Objective To investigate the value of contrast -enhanced ultrasound combined with serum homocysteine in determining the stability of atherosclerotic plaques.Methods 96 cases with cerebrovascular disease accompanied by carotid atherosclerotic plaques were selected.All patients were taken ultrasonography and contrast -enhanced ultrasound.Semi -quantitative grading was used for plaque according to the reinforced.The serum homocys-teine levels were detected.Results A total of 146 plaques of 96 cases were found out.Hard plaques were 13(8.9%),soft plaques were 71(48.6%)and mixed plaques were 62(42.5%).All cases were divided into three groups according to the plaque ultrasound contrast semiquantitative grading.24 cases were in Ⅰ grade group,46 cases were in Ⅱ grade group,26 cases were in Ⅲ grade group.The differences of serum homocysteine levels among the three groups were statistically significant(F =59.942,P <0.05),pairwise compared,the differences were statistically significant(t =16.837,20.682 and 15.416,all P <0.05).Pearson linear correlation analysis showed that contrast -enhanced ultrasound plaque classifications were positively correlated with serum homocysteine levels(r =0.709,P =0.000).Conclusion Contrast -enhanced ultrasound could accurately assess the neovascularization in the plaque. Semi -quantitative grading of ultrasound contrast are positively correlated with serum homocysteine levels.Combined the two could provides scientific basis for early and accurate prediction the stability of plaque.

Objective To investigate the application effect of two methods,the nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002) and the mini nutritional assessment short-form (MNA-SF),on nutritional screening in elderly patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage,and to evaluate the applicability of two kinds of methods.Methods Using NRS 2002 and MNA-SF,the malnutrition risk screening was performed in 60 cases of elderly patients with cerebral hemorrhage.Based on malnutrition risk score results,the potential nutritional risks were judged,and the application effectiveness was compared between two nutritional evaluation tools.Results Among 60 cases,there were 59 (98.3％) cases with NRS-2002 score≥3,and 1 (1.7％) case with NRS-2002 score ＜ 3.By contrast,using the MNA-SF analysis,among 60 cases there were 3 (5.0％) cases with score of 12-14,7 (11.7％) cases with score of 8-11,and 50 (83.3％) cases with score of 0-7.No statistically significant difference was found between these two methods for analyzing the malnutrition risk incidence (x2 =1.034,P =0.619).Conclusion The risk grade of malnutrition is very high in elderly patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage during the period of hospitalization.NRS 2002 and MNA-SF are both applicable for the nutritional screening in the elderly patients with spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage.Clinical application is more convenient,fast and comprehensive with MNA-SF than with NRS 2002.

Objective To explore the effect of modified type B lynch uterine suture combined with calcium in the prevention and treatment for uterine atony postpartum hemorrhage.Methods 63 pregnant women with postpartum hemorrhage risk factors which would be underwent cesarean delivery were randomly divided into the study group (32 cases) and the control group (31 cases).The study group was given intravenous calcium gluconate (10ml) 10 min before the operation,and modified type B lynch uterine suture in the operation.The control group was only given the same dose of oxytocin of the study group.Results The amount of bleeding intraoperation and 24h after the operation was (182.6 ± 47.7) ml and (214.1 ± 63.8) ml,respectively,the time of intraoperative uterine contractions was (3.8 ± 1.3)min,the degree of hemoglobin decreased 24h after the operation was (9.2 ±2.0) min in the study group,which were less than those of the control group(t =7.26,2.97,2.39,4.01,all P ＜ 0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in puerperal morbidity and neonatal asphyxia between the two groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The modified type B lynch uterine suture combined with calcium could effectively prevent and treat uterine atony postpartum hemorrhage,and could not increase the rate of neonatal asphyxia and puerperal morbidity.

Objective:To systematically assess the efficacy and safety of acupuncture therapy for essential hypertension.Methods:A computerized literature search of the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),Chongqing VIP Database(CQVIP),Wanfang Academic Journal Full-text Database(Wanfang),China Biology Medicine Disc(CBM),PubMed,Excerpta Medica Database(EMBASE),and Cochrane Library was conducted to retrieve randomized controlled clinical trials on acupuncture as the main intervention for the treatment of essential hypertension published from the inception of the database to 30 January 2021.The risk-of-bias assessment was carried out for each included study according to the Cochrane Handbook.Data analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.4.1 and Stata 15.0.Results:After the screening,46 randomized controlled trials involving a total of 3 859 subjects were included.Primary outcomes included changes in the diastolic blood pressure after intervention[eight studies showed that the acupuncture plus antihypertensive drug group was better than the antihypertensive drug monotherapy group[mean difference(MD)=1.45,95%confidence interval(CI)(0.48,2.43),P=0.004,fixed effects model;I2=39%]and changes in the systolic blood pressure after intervention{11 studies showed that the acupuncture plus antihypertensive drug group was better than the antihypertensive drug monotherapy group[MD=8.60,95%CI(7.12,10.07),P<0.00001,fixed effects model;I2=26%]}.The secondary outcome was antihypertensive efficacy,12 studies of acupuncture monotherapy group[risk ratio(RR)=1.20,95%CI(1.12,1.28),P<0.00001,fixed effects model;I2=36%]and 15 studies of acupuncture combined with antihypertensive drug group[RR=1.27,95%CI(1.20,1.34),P<0.00001,fixed effects model;I2=6%]showed better results than the antihypertensive drug monotherapy group in antihypertensive efficacy.In terms of the adverse events,four studies showed that the acupuncture monotherapy group had fewer adverse events than the antihypertensive drug monotherapy group[RR=0.10,95%CI(0.04,0.25),P<0.00001,fixed effects model;I2=0%].Conclusion:Acupuncture combined with antihypertensive drugs is superior to antihypertensive drugs alone in reducing blood pressure,and acupuncture therapy is effective and safe for the treatment of essential hypertension with fewer side effects.However,there is still a lack of high-quality multicenter randomized double-blinded controlled trials in this field.Rigorous large-sample clinical trials are needed to validate these findings.

Objective: To observe the effect of moxibustion on the colonic mucosal barrier of rats with ulcerative colitis (UC) induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). Methods: Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a normal group and a modeling group, with 20 rats in each group. Rats in the modeling group were subjected to preparing experimental UC models by drinking 4％ DSS for seven consecutive days. Two modeled rats and two normal rats were randomly selected for model identification. After the success of UC model was confirmed, the remaining 18 modeled rats were randomly divided into three groups, a model group, a model + herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion group, and a model + mild moxibustion group, with six rats in each group; the remaining normal rats were randomly divided into three groups, a normal group, a normal + herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion group, and a normal + mild moxibustion group, with six rats in each group. After 7 d of intervention with the herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion or the mild moxibustion, hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining technique was used to observe the pathological changes of colon tissue under a light microscope; Western blotting and/or immunohistochemical techniques were used to detect the protein expression levels of Occludin, Claudin, junction adhesion molecular 1 (JAM1), mucin 2 (MUC2), and transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-β1) in rat colon tissue. Results: Compared with the normal group, the colon tissue was severely damaged, the pathological score was significantly increased, and the protein expression levels of Occludin, Claudin, JAM1, MUC2, and TGF-β1 were significantly decreased in the model group (P<0.01); while there were no significant differences in the colonic histopathological score, protein expression levels of Occludin, Claudin, JAM1, MUC2, and TGF-β1 in the normal + herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion group and the normal + mild moxibustion group (P>0.05). Compared with the model group, the model + herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion group and the model + mild moxibustion group showed repaired colon tissue, ulcer healing, significantly reduced pathological score, and significantly increased protein expression levels of JAM1, MUC2, and TGF-β1 (P<0.05); the Occludin protein expression level in the colon tissue of the model + mild moxibustion group was increased (P<0.01). Conclusion: Neither herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion nor mild moxibustion influences the colonic histopathology and intestinal mucosal barrier-related protein expression in the normal rats; both herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion and mild moxibustion can up-regulate the protein expression levels of JAM1, MUC2, and TGF-β1 in the colon tissue of UC rats. Mild moxibustion can up-regulate Occludin protein expression. This may be a mechanism of moxibustion in reducing colonic mucosa inflammation in UC.

Objective To analyze the occupational hazards and protective measures for personnel in an iodine-125(¹²⁵I) seed source production company. Methods In 2022, a ¹²⁵I seed source production enterprise in Guangdong Province was selected as the research subject. The occupational hazards in the workplace of the research subject was identified using the system engineering analysis method. The FLUAK program based on Monte Carlo method was used to simulate the blocking protection of the production of the ¹²⁵I seed source, and to estimate the dose of internal and external irradiation of seed source that affected workers. Results The main occupational radiation hazards in the seed production were non-sealed radioactive materials, including external irradiation from X-ray and γ ray and internal irradiation from aerosols formed by iodine volatilization. Estimated maximum dose equivalent rate around the chest and eye lens for workers were 0.52 and 0.02 μSv/h, respectively. The expected annual effective dose for workers in each work site was 0.035 mSv, and the expected annual equivalent dose to the eye lens for all workers in various work sites was 0.001 mSv. The maximum annual equivalent dose of operator's hand was 80.620 mSv. The maximum dose of internal irradiation to the worker was 18.750 mSv, which was caused by the volatilization of nuclides. Conclusion With effective protection measures for internal and external irradiation in place, the annual exposure doses for seed production personnel and operator’s hand are below the national limits. Adequate measures should be taken on hand protection.

In recent years, with the widespread clinical application of moxibustion, the clinical trials on moxibustion research are also increasing. However, the establishment of negative control of moxibustion, also called as mimicking moxibustion, has become a major challenge in the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) . In this review, we summarized the establishment methods of mimicking moxibustion in RCTs at home and abroad, and evaluated and elaborated the design and application methods of mimicking moxibustion models from thermal effect, light radiation effect and smoke effect that generated by moxibustion, in order to provide insights for the establishment of an ideal and feasible mimicking moxibustion model in future RCTs of moxibustion.
