Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2009;15(10):942-944
Objective To study and observe the intervention effects of Acupuncture on spinal cord injury rats by using factorial design. The best combination rules of the best time course and electrical stimulation site were explored.Methods 96 experimental spinal cord injury rats were randomly divided into four groups: acupuncture on head intervention group (group A), acupuncture on body intervention group (group B), complex intervention group (group A+B) and nonintervention group (group D) . There were 24 rats in each group. The rats received electrical stimulation according experimental design. The motor function of the rats' hind limbs were detected at different time sites(1 w, 2 w, 4 w, 8 w and 12 w).Results The Results among different Methods of electrical stimulation are significantly different. The levels of the rat's BBB scale, and evoked potential(MEP) in the group A+B were the best among four groups (P<0.05). The BBB scale and evoked potential(MEP)of the rats in each group are significantly different at different time sites (P<0.05). It means that each kind of electrical stimulation plays a positive role in promoting restoration of motor function. The correct analysis for factorial design data is helpful to the fully application of information.Conclusion Factorial design can be used in research projects of Acupuncture, especially the design for multiple factors and multiple levels.

Objective To investigate the remineralizing therapy of deep caries and in vitro biomimetic remineralization of demineralized dentin by phosphorylated chitosan/amorphous calcium phosphate compound (P-chi/ACP) and tripolyphosphate (TPP). Methods Thirty-two extracted human molars were cut and completely demineralized. Two samples were used to show the characteristics by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The other 30 samples were divided into two groups:fifteen samples were treated by P-chi/ACP and TPP (P-chi/ACP+TPP group), the other fifteen samples were not treated by TPP (P-chi/ACP group). All of the samples were distinguished into experimental side and control side, and then they were set on the in vitro model for 1 week. Micro-computed tomography (μCT) and TEM were used to assess the effects of remineralization. Results μCT detection revealed that the mineral density were higher in the experimental sides (125.42±12.16 and 119.39±8.64) than that of control sides (96.96±10.56 and 105.27±9.42) in both groups (P<0.01). TEM figures showed that hierarchical intrafibrillar remineralization was realized in samples of P-chi/ACP+TPP group, while trace amounts of hierarchical remineralization was detected in P-chi/ACP group. Conclusion Fully demineralized dentin appears to have the potential to be remineralized with the application of P-chi/ACP. The ultrastructure of samples is better in P-chi/ACP+TPP group than that of P-chi/ACP group.

This article was aimed to research the processing methods of Mongolian Meng-Gen-Wu-Su. Ancient and modern literatures which are related to the processing methods of Meng-Gen-Wu-Su were reviewed, summa-rized and sorted . The results showed that the traditional Mongolian Me ng-G e n-W u-Su processing method began in the eighteenth century in the book of Bi Y ong Y ao Ji Zhu Pin . The processing methods of all previous dynas-ties can be classified into three steps, which are descaling, detoxicating and specific drug processing. The pro-cessing methods contain soft, heat, cold, even, obvious, fierce, slow, white, black, speed and hard method. Among these 11 kinds of processing methods from all previous dynasties, some of them use the same processing name but the processing method are different; and some of them use different processing name but the processing methods are the same. Hence, there are 7 kinds of processing methods according to the processing content. Among them, the sulfur processing of Me ng-G e n-W u-Su is widely applied . This processing method is still used today and it can be divided into two kinds, which are the heat process and cold process. This method was originated from the fierce processing and even processing method in the book of Gan Lu Si Bu. And steps of descaling and detoxicat-ing in the processing are ignored. Other processing methods have rarely been used or not used at all. It was con-cluded that the sulfur processing method of Mongolian Me ng-G e n-W u-Su is still used until now .

Objective To detect the independently designed synthetic peptide adsorbed to the titanium surface and its inhibitory effect on streptococcus gordonii, and to provide a new means for antibiosis reseach on oral implants. Methods The physical and chemical properties of the synthetic peptide and antimicrobial peptide were measured by ExPASy Prot?Param tool, ProtScale analysis, circular dichroism and Zeta potential instrument. The synthetic peptide was anchored on the surface of the titanium specimen through incubation at room temperature. The adsorption of the synthetic peptide to the titani?um surface was examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and the atomic force microscope (AFM). The inhibitory effect on streptococcus gordonii of the synthetic peptide fixed on the titanium surface was viewed by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The destructive effects of the synthetic peptide and the antimicrobial peptide on streptococcus gordonii were observed through the transmission electron microscope (TEM). Results The independently designed synthetic peptide still had the physical and chemical properties that the antimicrobial peptide desired. The synthetic peptide had already been detected on the titanium surface after incubated in a 5 g/L synthetic peptide solution. The titanium specimen fixed with the synthetic peptide inhibited the survival and adhesion of streptococcus gordonii. Conclusion It suggests that the indepen?dently designed synthetic peptide might have reached the goal of bacterial inhibition on the titanium surface.
