Objective To observe the effect of catgut implantation at acupoint on treating cerebrovascular epilepsy and discuss the therapeutic mechanism. Methods 58 patients were divided into an observation group and a control group. The control group was treated with sodium valproate, and the observation group was treated with catgut implantation at acupoint on the basis of the control group.Epilepsy scoring, sodium valproate adverse reactions, the change of blood concentrations of sodium valproate and curative effect evaluation and so on were observed before and after the treatment. Results The basic control and excellent rate in the observation group were 16.7%and 73.3%, better than the control group of 10.7%and 53.6% respectively. The epilepsy scoring and sodium valproate adverse reactions after treatment in the observation group were superior to the control group [observation group is(5.05±1.5),(5.09±1.53),control group is(6.40±1.74),(10.85±1.91),P<0.05]. The number of patients with blood concentrations of sodium valproate in range 50-100 mg/L after treatment was increased in the observation group(Z=2.07, P=0.038). Conclusion Catgut implantation at acupoint combined sodium valproate was more effective than sodium valproate in treating cerebrovascular epilepsy, which can obviously alleviate the adverse reaction of drugs and increase blood concentrations of sodium valproate.

The enantiomeric resolution of lactic acid was studied by reversed high performance liquid chromatography. β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), dimethyl (DM) and TM-β-CD were used as chiral mobile phase additives. The effects of different mobile phase, pH and concentration of chiral mobile phase additives on resolution of D,L-lactic acid were investigated. The results showed: the enantioselectivity of TM-β-CD was better than those of β-CD and DM-β-CD. D,L-lactic acid could be partly separated by DM-β-CD 　and could not be separated by β-CD, while it could be fully separated by TM-β-CD. As the concentration of TM-β-CD changed from 0.20　mmol/L to 1.00　mmol/L, The resolution varied slightly. The experiment of the effect of pH of mobile phase on Rs showed: as pH changed from 2.4 to 3.0, the Rs remain stable, and when pH＞3.1, the Rs decreased with the increase of pH. The RSD of retention time of L-lactic acid and D-lactic acid were 0.2% and 0.2%, respectively. The chromatographic systems with a dynamically-generated stationary phase with 2,3,6-tri-O-methyl-β-cyclodextrin proved to be an effective method for lactic acid enantiomer separation

0.05).Maxillary incisors were easily to be affected,especially the maxillary central incisor.Crown fracture was the most common traumatic type.The combination of dental trauma and oral and maxillofacial soft tissue injury was experienced by 692 patients(71.0%).Conclusion: Dental trauma was one of the common diseases in oral emergencies.Knowledge of the etiological and clinical characteristics of emergency dental trauma could help us to treat them and make specific preventive measures.Clinical examination should be comprehensive and meticulous to avoid misdiagnosis,for emergency dental trauma often involving multiple teeth,and associated with different degrees of maxillofacial soft tissue injury.

Objective To explore the relationship between phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammals target protein rapamycin (mTOR) signal transduction pathway and Barrett esophagus genesis.Methods A total of 140 rats were divided into sham operated group (n=10),iron group (n =10),esophageal duodenal side anastomosis group (n =30),esophageal duodenal side anastomosis plus iron group (n-30),esophageal gastric duodenal side anastomosis group (n=30) and esophageal gastric duodenal anastomosis plus iron group (n=30).In the end,10 normal esophagus tissue specimens,62 reflux esophagitis tissue specimens and 34 Barrett's esophagus tissue specimens were obtained.The expression levels of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR),Akt,phospho Akt (p-Akt),phospho-mTOR (p-mTOR) protein were detected by immunohistochemistry.Single factor analysis of variance,SNK between two groups and nonparametric correlation analysis were performed for statistical analysis.Results The protein expression levels of EGFR,Akt,p-Akt,p-mTOR in Barret(s esophagus tissues were higher than those in reflux esophagitis tissues and normal esophagus tissues (EGFR 0.1799±0.0367 vs 0.0438±0.0025 and 0.0277±0.0069,q=6.79,4.13; Akt 0.1874±0.0250 vs 0.0986±0.0093 and 0.0383±0.0048,q=6.51,3.56; p-Akt 0.1418±0.0130 vs 0.0592±0.0027 and 0.0281 ±0.0017,q=7.68,3.99; p-mTOR 0.1591±0.0275 vs 0.0674 ±0.0059 and 0.0112±0.0017,q=5.62,4.11; all P＜0.05).The protein expression levels of EGFR,Akt,p-Akt,and p-mTORin reflux esophagitis tissues were higher than those in normal esophagus tissues(q=4.67,4.29,4.27,4.03; all P＜0.05).Conclusion PI3K/Akt/mTOR signal transduction pathway were activated in reflux esophagitis and Barrett's esophagus,which provided theoretical basis for clinical multi-target treatment for diseases.

Objective To explore the impact of the systematic social skills training on recovery of chronic schizophrenia patients with negative symptom and social skills defects.Methods A total of 82 cases of long -term hospitalized patients with chronic schizophrenia were randomly divided into intervention group and control group by digital table,41 cases in each group.The two groups received psychiatric routine therapy and nursing,and general entertainment therapy,and systemic social skills training was conducted in the intervention group for 12 weeks.PANSS and SSC were respectively used to evaluate the two groups before and after the intervention.Results After 12 weeks of systematic social skills training,the total score of SSC[(24.5 ±4.5)points]in the intervention group was apparently lower than that in the control group[(29.2 ±5.2)points],and the difference was statistically significant(t =3.212, P <0.01).Compared with the control group[(20.5 ±4.3)points,(27.2 ±4.2)points,(59.1 ±9.5)points],in the intervention group the score of negative symptom mental pathology and total score of PANSS were (14.9 ± 3.7)points,(24.5 ±3.5)points,(52.8 ±7.1)points.The differences of total score between the two groups were sta-tistically significant(t =5.199,3.317,3.239,all P <0.01),while the positive symptoms score was not statistically significant(P >0.05).Compared with before intervention,in the negative symptom table,the differences of total score N2,N3,N4,N6 had statistically significant differences(t =4.533,5.413,4.501,4.668,all P <0.01).Conclusion The systematic social skills training can greatly promote chronic schizophrenia patients with negative symptom and social skills defects,improve their social skills and life qualities.

Objective To observe the influence of low or middle power microwave radiation on tissues adja-cent to titanium alloy implants. Methods Titanium alloy internal fixation plates were implanted into the upper femur of the right side of New Zealand white rabbits, the left femurs served as the control. Then the femurs were exposed to 20, 40, 60, or 80 W of microwave radiation at a frequency of 2450 MHz for 30 minutes, and real-time temperature of the implants and its adjacent muscles were recorded. The nerve conduction study of the sciatic nerve was performed by stimulating the nerve and recording from gastrocnemius in both groups. Finally, all the rabbits were sacrificed and histo-logical studies were performed on nerve and muscle sections. Results Compared to the control limbs, temperatures of limbs with titanium alloy implants increased significantly when exposed to microwave radiation at 60 and 80 W ( P<0.05) but no significant differences were revealed when exposed to radiation at 20 and 40 W ( P<0.05) . For the sciatic nerve conduction, significantly prolonged distal latency of CMAP ( P<0.05) and slower nerve conduction velocity ( P<0.05) were observed in the experimental limbs when exposed to microwave radiation at 60 and 80 W, but the decrease of CMAP amplitude was not significant (P>0.05). Pathological examination showed obvious congestion and bleeding in the intercellular spaces of skeletal muscle cells in the experiment group when exposed to radiation at 60 W, with no ob-vious pathological changes found in the sciatic nerve. However, when exposed to radiation at 80 W, vacuoles appeared in myocytes, the cellular structure was destroyed and the myelin sheath of the sciatic nerve swelled. Conclusion Ex-posure to microwave irradiation at 20 and 40 W, but not 60 and 80 W exerts no adverse effects on nerves and muscles adjacent to titanium alloy internal fixation plates. Consequently, continuous wave microwave irradiation at low powers (20~40 W) is a safer auxiliary treatment for limbs with titanium alloy implants.

Objective To investigate the effect of pre- hospital emergency care programs in children with febrile seizures,in order to reduce damage by febrile seizures and obtain the best firstaid effect. Methods 112 cases of children with febrile seizures were treated in pediatric department of our hospital from April 2009 to February 2011.The parents of 75 children patients were given guidance of prehospital emergency care,they were set as the pre-hospital emergency care group.The other 37 cases were set as the non-pre-hospital emergency care group,routine emergency care was given until the medical personnel arrived at the spot.The conditions of aspiration,tongue bite injury,another episode of febrile seizures and brain damage were recorded in two groups of children. Results Only one case of aspiration and three cases of febrile seizures occurred in the pre-hospital emergency care group by misoperation of parents.Non brain damage and tongue bite injury occurred.The incidence rate of improper consequences was 5.3％in the pre-hospital emergency care group,lower than that of the non-pre-hospital emergency care group,51.4％. Conclusions To give pre-hospital emergency care guidance to parents of children patients by mobile phones before the health care workers reach the spot can significantly reduce accidental injury of children,stabilize the emotion of parents,decrease the impact of seizures on children,all the above has a positive effect on follow-up treatment.

Objective To investigate the relationship between cardiovascular risk factors and arterial elasticity in elderly hypertensive patients.Methods 253 subjects were divided into two groups:hypertension group (n=141) and non-hypertension group (n =112).Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (C-FPWV),carotid-radial PWV (C-RPWV),height and weight were determined.Fasting plasma levels of blood glucose (BG),blood lipids,insulin,endothelins (ET),nitric oxide (NO) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) were assessed.Results C-FPWV and CRPWV were higher in hypertension group than in non-hypertension group [(11.7±1.9) m/s vs.(9.7±1.1)m/s,(11.7±1.7) m/s vs.(9.4±1.1)m/s,t=8.43 and-6.30,both P＜0.01].Body mass index (BMI),systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP),levels of triglyceride (TG),BG,ET,NO and hsCRP,HOMA-IR had significant differences between the two groups (t=-5.27,-4.18,-6.00,6.29,-4.18,-4.86,-3.41,respectively,all P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that CFPWV was correlated with SBP,age,DBP,fasting BG,NO,ET,TG,HOMA IR,cholesterol (CHO),hsCRP (r=0.534,0.374,0.340,0.338,-0.306,0.242,0.228,0.225,-0.218,0.178,respectively,all P＜0.05); C-RPWV was correlated with age,DBP,SBP,NO,TG (r=0.312,0.319,0.241,-0.197,0.151,respectively,all P＜0.05).Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that C-FPWV=4.640 + 0.081× HOMA IR+ 0.047× age+0.035×SBP+0.29×TG-0.017×NO+0.014×ET+0.132×hsCRP,r2=0.514; CRPWV=3.161+0.034×age+0.033×DBP+0.313×fastingBG+0.013×ET-0.013×NO,r2=0.390.Conclusions The decreases of arterial elasticity are closely related with endothelial function,insulin resistance,levels of blood lipids and hsCRP in elderly patients with hypertension.
