RESUMO
Aim To study the neuroprotective effects of Herba siegesbeckiae extract on cerebral ischemia/ reperfusion rats and its mechanism. Methods Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into model group, low, middle and high dose groups of Herba siegesbeckiae, and Sham operation group, and the drug was given continuously for seven days. The degree of neurologic impairment was evaluated by mNSS, and the infarct volume was measured by MRI. The number of Nissl-posi- tive cells was detected by Nissl staining, and the apop- tosis was accessed by Tunel staining. Furthermore, the expression of Bax, Bcl-2 and NeuN was observed by Western blot, and the expression of NeuN was detected by immunofluorescence staining. The expression of IL- 1β, TNF-α and IL-6 mRNA was performed by RT- qPCR. Results The mNSS score and the volume of ischemic cerebral infarction in the model group were significantly increased, and Herba siegesbeckiae extract treatment significantly decreased the mNSS score and infarct volume (P<0.05, P<0.01). Herba siegesbeckiae extract could increase the number of Nissl-pos- itive cells and the expression of NeuN (P<0.01), and reduce the number of Tunel-positive cells (P<0.01). Western blot showed that Herba siegesbeckiae extract inhibited the expression of Bax, increased Bcl-2 and NeuN in ischemic brain tissue (P<0.01). RT-qPCR showed that Herba siegesbeckiae extract inhibited the expression of IL-1 β, TNF-α and IL-6 mRNA in the is-chemic brain tissue (P<0.01). Conclusions Herba siegesbeckiae extract can reduce the cerebral infarction volume, improve the neurological function damage, inhibit the apoptosis of nerve cells and the expression of inflammatory factors and promote the expression of NeuN, there by exerting protective effects on MCAO rats.

RESUMO
Aim To study the effect of salidroside (SAL) on cerebral vascular endothelial cells of rats with ischemic brain injury and its mechanism of action. Methods Twenty-four healthy adult SD male rats were prepared by bolt plugging method to prepare MCAO models,and randomly divided into sham surgery group ( Sham ) , model group ( MCAO ) , and SAL administration group (MCAO + SAL) ,and the concentration of SAL was 50 mg • kg ~ , with a continuous administration for six days. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 , E-se-lectin,and P-selectin in injured brain tissue of rats. In vitro cell experiments using HUVECs were subjected to different concentrations of salidroside (0. 1,1,10 jjunol • L ) and LPS (100
RESUMO
The research on the processing mechanism of Chinese medicine is the key and core foundation to improve processing technologies of Chinese medicine, formulate the quality standards of Chinese medicinal pieces, enhance the clinical efficacy of Chinese medicine, enrich Chinese medicine processing theories, and promote the development of Chinese medicine processing. Many researc-hers have conducted in-depth exploration on the processing mechanism of Chinese medicine in the 20 years in the 21 st century. Significant progress has been made in the transformation of chemical components during the processing, the change of active components in the body, the law of toxicity attenuation in the processing of toxic Chinese medicine, the mechanism of efficacy enhancement and toxicity attenuation of processing with auxiliary materials, and the application of new biomedical technologies. At present, the processing mechanism of multiple Chinese medicines has been preliminarily clarified, which has greatly promoted the development of Chinese me-dicine processing. The development of the processing mechanism of Chinese medicine reveals that the in vitro transformation of chemical components is combined with the in vivo absorption, transport, and metabolism, and the macroscopic biological effects of the organism are combined with the cells, molecules, targets, and pathways in the study of the processing mechanism of Chinese medicine. More attention has been paid to exploring the processing mechanism from the overall level, and a modern systematic research system on the processing mechanism of Chinese medicine has been initially formed. To further promote the scientific development of Chinese me-dicine processing, the present study proposed that the research on the processing mechanism of Chinese medicine should take Chinese medicine properties into account, focus on the influence of disease condition on the mode of action and effect strength of the drugs, comply with the characteristics of clinical compound compatibility of Chinese medicine, use the holistic view research strategies of systems bio-logy, and deeply explore the processing mechanism of Chinese medicine from traditional Chinese medicine theories and the characteristics of clinical medication of Chinese medicine.

This paper introduced the application of pneumatic artificial muscles in rehabilitation medical equipment at home and abroad, and emphatically analyzed the application of pneumatic artificial muscle in upper limb rehabilitation instruments and lower limb rehabilitation instruments in recent years, among which upper limb rehabilitation instruments included hand, wrist and arm, and lower limb rehabilitation instruments included leg, knee and ankle. The working characteristics and application scope of the application examples were introduced, and a comparative analysis of the same functional rehabilitation equipment was made.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the effect of electroacupuncture at Jiaji (EX-B2) points and Stomach Meridian Foot-Yang Ming points on the neurological function and the expression of local Synapsin I in rats after spinal cord injury, and to explore its molecular mechanism. Methods:A total of 60 Sprague-Dawley rats were established spinal cord injury model and they were randomly divided into normal control group, Jiaji group and Yang Ming group, with 20 rats in each group. On the third day after operation, Jiaji group and Yang Ming group were treated with electroacupuncture while the normal control group was not. Their neurological function was assessed with BBB every day. Four rats in each group were sacrificed at the end of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th week during the intervention period. HE staining was used to observe the morphology of spinal cord. Immumohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of Synapsin I protein. Reverse transcription real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blotting was used to detect the content of of Synapsin I mRNA and protein. Results:The BBB scores were higher in Jiaji group and Yang Ming group than in the normal control group at all the time points (P < 0.05), and were higher in Yang Ming group than in Jiaji group from one to three weeks (P < 0.05). The immunohistochemical scores of Synapsin I protein were higher in Jiaji group than in the normal control group in the first week (P < 0.05), and were higher in Yang Ming group than in the normal control group from one to four weeks (P < 0.05). The immunohistochemical scores of Synapsin I protein were higher in Yang Ming group than in Jiaji group from three to four weeks (P < 0.05). The expression of Synapsin I mRNA and protein first increased and then decreased in the normal control group; which was higher in Jiaji group than in the normal control group in the first week (P < 0.05) and was higher in Yang Ming group than in the normal control group from one to four weeks (P < 0.05). The Synapsin I mRNA expression in the third week and the Synapsin I protein expression from two to three weeks was higher in Yang Ming group than in Jiaji group (P < 0.05). Conclusion:Electroacupuncture at both Jiaji points and Stomach Meridian Foot-Yang Ming points promote the recovery of nerve function in rats with spinal cord injury. It may be related to the elevated level of Synapsin I in the damaged parts of the spinal cord.
RESUMO
Pain post spinal cord injury (SCI) is treated clinically with drug and non-drug treatments, commonly including opioid analgesics, antiepileptics, antidepressants, acupuncture and moxibustion, stimulation therapy, surgical treatment, and so on. The effect of the drug treatment is obvious but following serious side effect; the non-drug treatment has small side effect and is safe and controllable, which has shown great development potential with the development of science and technology although the treatment effect is not certain.
