Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2015;(9):827-828
Objective To observe the effect of penetrating needling with thick needle at Shenzhu (GB 12) on the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) score in patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Methods Sixty-one PD patients were randomized into a treatment group of 31 cases and a control group of 30 cases. The treatment group was intervened by penetrating needling with thick needle at Shenzhu (GV 12) in addition to oral administration of Levodopa and Benserazide Hydrochloride;while the control group was by oral administration of Levodopa and Benserazide Hydrochloride alone. The UPDRS was evaluated before and after intervention in both groups. Results Respectively after 30-day treatment, 90-day treatment, and 90 d after the intervention, the UPDRS scores were significantly changed compared to that before intervention in both groups (P<0.01, P<0.05);there were also significant differences in comparing the UPDRS score between the two groups at each time point (P<0.01, P<0.05). Conclusions Penetrating needling with thick needle at Shenzhu (GV 12) can improve the UPDRS score in PD patients, and it’s an effective method in treating PD.

Journal of Chinese Physician 2001;0(02):-
Objective To investigate the relationship between metabolism syndrome (MS) and fatty liver. Methods Plasma lipids, plasma glucose, liver function, blood pressure, body height and body weight were determined in 666 leaders receiving physical examination. Their livers were also examined by ultrasound. Whit analysis of variance and chi-square test, the effect of plasma lipids, plasma glucose, blood pressure, and weight index on fatty liver, and the relation between MS and fatty liver were analyzed. Results The weight index, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and the levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride, apolipoprotein B and plasma glucose in the patients with fatty liver were higher than those in healthy subjects. The levels of high-density lipoprotein and apolipoprotein A were lower in patients with fatty liver than those in healthy subjects. The morbidity of fatty liver in the patients with MS was higher than that in healthy subjects. Conclusion There was a close relation between MS and fatty liver. It was necessary to early treat MS.

Objective To establish a new method for determination of trace cadmium in river water. Methods Cadmium in river water was separated and enriched with sulfhydryl cotton, in the presence of 4?10~3 % emulsifier OP and H3PO4-NaH2PO4 water solution, Victoria Pure Blue BO reacted with [CdI4]2- forming an ionic-associated complex and the color of the solution changed from yellow to pure blue, and the content of trace cadmium in river water was determined by spectrophotometry. Results When cadmium was enriched fifty times, the apparent molar absorptivity of the associated complex was ?=2.79?10_5 L/(mol?cm). Beer's law was obeyed in the range 2-100 ?g/L. The recovery rate and RSD of the method was 96.2%-98.6% and 2.5% respectively. Conclusion The method was accurate and sensitive,and was suitable for determination of trace cadmium in river water.

Objective To compare the clinical outcomes of 2 different catheter ablation strategies for patients with chronic atrial fibrillation(CAF).Methods One hundred and thirty four consecutive patients(77 males,mean age 56.8?12.3 yrs)were randomized into 2 groups of different catheter ablation strategies.All the patients suffered from frequent attacks(more than 3 times per month),drug refractory and symptomatic CAF.One group received circumferential pulmonary rein ablation(CPVA group,n=68)and the other group received complex fractionated electrogram ablation additional to CPVA(CPVA+CFEA group,n=66).All ablation was guided by 3 dimensional mapping system(CARTO).Follow-up ECG,Holter and clinical outcomes of the 2 groups within 6 months after the procedures were analyzed.Results The baseline characteristics were comparable between the 2 groups.The mean procedure time in the CPVA+CFEA group was longer than that in the CPVA group but the mean fluoroscopy time between two groups had no significant difference.After the first procedure,60%of patients in the CPVA group and 77% of patients in the CPVA +CFEA group were free from symptomatic atrial tachycardia without any use of antiarrhythmic drugs for at least 3 months(P

Objective To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation(AF)therapy guided by 3-D mapping systems.Methods Eight hundred cases(482 male,mean age 62.1?15.6 years)were enrolled.AF was paroxysmal in 611 cases,and persistent in 189 cases.The mean left atrium diameter was 38.4 9.2 mm.Ablation was guided by EnSite-NavX in 260 cases and by CARTO in 540 cases.Circumferential pulmonary vein isolation(CPVI)was performed for paroxysmal AF,and CPVI combined with complex fractionated atrial electrograms(CFAEs)and mitral isthmus ablation was applied for persistent AF.Every case received oral anticoagulation with warfarin and class IC and class III antiarrhythmic drugs for 1 to 3 months.ECG and Holter were applied every month during follow-up.Results Seven hundred and ninty-five cases underwent the procedure successfully,with the mean procedural time 161 33 min and fluoroscopic time 17 13 min.PV isolation was achieved in 96.5% of cases for left-sided PVs,and in 98.6% of cases for right-sided PVs.Radiofrequency application terminated paroxysmal AF in 90 out of 98 cases.AF recurred in 137 cases within 2 weeks post-ablation,and subsided in 103 cases during subsequent follow-up.Fifty-seven cases underwent re-ablation and 6 cases required third ablation.Persistent AF was terminated in 30 cases(16.1%)and was converted to atrial tachycardia in 15 cases(8.1%)by CPVI.For patients receiving CFAEs ablation,persistent AF was terminated in 20 cases(10.8%)and was converted to atrial tachycardia in 23 cases(12.4%).AF recurred in 78 cases(41.9%)early after ablation and 65 cases underwent re-ablation(10 cases received third ablation).Atrial tachycardia/flutter developed in 104 cases(13.1%)after ablation,and remitted in 68 cases.Atrial tachycardia/flutter was mapped and ablated in 30 cases,and was eliminated in 23 cases.Complications:Cardiac tamponade developed in 5 cases,requiring pericardiocentesis in 3 cases and surgical repair in 2 cases.PV stenosis was present in 6(0.7%)cases,TIA in 1 case,cerebral embolism in 2 cases,mesentery artery embolism in 1 case,hemothorax in 1 case and pneumothorax in 1 case.There were femoral artery pseudo-aneurysm in 3 cases and femoral artery-vein fistula in 1 case.All the patients were cured by conservative therapy.During a mean follow-up of 16.2?5.7 months,550 cases(9.4% of them received re-ablation and 11.5% received antiarrhythmic drugs)with paroxysmal AF and 159 cases(34.9% of them received re-ablation and 28.5% received antiarrhythmic drugs)with persistent AF were free of atrial tachyarrhythmias recurrence.Conclusion Catheter ablation guided by 3-D mapping systems were safe and effective for AF therapy.CPVI alone was enough for paroxysmal AF treatment,while CPVI combined with CFAEs and isthmus ablation were preferable for persistent AF treatment,and re-ablation were needed in 40% of the patients to improve effectiveness.

Objective To analyze the distribution of key target sites(KTSs) during initial circumferential pulmonary vein isolation(CPVI) for atrial fibrillation(AF) and during re-ablation.Methods Forty eight cases(30 males,average age 54.3?10.2 years) with recurrent AF were enrolled.AF was paroxysmal in 24 cases and persistent in 24 cases.Re-ablation was performed 37.2?7.4 days after initial CPVI.KTS was defined as the target sites where pulmonary vein potentials(PVPs) delayed,conduction sequence changed,PVPs slowed down or PV isolated during ablation.Circumferential pulmonary vein(PV) lesions were divided eaqually into 8 segments.KTSs were analyzed during initial CPVI and re-ablation.Results One hundred and forty five KTSs were identified during initial CPVI.The mean KTSs per case were 3.02?1.08,compared with 1.58?1.09 during re-ablation,P
