Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture plus muscle energy technique (MET) in treating upper crossed syndrome (UCS).Method Forty UCS patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 20 cases in each group. The control group was intervened by electroacupuncture, while the treatment group was treated with MET to relax and regulate the cervical and shoulder muscles in addition to electroacupuncture. The two groups were treated once a day, for 3 weeks in total. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Neck Disability Index (NDI), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were observed before and after the intervention, and the clinical efficacies were compared between the two groups.Result After the treatment, the VAS, NDI, HAMD, and PSQI scores were significantly changed in both groups (P<0.05). The scores of all parameters in the treatment group were significantly different from those in the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 95.0% in the treatment group versus 85.0% in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Electroacupuncture plus MET can improve the pain, depression, sleep disorder, and the quality of life of UCS patients.

Objective To summarize the initial application of three dimensional angiography(3D angio) in the diagnosis of carotid stenosis and carotid stenting.Methods 23 patients with carotid stenosis confirmed by conventional angiography (two dimensional angiography, 2D Angio) received 3D Angio including 16 accepted both 2D Angio and 3D Angio before and after carotid stenting and then undengone comparative study. Results 32 stenosed lesions were found, including 5 in common carotid artery, 19 in neck section of internal carotid artery, 3 in patrous section, 2 in caverous sinus and 3 in middle cerebral artery. 3D Angio could demonstrate the changes of stenosed segment from every point of view. The degree and extent of stenosis could be accuratly evaluated. The characterization of lesions including the diminution of lumen and coarse plaques could be clearly displayed. After stenting, the wall of stenosed segment became smooth and the plaques disappeared.Conclusions The diagnosis and treatment of carotid stenosis by 3D Angio is helpful to accurately estimate the extent of stenosis, the characterization of the lesions and monitor the results of stenting.

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the blood concentration monitoring data of 4 commonly used antiepileptic drugs(AEDs, sodium phenytoin,carbamazepine,sodium valproic acid,oxcarbazepine)in order to provide reference for rational use of drugs in the clinic. METHODS:415 patients underwent 4 AEDs blood concentration monitoring were selected from our hospital during 2014-2015,and the results of blood concentration monitoring were analyzed statistically. RESULTS:There were 680 cases of AE-Ds blood concentration monitoring in total. The main objects of serum concentration monitoring were young and middle-aged(range from 19 to 60),involving 449 cases in total(66.03%). 360 cases were in the normal range(52.94%). Among 361 patients receiving single drug therapy,the rates of serum concentration in the normal range were 80.77%for carbamazepine,which was higher than oth-er 3 AEDs(30.00% for sodium phenytoin,47.40% for sodium valproic acid and 40.38% for oxcarbazepine),with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05). Among 54 patients receiving combination therapy,the serum concentration monitoring data of 67.65%patients treat-ed with double-combination therapy and 100%patients treated with triple-combination therapy deviated from normal range. CONCLU-SIONS:The rate of AEDs blood concentration reaching the normal range are in low level in our hospital. It’s necessary to strengthen medication education for patients to improve the compliance of patients;clinical efficacy of AEDs is evaluated on the basis of blood concentration monitoring and clinical symptom,and combination therapy should be avoided as much as possible.

Objective To study the changes in the percentage of CD+4 CD+25 regulatory T (Tr) cells in peripheral blood and deciduas in unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA) patients, normal non-pregnant and pregnant women respectively. Methods The percentage of CD+4 CD+25 Tr cells in deciduas and peripheral blood from 25 URSA patients, 22 normal non-pregnant (NNP) women, and 34 normal early pregnant (NP) women were measured by double-staining followed by flow cytometric analysis. Results (1) The percentage of CD+4 CDbright25 T cells in peripheral blood in both URSA and NP [ ( 1.55±0.77 ) %, (2. 65±1.10)%, respectively] women were increased significantly than that in NNP women [ (0. 39± 0.14)% P<0.05]. The percentage of CD+4 CDbright25 T cells in peripheral blood in URSA women was significantly lower than that in NP women (P<0.05 ). (2) The percentage of CD+4 CDbright25 T cells in decidua in URSA women was significantly lower than that in NP women [ ( 0. 59±0. 23 ) %, ( 1.24 ± 0. 55)%, respectively, P <0. 01 ]. There was no significant difference in the percentage of CD+4 CDdim25 T cells in decidua between URSA women and NP women [ (4. 23±1.52)%, (3.75±1.88)%, respectively, P>0.05]. (3) The proportion of CD+4 CDbright25/CD+4 cells in deeiduas was significantly higher than that in peripheral blood in NP women [(13. 10±10. 25 ) %, ( 5.59±2.62 ) %, respectively, P < 0. 05 ] . However, a significant difference in the proportion of CD+4 CDbright25/CD+4 between decidua and peripheral blood was not found in URSA patients [ (5. 16±2. 83 ) %, ( 4. 64±2. 07 ) %, respectively, P>0.05)].Conclusions The number of CD+4 CD+25 Tr cells is increased in normal pregnancy and decreased in URSA. Therefore, CD+4 CD+25 Tr cells may play an important role in maintaining maternal-fetal tolerance and may be involved in the pathogenesis of URSA.

Objective To investigate the value of percutaneous balloon dilation and percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage (PTCD) catheter maintenance in the treatment of benign biliary strictures.Methods The clinical data of 21 patients with benign biliary strictures at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from June 2005 to June 2011 were retrospectively studied,in which 12 patients in severe stricture (stenosis ＞ 70％ ) were treated with percutaneous balloon dilation and PTCD catheter placed across the stricture,while another 9 patients in median stricture( stenosis ＜ 70％ ) were only treated with PTCD catheter maintenance.Results Of the 12 patients underwent balloon dilation and 6-12 months ( median:9 months)of PTCD catheter placement,11 patients had the catheter successfully removed.In the follow-up of 6-24months ( median:10 months),patency of bile duct was preserved in 9 of 11 patients,and recurrent stenosis was seen in 2 patients.A severe complication with biliary artery branch rupture and massive hemobilia was seen in 1 patient during balloon dilation.Of the 9 patients only treated with 1-12 months (median:6months) of PTCD catheter placement,7 patients had the catheter successfully removed.In the follow-up of 5-18 months (median:8 months),patency of bile duct was preserved in 5 of 7 patients,and recurrent stenosis was seen in 2 patients.No severe complication occurred.Conclusions When endoscopy therapy is failed or the patient can't undergo endoscopy therapy,the percutaneous balloon dilation and PTCD catheter maintenance method is an effective alternative therapeutic approach in the treatment of benign biliary strictures.The moderate benign biliary stricture may be effectively treated only by the PTCD catheter maintenance method.

Objective: To observe the distribution of occupational activity disorders of extremely severe mass burn patients in recovery period after injury. Methods: From December 2014 to December 2015, 65 extremely severe burn patients conforming to the inclusion criteria involved in August 2 Kunshan factory aluminum dust explosion accident were admitted to Kunshan Rehabilitation Hospital. They received comprehensive rehabilitation treatment after burns, including wearing pressure clothes, ultrasound treatment, semiconductor laser and red light irradiation, motor function training, and so on. Over 2 years after injury, a cross-sectional survey was conducted on the patients′ occupational activity disorders. Modified Barthel index (MBI) was used to assess the degree of activities of daily living (ADL) disorder of patients and to grade the independent level of completing each item of MBI, and then the independent level of patients completing self-care MBI items (bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, going to the toilet, urine control, and stool control) was compared with that of mobility items (going up and down stairs, bed and chair transfer, and walking). The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) was used to assess the distribution of occupational activity disorders of patients. The distribution of the five most serious occupational activity disorders was counted, then the frequency and probability of which with frequency greater than or equal to 16 times were calculated. Data were processed with Pearson Chi-square test. Results: Over 2 years after injury, the MBI score of patients was (76±22) points, and the ADL of 83.08% (54/65) patients reached completely self-care or light ADL disorder level. The MBI items arranged according to the completing independent level of patients from high to low were urine control/stool control, walking, bed and chair transfer, going up and down stairs, going to the toilet, eating, grooming, dressing, and bathing. The independent level of patients completing self-care MBI items was lower than that of mobility items (χ²=62.298, P<0.001). Over 2 years after injury, the five most serious occupational activity disorders in COPM dimension were mainly concentrated in the self-care dimension, accounting for 55.38% (180/325), followed by 22.46% (73/325) of production activities and 22.15% (72/325) of recreational activities, and the centrally distributed item was the personal self-care item under self-care dimension, accounting for 42.46% (138/325). Over 2 years after injury, the five most serious occupational activity disorders with frequency greater than or equal to 16 times were dressing and undressing, bathing, perineal cleaning, wearing pressure clothes, caring for children, visiting relatives and friends, 31, 25, 16, 17, 18, and 22 times respectively, with a probability of 47.69%, 38.46%, 24.62%, 26.15%, 27.69%, and 33.85% respectively. Conclusions: Over 2 years after injury, most of the patients with extremely severe burns caused by the aluminum dust explosion were completely or basically self-care in their daily life. The disorder of self-care ADL was more serious than that of mobility, and the disorder of individual self-care activity was still the most serious occupational activity disorder of patients in this stage.

Objective:To preliminarily discuss the difference of ovary anti-miillerian hormone ( AMH) when cyclophosphamide is used in different time during menstrual cycle .Methods:Totally 30 young female patients with average age of (36 ±6.39) diagnosed as glomerular disease were treated with cyclophosphamide .According to the medication time , the patients were divided into follicular phase group and secretory phase group based on the property of menstrual cycle .Follicular phase group was treated with cyclophospha-mide during the first day and the eighth day of menstrual cycle .Secretory phase group was treated with cyclophosphamide after ovulato-ry time, namely the 14th day-the 16th day of menstrual cycle.AMH was detected before the drug treatment and 1st, 3rd, 6th and 10th cycles after cyclophosphamide treatment in the two groups .Results: AMH in the five periods had no statistic difference between the groups (P>0.05).There was significant difference in AMH before the treatment and after one-month treatment in the same group(P<0.05).AMH in different age groups showed statistic difference (P<0.05).Conclusion:There is no significant difference in AMH when cyclophosphamide is administrated in different time of menstrual cycle .However , ovarian function is impaired just by low dose cyclophosphamide (0.8g) with the first administration and will be recovered slowly at least half a year after the drug withdrawal .

Objective: To analyze the current situation and needs of primary and secondary school health clinic services, and to provide a reference for strengthening school health service in China. Methods: Investigation provinces were selected according to China s three major economic zones, 1 or 2 survey centers were selected from each province, 16 provinces and 26 survey centers were selected. In each survey centers, six schools from primary and secondary schools, junior high schools and high schools in urban and rural areas were randomly selected as research sites. Each research site randomly selected 10 students in each grade(grade three, four, five from primary schools) to fill in the questionnaire anonymously. A total of 4 661 valid questionnaires were collected. Results: Among the services provided by the school clinics to students, "trauma treatment" "consulting health problems" "physical examination" accounted for 49.4%, 40.5% and 39.0% respectively. Within the past one year, 45.1% students went to the school clinic for consultation or consultation 1-3 times, 6.4% for 4-5 times, and 3.7% for 6 times or more. When students were sick in school, 65.8%(primary school), 64.0%(junior high school), and 54.4%(high school) of them selected to go to the school clinic. When suddenly suffered trauma in school, 78.2%(primary school), 73.2%(junior high school) and 69.6%(high school) of the students went to the school clinic. Conclusion Primary and middle school students have a great demand for school health services, and it is necessary to continue to strengthen the construction of primary and secondary school health clinics.

Objective To explore the effect of iron overload on the outcomes of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) patiems with non-hepatitis related severe aplastic anemia (SAA).Methods The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed for 98 patients with non-hepatitis related SAA undergoing allo-HSCT from July 2012 to late July 2018 at a single center.Serum ferritin (SF) was measured within 2 momhs before HSCT.They were divided into iron overload (SF＞800.0 ng/ml,n =49) and control (SF＜800.0 ng/ml,n =49) groups according to SF level.Overall survival (OS),hematopoietic reconstitution and common complications after allo-HSCT were analyzed.Results The median pre-transplantation SF value was 798.7 (52.0-11060.01) ng/ml.Patients with pre-transplantation iron overload had a higher incidence of cytomegaloviremia (P =0.041),delayed recovery of neutrophil/platelet (P =0.001,P =0.005 respectively) and transfusion-dependence in donor-recipient blood group-matched patients (P =0.043) after allo-HSCT.The 3-year OS was (65.1 ± 7.1) ％ in iron overload group and (93.3 ± 3.7) ％ in control group (P =0.001).Multivariate analysis indicated that 3-year OS was independently correlated with pre-transplantation iron overload (P =0.022),blood group of donor & recipient (P =0.015),early bacteremia (P=0.003) and cytomegaloviremia (P =0.003).Conclusions Iron overload is common in patients with non-hepatitis-related SAA before transplantation.Pre-transplantation iron overload has a significant impact on OS,hematopoietic reconstitution and cytomegaloviremia after allo

Objective: To evaluate the prognostic significance of early phase full donor chimerism (FDC) after myeloablative allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (allo-PBSCT). Methods: The clinical data of 72 hematological patients received myeloablative allo-PBSCT from Feb. 2016 to Jul. 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. The median age was 36.5 years (range 4-59), 44 were males and 28 females. Of the donors, there were 35 HLA matched sibling donors, 27 haploidentical donors and 10 unrelated donors. Polymerase chain reaction amplification of short tandem repeat sequence (PCR-STR) was used to detect donor cell chimerism (DC) rate of recipient bone marrow at one, two and three months after transplantation. Results: The median follow-up was 462 d (range: 47-805 d), 55 cases were still alive, and 45 cases were disease-free survival (DFS) at the end of follow-up. The 2-year overall survival (OS) and DFS were (68.9±7.7)% and (59.5±6.3)%, respectively. A number of 16 cases underwent relapses, with 2-year cumulative incidence of (24.1±5.3)%. The median time of recurrence was 157(32-374) d. Forty cases (55.6%) developed acute graft-versus-host diseases (aGVHD), with median time of 35.5 (13-90) d. Chronic GVHD (cGVHD) occurred in 23 patients (31.9%), with median time of 169 (94-475) d. Univariate analysis found the following factors were not related to OS, DFS or relapse rate (RR), including age, sex, blood type and sex of donor-recipient, occurrence of aGVHD and cGVHD. The OS and DFS in cases reached FDC and no FDC at two months after transplantation were (85.2±6.9)% vs (66.1±7.7)% (P=0.051) and (76.7±7.7)% vs (48.9±8.1)% (P=0.021), respectively. The RR rate in FDC group was lower than that in no FDC group [(16.6±6.8)% vs (30.4±7.8)%, P=0.187, respectively]. Conclusion The present study confirmed the important value for predicting the prognosis with whether or not the patients reached FDC at the early phase after allo-PBSCT. The OS and DFS in cases with FDC at two months after transplantation were significantly higher than those of no FDC patients.
