Objective To observe clinical effect of treating infantile cerebral palsy with acupuncture and massage. Methods 29 cases with cerebral palsy were randomly recurited into a control group and a treatment group. The treatment group was treated with acupuncture and massage, and the control group was treated with western medicine. The clinical effect of both groups was observed after the treatment. Results The total effective rate of the treatment group and the control group was 85.7% and 66.7% respectively, showing a significant difference (P<0.05) . Conclusion The treatment of infantile cerebral palsy with acupuncture and massage was better than treated with western medicine.

database until 2015-01, and all randomized controlled trials (RCT) upon (RVS) pacing and (RVA) pacing in Chinese population were enrolled. According to Cochrane Handbook 5.0.2 quality evaluation criteria, the publications were selected by 2 independent researchers and Meta-analysis was conducted with RevMan5.0 software.
Results: A total of 16 RCT articles including 1199 patients were enrolled in this study. The research was divided into 2 groups: RVS group,n=602 and RVA group,n=597. Meta-analysis indicated that the following indexes in RVS group were better than those in RVA group: the differences between post-and pre-operation for the combination value in LVEF (MD=1.90, 95% CI 0.75-3.05,P=0.001), stroke volume (MD=7.08, 95% CI 2.39-11.76,P=0.003), QRS wave width (MD=29.13, 95% CI 5.71-52.54,P=0.01), LVESV (MD=2.04, 95% CI -4.22 to 8.31,P<0.00001), LVEDV (MD=2.64, 95% CI 1.80-3.49, P<0.00001), BNP (MD=68.00, 95% CI 57.57-78.43,P<0.00001), inter ventricular septum and left ventricular posterior wall motion delay time (SPWMD) (MD=22.68, 95% CI 16.91-28.45,P<0.00001), E/A (MD=0.49, 95% CI 0.41-0.57, P<0.00001), LRVPEI (MD=14.06, 95% CI 12.36-15.75,P<0.00001), resistance of electrode (MD=-67.02, 95% CI -119.96 to -14.08,P=0.01) and pacing threshold (MD=0.09, 95% CI 0.00-0.18,P=0.04). The time of operation in RVS group was longer than that in RVA group, (MD=-11.76, 95% CI -14.69 to -8.82,P<0.00001). The differences between post- and pre-operation in LVEDD, Tei index and X-ray exposure time were similar between 2 groups,P>0.05.
Conclusion: RVS is a relatively feasible pacing method in Chinese population.

Objective: To explore the risk factors for ventricular aneurysm formation in patients after acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods: Our research included 2 groups of AMI patients who received percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
in our hospital from 2012-04 to 2014-07 as Ventricular aneurysm group,n=146 and Control group,n=142, in which the AMI patients without ventricular aneurysm formation. The baseline condition with aneurysm related risk factors were analyzed and compared between 2 groups including age, gender, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, diabetes, smoking, family history, MI history, anterior myocardial wall infarction, angina pectoris, left main (LM) disease, the lesion at proximal left anterior descending (LAD) artery, NYHA classiifcation III/IV, chest pain time ≥ 24 hours and ST-segment elevation ≥ 4 adjacent leads in ECG.
Results: Compared with Control group, the patients in Ventricular aneurysm group had the elder age (OR=1.023, 95% CI 1.000-1.046), higher incidence rates of smoking (OR=1.819, 95% CI 1.130-2.928) and anterior MI (OR=9.162, 95% CI 4.657-18.028), more patients with ≥ 4 adjacent ST-segment elevation (OR=6.571, 95% CI 2.426-17.798), while less patients with angina pectoris (OR=0.557, 95% CI 0.335-0.927, allP<0.05. With adjusted relating factors of age, gender, hypertension, diabetes and angina pectoris, the multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that smoking (regression coefifcient: 0.833, OR=2.301, 95% CI 1.283-4.125), anterior MI (regression coefifcient: 1.799, OR=6.041, 95% CI 2.831-12.894) were positively related to ventricular aneurysm formation.
Conclusion: Smoking and anterior MI were strongly related to ventricular aneurysm formation in patients after AMI.

Based on the neurovascular unit(NVU), neurovascular coupling functions as a barrier to maintain the homeostasis of the microenvironment by regulating the signaling and metabolic activity of nerve cells and capillaries. Widely dispersed across the retina, the NVU is essential to preserving its normal physiological function. A disturbance in retinal neurovascular homeostasis produced by a range of factors can result in a variety of retinal disorders, such as diabetic retinopathy(DR), glaucoma, retinitis pigmentosa(RP)and age-related macular degeneration(ARMD). The retina also has a widespread distribution of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF), which functions to promote neuron growth and repair damage by binding to its receptor TrkB. In recent years, BDNF was found to play a protective role against damage in the early stage of retinal neurovascular homeostasis imbalance, often known as the neurodegenerative stage. It also helps to reduce the production of pro-angiogenic substances of neurological origin and offers a fresh approach for the early detection and treatment of associated eye disorders.
