ObjectiveTo study the effect of the electroacupuncture on patients of vascular dementia (VD). Methods68 patients suffering from VD were randomly divided into two groups, the electroacupuncture group(34 cases) and the medicine group(dihydroergotoxine, DHET, 34 cases). Scores of HDS R(Hasegawa Dementia Scale ), FAQ(Functional Activity Questionaire), ADL(Activity of Daily Living)and Nervous Dysfunction were examined and compared before and after treatment. The course was 42 days. ResultsThe total effective rate was 79.41% in electroacupuncture group and 20.58% in DHET group(P<0.01). All the above mentioned indices were more significantly improved in electroacupuncture group than those in DHET group(P<0.01). ConclusionsIt suggests that the electroacupuncture may improve the VD patients in intelligence, ability of functional activity and quality of life, etc.

Objective To explore the therapeutic efficacy of modified Taohong Siwu Decoctio n(TSD) combined with limited internal fixation and external fixation for the treatment of tibial plateau fracture of Schatzker type Ⅴand Ⅵ. M ethods A total of 31 cases of tibial plateau fractures of Schatzker type Ⅴ and Ⅵ treated with TSD orally combined with limited internal fixation and external fixation were enrolled into the study. Follow-up was carried out for the evaluation of therapeutic effect and postoperative complications. Results All of the cases received follow-up for 6 months to 3 years. According to Merchant scoring criteria, the therapeutic effect was excellent for 15 cases, good for 12 cases, acceptable for 3 cases and inferior for one case, with the excellent and good rate being 87.1%. One case had pin tract infection, and then was cured after symptomatic treatment. Conclusion For tibial plateau fracture of Schatzker typeⅤandⅥwith unsatisfactory skin state, we can perform limited internal fixation and external fixation to take the place of strong steel plate fixation with extensive exposure for surgical treatment, and then give postoperative oral use of TSD, which will be a safe and effective therapy for the fracture by promoting the relief of the clinical symptoms and signs of early fracture.

Objective:To study the different feeding practices of Chinese infants within four months of age in 2002. Method:The method of multi-steps cluster sampling was adopted. In order to ensure the sample size sufficient additional subjects were included in this survey. Results:More than two thirds (71.6%) of infants within four months of age had been almost exclusively breastfed, 65.5% and 74.4% in urban and rural areas respectively. The average percentage of mixed feeding was 23.0% (27.0% in urban and 21.2% in rural areas); and that of artificial feeding was 5.4% (7.5% in urban and 4.4% in rural areas). The rate of breastfeeding decreased with the increase of family income. Conclusion:Although the rate of almost exclusive breastfeeding is increasing, there is still far away from the aim of 85% in 2001-2010 National Outline for Children.

0.05 ). It is indicated that both eight extra-meridians acupuncture therapy and Jin Sanzhen therapy can improve intelligence index of VD, and the possible mechanism is related to the regulation of central nervous system function, elimination of SOD and reduction of NE and NO secretion.

Objective To report our self-designed guide module for placement of posterior column lag screws in anterior-posterior column acetabular plate using CT reconstruction data.Methods The CT scan data of 50 normal adult pelves were collected from February 2012 to April 2013,involving 30 males and 20 females with an average age of 46.4 years(range,from 25 to 69 years).The data were imported into Mimics 10.01 software for reconstruction of semi-pelvic models.Virtual cylindrical implants were placed intraosseously in both the left and the right posterior columns.The perpendicular distance (OP) from the insertion point O of the virtual cylindrical implant to the arcuate margin (P) and the distance (PI) from the point P to the point I,the crosspoint of the extension line of the ischial ramus and the arcuate margin were measured respectively.The angle (∠φ) between the direction of screws and the plane of guide module and the angle (∠θ) between the direction of screws and the long axis of guide module were also measured respectively.Results The average length of PI was 0.98 ± 0.13 cm,with 1.08 ± 0.22 cm in females and 0.95 ± 0.27 cm in males.The difference between genders was not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).The average length of OP was 1.09 ± 0.26 cm,with 1.06 ± 0.29 cm in females and 1.12 ± 0.24 cm in males.The gender difference was not statistically significant either (P ＞ 0.05).The mean value of ∠ φ was 55.43° ± 3.64°,with 55.33° ± 4.00° in females and 55.50° ±3.43° in males.The difference between genders was not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).The ∠θ value in females was 39.21 ° ± 2.45° and 35.58° ± 2.31 ° in males.The gender difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions In design of the guide module,the nail holes should be located about 1 cm away from both the posterior edge and the medial edge,the angle between the screw direction and the module plane should be approximately 39° in females and 35° in males,and the angle between the screw direction and the long axis of the module approximately 55°.

Objective To explore the dietary intakes of carotenoids in Chinese adults.Method One hundred and eighty four 30-60 year-old adults(84 males and 100 females) from three different communities were recruited in the investigation.The dietary samples were collected by double-servings in every season of the year respectively.The double sample comprised all the foods of continuous 3 d at equal variety and quantity,and were analyzed by HPLC for the contents of ?-carotene,?-carotene,?-cryptoxanthin,lycopene,and lutein/zeaxanthin.Results The dietary samples were collected and analyzed from 184,184,169,and 161 subjects in summer,autumn,winter and spring respectively.The dietary intakes of ?-carotene,?-carotene,?-cryptoxanthin,lycopene,and lutein+zeaxanthin in the investigated subjects in summer were 2.48?2.71mg,276.6?469.4 ?g,86.9?241.4 ?g,2.16?3.38 mg,and 1.48?1.65 mg respectively.Those in autumn were 3.39?4.10 mg,271.7?462.8 ?g,339.9?1016.8 ?g,0.25?1.34 mg and 2.07?3.00 mg respectively.Those in winter were 2.85?3.76 mg,302.7?622.6 ?g,108.8?142.3 ?g,0.36?1.46 mg and 1.97?3.00 mg.and those in spring were 3.76?3.35 mg,162.4?413.9 ?g,42.1?93.8 ?g,0.86?1.39 mg and 6.10?6.26 mg respecfively.The lycopene intakes were relatively higher in summer,?-cryptoxanthin higher in autumn,and lutein/ zeaxanthin higher in spring.The intakes of ?-and ?-carotene were relatively less fluctuated by seasons.Generally,the subjects from the central urban community consumed more carotenoids than those from the outskirt community and the rural village,with the only exception of lutein/zeaxanthin intake in spring.Conclusion The dietary carotenoids intakes in Chinese adults were studied,and the data would be helpful for further researches about carotenoids nutrition among Chinese population.

Objective: To analyze the relationship between inflammatory factors and relevant risk factors in patients of essential hypertension (EH) combining acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with its clinical significance. Methods: Our research included 3 groups: EH group, n=79 patients with standard criteria, EH+ACS group, n=85 and Control group, n=48 normal subjects. Blood levels of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), tryptase (TPS) and relevant clinical, biochemical parameters were measured; risk factors for cardiovascular disease were examined and the relationship between above parameters, risk factors and ACS occurrence in EH patients was studied by Logistic regression analysis. Results: The OR values were all greater than 1 in fibrinogen (Fbg), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), TPS, atherosclerotic plaque, Lp-PLA2 and EH grading. Fbg was the most significant independent risk factor (OR=22.242, 95% CI 6.458-76.609, P<0.0001), the standardized partial regression coefficient b'as absolute value (b') was 1.079 which was the highestone in above 6 variables with the strongest impact for ACS occurrence in EH patients. Conclusion: Fbg, hs-CRP, TPS, atherosclerotic plaque and EH grading were the independent risk factors for ACS occurrence in EH patients; Fbg was the highest risk factor for ACS occurrence with the strongest impact, which provided a new direction for ACS prevention and treatment.

Human milk is the optimal food for infants. We described the history of human milk research both in China and abroad, the gap between domestic and international research, and the future direction in this area. Human milk needs to be studied as a biological system in the future. Reference values for human milk components of Chinese healthy mother-infant dyad should be established. Factors associated with human milk components variations and relationships between human milk components and maternal and child health also need to be investigated to achieve the best nutrition and health status for mother and child pairs.

Breast milk and breastfeeding are the main focus of scientific research on breast milk. Previous studies in the past two centuries have shown that breast milk is the product of human evolution over 200 million years; that breast milk is a gold standard for infant feeding to meet their nutritional requirement, and human milk can also be used clinically for life-saving or health promotion of infants. Breastfeeding is the best way to achieve normal growth and development of infants and maintain their health. The challenges of breastfeeding behavior and the influence of social-economic or other possible factors have contributed to the poor improvement of exclusive breastfeeding rate of infants up to the age of 6 months in the world. Noting the preciseness and urgency of scientific research on human milk, research in the future should focus on the construction of national standard and monitoring system for human milk composition, the establishment of national basic strategic data resources, updating the latest evidence and technological innovation in human milk science, and propose a practical plan to resolve problems in breastfeeding in China.
