The ancient medical classics were retrieved to explore narrative on acupoints. And the relevant content of legal calendar in Shiji (Historical Records) and Hanshu (History of the Former Han Dynasty) were taken as a reference. The result showed that the total number of acu-points were based on the number of 365 days of a year. And the corrupts can be restored with the theory of numerology. The 59 heat point originated from the phase of moon, while the 57 water points originated from the number or year related with diasters. Although acupoints are considered to be related with numerology, the recognition of hot points and water points are held to be associated with experiential points in clinic.

Good palatability of pediatric drugs improves the accuracy of dosing and adherence to dosing regimens. Many active pharmaceutical ingredients have an undesirable taste, so effective taste masking methods need to be developed to improve the palatability of pediatric medicines. This article mainly introduces the commonly taste masking techniques and taste evaluation methods, and puts forward suggestions on the concerns and general principles of the pharmaceutical evaluation of taste masking effects based on cases, in order to provide reference for the development of drug taste masking technology in children.

A questionnaire survey on awareness of child health management was conducted in 238 family members ( 236 were parents) of children aged 0 - 36 months; among whom 92 of children aged 0 to 6 months,85 of children aged 7 to 12 months,33 of children aged 13 to 18 months,16 of children aged 19 to 24 months and 12 of children aged 24 to 36 months.52.1％ of the surveyees had college education level.The awareness about medical examination in last half year in female subjects was higher than males ( P ＜ 0.05).There were no differences in other health management knowledge.The results showed that the average times of medical examination was 2.8 ± 1.9 in last half year; the age for supplement of meat in food was 7.4 ± 2.4 mouths; supplement of meat,animal liver and eggs was more than 7 time a week.The subjects with college education or above paid more attention to the children's growth,risk for rickets and anemia than other peoples.Pure breast feeding accounted for only 37.0％ (88/238).The study indicates that strengthening the knowledge and awareness is necessary to improve the children health management.

Objective To observe the anti- inflammation and analgesic action and anti- urarthritis effect of modified Simiao prescription with polysaccharide removal and thus to screen the effective anti- gout components from modified Simiao prescription. Methods Mouse acetic- acid- induced twisting experiment, mouse xylene- induced auricular swelling experiment, and rat sodium- urate- induced pedal swelling experiment were carried out in this study. Results After the removal of polysaccharides, modified Simiao prescription still kept obvious anti- inflammation and analgesic action and in a dose- effect manner. Conclusion Polysaccharides removal has no influence on the anti- inflammation and analgesic action of modified Simiao prescription .

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture at the motor points of antagonistic muscles plus rehabilitation training in treating post-stroke strephenopodia. Method Seventy patients with post-stroke strephenopodia were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 35 in each group. The two groups both received conventional medication and Bobath rehabilitation; while the treatment group was additionally given electroacupuncture at the motor points of antagonistic muscles, and the control group was given regular acupuncture. The modified Ashworth scale (MAS), the maximum eversion range of ankle joint, and the surface electromyography (the root-mean-square, RMS) were observed before and after intervention.Result The MAS scores were changed significantly after intervention in both groups (P<0.05). After intervention, there was a significant difference in comparing the MAS score between the two groups (P<0.05). In the two groups, the maximum eversion range of ankle joint and RMS were significantly changed after the intervention (P<0.05). After intervention, there were significant differences in comparing the eversion range and RMS between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Electroacupuncture at the motor points of antagonistic muscles plus rehabilitation training is an effective approach in treating post-stroke strephenopodia, and it can improve the spasm and motion of ankle joint, and promote the walk ability.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) Ⅰ-gel for airway management in the patients requiring insertion of nasogastric tube before laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods Sixty patients,aged 26-64 yr,weighing 54-90 kg,of ASA physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ (Mallampati Ⅰ-Ⅲ),scheduled for elective laparoscopic surgery,were randomly divided into Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ groups (n =20 each) using a random number table.In group Ⅰ,the nasogastric tube was inserted through the drain tube of LMA I-gel.In group Ⅱ,the nasogastric tube was inserted through the nostril before surgery.In group Ⅲ,the nasogastric tube was inserted through the nostril before surgery,and another nasogastric tube was inserted through the drain tube of LMA I-gel after induction of anesthesia.The hemodynamic parameters,SpO2,PET CO2 and peak airway pressure were monitored during surgery.The fiberoptic laryngoscopy scores were assessed and the development of nasogastric tube displacement was recorded after successful LMA placement.The LMA placement time,success rate of LMA placement at the first attempt,depth of placement,airway sealing pressure,and occurrence of air leakage of LMA and nasogastric tube drainage were recoded.The bloodstains and gastroesophageal reflux were observed after removal of LMA Ⅰ-gel.The pH values were tested at the tip of LMA and on the dorsal and ventral sides of the body of LMA by using pH test papers.The development of adverse reactions in the oropharynx was recorded within 24 h after surgery.Results The hemodynamics was stable and SpO2,peak airway pressure and PETCO2 were all within the normal range during surgery,and Ppeak was lower than airway sealing pressure in the three groups.There were no significant differences between the three groups in LMA placement time,success rate of LMA placement at the first attempt,depth of placement,airway sealing pressure,incidence of air leakage of LMA,fiberoptic laryngoscopy scores,time for removal of LMA I-gel,incidences of adverse reactions in the oropharynx,bloodstains within the body of LMA and gastroesophageal reflux,and pH values at the tip of LMA and on the dorsal and ventral sides of the body of LMA.There was no nasogastric tube displacement in Ⅱ and Ⅲ groups.There were 7 patients developing gastric juice outflow from drainage tube of the LMA I-gel and 2 patients developing gastric juice outflow from the nostril gastrictubes in group Ⅱ.Conclusion For the patients requiring insertion of nasogastric tube before laparoscopic cholecystectomy,insertion of LMA I-gel is easy,and I-gel LMA can assure good airway sealing and adequate ventilation.

Fused teeth is defined as the union of enamel and dentin of two or more teeth germs,yielding a single tooth during tooth develop-ment.Their treatment is complex and usually need multidisciplinary approaches.This report presents a case of fused teeth treated by he-misection and discusses the clinical features and treatment options.
