Prof. SHI Xue-min is the first one who proposes the theory of quantitative needling manipulation. This theory requires corresponding quantitative marker of each point. In order to meet this quantitative requirement, he set up strict and rigorous needling methods for each point. Part of his experience in this regard is introduced in this article.

Evidence based medicine(EBM)makes practitioner of the main current medical science change their attitude to alternative medical science, and provides the technology of studies for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) clinical trials. The method of EBM will provide enormous development space and chance for TCM, and promote the proceeding of the modernization and globalization of TCM. At the same time, the research of TCM should not follow the EBM technology completely, it should keep TCM itself characteristic.To know the EBM defect,it can be better utilized.

Objective To explore the repair effect of methylcobalamin treatment of nerve after spinal cord injury.Methods 108 cases of patients with acute spinal cord injury were selected treated in our hospital from 2010 April to 2014 April , including 60 cases of male, female 48 cases, were randomly divided into Mecobalamin group(n=56) and control group(n=52), mecobalamin group was treat with a cobalt amine, control group was given conventional treatment (dexamethasone intravenous drip note).According to American spinal cord injury score (ASIA) to set sensory function, motor function and spinal cord function score criteria, observed and record ed the sensory function, motor function, recovery of neurological function and complications the two groups of patients were treated for 6 weeks and followed up for 6 months.Results Spinal cord injury patients after 6 weeks and 6 months follow-up, the improvement of sensory and motor function of mecobalamin group were significantly better than the control group ( P <0.01 );Mecobalamin group patients after first to 3 weeks of recovery of neurological function was higher than those of the control group (P<0.05);the 2 groups were found urinary tract infections, lung infections, vomiting, reaction of ulcer complications, but the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05).Conclusion In patients with acute spinal cord injury treated by mecobalamin treatment can improve the nerve function damage condition, improve the prognosis and quality of life.

Lappaconitine (LA) 0. 5 mg? kg-1had significant antagonistic action on the ar-rythmia induced by 3-acetylaconitine ( AA ) 0.07 mg?kg-1in rat. When LA and AA were used in combination (7:1) in mice, the analgesic activity of AA was not influenced marked-ly by LA but the LD50 of AA was increased by 50% ,therefore the therapeutic index of AA was increased and the margin of safety was widened.

The respiratory control ratio (RCR), the rate of O2 consumption in state 3 and the rate of ATP formation of liver mitochondria succinate respiratory chain were increased 30 min after Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with epinephnne or norepinephrine. The rate of O2 consumption in state 4 was increased or slightly increased. When rats were injected with adrenergic blocking agents, timolol and phenoxybenzamine, 1 h before burn, the activities of succinate respiratory chain were partly inhibited 30 min post-burn. All the results suggest that catecholamines play a main role in the increase of oxidative phosphorylation coupling in the early phase of burn injury.

Objective To compare the efficacy of intravitreal injection of ranibizumab and bevacizumab in the treatment of pathological myopia choroidal neovascularization (PM-CNV).Methods It is a retrospective case study.Seventy-nine patients (79 eyes) with PM-CNV were enrolled in this study.There were 26 males (26 eyes) and 53 females (53 eyes),with the mean age of (30.77 ± 5.53) years.The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA),intraocular pressure,slit lamp microscope,fundus color photography,fundus fluorescein angiography,and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed.BCVA was recorded as logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR).The central retinal thickness (CMT) was measured by OCT (Cirrus HDOCT).The eyes were divided into bevacizumab treatment group (38 eyes) and ranibizumab treatment group (41 eyes).There was no difference of the mean logMAR BCVA,intraocular pressure and CMT between two groups (t=-0.467,-1.983,1.293;P=0.642,0.051,0.200).The eyes in bevacizumab treatment group were treated with bevacizumab 0.05 ml (1.25 mg),and the eyes in ranibizumab treatment group were treated with ranibizumab 0.05 ml (0.5 rag).Times of injection between two groups were compared.The changes of intraocular pressure were observed at 1,7 days and 1 month after treatment.The changes of logMAR BCVA and CMT at 1,3,6,12 and 24 months after treatment and systemic adverse reactions occur were compared.Results At the 1,3,6,12 and 24 months after treatment,the mean logMAR BCVA of the bevacizumab treatment group and the ranibizumab treatment group was significantly improved than that before treatment (F=132.374,P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in the mean logMAR BCVA at different time points between the two groups (F=0.095,P=0.759).The mean CMT of the two groups was lower than that before treatment (F=151.653,P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in the mean CMT between the two groups (F=0.332,P=0.566).No retinal detachment,endophthalmitis,cataract and persistent high intraocular pressure were associated with drug,injection-related eye and systemic adverse events during follow-up.Seven eyes had conjunctiva bleeding after treatment,11 patients (11 eyes) complained of shadow floaters after treatment.Conclusion Intravitreal injection ofbevacizumab or ranibizumab can equally effectively improve the visual acuity and reduce the CMT of PM-CNV patients.

Objective To evaluate the regulatory role of acetylcholine receptor in muramyl dipeptide (MDP)-induced activation of Nod-like receptor 2/receptor-interacting protein 2 (2NLR2/RIP2) pathway in macrophages of mice.Methods RAW264.7 cells at the logarithmic growth phase were seeded in 12-well plates (density 1 × 106 cells/ml,2 ml/well),a total of 108 wells.The cells were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =36 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),MDP group (group M),and GTS-21 (a7nAChR specific agonist) group (group G).The cells were routinely cultured in group C.MDP with the final concentration of 10 μg/ml was added to the culture medium in group M.MDP with the final concentration of 10μg/ml and GTS21 with the final concentration of 50 μg/ml were added to the culture medium in group G.The cells were incubated for 24 h.At 1,6 and 24 h of incubation with MDP,12 wells were chosen and the cell suspension was obtained for measurement of NLR2 mRNA expression (by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR),RIP2 expression (by Western blot),and concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) in the culture media (by ELISA).Results Compared with group C,the levels of NLR2 mRNA,RIP2,TNFα and HMGB1 were significantly increased at each time point in group M (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group M,the levels of NLR2 mRNA,RIP2,TNF-α and HMGB1 were significantly decreased at each time point in group G (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Acetylcholine receptor can suppress MDP-induced transduction of NLR2/RIP2 pathway in macrophages of mice.

BACKGROUND: The operation on cervical spondylosis is usually done through anterolateral cervical vertebrae to mainly expose cervical vertebrae,intervertebral disc, hook joint and so on. The recent reports are mostly local studies. The observation data of the distance between cervical vertebrae and the corresponding nervus vascularis is limited.OBJECTIVE: The relation of the blood vessels and nerves to cervical vertebrae was observed in neck so as to prevent iatrogenic blood vessels and nerve injuries in the operation on cervical spondyloisis.DESIGN: A single sample trial based on the anatomic samples SETTING: The department of anatomy of a medical college PARTICIPANTS: The experiment was conducted in the Department of Anatomy of Changzhi Medical College from July 2003 to May 2004. Twenty adult antiseptic samples with 40 sides including 36 from males and 4 from the females supported by the Department of Human Anatomy, Changzhi Medical College.METHODS: The accompanying relation of the blood vessels to the nerves,the length of the blood vessels, and the distances from their starting point and end to the neighboring cervical vertebrae were observed and measured in 40 adult antiseptic samples of the neck.the distances from their starting point and end point to the neighboring cervical vertebrae.RESULTS: Totally, 40 sides of 20 samples entered the stage of the result analysis. The facial artery followed the lingual nerve, and the length from its starting point to the neighboring cervical vertebrae C3 was ( 18.5 ± 7.2) mm. The lingual artery followed the hypogolossal nerve, and the distance from its starting point of the lingual artery to C2 -3 was( 19.7 ± 8.4)mm. The superior thyroid artery followed the lateral branch of the superior laryngeal nerve, and the distance rom its starting to the point of the superior thyroid artery to C3 was (17.0 ± 5.7) mm, and the length from the end of the superior thyroid artery to C5 was (18.2 ± 2.5 ) mm. The superior laryngeal artery followed the medial branch of the superior laryngeal nerve, and the distances from its starting point and end point to C3 were( 15.7 ± 6.7) mm and(19. 7± 5.8) mm respectively. As for the inferior thyroid artery, the distances from its starting point and the end point to C7 were ( 17.3 ± 5.5 ) mm and ( 11.3 ± 3.4 ) mm respectively.CONCLUSION: In the operation on cervical spondylosis, attention should be paid to the anatomic stricture of the special position at different positions so as to reduce the iatrogenic blood vessels and nerve injuries.
