Objective To compare the therapeutic efficacies between conventional acupuncture plus acupoint sticking and conventional acupuncture alone in treating allergic rhinitis.Method Sixty patients were randomized into two groups, 30 cases in the treatment group and 30 cases in the control group. The treatment group was intervened by conventional acupuncture plus acupoint sticking, while the control group was intervened by conventional acupuncture alone. The symptoms grading scores were evaluated before and after the treatment to compare the scores of sneezing, runny nose, stuffy nose and itchy nose of the two groups, and the therapeutic efficacies were compared.Result The total effective rate was 96.7% in the treatment group, significantly higher than 80.0% in the control group (P<0.05);after the intervention, the symptoms scores in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05), indicating that the therapeutic efficacy of the treatment group was superior to that of the control group. Conclusion Conventional acupuncture plus acupoint sticking can effectively improve the symptoms of allergic rhinitis, and its therapeutic efficacy is superior to that of the conventional acupuncture.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of different waveform electroacupuncture in treating convalescence-stage peripheral facial paralysis.Methods Ninety-four patients with convalescence-stage peripheral facial paralysis were randomly allocated: 22 cases to treatment group 1, 25 cases to treatment group 2, 23 cases to treatment group 3 and 24 cases to the control group. The same acupoints were selected in different groups. Treatment group 1 received electroacupuncture with continuous waves; treatment group 2, electroacupuncture with sparse-dense waves, treatment group 3, electroacupuncture with interrupted waves; the control group, simple electroacupuncture. Treatment was given once every other day, five times as a course. The Sunnybrook Facial Grading System score was recorded in every group before and at one and three months after treatment. The clinical therapeutic effects were compared between the groups.Results The total efficacy rate was 86.4% in treatment group 1, 88.0% in treatment group 2, 82.6% in treatment group 3 and 62.5% in the control group. There was a statistically significant difference in the total efficacy rate between each of the treatment groups and the control group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the total efficacy rate between the treatment groups (P>0.05). In each of the treatment groups, there was a statistically significant difference in the Sunnybrook score between before treatment groups and at one or three months after treatment (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the Sunnybrook score at one and three months after treatment between each of the treatment groups and the control group (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the Sunnybrook score at one month after treatment between treatment group 3 and treatment group 1 or 2 (P<0.05).Conclusions Different electroacupuncture treatments all have a marked clinicaleffect on convalescence-stage peripheral facial paralysis. Electroacupuncture with interrupted waves is more effective in restoring facial muscle function in the early stage of convalescence.

Objective:To establish a headspace GC method for the determination of 7 kinds of residual solvents in bicalutamide, including dichloromethane, n-hexane, tetrahydrofuran, ethanol, ether, acetone and ethyl acetate. Methods: The residual solvents in the substance were determined by GC equipped with an FID detector and linked with an Agilent DB-624 capillary column (30. 0 m × 0. 25 mm × 1. 4 m). The inlet temperature was 200℃ and the FID detector temperature was 250℃. The column temperature was raised by program:the initial temperature was 35℃, maintained for 13 min, raised to 180℃ with a rate of 100℃/min, and maintained for 5 min. The carrier gas was nitrogen and the flow rate was 1. 2 ml·min-1. The heated temperature of the headspace oven was 90℃, the heated time lasted 30 min, and the injection volume was 1. 0 ml. The solution medium was dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO). Results:Each solvent could be completely separated, and the calibration curve of each solvent showed good linear relationship with good accuracy. Conclusion:The method can be applied for the determination of residual solvents in bicalutamide.

[Objective] The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of ultrasound findings and different treatments with the prognosis of the pump twin in twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence (TRAP).[Methods] The 55 cases that were diagnosed as TRAP during the period from January 4th 2010 and August 31st 2015 were included.Ultrasound appearances of monochorionic twins were documented in detail when the twins were diagnosed with TRAP initially.At the initial evaluation,presence or absence of the following abnormalities were documented,including the ratio of the acardiac twin to the weight of the pump twin,hydrops fetalis in the pump twin,cardiomegaly in the pump twin,polyhydramnios in the pump twin,oligohydramnios in the acardiac twin and different treatments.The relationship between these ultrasound characteristics and different treatments with mortality of pump twin were analyzed with logistic regression.[Results] A total of 55 cases with TRAP were diagnosed in our institution and three cases were lost to follow up.Selective reduction was performed in 21 cases,termination of pregnancies in 13 and expectant management in 18.Excluding the cases that underwent termination of pregnancy,the remaining 39 cases were divided into two groups according treatment,expectant management group (n=18) and selective reduction group (n=21).Overall survival rate of the pump twin in these two groups was 66.7％ and 71.4％,respectively,P =0.748.The markers of perinatal outcome were not significantly different between expectant management group and selective reduction group.Logistic regression demonstrated that cardiomegaly in the pump twin (OR=21.73,95％CI:1.15 ～ 203.89,P ＜ 0.001) were significant correlated with mortality of the pump twin.[Conclusion] The prognosis markers were not significantly different between conservative management and selective reduction group.Cardiomegaly in the pump twin should be considered as risk predictors for mortality of the pump twin in TRAP.

Objective　To study the effects of hypoxia and glutamic acid on the kinetic properties of NMDA receptor channel of the hypothalamic neurons in rats. Methods　Cell-attached mode patch clamp technique was employed to record the single channel current of the NMDA receptor. Results　The open probability of NMDA receptor channel was increased after acute hypoxia compared with that of normal state, the open time τ1,τ2 was changed from (0.33±0.10)ms，(4.36±0.26)ms to (0.93±0.22)ms，(7.64±0.72)ms, and the close time τ1,τ2 was from (18.03±3.50)ms，(171.50±19.10)ms to (3.42±1.02)ms，(19.39±3.07)ms. The mean open probability was changed from 0.12±0.05 in normal state to 0.66±0.36 in hypoxia state. Furthermore, glutamic acid can increase open time and open probability of NMDA receptor channel,decrease close time. Conclusion　The excitability and the open probability of NMDA receptor channel of hypothalamic neurons increased by hypoxia is related to glutamate.

Objective To evaluate the diagnosis value of CT through analyzing 11 cases with the rare disease-lung carcinosarcoma.Methods 11 cases of lung carcinosarcoma proved by operation and pathology from 1994-2000 were analyzed.Results Lung carcinosarcoma had the characteristics of both lung cancer and sarcoma. The border of the carcinosarcoma was irregular, it had lobulation or spiculation, just like primary lung cancer. When IV contrast medium was used, it had some sarcoma’s characteristics such as lower density in center of mass. Conclusion CT is a good method to show the characteristics of lung carcinosarcoma. It is important to recognize the CT appearances of lung carcinosarcoma in order to improve diagnostic ability.

Aim To establish the adherence of H pylori to MKN45 cell model for screening and evaluating anti-adhesive drugs.Methods H pylori suspension was incubated with FITC solution in different conditions(FITC concentration and incubation time)to optimize the labeling conditions.At the same time,Gram staining was used to determine the optimal adhesion time of H pylori to MKN45 cells.Results H pylori suspension(1?106 cuf?ml-1)incubating with FITC(5 mg?L-1)for 1 h could achieve the optimal effect for FITC-labeling H pylori.Besides,Gram staining indicated that the optimal adhesion time for H pylori to MKN45 cells was 1 h.Based on the model,the crude Aloe polysaccharide was evaluated for its anti-adhesive activity and the results showed it could significantly reduce the adherence of H pylori to MKN45 cells at the concentration of 1 g?L-1(P

Objective To observe the efficacy of stage treatment with acupuncture plus intermediate frequency for Bell's palsy and its effect on serum NO content. Method By adopting a randomized controlled design, eighty eligible patients with Bell's palsy were randomized into a treatment group and a control group. The two groups both received acupuncture treatment in acute stage (within 1 week after the onset); in the remission stage (since 1 week after the onset), electroacupuncture apparatus was added for the control group, and intermediate frequency was given to the treatment group in addition to the intervention for the control group. The House-Brackmann (H-B) facial nerve grading system and serum NO content were observed before and after the treatment. Result The H-B facial nerve grading was improved after the intervention in both groups; the total effective rate was 95.0% in the treatment group, significantly higher than 82.5% in the control group (P<0.05); the serum content of NO was significantly improved after the treatment in both groups (P<0.05), while the increase in the treatment group was more significant than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion In treating Bell's palsy, stage treatment with Acupuncture plus intermediate frequency can effectively restore facial nerve function, significantly enhance clinical efficacy and shorten treatment duration. This disease is closely related to the content of serum NO, and the benign regulation on serum NO content is possibly the mechanism of acupuncture in treating facial paralysis.
