Objective To observe the application effect of point massage combined with physiotherapy in the treatment of insomnia for community elderly.Methods 30 elderly patients with insomnia who accepted point massage combined with physiotherapy were selected as observation group,and 30 elderly patients treated in tertiary hospital with insomnia who took alprazolamum for treatment were selected as control group.The SRSS score of the two groups before and after treatment,as well as treatment efficacy were compared.Results The insomnia treatment efficacy of the observation group was higher than that of the control group(Z =2.45,P <0.05).The SRSS rating of the observation group before treatment was (30.76 ±7.1 9)points and after treatment was (1 5.43 ±3.95)points.The SRSS rating of the control group before treatment was (32.33 ±6.98)points,which after treatment was (21 .93 ±6.73)points.The SRSS scores of both two groups after treatment were decreased (t =1 0.23,5.87,all P <0.05),with obvious differ-ences.The SRSS scores of the observation group decreased more obviously and was lower than that of the control group (t =4.56,P <0.05).Conclusion The point massage combined with physiotherapy can effectively improve insomnia of the elderly,which is also with advantages of easy operation and no obvious side effects and high cooperation degree etc,and it is suitable to be promoted in community.

OBJECTIVE:Study regarding Smad3/transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)signal transduction in pathological scars mainly focus on in vitro cultured fibroblasts,however,the correlation study was rare on keloid.The aim of this study is to detect the expressions of Smad3 and TGF-β1,and investigate their relationship in pathogenesis and development of pathological scars METHODS:Experimental samples were obtained frOm the patients who underwent burn and plastic surgery at the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery,Workers'Hospital of Tangshan,Hebei Medical University,from June 2004 to June 2008,including 48 patients with Keloid,aged 16-52 years,and 40 patients with hypertrophic scars aged 18-56 years.Normal skins from additional 40 cases were served as controls The expressions of Smad3 and TGF-β1 protein in keloid,hypertrophic scars and normal skin were examined by flow cytometry.RESULTS:The expression of Smad3 and TGF-β1 were obviously greater in the experimental group than that of the control group (P＜0.05),but the difference between keloid and hypertrophic scars had no significance(P＞0.06).There was a positive correlation between Smad3 and TGF-β1 in keloid and hypertrophic scars(r=0 489 2,P=0.000 4:r=0.471 0,P=0.002 2).No notable correlation was found between Smad3 and TGF-β1 in normal skins(P=0.471 4).CONCLUSION:The expressions of Smad3 and TGF-β1 are up-regulated and the synergism of Smad3 and TGF-β1 may promote the development in pathological scars.

Since December 2019, a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV, SARS-CoV-2) pneumonia (COVID-19) outbreak has occurred in Wuhan, Hubei Province, and the epidemic situation has continued to spread. Such cases have also been found in other parts of the country. The spread of the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic has brought great challenges to the clinical practice of thoracic surgery. Outpatient clinics need to strengthen the differential diagnosis of ground glass opacity and pulmonary plaque shadows. During the epidemic, surgical indications are strictly controlled, and selective surgery is postponed. Patients planning to undergo a limited period of surgery should be quarantined for 2 weeks and have a nucleic acid test when necessary before surgery. For patients who are planning to undergo emergency surgery, nucleic acid testing should be carried out before surgery, and three-level protection should be performed during surgery. Patients who are planning to undergo emergency surgery in the epidemic area should be confirmed with or without novel coronavirus pneumonia before operation, and perform nucleic acid test if necessary. Surgical disinfection and isolation measures should be strictly carried out. Among postoperative patients, cases with new coronavirus infection were actively investigated. For the rescue of patients with novel coronavirus infection, attention needs to be paid to prevention and treatment and related complications, including mechanical ventilation-related pneumothorax or mediastinal emphysema, and injury after tracheal intubation.
