Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of acupoint application in treating senile hypertension of yin deficiency and yang excess type.Methods Sixty-six old patients with hypertension of yin deficiency and yang excess type were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 33 cases each. The control group took nifedipine controlled release tablets and the treatment group received acupoint application in addition. The quality of life score was recorded in the two groups before and after treatment. The clinical therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups.Results The total efficacy rate in reducing blood pressure was 90.0% in the treatment group and 84.8% in the control group; there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). The total efficacy rate in improving the symptoms was 90.9% in the treatment group and 69.7% in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference in the quality of life score in the two groups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant post-treatment difference in the quality of life score between the treatment and control groups (P<0.05).Conclusions Acupoint application is an effective way to treat senile hypertension of yin deficiency and yang excess type. It can improve the quality of life in the patients.

Objective To demonstrate the effect of bilateral adrenalectomy (ADX) on the susceptibility to NMDA-induced seizure and hippocampal CRH mRNA in young rats. Methods 60 Wistar rats at P10 were divided into control group, ADX group and Sham-ADX group. In the next day after operation, 7 mg/kg NMDA was injected to induce seizure, and incubation period (in minutes) as well as degree was evaluated. In situ hybridization was used to detect hippocampal CRH mRNA expression. Results Latency was (43.65 ± 2.96) minutes in control group, (35.05 ± 2.35)minutes in ADX group and (42.60 ± 1.90)minutes in Sham-ADX group. Latency in the ADX rats increased significantly (F = 73.73, P < 0.05). The seizure scale was (4.40 ± 0.60) in control group, (5.56 ± 0.76) in ADX group and (4.55 ± 0.76) in Sham-ADX group. The severity of seizures in ADX group increased significantly compared with the control and Sham-ADX groups (F = 15.52, P <0.05). CRH mRNA expression was 20% in control group, 55% in ADX group and 15% in Sham-ADX group. CRH mRNA in the ADX group was significantly elevated (χ2 = 9.048, P < 0.05). Conclusion Adrenalectomy exacerbates NMDA-induced spasm seizures in young rats , which might be related to CRH mRNA expression in the hippocampus.

Autonomic nervous system(ANS) activity plays an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease,including organic cardiovascular disease(such as hypertension,coronary artery disease,etc) and functional cardiovascular disease (such as vasovagal syncope,postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome,etc).Many methods was used to evaluate ANS function.Heart rate variability is a widely accepted method to assess cardiac autonomic nerve function.Autonomic nervous affected cardiac action potential and let electrocardiogram changes.Through the sympathetic and parasympathetic neurotransmitters which acting on the corresponding receptors.Electrocardiogram changes reflects autonomic nervous function.Present researches suggest that electrocardiogram has an important significance in the evaluation of autonomic nerve function in functional cardiovascular disease.

VB programme and flash technique are used to visually display physical mechanism of blood cell velocity measurement in vein taken by Doppler ultrasonic blood equipment.

Respiratory failure and respiratory complication are most reasons that result in death of ALS patients.Respiratory support,especially non-invasive Bi-level positive airway pressure,may improve living quality and prolong survival time.Treatment of respiratory support was gradually accepted and focused in the worldwide.In addition,malnutrition is an independent poor prognostic factor for ALS.Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy can ensure enough energy intake,improve nutritional status and prolong survival time.The profit and indication of BiPAP and PEG were Summarized.

Objective To explore the surgical anesthesia in patients with schizophrenia, clinical effect of two drug combination.Methods40 cases of anesthesia for the patients with schizophrenia surgery using fentanyl combined with propofol, and classified as the control group, the other 40 patients used remifentanil combined with propofol anesthesia and the patients were classified as observation group.In our hospital from October 2016 to March 2015.ResultsComparing the two groups of patients with heart rate and blood pressure, found in the two groups had no significant difference before anesthesia after anesthesia, intervention at different time points showed corresponding differences (P<0.05) shows significant differences.Compared two groups of patients, the recovery time of the surgery, the patients in the observation group were relatively fast, comparison between groups (P<0.05) showed obvious differences.The adverse reactions in two groups were 0%, comparison between groups have no significant difference.ConclusionTwo drug combination has better effect in schizophrenia patients in surgical anesthesia, compared with fentanyl and remifentanil for anesthesia, the latter effect is better, at the same time combined treatment for patients with heart rate had little effect, conducive to the patient recovery after surgery, and no adverse reaction for patients, the drug safety, it is worthy of reference.

Objective To discuss the inflexion question in the course of measuring surface tension coefficient.Methods Metal frames with different lengths,radials and metal cylinders with different inside & outside radials were used to measure the inflexion.Results The inflexion appeared in the course of measuring surface tension coefficient by using force sensor and the inflexion changed with the different radials and lengths of the metal frames.Conclusion The thickness and bending of the fluid membrane results in the change of inflexion,and the inflexion can be avoided with the length and radial chosen properly.

There are 5 literatures related to the clinical applications of cancer vaccination in hematologieal malignancies in the 18th annual meeting of the European Hematology Association (EHA).This article provides an overview of these literatures that helps to understand how cancer vaccination can be explored for future clinical interventions.

Objective　To investigate the changes and its clinical significance of plasma neuropeptide Y(NPY) concentration in patients with pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH). Methods　Plasma NPY levels were detected by radioimmunoassay in 30 patients with PIH, 20 normal non-pregnant women and 23 normal pregnant women. The PIH group was subdivided into mild, moderate and Severe subgroups, and the NPY concentration was also measured in these subgroups respectively at admission and one week after delivery. Results　The plasma NPY levels in patients with PIH ［(164.16±68.32) ng/L］ were significantly higher than those of normal non-pregnant women and normal pregnancies ［(86.60±20.65) ng/L, (82.42±12.46) ng/L, P<0.01, respectively］. There was significant difference among plasma NPY levels among the patients with mild, moderate, and severe PIH at admission (P<0,01). At one week after delivery the concentrations of plasma NPY were significantly decreased in the moderate and severe subgroups compared with the value measured at admission (P<0.01). Moreover, the NPY levels in patients with severe PIH after delivery were still higher than those of normal non-pregnant women. Conclusions　The results suggested that the level of NPY in plasma is increased in women with PIH. Elevated plasma NPY levels may play a key role in the development of PIH.
