ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of astragalus injection on the immune function in patients with senile sepsis.Methods Sixty patients with old age sepsis in Critical Care Medicine Department of Guangdong Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital were enrolled and randomly assigned into control and treatment groups according to the table of random numbers, 30 cases in each group. According to 2012 sepsis guidelines for treatment, including antibacterial drug, mechanical ventilation, visceral function support, etc., the therapy was given to the control group; besides the treatment in the control group, intravenous drip of 60 mL astragalus injection(10 mL per ampoule) in 250 mL 0.9% normal saline was additionally given in the treatment group, once a day for 7 days. Before and after treatment, the immunological indexes, acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ) score, sequential organ failure assessment(SOFA) score, duration of mechanical ventilation and time of stay in intensive care unit(ICU), 28-day mortality and adverse drug reactions were compared between the two groups.Results Before treatment, there were no statistically significant differences in CD3+, CD3+CD4+, CD3+CD8+ and T helper cells /T suppressor cells(Th/Ts)levels between the two groups(allP>0.05), while CD3-NK+ of the control group was significantly higher than that in the treatment group〔(10.47±6.22)% vs. (6.26±4.13)%,P<0.05〕. After treatment in treatment group, CD3+, CD3+CD4+ and CD3-NK+ were increased, CD3+CD8+,Th/Ts were decreased compared with those before treatment; in the control group after treatment, CD3+,CD3+CD8+ and CD3-NK+ were decreased and CD3+CD4+ and Th/Ts increased compared with those before treatment. In the comparisons between the treatment group and control group after treatment, the differences in CD3+, CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+ had statistical significance〔CD3+:(30.30±17.17)% vs.(41.91±22.29)%, CD3+CD4+:(31.54±13.24)% vs.(40.08±15.28)%, CD3+CD8+:(14.25±8.10)% vs.(9.52±9.33)%,allP<0.05〕; while the differences in Th/Ts and CD3-NK+ had no statistical significance(bothP>0.05). After treatment in the treatment group, IgG was increased compared with that in the control group〔IgG(g/L): 13.07±5.43 vs. 10.10±3.96,P<
0.05〕. The differences in IgA, IgM, complement(C3,C4) and total serum complement activity(CH50) in the comparisons between the two groups had no statistical significance after treatment(allP>0.05). The differences in APACHEⅡ score(13.83±6.18 vs. 15.90±7.48), SOFA score(7.38±4.66 vs. 6.89±4.19), time of stay in ICU(day: 11.63±5.13 vs. 13.62±8.08), invasive ventilation time(hour: 155.44±119.68 vs. 224.08±174.15) and noninvasive ventilation time(hour: 55.55±42.24 vs. 98.57±43.17) had no statistical significance in comparisons between the treatment group and control group after treatment(allP>0.05). The difference in 28-day mortality had no statistical significance in comparison between the treatment group and control group〔16.7%(5/30) vs. 20.0%(6/30),P>0.05〕. In 60 cases, there were 2 patients with adverse drug reaction, one diarrhea and another little rashes, the rest of the patients did not appear any drug side effect.ConclusionAstragalus injection combined with conventional western medicine therapy possibly has certain effect on adjustment of disturbance of immunologic functions in old patients with sepsis, and its therapeutic safety is well.

BACKGROUND:At present, the main research fields about coronary stents are the whole degradation biological materials with high biocompatibility and drug control ed release systems.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety after the two novel biodegradable stents implanted in coronary arteries in porcine models.
METHODS:The normal ful y biodegradable stents were made up of the poly-L-lactide and the antiproliferative drugs paclitaxel, and the novel biodegradable stents were added in amorphic calcium phosphate at the basis of normal biodegradable stents. (1) Five normal ful y biodegradable stents were randomly implanted into the coronary arteries of five porcines, and five novel biodegradable stents were randomly implanted into the coronary arteries of the remaining five porcines by coronary angiography. The blood biochemistry and C-reactive protein levels were measured pre-operation and at 28 days after operation. Coronary angiography was utilized to observe the lumen unobstructed at 28 days after surgery. (2) Under a microscope, seven normal ful y biodegradable stents and seven novel biodegradable stents were implanted into right external iliac arteries of 14 rabbits. Blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels were measured before surgery and at 28 days after operation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 28 days after operation, there were no significant changes in porcine glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, aspartate aminotransferase, triacylglycerol, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein and C-reactive protein levels compared with that before operation, but urea nitrogen and creatinine levels were significantly higher than that before operation (P<0.05). The result of coronary angiography showed that no in-stent thrombosis or stenosis was detected in either group. There was no significant difference in urea nitrogen and creatinine levels in both groups. These results suggested that it is safe and compatible after the two novel biodegradable stents implanted in coronary arteries of porcine models, and the stents had good histocompatibility.

Objective To investigate the relationship between HbA1c in blood and IL-6 in tear fluid of the elderly patients with diabetic retinopathy ( DR ) in Shijiazhuang urban communities , and the relationship between IL-6 in tear fluid and the severity of DR. Methods The elderly people who lived more than 5 years , older than ≥45 year old. in nine urban communities of Shijiazhuang were stratified randomly sampled and received cross-sectional epidemiology questionnaire survey and OGTT. A total of 1 447 subjects (509 males and 938 females) were included. Each participant underwent epidemiological surveys and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), according to the 1999 WHO diabetes mellitus (DM) diagnostic criteria established. For patients who were newly or previously diagnosed as DM. HbA1c level, tear fluid IL-6 and serum IL-6 tested.The severity of DR was evaluated by fundus examination, the people were divided into normal group(NGT), non-diabetic retinopathy ( NDR ) , non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy ( NPDR ) , and proliferative diabetic retinopathy ( PDR ) . The correlation of serum IL-6 and tear fluid IL-6,blood HbA1c and tear fluid IL-6 were assessed by SPSS 19.0 statistical software. Results Concentrations of tear fluid IL-6 were (3.10 ± 1.25)pg/mL in the NGT group, (10.25 ± 3.22)pg/mL in the NDR group,(16.80 ± 5.76)pg/mL in the NPDR group,(25.11 ± 5.20)pg/mL in the PDR group(P < 0.01). SNK-q test revealed significant differences between every two groups (P < 0.01,P <0.05,P < 0.05) Concentrations of serum IL-6 were (88.04 ± 17.06)pg/mL in the NGT group,(126.38 ± 20.73) pg/mL in the NDR group, (239.83 ± 40.33)pg/mL in the NPDR group, (268.36 ± 27.72)pg/mL in the PDR group(P < 0.01). SNK-q test revealed significant differences between every two groups (P < 0.01). Tear fluid IL-6 level was positively correlated with serum IL-6 level(R = 0.756,P < 0.01). Tear fluid IL-6 level was positively correlated with blood IL-6 level (R = 0.338, P < 0.01). Conclusion The tear fluid IL-6 levels of the elderly patients with DM in Shijiazhuang urban communities , increased; with the increased severity of DR , the levels of tear fluid IL-6 gradually increase. The level of tear fluid IL-6, serum IL-6, HbA1c closely correlates with the severity of DR.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of acupunture at Shenmen (HT 7) and Daling (PC 7) on different cerebral functional regions by Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and discuss the relative specificity of effect of these two acupoints.

METHODSTen healthy right-handed volunteers were enrolled in this research. Under the scan of fMRI with the pattern of "rest-stimulation-rest-stimulation-rest", acupuncture stimulation was given at Shenmen (HT 7) and Daling (PC 7) on the right side, and all the data were analyzed with Matlab software and SPM5 package to observe the activated cerebral regions.

RESULTSThe activated brodmann areas by acupuncture at Shenmen (HT 7) were mainly BA10 BA13, BA47, BA22 on the left side and BA40 BA44 on the right side, while the activated areas by acupunoture at Daling (PC7) were BA46, BA47, BA22 BA10. BA45 on the left side and BA44 BA9, BA6. BA40 on the right side.

CONCLUSIONThe activated cerebral functional regions of acupuncture stimulation at Shenmen (HT 7) and Daling (PC 7) are not exactly the same, which indicates that the acupuncture effects of the two acupoints are specific. With the same activated areas of language and cognitive function, the Shenmen (HT 7) specializes in emotion control while the Daling (PC 7) could active the autonomic nerve function area.
