Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2016;35(7):830-832
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in treating cancer-related fatigue (CRF) due to spleen-kidney deficiency.Method Sixty eligible subjects with CRF due to spleen-kidney deficiency were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. The control group was intervened by nutritional support and symptomatic management, while the treatment group was treated with acupuncture in addition to the intervention given to the control group. The Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS), Piper Fatigue Scale (PFS), and peripheral blood test were observed before and after treatment.Result The KPS scores were significantly changed after treatment in both groups (P<0.05). The PFS item scores (behavior, affect, sensory, and cognition) were significantly changed after intervention in the treatment group (P<0.05). The behavior score in the control group was significantly changed after treatment (P<0.05). After treatment, there were significant differences in comparing the PFS item scores between the two groups (P<0.05). There were significant differences in comparing the lymphocyte levels between the two groups after treatment (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture is an effective method in treating CRF due to spleen-kidney deficiency, and it can up-regulate the peripheral blood cells and strengthen the immunity.

Objective To evaluate the impact of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training on the willingness to perform on-site rescue for patients with apnea and cardiac arrest. Methods Through questionnaire survey, the analyses on the differences in the results of evaluating various indicators in CPR Willingness Questionnaire in 364 willingness (including 14 recurrent training personnel) of Yunnan Emergency Center from January 2017 to June 2018 before and after CPR training were carried out in order to observe the impact of training on willingness CPR willingness. Results A total of 364 questionnaires were distributed and 364 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a recovery rate of 100%. Compared with those before the CPR training, the analyses of the contents of the questionnaire showed that the proportions of following 6 types of volunteer who were reluctant to implement CPR on site begore training were significantly lower after CPR training [no confidence in their own operational skills: 20.3% (74/364) vs. 83.2% (303/364), being impossible to identify the patients requiring CPR: 25.5% (93/364) vs. 87.1% (317/364), fear of mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration to contract infectious diseases: 30.2% (110/364) vs. 82.4% (300/364), worried about chest compressions leading to bone fractures: 23.3% (85/364) vs. 86.8% (316/364), worried about the inaccurate positioning of chest compressions: 12.4% (45/364) vs. 82.4% (300/364) and fear of taking legal responsibility: 14.3% (52/364) vs. 89.8% (327/364)], and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05); after training, the following 3 kinds of proportions of carrying out CPR were much higher than those before training [volunteers were willing to implement CPR on site for strangers: 83.2% (303/364) vs. 54.9% (200/364), volunteers were willing to implement CPR on site for friends, colleagues, classmates and other acquaintances: 83.5% (304/364) vs. 58.2% (212/364), volunteers were willing to implement CPR on site for family members: 84.6% (308/364) vs. 61.8% (225/364)], the differences being statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Conclusion CPR training for volunteers can improve their willingness to perform on-site rescue for patients with apnea and cardiac arrest, but there are still partial barriers of CPR willingness for strangers.

Objective:To explore the difficulties and surgical decision of laparoscopic technique in patients with complicated hepatolithiasis.Methods:The clinical data of 13 patients with complicated hepatolithiasis who underwent laparoscopic hepatectomy at Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from December 2019 to December 2020 were collected. There were 3 males and 10 females with average age of 50.8 years (range: 14 to 67 years). All patients had upper abdominal pain and a history of cholecystectomy, 4 of them had fever.Seven cases underwent laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy+bile duct exploration, 2 cases underwent laparoscopic right hemihepatectomy+bile duct exploration, 2 cases underwent laparoscopic quadrate hepatectomy (liver 4B+Part 5)+hilar cholangioplasty+bile duct exploration, 2 cases underwent laparoscopic quadrate lobe resection (liver 4B+Part 5)+cholangioplasty+cholangiojejunostomy. All patients were re-examined with abdominal ultrasound and choledochoscope 3 months after operation.Results:The median operation time was 5.2 hours (range: 3.6-6.5 hours), blood loss was 278 ml (range: 120-580 ml). During the operation, 1 case had duodenal bulb injury, and the defect area was about 1.0 cm × 1.2 cm. After timely detection, the defect area was carefully evaluated and trimmed. Absorbable suture was used to suture duodenal bulb, and gastrojejunostomy was performed after repair. One case had small intestinal serosa injury, which was intermittently sutured and embedded with absorbable suture. All the patients recovered smoothly without death. Three months after the operation, 12 patients completed abdominal ultrasound and T-tube sinus choledochoscopy. Residual stones were found in 3 patients, stones were removed in 2 patients by T-tube sinus choledochoscopy 3 months after the operation, 1 patient was still in the recovery period (within 3 months after surgery). No residual stones were found in the remaining 10 patients.Conclusion:The three key laparoscopic techniques in operation of complex hepatolithiasis: adhesiolysis and porta hepatis exposure, laparoscopic hepatectomy, and laparoscopic choledochojejunostomy are very important.
