Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2017;36(6):702-704
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of deep electroacupuncture at Baliao points intreating chronic pelvic inflammatory disease (CPID) due to damp-heat stagnation.Method Sixty-four patients with CPID due to damp-heat stagnation were randomized into two groups, 32 cases in the deep-electroacupuncture group and 32 cases in ordinary-electroacupuncture group, 10 d as a treatment course, and the therapeutic efficacy was evaluated after 2 treatment courses. The pre-treatment and post-treatment body sign scores and the change of the scores in the two groups were compared.Result The total effective rates were respectively 93.8% and 75.0% in the deep-electroacupuncture group and ordinary-electroacupuncture group, and the improvement of body sign score in the deep-electroacupuncture group was statistically more significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Deep electroacupuncture at Baliao points can produce a significant efficacy in treating CPID due to damp-heat stagnation.
2.Research progress on lung cancer caused by welding fumes
China Occupational Medicine 2022;49(2):222-227
Welding fumes exposure increased the risk of lung cancer. The factors that cause lung cancer included:welding fume
of chromium,nickel and their compounds,smoking and asbestos dust,welding types and welding materials. The results of
animal experiments showed that the metal compounds in welding fumes could be deposited in lung tissue and caused persistent
mild inflammation which led to increase lung tumor in animal models. Chromium,nickel,iron compounds could cause tumor
separately. The use of tumor initiator pretreatment led to increase the number of lung tumor with statistical significance. The
mechanisms of lung cancer development include chronic inflammation that caused by continuous deposition of carcinogenic
metal oxides such as chromium and nickel in the lung. Free radicals peroxidation causes DNA damage,which acts on tumor
related
genes and causes their abnormal expression and generates lung tumor cells. Activating telomerase activity may promote
normal cells transform into immortalized tumor cells. By activating nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor-2 and nuclear factor
Kappa B signaling,welding fumes cause inflammation,DNA damage and formation of lung tumor cells. Welding fumes also
intervenes immune modulatory system and leads to tumor cell formation.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effects of dietary,exercise intervention combined with Rou-ganjiangzhi capsule on non -alcoholic fatty liver disease.Methods A randomized,double -blinded and placebo drug parallel controlled method was used in this study.Sixty patients were enrolled into the study and randomly assigned into treatment group and control group.The patients of treatment group were taken with Rouganjiangzhi capsule combined behavior intervention.The patients of control group were taken with placebo drug combined behavior inter-vention.Each patient were accepted 12 weeks of the therapy.After treatment,the clinical symptoms,liver function, blood lipids,indicators of changes in imaging were detected,and the results of each group statistically were analyzed. Results After 12 weeks treatment,five patients were rejected,and the clinical symptoms,body mass index (BMI), waist -hip ratio were markedly improved in each group:[(1.02 ±1.08)points,(26.29 ±2.54),(0.92 ±0.04), (0.81 ±0.95),(26.58 ±3.11)and (0.91 ±0.04)]compared with[(3.62 ±0.96)points,(27.63 ±2.50),(0.94 ± 0.03),(3.60 ±0.95),(28.22 ±3.14),(0.95 ±0.03)(t =4.74,2.64,0.82,4.62,3.61,0.84,all P <0.05)]. After the treatment,the liver function (ALT,GGT)and cholesterol (TC)of treatment group decreased significantly than that before treatment:[(75.28 ±25.19)IU /L,(48.41 ±38.42)IU /L,(3.02 ±0.85)IU /L],compared with [(127.46 ±52.42)IU /L,(48.41 ±38.42)IU /L,(4.63 ±0.69)IU /L (t =2.54,2.18,2.42,all P <0.05)],while the liver function (ALT,AST,GGT)and blood lipids(TC,TG)of control group had no significantly decreased.The liver and spleen CT ratio raised apparently in treatment group than control group (0.86 ±0.24),(0.71 ±0.20)(t =0.83, P <0.05).Conclusion Rouganjiangzhi capsule achieve the good therapeutic effect on non -alcoholic fatty liver.

China Oncology 2017;27(8):655-660
Background and purpose: Paget's disease (PD) of the breast is a rare disease. The survival of PD was reported to be related to the characteristics of the underlying carcinoma. This study aimed to investigate the char-acteristics and survival of PD patients with underlying invasive breast carcinoma (IBC). Methods: Fifty-four patients diagnosed with PD and an associated IBC in Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from 2002 to 2007 were re-cruited in this study as study group. Since most PD overexpress HER-2, 72 patients with HER-2-overexpressing breast cancer were randomly recruited as control group. This study compared survival between these two groups. Results:Twenty-five (46.3%) patients in study group had no clinical manifestation of PD and were diagnosed unexpectedly by a histologic examination. Thirty-five (64.8%) patients in study group had tumors larger than 2 cm, twenty-six(48.1%) patients in study group had chance of axillary lymph node involvement. Compared with control group, patients in study group tended to have more events (5-year relapse-free survival: 76.4% vs 48.5%, P<0.01). In the control group, most events occurred in the first 3 years after operation, while recurrence might happen all along in the 5 years after opera-tion in study group. Patients in study group also had a poorer overall survival than in control group (61.0% vs 80.6%, P=0.01). Conclusion: Patients with Paget's disease and underlying invasive breast cancer tend to have poorer survival than those with HER-2-overexpressing breast cancer.

Objective To evaluate the effect of naringenin on KIM-1 expression in rats with renal interstitial fibrosis caused by unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO).Methods 24 SD male rats were randomly divided into Sham group,UUO group and naringe-nin group(Nar group),respectively.Rats in UUO group and Nar group got UUO to establish renal interstitial fibrosis models. Rats in Sham group only free but not ligated and cut ureters.Rats were administered saline and naringenin 25 mg/(kg·d)for 14 days.Then,24 h urine samples were collected before the rats were killed,and KIM-1 in these samples were measured by ELISA. Specimens were obtained from obstructive renal,the pathological change of renal tubule and interstitial were observe by HE and Masson staining.Moreover,the tubulointerstitial damage index was scored and the expression of KIM-1 in renal tissue was examined by immunohistochemical staining.Results Compared with Sham group,the tubulointerstitial damage index of UUO group significantly increased(P <0.05),contents of KIM-1 in urine and renal tissues also significantly increased(P <0.05).Com-pared with UUO group,the tubulointerstitial damage index score of Nar group alleviated(P <0.01),contents of KIM-1 in urine and renal tissues also reduced(P <0.05 ).Correlation analysis showed that there was positive correlation between KIM-1 in urine and renal tissues and TDI(r=0.862,0.866,P <0.01).Conclusion Naringenin can relieve renal interstitial fibrosis and reduce the content of KIM-1.
