Objective:To explore effects of early rehabilitation nursing on aged patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) complicated myocardial infarction (MI) .Methods :A total of 280 aged DM + MI patients in our hospital were se‐lected .According to random number table ,they were randomly divided into routine nursing group (n=140) and early rehabilitation nursing group (n=140) ,and nursing effects were compared between two groups .Results:Com‐pared with before nursing ,there were significant reductions in levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG) ,2h postprandi‐al blood glucose (2hPBG) and glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) after nursing in both groups , P< 0.05 all;compared with routine nursing group ,there were significant reductions in levels of FBG [ (7.9 ± 1.1) mmol/L vs . (6.8 ± 1.0) mmol/L] ,2hPBG [(9.9 ± 1.4) mmol/L vs .(8.7 ± 1.1) mmol/L] and HbA1c [(7.9 ± 0.7)% vs .(6.9 ± 0.8)% ] ,and significant rise in all item scores of quality of life and total satisfaction (85.0% vs .93.6% ) in early rehabilitation group , P< 0.05 all .Compared with routine nursing group ,there was significant reduction in inci‐dence rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (20.0% vs .9.3% ) within six-month follow-up in early rehabil‐itation nursing group , P<0.05. Conclusion:Early rehabilitation nursing could significantly reduce blood glucose lev‐el ,improve quality of life and satisfaction for nursing in aged DM + MI patients ,which is worth further extension .

Objective To investigate the impact of umbilical cord around the neck(UCAN) on infants developmental quotient. Methods Intelligence of 60 infants of UCAN under 3 years old were tested by Gesell. Results DQ of UCAN infants was significantly less than normal infants,mainly mild to moderate retardation. DQ between the male and female infants had no significant difference, parents' cognitive level had significant difference with real DQ of infants. Conclusions UCAN has certain influence on mental development of infants,we should strengthen health education,pay close attention to UCAN infants,give regular intelligence surveillance, find early growth retardation,give rehabilitation training to reduce the incidence of intellectual disabilities.

This study was aimed to make a systematic and comprehensive evaluation on clinical efficacy and safety of vertigo treatment with Tian-Ma Gou-Teng (TMGT) Decoction. Articles had been searched in the Chinese Journal Full-text Database, Chongqing VIP Chinese Scientific Journals Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Biomedical Literature Database Online, Wanfang Data and Chinese Medicine Journal Literature Database for randomized controlled trials (RCT) on vertigo treatment with TMGT Decoction. The data retrieval time was from the establishment time of the database until present. Two investigators screened literatures, extracted data and assessed quality according to inclusion and exclusion criteria independently. RevMan5.0.2 was used in the meta-analysis. The results showed that a total of 33 trials were involved, which covered 2922 vertigo cases. The meta-analysis showed that from the aspect of clinical effectiveness, the comparison between Chinese medicine treatment group and modern medicine treatment group (OR = 3.67, 95% CI [2.66~5.07]), comparison between integrative medicine treatment group and modern medicine treatment group (OR = 3.28, 95% CI [2.33~4.62]), the comparison between Chinese medicine combined with other method (such as acupuncture, Tuina) treatment group and other Chinese medicine treatment group (OR = 2.29, 95% CI [1.34~3.91]), therapeutic effect in the experimental group was better than the control group. For the aspect of relapse rate, TMGT Decoction in the treatment of vertigo was better than the control group (OR = 0.27, 95% CI [0.12~0.65]). In the aspect of adverse reactions, TMGT Decoction in the treatment of vertigo was better than the control group (OR = 0.40, 95% CI [0.13~1.24]). For aspects of other indicators such as quality of life, no further analysis was conducted since there was no complete reported literature. It was concluded that the system evaluation results showed that compared with other methods, TMGT Decoction has better clinical efficacy and low recurrence rate, but safety needs to be further eualuated. However, due to the quality of included studies was not high, current evidences cannot be determined to be fully applicable in the clinical practice. But its efficacy advantages are worthy of further research. It especially requires high quality multi-center, large sample, double-blind, RCTs to verify.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of pricking anti-Ashi points with fire needles in treating acute lumbar sprain.Method Seventy-six patients with acute lumbar sprain were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 38 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by pricking anti-Ashi points with fire needles, while the control group was by warm needling. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Roland-Morris Dysfunction Questionnaire (RMDQ) were adopted to evaluate lumbar pain and dysfunction after 1-day and 5-day treatment, and the clinical efficacies were compared between the two groups.Result Respectively after the first treatment session and 5 treatment sessions, the VAS and RMDQ scores were significantly changed in both groups (P<0.01). Respectively after the first treatment session and 5 treatment sessions, the VAS and RMDQ scores in the treatment group were significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate and recovery rate were respectively 94.7% and 63.2% in the treatment group, versus 86.8% and 42.1% in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.01).Conclusion Pricking anti-Ashi points with fire needles is an effective method in treating acute lumbar sprain, and it can produce a significant real-time analgesic effect.

Objective To observe the changes of tongue and pulse parameters in the patients with chronic hepatitis B(CHB)after pegylated interferon alpha-2a(PEG-IFNα-2a)treatment,to investigate its value in evaluation clinical efficacy of PEG-IFNα-2a treatment.Methods 120 patients with CHB who confirmed to the standard received PEG-IFNα-2a antiviral therapy for 48 weeks,and followed up for 24 weeks.The tongue and pulse parameters were detected by DS01-A type digital tongue and pulse presentation analyzer.The changes of liver function,serum HBV markers,HBV DNA,tongue and pulse parameters were observed before and after treatment.Results 113 patients completed the course of treatment,46 cases received complete response(response rate 40.7%).The response rate of liver stagnation and spleen deficiency group was higher than that of blood stasis group(95%CI:0.010-0.677,P <0.05).The baseline of tongue and pulse parameters had no significant difference between response group and non response group(h3 /h1,t =1.799,P =0.074;h4 /h1,t =1.383,P =0.169;h5 /h1,t′=0.461,P >0.05;W/t,t′=0.688,P >0.05;R,t =1.317,P =0.190;G,t =0.346,P =0.729;B,t =1.720,P =0.088).After 48 weeks treat-ment,and followed up for 24 weeks,the tongue and pulse parameters of response group and non response group were compared with baseline,h3 /h1,h4 /h1 decreased,R value and G value increased,the differences were statistically sig-nificant(Response group:h3 /h1,t =3.004,P =0.003;h4 /h1,t =2.702,P =0.008;R,t′=2.258,P <0.05;G,t′=3.052,P <0.05.Non response group:h3 /h1,t =1.978,P =0.049;h4 /h1,t =2.487,P =0.014;R,t′=2.661,P <0.05;G,t′=2.318,P <0.05).But there were no significant differences between the response group and no response group after treatment(h3 /h1,t′=0.191,P >0.05;h4 /h1,t =0.390,P =0.697 2;h5 /h1,t′=0.957,P >0.05;W/t,t =0.149,P =0.881;R,t =1.343,P =0.181;G,t =0.994,P =0.322;B,t =0.565,P =0.572).Conclusion The changes of tongue and pulse parameters have improved after treatment with PEG-IFNαin patients with CHB. However,the value in predicting the efficacy of antiviral therapy may be limited.

ObjectiveTo study the expression of Twist in invasive ductal carcinoma of breast and its relationship with cell proliferation and angiogenesis.MethodsThe expression of Twist and Ki-67 was detected in 60 cases with invasive ductal carcinoma of breast by immunohistochemistry.Ki-67 index and microvascular density(MVD) were calculated.ResultsThe positive expression rate of Twist was 56.7% (34/60) in invasive ductal carcinoma of breast.Ki-67 index and MVD in the patients with positive expression of Twist was higher than those in the patients with negative expression of Twist[(57.05 ± 16.37)% vs.(25.32 ± 16.16)%,(34.30 ± 12.25)% vs.(23.04 ± 10.45)%,P< 0.05 ].ConclusionsThe overexpression of Twist is found in invasive ductal carcinoma of breast.To stimulate cell proliferation and angiogenesis may be one of the pathways of Twist to contribute to the invasion and metastasis of breast cancer.
