Objective: To explore the efficacy and mechanism of warm needling moxibustion plus percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) due to kidney deficiency and blood stasis. Methods: A total of 70 OVCF patients were randomized into a control group and an observation group, with 35 cases in each group. The control group was given PKP treatment, and the observation group was treated with warm needling moxibustion on the basis of the treatment in the control group. The visual analog scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were scored and the Cobb angle of fractured vertebrae was measured before and after treatment. The re-fracture rate of the adjacent vertebrae was recorded at 1-year follow-up. The serum levels of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 and omentin-1 were measured before and after treatment. Results: After treatment, the VAS and ODI scores in both groups decreased (all P<0.05), and all the scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (both P<0.05). After treatment, the Cobb angle of fractured vertebrae in both groups decreased (both P<0.05), and the Cobb angle in the observation group was smaller than that in the control group (P<0.05). At 1-year follow-up, the re-fracture rate of the adjacent vertebrae in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the serum levels of TGF-β1 and omentin-1 in both groups increased significantly (all P<0.05), and the serum levels of TGF-β1 and omentin-1 in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (both P<0.05). Conclusion: The treatment of warm needling moxibustion plus PKP can relieve pain, improve dysfunction, promote healing of the injured vertebrae, and reduce the re-fracture rate of the adjacent vertebrae in patients with OVCF due to kidney deficiency and blood stasis, which may be related to the increase of serum TGF-β 1 and omentin-1 levels.

Purpose:To study the salvage treatment of recurrent intermediate—high grade non Hodgkin lymphoma(NHL). Methods:24 cases of recurrent intermediate—high NHL were divided into two groups: 10 cases with poor prognostic factors in group one(G1), 14 cases without poor prognostic factors in group two(G2).All cases were treated with ifosfamide(IFO), mitoxantrone(Mx), pingyangmycine(PYM), prednisone(Pred) (IMPP). IFO 1.5 g/m 2 iv on days 1 to 4, and mesna iv at hours;0, 4, 8 Mx 8 mg/m 2 on day 1; PYM 5mg/m 2 im on days 8 and 15; and Pred 100mg/d po on days 1 to 5. Every 4 weeks as one cycle. Assessment was given after 2 cycles. Results:The total CR rate was 58.3%(14/24), RR 79.2%(19/24). The CR rate was 30%(3/10), RR 60%(6/10) in G1 and the CR rate was 78.5% (11/14), RR 92.8%(13/14) in G2 ,respeetively. The difference of the two groups in CR and RR was significant( P

Non-invasive transcutaneous monitoring(TCM) of oxygen and carbon dioxide,with continuous,non-invasive characteristics,is in common use and significant in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU),which can directly reflect critically ill newborns'changes of respiratory and circulatory function.This review describes how to use TCM appropriately,compares the advantages and disadvantages of TCM with other monitoring devices,introduces its application in neonatal transport and NICU.

In the scientific,systematic,practical and feasible principles,the quality control needs and management needs of health authorities and medical institutions were analyzed.The study probed into the real-time monitoring functions of existing hospital information systems and information products of IT technology firms,and the feasibility of setting up key monitoring points during medical service processes.685 real-time monitoring indicators have been set up for real-time monitoring of medical process quality.

Objective To investigate the T cell clonality in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) . Methods T cell clonality in peripheral blood lymphocytes from six patients with active SLE was analyzed using reverse transcriptase- polymerase chain reaction (RT- PCR) and GeneScan technique. Results T cell receptor (TCR) Vβ PCR products from two patients were derived from polyclonal T cells, however, TCR Vβ9, Vβ2, VβI, Vβ2 pioducts from the other four patients were derived from oligoclonal T cells respectively.ConclusionT cells from patients with SLE demonstrated a striking oligoclnality and their clonal expansion may be a specific response driven by autoantigens.

This study was set up to observe the changes in stress and immune functions in upper abdominal surgery after general anesthesia.In thirty elective upper abdominal operation patients,general anesthesia was induced with propofol,fentanyl,scoline and maintained with isoflane and atrumium. Catecholamines(CA),cortisol,interleukin-2(IL-2) and soluble interleukin-2 receptor(sIL-2R) were measured before anesthesia,after induction of anesthesia,at the end of operation,and on the first and third postoperative days.The results showed that epinephrine(E),norepinephrine(NE) concentration increased at the end of operation and on the first postoperative day(P<0.01)，Cortisol concentration decreased after anesthesia induction(P<0.05)，IL-2 concentration decreased at the end of operation(P<0.05)，and sIL-2R lever did not change.The investigation suggested that general anesthesia with propofol,fentanyl and isoflane can suppress CA and cortisol increase resulting from induction of anesthesia. There was no change in IL-2 level.However it can not suppress the increase of stress hormones and decrease of IL-2 due to operation.The stress response correlate with immune functions.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a general term for heterogeneous disorders affecting kidney structure and function.It can be detected by routine laboratory tests.Acute kidney injury ( AKI),previously referred to as acute renal failure(ARF), represents a persistent problem in clinical medicine.Despite significant improvements in therapeutics,the mortality and morbidity associated with AKI remain high.A major reason for this is the lack of markers for early diagnosis of AKI.In this paper,we discuss recommendations for AKI and CKD laboratory assessment and management,and future challenges.( Chin J Lab Med,2012,35:773-779)

The da Vinci robotic surgical system assisted colorectal radical resection has been widely applied in many countries and regions.The advantages of the da Vinci robotic surgical system include stable and distinct stereoscopic vision,short learning curve,convenient operation and feasibility of remote manipulation,while its disadvantages are expensive cost,lack of tremor and prolonged operation time.The advantage of da Vinci robotic surgical system is not distinct when compared with traditional laparoscope in radical resection of colorectal cancer.With the accumulation of clinical data and the update of the system,the prospect of da Vinci robotic surgical system assisted colorectal radical resection is promising.
