Objective To investigate the analgesic effect of auto-moxibostion on lumbar vertebral osteoarthritis? Methods Sixty patients with lumbar vertebral osteoarthritis were randomized equally into the control group and observation group by a random digits table: the former group received routine nursing care and the latter was intervened with auto-moxibustion together with routine nursing care? The curative effects were appraised by short-form of McGill pain questionnaire? Result The curative effect in the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group(P < 0?05)? Conclusions The auto-moxibustion is effective for the analgesia of lumbar vertebral osteoarthritis? The right management of medication and detained medicine is helpful for the increased effect of auto-moxibustion?

Objective To establish a multiplex loop-mediated isothermal amplification(mLAMP)method for simultaneous detection of Salmonella,Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VPH)and Listeria monocytogenes (LM).Methods Three sets of mLAMP primers were designed to specifically target bcfD of Salmonella and tlh of VPH and iap of LM.The respective single LAMP assay of the three kinds of bacteria was developed,and the ratio of primer concentration was optimized to develop a multiplex LAMP system.The specificity and sensitivity of multiplex LAMP were observed.Results Turbidity monitoring results in real time suggests that the mLAMP was highly specific and amplification could be obtained within 45 min under isothermal conditions.The sensitivity of this mLAMP was found to be 300 fg/μl genomic DNAs for Salmonella and 4.2 pg/μl for VPH and 4.5 pg/μl for LM,which was consistent with conventional PCR.Conclusion The mLAMP described can potentially facilitate simultaneous detection of three kinds of bacteria in a large number of food samples, which could be used as a primary screening method and as a supplement to classical detection methods.

Objective To establish a polymerase spiral reaction (PSR) method for rapid detection of influenza A/H1N1 virus.Methods Six sets of primers were designed for influenza A/H1N1 virus HA gene, and the results were determined with real time kinetic turbidimetric assay and colorimetry method.Results and Conclusion The best primers were selected from six sets of primers, and the best temperature was determined as 65 degrees Celsius.Further experiments showed that the best primer had good specificity for detection of influenza A/H1N1 virus,without cross reactions with 14 other respiratory tract pathogenic nucleic acids.The sensitivity was up to 100 copies,and consistent with that of PCR.So a PSR method is established for rapid detection of the influenza A/H1N1 virus, which is simple, quick, highly specific and sensitive,and especially applicable to field and grass-roots units.
