OBJECTIVETo explore the effects and action mechanism of electroacupuncture (EA) on Parkinson's disease (PD).
METHODSForty-eight healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into a normal group, a sham operation group, a model group and an EA group, 12 rats in each one. Rats in the model group and EA group were treated with subcutaneous injection of rotenone (1mg/kg, dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide and 0. 9 % normal saline) on neck and back for 40 days to establish rat model. Rats in the sham operation group were treated with injection of identical dose of dimethyl sulfoxide and 0. 9 %o normal saline at identical location which did not contain rotenone. After model establishment, rats in the EA group were treated with EA at "Fengfu" (GV 16) and "Taichong" (LR 3) with continuous wave (2 Hz, 1 mA), which was given 20 min per time, once a day for consecutive 28 days. Rats in the remaining groups were treated with fixation and immobilization without any other intervention. The rats behavioristics changes were observed and scored; immunohisto-chemistry was adopted to test the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH); fluorescence spectrometry was used to detect the activities of 20 S β1, β2, β5; western blot method was applied to measure the expression of 20S proteasome and its a subunit.
RESULTSCompared with the normal group and sham operation group, there was significant change of behavioristics in the model group, and TH positive neuron counting was obviously reduced; after treatment, the behavioristics score in the EA group was lower than that in the model group (P<0. 05), and TH positive neuron counting was significantly increased (P<0. 05). Compared with the normal group and sham operation group, the activities of 20 S β1, β2, β5 in model group were significantly reduced (all P<0. 01), and those in the EA group were higher than those in the model group (P<0. 01). Compared with the normal group and sham operation group, the expression of 20S proteasome and its a subunit was reduced in the model group, and that in the EA group was higher than that in the model group (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSIONEA could improve the loss of dopaminergic neurons induced by rotenone to prevent and treat PD, which is likely to be related with protecting the activity and expression of proteasomes in substantia nigra.

Objective To investigate the correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of gene interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) rs1004819, rs1495965, rs1884444, rs2201841,rs6677188, rs7517847, rs7530511, rs10489629, rs10889677 and rs11209026 with susceptibility of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Han population of Jiangsu province in China. Methods The gene polymorphism in 134 healthy volunteers, 135 cases of ulcerative colitis(UC) and 43 cases of Crohn's disease(CD) were detected with SNaPshot. Experimental data were analyzed with SPSS 17.0 software. Results In UC, genotype frequency of CC and CT on rs7530511 was 99.26% (134/135)and 0.74%(1/135), allele frequency of C and T was 99.63%(269/270)and 0. 37%(1/270). While in normal controls, which were 94.03%(126/134), 5.97%(8/134), 97.01 %(260/268)and 2.99%(8/268)respectively. Compared genotype frequency of these two group, P value was 0. 040 (OR=0.118、95%CI:0.014~0.953). Compared allele frequency of these two group, P value was 0. 043 (OR=0.121、95%CI:0.015~0.973). In wild type and mutation type UC patients, the age distribution was different, more young patients in mutation type while more middle-aged patients in wild type, P value was 0.032 and 0.001 respectively. Most UC patients of rs6677188 AT type were in remission under endoscope (P=0.032). Conclusion The mutation of IL-23R rs7530511 may be a protective factor of UC. The polymorphism of rs6677188 was associated with the age of patients and the remission under endoscope.

Objective To comprehensively evaluate the clinical and radiological features of patients with Klebsiella pneumonia liver abscess (KLA) in order to improve treatment. Methods Data of 197 patients with KLA (n=106) or non-KLA (n=56) between March 2001 and January 2009 were collected and retrospectively analyzed on the aspects of underlying diseases, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, pathogenic and imaging examinations. Results In comparison with non-KLA patients, the underlying diseases such as diabetes (53. 77% vs 25.00%, P = 0. 001) and hepatic adipose infiltration (16. 04% vs 5, 36%, P<0.05) were more common in KLA patients.Whereas the clinical presentations including abdominal pain (57. 14% vs 40. 57%, P<0. 05),hypodynamia (46.43% vs 19.81%, P=0. 001) and hepatomegaly (14.29% vs 4.72%, P<0. 05)were more severe in non-KLA patients than in KLA patients, however, the fasting blood glucose was higher in KLA patients than in non-KLA patients [(7.84±0.36) mmol/L vs (5.76±0.30) mmol/L,P=0. 001] on the admission. In addition, the abscess of KLA often appeared alone in the right lobe of the liver and was liable to generate air cavity (32. 88% vs 13.51%, P<0.05), un-smooth rim (71.23% vs 40.54% ,P<0.05) and dynamic septum enhancement (41.10% vs 16.22% ,P<0.01) in comparison with non-KLA. Conclusions Klebsiella pneumonia has emerged as the main pathogen of pyogenic liver abscess. The patients with KLA are often complicated with diabetes and fatty liver, as well as high prevalence of air cavity. The CT findings may be helpful for prompt treatment of Klebsiella pneumonia liver abscess.
