Objective: To analyze and review the clinical efficacy of acupuncture (including electroacupuncture) alone for allergic rhinitis (AR) and to compare its efficacy with antihistamines and Chinese patent medicineBi Yan Kang Tablet. Methods: The search strategy, inclusion and exclusion criteria were made according to the principle of evidence-based medicine. We performed a systematic search on China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Academic Journal Full-text Database (Wanfang), Chongqing VIP Database (CQVIP), Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), PubMed, Excerpta Medica Database (EMBASE), Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of acupuncture for allergic rhinitis between January 1990 and December 2015. The quality was evaluated by Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions Version 5.1, and the meta-analysis was conducted by RevMan 5.3 version. Results: Twenty eligible RCTs were included into the meta-analysis after selection. Compared with antihistamines, the meta-analysis showed RR=1.24>1, 95%CI[1.15, 1.33],P<0.00001, indicating that acupuncture achieved a better total effective rate for AR than antihistamines; MD=–0.93<0, 95%CI[–1.22, –0.63],P<0.00001, indicating that acupuncture is better than antihistamines in decreasing the total nasal symptom score (TNSS) in AR patients; and MD=1.46>0, 95%CI[–10.84, 13.75],P=0.82, indicating that there was no statistical difference between acupuncture and antihistamines in regulating immunoglobulin E (IgE) in AR patients. Compared withBi Yan Kang Tablet, the meta-analysis has shown RR=1.50>1, 95%CI[1.30, 1.73],P<0.00001, indicating that acupuncture achieved a better total effective rate for AR than Chinese patent medicineBi Yan KangTablet. Conclusion: Acupuncture alone can achieve a better total effective rate for AR than antihistamines andBi Yan Kang Tablet. It is also better than antihistamines in improving clinical symptom scores; however, whether acupuncture is better thanBi Yan KangTablet needs further proof. As far as current data are concerned, there was no statistical difference between acupuncture and antihistamines in improving serum IgE; further study is needed in this regard. The risk of bias due to absent randomization methods or blinding implementation decreased the evidence level of the overall conclusion.

Objective To observe the clinical significance of serum pancreatic stone protein/regenerating protein (PSP/reg) in neonatal bacterial infectious diseases.Methods 92 cases of newborns with bacterial infection in our hospital from June 2016 to May 2017 were enrolled in the study.They were divided into severe infection group (36 cases) and mild infection group (56 cases) according to the severity of the infection.At the same period 58 newborns without infectious diseases in our hospital were also chosen as control group.The serum levels of PSP/reg,procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were quantitatively measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results The serum levels of PSP/reg,PCT and CRP in severe infection group were significantly higher than those in mild infection group (P ＜0.01) and control group (P ＜ 0.01),while the levels of PSP/reg,PCT and CRP in mild infection group were significantly higher than those in control group (P ＜ 0.01).The levels of PSP/reg 3 day after treatment in both severe and mild infection group were significantly lower than those before treatment (P ＜0.01),while the level of PSP/reg in severe infection group was higher than that in another group.After treatment,the levels of PSP/reg,PCT and CRP in the two infection groups were significantly decreased (P ＜0.01),and there was no significant difference between the two groups after healing (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The level of PSP/reg is correlated with the severity of neonatal bacterial infectious disease.The change of serum PSP/reg level may be useful in the evaluation of therapy in neonatal bacterial infection.

Objective:To observethe influence of electroacupuncture (EA) on histomorphologies of lacrimal glands, cornea and conjunctiva in experimental dry eye syndrome, and to explore the repair effects of EA on lacrimal glands and ocular surface damage. Methods:Twenty-four healthy male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into a normal group, a model group, an EA group and a medication group, 6 rabbits in each group. Experimental dry eye syndrome models were prepared in rabbits by using 0.1% benzalkonium chloride for eye drops. Tear secretion volume, break-up time of tear film (BUT) and corneal fluorescein staining score were observed before and after the treatment. Periodic acid Schiff (PAS) staining method was used to observe the changes of conjunctival goblet cells in rabbits. After hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining, morphological changes of rabbit cornea, conjunctiva and lacrimal gland tissues were observed under light microscope. Results: Compared with the normal group, tear secretion volume and BUT were significantly reduced (bothP<0.01), while the corneal fluorescein staining score was significantly increased (P<0.01) in the model group. Compared with the model group, tear secretion volume and BUT were significantly increased, while the corneal fluorescein staining score was significantly decreased in the EA group and the medication group (allP<0.01). Compared with the normal group, the number of conjunctival goblet cells in the model group was significantly reduced; compared with the model group, the numbers of conjunctival goblet cells were all relatively higher in the EA group and the medication group. Pathological lesions of cornea, conjunctiva and lacrimal glands all showed improvement by HE staining in the EA group and the medication group after the intervention. Conclusion:EA can improve tear secretion and tear film stability of rabbit dry eye syndrome, and repair the pathologic lesions of conjunctival goblet cells, corneal epithelia, cornea, conjunctiva and lacrimal glands.

Objective To investigate the effect of optimizing rescue time for patients with acute st-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the hospital. Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 133 patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction who were hospitalized in the first affiliated hospital of university of science and technology of china during July,2016 to June,2017 was performed. Timeline in the rescue, the result of coronary reperfusion and satisfaction degree of patients were analyzed. Results The rapid evaluation time (F=2.609, P=0.046),emergency handling time(F=7.581, P=0.032), login and logout time (F=5.667, P=0.017)and visit-ballon time (F=8.942, P=0.007) were shortened quarter by quarter . The average time of each project in the four quarters showed a statistically significant difference. The difference of TIMI classification of coronary flow reperfusion among the four quarters was statistically significant (H=8.402, P=0.038). The satisfaction degree of each quarter showed a statistically significant difference (the third quarter of 2016:94.68±2.38, the fourth quarter of 2016:96.72± 5.10, the first quarter of 2017:97.23 ± 7.64,the second quarter of 2017:98.36 ± 4.86;F=7.891,P=0.048). Conclusions Enhancing timeliness of emergency care can remarkably shorten rescue time, improve satisfaction degree of patients and help to improve the success rate of emergency treatment for patients with STEMI.

Objective To investigate the changes of corneal biomechanics of intrastromal correction (INTRACOR) femtosecond technique to treat presbyopia.Methods A prospective,clinical self-control clinical trial was designed.Twenty-four presbyopic patients with emmetropia or mild hyperopia were enrolled in this study.The INTRACOR procedure was performed using the Technolas femtosecond laser in the nondominant eye.Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA),uncorrected near visual acuity (UCNVA) and spherical equivalent (SE) were recorded in preoperation and postoperative 12 months,and the quality of life of postoperative patients was evaluated.The corneal deformation parameters including highest concavity deformation amplitude (HC-DA),highest concavity peak distance (HC-PD),highest concavity radius (HC-R),non-contact intraocular pressure and the central corneal thickness (CCT) were measured using the Corvis ST visualization biomechanical analyzer in preoperation and postoperative 1 month,3,6 and 12 months,respectively.This study followed the Declaration of Helsinki.Written informed consent was obtained from each subject prior to entering study cohort.This study protocol was approved by Ethic Committee of Affiliated Eye Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (No.SDZYYDXYKYYLL2011.06).Results Compared with preoperation,UCNVA of all 24 (100％) eyes was improved at 12 months postoperatively with minimal or no change in UCDVA.The mean spherical equivalent was (+0.35± 0.29)D and (-0.37 ± 0.29)D before and 12 months after operation,with a significant difference beteeen them (t=-7.39,P＜0.01).No significant differences were seen in the intraocular pressure,CCT and HC-PD values between preoperation and postoperative 1 month,3,6,12 months (F =1.273,1.347,2.434;all at P ＞ 0.05).Compared with preoperation,the postoperative 1 month,3,6,12 months HC-R values were significantly declined,HC-DA values were significantly increased,with significant differences between them (all at P＜0.05),and no significant differences were found in HC-R and HC-DA between the postoperative adjacent time points (all at P＞0.05).Corneal aspherical index (Q Value) was-0.28±t0.10 at 12 months postoperatively,which was increased compared with the preoperation,and the maximum value added value (diff-K) of the central corneal curvature was (2.55±0.81)D.Conclusions INTRACOR treatment of presbyopia can effectively improve near vision,increase postoperative corneal biomechanical maximum HC-R and HC-DA,negatively increase the corneal central curvature increased aspheric index,which suggests that corneal biomechanics of central cornea is weakened after intrastromal femtosecond presbyopic treatment,and the hyperprolate mutifocal corneal shape is formed under normal intraocular pressure.

Objective To systematically evaluate the rehabilitation experience of patients after total knee arthroplasty,and to provide references for improving the effect of rehabilitation treatment and formulating related clinical nursing strategies.Methods We searched PubMed,Web of Science,the Cochrane Library,Embase,CINAHL,Scopus,ProQuest,CNKI,Wanfang database,VIP database and Chinese biomedical literature database.A qualitative study on the experiences,feelings,and needs of patients undergoing rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty was retrieved from the database until April 2023.The quality of literature was evaluated using the Quality Evaluation Criteria of Evidence-Based Health Care Center(2016)of Joanna Briggs Institute in Australia,and the results were summarized and integrated by the aggregation integration method.Results A total of 25 studies were included;82 topics were summarized into 12 categories;4 integrated results were finally formed:rehabilitation treatment was faced with multiple difficulties,and patients lost confidence and needed professional guidance and supervision;unsatisfactory experience in rehabilitation;the perception of the benefits of rehabilitation therapy and the encouragement of medical staff,and firm faith in rehabilitation;seeking understanding and social support can promote the effect of rehabilitation therapy.Conclusion Healthcare professionals should pay attention to and reflect on the challenges and unsatisfactory experiences that patients may face during rehabilitation,and provide them with professional guidance and supervision,as well as personalized rehabilitation treatment.

Objective:To investigate the association between congenital hypothyroidism (CH) and the adverse outcomes during hospitalization in very low birth weight infants (VLBWI).Methods:This prospective, multicenter observational cohort study was conducted based on the data from the Sino-northern Neonatal Network (SNN). Data of 5 818 VLBWI with birth weight <1 500 g and gestational age between 24-<37 weeks that were admitted to the 37 neonatal intensive care units from January 1 st, 2019 to December 31 st, 2022 were collected and analyzed. Thyroid function was first screened at 7 to 10 days after birth, followed by weekly tests within the first 4 weeks, and retested at 36 weeks of corrected gestational age or before discharge. The VLBWI were assigned to the CH group or non-CH group. Chi-square test, Fisher exact probability method, Wilcoxon rank sum test, univariate and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the relationship between CH and poor prognosis during hospitalization in VLBWI. Results:A total of 5 818 eligible VLBWI were enrolled, with 2 982 (51.3%) males and the gestational age of 30 (29, 31) weeks. The incidence of CH was 5.5% (319 VLBWI). Among the CH group, only 121 VLBWI (37.9%) were diagnosed at the first screening. Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that CH was associated with increased incidence of extrauterine growth retardation (EUGR) ( OR=1.31(1.04-1.64), P<0.05) and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) of stage Ⅲ and above ( OR=1.74(1.11-2.75), P<0.05). However, multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed no significant correlation between CH and EUGR, moderate to severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia, grade Ⅲ to Ⅳ intraventricular hemorrhage, neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis in stage Ⅱ or above, and ROP in stage Ⅲ or above ( OR=1.04 (0.81-1.33), 0.79 (0.54-1.15), 1.15 (0.58-2.26), 1.43 (0.81-2.53), 1.12 (0.70-1.80), all P>0.05). Conclusion:There is no significant correlation between CH and in-hospital adverse outcomes, possibly due to timely diagnosis and active replacement therapy.
