Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of liver-soothing and spleen-reinforcing acupuncture in treating functional constipation.Methods Sixty patients with functional constipation were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 30 cases each. The treatment group received liver-soothing and spleen-reinforcing acupuncture and the control group, oral administration of prucalopride succinate tablets. The number of complete spontaneous bowel movements (CSBM), the number of spontaneous bowel movements (SBM), constipation symptoms (defecation time, defecatory difficulty and fecal characters) scores and The Patient Assessment of Constipation Quality of Life (PAC-QOL) score were recorded in the two groups before and after two and four weeks of treatment. The clinical therapeutic effects were compared.Results After two weeks of treatment, there were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in CSBM and SBM in the treatment group (P<0.05) and significant post-treatment differences in CSBM and SBM between the two groups (P<0.05). After four weeks of treatment, there were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in CSBM and SBM in the two groups (P<0.05) and no significant post-treatment differences in CSBM and SBM between the two groups (P>0.05). After two and four weeks of treatment, there were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in constipation symptoms scores in thetwo groups (P<0.05). After two weeks of treatment, the defecation time and defecatory difficulty scores were significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group; there were statistically significant differences between the two groups (P<0.05). After two and four weeks of treatment, the fecal character score was significantly higher in the control than in the treatment group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). There were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in the PAC-QOL scores in the two groups (P<0.05) and no significant post-treatment differences in the PAC-QOL scores between the two groups (P>0.05). The total efficacy rate was 80.0% in the treatment group and 73.3% in the control group; there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusions Liver-soothing and spleen-reinforcing acupuncture has a marked therapeutic effect on functional constipation. It produces a quick effect with high safety.

Objective To evaluate the different effect of 50 g glucose challenge test (GCT) on screening the glucose intolerance at different gestational age. Methods Two thousand pregnant women were divided into 2 groups(1000 in each). Women in group A received 50 g GCT at 14 and 28 gestational weeks respectively and 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were performed in those cases with abnormal 50 g GCT. 50 g GCT was performed after fasting at 14 gestational weeks and repeated one hour after a meal at 28 gestational weeks. Women in group B were screened by 50 g GCT at 28 gestational weeks and followed by 75 g OGTT for those with abnormal 50 g GCT. The diagnostic effect of 50 g GCT for screening at different weeks of gestation with different ways was evaluated. Results (1)The rate of abnormal result of 50 g GCT was higher in fasting cases than that of cases testing after meal (15.6% vs 12.2%, P

Objective To investigate the predictive value of umbilical cord blood bilirubin for pathological jaundice in healthy term newborns. Methods Two ml navel string vein blood of baby were collected after giving birth in the normal newborn, and the hemobilirubin was detected by accidentally oxidation method. After birth, the infant's bilirubin level was tested on the forehead by the transcutaneous bilirubinometer at 8:00 -9:00 every morning until discharging from hospital. The ration of pathological jaundice of newborn and its treatment were analyzed in different levels of cord blood hemobilirubin. Results Fifty-nine cases ( 22.96% ) with pathological jaundice were diagnosed in 257 newboms.The concentration of cord blood hemobilirubin in baby with pathological jaundice [(39.68 ±8.10) μmol/L] was significantly higher than that of the normal newborn [(30.05 ±5.51) μmol/L](P<0.01). As the concentration of cord blood hemobilirubin was increased, the incidence of pathological jaundice was raised (P< 0.01), and the cases that needed to intervention treatment was increased(P< 0.01). Conclusion The detection of the level of cord blood hemobilirubin is not only very worthy to estimate the occurrence of pathological jaundice of newborn, but also offer reliable evidence for clinical early diagnosis and treatment.
