[Objective] To observe the therapeutic effect of pressing- moxibustion on Baihui (DU20) point combined with electroacupuncture (EA) on cervical spondylosis (CS) of vertebral artery type. [Methods] A single - blind random - controll trial was carried out in 34 cases of CS of vertebral artery type. The cases were randomized into two groups: the treatment group (Group A, n = 17) treated with pressing- moxibustion on Baihui point and EA on bilateral Fengchi (GB20) point and Jiaji (EX - B2) point of impaired vertebrae and the control group (Gropup B, n = 17) with EA alone. Plasma contents of thromboxane 82 (TXB2), 6-keto-prostaglandin Fl alpha (6-keto-PGF1?) and their ratio were measured before and after treatment. [Results] In the treatment group, 9 were cured, 6 markedly effective, 2 effective and 0 ineffective and 4,6,5 and 2 in the control group respectively; the markedly effective rate was 88.2% which was superior to that (58.8%) in the control group (P

OBJECTIVE:
To observe the effect of conventional acupuncture combined with row-like puncture at sternocleidomastoid on peripheral facial palsy at recovery stage.
METHODS:
A total of 60 patients with peripheral facial palsy at recovery stage were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 30 cases in each one. Acupuncture was applied at affected Cuanzhu (BL 2), Yangbai (GB 14), Sibai (ST 2), Quanliao (SI 18), Jiache (ST 6), Dicang (ST 4), Hegu (LI 4), Taichong (LR 3) and Zusanli (ST 36) in the control group. On the basis of the treatment in the control group, row-like puncture was applied at sternocleidomastoid (1 needle was punctured at muscle origin and insertion respectively, 3 to 4 needles were row-like punctured at the connection line of muscle origin and insertion). The treatment was given once a day, 5 times were as one course, with 2-day interval, totally 4 courses were required in the both groups. The house-brackmann (H-B) facial nerve function grade, facial nerve function rating system-dynamic view rating scale score and facial disability index (FDI) scale score [including scores of FDI physical function (FDIp) and FDI social life function (FDIs)] before and after treatment were observed, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated in the two groups.
RESULTS:
After treatment, the H-B facial nerve function grades were improved compared before treatment in the both groups (
CONCLUSION
Compared with conventional acupuncture, combination therapy with row-like puncture at sternocleidomastoid can improve the therapeutic effect of peripheral facial palsy at recovery stage.

Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) is a rare hereditary cornification disorder presented with abnormal skin scaling. In this paper, we used next-generation sequencing to determine the variants in a Chinese ARCI patient. We used sanger sequencing to verify bidirectionally the DNA from the proband and her parents. Results showes that two compound heterozygous variants (c.235G > T and c.641delG) in CYP4F22 gene, and both of the mutations are novel. The parents were heterozygous carriers. The two variants are classified as pathogenic variants based on interpretation guidelines. The compound heterozygous mutations in CYP4F22 gene were the causative mutations responsible for ARCI in proband.

OBJECTIVE:
To observe the differences in the sleep quality and the effects on insomnia severity between 's three-promotion needling method and the oral administration of estazolam.
METHODS:
A total of 70 patients of subacute insomnia were randomized into a three-promotion needling group and a medication group, 35 cases in each one. In the three-promotion needling group, the mild promotion technique with the filiform needle, the warm promotion technique with the fire needle and the strong promotion technique with the three-edged needle were adopted in combination. The acupuncture with the filiform needle was used at Baihui (GV 20), Sishencong (EX-HN1), Shenting (GV 24), Shenmen (HT 7), etc, The treatment was given 3 times a week, once every 2 days. The pricking technique with fire needle was applied to Ganshu (BL 18), Xinshu (BL 15), Feishu (BL 13), Pishu (BL 20), Shenshu (BL 23) and Geshu (BL 17), once every 3 days, twice a week. The bleeding technique with the three-edged needle was used at the ear apex, once every 2 days, 3 times a week. In the medication group, the estazolam tablets were taken orally before sleep, 1mg once every 2 days. The treatment was given consecutively for 4 weeks in the two groups. Separately, before treatment, in 2-week treatment and in 4-week treatment as well as in 1-month follow-up after treatment, the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and the insomnia severity index (ISI) scores were recorded in the patients of the two groups. The clinical effects were evaluated in the two groups.
RESULTS:
In 2 weeks and 4 weeks of treatment, as well as in the follow-up, PSQI scores and ISI scores were all reduced obviously as compared with those before treatment in the two groups (all <0.05). In the three-promotion needling group, the PSQI score at each time point was reduced much more obviously as compared with the medication group (all <0.05). In the follow-up, the ISI score in the three-promotion needling group was lower than the medication group (<0.05). The total effective rates were 97.2% (34/35) and 91.4% (32/35) at the end of treatment and in the follow-up respectively in the three-promotion needling group, higher than 85.7% (30/35) and 71.4% (25/35) in the medication group (both <0.05).
CONCLUSION
's three-promotion needling method much more effectively improves the sleep quality and reduces insomnia severity in the patients of subacute insomnia. This therapy presents the satisfactory short-term and long-term effects.
