Prednisolone-induced zebrafish osteoporosis model was used to explore the bone-strengthening effect of Jie-Gu-Tang (JGT). Zebrafish larvae of 5 days post fertilization (d.p.f.) were co-exposed with 25 μmol·L-1 pred-nisolone and a series of JGT solutions with a range of concentrations (0.025, 0.25, 2.5, 25 and 100 mg crude herb per liter). The 25 μmol·L-1 prednisolone was selected as the model group. Etidronate disodium (15 and 30 mg·mL-1) with 25 μmol·L-1 prednisolone was used as the positive group. And 0.5% DMSO was used as the vehicle control group. All groups were incubated in 24-well plates (28.5℃) until 10 d.p.f. Zebrafish skeleton at 10 d.p.f. was anes-thetized and fixed for staining with alizarin red. Quantitative analysis of the stained area was performed by microscop-ic inspection and digital imaging methods to reflect the amount of zebrafish head skeleton mineralization. The results showed that prednisolone group at 25 μmol·L-1 concentration can obviously decrease the staining area and the stain-ing optical density values when compared with the vehicle control group (0.5% DMSO). Compared with the model group, both etidronate disodium (15 and 30 mg·mL-1) and JGT (2.5, 25 and 100 mg crude herb per liter) can in-crease the mineralized matrix and integrated optical density (IOD) of zebrafish head skeleton significantly with dose-effect relationship. It was concluded that zebrafish osteoporosis model was successfully used in the evaluation on bone loss prevention and bone formation promotion of JGT, which provided basis for the reliability and reasonability of zebrafish model.

Objective To preliminarily reveal the neurovascular effect of electroacupuncture and adrenomedullin (ADM) in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.Methods Rat changes after middle cerebral artery ischemia and reperfusion, and the effect of electroacupuncture and ADM on them were investigated using the neurological deficit score, somatosensory evoked potentials and TTC staining technique.Results Electroacupuncture and ADM can significantly improve the neurological deficit score after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the two (P>0.05). The P1-N1 and N1-P2 peak values of somatosensory evoked potentials decreased significantly at 30 min after ischemia (P<0.05), recovered somewhat at 60 minutes and decreased significantly again during reperfusion (P<0.05). Electroacupuncture or ADM during reperfusion could significantly improved somatosensory evoked potentials at the end of experiment (P<0.05). Electroacupuncture and ADM could significantly reduce the size of cerebral ischemia-induced infarct (P<0.05), but there was no significant differencebetween the two (P>0.05).Conclusions Electroacupuncture can reduce neurological impairment and improve brain blood supply after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion. That is similar to the neurovascular effect of ADM.

Objective To investigate the changes of pathogens distribution and antimicrobial resistance in children with urinary tract infection (UTI) in 10 years. Methods The results of urine culture and drug sensitivity in children with UTI from January 2001 to December 2003, and from January 2011 to December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Results In recent 10 years, there was no obvious change in the ratio of gram-negative bacteria to gram-positive bacteria. Escherichia coli was still the main bacteria causing UTI in children. The detection rate of enterococcus was signiifcantly increased from 18.3%in 2011-2013 to 7.5%in 2001-2003 (P<0.05) and it had become the second pathogenic bacteria. The isolation rate of ESBLs producing strains was signiifcantly higher in 2011-2013 than in 2001-2003 (P<0.05). The rate of Escherichia coli sensitive to imipenem re-mained at 100%and it is also sensitive to enzyme inhibitors antibiotics and nitrofuranto. Sensitivities to antibiotics were changed in different species of enterococcus. Conclusions The distribution of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance in children with UTI are constantly changing. The clinician should pay close attention to changes of epidemiology in the region and hospital and rational use of antimicrobial drugs.

As a component of traditional Chinese medical therapies, the therapeutic effects of acupuncture for some nervous system diseases have been proven by a large number of clinical and experimental studies. But, the electrophysiological techniques of the commonly used EEG and evoked potentials are still not sufficient to reveal the functional mechanism of acupuncture therapy. The recording technique of microelectrode array (MEA), a kind of electrophysiological technique originated from the overseas biological electrical signal monitoring technique, can be used to record multiple electrical signals of the nervous cells in vivo or in vitro, and maintain the accuracy and stability of the recorded information at the same time, which greatly enriches the means of electrophysiological study. This technique has been already applied in the basic study and clinical treatment abroad, but it is very seldom used in the study of acupuncture field. In order to guide the application of MEA in the research field of acupuncture science, a general survey about the application of MEA technique in vivo was done, and the present situation and prospects of the application of the technique in acupuncture science was briefly analyzed.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of dopamine D1 receptor (D1R) tool drugs and combined acupuncture and medicine on striatal expressions of D1R and dopamine transporters (DAT) in middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)-reperfusion rats.MethodForty-seven male SD rats were randomly grouped, used to make a model and given corresponding interventions. The materials were taken and fixed six hrs later. Striatal D1R and DAT expressions were detectedby an immunohistochemical method in different groups.ResultThe neurological deficit score was significantly higher in the model group than in the blank group. Electroacupuncture treatment decreased the score significantly (P<0.05). D1R expression was significantly down-regulated in the antagonist, electroacupuncture and electroacupuncture plus antagonist groups compared with the model group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in D1R expression between the model group and the antagonist or electroacupuncture plus antagonist group (P>0.05). DAT expression was significantly down-regulated in the other groups compared with the model group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in D1R expression between all groups except the model group (P>0.05).ConclusionCerebral ischemia-reperfusion can result in high D1R and DAT expressions in rat striatum on the ischemic side. Electroacupuncture, D1R antagonists and a combination of the two can significantly down-regulate D1R expression and have a protective effect on the brain. The effects of electroacupuncture and D1R antagonists can not be added to each other. D1R signaling pathway may be one of ways by which electroacupuncture produces a protective effecton the brain.

Objective To observe the effect of deglycerolized red blood cells suspended in MAP on preservation and ex-plore the most effective preservation method.Methods Concentrated red blood cells were prepared by centrifuging 400 mL of whole blood on the third day after collection.40%compound glycerol solution was added using the ACP 215 automatic blood cell analyzer,and the resulting mixture was stored in an ultra-low temperature refrigerator at-65℃for 30 days.After thawing and washing,it was equally separated into two bags.The control group received 0.9%sodium chloride solution,while the experimental group received MAP.Both groups were stored at 2-6℃.Hematological parameters,hemolysis inde-xes and cell metabolism indexes were measured on day 0,1,3,5,7 and 14 after storage.The quality changes of both groups were observed during the 14-day storage period.Results The quality of red blood cells in both groups was assessed through a panel of quality tests,including volume,hemoglobin content,free hemoglobin content,white blood cell residue,glycerin residue and sterility.These results met the Quality Requirements outlined in the"Quality Requirements of Whole Blood and Component Blood"(GB18469-2012),Hematocrit,red blood cell count,Hb recovery rate after washing and MCV meet the detection limit outlined in the"Expert Consensus on Quality Evaluation Indicators for Frozen Red Blood Cells",and the residual amount of platelets exceeds the detection limit(≤1%).There were no significant differences in RBC,Hct,MCV and hemoglobin between the two groups during the 14 day storage period.The level of free hemoglobin,hemolysis rate and K+value increased in both groups over time.Significant differences in free hemoglobin were found on day 3,5,7 and 14 between the two groups(P<0.05).Hemolysis rate was significantly different on days 3,5,7 and 14,while K+value was significantly different only on day 14(P<0.05).On day 14,the osmotic fragility of red blood cells was higher in the control group than in the experimental group(P<0.05);The ATP and pH values of both groups decreased as storage time in-creased,and significant differences in ATP and pH value were found on day 3,5,7 and on day 1,3,5,7 and 14,respec-tively(P<0.05).Conclusion Deglycerolized red blood cells suspended in MAP additive solution can extend the storage period of blood to 7 days.This study provides a reference for the formulation of relevant standards.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical effect of L-ornithine L-aspartate (LOLA) granules in treating chronic liver disease in patients with high-level serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (G-GT) using a 24-week treatment course.

METHODSTwo-hundred patients with chronic liver disease and above normal G-GT were given a 12-week course of LOLA granules (9 g/d) and then classified into the following three groups according to the change in serum Gamma-GT:group I:patients with Gamma-GT level returned to normal;group II:patients with serum Gamma-GT level that was reduced during the treatment; group III:patients with serum Gamma-GT level that did not decrease or that increased to a higher level than at start of treatment.After the 12-week treatment course, the patients in group I were divided into three subgroups for receipt of a control drug (compound glycyrrhizin, 50mg/d) or an additional 12-week course of Gamma-GT at a reduced dose (LOLA granules 3 g/d) or at the original dose; groups II and III were maintained on the initial dose for an additional 12 weeks.The groups were reassessed at the end of the second 12-week course (at the end of week 24 of the study's observation period).Count data were compared using the x2 test and measurement data were compared using the t-test.

RESULTSIn group I, the serum Gamma-GT level was 90.9% at the end of the first 12-week course and dropped to a mean level of 52.2% for both of the subgroups that received the reduced and original dose after the additional 12 weeks of LOLA granules treatment; the difference from week 12 to week 24 was significant (x2=8.213, P less than 0.05).The 24-week change in serum Gamma-GT levels for the group I reduced and original dose subgroups vs.the control subgroup were also significantly different from those seen in groups II and III (P less than 0.05).The percentage of patients in group I who achieved normal level serum Gamma-GT after 24 weeks of treatment (78.6%) was significantly higher than that for the control group (vs.55.0%, x2=11.452, P less than 0.05).When the patients in group 1 who had received the 12 additional weeks of LOLA granules treatment were measured again at two weeks after the treatments had been discontinued (end of week 26), the percentage of patients with normal serum Gamma-GT level was 92.7%, with only three cases showing obviously abnormal levels; in contrast, the group I patients in the control group of the second 12-week study period had on 66.7% of patients with normal-level serum Gamma-GT.The difference in change between the treated groups (both reduced and original dose) and the control group was significant (x2=14.964, P less than 0.05).

CONCLUSIONPatients whose serumGamma-GT levels returned to normal after receipt of LOLA granules for 12 weeks benefitted from an additional 12 weeks of consolidation treatment, and those given the treatment at the original dose benefitted most.Compared with the compound glycyrrhizin, LOLA granules provided a better maintenance of resolved Gamma-GT level.Therefore, the effect of LOLA appears to be reliable and stable as well as safe for clinical use.

Objective To observe the dynamic changes of serum CA19-9 level before and after the treatment of high-dose and low-fractionated Tomotherapy combined with chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer,and explore the corresponding prognostic,predictive and therapeutic effects.Methods The clinical characteristics and the survival of 75 patients with pancreatic cancer treated in the Department of Radiotherapy of Air Force General Hospital were analyzed retrospectively from December 2012 to June 2017.The effects of baseline CA19-9 and CA19-9 level at 4-6 weeks after the radiotherapy on patient prognosis were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test retrospectively.Results The median survival time (MST) was 13.8 months (2.0-58.0 months).The baseline serum CA19-9 was 1109 U/ml(4.70-70000 U/ml).The MST in the ＜ 1109 U/ml group and ≥ 1109 U/ml group were 14.0 months (95％ CI:10.04-22.96 months) and 9.0 months(95％ CI:7.75-13.25 months) respectively (x2 =6.31,P ＜0.05).The corresponding median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 7.0 months(95％ CI:5.58-8.42 months) and 5.0 months(95 ％ CI:3.81-6.20 months) respectively (x2 =8.51,P ＜ 0.05).The median CA19-9 level at 4-6 weeks after radiotherapy was 397.7 U/ml (11.02-43 250 U/ml).A total of 38 cases (38/49,77.6％) declined,and 11 cases (11/49,22.4％) increased.The MST of the declined and increased groups were 14.0 months(95％ CI:7.24-20.77 months) and 8.0 months(95％ CI:2.69-13.31 months) respectively (x2 =11.19,P ＜0.05).The corresponding mPFS were 5.5 months(95 ％ CI:4.05-6.95 months) and 4.0 months (95 ％ CI:1.98-6.02 months) respectively (x2 =9.12,P ＜ 0.05).The ROC curve determined that the cut-off for the decline of serum CA19-9 was 60.9％ at 4 to 6 weeks after radiotherapy.The MST of ≥ 60.9％ group and ＜ 60.9％ group were 33.5 months (95％ CI:0.24-66.76 months)and 9.0 months(95％ CI:6.92-11.08 months)respectively (x2 =13.80,P＜0.05).The corresponding mPFSwere 11.0 months(95％ CI:3.44-18.56 months)and 5.0 months(95％ CI:3.91-6.09 months)respectively (x2 =8.71,P＜0.05).Conclusions Patients with the baseline serum CA19-9 ＜ 1109 U/ml had a better outcome after hypofraction tomotherapy combined with chemotherapy.The decline of serum CA19-9 at 4-6 weeks after radiotherapy can serve as a prompt and effective predictor of the outcome and the progression of patients.The decline of serum CA19-9 ≥60.9％ in patients with pancreatic cancer is associated with a low possibility of disease progression in half a year,whose overall survival is better.
