Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of different acupuncture methods in treating post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN). Method Eighty PHN patients were randomized into group A, B, C and D, 20 in each group. Group A was intervened by fire-needle acupuncture, group B was by surround acupuncture, group C by pricking and cupping, and group D was by oral administration of Pregabalin. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was observed before and after intervention, and the clinical efficacy was compared. Result Compared to the pre-treatment VAS scores, the VAS scores were significantly changed after intervention and at 30 d after intervention in the 4 groups (P<0.05). The recovery rate and markedly-effective rate were respectively 55.0%and 95.0%in group A, 45.0%and 90.0%in group B, 50.0%and 85.0%in group C, and 40.0%and 60.0%in group D. There were no significant inter-group differences in comparing the recovery rate (P>0.05). The markedly-effective rates of group A, B and C were significantly different from that of group D (P<0.05). Conclusion Fire-needle acupuncture, surround acupuncture, and pricking and cupping are all effective methods in treating PHN;they safe and reliable and can obviously reduce pain intensity.

AIM: To investigate the protein expression of cyclin D_2 and p16 in proliferation and differentiation of cultured cardiac myocytes.METHODS: One-day-old Sparague-Dawley rats were used. Cardiac myocytes(CM) were collected by a trypsin-dispersal method and cultured. Cell growth line and fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) were used to investigate the proliferation of CM. Ultra-thin sections were made to observe the ultrastructure of CM under transmission electron microscope. The expression of cyclin D_2 and p16 in CM were measured using immunocytochemistry and image analysis.RESULTS: ①Results of cell growth line and FACS analysis showed that cultured CM could proliferate in the first 3 cultured days, but the ability decreased quickly, concomitant with differentiation. CM was obseved quiescent in cell cycle three days later. The ultrastructure of CM showed the large amount of myofilaments and mitochondrion. ②The protein expression of cyclin D_2 in 3,4,5 day CM group was 0.89 times( P

ObjectivesTo study the current status of child neglect and its inlfuencing factors in children aged 3-6 years in rural Henan.MethodsScales and evaluation methods in the Chinese rural child aged 3-6 years neglected eval-uation model were applied in this study. The neglect rate and the neglect degree were used to describe the neglect status of rural children aged 3-6 years in Henan. The inlfuencing factors for child neglect were also analyzed. ResultsThe total neglect rate in 450 enrolled children was 37.1% (167/450). The total neglect degree was 51.9±6.5. The boys had signiifcant-ly higher neglect rate than girls (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in neglect degree between boys and girls (P>0.05). There were significant differences in neglect rate and neglect degree among the different age groups (P<0.05), the higher neglect rate and higher neglect degree over age. The neglect rate and neglect degree in nuclear families and fam-ilies with three generations were lower than those in single-parent families and remarried families (P<0.05). The neglect rate and neglect degree in non-only children were higher than those in only children (P<0.05). The left-behind children had signiifcantly higher neglect rate and neglect degree than children living with parents (P<0.05). Based on multivariate logis-tic regression analysis, the risk factors of child neglect were single-parent families (OR = 4.78, 95%CI : 2.10-10.87) and remarried families (OR=4.53, 95%CI : 1.99-10.01). The protective factors of child neglect were parents working on sci-ence (OR = 0.20, 95%CI : 0.10-0.67) and living with parents (OR = 0.03, 95%CI : 0.00-0.54).ConclusionsThe neglect status is serious in Henan rural children, particularly in left-behind children.

Objective To investigate the breastfeeding knowledge of neonatal unit medical staff. Methods A purposefully designed anonymous survey was piloted and then distributed to nurses and doctors working in the neonatal unit. Respondents were required to answer twelve single choice and eight multiple choice questions to assess their level of knowledge of breastfeeding. A total of 180 questionnaires were distributed and 135 were returned. Results The average total score of the questionnaire was (61.11 ± 10.85) points. Item ofhow to deal with the thawed milk with not finished after heatingwas highest right rate ,97.8%(132/135);item ofdrug used during breastfeedingwas lowest right rate, only 1.5%(2/135). Conclusions This project has demonstrated that the medical staff is lack of knowledge towards the practice of breastfeeding in neonatal unit and the education of breastfeeding is urgently needed to help the medical staff and guarantee the security of breastfeeding.

Objective To investigate the characteristic of rotavirus(RV) molecular epidemiology among infants and young children with nosoeomial diarrhea in Shanghai area. Methods Two hundred and twenty-six stool specimens collected from inpatients with nosocomial diarrhea from November 2006 to January 2008 were measured by colloidal gold assay and nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The positive samples were typed to investigate the clinical characteristics of patients. The data were shown with constituent ratio and positive detection rate. The analysis was done by using t test. Results RV was detected in 108 of 226 specimens (47.8%) by colloidal gold assay. The incidence was highest in infants younger than one year old. Neonatal cases with RV accounted for 32.4 % of all RV nosocomial infections recruited. The peak seasons were October and November. RV serotyping in 67 cases older than 1 year old by nested PCR showed that G3 was predominant and accounted for 46.3%, followed by G1 (23.9%), G2 (3.0%), G9 (1.5%), seven cases were coinfections with G1 and G3 (10.40%) and 10 couldn't be typed. Based on P typing, P [8] was predominant genotype with 90.0%, P[4] accounted for only 6.0% and 3 couldn't be typed. P[6], P[9] and P[10] haven't been detected. G3P[8] was the maior isolates which accounted for 61.2%, followed by G1P[8] (17.9 %), G1 and G3P[8] coinfection accounted for 9.5%. Two cases were infected with G2P[4] and G8P[9], respectively. Ten out of 32 neonatal specimens were typed successfully which were G1P [8]. Nosocomial RV diarrhea resulted in prolonged hospital stay and increased medical cost. Conclusions RV is the major etiological agent of nosoeomial diarrhea among infants and young children in Shanghai area. G3P[8] is the predominant serotype. And the outbreak of G1 epidemic strain infection should be monitored.

Objective To study influence of psychological intervention on life quality of patients with non-erosive reflux disease(NERD) complicated with depression. Methods Patients with NERD and depression(95 cases) were divided randomly into the observation group(48 cases) and the control group(47 cases).The control group received oral administration of rabeprazole,10 mg,bid.The observation group was given psychological intervention based upon routine medication.Tbe reflux diagnostic questionnaire (RDQ), self-rating depression scale(SDS) and quality of life-index(QL-INDEX) scale were adopted for evaluation before and 8 weeks after treatment. Results The score of SDS was (41.58±6.85) in the observation group,which was lower than that of the control group,(50.42±9.26), after 8 weeks of treatment (P<0.01). The score of QL-INDEX was (8.56±1.38) in the observation group,which was higher than that of the con-trol group,(7.98±1.42), after 8 weeks of treatment (P<0.05). Conclusions Psychological intervention for patients with non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) complicated with depression can ameliorate their de-pression state and improve their life quality.

Objective To investigate the effect of the psychological behavior intervention on the mental status and clinical symptom of patients with functional constipation. Methods All of 78 patients with functional constipation diagnosed by Rome m diagnostic code were randomly divided into study group (n =40) and control group (n = 38). The psychological behavior intervention was used in the study group, the caccagogue and symptomatic treatment was used in the control group. The self-rating anxiety scale(SAS),self-rating depressive scale (SDS) was analyzed and the improving of clinical symptom, adverse effect was compared before and after 4 weeks of treatment respectively. Results The scores of SAS and SDS in the study group significantly decreased after treatment [ (36.25±8.61 )scores vs (42.97±9.25 )scores, P<0.01 ;(38.81±6.53)scores vs (43.36±7.18 )scores ,P < 0.01].There was significant difference between the two groups after treatment (P <0.05).The effective rate of study group was higher than that of control group .(97.50% vs 84.21%,P <0.05). The rate of celiodynia, diarrhea and the recrudescence after the course of treatment in control group was 23.68%, 15.79% and 89.47% respectively, while this numerus in study group was 5.00%,2.50% and 5.00%. Conclusions Psychological behavior intervention plays an important role in the treatment of functional constipation. It can improve the mental status, clinical symptom, and decrease the adverse effect.

Mutations of BRCA1 and BRCA2 are closely related to developing of breast cancer andovarian cancer. There are a great diversity of founder mutations of BRCA1 and BRCA2. Their types and fre quency are greatly different in populations from different geographic regions and ethnicities. In particular ethnicgroups, founder mutations show a high frequency due to a founder effect. Compared with the expensive wholegenomic scan, screening of founder mutations which could provide information for the prevention and treatmentof related cancer is more convenient and easy to popularize with low cost.
