Effect on serum metabolomics of rats with premature ovarian insufficiency by Zhibian (BL54) through Shuidao (ST28) acupuncture.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the serum metabolic targets of the "Zhibian (BL54) through Shuidao (ST28)" acupuncture technique in cyclophosphamide (CTX)-induced premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) model rats and to elucidate the potential molecular mechanism of acupuncture in improving POI. METHODS: We used an intraperitoneal injection of CTX to establish the POI rat model (POI group) and compared serum hormone levels and ovarian histopathological changes to evaluate the effect of the Zhibian (BL54) through Shuidao (ST28) technique (ZS + POI group) on ovarian function. Then, nontargeted metabolomics was performed using rat serum by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF/MS). RESULTS: After acupuncture intervention, the serum hormone levels and ovarian pathological morphology of POI rats were effectively improved. Moreover, UPLC-Q-TOF/MS results showed that the ZS + POI group showed a significant reversal of the levels of 6 differential metabolites. Among them, the levels of four serum metabolic markers, divanillyltetrahydrofuran ferulate, trans-ferulic acid, tryptamine, and neuraminic acid, increased significantly. Further analysis of biological effects showed that all metabolites were involved in the regulation of reproductive hormone levels and antioxidant and antiapoptotic effects. CONCLUSIONS: The "Zhibian (BL54) through Shuidao (ST28)" acupuncture method may improve the ovarian function of POI rats by regulating serum metabolite markers to exert antioxidant and antiapoptotic effects, which provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of acupuncture in the treatment of POI.

To Set Up and Apply Hospital Monitoring Platform for Infectious Disease / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To set up the infectious disease monitoring platform upon the hospital information system(HIS).In order to study the infectious disease′s early discovery,early reporting,early therapy and early control,to improve the hospital′s capability of prevention and cure of the infectious disease,generally improving the medical treatment quality.METHODS The computer technic was used to auto-collect,save,process the patient′s information.RESULTS To realize the information be shared;play a role in real time effective monitor;to provide the basic information of medical treatment,scientific research,education and management.CONCLUSIONS Realizing the scientific,standardized,systematized management of hospital infectious disease is becoming an important part in the whole HIS as the hospital medical treatment control system.

Inhibition of morphine tolerance and dependence by LY274614, a competitive NMDA receptor antagonist / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective To investigate the effect of competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist LY274614 [(?)-6-phosphonomethyl-decahydroisoquinolin-3-carboxylic acid] on the development of morphine tolerance and dependence.Methods Male Spraque-Dawley rats were rendered tolerant and dependent by subcutaneous injection of morphine(15mg/kg body weight) three times a day for 10 consecutive days. LY274614 (2, 4, 6 mg/kg body weight) was also given subcutaneously by subcutaneous injection. Antinociception was measured by tail-flick (TF) test. Tail was exposed to the heat source(a beam of high intensity light). The time from the beginning of exposure to removal of tail from the path of the heat source was taken as latency. The baseline TF latency without medication was 4-5 seconds. A ten-second maximum exposure to the heat source was used to minimize damage to tissue during the multiple measurements. Morphine prolonged TF latency. With the development of tolerance TF latency gradually returned to baseline value. Physical dependence on morphine was assessed by abstinence syndrome precipitated by subcutaneous injecting naloxone 10 mg/kg on the tenth day. According to method of Blasig, the number of jumping/30min after naloxone injection was recorded as an index pf abstinence syndrome. Rats were randomly divided into 8 groups (n=6-8). Each group received morphine 15 mg/kg or normal saline (NS) 1.5 ml/kg+LY274614 (2.0,4.0,6.0 mg/kg) or NS, group 1: morphine+NS; group 2: NS+NS; group 3:morphine+LY274614 (2mg/kg); group 4: NS+LY274614 (2mg/kg); group 5: morphine+LY274614 (4mg/kg); group 6: NS+LY274614 (4mg/kg); group 7: morphine+LY274614 (6mg/kg); group 4: NS+LY274614 (6mg/kg).Results LY274614 itself did not have analgesic action, but if used with morphine, it did inhibit the development of tolerance. In group 5 and 7 the decrease in TF latency was more gradual than that in morphine+saline group. 4 and 6 mg/kg LY274614 reduced the number of jumping/30min following naloxone injection.Conclusions LY274614 can inhibit morphine tolerance and dependence rendered by consecutive subcutaneous morphine injection.
