The traditional Chinese medicinal therapy of the eye acupuncture is one of superior microacupuncture therapies which was invented by famous acupuncture professor Peng Jing-shan. Through needling points around the eye, the treatment can treat the diseases of whole body, especially for curing apoplectic paralysis. This article expounded and analyzed the mechanism of eye acupuncture in treating apoplectic paralysis through medical theory, biological holographic theory, modern nerves anatomy and nerves physiology.

Objective To explore cardiac function of ventricular contraction and drastole in 30 infants with severe pneumonia in high altitude area.Methods Thirty patients with severe pneumonia were collected as patient group,and 32 healthy as control group.Cardiac function of left and right ventricle were detected by echocardiography,and the results were compared between two groups.Results Pre-ejectin period/acceleration time(RPEP/AT) of the right ventricle,right isovolumic relaxation time(RIRT) and left isovolumic relaxation time(LIRT)were significantly longer in patient group than those in control group(Pa

Background The measurement of the extraocular muscle is critical for the diagnosis of extraocular muscle diseases,but conventional medical imaging techniques present some shortcomings because of the contact pattern.The anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) is thought to be an in vivo noninvasive optical diagnostic imaging method.Objective This clinical study attempted to seek an available approach to the evaluation of the anatomic structure of human horizontal rectus insertion with Visante OCT.Methods One hundred and fourteen eyes of 58 subjects were included in this study and were divided into the low refractive power group (≤-3.00 D) with 43 eyes,moderate refractive power group(＞-3.00 D-≤-6.00 D) with 49 eyes and high refractive power group(＞-6.00 D) with 22 eyes.The horizontal rectus insertion distance to the scleral spur and its thickness were measured by Visante OCT.The correlation of the refractive power with the rectus insertion distance or thickness was analyzed.Written informed consent was obtained from each subject before medial assessment.Results The average distance from the scleral spur to the lateral and medial rectus insertion were (5.23±0.50)mm and (3.81±0.46)mm respectively.The average thickness of the lateral and medial rectus insertions were (0.39±0.06)mm and (0.39±0.06)mm respectively,showing no significant differences in comparison with those of ultrasound biomicroscopy (P=0.338,P=0.759).The lateral and medial rectus insertion distances were (5.25±0.45)mm and (3.74±0.53)mm in the low refractive power the group,(5.22±0.60)mm and (3.81±0.42)mm in the moderate group and (5.20±0.35)mm and (3.90±0.42)mm in the high refractive power group,presenting inconsiderable difference among these three groups(lateral rectus: χ2=0.054,P=0.974;medial rectus: F=0.508,P=0.604).The thickness of the lateral and medial rectus insertions were (0.41±0.06)mm and (0.40±0.06)mm in the low refractive power group,(0.40±0.07)mm and (0.37±0.07)mm in the moderate refractive power group,(0.36±0.05)mm and (0.39±0.05)mm in the high refractive power group with a significant difference among lateral rectus (F=4.922,P=0.009) but not medial rectus (F=2.152,P=0.125).The lateral rectus insertions thickness in the high refractive power group was thinner than that in low refractive power group (P＜0.05).A positive correlation was found between refractive power and the thickness of lateral or medial rectus insertions (r=0.284,P＜0.01).Conclusion Visante OCT is a uscful way in measuring the distance and thickness of the extraocular muscles.Lateral rectus insertions thickness tends to be thinner with the worsening of myopia,which is obvious in high myopia.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate systematically the impact of asthma education on asthma control. METHODS: To search Medline, Embase, CBMdisc, CNKI and Vip. The quality of included studies such as randomization, blinding and allocation concealment was evaluated and Metaanalysis was performed by RevMan 5.1 software. RESULTS: Eight randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. As education group was compared with control group, the Metaanalysis indicated that the asthma knowledge, day lost from work or study, ED attendence and the quality of life of education group was better than that of control group. But there were statistical difference in the asthma knowledge, day lost from work or study and the quality of life between education group and control group. CONCLUSION: According to the Metaanalysis's result, education is helpful to achieve good asthma control. It should be necessary to do high quality and large sample randomized controlled trials on health education of asthma, so that further stratified the analyses of asthma education can be carry out.

Objective: To evaluate the current situation and trend of anti-infection drug usage in 11 hospitals of Shanghai during 2003-2005. Methods: Using the cost ranking approach, we analyzed the anti-infection drug usage in 11 major hospitals of Shanghai during 2003-2005. The drug species, consumption, cost, manufacturer, etc. were analyzed by Excel 2000 software. Results: It was found that the cost of anti-infection drugs in the 11 hospitals occupied 22. 65% of the total drug expenditure during 2003-2005 and the expenditure decreased at an annual rate of 4.02%. We also found that 80% of the anti-infection drugs were antibiotics. The consumption of β-lactamase inhibitor valued 44.120 5, 73.696 7 and 95.163 0 million Yuan in 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively (with a yearly growth of 46.86%), ranking the 3rd in 2003 and the 2nd in both 2004 and 2005. The consumption of cephalosporins ranked the first during 2003-2005, The top 20 anti-infection drugs occupied nearly 80% of the total consumption; the consumption of sulbactam sodium/cefoperazone raised from the 17th in 2003 to the 5th in 2004 and to the first in 2005. Conclusion: The consumption of anti-infection drugs has been restrained; cephalosporins are still the major drugs in clinical practice; and the consumption of sulbactam sodium/cefoperazone is on the rise year by year.
