When Po. Wang Xingkuan treating long cough, he is good at treating from the liver, clearly identifying mechanism, getting good effect in treating long cough of the type of Attack of the Lung by Liver Fire with revised Sit-blood Decoction.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of Xintongling Tablet on unstable angina.Methods Totally 64 unstable angina patients with pattern of qi deficiency and phlegm-stasis obstructing the network vessels were randomly divided into basic treatment control group and Xintongling treatment group.Results The improvement rates of Chinese medical pattern,angina and electrocardiogram in treatment group were 90.63%,87.50% and 75.00% respectively,higher than those in control group(P

AIM: To explore the action of Zisheng Qingyang Tablet for improving left ventricle hypertrophy of essential hyertension's traditional Chinese medicine syndromes and for lowering blood pressure(BP). METHODS: There were 60 patients, whose syndrome differentiation typing(SDT) was the yin-deficiency and yang-hyperactivity, the deficiency of heart-qi with dizziness caused by wind accompanied cardiac hypertrophy(essential hypertension left ventricle hypertrophy). The 60 patients were randomly divided into treating group and comtrol group each group with 30 patients. 4 months was one course of treatment. Pre-and post-therapy, the total scores of each group, the individual syndrome's scores of each group and the levels of BP were marked. RESULTS: After treating, the TCM syndromes of two groups were relieved. The total scores and improvements of TCM syndromes were markedly higher than that of the control group, and the significance especially displays on relieving main symptoms, such as dizziness, headache, chest distention and palpitation(P0.05). CONCLUSION: Zisheng Qingyang Table can obviously improve TCM syndromes, The effects especially exist in relieving the main symptoms as follows: dizziness, headache, chest distention, palpitation. The action of Zisheng Qingyang Tablet and captopril for lowering BP is alike.

0.05). group 1 and group 4 could significantly reduce the level of lipid、FINS, increase the level of IAI (P0.05). After treatment, the clinical symptom score dropped in group 1、2、3 (P0.05); serum levels of resistin decreased and adiponectin increased in group 1、4 (P0.05). More significant difference was observed in group 1、4 between the four groups about the serum level of resistin、adiponectin、Leptin、TNF-?、CRP、IL-6 (P

Objective:To develop and evaluate the improved Chinese hearing questionnaire for school children(CHQS)for mass epidemiology study on hearing impairment in China.Method:Using the probability proportion to size(PPS) method, 8 412 residents were investigated in 40 clusters in Jiangsu province with the WHO ear diseases and hearing disorders survey protocol.87.9% of the residents aged 7 years and over answered the questionnaire and accepted the pure tone audiometry.Result:The prevalence of hearing impairment was 12.9% by the questionnaire. Compared with golden standard(pure tone audiometry), Sen=58.5%, Spe=96.7%, PV+=78.9%, PV-=91.7%, overall accuracy=90.0% . The sensitivity for women was higher than men.Conclusion:The questionnaire produced high efficiency and specificity values.It could be used in mass hearing screening, particularly in remote and rural area, although the sensitivity was as low as most questionnaires.

0. 05). Conclusions Tinnitus is a common problem in the older population. With the aging of population, the problem will become more and more severe. More research is urgently needed on prevention and treatment of tinnitus in elderly people.

OBJECTIVE: To develop and evaluate the improved Chinese hearing questionnaire for school children (CHQS) for mass epidemiology study on hearing impairment in China. METHOD: Using the probability proportion to size (PPS) method, 8412 residents were investigated in 40 clusters in Jiangsu province with the WHO ear diseases and hearing disorders survey protocol. 87.9% of the residents aged 7 years and over answered the questionnaire and accepted the pure tone audiometry. RESULT: The prevalence of hearing impairment was 12.9% by the questionnaire. Compared with "golden standard" (pure tone audiometry), Sen = 58.5%, Spe = 96.7%, PV+ = 78.9%, PV- = 91.7%, overall accuracy = 90.0%. The sensitivity for women was higher than men. CONCLUSION The questionnaire produced high efficiency and specificity values. It could be used in mass hearing screening, particularly in remote and rural area, although the sensitivity was as low as most questionnaires.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate incidents and clinical features of auditory neuropathy in Nanjing deaf school students. METHOD: Three hundred and fifty-eight deaf students in the school accepted the first examination including otoscopic examination, tympanometry and transiently evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) screening. Detailed audiological and vestibular evaluations including pure-tone audiometry, immittance audiometry and acoustic reflex measures, transiently evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE), distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE), auditory brain stem response (ABR), electronystagmography (ENG) and vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) were given to whom had positive TEOAE screening. RESULT: Three hundred and twenty-three students entered the program of screening for auditory neuropathy. One student had positive TEOAE in single ear while the other two had positive TEOAE in both ears. In the screening stage,there were strong evidences in these three students with auditory neuropathy in the detailed audiological procedures. CONCLUSION Auditory neuropathy, which can also be found in deaf schools, is not as rare as we thought before. Early identification and intervention may help those children to avoid entering the deaf school and to return to normal society.
