Objective To study the changes of umbilical blood lactate,pH, blood sugar(BS),bilirubin, electrolyte, osmotic pressure (OP) in the newboms with fetal distress.Methods Thirty-five newborns with fetal distress (distress group) and 40 healthy new-borns (control group) were studied. Distress group were divided into distress group Ⅰ and distress group Ⅱ respectively, based on without or with neonatal asphyxia. Concentration of umbilical blood lactate was determined with enzyme method, pH, BS,serum total bilirubin (BIL), serum electrolyte (Na+ ,K+ ,Ca2+ ) and OP were analyzed respectively. Results 1. The difference of incidence of newborn asphyxia between distress groups (29.03%) and control group (2.50%) was statistically significant. 2. Compared with the controls and distress group Ⅰ, the umbilical blood lactate concentration significantly increased in distress group Ⅱ (P 0.05).The incidence of hyperglycemia was significantly elevated in distress groups than that in the control group. 4. Lactate concentration in distress I and distress fl group showed negative correlation with pH. Conclusion The concentration of umbilical blood lactate can provide the proof for diagnosis and prognosis of fetal distress.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of heat-sensitive moxibustion in intervening acute ischemic stroke. Methods: A total of 112 patients were divided into a control group and an observation group by the random number table method, with 56 cases in each group. The control group was treated with conventional treatment, and the observation group was treated with heat-sensitive moxibustion on the basis of the treatment in the control group. The National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) and modified Barthel index (MBI) were evaluated, and the intracranial hemodynamic indicators including mean velocity (Vm), pulsatility index (PI) and resistance index (RI) were recorded, and the serum levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and homocysteine (HCY) were measured before and after treatment. Clinical efficacy was evaluated after treatment. Results: The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the NIHSS scores in both groups decreased significantly (both P<0.05), and the MBI scores increased significantly (both P<0.05). The improvements of NIHSS and MBI scores in the observation group were superior to those in the control group (both P<0.05). Vm in both groups increased significantly (both P<0.05), PI and RI decreased (all P<0.05), and Vm, PI and RI in the observation group were superior to those in the control group (all P<0.05). The serum levels of SOD and HCY in the observation group were significantly improved, and were statistically different from those in the control group (both P<0.05). Conclusion: Conventional treatment plus heat-sensitive moxibustion is effective in intervening acute ischemic stroke. It can promote the recovery of neurological function, improve daily activities, and improve intracranial blood flow, which may be related to the regulation of serum SOD and HCY levels.
