[Effect of needling at Jiaji (EX-B 2) on motor dysfunction in patients with Parkinson's disease of liver and kidney deficiency: a randomized controlled trial].

Objective: To compare the curative effect of needling at Jiaji (EX-B 2) combined with western medication and western medication alone on motor dysfunction in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) of liver and kidney deficiency.

Methods: A total of 98 patients with PD were randomly divided into an acupuncture and medication group (49 cases, 1 case dropped off) and a western medication group (49 cases,1 case was removed). The patients in the western medication group were given oral of levodopa and benserazide hydrochloride tablets, 125 mg each time, three times a day in the 1st week, and the dose was increased according to the needs of the patients' condition from the 2nd week until 250 mg each time, three times a day, for 16 consecutive weeks.

ESRP1 Induces Cervical Cancer Cell G1-Phase Arrest Via Regulating Cyclin A2 mRNA Stability.

Accumulating evidence indicates that epithelial splicing regulatory protein 1 (ESRP1) can inhibit the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), thus playing a central role in regulating the metastatic progression of tumors. However, it is still not clear whether ESRP1 directly influences the cell cycle, or what the possible underlying molecular mechanisms are. In this study, we showed that ESRP1 protein levels were significantly correlated with the Ki-67 proliferative index ( = -0.

Astaxanthin Combine with Human Serum Albumin to Abrogate Cell Proliferation, Migration, and Drug-resistant in Human Ovarian Carcinoma SKOV3 Cells.

Background: Astaxanthin (AST) shows a large range of beneficial effects together with anti-cancer and antioxidation properties. Human Serum Albumin (HSA) is the most abundant protein in blood plasma which plays the role of a depot and transport protein for many exogenous compounds. However, whether HSA could enhance AST-induced cytotoxic effects in human ovarian cancer cells has not been examined to date.

[Clinical observation on scalp point injection to improve the cerebral microcirculation for children of early cerebral palsy].

Objective: To explore an effective therapy for children of early cerebral palsy.

Methods: One hundred and twenty cases were randomly divided into an acupoint injection group and a medication group, 60 cases in each group. The acupoint injection group was treated with scalp point injection of 0.

[Clinical observation on isolated electroacupuncture for treatment of peripheral facial paralysis].

Objective: To study on therapeutic effect of isolated electroacupuncture on peripheral facial paralysis.

Methods: One hundred cases were randomly divided into an observation group of 60 cases and a control group of 40 cases. The observation group were treated by isolated electroacupuncture and the control group by normal electroacupuncture.
