Selected mainly were acupoints in the adjacent areas and along the meridians, assisted by ashi points. Fengmen (BL 12), Geshu (BL 17) and Xuehai (SP 10) were selected for migratory arthralgia;Shenshu (BL 23) and Guanyuan (CV 4) for cold-aggravated arthralgia; Pishu (BL 20), Zusanli (ST 36)and Yinlingquan (SP 9) for damp arthralgia; Dazhui (GV 14) and Quchi (LI 11) for heat-induced arthralgia. Acupuncture in combination with far infra-red radiation was performed.76 patients with rheumatoid arthritis were treated and 74 cases with herb therapy as control. The result showed that there was statistically significant difference in curative effect between the 2 groups, χ 2=10.18, P＜ 0.01, indicating that the curative effect was significantly better in the treatment group than in the control group. Statistics showed that there was no significant difference in curative effect among the 4 syndromic types, namely migratory arthralgia, cold-aggravated arthralgia, damp-induced arthralgia and heat-induced arthralgia. But there was a statistically significant difference in curative effect between the above 4 syndromic types and deficiency-type arthralgia, indicating that the curative effect in deficiency-type arthralgia was worst.

Objective:To investigate the effect of miR-26b on the invasion and migration of lung cancer cell and to explore its mechanism.Methods:qPCR was used to detect the expression of miR-26b in lung cancer.Luciferase reporter gene was used to detect interaction between miR-26b and hENT1.Transwell assay was used to detect invasion ability after treatment of miR-26b mimics.Scratch assay was used to detect migration ability after treatment of miR-26b mimics.The expressions of hENT1,ROCK-I and RhoA were detected by Western blot.The changes of cytoskeleton after miR-26b mimics treatment with phalloidin were observed.The effect of miR-26b mimics on the tumor size and volume of lung cancer was determined by subcutaneous tumor formation in nude mice.Results:MiR-26b expression was significantly reduced in lung cancer.With the progress of lung cancer,the expression of miR-26b was reduced.With the progress in differentiation of lung cancer,the expression of miR-26b was decreased.Decrease of miR-26b was associated with lung cancer lymph node metastasis.HENT1 was the direct target of miR-26b;miR-26b regulated the invasion and migration ability of human lung carcinoma A549 cells.MiR-26b regulated the expression of hENT1,ROCK-1 and RhoA.After the treatment with miR-26b mimics,the F-actin staining was significantly reduced,whereas the formation of wrinkles and the formation of pseudopodia were significantly reduced.Subcutaneous tumor formation in nude mice showed that miR-26b mimics treatment significantly reduced the tumor size and mass.Conclusion:MiR-26b plays a role in tumor suppression in lung cancer.miR-26b can regulate the invasion and migration ability of lung carcinoma A549 cells by targeting hENT1 depending on the RhoA/ROCK-1 pathway.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy ofacupuncture plus Tuina therapy in treating supraspinatus tendinitis.Methods:One hundred patients with supraspinatus tendinitis were randomly allocated to two groups.The treatment group of 50 cases was treated with acupuncture plus Tuina therapy and the control group of 50 cases,with simple acupuncture.Treatment was given once daily,10 times as a course.The therapeutic effects were evaluated after two courses oftreatment.Results:The total efficacy rate was 96.0%in the treatment group and 74.0%in the control group.x2 test showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the total efficacy rate between the two groups(P＜0.01).Conclusion:Acupuncture plus Tuina therapy is superior to simple acupuncture in treating supraspinatus tendinitis.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the hearing level of deafmute children in three deafmute schools in Nanning,Liuzhou and Guilin cities and reveal the importance of early diagnosis and intervention.METHODS The pure tone hearing thresholds of 0.5,1,2,4 kHz of 357 deafmute children in three deafmute schools were recorded. The disability grade was evaluated according to the average threshold of 4 frequencies.RESULTS A total of 410 students were in the three deafmute schools.There were 248 male and 162 female with an age ranged from 2 to 27 years(14.5 years). The number of hearing disability grade fromⅠtoⅣwere 232(65 %),64(18.0 %),48(13.5 %)and 10(2.6 %)respectively,and 3 children(0.9 %)could not graded the hearing disability.Sixty one children (17.0 %)with light or moderate hearing loss missed their optimal opportunity of hearing and speech rehabilitation.CONCLUSION The results reveal the importance of early diagnosis and intervention of hearing loss.

Objective:To compare the clinical effects of gargle fluid containing scutellaria baicalensis with chlorhexidine in the treatment of chronic gingivitis and to observe TNF-α expression in gingival crevicular fluid(GCF) before and after treatment.Methods:90 cases of chronic gingivitis were divided into 3 groups (n =10) based on random number table and treated by scaling and mouth wash with normal saline(group A),chlorhexidine(group B) and scutellaria baicalensis(group C) respectively.PI and GI were measured,TNF-α level in GCF was examined after initial therapy,1 week,2 week and 1 month after treatment.Results:Comprehensive analysis of the whole treatment process showed that there was difference of PI among 3 groups(F =3.506,P =0.034).PI in group B was lower than that in group A and C (P ＜ 0.05;A vs C,P ＞ 0.05);there was difference of GI among the 3 groups (F =6.359,P =0.003).GI in group A was higher than that in group B and C(P ＜0.05;B vs C,P ＞0.05),there was difference of TNF-α concentration in GCF among the 3 groups(F =3.780,P =0.027);TNF-α in group A was higher than that in group B and C(P ＜0.05,B vs C,P ＞0.05).Conclusion:Radix scutellariae and chlorhexidine gargle fluid are equally effective in the treatment of chronic gigivitis.

The minimally invasive approach is the direction of cardiac surgery.With the development of telemanipulation and computer technology,the minimally robotic surgery has become reality.As the one of the most minimally invasive cardiac surgery,the robotic surgical system provides cardiac surgeons with less invasive manner and dexterity manipulation.Robotic cardiac surgery is an evolutionary process and has resulted in a substantial increased attention to surgeons and patients.This review is to introduce the recent clinical application of robotic technology in cardiac surgery.

OBJECTIVE: To prevent false declaration and to improve the efficiency of drug registration.METHODS: Static game model for connecting enterprise with government was established to analyze influence factors of approving false declaration.RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: The accountability system for enterprise and government is helpful to improve efficiency of drug registration.The accountability system,drug injury compensation system,ADR monitoring and reporting system should be set up.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease(ADPKD),a common inherited disease,is characterized by massive enlargement of fluid-filled renal cysts.Progressively enlarging cysts compromise normal renal parenchyma,reduce renal function and lead to renal failure.Up to now,the treatment options for ADPKD have been limited to renal replacement therapy by dialysis or by transplantation for patients with end-stage renal failure.Inhibition of cyst fluid secretion,suppression of cyst epithelial cell growth and prevention of renal failure are new approaches to treat PKD.
