Objective To observe the effect of moxibustion on Sanyinjiao, Hegu acupoint first active phase of labor contractions pain.Methods One hundred and sixty cases of primipara were divided into test group by single blind, randomized methods (the Sanyinjiao acupoint group, Sanyinjiao acupoint and hegu point group) and control group(non-acupuncturev points group and the blank group).Each group with 40 cases.The patients were exerted mxibustion therapy 30 min in the Sanyinjiao acupoint group and Sanyinjiao acupoint and hegu point group, respectively in the maternal appear regularity uterine contraction pain, after ostium of uterus opened 3 cm.The women of the non-acupuncturev points group were exerted moxibustion therapy in the wrist horizontal stripes of radial side radial pulse place to elbow horizontal stripes biceps tendon of the midpoint of the radial side of attachment 30 min.The blank group women didn' t conduct notcarry moxibustion intervention.On the first active stage of labor time and uterine contraction pain were compared.Results The active labor time of Sanyinjiao group, Sanyinjiao and Hegu group,non acupoint group and blank control group patients were (116.11 ±65.89) min, (81.93 ± 53.45) min, (123.03 ± 7.67) min, (138.69 ± 104.01) min respectively, there was significant difference among Sanyinjiao and Hegu group, non acupoint group and blank group (P< 0.05), while the difference between the non acupoint group and blank group without statistical significance (P>0.05).The first time of production process of 4 groups were (313.22± 141.15) min, (379.50± 182.82) min, (393.00 ±196.50) min, (488.08±236.61) min respectively, there was significant difference among Sanyinjiao group,Sanyinjiao and Hegu group and blank group differences (P < 0.05).Moxibustion therapy after stopping, 2 h degree of cervical dilation of 4 groups were (8.37±2.19) cm, (8.14±2.74) cm, (7.64±2.91) cm, (6.29 ±3.05) cm respectively;contractions lasting time were (0.56±0.16) min, (0.52±0.13) min, (0.:48±0.17) min, (0.41± 0.09) min respectively;uterine contraction interval (2.98± 1.45) min, (2.56± 1.02) min, (3.89 ±1.54) min, (3.41 ± 1.32) min respectively;contraction strength enhaucement efficiency were 60.0% (24/40) ,75.0% (30/40), 17.5% (7/40), 10.0% (4/40) respectively, there were significant differences among Sanyinjiao group,Sanyinjiao and Hegu group,the non acupoint group and blank control group in terms of above indexes (P < 0.05), while difference between the non acupoint group and blank group without statistical significance(P>0.05).After the withdrawal of the moxibustion treatment 2 h, the pain reduction in childbirth of 4 groups were 52.5 % (21/40), 47.5% (19/40), 22.5% (9/40), 20% (8/40) respectively, the pain reduction in childbirth of Sanyinjiao group, Sanyinjiao and Hegu Point Group were higher than that of non acupoint group and blank group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05);while non acupoint group and blank group compared without statistically significant (P>0.05).Conclusion The effect of Moxibustion at Sanyinjiao and Sanyinjiao compatibility Hegu Acupoint moxibustion on maternal production process and uterine contraction are significant, but combine with Acupoint Moxibustion can shorten the time of the active phase of labor, increase contraction of the uterus, promote the production process.

Objective To investigate the effects of ropivacaine infiltration combined with dezocine on the agitation during recovery from general anesthesia in the patients undergoing cerebral surgery.Methods Sixty patients of both sexes,aged 18-64 yr,of ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,undergoing elective neurosurgery under general anesthesia,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =15 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),ropivacaine group (group R),dezocine group (group D),and ropivacaine + dezocine group (group RD).Group C received local infiltration with normal saline 20 ml at 10 min before skin incision,and normal saline 2 ml was injected intravenously at 30 min before the end of operation.The patients received local infiltration with 0.5% ropivacaine 20 ml at 10 min before skin incision,and normal saline 2 ml was injected intravenously at 30 min before the end of operation in group R.Group D received local infiltration with normal saline 20 ml at 10 min before skin incision,and dezocine 10 mg was injected intravenously at 30 min before the end of operation.The patients received local infiltration with 0.5% ropivacaine 20 ml at 10 min before skin incision,and dezocine 10 mg was injected intravenously at 30 min before the end of operation in group RD.The time for recovery from anesthesia,extubation time,and development of agitation after extubation in PACU were recorded.Agitation was assessed and scored.Ramsay sedation score and VAS score were recorded immediately after extubation.The development of cardiovascular events and respiratory depression was recorded within 10 min after extubation.Before induction of anesthesia (T0),at the end of surgery (T1) and immediately after extubation (T2),blood samples were collected from the dorsal artery of foot for deter mination of the levels of blood glucose,plasma cortisone,epinephrine and norepinephrine.Results Compared with group C,the agitation score,incidence of agitation,VAS score,and incidence of postoperative hypertension were significantly decreased in R,D and RD groups,especially in R and D groups.The time for recovery from anesthesia and time for extubation were significantly shorter in R and RD groups than in group C.Ramsay sedation scores were significantly higher at the onset of extubation in R,D and RD groups than in group C.Ramsay sedation scores were significantly higher in D and RD groups than in group R.Compared with group C,the levels of blood glucose,plasma cortisone,epinephrine and norepinephrine were significantly decreased in R,D and RD groups,especially in group RD.Conclusion Ropivacaine infiltration combined with dezocine can reduce the agitation during recovery from general anesthesia in the patients undergoing cerebral surgery.

Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR),proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA),laminin(LN)and type IV collagen expression in salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma(SACC).Methods:EGFR gene in 78 cases of SACC with complete clinical data was detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH)technique,the expression of EGFR,PCNA,LN and type IV collagen protein was detected by immunohistochemistry technique(IHC),their correlation with the clin-icopathological parameters was analysed by SPSS 13.00 software.Results:EGFR gene amplification levels(69.2%)was positively related to the ratio of EGFR protein positive expression(7 1 .8%),the expression of EGFR,PCNA,LN and type IV collagen was posi-tively related to the clinical pathological parameters(P<0.05).There was a positive correlation between EGFR and PCNA expression (P<0.05),a negative correlation between LN protein and type IV collagen protein expression(P<0.05).Conclusion:EGFR gene is amplified in SACC.EGFR,PCNA,LN and type IV collagen take part in the occurrence and development of SACC.

Background/Aims:
Low educational attainment is a well-established risk factor for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in developed areas. However, the association between educational attainment and the risk of NAFLD is less clear in China.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study including over 200,000 Chinese adults across mainland China was conducted. Information on education level and lifestyle factors were obtained through standard questionnaires, while NAFLD and advanced fibrosis were diagnosed using validated formulas. Outcomes included the risk of NAFLD in the general population and high probability of fibrosis among patients with NAFLD. Logistic regression analysis was employed to estimate the risk of NAFLD and fibrosis across education levels. A causal mediation model was used to explore the potential mediators.
Results:
Comparing with those receiving primary school education, the multi-adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for NAFLD were 1.28 (1.16 to 1.41) for men and 0.94 (0.89 to 0.99) for women with college education after accounting for body mass index. When considering waist circumference, the odds ratios (95% CIs) were 0.94 (0.86 to 1.04) for men and 0.88 (0.80 to 0.97) for women, respectively. The proportions mediated by general and central obesity were 51.00% and 68.04% for men, while for women the proportions were 48.58% and 32.58%, respectively. Furthermore, NAFLD patients with lower educational attainment showed an incremental increased risk of advanced fibrosis in both genders.
Conclusions
In China, a low education level was associated with a higher risk of prevalent NAFLD in women, as well as high probability of fibrosis in both genders.
