BACKGROUND: Researches indicate that inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS) plays an important role in relieving destruction of blood brain barrier and protecting vascular endothelium and brain tissue in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of Shuigou (DU26), Neiguan (PC6)and Zusanli (ST36) on the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase messenger ribonucleic acid (iNOS mRNA) in hippocampus of the rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.DESIGN: Randomized controlled study.SETTING: Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shanghai Institute of Acupuncture and Meridian and Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University.METHODS: The experiment was completed at the Experimental Animal Center in Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Threegrade Acupuncture Immunological Laboratory of Shanghai Research Institute of Acupuncture and Meridian and Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from December 2003 to December 2004. Totally 40 SD rats were randomly divided as normal group, sham operation group, model group and electroacupuncture group with 10 in each group. The hypertension model rats were induced with bi-kidney-bi-clip method, then the focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rat model was induced by reversible occlusion for a middle cerebral artery with a thread on the stroke prone renovascular hypertensive model rat. While the rats in sham operation group were operated without thread insertion. Shuigou (Du 26), bilateral Neiguan(PC 6) and bilateral Housanli (Zusanli, ST 36) were located according to"Atlas of Experimental Animal Acupoints" made by Hua's. Shuigou (Du26): 1 mm below nasal apex right on the Labium leporinum, be punctured 1 mm obliquely upward; Neiguan (PC 6): at the lateral palm of the forearm3 mm above wrist joint, between ulna and radius, be punctured 1 mm perpendicularly; Housanli (Zusanli, ST 36): under knee joint, 5 mm below the capitulum of fibula, be punctured 7 mm perpendicularly. The skin of Shuigou (Du 26) and the root of right ear, Neiguan (PC 6) and Housanli (Zusanli, ST 36) were connected with electroacupuncture Therapeutic Instrument G6805 with the parameters of continuous wave, 120 times/minute in frequency, 1 mA in intensity for 30 minutes. The treatment was applied once immediately after ischemia operation and again 12 hours after reperfusion. Being killed on 24 hours after reperfusion, the hippocampus of the rats were rapidly picked out. The effect of electroacupuncture on the expression of iNOS mRNA in hippocampus of the rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion was detected with fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (FQ-RT-PCR).MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The expression of iNOS mRNA in hippocampus.RESULTS: All 40 SD rats entered the final analysis. Expression of iNOS mRNA in hippocampus: [1] That in model group was significant higher than that in electroacupuncture group {[(4.85±1.29) ×1 000, (3.19±1.38) ×1 000] copy, (t=2.77, P < 0.05)}; [2] That in model group was significant higher than that in sham operation group {[(4.85±1.29) ×1 000, (4.93±2.17)×10] copy, (t=97.38, P < 0.01)}; [3] That in model group was significant higher than that in normal group {[(4.85±1.29) ×1 000, (3.13±1.68) ×10]copy, (t=11.81, P < 0.01)}.CONCLUSION: Electroacupuncture may significantly inhibit the expression of iNOS mRNA in hippocampus and reduce the synthesis of NO to relieve the cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.

OBJECTIVETo observe the therapeutic effect and relevant mechanism of shuxuening Injection (SI) in treating patients with active ulcerative colitis (UC).
METHODSTotally 91 patients with active UC were randomly assigned to 2 groups, 44 in the control group and 47 in the treatment group. Patients in the control group received routine treatment, while patients in the treatment group additionally received intravenous injection of SI (15 mL), twice daily for 14 days in total. Colonoscopy was performed before and after treatment. The therapeutic effect was assessed by Mayo scoring system and the grading of activities evaluated by Baron endoscope. Serum levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were detected by ELISA. The activity of SOD was detected by xanthine oxidase method. The content of MDA was detected by thiobarbituricacid (TBA). Besides, 20 healthy subjects were recruited as the healthy control group.
RESULTSTotally 82 patients completed the study (40 in the control group and 42 in the treatment group). There was no statistical difference in serum levels of IL-6, TNF-α, SOD, MDA, the Mayo score and endoscope grading between the two groups before treatment (P >0. 05). Compared with the healthy control group, serum levels of IL-6, TNF-α, MDA significantly increased (P <0.01), and the serum SOD level decreased (P < 0. 05) in the treatment grup and the control group before treatment. Compared with before treatment in the same group, serum levels of IL-6, TNF-α, MDA, the Mayo score and endoscope grading all decreased in the treatment group and the control group after treatment (P <0. 01, P <0. 05). Compared with the control group after treatment, serum levels of IL-6, TNF-α, MDA, the Mayo score and endoscope grading all decreased (P <0.01, P <0.05), the serum SOD level increased (P <0.05) in the treatment group after treatment. The serum SOD level was obviously negative correlated with serum levels of IL-6, TNF-a, Mayo score, and endoscope score (r = -0. 621, -0.638, -0. 509, -0.787, P <0.01). The serum MDA level was obviously positive correlated with serum levels of IL-6, TNF-α, Mayo score, and endoscope score (r =0.711, 0. 882, 0. 525, 0. 639, P <0.01).
CONCLUSIONSI could improve inflammatory injury and clinical symptoms of patients with active UC, and its mechanism might be associated with antioxidant and scavenging oxygen free radicals.

Objective: To compare the efficacy difference between moxibustion at sensitized-acupoints and non-sensitized- acupoints using the same group of acupoints. Methods: A total of 139 patients with chronic superficial gastritis were divided into a sensitized acupoint group (102 cases) and a non-sensitized acupoint group (37 cases) based on whether acupoint sensitization occurred. The SPSS version 19.0 statistical software propensity score matching function was used to balance the baseline data between the groups. Finally, 29 pairs of matched patients were included, namely 29 cases in the sensitized acupoint group and 29 cases in the non-sensitized acupoint group. Both groups were treated with moxibustion therapy. The treatment lasted for 30 min per time, and was performed every other day for 8 weeks. Changes in the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom score and the short-form 36-item health survey (SF-36) score in both groups were observed before and after treatment, as well as the clinical efficacy. Results: The covariates of age, course of disease, TCM symptom score and SF-36 score in the two groups were balanced after matching (all P>0.05). After treatment, the total effective rate was 100.0% in the sensitized acupoint group and 79.3% in the non-sensitized acupoint group. The difference in the total effective rate between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.01). After treatment and at the 4-week follow-up, the TCM symptom scores in the sensitized acupoint group were significantly lower than those in the non-sensitized acupoint group (all P<0.01); the SF-36 scores in the sensitized acupoint group were significantly higher than those in the non-sensitized acupoint group (all P<0.01). Conclusion: With the same group of acupoints, the sensitized acupoints have a better therapeutic effect and long-term efficacy than the non-sensitized acupoints in the treatment of chronic superficial gastritis.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) is an important molecular marker in traditional Chinese medicine research, and it is widely used in TCM authentication. The present study created a new genotyping method by combining restriction endonuclease digesting with melting curve analysis, which is a stable, rapid and easy doing SNP genotyping method. The new method analyzed SNP genotyping of two chloroplast SNP which was located in or out of the endonuclease recognition site, the results showed that when attaching a 14 bp GC-clamp (cggcgggagggcgg) to 5' end of the primer and selecting suited endonuclease to digest the amplification products, the melting curve of Lonicera japonica and Atractylodes macrocephala were all of double peaks and the adulterants Shan-yin-hua and A. lancea were of single peaks. The results indicated that the method had good stability and reproducibility for identifying authentic medicines from its adulterants. It is a potential SNP genotyping method and named restriction endonuclease digest - melting curve analysis.

The in vitro release behavior, in vivo biodistribution and antitumor activity of N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymer-5-fluorouracil conjugates (P-FU) were studied. The in vitro release behavior was evaluated by determining the amount of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) released from P-FU in mice plasma at 37 degrees C. The in vivo biodistribution and therapeutic evaluation were investigated with Kunming mice bearing hepatoma 22 (H22). The in vitro half-life (t1/2) of P-FU in mice plasma was 32.4 h. It appeared that the circulation life time of the conjugates were 166 times longer than that of 5-FU. The AUC and t1/2 of P-FU in tumor were 3.3 times and 2.3 times more than those of 5-FU, respectively. Therapeutic evaluation also demonstrated that the treatment with P-FU displayed stronger inhibition of the tumor growth when compared with that of 5-FU (P < 0.05). HPMA copolymer is a potential carrier for 5-FU for effective treatment of cancer.
