OFQ was originally isolated from brain, but the presence of OFQ in peripheral tissues, especially in cardiovascular system, has not been clarified. The present study was designed to investigate the peripheral tissue distribution of OFQ precusor mRNA in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) and compare the difference of OFQ precusor mRNA expression in aorta or cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) between SHRSP and wistar-Kyoto normotensive (WKY) rats. By using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), OFQ precusor mRNA was detected in aorta and ovary at high levels comparable with the amounts found in brain. Moderate expression was found in testis, while a little OFQ precusor mRNA could be detected in atrium. All other peripheral tissues examined from SHRSP, including ventricle, liver, lung and kidney, showed no expression of OFQ precusor mRNA. In the vascular system, OFQ precusor mRNA was expressed in aorta, pulmonary artery, renal artery and vein at high levels comparable with the amounts found in brain. We also found that OFQ precusor mRNA levels were much higher in aorta or cultured VSMCs from SHRSP than those from WKY rats. In conclusion, the present study has shown that OFQ precusor mRNA is present in some peripheral tissues, especially in cardiovascular and reproductive system, suggesting that OFQ possibly involves in the regulation of cardiovascular and reproductive functions.展开更多

Methods： A total of 154 cases with post-stroke insomnia were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group by the random digital table, 77 cases in each group. The control group was treated by auricular acupoint sticking, while the observation group was treated by auricular acupoint sticking plus music therapy, to compare the clinical effects at the end of the treatment and three months after the treatment between the two groups. Results： At the end of treatment, the total effective rate was 98.7% in the observation group, remarkably higher than 89.6% in the control group, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups （P〈0.05）. Three months after the end of the treatment, the total effective rate was 90.9% in the observation group, remarkably higher than 80.5% in the control group, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Auricular acupoint sticking plus music therapy was affirmative in the clinical effects for post-stroke insomnia, providing a new idea to design a best nursing and rehabilitative plan for the patients with post-stroke insomnia.展开更多
