6.A Sociological Analysis of Plagues based on Habermas' Living-World Theories——Taking the Harbin murrain in the First Half Leaf of 20th Century as an Example
Chinese Medical Ethics 1994;0(05):-
Based on the construction and its rational theories of Habermas's living-world,this paper analyzes the characteristics of plague and adjusts them according to Chinese social framework and realistic conditions during plagues.The social rescuing system and its sociological rational evolution style are also analyzed based on the functional framework of government,social culture and individuals.Individual's life style and behaviors have both been adjusted due to high pressures of plagues and government's standardization and interferences to the plagues.But seen in the long run,rational evolution of individual's life style depends on the accumulation of time,civilization,and the recognition of medical ethics among general public.
7.Clinical effect of point-to-point acupuncture with electric stimulation of direct current induction for facial nerve paralysis
International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2017;39(3):208-211
Objective To observe the clinical effect of point-to-point acupuncture with electric stimulation of direct current induction for facial nerve paralysis. Methods A total of 65 patients with facial nerve paralysis were randomly divided into the observation group (n=33) and the control group (n=32). The control group received routine treatment, and observation group was received Dicang (ST4)-to-Jiache (ST6) and Yangbai (GB14)-to-Taiyang (EX-HN5) by acupuncture with electric stimulation of direct current induction combined with conventional western medicine. The treatment of both groups last 3 weeks. The House-Brackmann Scale and the BR indexe at baseline and after 3 weeks treatment were observed. Results After treatment, The clinical effect of observation group was 66.7%, which was significantly higher than control group 43.8% (U=2.175, P=0.013). After treatment, House-Brackmann facial nerve scale (Ⅰ level=15 cases, Ⅱ level=4 cases, Ⅲ level=3 cases) in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group (Ⅰ level=5 cases, Ⅱ level=7 cases, Ⅲ level=2 cases; U=2.069, P=0.018). After treatment, R1 latency (12.28 ± 2.55 ms vs. 13.84 ± 3.07 ms, t=2.227) and R2 latency (32.28 ± 7.08 ms vs. 35.95 ± 5.11 ms, t=2.396) in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (P=0.030, P=0.020). Conclusions The point-to-point acupuncture with electric stimulation of direct current induction could reduce latency of R1 and R2 for facial nerve paralysis, and improve the clinical effect.
8.Evaluation of the value of application of continuous glucose monitoring system in a rabbit model of hypoglycemia
Chinese Journal of Comparative Medicine 2017;27(3):68-74
Objective To establish a rabbit model of hypoglycemia and evaluate the accuracy and timeliness of hypoglycemia monitoring by continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS).Methods Sixteen female New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups, with 4 rabbits in each group.The rabbits in the control group were given intravenous infusion of saline.The animals in the experimental group were infused with insulin continuously, which were divided into 0.1 U/kg/h insulin group (RI=0.1 U group), 0.2 U/kg/h insulin (RI=0.2 U group) group and 0.4 U/kg/h insulin group (RI=0.4 U group) accordingly.During the experiment, CGMS was monitored for 240 min.Blood samples were collected at a 30-minute interval and the blood glucose level was measured by a hand glucose meter.Results A total of 1296 CGMS monitoring data were obtained during the study period, and 136 BG monitoring data matched with CGMS time were obtained.After the insulin administration, BG and CGMS were significantly decreased.The reduction rates of BG and CGMS were 0.016 and 0.017 mmol/L/min in the RI=0.1 U insulin group, 0.04 and 0.027 mmol/L/min in the RI=0.2U insulin group, and 0.049 and 0.032 mmol/L/min in the RI=0.4 U group.According to whether BG monitoring value was lower than 4.4 mmol/L, the BG-CGMS paring data were divided into hypoglycemia and normoglycemia.In hypoglycemia, the average deviation of BG-CGMS was 0.55 mmol/L (the upper and lower limits were-0.98 and 2.08 mmol/L, respectively) and the absolute difference percentage (RAD) was 40.2% ± 45.2%.The mean deviation of BG-CGMS in normal blood glucose was-0.19 mmol/L (upper and lower limits were-1.38 and 1.00 mmol/L, respectively) and 5.8% ± 5.3% in RAD.The error grid analysis (EGA) showed that the proportion of zone A was 93.4%, 0.7% in zone B, and 5.9% in zone D, and the zone D was distributed in area of low BG and high CGMS.Conclusions The results of this study indicate that CGMS has a significant hysteresis phenomenon when blood glucose is reduced rapidly.When the blood glucose levels fall below 4.4 mmol/L, CGMS may have a risk of overestimating blood glucose.Such risk should be fully considered during CGMS clinical application.
