Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effect of Back-Shu acupoint in treating asthma. Methods: Sixty-one patients were randomly divided into a Back-Shu acupoint group, a acupuncture-moxibustion group and a acupuncture group. All the three groups were treated twice a week, 10 times made up a treatment course. The therapeutic effect was evaluated after three courses of treatment. Results and conclusion: The control and marked effective rate were significantly higher in the Back-Shu acupoint group and acupuncture-moxibustion groups than in the acupuncture group (P<0.05). They were slightly higher in the acupuncture-moxibustion group than in the Back-Shu acupoint group, but there was no statistically significant difference. The results indicated that the Back-Shu acupoints have a good therapeutic effect in treating asthma.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of Tuina plus acupuncture on treatment of cervical migraine and make a comparison. Method: Eighty outpatients with cervical migraine were divided into three groups and treated by Tuina, acupuncture and Tuina plus acupuncture, respectively. Results: All three groups of patients obtained a good effect. The cure rate was significantly higher in the Tuina plus acupuncture group than in the other two groups. Conclusion: The treatment of cervical migraine by Tuina plus acupuncture is worthy to be clinically popularized.

Objective: To observe the efficacy of tuina manipulations for fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). ＜br> Methods:Sixty eligible FMS patients were randomized into two groups, 30 in each group. Patients in the observation group were intervened by tuina manipulations to the corresponding segment of the spine based on the detection of disorders of the spine-related bones and tendons;patients in the control group were directed to practice functional exercises. Before and after intervention, the fibromyalgia impact questionnaire (FIQ) and visual analogue scale (VAS) were adopted for evaluation. ＜br> Results:After intervention, the FIQ and VAS scores dropped significantly in both groups (all P＜0.05), and there were significant differences between the two groups (both P＜0.05). The total effective rate was 86.7%in the observation group versus 63.3% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05). ＜br> Conclusion:Spinal tuina manipulations are effective and safe in treating FMS, for significantly promoting the quality of life of the FMS patients.

Objective: To investigate the serum anti-mumps IgG antibody levels among children aged 0 to 4 years in Haishu District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide insights into improvements for mumps vaccination program. Methods: Children aged 0 to 4 years were sampled from Haishu District using a stratified random sampling method in 2016 (before adjustment of the mumps vaccination program) and 2022 (after adjustment of the mumps vaccination program). Participants' demographics were collected using questionnaires, and the coverage of mumps-containing vaccines was collected from the Ningbo Municipal Immunization Information System. Serum anti-mumps IgG antibody was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the seroprevalence of anti-mumps IgG antibody and geometric mean concentration (GMC) were estimated among children aged 0 to 4 years in 2016 and 2022. Results: A total of 464 children were enrolled in 2016, including 250 boys (53.88%) and 214 girls (46.12%), and there were 301 children receiving mumps-containing vaccines (64.87%). The seroprevalence of anti-mumps IgG antibody were 48.08%, 34.44%, 81.11%, 84.44% and 84.44%, and GMC were 233.86, 351.77, 333.66, 362.29 and 410.72 U/mL. A total of 456 children were recruited in 2022, including 236 boys (51.75%) and 220 girls (48.25%), and there were 427 children receiving mumps-containing vaccines (93.64%). The seroprevalence of anti-mumps IgG antibody were 72.73%, 95.00%, 100.00%, 98.68% and 99.04%, and GMC were 524.05, 1 229.69, 1 623.64, 788.01 and 738.41 U/mL. Higher seroprevalence and GMC of anti-mumps IgG antibody was seen in 2022 than in 2016 among children at all age groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Following adjustment for vaccination programs, the seroprevalence and GMC of anti-mumps IgG antibody significantly increased among children at ages of 0 to 4 years in Haishu District.

Objective To observe the effects of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on spasticity of biceps brachii after stroke. Methods 12 patients with spasticity of biceps brachii after stroke were divided into control group (n=6) and ESWT group (n=6). The ESWT group received a session of ESWT and the control group received placebo treatment. All patients were assessed before and immediately after treatment, including integrated electromyogram (iEMG) and co-contraction ratio during maximum isometric voluntary contraction (MIVC) of elbow extension with surface electromyography, the modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) and content of shoulder and elbow of Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA). Results The scores of MAS and FMA, the iEMG and the cocontraction ratio of biceps brachii improved in the ESWT group after the treatment (P<0.05), and improved more than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion ESWT can immediately relieve the spasticity of biceps brachii, inhibit the cocontraction of biceps brachii during elbow extension and improve the motor function of upper limb in patients post stroke.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value and optimal cut-off point of symptom index (SI) in gastroesophageal reflux-induced chronic cough (GERC).Methods The recordings of multichannel intraluminal esophageal impedance and pH monitoring were retrospectively analyzed in 118 patients with suspicious GERC.SI for all the refluxes,acid reflux and non-acid reflux was calculated respectively by analyzing the temporal association between detected reflux and cough recorded on diary card.Based on the favorable response to the anti-reflux therapy,the diagnostic value for GERC of SI was evaluated and compared with that of the symptom association probability (SAP).Results GERC was definitely determined in 100 patients (84.7％).When SI for all the refluxes was used for the diagnosis of GERC,the cut-off point of ≥45％ had the highest diagnostic efficacy,with the sensitivity of 56.0％,the specificity of 83.3％and Youden index of 0.393.SI for acid or non-acid reflux had the same optimal cut-off point of ≥30％ and presented with the similar efficacy in the diagnosis of acid or non-acid GERC.Compared with SAP of ≥75％,SIforall the refluxes of ≥45％ had a lower sensitivity (56.0％ vs 75.0％,x2 =7.988,P=0.005),a higher specificity (83.3％ vs 44.4％,x2 =5.900,P =0.015) and the comparable positive or negative predictive value in the diagnosis of GERC.The diagnostic accuracy for GERC was further improved when combining SI for all the refluxes with SAP.Conclusion SI for all the refluxes has a diagnostic value similar to SAP and its optimal cut-off point for GERC may be ≥45％.
