OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of brain functional recovery decoction (BFRD) on expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) protein in rats with cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury, and to explore the mechanism of action of BFRD.METHODS
Using the suture-occlusion method, a Wistar rat model of focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion was established. The rats were randomly divided into treatment group, model group, and sham operation group. The treatment group was administered BFRD. In situ hybridization was used to detect VEGF mRNA expression. Immunohistochemistry was used to observe expression of Ang-1 protein.RESULTS
VEGF mRNA expression was greater in the model group compared with the sham operation group (P < 0.05); Ang-1 protein expression was more obvious in the treatment group than the model group (P< 0.05).CONCLUSION
BFRD promoted VEGF mRNA and Ang-1 protein expression in the brains of rats with cerebral ischemia, suggesting increased angiogenesis. 相似文献2.

Objective
The aim of this study is identify the intervention mechanism of the effects of electro-acupuncture on the expression of Ang/Tie-2 mRNA and protein in rats with acute cerebral infarction induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).Methods
Altogether 120 Wistar rats were subjected to MCAO by inserting a nylon filament, and then divided into 3 groups: control group, injured group and electro-acupuncture group. The injured and electro-acupuncture groups were further divided into the following 7 subgroups according to the time after MCAO: 3, 6, 12, 24 h, 3, 7 and 12 day, with 8 rats in each subgroup. The electro-acupuncture group was given electro-acupuncture treatment at Shuigou (GV 26) instantly after operation. The rats were killed at different time points according to their groups, and then the expression levels of Ang/Tie-2 mRNA and protein were detected using Real-Time PCR and immunohistochemical staining.Results
The mRNA and protein expression levels of Ang/Tie-2 in the electro-acupuncture group were significant higher than that in the injured group.Conclusion
The results suggested that electro-acupuncture could significantly regulate the expression of Ang/Tie-2 mRNA and protein in the rats with acute cerebral infarction induced by MCAO, and enhance angiogenesis after ischemic penumbra. 相似文献3.
Objective
To observe the regulation of electroacupuncture on gene expression at calcium signaling pathways in mice with cerebral ischemia reperfusion.Methods
Sixty male, inbred Kunming mice were randomly assigned to three groups: repeated cerebral ischemia reperfusion group (RG, n = 24), sham-operated group (SG, n = 12), and electroacupuncture group (EG, n = 24). Mice in RG and EG groups were modeled by repeated cerebral ischemia reperfusion surgery, and EG mice were treated with electroacupuncture for 30 min after recovery from anesthesia. Changes in gene expression profile of mice hippocampi were analyzed by global expression profile microarray. Genes that were up-regulated or down-regulated greater than 1.5 folds were considered to be biologically meaningful. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (q-PCR) method was used to verify the expression of selected genes based on the algorithm [2^ (12Ct)].Results
Compared with SG mice, 242 genes showed different in expressions in RG mice: 107 down-regulated and 135 up-regulated. Compared with RG mice, 609 genes showed a difference of expression in EG mice: 315 down-regulated and 375 up-regulated. Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses indicated two pathways: calcium signaling and long-term potentiation in which 11 differentially expressed genes selected. Six of the 11 genes in the calcium signaling pathway were verified after real-time q-PCR testing.Conclusion
Electroacupuncture treatment of cerebral ischemia reperfusion appears to regulate Atp2a2, Cacna1e, Camk2a, Gnas, Grm1, Rapgef3 genes in the calcium signaling pathway. 相似文献4.

Objective
To investigate the anti-embolic effect of Taorenchengqi Tang (TRCQT), a formulas from Traditional Chinese Medicine, plus aspirin in rats with embolic stroke induced by selective occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCA). Possible side effects of hemorrhagic incident and other bleeding events and anti-platelet effect were also explored.Methods
Ninety rats were randomly separated into 9 groups (n = 10): group 1 a sham-operated group (n = 10); groups 2 and 3 orally treated with an isovolumetric solvent (distilled water) for 1 and 3 months, followed by thromboembolic occlusion (n = 10); groups 4 and 5 orally treated with aspirin (5 mg/kg) alone for 1 and 3 months, followed by thromboembolic occlusion (n = 10); groups 6 and 7 orally treated with TRCQT (0.5 g/kg) alone for 1 and 3 months, followed by thromboembolic occlusion (n = 10); groups 8 and 9 orally treated with TRCQT plus aspirin for 1 and 3 months, respectively followed by thromboembolic occlusion (n = 10). The ischemic stroke in rats was induced by selective MCA occlusion. One was orally administered. After the treatments, rats' brains were removed, sectioned and stained with triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) for infarct volume measurement. The incidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) were observed. A potential gastric bleeding side effect was assessed by measuring hemoglobin (Hb), and prothrombin time (PT). Collagen-induced platelet activation and tail vein bleeding time were measured.Results
Treatment with TRCQT alone or in combination with aspirin reduced infarct volume for 1 (P < 0.05), and 3 (P < 0.01) months without SAH and ICH incidences, and gastric bleeding. TRCQT treatment for 1 month was also not altered PT. Moreover, a concentration dependent inhibition of collagen-induced platelet activation, followed by increasing of tail vein bleeding time was observed after TRCQT treatment.Conclusion
Either TRCQT alone or TRCQT plus aspirin exhibits potent neuroprotective effect by reducing infarct volume without changing the status of SAH, ICH and gastric bleeding possibly via inhibiting the platelet activation and increasing bleeding time. 相似文献5.

Objective
To evaluate the effects of baicalin in human gastric cancer cells, including apoptosis-inducing effects, and to investigate its underlying mechanisms of action.Methods
Cell proliferation and apoptosis assays were performed to investigate the anti-proliferation effects of baicalin in human gastric cancer BGC-823 and MGC-803 cells. Real time-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting analysis were performed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the anti-tumor properties of baicalin.Results
In BGC-823 and MGC-803 gastric cancer cells treated with 80, 120, and 160 µmol/L baicalin for 48 h, a 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide assay showed that baicalin significantly inhibited cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner, while flow cytometric analysis demonstrated that baicalin could induce apoptosis, also in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, baicalin up-regulated the expression of caspase-3, caspase-9, and B cell lymphoma (Bcl-2)-associated X protein and down-regulated the expression of Bcl-2 at both the mRNA and protein level.Conclusion
Baicalin has potential as a therapeutic agent for gastric cancer by inducing apoptosis in cancer cells. 相似文献7.

OBJECTIVE
To systematically assess the effects and safety of Sini decoction as an adjuvant therapy for patients with angina pectoris.METHODS
We searched PubMed, Excerpt Medica Database, the Cochrane library, Wanfang Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database, China Science and Technology Journal Database from the date of its inception until August 1, in 2014. Available literatures were selected according to the inclusion criteria. Two reviewers finished data extraction, checked the data and assessed the methodological quality of studies, independently. The Review Manage Software 5.1.0 was used for data analysis.RESULTS
Six trials involving 453 participants were eligible. None of the trials reported the mortality due to angina pectoris. The secondary outcomes showed that Sini decoction, together with nitroglycerin when necessary, may have some effects on reducing the number of angina attacks and the amount of nitroglycerin. But in terms of reducing the duration of angina and improvement of electrocardiogram, there were no statistical differences between Sini decoction group and isosorbide dinitrate group. Only one reported that no adverse events were found.CONCLUSION
Based on this systematic review, Sini decoction can reduce the dosage of nitroglycerin, when compared with isosorbide dinitrate group. And there were no enough evidence in the papers to draw any conclusions for the safety of Sini decoction. 相似文献11.

Objective
To examine the influence of cupping on the quality of life of healthy people who referred to traditional Persian medicine clinics in Tehran.Methods
All participants were examined by Traditional Persian Medicine specialists and their temperaments were determined. The area between the shoulders was cleaned, and cupping was performed with a disposable cupping glass for a few minutes. The questionnaire used in this project was the Persian version of the SF-36 questionnaire which assesses people's understanding of their health status. Before cupping and then one month after cupping, all participants were called and the questionnaires were completed again. Finally, all given data was analyzed.Results
From a total of 290 questionnaires completed in the first phase of the project, 112 patients were excluded. Ultimately, the data of 178 participants was analyzed. After one month, the quality of life score of 155 participants (88%) increased, remained unchanged for 21 participants (11.7%), and decreased for 2 participants (1.1%). Asked about possible complications from cupping, 160 participants reported no side effects (89.9%).Conclusion
Our findings suggest that cupping therapy can improve the scores of quality of life in the participants in Tehran. 相似文献12.
Objective
To evaluate the influence of clinical pathways in the hospitals using the Traditional Chinese Medicine in treatment of stroke in terms of postoperative complications, length of stay (LOS), costs incurred during hospitalization, compared with standard medical care.Methods
Medline, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) platforms, Wanfang databases and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched. The search was performed up to August 2014. Each study was assessed independently by two reviewers. The assessment of methodological quality of the included studies was based on the Methodological index for non-randomized studies standard. Meta-analyses were performed using RevMan software, version 5.0.Results
Six studies met the study inclusion criteria and were included in the Meta-analysis for a total sample of 710 patients. The aggregate overall results showed that shorter length of stay in the clinical pathway group was observed during hospital stay was associated with the use of the clinical pathways. No significant differences were found in other effects.Conclusion
Regardless the possible limitations, our findings show that clinical pathways can significantly reduce LOS. Although there is no clear evidence that clinical pathways can reduce hospital costs, but the cost of hospitalization path group for each included study were lower than the control group. 相似文献13.

Objective
To observe the effect of transcutaneous electroacupuncture (TEA) at Neiguan (PC 6) on refractory vomiting in critically ill patients in intensive care (ICU) setting.Methods
Ten patients admitted in ICU and presenting vomiting refractory to one or more antiemetic drugs were prospectively included in the study. TEA was applied at acupoint of Neiguan (PC 6) during 30 min with a neuromuscular transmission monitor (single-twitch stimulation with 1 Hz at a constant current of 10 mA). Nausea and Vomiting were evaluated at the following intervals: immediately after 30 min of TEA at Neiguan (PC 6), 30 min-6h and 6–24 h. The presence of nausea and/or vomiting throughout the observational period was defined as the primary end point.Results
The presence of nausea or vomiting throughout the observational period was 10% at the end of TEA, 40% between 30 min and 6 h, and 50% between 30 min and 24 h (P < 0.001, P = 0.01 and P = 0.03 vs pre-TEA, respectively). There were no complications or side effects related to TEA.Conclusion
TEA at Neiguan (PC 6) seems effective in reducing refractory vomiting in the patients in ICU setting, even if larger trials are needed to define optimal modalities. 相似文献15.
Objective
To evaluate the effects of feet reflexology versus segmental massage in reducing pain and its intensity, frequency and duration of the attacks in females suffering from migraine.Methods
Forty eight females aged 33–58, suffering from migraine for 2 to 10 years were included in this study from November 2013 to November 2015. The study protocol was carried out in Department of Chronic Diseases at the Regional Hospital in Zywiec. In the reflexology group (RG) the patients received a series of 10 treatments 2 times per week; in the segmental massage group (SMG) the patients received a series of 15 treatments 3 times per week. Pain during migraine attacks was assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS), and headache features such as intensity (IA), frequency (FA) and duration (DA) of attacks were assessed before the treatment, just after the treatment, 3 months after the treatment.Results
All variables (VAS, IA, FA and DA) decreased within RG and SMG 3 months after the treatment in compare with the baseline values, and the differences were statistically significant. The differences between groups were also statistically significant.Conclusion
Feet reflexology and segmental massage provide a safe alternative for the pharmacological treatment of migraine. The patients with migraine obtain significant health benefits with feet reflexology. 相似文献16.
Objective
To evaluate the effects of tetrandrine plus arsenic trioxide on HCC1937 cells, a triple negative breast cancer cell line, and to explore possible mechanisms.Methods
The 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide method was used to compare the antiproliferative effects of tetrandrine, arsenic trioxide alone and tetrandrine plus arsenic trioxide on HCC1937 cells. The median-effect principle (Chou-Talalay combination index method) was used to examine the interaction between the two drugs. Flow cytometry was used to evaluate effects of treatment with tetrandrine, arsenic trioxide or the combination of both on HCC1937 cell apoptosis. Real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting were performed to evaluate changes in apoptosis-related gene expression and protein levels.Results
Tetrandrine and arsenic trioxide each inhibited HCC1937 cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. The cell inhibition rate of HCC1937 cells treated with a combination of tetrandrine and arsenic trioxide was significantly higher than with either compound alone. The two drugs produced a synergistic effect when the inhibition rate was 20%-40%. Flow cytometry results showed that treatment with the two drugs increased the proportion of apoptotic cells. In the combination treated group, caspase-3 activation and PARP cleavage were significantly higher than in the other groups. Moreover, Bcl-2 and survivin expression were decreased, whereas that of both Bid and Bax was increased.Conclusion
These findings demonstrated that tetrandrine plus arsenic trioxide had synergistic efficacy on induction of apoptosis in HCC1937 cells. 相似文献17.
Objective
To evaluate the efficacy of Xielikang capsules (XLKC) in the treatment of HIV-related diarrhea (HRD) and its effect on the plasma concentration of interleukin-17 (IL-17).Methods
This was a randomized, open-label, positively-controlled clinical trial. Sixty-seven HRD patients were randomly assigned to two groups: one group was treated with XLKC (n = 35), the other with diosmectite (Smecta®, n = 32). All patients were treated for 4 weeks. The HRD symptom scores were evaluated in each patient based on the frequency of diarrhea, and the quality and shape of the stool according to the Chinese Medicine Clinical Treatment of AIDS Program. The plasma concentration of IL-17 before and after treatment was measured with ELISA.Results
Compared with the Smecta® group, the XLKC group had a significantly reduced frequency of diarrhea and HRD symptom score regarding the quality and shape of stools (P < 0.05). The IL-17 concentration in the peripheral blood of the XLKC group was significantly increased after treatment, while the IL-17 concentration in the Smecta® group significantly decreased after treatment.Conclusion
XLKC improves the symptoms of patients with HRD, and increases the plasma concentration of IL-17. 相似文献18.
Objective
To systematically review treatments of exfoliative cheilitis based on symptom patterns in terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine.Methods
PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Wanfang data were screened for case reports, case series or clinical trials that were published in English or Chinese from January, 1973 to September, 2015. The keyword of “exfoliative cheilitis or scaling cheilitis or factitious cheilitis” was used. Effectiveness or ineffectiveness was investigated as outcome for Meta analysis, which is based on effective index in each study. Response to treatment was described for case reports or case series.Results
From 38 screened studies, 17 were randomized controlled trials (RCTs), 5 were single-arm trials, and 16 were case reports or case series. Three RCTs were eligible for Meta analysis and all of them compared managements between Traditional Chinese Medicine and corticosteroids for exfoliative cheilitis, which involved 223 participants. Interestingly, data of Meta analysis showed similar effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine and corticosteroids for patients with exfoliative cheilitis [relative risk ratio: 1.10; 95% CI (1.00-1.21), P = 0.06].Conclusion
Traditional Chinese Medicine might be a substitute for corticosteroids on exfoliative cheilitis. However, the evidence and recommendation of exfoliative cheilitis managements need to be taken with caution because of the low quality of evidence in the studies obtained. 相似文献19.

Objective
To assess skin temperature response to menstruation at acupuncture points in primary dysmenorrhea (PD) patients and healthy volunteers so as to explore acupuncture point specificity in reflecting diseases in the light of skin temperature.Methods
Fifty-two PD patients and 49 healthy volunteers were recruited. Skin temperature measurements were performed with a skin temperature assessment device at 10 points. Absolute difference between skin temperature of the same point on the left and right side is used as main outcome measure.Results
On the first day of menstruation, when menstrual pain attacking in PD patients, a significant increase in skin temperature difference was detected at Taixi (KI 3) compared with the healthy group (P < 0.01). A significant reduction in skin temperature difference was detected at Taixi (KI 3) in the first day of menstruation compared with those values in the third day after menstruation (P < 0.01) in the healthy group. On the third day after menstruation, a significant reduction in skin temperature difference was found at Zhongdu (LR 6) in PD group compared with the healthy group (P < 0.05). No significant differences of skin temperature were detected at other points (P > 0.05).Conclusion
The skin temperature difference at menstruation-relevant points in PD patients did not all change significantly more than those in women without PD. Significant difference was only found in Taixi (KI 3), the Yuan-source point of Kidney meridian. 相似文献20.
