Acupuncture Treatment for 34 Cases of Epiphora with Dysfunction of Lacrimal Duct

We have treated 34 cases of epiphora due to dysfunction of the lacrimal duct with a warm needle puncturing at the Jingming (UB 1) point. The effect was significantly better than that of the control group treated with lacrimal duct irrigation and norflaxacin eye drops (a total effective rate of 91.07% vs. 54.29%).

Altered swelling behavior of femoral cartilage following joint immobilization in a canine model.

Periods of reduced joint loading have been shown to induce changes in the biochemical composition. metabolism and mechanics of articular cartilage. In this study, changes in cartilage swelling behavior were studied following a 4-week period of joint immobilization, using a recently developed osmotic loading technique [J. Biomech, 32 (1999) 401-408]. The magnitude and distribution of swelling strains were measured in cartilage-bone samples equilibrated in physiological and hypotonic saline, relative to a hypertonic reference NaCl solution. Physicochemical parameters (glycosaminoglycan fixed charge density and water volume fraction) were determined in site-matched cartilage samples. The experimental data for swelling strains, fixed charge density and water volume fraction were used with a triphasic mechano-chemical theory [J. Biomech. Eng. 113 (1991) 245-258] to determine the effect of joint immobilization on the tensile modulus of the cartilage solid matrix. Four weeks of immobilization resulted in a significant increase in the magnitude of swelling-induced strains, and a significant decrease in fixed charge density in cartilage, as compared with the contralateral controls. Joint immobilization also resulted in decreases in values for the modulus of cartilage, as compared with the contralateral controls. Our results suggest that 4 weeks of joint immobilization had a significant effect on cartilage mechanical function that may be linked to collagen changes in the cartilage extracellular matrix.

Gender-specific response to isoflurane preconditioning in focal cerebral ischemia.

Inhalation anesthetics are effective chemical preconditioning agents in experimental cerebral ischemia. However, previous work has been performed exclusively in male animals. We determined if there is a gender difference in ischemic outcome after isoflurane preconditioning (IsoPC), and if this sex-specific response is linked to differences in Akt phosphorylation or expression of neuronal inducible cell-death putative kinase (NIPK), a negative modulator of Akt activation. Young and middle-aged male and female mice were preconditioned for 4 h with air (sham PC) or 1.0% IsoPC and recovered for 24 h. Cortices were subdissected from preconditioned young male and female mice for measurement of Akt phosphorylation (Western blot) and NIPK mRNA (quantitative polymerase chain reaction). Additional cohorts underwent 2 h of reversible middle cerebral artery occlusion. Lastly, male and female Akt1(+/+) and Akt1(-/-) mice were studied to determine if gender differences in ischemic outcome after IsoPC is Akt1-dependent. Infarction volume was determined at 22 h reperfusion (2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride). As expected, IsoPC decreased ischemic damage as compared with sham PC in young and middle-aged male mice. In contrast, IsoPC markedly increased infarction in young female mice and had no effect in middle-aged female mice. Cortical phospho-Akt was increased by IsoPC versus sham PC only in male mice. No increase was observed in IsoPC female mice. NIPK mRNA was higher in female mice than in male mice regardless of preconditioning status. Male IsoPC neuroprotection was lost in Akt1-deficient male mice. We conclude that IsoPC is beneficial only in ischemic male brain and that sex differences in IsoPC are mediated through Akt activation and basal NIPK expression.
