[Clinical effect of electroacupuncture at Baihui and Shuigou points in treatment of brain injury in patients with sepsis-associated encephalopathy].

Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of electroacupuncture at Baihui (GV20) and Shuigou (GV26) points in the treatment of brain injury in patients with sepsis-associated encephalopathy(SAE).

Methods: A total of 70 patients with SAE were randomly divided into control group and treatment group, with 35 patients in each group. The patients in the control group were given routine western medicine treatment, including anti-infective therapy, nerve nutrition, and mechanical ventilation, and those in the treatment group were given electroacupuncture at GV20 and GV26 in addition to the treatment in the control group.

[Polymorphism in intron 2 of crucian carp GH I gene].

High length and nucleotide polymorphisms in intron2 of GH I gene were detected in 162 individuals,which were from seven wild crucian carp colonies, two goldfish colonies and one Fangzheng crucian carp colony. Using denaturating polyareylamide gel electrophoresis (DPAGE) and single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP), seven length variants and 15 haplotypes were identified in these fishes. The length types and haplotypes diversity was 4.
