With Jianyu (LI 15), Jianliao (TE 14) and Jianzhen (SI 9) for instance, the three acupoints used to treat shoulder bi syndrome by needle knife, and through traceability and researching constant structure, the acupoint position, insertion trace, manipulation and clinical significance of needle knife medicine were discussed. Accurate position is one of the characteristics of acupoints selection of needle knife medicine. As for the acupoints selection method, the mean of body surface localization is always used. The phanerous or palpable bone processes, muscles and tendons are taken as positioning marks; pressing areas where appear sour, numb, or distensible and other sensations is considered as the principle of press positioning. So acupoints position method is the combination of observation and palpation. Different insertion methods can effectively relieve the accretive bursae synovialis, tendon, joint capsule and the compressed nerve, so that shoulder bi syndrome is relieved.

Objective To develop Z-score reference ranges for tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion(TAPSE) in normal fetuses from the measurements of gestational age(GA),biparietal diameter (BPD) or femur length(FL) using fetal echocardiography.Methods A retrospective cross sectional study of 1012 singleton normal fetuses were performed.The gestation age ranged from 20 to 41 weeks.Non-cardiac fetal biometric parameters included GA and BPD and FL were measured and calculated GA based on menstrual age.TAPSE was measured in a standard apical four-chamber view by free angle M-mode echocardiography.Normal Z-score ranges were developed for TAPSE using GA,BPD and FL as independent variables.These were accomplished by using first standard regression analysis and then weighted regression of absolute residual values for each parameter in order to adjust for inconstant variance.Results Linear regression model was the best description of the data in each case and correlations between TASPE and independent variables (GA,BPD,FL) were excellent.Heteroscedasticity of standard deviation (SD) with increasing independent variables also could be modeled with a simple linear regression.According to these equations,TAPSE Z-score =(the actual measurement of TAPSE-predicted TAPSE)/prediction SD.Conclusions Normal reference ranges and Z-scores for TAPSE have been provided.These normative data may be useful tools for assessment of fetal TAPSE,to evaluate fetal right ventricular function more accurately and effectively.

Objective To investigate the outcomes of surgery combined with albendazole liposomes in the treatment of advanced hepatic alveolar echinococcosis.Methods This is a retrospective study on 71 patients with advanced hepatic alveolar echinococcosis treated from January 2002 to November 2013.The patients were divided into 4 groups according to the surgical methods and whether surgery was combined with albendazole liposomes.Results On follow-up from 5 ～ 44 months,the mortality rates for the volume-reduction surgery group was 82.3％,the volume-reduction surgery + albendazole group 52.3％,the radical operation group 28.5％,and the radical operation + albendazole group 21.1％.The mortality rate of the radical operation + albendazole group,when compared with the radical operation group and the volume-reduction surgery + albendazole group was significantly different (P ＜ 0.05).The mortality rate of the radical operation group,when compared with the volume-reduction surgery + albendazole group showed no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).The mortality rate of the volume-reduction surgery group,when compared with the volume-reduction surgery + albendazole group,the radical operation group,and the radical operation + albendazole group was significantly different (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The treatment of radical operation combined with albendazole liposomes for advanced hepatic alveolar echinococcosis reduced recurrence,improved quality of life and prolonged survival.It is a feasible method to treat these patients.

Src family kinase (SFK) highly expresses in many types of cancers,broadly adjusting their malignant behaviors.Paclitaxel is a widely used chemical agent.However,because of constant resistance,the effect of paclitaxel has been greatly attenuated.The present review summaries the recent research progress of the structure and adjustment of SFK and the molecular mechanism of paclitaxel resistance,as well as the regulation of SFK on paclitaxel resistance,in order to provide new references and evidences upon the paclitaxel-based tumor therapy.

Objective ABCG2(ATP-binding cassette superfamily G member 2)is a member of ABC transporter superfamily,and participates in the mechanisms of high resistance to chemotherapeutic agents in tumor treatment.The aim of present study is to investigate the expression and significance of ABCG2 in lung cancer tissues.Methods Lung cancer tissues were obtained from 83 patients(64 NSCLC,19 SCLC)by bio-autopsy or surgery.No patients had received chemotherapy or radiotherapy before bio-autopsy or surgery.83 lung cancer specimens were analyzed for ABCG2 protein expression by using immunohistochemistry.Negative controls had the primary antibody eliminated.Human placenta tissues were used as positive control.In addition,five specimens of normal lung tissues were included for comparative study.Results The present study confirmed the predominant localization of ABCG2 transporter in plasma membrane.Some of ABCG2-positive tumors showed mixed membranous and cytoplasmic staining.ABCG2 expression was found in 71.9%(46/64)of NSCLC and 10.5%(2/19)of SCLC.The level of ABCG2 expression was significantly higher in NSCLC than in SCLC(P

Objective To obtain the annular plane systolic excursion difference (APSED)of fetuses in second and late trimester by free angle M-mode (FAM)and tissue motion of annular displacement (TMAD)in order to assess the fetal ventricular function.Methods The mitral annular plane systolic excursion(MAPSE)and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion(TAPSE)of four hundred and fifty five normal fetuses from 20 to 41 weeks were measured by FAM echocardiography,and the difference between them were calculated.Early diastolic velocities (Em)of the mitral annular and early diastolic velocities (Em')of the tricuspid annular were estimated by pulsed-wave tissue Doppler imaging (TDI),meanwhile systolic velocities (Sm)of the mitral annular and systolic velocities (Sm')of the tricuspid annular were also estimated by TDI.Fifty normal fetuses in the second and late trimester were choosed randomly,two-dimension imaging was obtained at the apical four-chamber view,then mitral annular plane and tricuspid annular plane displacement curve were acquired at the same time by using off-line QLab 8.1 software,and the differences in the peak time between them were compared.The trace of annular displacement were recorded by color tissue tracking technology.Results There was a significant difference between FAM-TAPSE and FAM-MAPSE in different gestational weeks (P <0.05),FAM-TAPSE was growing with the increase of gestational weeks,FAM-APSED showed significant positive correlations with gestational week, Em,Sm,Em' and Sm'.Annular plane displacement curve showed that TMAD-TAPSE was higher than TMAD-MAPSE in the entire cardiac cycle,and there was no statistically significant difference in time to peak of the annular plane displacement curve between them(P >0.05).Conclusions The APSED existed in the second and late trimester continually.It was considering associated with fetal ventricular torsion.As the growth of gestational weeks,the increase of APSED reflected the enhanced reserve capacity of the fetal ventricular torsion.APSED can reflect the longitudinal motion and torsion movement of fetal ventricle quantitatively,and can be used as a new index to assess the fetal cardiac function.
