Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupoint injection of mouse nerve growth factor in treating lumbar intervertebral disc herniation (LIDH).Method Totally 120 LIDH patients were randomized into a treatment group, control group 1, and control group 2, 40 cases in each group. Control group 2 was intervened by dehydration therapy; the treatment group was by acupoint injection of mouse nerve growth factor in addition to the intervention given to control group 2; control group 1 was by muscular injection of Trivitamin B in addition to the intervention given to control group 2. The common peroneal nerve and posterior tibial nerve conduction velocities and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were observed before and after treatment, and the clinical efficacies were compared among the three groups.Result The recovery and markedly effective rate was 97.5% in the treatment group, versus 92.5% in control group 1 and 85.0% in control group 2, and the rate in the treatment group was significantly different from that in control group 1 and 2 (P<0.05). Respectively 14 d and a month after intervention, the VAS scores were significantly different from that before treatment in the three groups (P<0.05). Respectively 14 d and 1 month after the intervention, the VAS score in the treatment group was significantly different from that in control group 1 and 2 (P<0.05). The common peroneal nerve and posterior tibial nerve conduction velocities a month after the intervention were significantly different from that before the intervention in the three groups (P<0.05). A month after the intervention, the posterior tibial nerve and peroneal nerve conduction velocities in the treatment group were significantly different from that in control group 1 and 2 (P<0.05). Conclusion Acupoint injection of mouse nerve growth factor is an effective way in treating LIDH.

0.05),but the duration of the peaking period, the time for improving one grade, the time for reaching 2 grade, and the hospitalization was significantly shorter in patients treated with steroid than without steroid(P0.05). (3) The major side effects included Cushing's reaction and the infection of the upper respiratory tract.Conclusion Steroids can quicken the recovery of GBS, and shortened average hospitalization in patients with GBS, but steroid doesn't alter the incidence rate of the sequel and the severity of the disability at 1 year in the course.It has no side reaction to use steroid reasonably.

Objective To assess the correlation between the pregnancy‐associated plasma protein A (PAPP‐A)level with gesta‐tional diabetes mellitus(GDM )in primiparous women .Methods The nonparametric test and Logistic regression analysis were used to retrospectively analyze 168 pregnant women of GDM and 273 normal pregnant women ,including age ,body weight ,PAPP‐A ,freeβ‐human chorionic gonadotropin(fβ‐hCG) .Results The age had significant difference between GDM group and control group(P<0 .01) ,the PAPP‐A concentration and corrected multiple of the median (MoM )of PAPP‐A in the GDM group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0 .01) .Conclusion Low level of PAPP‐A during early pregnant stage in primiparas is strongly associated with GDM and can be used as the risk factor of GDM .

Objective To investigate the effects of preemptive analgesia with nalbuphine on inflammatory factors in elderly patients undergoing thoracotomy. Methods Eighty elderly patients with ASA I or Ⅱ undergoing thoracotomy were randomly allocated into control group (group C:n=40) and Nalbuphine group (group N:n=40). Each patient received 20 mg of Nalbuphine intravenously before induction of anesthesia in group N and same volume of normal saline in group C. Plasma levels of IL-10, TNF-α and IL-6 were measured at different time points. The VAS was recorded and the MAP, HR, SpO2 and PaCO2 were monitored. Results Compared with group C, the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were lower, while IL-10 was higher at T2, T3, T4 in group N(P < 0.05). The VAS, MAP, HR and PaCO2 in group N were lower than those in group C at T2, T3 and T4 (P < 0.05). Conclusion Preemptive analgesia with Nalbuphine can improve the efficacy of postoperative analgesia and effectively reduce inflammatory reaction in the old patients undergoing thoracotomy.

Objective To investigate the role of perioperative antiviral therapy with Entecavir for patients with hepatitis B virus related hepatocellular carcinoma (HBV-HCC) with low serum HBV DNA levels.Methods The HVB-HCC patients were randomly divided into 2 groups.Patients in the antiviral group received Entecavir 4 days before hepatic resection while patients in the control group received no antiviral treatment.The serum HBV DNA,liver function,morbidity and length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups.Results Sixteen patients in the control group (n =44) developed HBV reactivation.On the other hand,only 1 patient in the antiviral group (n =44) developed HBV reactivation.Recovery in liver function in the antiviral group was much faster than the control group,especially for glutamic-pyruvic transaminase level.The antiviral group had significantly lower morbidity and shorter total or postoperative hospitalization (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Patients with HBV-HCC with low levels of HBV DNA have a high risk of developing HBV reactivation in the perioperative period.Perioperative antiviral therapy was safe and efficacious in preventing HBV reactivation,improved liver function,reduced postoperative complications and shortened hospitalization.

Objective: To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture plus occupation therapy for fine motor functions in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods:A total of 80 cerebral palsy kids with fine motor dysfunction were allocated into two groups by envelop, 40 cases in each group. Cases in the control group were treated with occupation therapy. Based on the therapy given to the control group, cases in the treatment group were supplemented with acupuncture at the points of the three yang meridians of hand. The treatment was done every other day and 10 times for a course. There was a 15-day interval between two courses, and 3 courses in total. The therapeutic efficacies were evaluated using Peabody developmental motor scale 2 (PDMS-2) and modified Ashworth scale (MAS) before and after treatment. Results:After treatment, the standard score for grasping (Grs), standard score for visual-motor integration (Vis), fine motor quotient (FMQ) and modified Ashworth scale (MAS) were significantly improved in both groups (P<0.05). The improvement in the treatment group was more obvious than that in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion:Acupuncture plus occupation therapy can achieve better effect than occupation therapy alone in improving fine motor functions of upper limbs in cerebral palsy kids.

ObjectiveTo understand the difference in characteristics between juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) and adult dermatomyositis (ADM).Methods Sixty-one cases of JDM were retrospectively analyzed and compared with 30 cases of ADM. Results The rashes were presented as the initial symptom in all expect one JDM patients. Gottron’s papules were presented in 90% JDM patients and 67% ADM patients. Calcium deposition was presented in 7% JDM patients and none of the ADM patients. The cardiovascular system was involved in 7 % JDM patients and 23% ADM patients. Cancer occurred in none of JDM patients and 13% ADM patients. In JDM and ADM patients, the ratio of elevated muscle enzymes from highest to lowest was LDH, hy-droxybutyric acid enzyme, CK-MB, AST, and CK. The positive ratio of magnetic resonance (MRI) all exceeded 80% in JDM and ADM groups. Two cases died in each group.Conclusions The clinical presentation of JDM is basically the same as that of ADM. The most common initial symptoms in JDM are skin rashes and Gottron's papules. Cardiovascular disease and cancer are less in JDM than in ADM. MRI is valuable in the diagnosis of DM.

Objective To investigate the features and neural mechanisms of sustained attention and executive function in patients with acute mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) by comparing and analyzing behavioral and event-related potentials of patients and healthy controls.Methods Seventeen patients with acute mTBI and seventeen healthy controls participated in a cued continuous performance test.Behavioral data and event-related potentials were collected and analyzed.Results 1.There were significant differences between the mTBI group and the control group in hitting number ((66.76±3.27), (69.12± 1.41)) ,reaction time((533.66±144.20) ms, (413.03±94.57) ms) and the number of errors of omission ((3.24±3.27), (0.88± 1.41)) (P＜0.05), but no significant differences in the number of false errors ((0.35±1.00), (0.53±0.87)) (P＞0.05).2.The amplitude of Go-N2 and Nogo-N2 were significantly smaller in mTBI group than that in control group (P＜0.05).The main effect of group was significant of N2 amplitude (P＜0.05), but main effect of condition and the interaction effect were not significant(P＞0.05).Group and condition had no significant main effect and interaction effect on the latency of N2 (P＞0.05).The amplitude of Go-P3 was significantly smaller in mTBI group than that in control group (P＜0.05),while not on the amplitude of Nogo-P3(P＞0.05).The main effect of group and condition were significant on P3 amplitude (P＜0.05),but the interaction effect was not significant(P＞0.05).Group and condition had no significant main effect and interaction effect on the amplitude of P3 (P＞0.05).Conclusion Patients with mTBI show impairments in sustained attention and conflict monitoring, but not in response inhibition.
