Objective To investigate the protective effect and underlying mechanisms of HydroMg, a novel sustained-release hydrogen donor, in a model of doxorubicin (DOX)-induced chronic cardiotoxicity. Methods H9C2 cells were treated with 1 μmol/L DOX and/or 1 μg/mL HydroMg, and mitochondrial membrane potential, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and apoptosis were measured. In the animal experiment, mice were divided into control, HydroMg, DOX, and DOX+HydroMg groups. The HydroMg group received intraperitoneal injection of HydroMg (100 mg/kg). Chronic cardiotoxicity was established by intraperitoneal injection of DOX (5 mg/kg every week) for four consecutive weeks; In the DOX+HydroMg group, HydroMg (100 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally 4–5 h prior to each DOX injection. Cardiac function and remodeling were evaluated by echocardiography and heart weight index (HWI). The long-term survival of mice were analyzed. Subsequently, transcriptome sequencing was performed on myocardial tissues from the DOX group to identify key molecular alterations compared with controls. Results At the cellular level, HydroMg treatment effectively reversed DOX-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, as evidenced by restored membrane potential, reductions in total ROS and mitochondrial superoxide levels by approximately 30% and 9%, respectively, and a decrease in the apoptosis rate from 34.13% to 18.27%. In the animal model, compared with the DOX group, HydroMg intervention increased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and fractional shortening (LVFS) by 9.62% and 5.82%, respectively, attenuated the reduction in HWI (4.41 mg/mm vs 3.53 mg/mm), and improved the 4-week survival rate (80% vs 60%). Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the core molecular features of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, including widespread suppression of oxidative phosphorylation and antioxidant pathways. Conclusions HydroMg protects against DOX-induced chronic cardiotoxicity by alleviating oxidative stress and improving mitochondrial function, and provides a potential therapeutic strategy against DOX-related cardiotoxicity.

Objective The multiple malformation of upper eyelid,including the excessive width of fold line,sunken and/or multiple folded upper eyelid are the common complications after blepharoplasty.The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical effect of orbital septum fat redistribution on correcting these deformities.Methods From September 2015 to September 2017,38 patients with multiple malformations of upper eyelid were treated.The incision of upper eyelid and the excessive skin was designed and resected.After completely relieving the scar adhesion zones,we set the lateral orbital septum fat free and transposed it to the inner side of orbital septum or superior border of tarsus with suturing fixation.Then we routinely completed the double eyelid operation.Results Thirty-eight patients with multiple malformations of upper eyelid were treated successfully.The patients were followed up for 6 months to one year,and the results were totally satisfactory.The operation was not performed again.Conclusions The orbital septum fat redistribution can successfully correct the multi ple malformation of upper eyelid.It should become a regular procedure in blepharoplasty.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of acup point injection and rehabilitation techniques on recovery of upper limb function and activities of daily life (ADL) in patients with shoulder-hand syndrome (SHS) after cerebral infarction.Methods Ninety-six patients with SHS after cerebral infarction admitted to Jiuquan City Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and Jiuquan City People's Hospital from January 2014 to February 2016 were enrolled, and they were randomly assigned to observation group (56 cases) and control group (40 cases). The patients in the two groups were given the same routine comprehensive cerebral infarction treatments and rehabilitation technological training. In the control group, additionally intermediate frequency physiotherapy was used, while in the observation group, acupuncture and acupoint injection of salvia miltiorrhiza and ligustrazine were added. The patients in two groups were treated consecutively for one month, afterwards, the upper limb motor function, ADL, shoulder joint pain, degree of swelling and range of motion were assessed, and the clinical effects were observed.Results After treatment, the modified Fugl-Meyer motor function score (FMA), modified barthel index (MBI) and the ranges of voluntary activities of shoulder abduction, adduction, flexion, extension, internal rotation and external rotation in patients of two groups were significantly increased than those before treatment; the pain visual analog scale (VAS) and the edema volume difference in observation group were lower than those in the control group, and after treatment, the changes of above indexes were more significant in the observation group than those in the control group [FMA: 70.10±6.38 vs. 41.76±18.69, VAS: 2.00±1.37 vs. 5.00±1.25, MBI: 75.17±3.51 vs. 51.56±2.12, edema volume difference (cm3): 2.13±2.05 vs. 5.75±1.17, flexion: (153.1±6.7)° vs. (56.0±10.9)°, extension: (39.6±5.8)° vs. (17.2±6.7)°, abduction:(168.1±9.6)° vs. (52.1±8.9)°, adduction: (52.1±3.6)° vs. (21.8±4.3)°, external rotation: (49.8±7.6)° vs. (23.2±5.2)°, internal rotation: (107.0±8.5)° vs. (51.2±6.1)°], the total effect in observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [91.1% (52/56) vs. 70.0% (28/40),P < 0.05].Conclusions Acupuncture and acupoint injection combined with three-level therapeutic regimen of rehabilitation technological training for treatment of shoulder-hand syndrome after cerebral infarction can reduce the patient's pain and edema, and improve upper limb motor function and activities of daily living.

Objective To investigate the influence of acupuncture and stage health education on the function rehabilitation of stroke patients with depression.Methods 85 patients with poststroke depression were divided into a treatment group (44) and a control group (41).All the cases were treated with routine neurological therapy.Based upon it,the treatment group was given acupuncture and stage health education.Barthel (BI) index and movement scale Fugl Meyer (FMA),depression scale Zung (SDS) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD)were observed in the two groups before and after the treatment.Results After eight weeks treatment,the scores of SDS and HAMD in the two groups were (46.97±12.17),(26.04±5.37),compared with the pretreatment scores(56.07± 5.51),(32.74± 5.17),they were significantly reduced.The scores ofBI,FMB were(67.13 ±15.53),(64.41 ±20.03) which were significantly increased (average P<0.01),this increase was more significant in the treatment group (P<0.05) Post-stroke depression comparison:the total effect of SDS and HAMD in the treatment group was (77.88%,78.6%),which was more superior to the control group (56.6%,52.4%).Conclusion The acupuncture and stage health education has a significant clinical treatment effect on the patients suffered from post-stroke depression and also can enhance their body movement function as well as the daily ability.
