Objective: To observe the clinical effect of Acupuncture at Baihui (GV 20), Sishencong (EX-HN 1) and Anmian [Extra, locates at the midpoint between Yiming (EX-HN 14) and Fengchi (GB 20)] for primary insomnia. Methods: A total of 112 patients with primary insomnia were randomized into an acupuncture group and a medication group according to the visiting sequence, 56 cases in each group. The acupuncture group was intervened by acupuncture at Baihui (GV 20), Sishencong (EX-HN 1) and Anmian [Extra, locates at the midpoint between Yiming (EX-HN 14) and Fengchi (GB 20)], and points selected based on syndrome differentiation, while the medication group was by oral intake of zopiclone tablet. The Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) was measured before and after treatment, and the clinical efficacy was compared after 1 month of treatment. Results: After treatment, subscales of PSQI and global score in the acupuncture group were improved, and intra-group comparisons showed statistical differences (all P<0.05); subscales of sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration and global score of PSQI in the medication group were improved, showing statistical differences (all P<0.05). Inter-group comparison of global and subscales scores of PSQI showed statistical differences (all P<0.05). The total effective rate in the acupuncture group was 92.9%, higher than 67.9% in the medication group, and between-group comparison showed a statistical difference (P<0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture at Baihui (GV 20), Sishencong (EX-HN 1) and Anmian [Extra, locates at the midpoint between Yiming (EX-HN 14) and Fengchi (GB 20)] as the main treatment method can produce a better effect than oral intake of zopiclone tablet.

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) comprises a heterogeneous group of malignant disorders.The diagnosis of MDS has always been the focus of attention of hematologists all over the world.From the FAB classification to 2008 WHO classification,the diagnosis of MDS has changed from completely morphological diagnosis to multi-parameter diagnosis.Nowadays,the diagnosis of MDS should involve multiple parameters concerning morphology,histochemistry,cytogenetics and immunology.

Objective To study the hemorheology,platelet-activating and hemostasis of severe asphyxiated newborns. Methods Erythrocyte filtration index(IF) ,granule membrane glycoprotein (GMP-140),D-dimer(DD) and yon Willebrand factor(vWF) were measured in 60 severe asphyxiated term newborns and 20 healthy term newborns. The effect of platelet-activating-factor (PAF) antagonist-EGb761 were also obserred. 60 term newborns with severe asphyxia were divided into two groups :treatment group(n= 30) and control group(n = 30). Results During the first day of life the IF,GMP-140,vWF and DD of the severe asphyxiated newborns increased significantly compared with those of healthy newborns(P0.05). Conclusion 1. Severe asphyx iated newborns vary in hemorheology,platelet-activating and hemostasis,which leads to disturbance of microcirculation and organ injury. 2. PAF plays a role in the pathophysiologic process, and PAF antagonist can improve the microcirculation of severe asphyxiated newborns.

Mean platelet volume (MPV) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and coronary artery disease was increased significantly.In those with acute coronary syndrome,multi-vascular disease,obesity,and highvalue of HbA1C(＞7％),the MPV was much higher.Gisini coronary score,fasting blood glucose,high density lipoprotein cholesterol and HbA1C were the independent predictors of MPV in patients with DM and coronary artery disease.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of the two kinds of rigid fixed bridge design on the stress of the alveolar bone of mandibular first molar after hemisection.MethodsThe normal mandibular first molars were selected as control group. The two-abutment teeth and three-abutment teeth rigidly fixed bridge designs were selected as trial group. Stress distributions in the remaining sections of the alveolar bone models were evaluated with photoelastic stress analysis method.ResultsThe stress values of two kinds of rigid fixed bridge design were higher than the control group but still below the twice. There was no significantly difference between two-abutment teeth rigidly fixed bridge design and three-abutment teeth rigidly fixed bridge design (P>0.05).ConclusionTwo-abutment teeth rigidly fixed bridge of mandibular first molar should be chosen after hemisection.
