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 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 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 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.

MicroRNAs are the endogenous non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by mediating gene post-transcriptional silence.Among them,miR-21,miR-17-92,miR-214,miR-26a,miR-221,miR-222and so on mainly suppress the expression of PTEN phosphohydrolase through targeting PTEN mRNA 3'-UTR.PTEN plays an important role in cell proliferation,apoptosis,migration and invasion,and its low expression will induce tumorigenesis.

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 observe the effect of treatment on post-stroke hiccup by acupuncture and medicine.[Methods]58 cases were divided into 2 groups randomly,30 cases were taken the acupuncture and medicine treatment, 28 cases were injected metoclopramide as control. [Results]The curative effect in therapy group is much better than that of control group(P<0.05).[Conclusion]The therapy of acupuncture and medicine is superior to pure medicine in the treatment of post-stroke hiccup.

With the development of molecular biology,molecular targeted therapy has become main direction and trend at the aspect of oneotherapy in the 21th century.Molecularly targeted agents which target VEGF/VEGFR,EGFR.Raf/MAPK-ERIC,HGFR,as well as associating with other therapies are available in the clinical treatment of primary hepatic carcinoma,and inspiring results have also achieved in some clinical trials.The review attempts to summarize the clinical research advancemem in molecularly targeted therapy of primary hepatic carcinoma.
