Objective To investigate retrospectively the long-term results of discectomy for patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation. Methods From July 1988 to May 2003, 273 cases of 1040 patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation undergone surgical treatment in our hospital were followed up. All patients were divided three groups according the time of follow-up. The follow-up time was three years as middle follow-up group (Ⅰ), five years as longer follow-up group(Ⅱ) and ten years and more as sup-longer follow-up group (Ⅲ). Sixty-eight cases(24.91%) were in group Ⅰ, including 42 males and 26 females, with the average age of 43.7 years (14-63 years). The group Ⅱ included 141 cases (51.65%), 92 males and 49 females, with the average age of 46.1 years (18-76 years). As group ⅡⅢ, 64 cases (23.44%) were included 46 males and 18 females, with the average age of 43.5 years (20-63 years). The standards Scoring System of Chinese Spinal Association (CSA) and Japan Orthopaedic Association (JOA) were used for investigation. Results According to CSA system, the total good and excellent rate of surgical treatment for lumbar intervertebral disc herniation was 89.0%. The percentage of the satisfactory of the group Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ were 92.6%, 91.5% and 79.7% respectively. There was significant difference between group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ, Ⅲ. The score of JOA were 24.75±5.08, 22.43±6.55, 21.64±7.18 postoperatively, with significant difference between group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ, Ⅲ. Conclusion The mid-term results of surgery for patients with lumbar iutervertebral disc herniation is good, and the good and excellent rate decreases gradually with the follow-up time. The results were similar to each other for evaluation between the standard of CSA and JOA.

Aim To investigate the effect of genistein ( GEN) against Aβ( 25 -35 )-induced PC12 cells in regulation of Fas pathway through the activation of JNK. Methods Aβ( 25 -35 )-induced PC12 cells model was established. MTT and fluorescence activated cell sorting to analyze cell viability and apoptotic rate. Fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect Fas apoptotic pathways related gene Fas, FasL, caspase-3 and caspase-8 mRNA relative expression. Spectropho-tometry was used to detect caspase-3 and caspase-8 en-zyme activity. Western blot was adopted to detect JNK and p-JNK protein expression level changes. Results GEN attenuated Aβ( 25-35 )-induced upregulation of Fas and FasL, caspase-3 and caspase-8 mRNA lev-el, caspase-3 and caspase-8 enzyme activity, and sig-nificantly reduced Aβ(25-35) induced JNK phospho-rylation level. Conclusion GEN can protect PC12 cells from Aβ(25-35)-induced apoptosis via reducing Aβ( 25 -35 )-induced phosphorylation of JNK activa-tion, and then inhibit the JNK dependent Fas apoptotic pathway.

Purpose:Clinical research has been done to show whether continuous infusion of navelbine can increase curative effect and decrease toxicity.Methods:Patients studied were non operable NSCLC and recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. Navelbine is given through a catheter in the venae subclavia by continuous infusion for 24 hours. Regimen:NVB 10 mg/iv/day 1+NVB 10 mg/iv continuous infusion 24 h/day 1—5+DDP 40 mg/iv 2h/day 1—3+Gransetron 3 mg/iv day1,3,5 given every 21 days. Results:Among 47 patients 35 patients were NSCLC and 12 patients were breast cancer. Average age was 58.9 years. Of the NSCLC patients, 12 were squamous cell carcinoma and 23 patients were adenocarcinoma; two patients were stage Ⅱ and 19 patients stage Ⅲ, 19 patients stage Ⅳ. All of the breast cancer cases were infiltrative duct carcinoma. Three patients were stage Ⅱ and nine patients were stage Ⅳ. Of the 47 patients, 44 patients were evaluable for response and 47 patients for toxicity. Response rate of NSCLC was 57%(19 pr) and breast cancer 63% (1 cr, 6 pr). Main toxicity was granulocytopenia and vomiting. WHO Ⅲ—Ⅳ grade granulocytopenia was 40% and vomiting 6.4%. Peripheral nerves toxicity was mild and only 6.4% patients had WHO I grade peripheral sensory nerve damage. No patients had severe nerve toxicity such as enteroplegia.Conclusions:Comparison of continuous infusion Navelbine and Cisplatin with classic usage of navelbine for management of NSCLC and breast cancer showed increased response rate and decreased toxicity. Administration through catheter venae subclavia can avoid chemo phlebitis. [

ObjectiveTo understand the mortality trends among residents of Fuling District， Chongqing， before and after theCOVID-19 outbreak， and to provide references for the government to formulate disease prevention and control policies and measures. MethodsData on mortality and population in Fuling District from 2017 to 2022 were collected to analyze population mortality and standardized mortality rates， and to compare the changes in the causes of death by year and before and after the pandemic. ResultsFrom 2017 to 2022， the crude mortality rate in Fuling District showed an upward trend （APC=3.04%， P<0.05）， while the standardized mortality rate showed a downward trend （APC=-6.47%， P<0.01）. The mortality rate of males was higher than that of females （P<0.05）， with different age groups having different causes of death composition. The highest proportion of deaths in 0-year-old group was from infectious diseases， maternal and neonatal diseases， and nutritional deficiencies， the highest proportion of deaths in the 1‒24 age group， with the exception of those aged 5‒9， was from injuries， and the main cause of death for residents aged 25 and above was chronic diseases. The mortality rate of mental and behavioral disorders rose from the 13th to the 9th place. According to the epidemic situation of COVID-19， there were no changes in the top five causes of death among the entire population. The motility rate of endocrine， nutritional and metabolic diseases rose from the sixth to the fifth place in male population， and the motility rate of malignant tumor rose from the 3rd to the 2nd place in female population. ConclusionThere are no changes in the top five causes of death among the entire population of Fuling District before and after the COVID-19 outbreak. Chronic diseases remain the main cause of death. It is necessary to control the risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension， diabetes， and dyslipidemia， and to curb the rising trend of mortality rates from strokes and acute myocardial infarction. For deaths caused by accidental injuries， targeted health education should be conducted for different populations.

Objective To make the chromosome karyotype analysis of 130 patients with leukemia by using the improved chromosome short-term culture method.Methods We optimized the main factors with a single factor gradient experiment in short-term culture of bone marrow chromosome, including colchicines concentration, duration of action of colchicines,and hypotonic time.On this basis,we conducted the three-factors and three-level orthogonal experiment to achieve improved bone marrow chromosome preparation system,which was later applied in 130 patients with leukemia in our hospital.Results The orthogonal experiment results showed that the optimum conditions were colchicines concentration of 0.07 μg/mL,colchicines action time of 80 min,and hypotonic time of 35 min during the preparation of the bone marrow chromosome.Using this method,the chromosome preparation success rate reached 97.69% and the detection rate of abnormal karyotype reached 82.3% in the chromosome karyotype analysis.Conclusion Bone marrow chromosome preparation system with colchicines concentration of 0.07 μg/mL and colchicines action time of 80 min,and hypotonic time of 35 min is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective: To observe the effect of reinforcing and reducing manipulation by breathing on yin and yang meridian points for motor function of knee joints in patients with ischemic stroke. ＜br> Methods: A total of 60 ischemic stroke cases were randomly allocated into an observation group and a control group, 30 in each group. Other than basic and conventional rehabilitation therapies, cases in the observation group were treated with reinforcing and reducing manipulation on yin and yang meridians points for a period of 8 weeks; whereas cases in the control group only received the same basic and conventional rehabilitation therapy as that in the observation group. Then the knee joint energy, support moment and shaking moment were compared between the two groups before treatment, and after 4-week and 8-week treatment respectively. ＜br> Results: Before treatment, there were no between-group significant differences in knee joint energy, support moment and shaking moment (all P>0.05). After treatment, the knee joint energy, support moment and shaking moment in both groups were significantly improved (P＜0.05). After 8 weeks of treatment, the knee joint energy, support moment and shaking moment in both groups were significantly improved than that of 4-week treatment (P＜0.05). In addition, there were between-group statistical significances in comparing knee joint energy, support moment and shaking moment after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment (P＜0.05). ＜br> Conclusion: Reinforcing and reducing manipulation by breathing on yin and yang meridian points can increase the knee joint support and shaking force and moment in stroke patients and improve their walking ability.

Objective To observe the change of extension-flexion arc of ankle in hemiplegia due to ischemic stroke after yin-yang acupuncture associated with respiration needling manipulations.Method Sixty ischemic stroke patients were divided into a control group and a treatment group by random number table, 30 in each group. The control group was intervened by basic treatment, while the treatment group was by yin-yang acupuncture associated with respiration needling manipulations in addition to the basic treatment. Before intervention and 28 d after intervention, the Lokomat gait analysis system was adopted to observe the change of the extension-flexion arc of ankle respectively under motorial and stationary states.Result When heel was grounded, the flexion angle, the maximum extension-flexion arc value, and motility of ankle joint of the treatment group were statistically different from those of the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion Yin-yang acupuncture associated with respiration needling manipulations can effectively improve the movement and the walk function of hemiplegia due to ischemic stroke.

Objective To observe the effect of yin-yang acupuncture in association with respiratory reducing-reinforcing needling manipulations on the gait cycle in patients with post-stroke hemiplegia. Methods Sixty patients with ischemic stroke were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 each. The control group was intervened by conventional medication, while based on which the treatment group was additionally given yin-yang acupuncture in association with respiratory reducing-reinforcing needling manipulations. The kinematic time parameters were evaluated before intervention and after 28-day treatment. Results After intervention, the stance phase of the affected side and the healthy side, ambulation cycle, swinging phase of the affected side and the healthy side, and the stance phase of both limbs in the treatment group were significantly different from that in the control group(P＜0.05). Conclusion Yin-yang acupuncture in association with respiration reducing-reinforcing needling manipulations can effectively improve the gait cycle and ambulation function of the patients with post-stroke hemiplegia.

This study was aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of yin-yang meridian acupuncture by reinforc-ing-reducing with patient's respiration on lower limb function among post-stroke patients. A total of 100 stroke pa-tients were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups, which were the control group and the treatment group, with 50 cases in each group. Basic treatment was given in the control group with no related rehabilitation treatment. Basic treatment was given in the treatment group combined with yin-yang meridian acupuncture by reinforcing-re-ducing with patient's respiration. All patients were assessed with kinematics time parameters at the beginning of the treatment and 28 days after the treatment on muscle strength, muscular tension and the change of joint movement of hip joint and knee joint among patients. The results showed that compared with the control group, there was significant difference in treatment group on muscle strength, muscular tension and the change of joint movement of the hip joint and knee joint 28 days after the treatment (P < 0.01). It was concluded that yin-yang meridian acupuncture by reinforcing-reducing with patient's respiration can effectively increase the muscle strength, reduce muscular tension, and improve the change of joint movement, in order to increase the lower limb movement func-tion among stroke patients.
