Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of pressing-kneading manipulation combined with herb-insulated moxibustion at Shuidao(ST28)for postpartum urinary retention after labor analgesia and its effect on bladder urination function. Methods:A total of 154 patients with postpartum urinary retention after labor analgesia were randomly divided into a Western medication group and a herb-insulated moxibustion group,with 77 cases in each group.In the Western medication group,neostigmine sulfate was injected into Zusanli(ST36).In the herb-insulated moxibustion group,after pressing-kneading manipulation at Shuidao(ST28),herb-insulated moxibustion was applied to Shuidao(ST28)with self-made Tong Quan San.Both groups were treated once,and the clinical efficacy was evaluated 5 h after treatment.The first urination time,first urination volume,average urinary flow rate,bladder residual urine volume,hospitalization days,and costs were recorded. Results:The total effective rate and markedly effective rate of the herb-insulated moxibustion group were higher than those of the Western medication group(P<0.05),the time to the first urination and residual urine volume in the bladder of the herb-insulated moxibustion group were shorter or smaller than those of the Western medication group(P<0.01),the first urination volume and average urine flow rate of the herb-insulated moxibustion group were larger than those of the Western medication group(P<0.01).There were no significant differences in the hospitalization days and costs between the two groups(P>0.05). Conclusion:Pressing-kneading manipulation combined with herb-insulated moxibustion at Shuidao(ST28)can effectively treat postpartum urinary retention after labor analgesia and improve bladder urination function.

Objective To provide basis for the diagnosis,treatment,prevention and control of pertussis by analyzing serological test findings and clinical features of inpatients.Methods Serological test findings (including outpatients and inpatients) of suspected cases and medical records diagnosed as pertussis (severe group and non-severe group) were analyzed in Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University from January 1,2012 to December 31,2014.This retrospective study was conducted to explore the epidemiological characteristics,clinical manifestations,image manifestations of pertussis in recent years.Results The incidence of pertussis was obviously higher in 2014 than the previous 2 years,nearly 10 times than that of 2013;summer and autumn were high-occurrence seasons;pertussis was found predominately in children under 6 years old,as 68％-80％,and the majority of them were 3 months-1 year old and 4-6 years old,and there was a notable increase in children more than 6 years old in 2014;the clinical manifestations tended to be atypical,primarily spasmodic cough (79.01％,64/81 cases),cyanosis (60.49 ％,49/81 cases),vomiting after cough (35.80％,30/81 cases),conjunctiva haemorrhage (22.22 ％,18/81 cases) apnea or heart rate decrease(9.88％,8/81 cases),and whooping cough (7.41％,6/81 cases).There were significant differences(all P ＜ 0.05) in age (t =2.940),paroxysmal cyanosis (x2 =4.505),elevated white blood cell count (x2 =4.410),and lymphocyte percentage increase(x2 =7.830) between severe group and non-severe group.There was no statistical difference in sex(x2 =0.847),season (x2 =0.178),spasmodic cough (x2 =0.097),whooping cough (x2 =0.002),conjunctiva hemorrhage (x2 =0.395),apnea (x2 =0.395) and fever (x2 =0.301) between the 2 groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Mixed infection with mycoplasma was most common.Imaging manifestations of pertussis were not specific,and they might manifest uneven density,patchy inflammatory infiltrates and atelectasis.Conclusions The morbidity of pertussis is rising and atypical cases is increasing in these years,and severe cases are seen most frequently in small infants,it is necessary to perfect the laboratory test methods and immunization strategy.

Objective To study the effects of planting soil on active ingredients in different organs of Lonicera japonica Thunb.. Methods The contents of active ingredients in Lonicera japonica Thunb. from different origins, different varieties and different organs, such as chlorogenic acid, luteoloside, total flavonoids, total phenolic acid, and soil nutrient and inorganic elements, were detected. The data were analyzed by using SPSS 19.0 software. Results Lonicera japonica Thunb. from Pinyi area in Shandong Province had the highest content of active ingredients. In terms of content of active ingredients, PY-HBRD-1 was the most suitable variety in the Pingyi area. Analysis on the correlation between planting soil and active ingredients showed that the contents of K, Mn and other elements could be used as the index for quality control of Lonicera japonica Thunb..

Objective To investigate the electrocardiographic characteristics and assess the efficiency of ra-diofrequency catheter ablation(RFCA) in ventricular arrhythmia arising from the aortic sinus of Valsalva. Methods Eighteen patients(6 males and 12 females)were selected to undergo RFCA for ventficular arrhythmia originating from the left aortic sinus of Valsava. All of them were symptomatic,but without evidence of structural heart disease. Activation mapping was performed in the endocardium of the aortic sinus of Valsalva,then ablation was performed at the site with the earliest ventricular wave in endocardium electrograms. At the same time, coronary and aortic angiog-raphy were performed to assess the anatomic relationship between the ventricular tachycardia (VT)/ventricular pre-mature contraction (VPC) origin and coronary arteries and aortic valve before the RF energy delivery. Results Eighteen patients were successfully managed, with no major complications related to the procedure. VT eliminated and VPC counts on 24-hour ECG monitoring decreased significantly after the ablation[18 474(12 399,26 812)/24h vs 4 (1,7)/24 h, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, P<0.05]. During a follow-up period of 6 monthes, there was no recur-rence. Conclusions Ventricular arrhythmia arising from the aortic sinus of Valsalva has specific electrocardiograph-ic characteristics, and it can be successfully and safely treated under the guidance of activation mapping.

Objective To evaluate the effects of pacing in right ventricular septum (RVS) on hemodynamics among atrioventricular sequential dual chamber pacing Methods Twenty patients with high grade or complete atrioventricular block received permanent dual chamber pacemaker ( DDD ),were randomized into right ventricular septum pacing group (RVS)and right ventricular apex pacing group (RVA)according to the ventricular leads position.The QRS duration of the ECG,the left ventricular ejection (LVEF),the interventricular mechanical delay( IVMD )and the plasma levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)were compared before and after operations.Results Compared with the preoperation,the mean QRS duration ( ( 187.00 ± 15.67 ) ms and (94.00 ±9.17 ) ms),the IV MD ( (43.20 ± 6.79 ) ms and ( 15.00 ± 4.08 ) ms ),the level of BNP ( ( 89.70 ± 8.30) ng/L and (40.00 ± 4.73 ) ng/L) increased( P ＜ 0.05 ) and LVEF decreased significantly ( (53.70 ± 1.34) % and (58.60 ±1.65 )% ,P ＜ 0.05 ) in RVA group,but didn't change in RVS group (P ＞ 0.05 ).After three months following up,the mean QRS duration and the IVMD in RVS group( (119.00 ±7.38 )ms,(19.00 ±4.59)ms) were shorter than that of RVA group( ( 187.00 ± 15.67) ms,(43.20 ± 6.79) ms) ( P ＜ 0.05 ),the LVEF was higher and the plasma level of BNP was lower than that of RVA group ( (57.00 ± 2.00) % and ( 53.70 ± 1.34) %,(44.20 ± 9.18 ) ng/Land ( 89.70 ±8.30) ng/L,P ＜0.05).Conclusions The RVS pacing could keep the normal ventricular activation sequence and biventricular contraction synchrony farthest without side effects on hemodynamics in comparison with the RVA pacing.The RVS pacing is more approaching physiological rhythm than the RVA pacing.
