Objective To investigate the effect of hand twelve Jing-Well points bloodletting on blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability in the early stage of focal cerebral ischemic injury in rats with permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO). Method Male Wister rats were randomized into sham operation, model and bloodletting groups. A model of middle cerebral artery occlusion was made by Longa's method. 2%Evans blue (EB) was injected into the caudal vein at three time points:5, 24 and 72 hrs after model making. EB exudation amount was assessed by measurement of EB absorbance in brain tissue to observe BBB permeability. Result Cerebral EB exudation amount was significantly higher in the model group of rats than in the sham operation group (P<0.01) and significantly lower in the bloodletting group than in the model group (P<0.01). Conclusion Hand twelve Jing-Well points bloodletting can reduce blood-brain barrier permeability in pMCAO rats. Its effect is highly significant at 24 and 72 hrs after ischemia.

Objective To observe the subarachnoid space the epidural space joint block labor analgesia (CSEA) changes of T lymphocyte subsets.Methods 100 cases of full-term mothers were randomly divided into two groups,analgesia group and the control group.The analgesic group row CSEA childbirth analgesia.Two groups of maternal cervix large 2 to 3cm (T1),when the baby was delivered (T2),24h (T3),blood was colleoted after childbirth,detected by radioimmunoassay of cortisol.Flow cytometry assay was wsed to test T lymphocyte subsets CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+,And the birth process,Apgar score,Labor pain visual analogue score (VAS) were recoroded.Results (1) Active phase of the first stage of childbirth analgesia group was significantly shorter than the control group (t =2.182,P < 0.05).The second and third stage of Childbirth and neonatal Apgar score difference between the two groups was not statistically significant.(2)Serum cortisol concentration at T2 analgesia group was significantly lower that of than the control group (P < 0.05).(3) The two groups in maternal blood of CD3+,CD4+,CD4+ / CD8+ were reduced to varying degrees,T3 was reduced significantly (P < 0.05),Analgesia group was significantly lower than that of the control group (all P < 0.05).Conclusion CSEA analgesia in Childbirth can shorten the first stage of Childbirth active period,has no significant effect on the Apgar score,can alleviate the pain and stress reactions such as the suppression of the maternal immune function.

Objective To investigate the calcium mechanism involved in the A? 25-35-induced neurotoxicity.Methods PC12 cells viability was detected by using MTT assay. Relative change of intracellular calcium concentration was measured by laser confocal microscope.Results MTT assay showed that the cell viability of the three groups (10 ?mol/L A? 25-35?10 ?mol/L A? 25-35+5 ?mol/L nifedipine?10 ?mol/L A? 25-35+10 ?mol/L nifedipine) was decreased by 34.5%, 25.1% and 11.0%,as compared with the control group. 10 ?mol/L nifedipine could protect PC12 cells from A? 25-35-induced damage. A? 25-35 of different concentration (0.1 ?mol/L, 1 ?mol/L, 10 ?mol/L, 20 ?mol/L and 30 ?mol/L) resulted in the elevation of intracellular calcium (about 6.38%, 6.42%, 62.2%, 69.3% and 107.5%) with a dose-dependent manner. Potassium (5 mmol/L, 15 mmol/L and 30 mmol/L) could increase the intracellular calcium after one minute pretreatment of different concentration A? 25-35. Both above mentioned actions were sensitive to the medium calcium and were antagonized by nifedipine, a L-voltage-gated calcium channel antagonist.Conclusion Soluble A? 25-35 may damage the neuronal calcium homeostasis in early stage and make neurons more vulnerable to physiological or pathological stimuli.

Objective To observe the effect on body distribution tendency of paclitaxel liposome in the lung cancer rats after acupuncture of Feishu,Taiyuan acupoints in order to develop the new path for the target study of anticancer drugs.Method The paclitaxel liposome was labeled by technetium(Tc).Four methods including tail intravenous injection of paclitaxel liposome merely and the combination of tail intravenous injection of paclitaxel liposome with acupuncture of Feishu,Taiyuan(concerned acupoint) and Shenmen(unconcerned acupoint) acupoints respectively were carried on the intervention to the lung cancer rat models(18 in each group).The rats were sentenced to death at 60,90,120 minutes(6 at each time point) respectively after drug injection,and the drug content of paclitaxel liposome in the lung,liver,kidney organs were measureed by the ?-radiate immunity counting implement respectively.Result Acupuncturing at Feishu and Taiyuan can lead to the drug content increment of paclitaxel liposome in the lung organization of the lung cancer rats in all or parts of time points.On the contrary,acupuncturing at Shenmen can not.Conclusion Acupuncturing Feishu and Taiyuan can make tropism effect on the disposition of paclitaxel liposome in vivo in lung cancer rats.Feishu is stronger than Taiyuan on the drug tropism of the lung.

Objective To study the efficacy of entacapone for motor fluctuations in Parkinson's disease. Methods Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Database were searched for randomized controlled trial studies (RCTs) on entacapone compared to placebo in the treatment of Parkinson' s disease with motor fluctuations. Data were extracted and evaluated by two reviewers independently with designed extractian form. Revman 4. 2. 10 software was used for data analysis. Results Ten RCTs involving 2212 patients were included. The Results showed that entaeapone tends to increase "on" time, decrease "off" time and daily levodopa dosage (WMD=-1.41,95% CI -2. 09- -0.72) and improve "on" time motor symptoms and the quality of life. But it might increase the rate of dyskinesia (OR=2.00, 95% CI 1.55-2.58).Conclusion The systematic review indicates that entaeapone might be an effective agent for parkinsonian patients with motor fluctuations and more high quality RCTs with the same effect measures are required.

Objective To study ocular motor function in patients with Parkinson disease.Methods Videonystagmography(VNG)was used for testing ocular saccade and smooth pursuit eye movement(SPEM)in 14 patients with idiopathic Parkinson disease and 10 age and sex-matched control subjects to compare the latency of saccades,the accuracy of saeeades and SPEMGain between two groups. Results The latency of saceades was found to be much more increased in PD group (291.23±46.25)ms than that in healthy group(244.45±23.11)ms(P<0.05);and the accuracy of saccades was found to be decreased in PD group(87.98±6.1 6)as compared to that in healthy group (95.21±8.56)(P<0.05).PD group was found to have more decreased SPEM gain(0.81±0.12)than that in healthy group(0.90±0.1 5)(P<0.05). Conclusions The findings suggest that ocular motor function is abnormal in Parkinson disease patients.

Objective To systemically evaluate the therapeutic effect of pramipexole in treating Parkinson's disease. Methods Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Database were used to search for randomized control trials (RCTs) on Parkinson's disease treated with pramipexole. Meticulous data wre extracted and meta-analysis was performed according to a preset protocol. Results Ten RCTs involving 1738 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that pramipexole decreased the total scores of unified Parkinson's disease rating scale [UPDRS, WMD=-10.01,95%CI (-12.76,-7.26)],UPDRS part [WMD=-2.44,95%CI(-2.93,-1.95)],and UPDRS partⅢ[WMD=-6.61,95%CI(-8.38,-4.84)]. Pramipexole also reduced the score of UPDRS part Ⅳ[WMD=-0.73,95%CI(-1.16,-0.30)] in advanced patients(P<0.05=.Three studies referred to the effect of pramipexole in treating parkinsonian tremor. However there was a clinical heterogeneity among the studies, and two of them revealed a significant difference. Conclusions Pramipexole might improve motor symptoms and the quality of life in advanced patients, as well as improve tremor, which needs more RCTs to be confirmed.
