ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To compare the efficacy difference between's flying acupuncture combined with conventional treatment and conventional treatment alone on acute cerebral infarction hemiplegia.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 120 patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 60 cases in each one. The control group was treated with conventional treatment, including anti-platelet aggregation, lipid-lowering, formula of traditional Chinese medicine which could promote circulation and remove stasis, neurotrophic medication and symptomatic treatment; mannitol was used for cerebral infarction with large area or increased intracranial pressure. Based on the conventional treatment applied in the control group, the observation group was treated with flying acupuncture at the affected Jianyu (LI 15), Quchi (LI 11), Shousanli (LI 10), Waiguan (TE 5), Hegu (LI 4), Huantiao (GB 30), Biguan (ST 31), Futu (ST 32), Zusanli (ST 36), etc. The treatment was given once a day, six days per week, for totally 2 weeks. The simplified Fugl-Meyer score, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and ADL-Bathel index (BI) score were evaluated before and after treatment in the two groups.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>After the treatment, the simplified Fugl-Meyer and BI were significantly increased in both groups (all<0.05), which was significantly higher in the observation group (both<0.05); after the treatment, the NIHSS was significantly lowered in both groups (both<0.05), which was significantly lower in the observation group (<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b> 's flying acupuncture combined with conventional treatment were effective for acute cerebral infarction hemiplegia, which have better efficacy than conventional treatment on improving motor function, neurological deficit and daily living ability, and the pain is mild.</p>
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the expression of pituitary tumor transforming gene (PTTG) and c-myc gene in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL),its relationship with NHL and its clinical significance.Methods PTTG mRNA and c-myc mRNA levels in bone marrow mononuclear cell (BMMNC) isolated from 38 NHL patients and 10 chronic lymphadenitis patients were quantified by reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results mRNA expression of PTTG and c-myc gene in BMMNC was significantly higher in NHL patients than those in normal controls (PTTG:0.567 7±0.270 7 vs 0.071 2± 0.020 1,t =4.706,P ＜ 0.05; c-myc:0.352 6±0.185 4 vs 0.107 3±0.043 5,t =3.303,P =0.002).The expression of PTTG and c-myc gene in peripheral T cell lymphoma and diffuse large B cell lymphoma showed no significant difference (PTTG:0.556 8±0.211 3 vs 0.602 8±0.244 6,t =0.640,P =0.527; c-myc:0.350 1± 0.177 6 vs 0.361 0±0.190 2,t =0.302,P =0.765).Both expression of PTTG and c-myc were positively related to NHL clinical stage and IPI.Expression of PTTG mRNA was positively related to the expression of c-myc mRNA.Conclusion There was overexpression of PTTG and c-myc in NHL,which indicates that PTTG might be involved in tumorigenesis of NHL through direct or indirect activation of c-myc oncogene.
