ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy and safety of Da Chaihutang （DCH） for the treatment of sepsis with Yang syndrome. MethodsA total of 70 patients suffering from sepsis with Yang syndrome were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group， with 35 cases in each group. They both received standard Western medicine treatment. The observation group was additionally given a dose of DCH， which was boiled into 100 mL and taken twice. The control group was additionally given an equal volume and dosage of warm water. The intervention lasted for three days. The 28-day all-cause mortality and the changes in the following indicators before and after intervention were compared between the two groups， including sequential organ failure assessment （SOFA）， acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ （APACHE Ⅱ） score，white blood cell （WBC），the percentage of neutrophils （NEU%），C-reactive protein （CRP），procalcitonin （PCT），alanine transaminase （ALT），aspartate transaminase （AST），total bilirubin （TBil），creatinine （Cr），blood urea nitrogen （BUN），acute gastrointestinal injury （AGI） grade，gastrointestinal dysfunction score （GDS），serum intestinal fatty acid-binding protein （iFABP）， citrulline （CR），platelet （PLT），prothrombin time（PT），activated partial thromboplastin time （APTT），fibrinogen （Fib），international normalized ratio （INR），and D-dimer （D-D）. ResultsThere was no significant difference between the two groups regarding 28-day all-cause mortality. After the intervention，SOFA，WBC，PCT，and Cr were significantly decreased， and PLT was significantly increased in the control group （P<0.05）. SOFA，APACHE Ⅱ，NEU%，CRP，PCT，ALT，AST，Cr，BUN，AGI grade，GDS，and serum iFABP and CR were significantly improved in the observation group （P<0.05）. After the intervention，APACHE Ⅱ，PCT，AGI grade，GDS，and serum iFABP in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ，while CR and PLT were higher （P<0.05，P<0.01）. There were significant differences regarding the gap of SOFA，APACHE Ⅱ，AST，TBil，AGI grade，GDS，iFABP，CR， and PLT between the two groups （P<0.05，P<0.01）. There were slight differences regarding PT，APTT，Fib，INR，and D-D between the two groups，which were in the clinical normal range. ConclusionOn the basis of Western medicine， DCH helped to reduce sepsis severity and improved multiple organ dysfunction with high clinical efficacy and safety， but further research on its impact on the prognosis of patients with sepsis is still required.

Acupuncture treatment of chronic pain combined with depression (CPDC) is the result of a multi-target, multi-pathway approach. Acupuncture can treat CPDC by inhibiting the activation of glial cells, regulating the release of inflammatory mediators, regulating the expressions of neurotransmitters, changing the plasticity of neural synapses, regulating related epigenetic effects, regulating the microbiota-brain-gut axis, inhibiting nerve cell apoptosis, and antagonizing oxidative stress. The mechanism of its effect mainly involves anti-inflammatory related signaling pathways, regulation of neural synapse-related signaling pathways, and exerts its therapeutic effect through hippocampus, cerebral cortex, and amygdala.

Objective To analyze the predictive value of apolipoprotein B(apoB)and apoB to apolipoprotein A1(apoA1)ratio(apoB/A1)in acute myocardial infarction(AMI)of phlegm blended with blood stasis syndrome.Methods A total of 200 patients with AMI confirmed by coronary angiography in Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine during the trial period were collected.Data collection covered the basic information of gender,age,medical history of hypertension,coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus,and smoking history,the information of four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),and relevant indicators of blood lipids,the number of lesioned branches of coronary arteries and the Gensini scores.The predictive value of apoB and apoB/A1 for AMI of phlegm blended with blood stasis syndrome was explored by univariate Logistic regression analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis as well as by plotting the Receiver Operating Characteristic(ROC)curves.Results(1)Among the 200 AMI patients,41 cases were differentiated as qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome,36 cases as qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome,74 cases as phlegm blended with blood stasis syndrome,and 49 cases as other syndromes(including 16 cases of cold accumulation in heart vessels syndrome,22 cases of qi and yin deficiency syndrome,and 11 cases of healthy-qi deficiency and yang collapse syndrome).(2)The difference of Gensini scores among the patients with various TCM syndrome types were statistically significant(H=43.735,P=0.000<0.001).And the Gensini scores in the patients with syndromes of qi deficiency and blood stasis,qi stagnation and blood stasis,and phlegm blended with blood stasis were relatively high,being 60.0(43.0,87.0),70.0(48.5,84.0)and 65.0(40.0,95.0)points,respectively,which were higher than that of the other TCM syndrome types[44.0(32.0,64.0)points].The pairwise comparison between various TCM syndrome types showed that the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).However,there was no statistically significant difference in the number of lesioned branches of coronary arteries among the patients with various TCM syndrome types(H=1.180,P=0.758>0.05).(3)The results of correlation analysis showed that the number of lesioned branches of coronary arteries,Gensini score and apoB/A1 were significantly and positively correlated(r=0.140,P=0.049<0.05;r=0.205,P=0.004<0.01).(4)The results of univariate Logistic regression analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that apoB and apoB/A1 were the independent risk factors for phlegm blended with blood stasis syndrome(P<0.01).ROC curve analysis showed that apoB/A-1 exerted a high predictive value for AMI of phlegm blended with blood stasis syndrome,with high sensitivity and specificity.Conclusion It is indicated that ApoB/A1 can be used as an objective indicator for predicting AMI of phlegm blended with blood stasis syndrome in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate high risk human papillomavirus(HR-HPV)prevalence among married women in Beijing and to study the high risk flactors.nethods During March 2007 to September 2008.a total of 6185 married women sampled from 137 communities in 12 districts were screened bv HR-HPV DNA test and cytogical test.The interview was carried out with unified questionnaires.The databage was set up and twice entered in EpiDam 3.0.After checked up,the data were analyzed in SPSS 15.0.Results (1) The HR-HPV infection rate was 9.89%.The HR-HPV infection rate of the city zone,the suburb and the exurb were 9.34%,10.51% and 9.51% (P>0.05).The HR-HPV infection rate of the native and the oudander were 9.53%,11.30% (P<0.05).(2) The age distribution of HR-HPV infection was that the rate was around 10% among 25 to 44 age groups,which was the highest(11.21%) in 30 to 34 age group;then the rate was descended as the age raising,the rate of 50 to 54 age group was the lowest(7.78%).(3) Multiple logistic regression showed that the related risk factors of HR-HPV infection mainly included 1000 RMB and above of family income per person per month.possessing more than 1 sexual partner of her husband,outlander and hish levels of education.(4) The prevalence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN)in HR-HPV positive group wag significantly higher than that in HR-HPV negative group(29.76% vs 3.32%,P<0.01).Conclusions(1)The HR-HPV infection rate among aged 25 to 54 years was 9.9% and there was no significant difference in area distribution.(2)The hish risk population which should strengthen screening was the married bearing-age women with high level of family income,outlander,high levels of education and her husband possessing more than 1 sexual partner.(3)HR-HPV infection is the main risk factor for CIN and cervical cancer.while does not provide a causal relationship with them.The high risk population should be checked regularly to understand the development of HR-HPV infection and CIN incidence.

AIM To investigate the protection of plicamycin on apoptosis in cerebellar granule neurons (CGN) of rat. METHODS TUNEL, Hoechst 33258 staining, agarose gel electrophoresis and fluorescein diacetate staining were used to detect morphological and biochemical characteristics of apoptosis in primary rat CGN. RESULTS Being pre-incubated with plicamycin for 1 h and lasting for 24 h, rat CGN apoptosis induced by low potassium basal modified Eagle′s medium for 24 h was inhibited in a plicamycin concentration-dependent manner. This effective concentrations of plicamycin were from 50 to 200 nmol·L-1, and the maximum inhibitory rate of plicamycin on CGN apoptosis was near 80% at 200 nmol·L-1. CONCLUSIONPlicamycin inhibits rat CGN apoptosis induced by low potassium.

Aim To find out the relationship between muscarinic receptor and reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the probable differences between the four muscarinic receptor subtypes. Methods We transfected the plasmid encoding muscarinic receptor (including subtypes: M_1, M_2, M_3 and M_4) into PC12 cells. Then PC12 cells were exposed to hydrogen peroxide (H_2O_2), carbachol and other inhibitors such as atropine, LY294002 and PD98059. Results The results showed that activation of muscarinic receptor by carbachol protected PC12-M_1, PC12-M_2,PC12-M_3 and PC12-M_4 cells from apoptosis induced by H_2O_2. There was no statistical difference in the protective effect between these four muscarinic receptor subtypes. By using the inhibitors, we found that atropine and LY294002 blocked the protective effect of activation of muscarinic receptor on apoptosis induced by H_2O_2. Conclusion Activation of muscarinic receptor retarded the apoptosis induced by H_2O_2. There was no difference between the four muscarinic receptor subtypes. The protective effect was mainly mediated by the activation of muscarinic receptor and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K).

【Objective】To investigate the molecular mechanism of dopamine (DA)-induced apoptosis in cultured cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) and the effect of muscarinic cholinergic receptor (mAChR) agonist carbachol on it.【Methods】The apoptosis of neurons was measured by phase-contrast microscopy,Hoechst 33258 nucleus staining and DNA fragmentation agarose gel electrophoresis.The neuronal viability was measured by fluorescein diacetate (FDA) staining.The activation of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) was determined by Western blot.【Results】Dopamine increases the phosphorylation of ERK and induces apoptosis in CGNs,which is blocked by both carbachol and PD 98059.The protective effect and the inhibiting ERK phosphorylation of carbachol were blocked by atropine.【Conclusion】DA-induced apoptosis in CGNs may be mediated by activation of ERK.Carbachol protects CGNs from DA-induced apoptosis by activating mAChR and subsequent inhibition of activation of ERK.
