Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of moving cupping on the back for patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)-related sleep disorders. Methods: A total of 60 patients with CFS-related sleep disorders were randomized into a control group and an observation group, with 30 cases in each group. The control group was treated with oral administration of fluoxetine hydrochloride capsule. The observation group was treated with moving cupping on the back, once every other day. The efficacy was observed after 4 weeks of treatment. The fatigue scale-14 (FS-14) and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) were assessed before and after the treatment to evaluate the clinical efficacy. Results: The total effective rate was 93.3％ in the observation group, and 73.3％ in the control group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the improvement of physical fatigue value, mental fatigue value, and the total score of FS-14 in the observation group were statistically different from those in the control group (all P<0.05). The scores of subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, habitual sleep efficiency, use of sleeping medication, daytime dysfunction of PSQI and the total score in the observation group were improved more significantly than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Moving cupping on the back can significantly improve sleep disorders in CFS patients, and it has a better curative effect than oral fluoxetine hydrochloride capsules.

Objective To study the relationship between serum homocysteine level and acute type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with cerebral infarction.Methods Patients were divided into three groups:acute diabetic cerebral infarction group including 87 patients,diabetes mellitus including 72 patients and control group including 67 healthy persons.The HCY,folic acid,VitB12 and serum lipid were determined.The data was analyzed and the relationship was discussed.Results The level of HCY in diabetic cerebral infarction group[(15.7 ±9.7)nmol/L]was much higher than that in the other two groups[(11.9±7.2)nmol/L and(13.5±6.1)nmol/L].Conclusion HCY maybe participate in occurrence and development of diabetes and pathological changes of blood vessels.It was an independent risk factor of acute cerebral infarction.

Objective To evaluatethe application value of APACHE Ⅱ on the prognoses in prediction of pin hole multi-directional intracranial hematoma aspiration to cure severe cerebral hemorrhage.Methods APACHE Ⅱ scoring system was conducted in randomly collected 58 severe cerebral hemorrhage patients' data (30 patients underwent surgical treatment,28 patients underwent conservative treatment)to evaluate the disease severity,prognosis and effect of the pin hole multi-directional intracranial hematoma aspiration.Results The APACHE Ⅱ score of treatment group on the first day was 28.00 ± 1.92 and the predicted mortality was 0.86 ±0.03.The score was decreased obviously on the tenth day(8.20 ± 0.76)and the predicted mortality was 0.57 ± 0.05.The actual mortality was 33.33％.Conclusion APACHE Ⅱ scoring system is suitable for judging the disease severity and predicting the prognosis of severe cerebral hemorrhage patients,it proves that surgical treatment effect of the pin hole multi-directional intracranial hematoma aspiration is remarkable.

Arsenic trioxide (As2O3)is the main component of traditional Chinese medicine arsenic,which was initially used in the treatment of blood system diseases.In recent years,studies have found that it also has a good effect on a variety of solid tumors,especially gastric cancer.It has been confirmed that As2O3 can inhibit proliferation and metastasis of gastric cancer cells,induce apoptosis and protective autophagy,inhibite lymphatic formation and angiogenesis,affect the expression of telomere-related proteins in gastric cancer cells.

Objective To determine the reversal effect of psoralen on multidrug resistance (MDR) in the harringtonine (HT)-resistant leukemic cell line HL60/HT. Method The modulating effect of psoralen on MDR in HL60 and HL60/HT cells were determined by the measurement of cell growth and viability via MTT assay. High performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) was used to analyze intracellular HT concentrations in HL60/HT and HL60 cells treated with psoralen. Result Psoralen from 1 to 20 μmol/L could reduce the value of IC50 to HT and enhance the accumulation of HT in HL60/HT cells. Conclusion Psoralen can reverse MDR of HL60/HT cells and is a potential modulator of MDR.

Objective To study and observe the changes of pancreatic blood flow and blood miR indexes of patients with pancreatic cancer.Methods 70 patients with pancreatic cancer were selected as the observation group,70 health persons of the same age at the same period were selected as the control group, then the blood flow indexes and blood miR of observation group’s lesion and tumor adjacent tissue and control group’s healthy pancreas were detected,and the detection results of control group and observation group were compared,then the above indexes of observation group with different Hemrick stages were compared.Results The lesion blood flow indexes of observation group were all obviously worse than those of control group(P<0.05),blood miR indexes were all higher than those of control group(P <0.05),the lesion and tumor adjacent tissue blood flow indexes all had obvious differences(P<0.05),and the above indexes of observation group with different Hemrick stages all had significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion The pancreatic blood flow and blood miR of patients with pancreatic cancer all show obvious abnormal state,and the differences of indexes of patients with different Hemrick stages are all prominent, so the pancreatic blood flow and blood miR indexes all have higher value for the patients with pancreatic cancer.

Autoimmune diseases are characterized by the presence of various autoantibodies and may cause injuries to multiple organs,with kidney as the most common and important organ involved.Autoantibodies are of great importance in the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of autoimmune renal diseases.Lupus nephritis,anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis and antiglomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease are the most common autoimmune renal diseases.Anti-C1q antibody,ANCA and anti-GBM antibody play important roles in those diseases,respectively.Appropriate and steady detecting methods are crucial to clinicians,and the results should also be interpreted with great cautions.
