Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2022;29(10):1597-1600
Condyloma acuminatum is a sexually transmitted disease caused by human papillomavirus infection. In recent years, the incidence of anal canal condyloma acuminatum is gradually increasing, which seriously affects the physical and mental health of patients. At present, various treatment options are available for condyloma acuminatum. There is no method to completely eradicate condyloma acuminatum. 5-Aminolevulinic acid-mediated photodynamic therapy is a novel approach that uses photosensitizers and light to treat condyloma acuminatum and has been widely used in the clinic. This paper reviews the underlying action mechanism of 5-aminolevulinic acid-mediated photodynamic therapy and the clinical research progress of 5-aminolevulinic acid-mediated photodynamic therapy for the treatment of anal canal condyloma acuminatum.

Objective To investigate the effect of combining electroacupuncture with nerve mobilization to improve lower extremity motor function after sciatic nerve injury. And to document any changes in mRNA and protein expression of Ras-related C3 botoxin substrate 1. Methods 180 New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into a normal control group, a model control group, an electroacupuncture group, a nerve mobilization group, and an elec-troacupuncture combined with nerve mobilization group, each of 36. Sciatic nerve injury was modelled using the clam-ping method in all except the normal control group. The control group had no intervention, while the nerve mobiliza-tion group, the electroacupuncture group and the combined group were treated with nerve mobilization, and/or elec-troacupuncture applied to the rabbit analogue of the jiaji acupoint. After 1, 2, and 4 weeks of treatment, toe reflex scores and modified Tarlov scores were used to assess any functional recovery. After 1, 2, and 4 weeks of treatment, 12 of the rabbits in each group were sacrificed and the sciatic nerve and the L4-L6 segments of the spinal cord were re-sected. The expression of Ras-related C3 botoxin substrate 1 mRNA and protein was detected using the polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. Results Sciatic nerve function and the expression of Ras-related C3 botoxin sub-strate 1 mRNA in the spinal cords and sciatic nerves of the three treatment groups were significantly higher than in the model control group at all three time points, but significantly lower than in the normal control group. The combined group′s results were significantly better than with electroacupuncture or nerve mobilization alone. After 1, 2, and 4 weeks of treatment, the average expression of Ras-related C3 botoxin substrate 1 protein in the spinal cords of the three treatment groups was significantly higher than the model control group′s average, but significantly lower than that of the normal control group at the same time point. After 1 week of treatment the average expression of Ras-related C3 botoxin substrate 1 protein in the spinal cords of the combined group was significantly higher than that in the group receiving electroacupuncture alone. After 2 and 4 weeks it was also significantly higher than the nerve mobilization group′s aver-age. After 1 week of treatment, the average expression of Ras-related C3 botoxin substrate 1 protein in the sciatic nerves of all three treatment groups was significantly lower than that of the control group. However, 1 and 3 weeks later the av-erage protein expression in the sciatic nerves was significantly higher than in the model control group, but significantly lower than in the normal control group at the same time points. The combined group′s average was then significantly higher than those of the groups receiving electroacupuncture or nerve mobilization alone at the same time point. Conclusion Nerve stimulation combined with electroacupuncture applied to the jiaji acupoint can promote the regener-ation of axons after sciatic nerve injury. The mechanism may be related to up-regulation of the Ras-related C3 botoxin substrate 1 gene and protein expression in the injured sciatic nerve and corresponding spinal cord segments.

Objective To investigate the use of hepatoprotective drugs in China in recent years, and to put forward related suggestions. Methods The outpatient prescription data of hepatoprotective drugs were collected from 85 hospitals in 6 cities of China from 2015 to 2019, and a real-world data analysis was performed to analyze the payment method, issuing department, drug category, and use of hepatoprotective drugs. Results A total of 1 113 575 prescriptions were extracted, involving 38 hepatoprotective drugs such as compound glycyrrhizin, polyene phosphatidylcholine, and bicyclol. Hepatoprotective drugs were mainly in tertiary hospitals, and the highest number of prescriptions containing hepatoprotective drugs were observed in department of infectious diseases, department of gastroenterology, and department of tuberculosis. Anti-inflammatory hepatoprotective drugs accounted for the highest proportion of all prescriptions, mainly compound glycyrrhizin, polyene phosphatidylcholine, and bicyclol. Of all prescriptions, 253 429 (22.76%) had the combination of multiple hepatoprotective drugs, with the highest number of 6 drugs, among which polyene phosphatidylcholine combined with bicyclol accounted for the highest proportion. Conclusion There are large quantities of hepatoprotective drugs used by outpatients in China. At present, the hepatoprotective drugs are clinically applied rationally, but there are still some problems to be solved, such as the combination of drugs.
