OBJECTIVETo observe the efficacy differences among acupuncture at Neiguan (PC 6) and Zusanli (ST 36), dolantin and scopolamine in treatment of acute renal colic, and to verify the clinical effect of acupuncture at Neiguan (PC 6) and Zusanli (ST 36).

METHODSTwo hundred and forty patients were randomly divided into an acupuncture group, a scopolamine group and a dolantin group, 80 cases in each group. The acupuncture group was treated by acupuncture at unilateral or bilateral Neiguan (PC 6) and Zusanli (ST 36). The scopolamine group was treated by intramuscular injection of scopolamine combined with intravenous drip of scopolamine, and the dolantin group was treated by intramuscular injection of dolantin. The clinical therapeutic effects were observed 30 min after drug administration or acupuncture, and the onset time of effect and adverse reactions were compared among the groups.

RESULTSThe total effective rate of 95.0% (76/80) in the acupuncture group had a similar therapeutic effect to 92.5% (74/80) in dolantin group (P>0.05), which were both superior to 76.3% (61/80) in scopolamine group (both P<0.05). The onset time of (13.24 +/- 2.12) min in the acupuncture group was significant earlier than (23.11 +/- 6.22) min in scopolamine group and (22.17 +/- 3.15) min in dolantin group (both P<0.05), and compared with the other two groups, the adverse reactions in the acupuncture group were significant decreased (both P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONAcupuncture at Neiguan (PC 6) and Zusanli (ST 36) has a good analgesic effect with a low incidence of adverse reactions, which is superior to that of dolantin and scopolamine.

Objective To find out the problems in quality control of the hemodialysis machine to ensure its safety.Methods MESA 90XL meter and Austrian RIGFL 288 electrical safety tester were used to detect the hemodialysis machines according to military and national standards on dialysate temperature,dialysate conductivity,venous pressure,arterial pressure,dialysate flow,dialysate pH value,heparin pump flow,blood pump flow,dehydration flow,electrical safety and etc.Results Most of the hemodialysis met the clinical requirements while unqualified machines underwent maintenance,and some measures were proposed to solve the problems during the detection.Conclusion Periodical detection and quality control are of greát significance for the hemodialysis machine.
