
