Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of cerebral palsy children with liver strong spleen weak syndrome treated with integrated traditional Chinese medicine therapy. Methods Eighty cerebral palsy children with liver strong spleen weak syndrome were divided into treatment group (40 cases) and control group (40 cases). Patients in control group were treated with conventional therapy (including exercise therapy, occupational therapy, guidance education, physical factors, and psychological therapy), and patients in treatment group were treated with integrated traditional Chinese medicine therapy (acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine medicated bath) additionally. Three months were set for a course of treatment, and the whole treatment lasted for a total of four courses. TCM clinical symptoms were scored every six months, muscle tone (MAS), gross motor function (GMFM), and daily life activity ability (MBI) were evaluated every three months for both groups. Results There were significant differences in the total scores of TCM clinical symptom, MAS, GMFM, and MBI at different treatment time points in the two groups, compared with that before treatment (P<0.01). There were significant differences in the total scores of clinical symptom for Chinese medicine, MAS, GMFM, and MBI at different treatment time points for treatment group, compared with that of control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Integrated traditional Chinese medicine therapy (acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine medicated bath) for cerebral palsy children on the basis of western medicine therapy can more effectively improve function and life quality of children patients.
Résumé
Sixty barrows (Duroc × Labdrace × Yorkshine) were randomly assigned to two groups by weight of 33 kg,each of which was replicated three times with ten pigs. Half of the pigs were fed with diets containing 10 mg/kg lead and 0.5% particulate montmorillonite,the other half pigs were fed only with diets supplemented 10 mg/kg lead as control groups for 100 days.The results showed that the addition of particulate montmorillonite to the diet significantly decreased lead concentration in tissues such as blood,brain,liver,bone,kidney and hair and enhanced the erythropoiesis as measured by increasing numbers of RBC,hemoglobin and hematocrit values ,and elevated ALA-D activity in liver. The damage of lead to the liver was evident in the increases in hepatic concentration of malondialdehyde (+ 17.08% );decreases in the antioxidant enzymes catalase(-85.73 % ),superoxide dismutase ( - 52.17% ) and glutathione peroxidase ( - 47.56% ). Concomitant use of particulate montmorillonite in the diets completely ameliorated the lead-induced oxidative damage. It indicated that particulate montmorillonite is possessed of the potential therapeutic activity against lead poison.
Résumé
Nanotechnology is the technique that is used in manufacturing special function products with the studies of movement regularities and properties for electrons, atoms and molecules within 1-100 nm. It is penetrating into the fields of biology and medicine. Because nanoparticles possess quantum size effect, surface little size effect and grand quantum tunnel effect, they exhibit many characteristics such as great specific surface area, high surface activity, a lot of surface active centers, high catalytic efficiency and strong adsorbing ability. The development of biology and medicine will be speeded up with the progress of nanotechnology and the understanding of nanoparticles.

Objective: 780 Linen yellow broiler chicken, 1 d of age, were used to investigate the effects of nano elemental selenium (Nano-Se) or Na2SeO3 on growth performance and antioxidant function. Method:The chicken were allocated to 13 treatments, each of which had 4 pens of 15 chicks per pen. The thirteen dietary treatments were basal diet only,and basal diet + 0.1、0.2、0.3、0.4、0.5、1.0 mg/kg Se as Na2SeO3 or Nano-Se, respectively. Results:(1) The growth performance of chicken remained steady at the peak value at concentration range of 0.2-0.5 mg/kg for Na2SeO3. Supplementation with 1.0 mg/kg Se as Na2SeO3 reduced (P
Résumé
Objective: To study the effects of dietary fructooligosaccharide (FOS) on cholesterol metabolism in finishing pigs. Methods: A total of 96 finishing pigs (Duroc?Landrance?Jia) were randomly alotted to four groups each of which was replicated three times with eight pigs per replicate. The groups received the same basal corn-soybean meal diet and FOS was added to the basal diet at 0,0.5%,1 0%,1.5% at the expense of corn, respectively. At the end of the feeding trial, eight pigs with similar body weights from each treatment were slaughtered. Results: (1) Supplementation with FOS significantly improved average daily gain and feed efficiency. (2) Pigs fed 1.0% and 1.5% FOS had significantly lower serum TC and LDL-C concentrations and greater HDL-C/LDL-C ratio compared with the control. Pigs fed 1.5% FOS had significantly lower serum VLDL-C and ApoB concentrations and Apo B/Apo A-1 ratio. (3) Supplementation with 1.0% and 1.5% FOS significantly decreased the activities of HMG-CoA reductase. (4) Supplementation with 1.5% FOS significantly increased the colonic acetate and butyrate and plasma acetate. Supplementation with 0.5%,1.0% and 1.5% FOS significantly increased colonic propionate. (5) Fecal cholesterol excretion was significantly greater in the pigs fed 1.0% and 1.5% FOS and fecal bile acid excretion was significantly greater in the pigs fed 1.5% FOS than the control. Conclusion: FOS may improve cholesterol metabolism by alteration in the absorption and synthesis of cholesterol resulted from the changes in colonic fermentation, and by increase in the fecal excretion of cholesterol and bile acid.
