Headache is a common clinical symptom.Some headache disorders belong to secondary category.Many intracranial disorders,such as head trauma,cerebral vascular diseases,intracranial tumors and inflammation,can lead to headache due to mass effect,inflammation reaction,stimulation of vasoactive substances and decreased intracranial pressure.Furthermore,many drugs and other substances,disorders of eyes,nose,ear,mouth,neck and other systemic disorders can also cause headache.Many headache disorders can be determined by detailed case history and physical examination.Blood test,lumber puncture,CT,MRI and other imaging examinations are necessary methods for finding the causes and the treatment of diseases.

Construction of knowledge service system for university students'innovation and undertaking training program was proposed by analyzing their difficulties in information access during innovation and undertaking train-ing.The key points in constructing knowledge service system were pointed out, namely establishing professional service teams, providing stereoscopic and diversified service, establishing feedback and evaluation systems, and building powerful platform for information exchange.

OBJECTIVETo verify the clinical efficacy on post-stroke dysphagia treated with acupuncture at Lianquan (CV 23).

METHODSOne hundred and eighty patients were randomized into an acupuncture A group, an acupuncture B group and a rehabilitation group, 60 cases in each one. On the basis of the conventional medication, in the acupuncture A group, acupuncture was applied at Lianquan (CV 23); in the acupuncture B group, acupuncture was applied at Hegu (LI 4) and Neiguan (PC 6) and in the rehabilitation group, the swallowing rehabilitation training was adopted. The treatment was given once a day, 5 times a week, and the 4 weeks of treatment was required in all of the groups. The national institute of health stroke scale (NIHSS) and TV X-ray fluoroscope swallowing scale (VFSS) were used to evaluate neurologic deficit and swallowing function before and after treatment in the patients of each group. The morbidity of pneumonia and clinical efficacy were compared among the groups.

RESULTSThe scores of NIHSS and VFSS were improved apparently after treatment in the patients of the three groups (all P < 0.05) and the results in the acupuncture A group were superior to those in the other two groups (all P < 0.05). The morbidity of pneumonia in the acupuncture A group was lower than that in the acupuncture B group and the rehabilitation group [3.3% (2/60) vs 6.7% (4/60), 8.3% (5/60), both P < 0.05]. The effective rate in the acupuncture A group was better than that in either of the other two groups [95.0% (57/60) vs 81.7% (49/ 60), 75.0% (45/60), both P < 0.05].

CONCLUSIONOn the basis of the conventional medication, acupuncture at Lianquan (CV 23) effectively improves the swallowing function, relieves neurological deficit and reduces the morbidity of pneumonia in the patients of post-stroke dysphagia.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on the stature of children with Turner syndrome(TS) and analyze its influencing factors in treatment.Methods Twelve children with TS were selected in the outpatient department of West China second hospital of sichuan university between Jan.2004 to Jun.2007.They were diagnosed as TS with karyotypically.The average age was 4.9-16.9(11.28?3.64)years old.Every patient must be made sure to have normal liver function,kidney funtion and MRI for hypothalamus and pituitary before enrollment.All cases were never treated with growth hormone or estrin.Not all the patients had the same manifestations:12 cases with short stature,9 cases with cubitus valgue,8 cases with broad chest,4 cases with low posterior hairline,2 cases with webbed neck,11 cases without pubes and armpit hair,none with menarche.Every patient must be made sure to have normal liver function,kidney funtion and MRI for hypothalamus and pituitary before enrollment.rhGH was used subcutaneously 3-5 cm around navel eve-ry night before sleep.Average rhGH dose was 0.16 IU/(kg?d)[0.15-0.18 IU/(kg?d)],and height standard deviation score (HtSDS) was calculated and compared before and after rhGH treatment,and adverse reactions were observed.Results The duration of treatment was different:9 cases for 12 cases months,2 cases for 15 cases months and 1 case for 18 cases months.The average height increase rat was (0.55?0.15) cm / month.Difference of HtSDS existed before and after treatment by t test(t=2.87 P

OBJECTIVE:To study the therapeutic effect of yixinkangtai capsul e with nilestriol on perimenopausal syn?drome.METHODS:68female patients suffering from perimenopausal syndrome were randomly divided into united therapy group(yixinkangtai capsule+nilestriol)and the control group(nilestriol),the effective rates and the amelioration of clinical symptoms of the2groups were observed and compared.RESULTS:The total effective rate of the united therapy group was88.24%,which is significantly higher than the control group(61.76%)(P

Objective To explore the effect of gastrodia elata on learning and memory abilities and synaptic transmission protein(P38,Ca2+ -CaMK Ⅱ α,CREB)expression of hippocampus in model rats with Alzheimer's disease(AD).Methods 24 adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group,test group and intervention group.A dose of Aβ1-40 was injected into the hippocampus of rats on test group and intervention group,the control rats were injected with normal saline.When the models were successful,the rats of control group and test groups were given with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose(50g/kg),the rats of intervention group were given with gastrodia elata powder( 50 g/kg),lasting 15 days,Morris water maze test was used for learning and memory abilities study.The expression of P38,Ca2+-CaMK Ⅱ α and CREB protein were detected by immunohistochemistry method.Results Behavioral tests showed the mean escape latencies and search time of test group were obviously increased than those of control group and intervention group,the percentage of search distance on test groups was less than that of control group and intervention group(P ＜ 0.01 ).Immunohistochemistry results showed P38,Ca2+- CaMK Ⅱ α and CREB positive cells and optical density in hippocampus CA1 on test group were less than those of control group and intervention group ( all P ＜ 0.01 ) ( P38:58.92 ± 10.82,0.208 ± 0.037 ; Ca2+-CaMK Ⅱ α:72.38 ± 14.67,0.174 ± 0.036 ; CREB:53.86 ±5.31,0.161 ±0.043 in test group;P38:87.32 ±9.56,0.371 ±0.046 ; Ca2+ -CaMK Ⅱ α:98.16 ± 16.29,0.283 ± 0.051 ; CREB:86.76 ± 7.73,0.356 ± 0.052 in intervention group; P38:102.54 ± 16.73,0.563 ± 0.078 ; Ca2 + -CaMK Ⅱ α:123.46 ± 17.65,0.436 ± 0.057 ; CREB:125.43 ±9.16,0.524 ± 0.057 in control group ).Conclusion Gastrodia elata can treat AD by increasing expression of P38,Ca2 + -CaMK Ⅱ α and CREB.

Aim To research into the effect of diltiazem on cytokines expression in mononuclearcells induced by concanavalin A.Methods Ficoll density gradient centrifugation was used to separate the mononuclearcells from rat's spleen.There were 3 groups including control, Con A, diltiazem-Con A group in the study.The cytokines expressions in supernatant were detected by ELISA.Results Compared with control, IL-10, TNF-α, IL-6 were increased significantly in Con A group with low level IL-1β and non level TGF-β_1.But in diltiazem-Con A group, IL-10, TNF-α, IL-6 were decreased significantly compared with Con A group.Conclusion Diltiazem inhibits IL-10, TNF-α, IL-6 expressions in mononuclearcells induced by Con A.
