Effect of electroacupuncture on neuronal programmed necrosis by regulating RIP1/RIP3/MLKL pathway in rats with cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury.

Objectives: To investigate the neuroprotective effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at "Quchi"(LI11) and "Zusanli"(ST36) in the rats with cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury and its influence on programmed necrosis of cerebral cortical neurons.

Methods: Sixty male SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group, model group, EA group and inhibitor group, with 15 rats in each group. Left middle cerebral artery occlusion model was established using the modified thread embolism method.

[Effect of electroacupuncture of Governor Vessel on expression of GAD67 and GABA-T in cerebral cortex of rats with post-stroke limb spasticity].

Objective: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) of Governor Vessel (GV) on the expressions of glutamate decarboxylase 67 (GAD67) and γ-aminobutyric acid transaminase (GABA-T) in the cerebral cortex of rats with post-stroke limb spasticity, so as to explore its mechanism underlying improvement of limb spasticity.

Methods: Twenty four male SD rats were randomly and equally divided into control, sham operation, model, and EA groups. The cerebral ischemia model was established by occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCAO).

[Effects of organic manure partial substitution for chemical fertilizer on the photosynthetic rate, nitrogen use efficiency and yield of rice].

Rational application of organic fertilizers is an effective approach to improve soil fertility, crop yield, and zero growth of chemical fertilizer in agricultural production. The rice variety 'Shennong9816' was planted in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, under seven different treatments: zero nitrogen fertilizer (CK), low nitrogen, 150 kg·hm(LN), medium nitrogen, 240 kg·hm (MN), high nitrogen, 330 kg·hm(HN), medium nitrogen with replacement of chemical N by 10% organic manure (OMN), medium nitrogen with replacement of chemical N by 20% organic manure (OMN), and medium nitrogen with replacement of chemical N by 30% organic manure (OMN). The effects of different treatments on photosynthetic rate, nitrogen absorption, nitrogen use efficiency, and yield were examined and the optimal fertilization scheme was determined.

[Impact of artificial reef on community of macrobenthos in Jincheng area of Laizhou Bay, China].

In order to evaluate the impact of artificial reef on the communities of macrobenthos, from 2009 to 2012, samples were collected in four seasons at the artificial reef area and the control area in Jincheng area of Laizhou Bay from 9 cruises. A total of 35 macrobenthos species (4 phyla, 30 families) were recorded in the two areas, with 30 species in the artificial reef area, and 27 species in the control area. Results suggested that the two macrobenthos communities with different species composition could be discriminated.

[Regulatory effect of electroacupuncture on heart and stomach of rats].

Objective: To explore different regulatory effects of electroacupuncture (EA) at the same acupoint on the heart and the stomach.

Methods: Eighty male SD rats were randomly divided into eight groups equally, i.e.

[Observation on the efficacy of female obesity complicated with climacteric syndrome treated by acupuncture and moxibustion].

Objective: To observe the efficacy of acupuncture and moxibustion on female obesity complicated with climacteric syndrome and its impact factors.

Methods: One hundred and fifty-one cases of female obesity complicated with climacteric syndrome were treated according to the basic principle as "pattern/syndrome differentiation". Accordingly, the reinforcing or reducing technique was applied at Quchi (LI 11), Zhongwan (CV 12), Tianshu (ST 25), Daheng (SP 15), Zusanli (ST 36), Shangjuxu (ST 37), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Neiting (ST 44), etc.

[Overview of the two-way regulatory effect of acupuncture on gastrointestinal motility].

Relative literatures on the two-way regulatory eltect ot acupuncture on gastrointestInal muiiiity 01 inc recent 20 years were retrieVed in CNKI. Researches on effects of acupuncture on electrical activity of the gastric muscle, and mechanism of nerve and humor were summarized. And the result shows that the two-way regulatory effect of acupuncture on gastrointestinal motility function which eventually causes the recovery of gastrointestinal function, is a benign regulation reached by relative antagonism and inter-coordination of the neural, endocrine and immunity in all aspects.

[Effect of bismuth glycyrrhizate on experimental gastric ulcers and its mechanisms].

Objective: To investigate the ulcer-preventive effect of bismuth glycyrrhizate on experimental gastric ulcer and its mechanisms.

Method: Three kinds of model animals with experimental gastric ulcer were established and gastric mucosal injuries were induced by pyloric ligation in rats, applying ethanol in rats and imposing stress in mice, respectively. The rats were divided into experimental groups treated with bismuth glycyrrhizat 700, 350, 175 mg kg(-1), positive control group treated with cimetidine (200 mg kg(-1), and negative control group treated with 0.
