Objective: To analyze the risk factors on acute respiratory dysfunction caused death in patients after type A aortic dissection surgery.
Methods: A total of 223 patients who received aorta replacement surgery in our hospital from 2010-01 to 2012-12 were retrospectively studied. 80 patients suffered from post-operative acute respiratory dysfunction including 61 male and 19 female with the mean age of (49.2 ± 11.6) years. Those patients were divided into 2 groups as Death group, n=18 and Survival group, n=62. We analyzed the most relevant risk factors for death, such as gender, age, histories of smoking, diabetes, hypertension, Marfan syndrome;pre-operative acute or chronic dissection, hypoxemia, mal-perfusion, LVEDD and LVEF;CPB time, aortic-clamping time;post-operative ICU retention time, mechanical ventilation time, permanent neurologic dysfunction, pulmonary infection, MACE, renal failure, hypohepatia, septicemia and wound mal-healing, et al.
Results: The early post-operative (< 3 days) respiratory dysfunction rate was 35.8% and the mortality was 22.5%(18/80). The relevant risk factors of death included female gender (P=0.019), haemorrhage (P<0.01), mechanical ventilation time (P=0.011), permanent neurologic dysfunction (P=0.013), pulmonary infection (P=0.001), MACE (P=0.022), renal failure (P<0.01), hypohepatia (P<0.01) and septicemia (P=0.001). Female gender and renal failure were the independent risk factors for respiratory dysfunction caused death in patients after type A aortic dissection surgery.
Conclusion: The occurrence and mortality were high in patients after type A aortic dissection surgery especially in those with female gender and post-operative renal failure.

The modern literatures on the diseases treated with acupuncture at Shenmen (HT 7) were collected. Using literature statistical analysis in bibliometrics, the common compatibility of Shenmen (HT 7) and the disease spectrum were analyzed so as to provide the references of the diseases that can be treated with acupuncture at Shenmen (HT 7). It was found that 39 kinds of diseases and symptoms, mainly nerve system disedses, could be treated with acupuncture at Shenmen (HT 7), including insomnia, depression, anxiety and dementia. Shenmen (HT 7) was seldom used alone. Instead, it was commonly used along with Baihui (GV 20), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Neiguan (PC 6), Sishencong (EX-HN 1) and Taicong (LR 3).

Meridian and collateral theory is the core of acupuncture theory. Simple using the syndrome differentiation system of internal medicine of TCM in clinical practice of acupuncture and moxibustion is difficult to reflect the core of acupuncture theories and characters of clinical acupuncture treatment. The establishment of clinical syndrome differentiation system of acupuncture should base on characters and laws of acupuncture and take the syndrome differentiation according to meridian and collateral theories as main body, syndrome differentiation according to location as key, syndrome differentiation according to eight principles as guidance, syndrome differentiation according to zang-fu theory as complementarity, and pay attention to application of acupoint specificity in clinic, so as to reflect unique character of acupuncture theory and insure the veracity of syndrome differentiation of acupuncture and efficacy of acupuncture treatment.

Through review of the major databases in English and Chinese, it is found that there is an absence of articles on special coverage of compliance of research fellows and testees in acupuncture clinical trials. Therefore, the author proposed (1) The compliance of research fellows should be guaranteed through proper work division with reasonable, standard and strict research designation as well as comprehensive systems of selection, supervision and estimation. (2) The compliance of testees should be guaranteed through enhancing of the right to know, improving of the medical environment and constructing a better doctor-patient relationship. Therefore, the compliance of clinical trials can be improved, the quality of clinical research enhanced and the reliability of the research results can be guaranteed.

OBJECTIVETo observe response characteristics of human brain to acupuncture of corresponding channel point selection and probe into the central nervous mechanism of acupuncture at the points selected along channel.
METHODSSix cases of chronic migraine were treated with acupuncture at Fengchi (GB 20), Waiguan (TE 5), Yang-lingquan (GB 34) on the Shaoyang Channel. Positron emission computerized tomography (PET-CT) was used for scanning and statistic parameter map (SPM 2) software was used to analyze the data and compare with healthy human brain function imaging and investigate the changes of metabolism of glucose in the brain of the patient of migraine before and after acupuncture.
RESULTSAfter acupuncture, excitation areas of the pain brain regions such as the brain stem, insula, etc. obviously reduced, and the brain function-reducing area turned from the right temporal lobe as main to bilateral temporal lobes with symmetry.
CONCLUSIONThe pons, insula, anterior frontal gyrus, etc. possibly are the target points of analgesic effect of acupuncture at the Shaoyang Channel on chronic migraine, and the change of metabolism reduction on bilateral temporal lobes induced by acupuncture possibly is one of the mechanisms for acu-puncture at points on the Shaoyang Channel for treatment of migraine. Acupuncture achieves whole and beneficial therapeutic effect possibly through coordination and redistribution of energy metabolism in the brain.
