Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2021;19(1):67-71
Objective: To observe the effect of Anrou-pressing and kneading Hegu (LI 4) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6) on uterine inertia during painless parturition. Methods: A total of 100 cases of patients with uterine inertia during painless parturition were randomized into an acupoint group and a medicine group by the SPSS programming, with 50 cases in each group. Patients in the acupoint group received the treatment of Anrou-pressing and kneading bilateral Hegu (LI 4) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6), while patients in the medicine group received intravenous oxytocin. The labor time and maternal-child safety were evaluated, and the labor stage was compared. Results: The latent and active phases in the 1st labor stage and the 2nd labor stage in the acupoint group were substantially shorter than those in the medicine group, and the between-group comparisons showed statistical significance (all P<0.05). The between-group comparison of the 3rd labor stage showed no statistical significance (P>0.05). The postpartum hemorrhage amount in both groups was within the safe range, and the between-group comparison showed no statistical significance (P>0.05). The newborn 1 min Apgar score was ranged 8-10 points, and the between-group comparison showed no statistical significance (P>0.05). The between-group comparison of the labor stage efficacy showed statistical significance (P<0.01), with a better progression in the acupoint group. Conclusion: Anrou-pressing and kneading Hegu (LI 4) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6) is both effective and safe for uterine inertia during painless parturition.

Objectives To investigate the effect of proliferation and invasiveness by turmeri cvolatile oil on human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y. Methods Cells were incubated with different concentrations of TVO in vitro. Then cell survival rate was measured by MTT assay. The effect of 160 mg/L TVO on cell migration was assessed by cell scuffing test. Invasive ability of cell was detected by Transwell test. Apoptosis of cells was detected observed by flow cytometry assay. Results Survival rate of SH-SY5Y cells decreased and apoptisis rate was abated with elevated TVO concentration and prolonged cultivation time. Level of cell migration was lower than that in control group after being cultured with 160 mg/L TVO solution for 12 , 24 and 48h. With the in-crease of TVO concentration , the invasion ability of cells gradually decreased , and the invasive force and cis-platin had no obvious difference when the concentration of drug reached 160 mg/L. Conclusion The prolifera-tion of cells can be inhibited by inhibiting the proliferation and invasiveness ability with TVO.

OBJECTIVETo explore the diagnostic value of 3D-indirectmagnetic resonance (MR) arthrography in detecting meniscustears of the knees.
METHODSForm January 2013 to January 2014, routine plain MR of the knees followed by the 3D-indirect MR arthrography was performed in 42 patients with suspected meniscal tears clinically. There were 31 males and 11 females, with an average age of 38.4 years old (ranged, 21 to 67 years old). The duration of the course ranged from 2 h to 15 d. The clinical symptom was knee pain. All the patients got subsequently arthroscopic examination or operation. The sensitivity and specificity of routine plain MR and 3D-indirect MR arthrography were compared based on the results of arthroscopic examination or operation.
RESULTSThe signal intensity in the area of meniscal tears on image of 3D-indirect MR arthrography was obviously higher than that of routine plain MR. The sensitivity of 3D-indirect MR arthrography was 85.79% (87/102), while the routine plain MR was 52.94% (54/102), and the specificity improved from 67.78%(61/90) to 86.67%(78/90). The difference was statistically significant (χ2 = 25.90, P < 0.01; χ2 = 9.13, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONIn comparison with the routine plain MR findings, 3D-indirect MR arthrography demonstrates meniscus tears of the knee with the better sensitivity and specificity.

BACKGROUND:Large numbers of experimental data have confirmed that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s have a positive therapeutic effect on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, but there are few reports about intravenous administration of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel conditioned medium in the treatment of stroke.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of the conditioned medium of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s on the recovery of neurological function in rats after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.
METHODS:The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were isolated from rat bone marrow. When cel s at passage 2 or 3 reached 90%confluence, the original culture medium was removed. Then the cel s were cultured in serum-free DMEM for 18 hours. After that, the culture solution was col ected as the conditioned medium of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s. Adult rats were subjected to 2 hours of right middle cerebral artery occlusion. Ischemia-reperfusion injury rats were randomly assigned to three groups:control group, simple culture medium group and conditioned medium group, and respectively given injection of normal saline, DMEM, conditioned medium (10 mL/kg) via the tail vein at 2, 24, 48 hours after operation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was no difference in the behavioral tests among the three groups at postoperative 2 hours (P>0.05). Compared with the control and simple culture medium group, neurological impairment was significantly improved in the conditioned medium group at postoperative 1, 3, 5 days (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the control and simple culture medium groups. At postoperative 5 days, brain edema was significantly eased in the conditioned medium group in comparison to the control and simple culture medium groups (P<0.05), and there was also no difference between the latter two groups (P>0.05). These results suggest that rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s-conditioned medium via intravenous administration can significantly ease brain edema and improve the neurologic function after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.

This paper aims to construct a Bayesian(BN) fault diagnosis model of traditional Chinese medicine dry granulation based on the failure model and effect analysis(FMEA), effectively control risk factors and ensure the quality of granules.Firstly, the risk ana-lysis of dry granulation process was carried out with FMEA, and the selected medium and high risk factors were taken as node variables to establish corresponding BN network with causality.According to the mathematical reasoning method of probability theory, the model was accurately inferred and verified by Netica, and the granule nonconformance was used as the evidence for reversed reasoning to determine the most likely cause of the failure that affected the granule quality.The BN fault diagnosis model of traditional Chinese medicine dry gra-nulation was established based on the medium and high risk factors of process, prescription and equipment screened out by FMEA, such as roller pressure, raw material viscosity, clearance between rollers in the paper.The fault diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine dry granulation process was then carried out according to the model, and the posterior probability of each node under the premise of nonconforming granule quality was obtained.This method could provide strong support for operators to quickly eliminate faults and make decisions, so as to improve the efficiency and accuracy for fault diagnosis and prediction, with innovation in its application.

Objective To investigate the effects of an ar?turmerone derivative(ATD)on the proliferation and apoptosis of A375 human melanoma cells. Methods Both A375 cells and human skin fibroblasts (HSFs) were cultured with different concentrations(5, 10, 20, 40 and 80μmol/L)of ATD, vincristine and ar?turmerone, separately, for 48 hours in vitro. Subsequently, cell counting kit?8 (CCK?8) was used to evaluate cell proliferation, inverted microscopy to observe cell morphology after acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EB) staining, and a colorimetric method to estimate caspase?3 activity. DNA fragmentation assay and flow cytometry were performed to assess cell apoptosis, and flow cytometry was conducted to analyze cell cycle. Results ATD, vincristine and Ar?turmerone all inhibited the proliferation of A375 cells in a dose?dependent manner(ATD:R2=0.99, F=340.96, P<0.05;vincristine:R2=0.99, F=349.19, P<0.05;ar?turmerone:R2=0.89, F=25.41, P<0.05). The fifty percent inhibitory concentra?tions(IC50s)of ATD, vincristine and ar?turmerone against A375 cells were 15.96 ± 0.02μmol/L, 77.00 ± 0.04μmol/L and 356.95 ± 0.01μmol/L respectively. When the drug concentrations were 5 and 10μmol/L, the proliferation of HSFs was inhibited by 8%± 0.06%and 25%± 0.02%respectively by ATD, by 49%± 0.09%and 34%± 0.07%respectively by ar?turmerone, and by 33%± 0.04%and 29%± 0.08%respectively by vincristine, and the proliferation of A375 cells was inhibited by 26%± 0.06%and 39%± 0.02%respectively by ATD, by 6%± 0.09%and 10%± 0.07%respectively by ar?turmerone, and by 8% ± 0.04% and 17% ± 0.08% respectively by vincristine, with the inhibitory effects of the three drugs being significantly different from that of dimethyl sulfoxide(all P<0.05). ATD showed stronger inhibitory effects on the proliferation of A375 cells, but weaker cytotoxic effects on HSFs compared with ar?turmerone and vincristine(all P<0.05). Meanwhile, ATD, vincristine and ar?turmerone all induced the apoptosis of A375 cells(P<0.05), and caspase?3 activity increased with the increase in drug concentrations(ATD:R2=0.98, F=162.30, P<0.05;vincristine:R2=0.96, F=94.39, P<0.05;ar?turmerone:R2=0.95, F=57.35, P<0.05). The effect of ATD on caspase?3 activity was strongest, followed by that of vincristine and ar?turmerone. As flow cytometry showed, all the three drugs induced cell apoptosis to different degrees, and ATD showed a relatively strong effect on cell apoptosis, especially late apoptosis, compared with the other two drugs. In the ATD group, the number of A375 cells in G1 phase gradually increased, while that in G2 phase and S phase significantly decreased with the increase in drug concentrations. Conclusions ATD exhibited proliferation?inhibiting and apoptosis?inducing effects on A375 cells, and the effects were stronger than those of vincristine and ar?turmerone. It is quite possible that ATD affects cell proliferation and differentiation by activating caspase?3 and arresting cell cycle in the G1 phase.
