Objective To study the electroacupuncture effects of the single point Zusanli or Sanyinjiao on simple obese rats and to observe the regulation of fat metabolism.M[ethods Before and after the treatment,the body weights and lengths of rats in each group were measured tO calculate the Lee's index;besides,total cholesteriol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) in the rat blood were also determined.Finally,the rats were treated and observed for tWO courses,and SPSS11.5 statistical software was employed to conduct statistical analysis of the experimental data.Results A significant difference was observed about the effects on the height,weight,Lee's index,TC and TG between treatment group and the model group or normal control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01),but no significant difference between treatment group and normal control group (P>0.05).Conclusion Electroacupuncture of Zusanli and Sanyinjiao points has effects on simple-obesity rats,which can make weight loss and decrease Lee's index,TC and TG levels.The underlying mechanism may relate to the improvements of fat metabolism.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mechanism of the pulmonary injury in rats caused by chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) and to investigate the intervention effect of Edaravone. METHOD: Ninety-six male Wistar rats were divided into four groups randomly: the control group (NC), chronic intermittent hypoxia group (CIH), chronic intermittent hypoxia normal saline matched group (NS), chronic intermittent hypoxia edaravone treatment group (NE). The four groups were also divided into 1, 2, 3, 4 W time subgroups, and each time subgroup had 6 rats. After the experiment, sections of pulmonary were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and the level of SOD, MDA, PO2 and Ang II mRNA in rat homogenate pulmonary were measured. RESULT: Pulmonary histology revealed that the CIH group showed high levels of interstitial edema, alveolar atelectasis, inflammatory cell infiltration of alveolar epithelial cell, pulmonary injury were serious in 1, 2, 3, 4 W. But the pulmonary histology of the UC group and the NS group was normal. Compared with the NS group, pulmonary injury of NE group 1, 2, 3, 4 W, significantly decreased. Compared with the NC group, the levels of PO2 in the CIH group were decreased; while the compared with the NS group, the levels of PO2 in the NE group were increased. Compared with the UC group and NS group, the levels of Ang II mRNA in each time point in CIH group were increased gradually (P < 0.05), the content of MDA were increased in 1, 2, 3, 4 W (P < 0.05), they had reached the peak all at 4 W; while the SOD in each time point in CIH group were decreased gradually (P < 0.05) compared with that in UC group and NS group; The Ang II mRNA levels of CIH in pulmonary showed positive correlation with MDA [r = 0.782,P < 0.01]; while the Ang II mRNA levels of CIH in pulmonary showed negative correlation with SOD [r = - 0.904, P < 0.01]. CONCLUSION CIH can cause pulmonary injury through oxidative stress and activating Ang II, and Edaravone could prevent pulmonary injury induced by CIH through scavenging oxygen free radicals.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of Sysmex XT-4000i automated hematology analyzer on neonatal leukocytes count and classification results.Methods 213 cases of neonatal blood specimens were analyzed respectively by Sysmex XT-4000i automated hematology analyzer and microscope counting and staining of two categories of methods.Results The instrument that immature granulocyte,primitive cell,shift to the left,three kind of tip in any one or more specimens have 112,accounted for 52.58% (112/213),and staining immature cell or shift to the left of the specimens was 91,accounted for 42.72% (91/213).The instrument to nucleated erythrocyte specimens were 109,accounting for 51.17% (109/213),and staining of nucleated erythrocyte were 66,accounting for 30.99% (66/213).Classify or classification of incomplete instrument failed to leukocytes were 11,ac-counting for 5.16% (11/213).When the specimens without nucleated erythrocytes interference or the number of nucleated eryth-rocytes is low [≤ 10/100 white blood cells(WBC)],Instruments on leukocyte count and manual counting results,there was not statistically significant differences between the two groups(P >0.05 ),when the sample number of nucleated erythrocytes (>10/100 WBC),When the specimens were nucleated erythrocyte number for a long time(>10/100 WBC),Instruments on leukocyte count and manual counting results,there was significant difference between the two groups(P <0.05).Correlation analysis on the instrument detection and manual dyeing classification of leukocytes,neutrophils,lymphocytes,monocytes,eosinophils,basophils, the correlation coefficient is respectively 0.95,0.93,0.78,0.86,0.14.Conclusion Some errors exist in Sysmex XT-4000i auto-mated hematology analyzer to count and classification of leukocytes.On neonatal blood tests should be carried out at the same time man-ual microscopy,and on the basis of nucleated erythrocytes were corrected,to ensure the clinical blood routine reporting results.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for better carrying out safe medication intervention for the empty-nest elderly.METHODS:Two communities with different levels of income and culture were collected from Pudong New District of Shanghai,i.e.new community A and traditional community B.By cluster sampling,69 and 110 empty-nest elderly were selected as respondents respectively.The questionnaire survey about drug storage and medication habits of the elderly was conducted.The data of the survey were analyzed statistically.RESULTS:A total of 69 and 110 questionnaires were sent out,and 44 and 63 questionnaires were recovered with effective recovery rate of 63.8％ and 57.3％,respectively.The rate of drug storage in families from traditional community B was higher than new community A (100％ vs.88.6％,P=0.010).The proportions of residents in two communities storing their drugs in special drawers were the highest (59.0％ and 57.1％).Nearly half of the surveyed households in 2 communities did not form the habit of regularly clearing stored drugs.The frequency of residents who cleared stored drugs in traditional community B was higher than those in new community A (P=0.009).Nearly more than 70％ of the residents threw their expired drugs to garbage and only 11％ to drug stores or community health service center.The proportion of residents who were used to reading drug instructions in new community A was higher than traditional community B (95.5％ vs.77.8％,P=0.024).The proportion of the residents consulted community doctors when they were puzzled by drug use in new community A was lower than traditional community B (56.8％ vs.76.2％);The proportion of the residents consulted physicians in major hospitals was higher than traditional community B (34.1％ vs.9.5 ％);there was statistical significance (P=0.034).The most popular health service for the residents in the new community A was the hotline for the drug use (65.9％),while the residents in traditional community B needed blood pressure and sugar monitoring service and set up the health records (41.3％).The proportion of the residents' following demands in new community A was higher than traditional community B:opening drug use hotline,publicizing the knowledge of diseases and medication and conducting lectures (P＜0.001,P=0.006,P=0.018).CONCLUSIONS:The proportion of drug storage in empty-nest families of two communities is in very high level,but drug storage methods,cleaning frequency are not satisfactory.There are still a small number of elderly people who do not have the habit of reading drug instructions.There are some differences between the old and new communities.At the same time,the needs of health services in new and old communities are different.

Objective:To explore the effect of dialectical diet on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score of cirrhotic ascites patients based on "Gu Ben Kai Qu" theory.Methods:From March 2019 to January 2020, 84 patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites admitted to Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of TCM were randomly divided into two groups according to the different dialectical types of the subjects, 14 cases in each group. Three non-syndrome differentiation diet groups were given routine nursing care of liver cirrhosis ascites. On the basis of routine nursing, the corresponding medicinal diet was selected according to syndrome differentiation based on "Gu Ben Kai Qu" theory. Patients with spleen and kidney yang deficiency syndrome selected Shenqi lean meat decoction. Patients with Yin deficiency of liver and kidney selected Wolfberry and ophiopogon spareribs decoction. Patients with qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome selected Danggui Sanqi spareribs decoction. The TCM syndrome score scale for liver disease and the curative effect evaluation of cirrhosis ascites were used to evaluate the effect.Results:Eighty effective cases were included. On the first day of admission, the 14th day and the second week after discharge, the TCM syndrome scores of liver disease were as follows: the group (a1b1) with the spleen and kidney yang deficiency syndrome was 46.38±8.56, 34.20±8.42, 31.40±4.22, respectively. The group (a1b2) with the liver kidney yin deficiency syndrome was 41.50±8.71, 31.35±8.63, 31.12±4.94. The group(a1b3) with the qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome was 45.92±7.86, 35.17±7.57, 30.83±7.32, respectively. The non-syndrome differentiation diet group (a2b1) with the spleen and kidney yang deficiency syndrome was 46.29±8.38, 39.79±7.65, 36.64±6.83, respectively. The non-syndrome differentiation diet group (a2b2) with the liver and kidney yin deficiency syndrome was 40.50±8.12, 38.10±8.93, 35.38±8.24, respectively. The non-syndrome differentiation diet group (a2b3) with the qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome was 45.62±7.99, 41.83±7.31, 38.83±7.96, respectively. The comparison of TCM syndrome scores of liver disease at three time points was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 63.998, P<0.05), and the comparison between groups was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 20.993, P<0.05). On the 14th day and the second week after discharge, there were significant differences between the groups with the syndrome differentiation diet and another three groups with non-syndrome differentiation diet ( F values were 3.244, 3.489, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Based on the theory of "strengthening the foundation and opening channels", the syndrome differentiation group can effectively reduce the TCM syndrome score of patients with cirrhosis ascites, improve the symptoms and enhance the curative effect. With the development of time, the score of TCM syndrome in patients with liver disease become lower. On the 14th day of admission, patients with Yin deficiency of liver and kidney given medicated diets had significant effect; patients with spleen kidney yang deficiency syndrome or qi stagnation and blood stasis had significant effect in 2 weeks after discharge; which can effectively improve the clinical symptoms of patients with cirrhosis ascites to worthy of clinical application.

Objective To explore the effect of applying syndrome differentiation and medicated diet in patients with liver cirrhosis as cites based on"Gu Ben Kai Qu"theory of TCM. Methods Seventy patients of liver cirrhosis as cites were randomly divided into observation group (35 cases) and control group(35 cases).The control group was cared with care routine of liver cirrhosis as cites,The observation group was based on care routine traditional nursing and implementation of dialectical medicalated meal which based on "Gu Ben Kai Qu" theory of TCM. The two groups of patients were used to assess the efficacy of liver cirrhosis as cites,urine volume,abdominal circumference,weight,TCM syndrome scale of liver disease. Results The urine volume on the 7th day, the 14th day, 2 weeks after discharge,the weight and the abdominal circumference on the 2 weeks after discharge from the patients in the observation group were respectively(1.90±0.52)L,(2.09±0.56)L,(2.02±0.35)L,(59.36±8.19)kg,(89.56±7.24)cm,while they were(1.63±0.36)L,(1.79±0.40)L,(1.82±0.38)L,(63.33±8.21)kg,(93.57±7.56)cm in the control group,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (F=6.083, 6.484, 5.030, 4.108, 5.144,all P<0.05). The efficacy of liver cirrhosis as cites from the patients in the observation group were cured 40.0%(14/35),improved 42.9%(15/35),not cured 17.1%(6/35),while they were cured 22.9%(8/35),improved 40.0%(14/35),not cured 37.1%(13/35),the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (Z=2.012,P<0.05). The efficacy of TCM Syndromes on liver disease from the patients in the observation group were respectively[significant effect 37.1%(13/35),valid 45.7% (16/35),invalid 17.2%(6/35)],[significant effect 60.0%(21/35),valid 28.6%(10/35),invalid 11.4%(4/35)], while they were respectively [significant effect 20.0%(7/35), valid 42.9%(15/35), invalid 37.1%(13/35)], [significant effect 40.0%(14/35),valid 25.7%(9/35),invalid 34.3%(12/35)],the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(Z=2.065,2.104,all P<0.05). Conclusions Based on"Gu Ben Kai Qu"theory of TCM,the implementation of dialectical diet can effectively improve efficacy of liver cirrhosis as cites, reduction rate of TCM symptoms scale, urine volume,reduce the weight,shrink down the abdominal circumference,worthy of clinical application.
