Objective To. investigate the effect of electroacupuncture at acupoint Zusanli (ST36) on the liver injury during the early stage after bum in rats. Methods Forty adult male SD rats weighing 220-250 g were randomly divided into 5 groups ( n = 8 each) : group sham operation (group Ⅰ ) ; group burn (group Ⅱ ) ; group acupoint at Zusanli (ST36) (group Ⅲ ); group non-acupoint stimulation (group Ⅳ ) and group ST36 + alphabungarotoxin (alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist) (group Ⅴ ). Rats were subjected to 3rd degree burn covering 30% of the total body surface area. Rats were resuscitated with lactataed Ringer's solution according to Parkland formula (4 ml/kg per 1% body surface area) immediately after burn. Bilateral acupoints Zusanli were stimulated with constant voltage (3 V, 3 Hz,2ms) for 20 min 3 times a day for 2 days starting immediately after resuscitation in H and V groups. In group V alpha-bungarotoxin 1.0 μg/kg was administered iv immediately after fluid resuscitation before acupuncture. In group Ⅳ same electric stimulation was performed at a point 0.5 cm lateral to Zusanli. The animals were sacrificed at 48 h after burn. The content and expression of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) protein in liver were measured. Liver specimens were obtained for microscopic examination (with light and electronic microscope). Results Compared with group Ⅰ , hepatic HMGB1 protein level significantly increased in Ⅱ and Ⅳ groups. There were significant ultrastructural changes in the liver in burn rats in group Ⅱ and group Ⅳ. Electric stimulation of ST36 significantly attenuated the histologic changes in the liver and decreased the hepatic HMGB1 protein level in group Ⅲ . Pretreatment with specific alpha.7 nicotinie acetylcholine receptor antagonist alpha-bungarotoxin reversed the beneficial effect of electroacupuncture at Zusanli. Conclusion Electric stimulation of acupoint ST36 can ameliorate liver injury during the early stage of burn by activating alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-mediated pathways for anti-inflammation.

Objective To establish an early cognitive disorder model in rats and investigate the early cognitive functioning after ischemic hypoxic brain injury during the neonatal period. Methods Forty-six newborn Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into a 21-d-old group and a 31-d-old group. These 2 groups were then subdivided into model and sham-operated subgroups (M21, n=12; SH21, n=11; M31, n=12; SH31, n=11). A model of neonatal early cognitive disorder was established in the rats of the M21 and M31 groups using a modification of Rice's method. Rats in the SH21 and SH31 groups received skin incisions and common carotid artery separation without ligation or hypoxia. Each group was tested with a Morris water maze. The rats were sacrificed after testing, and brain tissue was examined under the electron microscope. Nissl staining allowed Nissl body quantification and neurocyte acin the M21 group was significantly longer than in the SH21 group. The 31-d-old subgroups had shorter average escaping latencies than the corresponding 21-d-old subgroups. (b) Spatial memory: The average platform times, Ⅰ region times and Ⅰ region distances showed no significant differences among groups. ②Brain pathology (a) Gross appearance: Obvious ischemic hemisphere atrophy was observed in the M group, and no abnormality was observed in the SH group. (b) Electron microscopic observation: In the SH group cell ultrastructures in the ischemic hippocampus were normal. Karyopyknosis and dilated endoplasmic reticulums were found in the M group. More mitochondria were found in the presynaptic membranes of the ischemic hippocampus in the M group than that in the SH group. (c) Nissl body quantification and neurocyte activity analysis: Significantly less activity in the ischemic cortex was found in the M21 group compared to the SH21 group. More activity was observed in the 31-d-old subgroups than in the corresponding 21-d-old subgroups. Conclusions ①The neonatal rats with ischemic hypoxic brain injury had prolonged average escaping latency and depressed neuronal activity. ②The 31-d-old rats had better spatial localization learning ability than the 21-d-old rats.

Objective The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the changes in the ovarian reverse after myomectomy based on serum anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) levels. Methods This is a prospective longitudinal observational study. Serum AMH levels were measured at the baseline and 2 day , 3months after myomectomy in 35 women aging from 36 to 45years.Follicle stimulate hormone(FSH) and luteal hormone(LH) were measured at the same time. 35 women of the same age with fibroid who did not undergo operation were selected as control group. Result (1)AMH level is (1.54 ± 0.95)ng/mL,(1.18 ± 0.77)ng/mL,(1.50 ± 0.58 )ng/mL at 0 day, 2 days and 3 months after operation. AMH level decreased significantly at 2 days after operation (P < 0.05) and increased gradually 3 months after operation, but showed no significant change (P > 0.05).(2) Significant differences in the serial change of AMH levels existed at each time point between myomectomy group and control group (P <0.05). No significant differences in FSH or LH levels existed at each time point. Conclusion AMH is may be superior to FSH or LH in evaluating the changing of ovarian reverse. The study suggests that myomectomy affect the ovarian function for up to 3 months post-operatively , and hemorrhage during and after operation may decrease serum AMH levels.
