Observation on therapeutic effect of acupuncture at point "Xiajiquan" on muscular strength of finger after apoplexy / 中国针灸

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To approach to the best therapy for recovery of fingers function after apoplexy. METHODS; One hundred and twenty-three cases were randomly divided into an observation group of 63 cases and a control group of 60 cases. The control group were treated by acupuncture at Quchi (LI 11), Shousanli ( LI 10), Waiguan (TE 5), etc., and the observation group by acupuncture at point "Xiajiquan" besides the acupoints for the control group. After treatment of 10 sessions, the therapeutic effects were assessed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The cured and markedly effective rate was 74.6% in the observation group and 40.0% in the control group, the observation group being significantly better than the control group (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Point "Xiajiquan" has a better therapeutic effect on derivation of finger muscular strength.</p>

ANALYSIS OF L-VALINE BIOSYNTHESIS MECHANISM BY METABOLIC FLUX BALANCE MODEL / 微生物学通报

Using metabolic flux balance model , the metabolic flux balance of L- v aline synthesis was established in this paper by material balances and linear p rogramming method. The analysis results indicate that 62.8% metabolic flux ent er ed EMP pathway and 38.2% metabolic flux entered the HMP pathway. And only 9.2 % c arbon entered the TCA cycle. But comparing to the optimal flux distributions of 92.31, the production of L-valine should be improved from the genetic manipula ti on and fermentation control through reducing byproduct of amino acid and decreas ing the metabolic flux.
