Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of electronic moxibustion apparatus and stone needle for primary dysmenorrhea disease in 35 cases.Methods 70 patients were randomly divided into the treatment group of 35 cases by random number table ,using electronic moxibustion apparatus and stone needle for treatment;and con-trol group of 35 cases,only using electronic moxibustion apparatus for treatment from 5 days before menstruation ,the treatment was continuous for 5 days,a course including 3 menstruation cycles .The clinical therapeutic effect after one treatment course was observed .Results The curative effects of the two groups were respectively 91.42% and 88.57%(χ2 =0.16,P>0.05);recovery rates of the two groups were respectively 77.14%and 42.85%(χ2 =8.57, P<0.05).The scores of the VAS,CMSS of the treatment group were much lower than those of the control group after treatment (t=2.532,2.137,2.256,P<0.05).Conclusion Electronic moxibustion apparatus and stone needle therapy is an effective method to treat primary dysmenorrhea ,which is a safe and convenient method .

Objective:To investigate the clinical value ofplatelet distribution width ratio (RDW) and neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in the prediction of coronary no reflow in patients treated with acute percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods:66 patients underwent emergency PCI treatment in our hospital from January 2016 December 2016 were selected as the research object,RDW and NLR of the patients before treatment were detected,and coronary no reflow phenomenon after emergency PCI rate were statistically calculated.RDW and NLR of patients with no reflow and normal blood flow were compared,the relationship between RDW and NLR with no reflow and the value of them predicting coronary no reflow were analyzed.Results:The incidence of coronary no reflow after emergency PCI was 30.30% (20/66).Compared with patients with normal blood flow,the RDW and NLR of patients with coronary no reflow were elevate (P<0.05).Spearman correlation analysis results showed that RDW and NLR were positively correlated with coronary no reflow (r=0.826,0.878,P<0.05).Further ROC curve analysis showed that AUC of preoperative RDW combined with NLR predicting the postoperative coronary no reflow in patients treated with emergency PCI were higher than RDW and NLR alone.Conclusion:RDW and NLR in patients treated with emergency PCI were closely related to the postoperative coronary no reflow,which might be used as reference index for evaluation of coronary no reflow after emergency PCI.

Aim To explore the behavior and CBS /H2 S levels of hippocampus in post traumatic stress dis-order (PTSD)rats and study the effect of exogenous H2 S on PTSD rats.Methods Single prolonged stress paradigm was adopted to prepare PTSD animal model. Morris water maze test was adopted to test space learn-ing and memory ability.CBS /H2 S content in hippo-campus tissue sample was measured using Western blot and methylene blue method.In vivo extracellular single unit recording was used to examine the frequency of spontaneous discharges of hippocampus neurons.Re-sults ① Escape latency increased and quadrant time (%)and platform crossing times decreased in Morris water maze test of PTSD group compared with normal group(P <0.01 ).CBS /H2 S level in hippocampus tis-sue of PTSD group also decreased compared with nor-mal group (P <0.01 ,P <0.05 ).② Escape latency decreased and quadrant time(%)and platform cross-ing times increased in Morris water maze test of NaHS+PTSD group compared with PTSD group(P <0.01 ).③ L-cysteine increased the frequency of spontaneous discharges of hippocampus neurons(P < 0.01 ).Con-clusions Learning and memory ability decrease in PTSD model rats owing to the inhibition of CBS /H2 S content in hippocampus tissue.The mechanism of be-havior improvement of H2 S on PTSD model rat is possi-bly related to the excitation of H2 S on frequency of spontaneous discharges of hippocampus neurons.

Objective To investigate the characteristic of lipoprotein(a)[Lp(a)]in different phases of chronic kidney disease (CKD ),to provide the basis for clinical prevention and treatment of CKD.Methods 200 patients with CKD in the Republic Hospital of Shifang were collected as study group,including 5 phases (every phase had 40 cases),and 100 healthy people were selected as control group.Measured the serum Lp(a)of both study and control group,analyzed the correlations between Lp(a)and different phase of CKD.All data were analyzed by SPSS version 17.0.The significant level was established at 0.05.Results CKD1 [(146.0 ±95.5)mg/L]and all CKD group [(231.5 ±133.2)mg/L]had higher level of serum Lp(a)than the control group [(115.5 ±70.2)mg/L] (Z=-2.800,P<0.05 and Z=-7.922,P<0.05).CKD3 had higher Lp(a)level than CKD2(Z=-2.069,P<0.05 ),while there were no significant differences between each of the other two groups.CKD4 -5 [(325 .0 ± 194.7)mg/L]also had higher Lp(a)level than CKD1 -3 [(182.0 ±110.5)mg/L](Z=-4.439,P<0.05). Conclusion Patients with CKD always have high level of serum Lp(a),which have been slowly increased since CKD1 ,meanwhile the level of Lp(a)may have a certain correlation with the stage of CKD development,since Lp(a) is an important promoting factor in the progress of CKD.

Background and Objectives:
Systemic scleroderma (SSc) is a rare and serious connective tissue disease, an autoimmune disease, and a rare refractory disease. In this study, preventive effect of single systemic human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) transfusion on SSc was preliminarily explored.
Methods:
and Results: SSc mouse model was established by daily intradermal injection of Hypochlorite (HOCl). SSc mice were treated by single transfusion of UC-MSCs at 0.625×10 5 , 2.5×105 and 1×106 respectively. At the 42nd day of intradermal injection of HOCl, the symptoms showed up by skin and alveolar wall thickening, lymphocytic infiltration, increased collagen in skin/lung, and the increased proportion of CD3 + CD4+ CD25+ FoxP3+ cells (a Treg subset) in spleen. After UC-MSCs transfusion, the degree of skin thickening, alveolar wall thickening and lymphocyte infiltration were decreased, the collagen sedimentation in skin/lung was decreased, and the proportion of CD3+ CD4+ CD25+FoxP3+ cells was decreased.
Conclusions
UC-MSC can achieve a preventive effect in SSc mice by fibrosis attenuation and immunoregulation.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of vericiguat in the treatment of heart failure (HF) by rapid health technology evaluation method, and provide reference for the selection and decision-making of clinical treatment plans. METHODS Chinese and foreign databases such as CNKI, PubMed and related health technology evaluation websites were searched by computer. Relevant researchers independently screened literature, extracted data, and comprehensively analyzed the results of the included literature based on literature quality evaluation. RESULTS A total of 17 pieces of literature were included, involving 12 systematic reviews/meta-analyses and 5 pharmacoeconomic studies. The effectiveness analysis showed: for HF patients, compared with placebo, vericiguat (10 mg/d) significantly improved the EuroQol five dimensions questionnaire (EQ-5D) index and decreased the rate of hospitalization due to HF (P<0.05). For heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients, vericiguat reduced the incidence of hospitalization due to HF compared with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i)(P<0.05); compared with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, vericiguat significantly reduced the occurrence risk of composite endpoints of cardiovascular death or hospitalization due to HF(P<0.05). For HFrEF patients with chronic kidney disease, vericiguat had a tendency to reduce the occurrence risk of composite endpoints of cardiovascular death or hospitalization due to HF compared with neurohormone inhibitors. Safety analysis showed: vericiguat did not increase drug-related adverse reactions compared to placebo (P>0.05). Economic analysis showed: domestic studies indicated that vericiguat had a higher incremental cost-effectiveness ratio. CONCLUSIONS Vericiguat has good safety and efficacy in the treatment of HF but does not possess an economic advantage in the Chinese population.
