After studying the Classic on Medical Problems (Nanjing), the records of acupuncture therapy was studied in a systematic way. Academically, the Classic on Medical Problems (Nanjing)should be attached the same importance to the Internal Canon of Medicine. The acupuncture therapies in the Classic on Medical Problems (Nanjing) can be summarized as the followings: emphasizing on both hands together acupuncture;Stating reinforcing and reducing methods in acupuncture;developing the obey and opposite. The method of reigforcing and reducing in matching acupoint; stating the four seasons in acupuncture. The acupuncture therapies discussed in the Classic on Medical Problems (Nanjing) also has a profound impact on clinical medicine until today.

Objective To study the effect of image quality and radiation dose by using Z -axis automatic tube current modulation(ATCM),as well as the application of automatic tube current modulation technology.Methods A control group consisting of 25 patients underwent cervical MDCT with fixed-current technique(100-220mA).Of two study groups of 25 patients,one underwent cervical MDCT using z-axis ATCM with the noise index of NI10 and tube current intensity of 80-480 mA,and the other with the noise index of NI12.5 and tube current intensity of 80-369 mA.The noise and mean tube current-time products(mAs) were recorded.Two radiologists evaluated images for diagnostic acceptability.Results All CT examinations of study and control groups were diagnostically acceptable,though objective noise was different with z-axis ATCM than with fixed current.ATCM resulted in significant radiation dose reduction(NI10,94.8?17.9 mAs;NI12.5,74.8? 18.3 mAs),when compared with the fixed current(130.4?43.1 mAs).Conclusion Z-axis Automatic mA technique has no significant change in image quality when compared with the fixed mA technique,but the radiation dose is decreased by 27%(NI10) and 43%(NI12.5),for MDCT evaluation of neck.NI has to be selected on the basis of the tissue,lesion size and nature.

Objective To estimate the prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) among the patients undergoing manintenance hemodialysis (MHD), and evaluate the efficacy and the adverse effects of sildenafil for ED. Methods The international index of erectile function questionnaire (IIEF) was used to estimate 22 male MHD cases. ED patients were administered sildenafil with the initial dose of 25 mg/d, then maximum of 100 mg/d for 12 weeks. Results 72. 73% (16/22) of MHD patients complained of ED, and the total effective rate of sildenafil was 87.5% (14/16) with common adverse effects-headache and flushing. Conclusion Sildenafil in MHD patients has similar efficacy and safety as the others.

Objective To investigate the changes and its clinical significance of serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) level and plasma tissue plasminogen activator( t-PA ) level in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). Methods 99 aMCI patients (aMCI group) and 99 matched normal controls (NC group) were recruited for the present study. Multi-dimension neuropsychologic tests were used to extensively assess cognitive function of subjects. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was applied to measure serum BDNF level and plasma t-PA level. The correlation analysis between serum BDNF level and plasma t-PA level tested by ELISA and cognitive function were also made. Results (1) The results neuropsychologic tests in aMCI guoup were significantly lower than those in NC group (all P

Objective To evaluate the radiation dose and image quality of MinDose techniques in dual-source CT coronary artery angiography.Methods 120 consecutive patients undergoing cardiac CT scans were randomly assigned into 2 groups: Group A1 with the tube current reduced to 20% of the normal tube current outside the pulsing window,and Group A2 with the tube current reduced to 4% of the normal tube current outside the pulsing window (MinDose).The image quality,noise,volume CT dose index (CTDIvol),and effective dose (E) of these two groups were evaluated.Results The mean score of imaging quality of Group A1 was (4.3 ± 0.3 ),not significantly different from that of Group A2 [(4.5 ±0.4),t=0.16,P＞0.05].The value of CTDIvol of Group A1 was (40.2 ±9.6) mGy,significantly higher than that of Group A2 [( 36.4 ± 9.1 ) mGy,t = 3.2,P ＜ 0.05].The E value of Group A1 was (9.1± 2.2) mSv ,significantly higher than that of A2 [( 8.1 ± 1.9) mSv,t = 2.7,P ＜ 0.05].Conclusion Application of the MinDose technique not only reduces the radiation dose to the patient,but also meets the requirement of diagnosis.

Background In previous study,peripheral retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness is considered to be the earliest structural changes which can be detected.3D-OCT can measure the thickness of macular ganglion cell complex (mGCC),which makes the detection of primary glaucoma possible in the early stage.Objective This study was to measure the thickness of mGCC and disc-peripheral RNFL in early stage of primary glaucomous eyes by 3D-OCT and assess the anatomic basis of glaucoma-induced optical nerve damage.Methods 3D-OCT images from 10 patients with advanced stage primary glaucoma in one lateral eye and early stage glaucoma in fellow eye from December 2010 to December 2012 were prospectively analyzed in China-Japan Friendship Hospital.The patients were diagnosed based on the recommended standard of National glaucoma group (1987 version) and received routine eye examination.3D-OCT scanning was performed using 3D-macular mode,3D-macular Wide mode and 3D-disc mode with TOPCON 3D-OCT 2000 system,and the images at macular 6 mm×6 mm area were analyzed.The posterior pole area was divided into 5 concentric rings from fovea toward periphery and equally subdivided into 100 small checks,with the area of 0.6 mm×0.6 mm for each.The probable values in each check were calculated as the ratio of each figure and corresponding normal value.The probable values were expressed as red color (P＜ 1％),yellow color (P＜5％) and gray color (P≥ 5％).Then the disc-periphery RNFL thickness and disc cup were evaluated.Results No evident abnormality was found in the thicknesses of photoreceptors layer and bipolar cell layer in both advanced glaucomous eyes and the early stage of glaucomous eyes in the 10 patients.Serious damage of visual field was seen in the advanced glaucomous eyes and presented with red color in the parapapillary RNFL area,mGCC area and macular RNFL area,showing an evidently attenuation of the thicknesses of parapapillary RNFL,mGCC and RNFL.However,the visual field was close normal in the early stage glaucomous eyes,and mGCC and macular RNFL showed yellow color,while green or yellow color was exhibited in the parapapillary RNFL area,indicating mGCC and macular RNFL thickness was reduced,but parapapillar RNFL thickness was near normal.Conclusions The change of mGCC thickness is earlier than that of peripheral RNFL at optic disc in primary glaucomaous eyes,which may imply that the disappear of macular ganglion cell body is earlier than that of the axon.

Objective With the increasing of the CT examination, the dose of x-ray has been brought to public attention. For the sake of making the MDCT technology better applied, available optimal technology has to be used to reduce the x-ray dose to the patients. Methods Many optimal technologies were involved in, such as ECG modulation, cardiac bowtie, 3D dose modulation, compact geometry design, electron collector and speed 4D CARE dose. Results The result of the research showed that the dose of scanning x-ray of CT could be decreased sharply by using optimal technologies. The Q2 values was the standard which could well evaluate the quality of the CT′s images and the dose of x-ray. Conclusion The quality of images and the dose of x-ray can′t be separated, which must be quoted together.
