Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture and rehabilitation exercises in the treatment of cerebral infarction.Methods:Seventy-four patients with cerebral infarction were randomized into treatment group and control group in visit sequence.Thirty-seven cases in treatment group were treated with electroacupuncture and rehabilitation exercises,and other 37 cases in control group were treated with electroacupuncture alone.The treatment was given once a day and there was a 2-day interval after any consecutive 5 treatments.After total 30 treatments,Fugl-Meyer scale was used to evaluate motor function and Barthel Index to evaluate the activities of daily living.Results:After treatments,the motor function of paralyzed limb and activities of daily living were obviously improved in both groups,with more significant improvement in treatment group than in control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Combination of electroacupuncture and rehabilitation exercises has better effects than simple electroacupuncture in the treatment of cerebral infarction.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy of Ningmitai capsule for treatment of patients with diabetic urinary tract infection.Methods A total of 100 diabetes patients with urinary tract infection from Zunyi First People's Hospital in Guizhou Province and Longkou Family Planning Service Station in Shandong Province wereenrolled in the study and randomly divided into control and treatment groups after they were informed and gave consent. With basic therapy to lower blood glucose, 65 cases in the treatment group were treated with Ningmitai capsule(4 granules/time, every grain of 0.38 g), while another 35 cases of the control group were given Sanjin tablets (4 granules/time, every grain of 0.29 g), 3 times a dayfor 2 weeks in both groups. Before and after treatment, the clinical effect, blood routine, urine routine, blood glucose, negative conversion ratio of midstream urine bacteria culture and tradition Chinese medicine syndrome curative effect in both groups were observed.Results The total effective rate of treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group〔88.52%(54/61) vs. 70.59%(24/34),P<0.01〕. Before treatment, the differences in red blood cell(RBC) and white blood cell(WBC) count in urine samples as well as RBC, WBC, hemoglobin(Hb) and glucose in blood samples had no statistical significance in the comparisons between the two groups(allP>0.05). Compared with those before treatment, after treatment, the urinary RBC and WBC were decreased in treatment group, while in control group WBC was decreased but RBC increased, and in the comparisons of above indexes between the two groups there were statistical significant differences〔RBC(cell/μL): 1.99±0.59 vs. 9.11±3.76, WBC(cell/μL): 23.09±6.18 vs. 63.72±25.76, bothP<0.05〕. The blood RBC was significantly lowered after treatment in control group(×109/L: 3.93±0.40 vs. 4.02±0.39,P<0.05). In both groups, after treatment, WBC, Hb and glucose in blood were reduced in comparisons to those before treatment, and no statistical significant differences were found(allP>0.05). Negative conversion ratio of midstream urine bacterial culture in treatment group was significantly higher than that in control group〔80%(4/5) vs. 0(0/2)〕. Syndromes of traditional Chinese medicine were ameliorated at different degrees after treatment in both groups. The effectiveness of treatment group on urinary urgency, yellowish turbid urine and swelling pain in lower abdomen were obviously more valid than that of control group〔urinary urgency: 90.0%(54/60) vs. 61.8%(21/34), yellowish turbid urine: 75.0%(39/52) vs. 47.6%(10/21), swelling pain in lower abdomen: 74.5%(35/47) vs. 70.6%(12/17),P<0.05 orP<0.01〕, but other symptoms were similar in the two groups(allP>0.05).ConclusionThe clinical efficacy of Ningmitai capsule is better than that of Sanjin tablet for treatment of patients with diabetic urinary tract infection, and no adverse reaction has been seen in clinical observation.

ObjectiveTo study the clinical significance of determination on homocysteine in serum of pediatric idiopathic epilepsy. MethodsThe homocysteine level in serum of 81 patients with pediatric idiopathic epilepsy was determined,and the value of normal children was tested and compared as control. ResultsThe concentration of Hey in research group was from 7.6mol/L to 22.0μmol/L,the mean value was(15.91 ±2.38)μmol/L,The concentration of Hcy in control group was from 3μmol/L to 9μmol/L,and the mean value was(6.87 ± 1.75)μmol/L.which showed a significant difference(P＜0.05).By comparison,the high concentration(＞15 μmol/L)of Hcy in control group was only 6 cases,while it was 73 cases in research group,which also showed a significant difference (P＜0.05). ConclusionHcy level was apparently relevant with occurring rate of pediatric idiopathic epilepsy.In the diagnosed clinical treatment of idiopathic epilepsy,the closely monitor of serum level of homocysteine,and timely promoting Hcy metabolism.should be carried out.

Objective: To determine whether aminoguaidine（AG）,a selective inhibitor of inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS), affect the embroy development of mice, and to study the mechanisms of iNOS affecting on pregnancy. Methods: AG(10 mg*kg－1*d－1 or 20 mg*kg－1*d－1) were injected subcutaneously to mice from day 3，7，14. kill mice at day19. The weight of fetus and placenta, the number of fetus and fetal resorptions were measured. Histological changes of placenta and umbilical cord were observed. Immunohistochemistry and NADPH histochemistry were adopted to study NOS activity of placental and umbilical cord respectively. Results: The conceptus in the uterus were resorbed in the early pregnancy. In the early and middle pregnancy the weight of pregnant mouse and the number of fetus of AG groups was decreased. The number of fetal resorptions was increased. But the weight of fetus and placenta were not affected. The expression of iNOS in the placenta were no difference significantly between the two groups with image analysis. Conclusion: AG inhibits the implantation and growth of embryo in the early and middle pregnancy, buy doesn't affect the formed fetus and placenta significantly.

Objective To investigate effect of platelet-associated antibody to the platelet transfusion.Methods Platelet-associated antibody in 120 patients who needed repeated platelet transfusion for long-time was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),and platelet count was assayed before and after blood transfusion,and the effect of platelet transfusion was investigated by corrected platelet count.Crossmatch approcah was used to screen compatible platelet for patients with platelet relative antibody positive.Results The ratio of positive platelet-aasociated antibody in patients who needed repeated platelet transfusion was 65.0％,and the ratio of platelet transfusion resistance was 61.7％.The ratios of platelet transfusion resistance were 84.6％ and 19.0％ respectively in patients with positive platelet-associated antibody and in patients with negative platelet-associated antibody,which were different in statistic in both groups( x2 =,46.914,P ＜0.0l ).The effective ratio of platelet transfusion in patients with positive platelet-associated antibody after crossmatch approach was 85.9％.Conclusion Positive platelet-associated antibody was related to platelet transfusion resistance with high risk,and crossmatch approach could increase the effect of platelet transfusion.

Objective To study the effect of different transfusion measures on the clinical outcome in preterm infants.Methods 100 cases of blood transfusion in preterm infants were chosen.They were divided into restrictive transfusion group and non-restrictive transfusion group.The clinical outcomes of infants were recorded.Results The Hct of children with restrictive transfusion group pre-transfusion was(27.97±4.86) ％,which was significantly lower than pre-transfusion Hct of non-restrictive transfusion group(34.51±6.34) ％.The difference was statistically significant(t =3.78,P ＜ 0.05).The differences of each transfusion value,each blood transfusion and transfusion times for the two groups of infants were not statistically significant(t =0.59,0.37,0.68,all P ＞ 0.05).The invasive ventilator of the non-restrictive transfusion group was(5.73±4.95)d,significantly less than the restrictive transfusion group(7.61±5.72) d.The difference was statistically significant(t =2.36,P ＜ 0.05).The differences for the rest of the clinical outcomes for the two groups of infants were not statistically significant(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The reducing of non-restrictive transfusion invasive ventilator time may be more conducive to clinical recovery in preterm infants.The clinical should not blindly adopt conservative restrictive transfusion countermeasures.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinicalefficacies of ginger-partitioned moxibustion in three different periods, i.e. the canicular days, the Spring Equinox, and the Autumnal Equinox, in treating allergic Rhinitis.MethodEighty-nine patients with allergic rhinitis were elected and divided into3 groups by using the random number table (canicular group, Spring Equinox group, and Autumnal Equinox group), to receive the same treatment with same point selection. The change of serum IgE and improvement of symptoms were observed after the intervention in the three groups.ResultThe three groups all showed significant decrease of serum IgE and improvement in the symptoms of allergic rhinitis (P<0.05), and the therapeutic efficacy of the canicular group was markedly higher than that of the Spring Equinox group (P<0.05) and the Autumnal Equinox group (P<0.05).ConclusionThe canicular days are the optimal timeperiodfor the treatment of allergicrhinitis.

BACKGROUND: Diabetic cardiomyopathy, a serious complication of diabetes, is an important factor of increased mortality in patients with diabetes. Therefore, providing an effective experimental animal model is particularly important for studying the pathogenesis and treatment methods of diabetic cardiomyopathy. OBJECTIVE:To explore the method of establishing Wistar rat models of diabetic cardiomyopathy. METHODS:Forty rats were randomly divided into the control group (n=10) and diabetic cardiomyopathy group (n=30). The rats in the diabetic cardiomyopathy group were intraperitonealy injected with 60 mg/kg streptozotocin at a time to establish rat models of diabetic cardiomyopathy. The rats in the control group were given the same dosage of citric acid buffer by the same way. The rats in these two groups were al fed with non-fat high-sugar normal diet. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, after 3 weeks of injection with streptozotocinin in rat models of diabetic cardiomyopathy, blood glucose level was significantly increased, myocardial cels arranged in disorder, the nuclei were of different sizes, colagen content in the myocardial tissue was significantly increased, and colagen fibers were thick and disordered. In addition, the mRNA and protein levels of transforming growth factorβ1 and type I colagen, two indices reflecting myocardial fibrosis, were markedly increased. These results indicate that intraperitonealy injecting large doses of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg) at a time and feeding with non-fat high-sugar normal diet could establish a stable rat model of type 1 diabetic cardiomyopathy. This method is safe and effective with high feasibility.

BACKGROUND:Methylprednisolone has been used for the treatment of acute spinal cord injury but there is a dispute about the efficacy and safety of methylprednisolon. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of methylprednisolon based on system review. METHODS:PubMed database, EMBASE database, Cochrane Library, ISI Web of knowledge, CBM database, VIP database, CNKI database and Wanfang database were searched from their start year up to December 2014 for relevant randomized clinical trials on the treatment of acute spinal cord injury with methylprednisolon. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Twelve randomized clinical trials with 642 acute spinal cord injury patients were included. The results of the Meta analysis showed: methylprednisolone+conventional therapy was better to improve American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) motor function score, ASIA touch sensation score, ASIA pinprick sensation score and the overal Frankel score than the conventional therapy alone (control group) with statistical significance (P < 0.05). In the aspect of safety, the methylprednisolone group had higher death ratio, digestive tract reaction ratio and urinary infection ratio than the control group but with no statistical significance. The gastrointestinal bleeding ratio and lung infection ratio was significantly higher in the methylprednisolone group than the control group (P < 0.05). We conclude that methylprednisolone has protective effect on acute spinal cord injury, but the main side effects are gastrointestinal bleeding and lung infection. There is a need for high-quality randomized controled trials to prove the efficiency and safety of methylprednisolone.

Irritable bowel syndrome( IBS)is a commonly seen chronic functional bowel disease,the prevalence showed a rising trend in recent year in China. At present,the etiology and pathogenesis of IBS have not yet been fully elucidated,and may be related to intestinal gas. Intestinal gas is usually composed of 59% N2 ,21% H2 ,9% CO2 ,7%methane(CH4 )and 4% O2 ,in which H2 and CH4 are produced only by intestinal bacteria metabolism. IBS patients usually manifested as having abdominal distension and symptoms of flatulence,suggesting the occurrence of accumulation of intestinal gas. In recent years,the relationship between symptoms of IBS and intestinal gas has attracted much attention. This article reviewed the progress in study on symptoms of IBS and intestinal gas.
