Objective To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of heat-sensitive moxibustion for knee osteoarthritis ( KOA) by systematic evaluation and Meta analysis methods. Methods Electronic information retrieval combined manual retrieval methods were used for collecting clinical randomized control trial of heat-sensitive moxibustion for KOA. The systematic evaluation was conducted by two individual researcher following the principles of Cochrane Review Handbook 5.1, and RevMan5.0 software was applied for the statistical analysis. Results Fifteen randomized controlled trials (RCT) were enrolled into the analysis, which involved 1228 cases. The results of systematic evaluation showed that the quality of most of the enrolled RCT were not so high. The results of Meta analysis were as follows: ( 1) Between heat-sensitive moxibustion and traditional moxibustion, the weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95%confidence index (CI) were-1.76, [-2.33, -1.18] for visual analog scale ( VAS) scores ( P<0.001) , were -2.36, [-3.42, -1.30] for the scores of guiding principle of clinical research on new drugs ( GPCRND) for KOA ( GPCRND-KOA) ( P<0.001) , and were 13.61, [7.60, -19.61]for Lysholm knee joint function scores (P<0.001), respectively; (2) Between heat-sensitive moxibustion and acupuncture, WMD and 95%CI were 6.19, [ 0.01, 11.37] for Lysholm scores ( P<0.05);(3) Between heat-sensitive moxibustion and warm-needling acupuncture, WMD and 95%CI were -10.14, [-17.47, -2.81] for the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities ( WOMAC) osteoarthritis index scores ( P<0.05). Conclusion It is indicated that heat-sensitive moxibustion shows certain therapeutic effect for knee osteoarthritis, better than traditional moxibustion.

[ Objective] To observe the effect of removing phlegm,softening and removing blood stasis on pulmonary morphology and hydoxyprolin of pulmonary fibrosis rats. [Methods]The experimental pulmonary fibrosis models were produced by injecting BLMA5.All animals were randomly divided into 5 groups which were control group, model group, Chinese herb high-dose group, Chinese herb low-dose group and prednisone group respectively, the drugs were given daily starting from the second day and the rats were killed on the 7th and 28th day. The shape of rats’ lung tissues was observed, the levels of hydroxyproline in lung tissues were measured. [Results] In model group, alveolitis increases(much inflammatory cell infiltration), pulmonary interstitial fibroblast increases. There is less pulmonary tissue inflammatory cell infiltration in drug-given groups than that in model group and so is fibroblast. Compared with the model group, the content of HYP of pulmonary tissues of the drug-given groups is remarkably decreased. [Conclusion] The Chinese herb of removing phlegm, softening and removing blood stasis can effectively inhibit the formation of pulmonary fibrosis caused by BLMA5.

[Summary] The general status of glycemic control and insulin initiation are not optimistic in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes.Chinese patients experience pancreatic β-cell dysfunction and reduction of early phase insulin spike earlier and more severely compared to Caucasians.These can cause more significant postprandial hyperglycaemia which is further deteriorated by traditional carbohydrate-rich Chinese diet.Therefore,premixed insulin may be a more appropriate option of insulin initiation therapy for Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

OBJECTIVE To explore the risk factors in elderly patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP) and to provide the corresponding clinical prevention strategies.METHODS The ages,underlying diseases,mechanical ventilation method,use of antibiotics,and pathogenic bacteria of the VAP patients were investigated and analyzed.RESULTS Totally 105 elderly patients with VAP had serious underlying diseases,and were treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics,tracheal intubation or trachea incision.Most pathogenic bacteria were multiresistant.CONCLUSIONS Prevention of VAP is the priority of treatment for elderly patients.In order to control the occurrence and spread of VAP,clinicians should shorten the time of ventilator treatment,pay more attention to sterilization and isolation,and strengthen the attendance of the patients.

Objectives: To evaluate the analgesic effect of electronic dental anesthesia(EDA).　Methods: Sixty patients with dental caries in need of cavity preparation and 15 patients with pulpitis in need of pulp treatment were anesthetized with EDA, another 60 patients with dental caries in need of cavity preparation and 15 patients with pulpitis in need of pulp treatment were anesthetized with traditional local anesthesia(LA).　 Results: For patients with dental caries in need of cavity preparation, the effective rates in EDA group and LA group were 93.33% and 98.33% respectively(P>0.05).For patients with pulpitis in need of pulp treatment ,the effective rates in EDA group and LA group were 26.7% and 93.33% respectively(P<0.01).　Conclusions: EDA can be an effective analgesic method for cavity preparation, but not for pulp treatment.

MicroRNA (miRNA) is a kind of endogenous and highly conservative RNA,with length of about 20 to 24 nucleotides and tissue specificity.MiRNA regulates the expression of target genes by pairing with complementary mRNA in the transcription level mRNA or inhibiting mRNA translation.Several studies have shown the miRNA subtype genes,such as miR-126,miR-31,miR-200b and miR-29,in a certain related to the formation of new blood vessels in diabetic retinopathy (DR),through a series of regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression,thereby inhibiting or promoting angiogenesis.VEGF can stimulate vascular endothelial cell hyperplasia and generate new blood vessels,which damage blood-retinal barrier and accelerate the progress of DR.Therefore,revealing the effect and mechanism of miRNA on the pathogenesis of DR,new blood vessels are the important research direction,which can offer us new strategy for prevention and cure of DR.In this article,we reviewed the research progress of miRNA in neovascularization formation of DR.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a key factor for neovascular diseases of ophthalmology.Bevacizumab is a full-length,humanized monoclonal IgG antibody,which prevents VEGF-A to combine with its receptors on the endothelial surface,and inhibits the endothelial cell proliferation and new blood vessel formation.Nowadays,anti-VEGF drugs are widely used to treat neovascularization diseases in ophthalmology.Bevacizumab has been more extensively applied because of its high security and low cost.The article reviewed the advancement of laboratory researches on the permeability,safety,pharmacokinetics of bevacizumab and research in vitro.

Corneal epithelial cells,lens epithelial cells,and retinal pigment epithelium cells contain a vast array of ion channels and pumps.The selective permeability to different ions generates endogenous electric fields and currents in those tissues.Abnormalities in the endogenous electric fields may underlie many ocular diseases,for example chronic corneal ulcers,posterior capsule opacity after cataract surgery,and retinopathies.How the electric fields influence the tissues and cells and participate in the occurrence of the ocular diseases is a hotspot of research in this field.This article briefly reviewed the mechanism of how the endogenous electrical activities are generated,the responses of ocular cells to applied electric fields,potential intracellular signaling mechanisms and clinical implications.Further understanding of this aspect is likely to offer new insights into ocular diseases.

Integration of pharmacokinetics(PK)/pharmacodynamics(PD)in antibiotic drug development allows the dosage regimen to be optimized,so that the desired effect can be achieved in a large proportion of the target patient population.In vitro kinetic and in vivo animal models have been extensively used in the evaluation of antibiotics.The value of these pre-clinical models in the PK and PD characterization of antibiotics is critically reviewed.A model based clinical development of antibiotics with integrating MIC distribution,PK parameter distribution,the PD target from animal models of infection,and the protein binding of the test drug,is also reviewed.
