Objective: To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture and hydro-acupuncture in treating anxiety. Methods: Compare between the therapeutic effect of 186 cases of Three Huang Points of DONG's extra points in treating anxiety and that of 139 cases by purely Western medicine buspirone. Results: The total effective rate of the treatment group was 91.4%, and the rate of the control group was 93.5%. There was statistical difference of Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Self Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) scores before and after treatment in both groups (P＜0.001), while there was no statistical difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture treatment compared favorably to anti-anxiety drug buspirone. Oral administration of buspirone had different degrees of side effects, such as dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, difficulty urinating and acidophilus, while there was basically no side effects of acupuncture and the effect of acupuncture was better than buspirone. This was especially suitable for patients who could not take medications for various reasons.

OBJECTIVETo explore the objective evaluation index of acupuncture effect through study on the differences of surface electromyography of deltoid before and after acupuncture at some specific points.

METHODSTwenty-six cases of periarthritis were treated with acupuncture at Jianyu (LI 15), Jianqian (Extra), Jianliao (TE 14) and Binao (LI 14). The treatment was given once every other day, six treatments were required. The deltoid myoelectricity indices were collected and analyzed before treatment, after treatment and after 5 s manipulations at each acupoint.

RESULTSCompared with the deltoid myoelectricity before treatment, there were statistically significant differences in the 2nd, 3rd and 5th manipulations during the acupuncture stimulation at Jianqian (Extra), the 2nd, 3rd and 6th manipulations at Binao ( LI 14) (all P < 0.05) and all the 6 manipulations at Jianyu (LI 15) (all P < 0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in all the 6 manipulations at Jianliao (TE 14) (all P > 0.05). And the differences of deltoid surface myoelectricity before and after the 6 acupuncture treatments were all with statistic significance (all P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONA certain therapeutic effect can be found in treatment of periarthritis with acupuncture. And the effect at Jianyu (LI 15) is proved to be the most obvious. Jianqian (Extra) and Binao (LI 14) are considered as the second obvious. While no significant effect can be found at Jianliao (TE 14).

Objective To investigate the expression,and biological significance of uPA and Cath-D in early diagnosis of cervix carcinoma and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.Methods The immunohistochemical SP was used to detect the expression of uPA and Cath-D proteins in 39 CA.ges with cervix carcinoma and 33 ofpatients with CIN cases and 15 cases with normal cervical epithelia.Results Positive rates of uPA and Cath-D in the cervix carcinoma were significantly higher than in the CIN.Positive rates of uPA and Cath-D in the CIN and the cervix carcinoma were significantly higher than in the normal cervical epithelia. The difference had statistical significance( P＜0. 05 ). In the group of CIN Ⅰ/CIN Ⅱ/CINⅢ ,the expression of uPA and Cath-D had significant diffcrence(P ＜0. 05). In the group of highly, moderate and lowly developed tissue, the expression of uPA and Cath-D had significant difference (P＜0. 05). In the group with and without LNM, the expression of uPA and Cath-D had significant difference( P＜0. 01 ).Conclusions uPA and Cath-D may involve in the initiation of CIN, cervix carcinoma, uPA and Cath-D could be used as markers for early diagnosis of cervix carcinoma. It could be helpful for increasing the ratio of earlier diagnosis in the fields of cervix carcinoma.

Objective To discuss the efficacy of oxygen blow atomization inspiration ambroxo in treat-ing capillary bronchitis. Methods From Oct 2005 to Dec 2007, 108 infants with capillary bronchitis from the Central Hospital were divided into three groups, i. e. Group A, Group B and Group C, to which normal thera-peutic methods are applied. However, Group A adopted oxygen blow atomization inspiration ambroxo, twice a day;Group B applied Intravenous Injection of Ambroxo, twice a day; while Group C was treated with Oral Ambroxo, twice a day. After 5 days of treatment, compare clinical symptoms, pulmonary signs, hospitalization days and total effective rate of the three groups. Results Group A succeeded in significantly improving its cure rate, eliminating symptoms like cough, asthma, dyspnea and wheezing sound and moist tales, and considerably reducing days in hospital. This group features its significant difference from Group B and Group C (P <0.01).Conclusion in treating capillary bronchitis, Oxygen blow atomization inspiration ambroxo can reduce course of disease, improve cure rate, and it is a therapeutic method with outstanding curative effects and easy to apply.

Objective To investigate the pathological characteristics and clinical significance of ultrasructure in lung tissues of type 2 diabetic adult patients.Methods Normal lung tissues far from lung neoplasm in 10 cases of type 2 diabetic patients associated with lung cancer were observed under a transmission electron microscope. Results Type Ⅱ alveolar cells became small,and cell superficial microvilli disappeared,Osmiophilic lamellar body became atrophy,lacked lamellar structure and formed a solid globule with high electrom dense;Rough endoplasmic reticulum and mitochodria in cytoplasm were enlarged cystiformly,and there were translucent materials deposited in vesicle,euchromatin decreased,heterochromatin condensed;The basement membrane of bronchial capillary were diffusely thickened and mostly showed onion-skin like change,protein deposited around and mixed with basement membrane.Conclusion Lung is confirmed to be the target organ of chronic damage in diabetes.Pathological changes of pulmonary tissues induced by diabetes have its specific characteristics,which are different from other pulmonary diseases.These changes are pathological basis of pulmonary function abnormalities.

Objective:To explore the effects of Bailing capsules combined with breviscapine injections on the micro-inflammation in the patients with peritoneal dialysis. Methods:Sixty-five patients with peritoneal dialysis for more than 6 months were randomly di-vided into the treatment group (33 patients) and the control group (32 patients). The two groups were still given peritoneal dialysis and treated with the conventional symptomatic treatment combined with breviscapine, while in the treatment group, Bailing capsules were given additionally. Before and after the 2-week treatment, serum creatinine, urea, plasma albumin, hs-CRP and IL-6 were exam-ined and compared in the two groups. Results:After the treatment, serum creatinine and urea in the two groups were significantly de-creased(P<0. 05), and plasma albumin was increased significantly(P<0. 05), and the changes in the treatment group were more no-table than those in the control group (P<0. 05). After the treatment, the average levels of hs-CRP and IL-6 were decreased signifi-cantly in the two groups (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01), and those in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group (P<0. 01). Conclusion:The combined therapy of Bailing capsules and breviscapine injections shows better clinical effects on the micro-inflammation in the patients with peritoneal dialysis than breviscapine injections alone.
