Objective To assess the therapeutic effect of music- regulated laser therapy on mild and moderate primary hypertension (PH) so as to provide clinical evidence for the development of an effective non-drug therapy for hypertension. Methods One hundred mild and moderate PH patients were divided into obser-vation ( n = 50 ) and control groups ( n = 50 ) according to their stage of hypertension. There were two phases of treatment with 6 weeks in each phase for a total of 12 weeks. In the first phase, patients in the observation group received music-regulated laser therapy while the control group received drug therapy. In the second phase, the treatments were reversed, with the observation group receiving the drugs. The blood pressure and quality of life (QOL) of all the patients was evaluated after each phase. Results Before therapy there were no significant differences in average blood pressure or QOL between the groups. After the first phase, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) had been reduced significantly in both groups, but the decrease was significantly greater in the control group. The score on each item of the QOL evaluation was not significantly different between the two groups. After the second phase, blood pressure had decreased further in the observation group, but no significant change was observed in the control group, and there was no significant difference in blood pressure between two groups. The scores on each item of the QOL evaluation were not significantly different between the two groups, but average somatic symptoms, healthy and pleasant feelings, task perform-ance and life satisfaction were significantly ameliorated in both groups. Conclusions Music-regulated laser therapy can lower the blood pressure of mild and moderate PH patients effectively. Compared with antihyperten-sion drugs, music-regulated laser therapy provides a weaker effect in lowering blood pressure, but plays an e-quivalent role in improving the QOL of patients.

Epilepsy is a widespread neurological disease, which can be caused by any pathological process that may affect the structure and function of the brain.It encompasses a spectrum of pathologies rather than a singular entity.Early detection and diagnosis is the key to controlling the progression of epilepsy and improving the prognosis.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a clinically recognized method for the examination of epilepsy because of its non-ionizing radiation damage and excellent soft tissue resolution and spatial resolution.With the upgrading of MRI equipment and the open application of new imaging technologies, such as multimodal MRI that integrates multiple magnetic resonance sequences, its multi-parameter imaging and high spatial resolution have completely changed the ability to detect lesions, making significant progress in understanding epilepsy from the anatomical structure, molecular level, and biochemical metabolism.This article reviews the advances in the application of multimodal MRI technology in childhood epilepsy.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between each dimension of emotional intelligence and interpersonal communication ability, and explore how to improve the interpersonal communication ability of residents through targeted emotional intelligence training.Methods:A total of 132 first-year residents of clinical medicine in the residency training base were jointly measured with emotional intelligence and interpersonal communication evaluation scale on the basis of self-assessment and grading. The differences between groups in self-assessment and grading were detected by one-way ANOVA, and the relationship between various dimensions of emotional intelligence and interpersonal communication ability was explored by correlation analysis and multiple linear stepwise regression analysis. SPSS 19.0 was used to conduct statistical analysis.Results:The self rating scale clearly divided the subjects into three levels. In the total score of emotional intelligence and its various dimensions, the differences between the three levels were statistically significant; the scores of the "good" group were higher than those of the "fair" group and the "slightly insufficient" group. There were statistical significance in the total score of emotional intelligence ( P<0.001) and its emotional perception ( P<0.001), self emotional management ( P<0.001), others' emotional management ( P<0.001) and emotional utilization ( P<0.001). In the total score of interpersonal communication ability and its various dimensions, the differences among the three levels were statistically significant. In the conflict management, the difference between the "good" group and the "fair" group was not statistically significant, and the differences in other items were statistically significant. The total score of emotional intelligence and its dimensions were positively correlated with interpersonal communication ability ( P<0.001), but the two dimensions that had the most significant impact on interpersonal communication ability were emotional perception and others' emotional management ( R2=0.531, P<0.001). Conclusion:By focusing on the cultivation of each dimensions of emotional perception and other emotional management for residents, it is expected to play a positive role in achieving the national goal of cultivating interpersonal communication skills.

The prevalence of osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, gouty arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and intervertebral disc degeneration is increasing year by year with the growing number of elderly people, and the common clinical manifestations of these diseases include severe pain in different areas, which seriously affects the daily life of the patients. Therefore, how to relieve the pain and reduce the prevalence of bone and joint diseases and improve the quality of life of the patients is a hot spot in the medical field. Studies have confirmed that NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes, as pattern recognition receptors, are involved in the inflammation, chondrocyte proliferation, osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation, intervertebral disc cell inflammation and scorching, extracellular matrix degradation and apoptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and reactive oxygen species damage, demonstrating close link with the development of bone and joint diseases. Chinese medicine has a long history and demonstrates remarkable therapeutic effects in the treatment of bone and joint diseases. It can mitigate the pathological changes of bone and joint diseases by inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasomes to alleviate the pain, playing a role in preventing and treating these diseases. Therefore, this paper briefly describes the relationship between NLRP3 inflammasomes and the development of bone and joint diseases by reviewing the latest research progress at home and abroad. We summarize the latest studies about the active components, extracts, and compound prescriptions of Chinese medicines in the treatment of bone and joint diseases via regulating NLRP3 inflammasomes. This review is expected to offer new insights into the in-depth research on the pathogenesis and drug treatment of bone and joint diseases and provide a basis for the clinical application of Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of such diseases.
