Objective To explore the molecule mechanisms of ping-gan qianyang therapy on migraine rat model with the hyperactivity of liver-yang.Methods An animal model of migraine with hyperactivity of liver-yang was established through electrical trigeminal ganglion stimulation and administering orally with Fuzi decoction.The total proteins of adrenal#and in the rats were separated by immobilized PH gradient-based two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, and the 2-DE images Was analyzed by PDQuest 7.0 software.Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Time Of Flight Mass Spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS)and SWISS-PORT and MSDB database were used to identify differential proteins.Result The well-resolution and reproducible 2-DE patterns of rat adrenal glands in normal group,model group and therapy group were obtained.A total of 8 differentially expressed proteins were identified.Conclusion Ping-gan qianyang therapy may effect on migraine by regulating the expression of proteins related to energy metabolism and ubiquitin.

Objective:To obtain recombinant Profilin of silkworm,identify its immunogenicity,predict its B cell epitopes and construct the evolutionary trees. Methods: The nucleotide sequence of Profilin was acquired from NCBI,synthesized it and cloned it into pET-28 vector. Then,the recombinant plasimids were transformed to E. coli BL21. After induced by IPTG,recombinant protein was purified by Affinity chromatography. Furtherly,its allergenicity was identified by Western blot,the potential B cell epitopes was analyzed through DNAStar and build the evolutionary trees by MEGA5. 05. Results: The recombinant protein of Profilin was successfully expressed and purified by affinity chromatography. Besides,the protein contains a high IgE-binding activity with IgE existing in serum of patients allergic to silkworm. Conclusion: The recombinant proflilin has IgE-binding activity, and it is meaningful for fundamental research and specific diagnosis studies of allergic diseases caused by silkworm.

Objective:To observe the therapeutic effect of Governor Vessel-unblocking and yang-regulating acupuncture plus chiropractic treatment on upper cervical spondylosis. Methods:A total of 64 eligible cases were randomly allocated into an observation group (n=32) and a control group (n=32) according to the random digital table. Cases in the observation group were treated with Governor Vessel-unblocking and Yang-regulating needling method, fine adjustment of the upper cervical spine and lumbosacral Ban-pulling manipulation; cases in the control group were treated with routine acupuncture and same spinal adjustment as the observation group. The treatment was done once a day in both groups. The therapeutic efficacies were observed after 10 times of treatment. Results:The total effective rate was 78.1% in the observation group and 67.5% in the control group. The difference in the total effective rate between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion:Governor Vessel-unblocking and yang-regulating acupuncture and regulate yang plus chiropractic therapy is better than routine acupuncture plus chiropractic therapy in the therapeutic effect in the treatment of upper cervical spondylosis.

Objective To study the effect of astrocyte on synapse formation and the molecular mechanism. Methods Cortical astrocytes were isolated and purified from neonatal rats.On the 2h,7th day,14th day and 21th day after passage,we counted the number of astrocytes and the culture medium(astrocyte-conditioned medium,ACM)was harvested to measure the concentration of estrogen(E 2)by using ELISA techniques.Based on the model of pure culures of neonatal cortical neurons,the experimental groups were designed as follows:1.pure neuron cultures(group N);2.ACM cultures(group A);3.mixed cultures(group M);4.E 2 cultures(group E 2);5.ACM+Tamoxifen(estrogen receptor antagonist)cultures(group A+T);6.Tamoxifen cultures(group T).Then synaptic puncta in every group was stained and counted through immunofluorescence,and we also compared the differences in puncta number among those six groups(at 9th day in culture,number/per neuron). Results The numbers of astrocytes were:1?10 4/ml, 1.1?10 6/ml, 1.4?10 6/ml, 1.5?10 6/ml; The concentrations of E 2 were:(ng/L):0, 117?22, 266?22,252?27 respectively.No estrogen was detected in the primary culture medium.The concenteration of estrogen increased in correspondence with the culturing days and reached the peak around at the 14th day, then decreased gradually but kept at a certain high level,and the numbers of synaptic puncta of per neuron in group N,A,M,E 2,A+T,T were:14?3;79?5;83?8;80?6;32?3;29?3 respectively.The treatment of pure neuron culture with ACM increased the number of synapses on per neuron by up to 6 fold by comparison with pure neuronal culture.Exogenic estradiol added into pure neurons can mimick the effect of the ACM.Tamoxifen which is antagonist of estrogen receptor could decrease the effect of ACM by 75%.Conclusion The astrocytes of neonatal rat cortex do secrete E 2.Astrocyte-derived estrogen may be the molecule regulating the synaptic formation through estrogen receptors.

Purpose To analyze the correlation of right subclavian artery ultrasound and individual blood lipid level with coronary atherosclerosis (CA) using carotid ultrasound as control so as to explore the clinical value of them in predicting CA.Materials and Methods Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) and right subclavian artery/neck vessel ultrasound in 55 patients were retrospectively analyzed.Gensini score was used to calculate the degree of coronary artery lesions.According to the result of CCTA,patients were divided into normal group,mild coronary atherosclerosis group,severe coronary artery stenosis group.The intina-media thickness (IMT) at the origin of right subclavian artery and carotid artery bifurcation on ultrasound was measured to evaluate carotid lesions.The correlation between the IMT and Gensini score of coronary artery was analyzed.The blood lipid levels of the 3 groups were analyzed,and the efficacy of right subclavian artery,carotid artery ultrasound and blood lipid in predicting CA was evaluated.Results ① The IMT at right subclavian artery and carotid artery bifurcation were positively correlated with Gensini score,and the former had higher correlation than the latter (r=0.636,r=0.462,P<0.01);the prediction efficacy of the IMT at right subclavian artery was slightly higher than that at carotid artery bifurcation (with sensitivity and specificity of 78.3%,64.5%,and 77.5%,60.0% respectively).② Compared with normal control group,the levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,triglycerides,total cholesterol were higher,but the level of highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was lower in mild coronary atherosclerosis and severe coronary artery stenosis group,and the difference between the severe coronary artery stenosis group and normal groups was bigger,among which the level of triglycerides had the largest difference among the three groups with no statistical significance (P>0.05).The HDL-C had a more significant correlation with Gensini score than other index of blood lipid (r=-0.151).③ The combination of IMT and HDL-C had a sensitivity of 81.0% and specificity of 66.7% in predicting CA,which were higher than that of each individual index (with sensitivity of 78.3%,64.5% and specificity of 64.3%,55.5%respectively).Conclusion The IMT at right subclavian artery has a better predictive value in determining the degree of coronary artery lesions than that at carotid artery bifurcation.The combined application of blood lipid levels and the IMT at right subclavian artery can improve the sensitivity and specificity of predicting CA.

Objective To explore the methods and curative effect of metallic self-expanding stent in inoperable malignant gas-troduodenal obstruction. Methods The data of 15 cases with gastroduodenal obstruction including 9 cases of carcinoma of head of pancreas and 6 cases of carcinoma of stomach were analyzed retrospectively. The operative procedures of the stent implanted and the tors accepted more radiation dose because the manipulation was under the fluoroscopy in a short distance and with a full field of view. sions, the postoperative eating habit and the development turnover of disease. The main death reasons were tumor transfer and sys-tem exhaustion. Conclusion To pay close attention to the details and main points of operative procedure is the key point to implant stent successfully for malignant gastroduodenal obstruction. The determinative factor to influence the curative effect is the develop-ment turnover of tumor.
