Acupoint selection:Tianshu, Zusanli, Taichong, Xingjian, Qimen, Baihui, Neiguan. Observe constipation symptoms, depressive symptoms, and quality of life and serum 5-HT levels before and after treatment. [Result] The pre-treatment constipation symptoms and depressive symptom scores in two groups were decreased than post-treatment( P<0.05), which showed two methods can improve constipation and depressive symptoms of IBS-C patients. After treatment, constipation symptoms and depressive symptoms score in acupuncture group were lower than that in control group(P<0.05), which showed the effect of acupuncture was better. The eight dimensions of SF-36 were higher than those before treatment in total patients(P<0.05), which showed two methods can improve quality of life of patients; differences of physiological function, physiological function between acupuncture group and control group had no statistical significance( P>0.05), but body pain, vitality, emotional function, mental health, social function, and general health values were higher than that of the control group( P<0.05), which showed acupuncture treatment can reduce physical discomfort and improve the quality of life of patients. After treatment,serum 5-HT in control group was 33.8 pg/ml, in acupuncture group was 27.6 pg/m, which were lower than pre-treatment. 5-HT in acupuncture group was lower than control group( P<0.05), which showed the effect of acupuncture on regulation of 5-HT was more significant. [Conclusion]Shugan Jianpi Tiaoshen acupuncture can modulate 5-HT level of elderly patients with IBS-C, and play its role in modulating gastrointestinal function, improving constipation symptoms, depressive symptoms and quality of life.It is an effective method for the treatment of elderly patients with IBS-C.

Clinical thoughts based on symptoms, physical signs and examine outcomes is a process of analysis, judgement and conclusion of disease diagnosis. To cultivate an exact thinking model can avoid taking a part for the whole or a miss in disease analysis, so to cultivate clinical thoughts in clinical practice can elevate medical students'clinical skills.

OBJECTIVE:To establish an optimal method for microbial limit test for ciclopirox olamine vaginal suppository.METHODS:The microbial limit test for antibacterial agents was validated by plating method and membrane filtration method,and the optimal method for the test of bacteria and mold were confirmed based on the recovery rate of artificially sprayed bacteria.RESULTS:By plating method,the recovery rate of artificially sprayed E.coli was more than 70%,whereas that of mould was 0%;however,by membrane filtration method,the recovery rates of bacterial and mould were all higher than 70% when flushing doses of bacteria,mold,and control bacteria were 200 mL,300 mL,and 200 mL,respectively.CONCLUSIONS:The membrane filtration method could be used for the microbial limit test of the preparation the drug quality can be kept under effective control,and the established method is accurate and reliable.

Objective:To reflect the training of basic-level medical stuff by investigating the doctor-patient cognition status of patients in a county-level hospital.Methods:The questionnaire of 180 patients collected from a county hospital in Shaanxi province was analyzed by Rank sum test and Descriptive analysis with SPSS17.0.ReSults:There were no statistically significant differences in the evaluation of current doctor-patient relationship from patients of different ages,occupations and degrees of education (P ＞ 0.05).82.2％ of the patients believed that the doctor-patient relationship is harmonious or somewhat harmonious.Moreover although the patient's trust in doctors is not high,there is a certain sense of recognition;and they put forward some expectation and requirements on doctor's professional skills,communication skills and professionalism.Conclusion:Considering the patients' feedback,local medical colleges and universities should reflect medical education ideas,play an active synergy model in the training of students' professional skills.In the meantime,they should strengthen the medical internship management,while paying equal attention to enhance students' responsibility and professionalism to serve the grassroots.

Applying the principle of Evidence-Based Medicine to the clinical teaching,we have made the students raise the cognition level on the diagnose of diseases and treating policy and trained their clinical logic thinking ability.

OBJECTIVE: Comparison of operation of epitympanic/antrum cholesteatoma excised by endoscopy and microscope. METHOD: Eleven patients with epitympanic/antrum cholesteatoma were analysed, 5 cases were excised by endoscopy and 6 cases were excised under microscope. RESULT: No complication occurred after operation and all patients got dried ear. There were no difference in hearing recovery and closure of perforation of tympanic membrane between two group. The operation time, injury degree, length of stay in hospital and hospitalization expense with endoscopy was superior to that of microscope. CONCLUSION Considering financial constraints of patients, resection of epitympanic/antrum cholesteatoma cholesteatoma can be adopted by endoscopy.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)is the most common progressive liver disease worldwide.Currently,there is no satisfy-ing treatment for NAFLD.Research progress in fatty acid bile acid conjugates (FABACs)and ursodeoxycholyl lysophosphatidylethanolamide (UDCA-LPE),which are two novel liver targeted drugs with anti-NAFLD effects,is reviewed.FABACs,which reduce liver fat in pa-tients with NAFLD induced by high-fat diet by regulating lipid metabolism,have been proved effective in preventing and treating NAFLD. The safety and efficacy of FABACs in NAFLD patients have been confirmed in a phase II,randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled trial.UDCA-LPE can not only reduce liver fat in NAFLD patients,but also inhibit mitochondrial damage and apoptosis and promote hepa-tocyte regeneration,with a marked anti-inflammatory effect during the development of NAFLD.Therefore,FABACs and UDCA-LPE hold promise for preventing and treating NAFLD.
