The reasons why some medical treatment facilities (MTF) can not be repaired and returned on time in some medical therapy units are explained. Countermeasures are put forward: repairing and supervising mechanisms must be established between the medical therapy units and factories in time; professional maintainers can be asked to repair MTF or cooperate with technicians in hospital when necessary so as to keep MTF in good condition.

Objective To evaluate the short-term efficacy and safety of etanercept treatment in Chinese patients with active ankylosing spondylitis ( AS ). Methods This was a 12-week multicenter,double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized phase Ⅲ clinical study. The first part was a 6-week placebocontrolled period followed by a 6-week open-label period. The primary efficacy endpoint was the percentage of subjects achieving a 20% improvement in assessment in ankylosing spondylitis (ASAS) ( ASAS 20). The secondary efficacy endpoints were the percentage of patients achieving a 40% improvement in ASAS (ASAS 40), achieving a 50% improvement in ASAS( ASAS 50), achieving a 70% improvement in ASAS (ASAS 70), and ASAS 5/6 responses at all visits, and the improvement in subject global assessment,physician global assessment, nocturnal and total back pain, bath AS functional index ( BASFI ), bath AS disease activity index (BASDAI), spinal mobility, joint assessment and quality of life assessment. All subjects in the study were evaluated for safety. Results The primary endpoint, ASAS 20 at week 6, was achieved by 86. 5% (64/74) patients in the etanercept group compared to 29. 5% (23/78) patients in the placebo group(P <0. 001 ). As early as week 2, the percentages of patients achieving the ASAS 20 between the two groups were significantly different. Furthermore, the majority of secondary efficacy end points were also significantly improved. Most of adverse events (AE) were mild in nature, the commonest adverse events were elevated liver function levels, injection site reactions and nasopharyngitis. No death or serious AE were observed. Conclusion Etanercept can improve symptoms fastly,significantly and safely in Chinese patients with active AS.

Objective:To investigate the effects of moxibustion on the serum metabolism in healthy human body based on the 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) metabolomics technology, and to find the differences in metabolites, as well as to elucidate the effects of moxibustion on healthy human body from the viewpoint of global metabolism. Methods:Sixty subjects of healthy young men from the enrolled students were randomly divided into a moxibustion group and a control group using random number table, with 30 cases in each group. Subjects in the moxibustion group accepted mild moxibustion on the right Zusanli (ST 36), once a day, 15 min for each time, and continuous treatment for 10 d; those in the control group did not receive any intervention. There were 28 cases in the moxibustion group and 23 cases in the control group after interventions. On the 1st day, 5th day and 10th day of the intervention, serum samples were collected from subjects of the two groups, and metabolic spectra were obtained by the1H NMR technology. Results: Before and after the intervention, serum1H NMR of the moxibustion group was significantly different, while the difference was insignificant in the control group. Metabolite changes in the moxibustion group were mainly in low density lipoprotein (LDL)/very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), valine, isoleucine, leucine, lactic acid, glutamine, citric acid, polyunsaturated fatty acids, creatine, glycine, glycerol, glucose, tyrosine, histidine, formic acid, alanine, lysine, acetic acid, and glutamic acid. Conclusion:Moxibustion can cause changes of serum metabolic patterns in healthy human by influencing the concentrations of branched-chain amino acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and other metabolites to strengthen body's metabolisms of amino acids and fatty acid.
