Objective:To observe the efficacy of acupuncture plus tuina therapy for insomnia.
Methods:Totally 100 eligible patients were randomized into a treatment group (n=51) and a control group (n=49) by using the random number table. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture at Baihui (GV 20), Fengchi (GB 20), Wangu (GB 12), Shenting (GV 24), Anmian [Extra, locates at the midpoint between Yiming (EX-HN 14) and Fengchi (GB 20)], and Neiguan (PC 6) plus tuina treatment; the control group was intervened by acupuncture alone. For both groups, the treatment was given once a day, 10 sessions as a treatment course, and the efficacies were evaluated and compared after 3 treatment courses.
Results:Of the 51 subjects in the treatment group, 46 cases completed 3 treatment courses, and 17 cases were cured, 18 cases showed marked efficacy, 7 cases were improved, 4 cases had invalid result, and the total effective rate was 91.3%. Of the 49 subjects in the control group, 46 cases completed 3 treatment courses, and 8 cases were cured, 12 cases showed marked efficacy, 14 cases were improved, 12 cases had invalid result, and the total effective rate was 73.9%. The total effective rate of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion:Acupuncture plus tuina can calm the mind and activate meridian qi in treating insomnia, and it can produce a more significant efficacy than pure acupuncture treatment.

Objective To study the angiographic anatomic characteristics of renal arteries in Chinese.Methods Selective renal angiography was performed immediately after coronary artery angiography in(1?057) Chinese patients,including 702 males and 355 females.The mean age of them were 59.3?8.3 years.Six French JR4 catheters were used via transfemoral approach.Three to five milliliters nonionic contrast media were injected manually into each renal artery and cine pictures were taken at an anterior-posterior view.Results A single-renal-artery was found in most of the patients(87.23% at the left side and 89.97% at the right side).In the others,two or even more independent renal arteries were found at one or both sides.Most of the renal arteries (87.79% at the left side and 91.20% at the right side) originated between the upper third of the first lumbar vertebra and the upper third of the second lumbar vertebra.The right renal artery ostium was located superior to the left one in 45.13% of the cases.In the other 45.41% of them,renal artery ostia of both sides were at a same level.Conclusion Anatomic variations in the number and origin of renal arteries are not nare in Chinese.Understanding the angiographic anatomic characteristics of renal artery would be useful for renal artery interventions.

Objective To explore the clinical and coronary angiography features of female patients suffering from premature coronary heart disease by analyzing retrospectively the clinical data of those women who undertook coronary angiography before 55 years old in a period of 5 years. Methods Female patients under 55 years were enrolled. Data such as risk factors (including hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, stroke, and metabolic syndrome), clinical findings (including blood pressure, serum lipid test on admission), and coronary angiographic images were collected to find the relationship between risk factors and coronary heart disease. Results The study had enrolled 166 cases with 71 cases (42.8%) of them diagnosed as coronary heart disease. In this group, the most important risk factors were diabetes, metabolic syndrome, history of hypertension, high level of serum TG and decreased HDL. At the same time, we found that the body mass index, LDLC level, TG level and blood glucose in CHD patients were significantly higher than those in non-CHD ones. Single vessel disease was the most popular pattern of these CHD patients. Conclusion History of diabetes, metabolic syndrome and hypertension were the most vital risk factors of CHD in this relative young female population.

Objective To determine chloramphenicol and metronidazolel in honey by isotope-labelled internal standards ultra performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.Methods Samples were extracted with ethyl acetate solution,and cleaned up on a MCS cartridge.The target analytes were separated on a ZORBAX SB-C18column with gradient elution using a mobile phase made up of methanol and 5 mmol/L ammonium acetate solution (containing 0.05％ formic acid).Detection was carried out using positive and negative electrospray ionization and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM),and quantified with isotope internal standardmethod.Results The chloramphenicol and metronidazolel showed good linearity in the range of 0.05-5.00 ng/ml.The recovery at three spiked levels of 0.5,2.0 and 5.0 μg/kg were in the range of 79.3％-96.7％.The relative standard deviation (RSD) was 5.5％-14.8％.The limits of quantitation were 0.15 μg/kg,the limits of detection were 0.05 μg/kg.Conclusion The method is sensitive and accurate.It could be applied to the high-throughput analysis of chloramphenicol and metronidazolel.

Objective We aimed to study the optimal method for local compression following removal of needle after intravenous injection and protect patients' vein to the highest degree. Methods 620 patients were divided into the observation group and the control group with 310 cases in each group randomly. Comparison study was carried out by adopting interchange compression (routine method) and noninterchange compression (direct pressing with hypothenar). Results The incidence of pain, bleeding and subcutaneous stasis after removal of needle in the observation group was lower than those in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusions Local compression following removal of needle with hypothenar was superior to routine compression method and it was worth applying in clinics widely.

Objective To evaluate contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) in the diagnosis of vascular complications of transplanted kidneys.Methods Twelve patients with vascular abnormalities after renal transplantation were observed and analyzed using CEUS, and the diagnosis of all cases was confirmed by means of operation,pathology or angiography.Results Five patients with renal artery stenosis,2 patients with renal artery thrombosis,3 patients with pseudoaneurysm, 1 patient with pseudophlebangioma, and 1 patient with intrarenal extensive microthrombus were found.The coincidence of CEUS was 100%.Conclusions CEUS is a new method with the characteristics of non-nephrotoxic damage to kidney and comparable with angiography in terms of dynamic imaging.

Objective To investigate major causes of chronic diseases and death from 2004 to 2006 in Gang Za district of Nan Tong city. Methods According to ICD-10, the data of diseases were coded and classified. Mortalities were accounted. Results The crude mortality of the whole crowd was for 754.26 / 100 000, and standardized mortality was for 419.47 / 100 000. The crude mortalities of chronic diseases (malignant tumor, cerebrovascular disease, respiratory system, cardiac disease and endocrine system disease) were for 208.97 / 100 000, 151.79 / 100 000, 114.17 / 100 000, 101.38 / 100 000, 16.55 / 100 000, and standardized mortalities were for 77.73/ 100 000, 56.14 / 100 000, 50.28 / 100 000, 9.19 / 100 000. The percent of death was 78.60%. The standardized mortalities of malignant tumor, cerebrovascular disease and endocrine system disease were in the up trend. Conclusions It is clear that malignant tumor, cerebrovascular disease,respiratory system, cardiac disease were the most important causes of death. Health education and effective prevention should be strengthened in order to reduce the mortality of chronic diseases.

Objective To investigate the changing trend of eclampsia in our hospital during 30 years. Methods We retrospectively analysed 98 cases of eclampsia from 1971 to 2000. Results The incidence of eclampsia fell from 0.3% in the 1970s to 0.1% in the 1990s (P0.05). Conclusions The incidence of eclampsia has fallen significantly during 30 years. The composition of eclampsia has changed significantly, antepartum eclampsia decreased and postpartum eclampsia increased. The perinatal mortality has fallen. The death ratio of women with eclampsia hasn't fallen.

Objective To investigate clinical effects of transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) combined with postoperative perfusion of mitomycin C to urinary bladder on superficial bladder cancer. Methods 32 patients with superficial bladder cancer were treated by TURBT and discontinuous perfusion of mitomycin C (20mg/20ml) to urinary bladder. Results 32 cases of the superficial bladder cancers all were once ablated. 8 cases relapsed in 6 months to 2 years of postoperation, which were treated by TURBT and discontinuous perfusion of mitomycin C to urinary bladder again, and relapse was not found from postoperation to present. Conclusions Treatment of TURBT combined with perfusion of mitomycin C on superficial bladder cancer is repeatable, simple, safe and effective.

The sexual hormones were measured in the serum of 30 male renal transplantation patients both pre transplant and 1, 3 and 6 months after transplantation. The changes in sexual function in these 30 cases with normal functioning grafts for 1～3 years were investigated. All patients answered the questionnaire. The serum sexual hormones were measured by radioimmunoassay. The sexual functions of 21 patients recovered 2～4 months after transplantation. About 80 9% of the patients were satisfactory with their sexual life. 4 unmarried patients experienced nocturnal emission 2～4 months after the transplantation, and two of them were successful to impreqnate two or three years after marriage. The levels of serum T were normal 3 months after transplantation. The results suggested that the patients with pituitary sex endocrine dysfunction in chronic renal failure could be relieved by successful renal transplantation.
