OBJECTIVE: To observe the influence of repeated shallow fire-needle acupuncture stimulation plus cupping on local neuralgia and serum substance P(SP)content in patients with acute herpes zoster (AHZ). METHODS: A total of 60 cases of AHZ patients were randomly divided into control (medication) group and treatment (medication plus fire-needle) group (n＝30 in each). Patients of both groups were ordered to take Famciclovir (0.25 g/time, three times a day) and Mecobalamin (0.5 g/time, three times a day) orally for 7 days. In addition, patients of the treatment group were also treated by repeated shallow fire-needle stimulation and cupping, once a day for 7 days. Before and after the treatment, the patient's pain severity was assessed using visual analogue scale (VAS) and serum SP concentration was measured using ELISA. RESULTS: After the treatment, the VAS scores and serum SP concentrations in both groups were significantly decreased in comparison with those of their own pre-treatment (P<0.01), and were significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group(P<0.01). There was a highly positive correlation between the decreased VAS score and serum SP content in the treatment group(P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Repeated shallow fire-needle stimulation plus cupping can accelerate the relief of local neuralgia in AHZ patients, which may be associated with its effect in down-regulating serum SP level.

AIM:To investigate the effects of high concentration of glucose on the expressions of serum and glucocorticoid induced protein kinase 1 (SGK1) and fibronectin in human podocytes and detect the production of fibronectin in human podocytes transfected with active and mutant forms of SGK1.METHODS: The expressions of SGK1 and fibronectin in human podocytes exposed in high glucose for 24 h were detected by using Western blotting. Human podocytes were transfected with three kinds of plasmid: pIRES2-EGFP-SGK1SD (SGK1-active plasmid), pIRES2-EGFP-SGK1KN (SGK1-mutant plasmid) and pIRES2-EGFP (empty vector plasmide). The synthesis levels of fibronectin were detected by immunofluorescence.RESULTS: The expression of SGK1 in normal human podocytes was observed and the expression level was up-regulated in podocytes exposed to high glucose for 24 h (50?4 vs 35?3), parallelly with the high expression of fibronectin (19?4 vs 12?2). The secretion of fibronectin was increased obviously in SGK1-active plasmid (SGK1SD) transfected podocytes compared with the vector transfected podocytes. Whereas, the fibronectin level was decreased significantly but not completely abolished in SGK1-mutant plasmid (SGK1KN) transfected podocytes, compared with SGK1SD transfected podocytes. CONCLUSION: SGK1 may be involved in the synthesis of fibronectin in human podocytes induced by high glucose and play a critical role in the activation of human podocytes during early stage of diabetic nephropathy.

Objective:To optimize the formulation of HA-CA liposomes and to study the anti-tumor effect of HA-CA liposomes on uterine cervical carcinoma mice.Methods:The methods of preparing HA-CA liposomes were screened,and the optimal fomulation was selected by the orthogonal design experiment with the the phospholipids/cholesterol ratio,the drug/lipids ratio and the pH value of PBS buffer was 7.4 as entrapment enfficiency was the index.The release of HA-CA liposomes was studyed by dialysis bag method.Uterine cervical carcinoma cells were inoculated subcutaneously into right axillary ofBal b/c mice,after continuous treatment of 14 d,we weighed the tumor and calculated the rate of tumor growth inhibition.Results:HA-CA liposomes were prepared by thin film hydration methods.The optimal parameters were as follows:the phospholipids/cholesterol ratio was 4∶1,the drug/lipids ratio was 1∶ 30,the pH value of PBS buffer was 7.4.The release curve of HA-CA liposome and CA liposome was basically the same,both of which a sustained-release efficacy.The cumulative release of HA-CA liposomes and CA liposomes were 78.39％ and 83.01％ at 48h.The inhibition rate of HA-CA liposomes on U14 cervical cancer mice was 60.39％ and significantly higher than that of positive control group,which was higher than that of CA and CA liposomes.Conclusions:HA-CA liposomes can significantly inhibit the effect of U14 cervical cancer nude mice higher than that of CA and CA liposomes owe to the modification of the active target ligand HA.

Objective To explore the role of Kupffer cells in high fat diet induced hepatic insulin resistance. Meth-ods Eighty-four C57BL/6J mice were divided into two groups: normal chow (NC) group (7 subgroups) and high fat diet (HFD) group (7 subgroups). Glucose tolerance tests were performed at feeding time of 1,2,4,8,12 and 16 weeks in one NC group and one HFD group. The mice livers at the same feeding time were obtained in other 6 NC groups and 6 HFD groups respectively. The expression levels of IRS1-ser307, Akt-ser473, S6K1-thr389 and p-JNK were detected by Western blot as-say. The values of MCP-1,TNF-α,IL-1βand IL-10 mRNA were examined by qRT-PCR. Results Compared with NC group, the impaired glucose tolerance was found from the first week in HFD group (P ＜ 0.05). The hepatic expressions of IRS1-ser307, S6K1-thr389 (4-16 weeks ) and p-JNK(2-16 weeks ) increased and Akt-ser473(8-16 weeks )decreased in HFD group than those of NC group. The same results were gained by analysis of protein relative expression (all P＜0.05). The hepatic pro-inflammatory factor MCP-1,TNF-αand IL-1βmRNA expressions were higher in HFD group than those in NC group during 2-16 weeks (all P ＜ 0.01). The anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 mRNA was significantly lower in HFD group than that in NC group during 4-16 weeks (all P＜0.01). Conclusion High fat diet maybe play a role in the hepatic insulin resistance by stimulating M1 Kupffer cells to secrete pro-inflammatory factor and inhibiting M2 Kupffer cells to se-crete anti-inflammatory factor.
