Objective To study the curative effect and mechanism of moxibustion on heat-sensitive acupoints combined with Erwei Badu Powder in the treatment of elderly herpes zoster (HZ) with type of stagnant heat of liver channel. Methods Sixty-five patients with HZ were randomly divided into treatment group (35 cases) and control group (30 cases). Two groups were orally given Longdan Xiegan Decoction and aciclovir conventionally, the treatment group was given moxibustion additionally on heat-sensitive acupoints combined with Erwei Badu Powder, and the control group was only given external application of Erwei Badu Powder for 10 days. The symptom scores, levels of T lymphocyte subsets and serum interleukin-2 (IL-2) were observed before and after treatment, the curative effect was evaluated, and PHN was followed up. Results The effective rate was 85.71%(30/35) in the treatment group and 66.67%(20/30) in the control group. The curative effect of treatment group surpassed the control group (P<0.05). Incidence of PHN was lower (P<0.01). The levels of CD4, CD4/CD8, and IL-2 increased and the level of CD8 decreased significantly in two groups compared with those before treatment (P<0.05). All indexes were better in the treatment group than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The curative effect of moxibustion on heat-sensitive acupoints combined with Erwei Badu Powder in treatment of elderly HZ is better than that of Erwei Badu Powder only, particularly in reducing the occurrence of PHN, improving neuralgia and insomnia. The mechanism may be related to increasing levels of CD4, CD4/CD8 and IL-2, and improvement of body’s cell-mediated immunity.

Objective:To observe and compare the clinical curative effect and safety of topiramate,carbamazepine and sodium valproate on the epilepsy secondary to encephalitis.Methods:80 cases of patients with epilepsy secondary to encephalitis who were treated in our hospital from January 2010 to September 2015 were selected and divided into the topiramate group,carbamazepine group and sodium valproate group,which were treated with topiramate,carbamazepine and sodium valproate respectively.The treatment effect,congnitive scores (including executive function and visual space,name,language,abstract,attention,delayed memory,directional),adverse reaction rate of three groups were compared.Results:The effective rate oftopiramate group was the highest(80.65%,25/31),carbamazepine was the lowest (70.00%,21/30),but there was no significant difference between the three groups (P>0.05).After treatment,the scores of executive ability and visual spatial,naming,abstraction,attention,orientation,language in topiramate group were significantly higher than those of carbamazepine group and sodium valproate group (P<0.05);the incidence of adverse reactions of topiramate group was 12.90%,which was significantly lower than that of carbamazepine group (36.67%) and sodium valproate group (29.62%)(P < 0.05).Conclusions:Topiramate,carbamazepine and sodium valproate have equal therapeutic effect on epilepsy secondary to encephalitis,but topiramate had less adverse reactions and best safety.

Objective To explore optimized procedures and science decision-making methods for the triage in sanitary train and improve efficiency. Methods The work condition of triage was evaluated with queuing theory and mathematical models. Results The work of triage needs to be further optimized. The M/M/n model of queuing theory can improve efficiency, and then waiting-time that from triage site to specifically sickbed can be shorten consumedly. Conclusion The application and assistance decision on queuing theory in the triage can optimize organization plan and enhance work efficiency.

The demand of hospital car in first-aid and patients carrying is urgent in paroxysmal epidemic,disaster and wartime.According to types and characteristics of civil-train,many methods are used to rapidly refit civil-train to hospital car,such as rapid taking down devices from civil-train,installing medical appliances and unloading the device in the civil-train and auxiliaries.Based on analysis and comparison,YZ25G hard-seat train is the best one to refit from civil-train to hospital car.

Aim To explore the role of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate ( NADPH ) oxidase in high fat-induced injury in MIN6 isletβ cells. Methods MIN6 islet β cells were exposed to different concen-trations of palmitic acid ( 0. 1 , 0. 3 , 0. 5 , 0. 8 mmol · L-1 ) for 48 h and different time points of 0. 5 mmol· L-1 palmitic acid(24,48,72,96 h). Cell viability was measured by MTT, the protein expression of NADPH oxidase subunits such as p22 phox , p47 phox , p67 phox and gp91 phox and apoptosis related proteins such as Bcl-2 and Bax were determined by Western blot. Results MIN6 islet cells exposed to palmitic acid at 0. 5 mmol ·L-1 for 48 h showed a decrease in their viability and an increase in the expression of NADPH oxidase sub-units(p22phox、p47phox、p67phox and gp91phox) and Bax(P<0. 05 ) , while Bcl-2 expression was significantly re-duced. the pretreat with NADPH oxidase inhibitor di-phenyliodonium( DPI,10 μmol · L-1 ) significantly in-hibited high fat-induced Bcl-2 and Bax expression( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusion Activated NADPH oxidase might play an important role in the treatment of high fat-in-duced injury in MIN6 islet cells.

Objective To examine the application value of reticulocyte hemoglobin content (CHr)for diagnosing iron deficiency in premenopausal women.Methods The levels of CHr,hemoglobin (Hb), mean cellular volume(MCV),red cell distribution width (RDW) were measured on the ADVIA 120 (Bayer Diagnostics) automated hematology analyzer.Transferrin saturation (TS) and ferritin (SF) were measured on chemistry analyzer.Results CHr in iron deficiency without anemia group were significantly lower than that in the healthy control group (P<0.01)and significantly higher than that in iron deficiency anemia group(P<0.01).CHr in anemia of chronic disease group were significantly higher than that in iron deficiency anemia group(P<0.01).Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) analysis in diagnosis of iron dificiency without anemia demonstrated that the area under the curve for CHr,SF,RDW,MCV,Hb were 0.872,0.798,0.721,0.713,0.677,respectively (P<0.01).So CHr has a better overall sensitivity than SF,Hb,MCV and RDW in the diagnosis of iron deficiency without anemia.ROC also showed that the area under the curve for Hb,RDW,CHr,SF and MCV was 1.000,0.969,0.958,0.953 and 0.926,respectively (P<0.01) in iron deficiency anemia.Conclusion CHr is the early and sensitive predictor of iron deficiency in premenopausal women,especially for the diagnosis of iron deficiency without anemia.

Aim: To study the pharmacokinetic effects of salvianolic acid B( Sal B) on danshensu( DSS) in Danshen injection in rats. MGthod: Following the intravenous administration of Danshen injection and Danshen injection added with Sal B to rats, the plasma kinetic study, tissue distribution and urine excretion were studied. The plasma kinetic study was also investigated by giving DSS and DSS in combination with Sal B to rats. Plasma, tissue and urine drug levels of danshensu were analyzed by LC-MS. Results: Compared with danshensu given alone, no significant difference of the pharmacokinetic behavior of danshensu was found when danshensu was given in combination with salvianolic acid B. However, compared with Danshen injection given alone, the pharmacokinetic behavior of danshensu changed remarkably when Danshen injection was given in combination with salvianolic acid B which might be caused by the decrease of DSS in kidney distribution and urine excretion. Conclusion: The pharmacokinetic effects of salvianolic acid B on danshensu depend on the existence of multiple components in Danshen injection. Results suggest that the pharmacokinetic interactions of the multiple components are closely related to the integrity of herbal medicines.
