Objective To analyze the clinical effect of acupuncture combined with speech rehabilitation training in the treatment of dysarthria after stroke.Methods 88 patients with dysarthria after stroke were selected as study subjects,and they were randomly divided into the control group and the treatment group,44 cases in each group. The control group was treated with speech rehabilitation training,and the treatment group was treated with acupuncture combined with speech rehabilitation training.At the end of treatment,the dysarthria efficacy,a number of aand the incidence of adverse reactions were observed and compared between the two groups.Results The cure rate(9.09%) and total effective rate (77.27%)in the control group were significantly lower than those in the treatment group (25.00%,97.73%),and the differences were statistically significant(χ2 =3.94,8.42,all P <0.05).Before treat-ment,there was no significant difference between the two groups in the number of a(P >0.05),after treatment,the number of ain the control group was (7.39 ±3.67),which was significantly lower than (16.32 ±7.83)in the treatment group(t =4.20,P <0.05).The incidence rate of adverse reaction between two groups had no statistically significant difference(χ2 =3.11,P >0.05).Conclusion For post -stroke patients with dysarthria,acupuncture combined with speech rehabilitation training has good treatment effect,and the method can increase the number of aof patients,and has high security,it is worthy of widely application in clinic.

BACKGROUND: Over the past several years, Clostridium difficile has become a major healthcare-associated pathogen. Fecal bacteriotherapy has been reported as an effective intervention for treating recurrent C. difficile infection by restoring the normal intestinal microbiota. METHODS: Articles on fecal bacteriotherapy were collected through PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases using the keywords "Clostridium difficile," "feces," "fecal transplantation," "fecal microbiota transplantation," and "fecal bacteriotherapy." Using a systematic literature review, variables of interest from articles that met the inclusion criteria were extracted and summarized. RESULTS: Among 141 articles that were published in English from January 1, 2000 to August 31, 2012, 8 studies were selected for analysis after assessing the titles, abstracts, and full contents. Fecal bacteriotherapy procedures varied with respect to donor selection, screening, infusion route, and preparation of the suspension. Donors were mostly family members or relatives, and donor screening included tests for blood borne and stool pathogens. Selected infusion routes were colonoscopy (62.5%), nasogastric tube (25%), and enema (12.5%). The success rate was reported to be 73-100%. There was a lack of a standard procedure for fecal bacteriotherapy in all of the selected studies. CONCLUSION: Fecal bacteriotherapy is an effective intervention for combating C. difficile infection that has a high success rate and no adverse effects. This therapy would be helpful for infection control in hospital settings by facilitating early eradication of C. difficile infection.

Objective To investigate the deep ulcer infection of anaerobic bacteria in patients with diabetic foot ,while make clini-cal value analysis .Methods 87 specimens collected from the patients with deep ulcers of diabetic foot were performed by bacterio-logical smear and bacterial culture respectively .Results The bacteriological smear positive cases were 81 ,the aerobic culture posi-tive cases were 67 and the anaerobic culture positive cases were 17 .Conclusion The deep ulcers of diabetic foot often are infected by anaerobic bacteria .Aerobic culture and anaerobic culture are both necessary to define the pathogen .It must be noted that the an-aerobic culture positive rate would be interfered by incorrect sampling ,no timely examination ,using antibiotics and incorrect culture conditions .

Objective To observe the effect of antipruritic lotion combined Fuyanxiao with biological dress-ing suppository in the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis in pregnancy(VVC)the clinical curative effect and the recurrence rate.Methods 236 patients with pregnancy complicated with VVC,would be in community were randomly divided into the two groups:combination treatment group,single drug group,118 cases in each.Combination therapy using antipruritic lotion combined Fuyanxiao biological dressing suppository combined treatment,the control group was treated by Fuyanxiao biological dressing suppository treatment,two groups of clinical efficacy and recurrence rate after the end of treatment were compared.Results The cure rate in the combined treatment group was 90.68%,which was higher than 57.62 % in the control group(χ2 =10.731,P <0.01);The recurrence rate in the combined treatment group was 3.39%,which was lower than 13.56% in the control group(χ2 =10.733,P <0.05).Conclusion The antipruritic lotion combined Fuyanxiao biological dressing suppository in the treatment of pregnancy with VVC can effectively improve the clinical symptoms of patients,reduce the recurrence rate.

Objective To observe the efficacy and clinical security of percutaneous coronary intervention combined with edaravone injection in treating ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction. Methods Group A was treated with conventional percutaneous coronary intervention plus edaravone injection , while group B was treated only with conventional percutaneous coronary intervention. Outcomes were compared between these two groups after the intervention. Results The two groups were successfully operated by percutaneous coronary intervention treatment. Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction,TIMI myocardial perfusion grade and ST-segment recovery after operation had no significant difference. After 48 h treatment, MDA in serum of group A was (3.16 ± 0.12)mol/L. Serum MDA content in group B, was (4.38 ± 0.13)mol/L. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). In addition, 7 d cardiac function indexes and cardiac arrhythmia rate were lower than those in group B (P < 0.05). Conclusions The combination use of percutaneous coronary intervention and edaravone can effectively improve heart function in patients shortly in the treatment of ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction.Hhowever, the further studies are still needed to evaluate the long term efficacy.

The incidence of cardiovascular dysfunction in the early stage of sepsis is high,early detection and timely treatments are beneficial to reduce the mortality of sepsis.Biological markers are known to play a very important role in detecting and treating sepsis.The aim of this article was to review the relationship between Pentraxin 3 and sepsis with cardiovascular dysfunction.

153 TMD patients were randomized to be treated by closed treatment of Kenalog(78 cases)and prednisolone(75 cases)respec-tively.Data were analyzed by SPSS 17.0.4-week-follow-up showed that Kenalog closed treatment was more effective than prednisolone(P<0.05).

Sepsis has become a widespread and very complex issue for modern critical care medicine.It is undoubtedly of great theoretical and clinical significance that we should strengthen the study of sepsis and explore new treatments and drugs.It has been found that curcumin had anti-tumor,anti-inflammatory,anti-virus,antibacterial,antioxidant and other pharmacological effects,low toxicity,and a good potential for clinical application.Moreover,it was thought to be potentially immunomodulatory in the last two decades.A number of experimental studies had elicited that curcumin could be used for sepsis and septic shock.This article reviews the immune regulation mechanism of curcumin in sepsis.
