BACKGROUND: Blood-letting puncture on 12-well points of hand is a kind of effective emergent approaches on cerebral apoplexy. It is testified in animal experiment that bleeding on 12-well points of hand can dilate cerebral vessels, enhance blood flow in brain, improve acute anoxic state in ischemic brain tissue and relieve acid toxin due to accumulation of lactate.OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects and mechanism of blood-letting puncture of 12-well points of hand nitric oxide (NO) contents and nitricoxide synthase (NOS) activity after cerebral ischemia in rats.DESIGN: Randomized controlled animal experiment was designed.SETTING: Department of Physiology of Medical Institute of Xianning College.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in Department of Physiology of Medical Institute of Xianning College from March 2003 to February 2004. Totally 84 Wistar rats were employed in the experiment, aged of 2 or 3 months, of either sex, body weighted (230±20) g and provided from Experimental Animal Center of Medical Institute of Xianning College.METHODS: Totally 84 rats were randomized into sham operation group,ischemia group and ischemia + bleeding group, 28 rats in each one. Modified Longa method [3] was applied to prepare the model of embolism of cerebral middle artery in rat. In ischemia + bleeding group, after cerebral ischemia, blood-letting puncture was applied with three-edged needle on Shaoshang (LU11), Shangyang (LI1), Zhongchong (PC9), Guanchong (TE1),Shoochong (HT9) and Shaoze (SI1) in sequence firstly on the left foreleg,and then on the right one, corresponding to the analogy of 12-well points of hand of human. One blood drop was just required. NO content and NOS activity were assayed in 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours and 4 hours of ischemia in brain tissue successively in each group.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: NO content and NOS activity in brain tissue in each group.RESULTS: ① NO content in 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours and 4 hours of ischemia in ischemia group was (116.16±26.63), (118.94±24.47),(115.65±25.29) and (108.87±26.52) μmol/L successively and NOS ac tivity was (507.22±92.52), (502.08±92.52), (510.71±96.63) and (495.29-±88.41) μkat/L, which was higher significantly than the sham operation group (t=2.474-4.731, P < 0.05 or 0.001). ② In ischemia + bleeding group,, NO content was (91.8±11.51), (93.55±13.88), (92.52±11.62) and (84.3±11.51) μmol/L successively and NOS activity was (337.6±88.41),(340.99±96.63), (344.48±84.3) and (337.6±90.46) μkat/L, indicating significant difference in comparison with ischemia group (t=2.199-3.507,P < 0.05-0.01).CONCLUSION: Blood-letting puncture on 12-well points of hand inhibits the increased NO content and NOS activity in ischemic brain tissue and alleviates the injury of free radical to brain tissue so that the focal brain ischemia of rats is protected.

Objective To observe the effects of Jinghua Weikang Capsule on NF-κB p65 expression in gastric mucosa of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infected mice;To discuss its mechanism of action. Methods Totally 44 SPF KM mice were randomly divided into blank group, model group, triple therapy group and Jinghua Weikang group. Except for the blank group, Hp infected model was set up by short term immunosuppression combined with peroral infection. The treatment strategies were triple therapy group with lansoprazole, metronidazole and clarithromycin for 1 week, Jinghua Weikang group with Jinghua Weikang volatile oil for 4 weeks, model group with sterile water for 4 weeks, and blank group free of any treatments. All the subjects were sacrificed in the 4th week after the treatment. NF-κB p65 was detected through real-time PCR and immunohistochemical method. Results The relative quantitative expressions of NF-κB p65 mRNA were 3.27±0.53 in blank group, 2.18±0.50 in control group, 4.19±1.21 in triple therapy group, and 7.70±1.41 in Jinghua Weikang group (χ2=86.303, P<0.001). Compared with model group, the expressions of NF-κB p65 mRNA of other three groups increased statistically differently (P=0.004), and there was also statistical difference between triple therapy and Jinghua Weikang group. Through immunohistochemical tests, the values of NF-κB p65 mean optical density of nucleus were 25.18± 7.42 in blank group, 31.17±2.98 in model group, 30.06±4.69 in triple therapy group, and 26.94±5.19 in Jinghua Weikang group (χ2=10.960, P=0.012). The values of NF-κB p65 mean optical density of cytoplasm had no statistical difference (F=1.922, P=0.134), and the nucleus/cytoplasm values were 0.23±0.06 in blank group, 0.28±0.03 in model group, 0.26±0.04 in triple therapy group, and 0.24±0.04 in Jinghua Weikang group (χ2=14.527, P=0.002). The statistical analysis of the nucleus/cytoplasm values showed significance between blank and model group (P=0.002), while triple therapy group was still equal to model group (P=0.420). Jinghua Weikang group was lower than model group (P=0.022) and equal to blank group (P=0.750). Conclusion Jinghua Weikang Capsule can effectively reduce the expression of NF-κB p65 in protein level in Hp infected mice.
