Objective To explore the relation between puncturing at superficial venules and effectiveness of acupoint application in summer to treat winter disease. Methods 4872 chronic bronchitis patients who received therapy of acupoint application in summer for treating winter diseases were divided into a superficial-venule group (including 994 patients) and a non-superficial-venuls group (including 3878 patients), according to the conditions that if or not they had superficial venuls. Both groups received the treatment of acupoint application combined with plum-blossom needles quick puncture. On this basis, the superficial-venule group was additional treated by puncturing at superficial venules. Results The cure rate and total effective rate were 73.2% and 98.1% in the superficial-venule group, and 35.9% and 90.8% in the non-superficial-venuls group. There was a significant difference between the two groups in their therapeutic effect (P＜0.01).Conclusion The treatment of acupoint application combined with puncturing at superficial venules are effective in treating chronic bronchitis.

Objective To study the complications and their management of plasmakinetic transurethral resection of the prostate (PKRP). Methods Complications and their management of 51 cases of PKRP from May 2003 to June 2006 were retrospectively reviewed. Results Complications of the procedure were as follows. Bladder spasms occurred in 27 cases (accompanying hemorrhage in 2 cases and urge incontinence in 6 cases), and the symptoms disappeared after patient-controlled intravenous analgesia and M-receptor blocker (tolterodine). Postoperative bleeding occurred in 6 cases. Continuous irrigation with normal saline and medical therapy were given in 3 cases, and open surgery was required in 3 cases with severe bleeding. All bleeding patients obtained a full recovery of voiding function without re-bleeding. Urge incontinence occurred in 13 cases, and was cured with functional exercises of pelvic floor muscles and M-receptor blocker (tolterodine) administration. Stress incontinence was observed in 1 case, and a penile clamp had been used to control incontinence. Among 7 cases of urinary retention after operation, a re-operation of PKRP was conducted in 2 cases and oral medication was carried out in 5. The voiding function recovered well in all the 7 cases. In 5 cases of urethral stricture, urethral dilatation was employed in 3 cases and urethrotomy was performed in 2 cases to obtain a good recovery of voiding function. Conclusions Bladder spasm, postoperative bleeding, incontinence, urinary retention, and urethral stricture are common complications of PKRP. Strict adherence to technique and timely and proper management of complications are considered essential to improve results.

Objective (1) To investigate the glucose and lipid metabolism 6-12 weeks after delivery in women with hyperglycemia during pregnancy. (2) To find out factors associated with the prognosis of women with hyperglycemia during pregnancy. (3) To investigate the feasibility of the diagnostic criteria set by the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Group according to the follow-up data of women with hyperglycemia in pregnancy. Methods Clinical data of 262 women with hyperglycemia during pregnancy delivered in our hospital from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2009 were collected. All patients underwent oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at 6-12weeks after delivery. They were divided into two groups according to the postnatal status of glucose and lipid metabolism. Multivariate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors affected glucose and lipid metabolism after 6-12 weeks of delivery. Results (1) Among the 262 women, 92(35.1%) were reported with abnormal glucose metabolism at 6-12 weeks of delivery, including one (0. 4 % ) woman with impaired fasting glucose, 81 (30. 9 % ) with impaired glucose tolerance, 4( 1.5 % )with impaired fasting glucose+impaired glucose tolerance and 6 (2. 3%) with diabetes mellitus.glucose levels in OGTT (OGTT 2hPG and the OGTT 3hPG) were risk factors for postpartum 0. 181-0. 918)]. (3) All markers of lipid metabolism were detected in 250 women with hyperglycemia during pregnancy at 6-12 weeks after delivery, the rate of abnormal postnatal lipid metabolism was 63.2%(158/250). In the abnormal group (n= 174), the most common abnormal marker was hypercholesterolemia (n = 126, 50. 4 % ), followed by high levels of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (n = 102, 40. 8 %), hypertriglyceridemia (n= 60, 24. 0 %) and low levels of high-density lipoproteincholesterol (n= 11, 4. 4 %). (4) Logistic regression model showed that elevated OGTT 2hPG was the risk factor for postpartum abnormal glucose metabolism [OR= 1. 364 (95%CI: 1. 063-1. 751)], while 0. 169-0. 851)]. Conclusions Women with hyperglycemia during pregnancy are more likely to present with abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism which commonly coexisted with insulin resistance.The risk factors for the postpartum abnormal glucose metabolism in mothers with hyperglycemia during pregnancy include early diagnosis, OGTT 2hPG and OGTT 3hPG, while the protective factor is breastfeeding. The risk factor for the postpartum dyslipidaemia in mothers with hyperglycemia during pregnancy is OGTT 2hPG, while the protective factor is high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol level in pregnancy.

Objective To investigate the serum levels of procalcitomn (PCT) and high mobility group box chromosomal protein-1 ( HMGB1 ) in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) ; and study the relationship between the serum levels of PCT,HMGB1 and the severity and prognosis of AP.Methods The blood samples were collected from 80 AP patients,including 38 severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) patients and 42 mild acute pancreatitis (MAP) patients.The serum levels of HMGB1 were measured by ELISA kit,and the levels of PCT were measured by immunoassay chemiluminescent technique,then their relationship with other biochemical parameters,the severity and prognosis of AP was analyzed.30 healthy adults were treated as the control group.Results The serum PCT and HMGB1 levels were ( 8.18 ± 3.24) μg/L and ( 11.79 ± 3.98 ) μg/L in SAP group,and the corresponding values were (5.67 ± 2.43) μg/L and ( 5.38 ± 2.06) μg/L in MAP group,and both were significantly higher than those in control group [ ( 1.85 ± 0.86) μg/L and ( 1.87 ± 1.47) μg/L,P ＜0.01 ].The serum level of PCT was positively correlated with serum 1evel of HMGB1 ( r =0.276,P =0.014),and both were positively correlated with Ranson score,APACHE Ⅱ score,Balthazar CT score (P＜0.05 or ＜0.01 ).The HMGB1 levels were significantly higher in patients with organ dysfunction than those in patients without organ dysfunction (P ＜0.05).Conclusions In AP patients,serum PCT and HMGB1 levels were significantly increased,and they were positively correlated with disease severity.These results suggest that PCT and HMGB1 may act as potential serum markers for AP severity evaluation.
