Totally 1 patient were selected from Beijing Xishan Institute for Neuroregeneration and Functional Recovery in Shijingshan District in May 2006. The patient received acupuncture treatment in trideca-ghost points after olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) transplantation. Detailed acupuncture method and acupuncture point were as follows: Acupuncture was performed from left side on Shuigou (DU 26), Jiache (ST 6), Fengfu (DU 16), Chengjiang (RN 24), Shangxing (DU 23), oblique needling from Shuigou to mittele muschel 0.3 cun. Needle insertion on Chengjiang was from left to right, for 1 minute without retaining needle. Then acupuncture on Shaoshang (LU 11), Daling (PC 7), Jianshi (PC 5), Quchi (LI 11) of both sides, and lower limbs: Yinbai (SP 1) and Shenmai (BL 62) was conducted. Acupuncture on Jiache and Quchi was retained until the patient vellicated limbs. Punctured on Dicang (ST 4) if the patient had spasm on angulus oris, about 20 minutes every time, once a day. After the treatment, the patient had some improvements in the consciousness and electrophysiology. Significant pain reaction appeared, and the endings of extremities had some little movement. The patient could turn head and twist shoulder. Evoked potential in electromyogram (EMG) had certain amelioration.

A variety kinds of cells were transplanted for brain and spinal cord repair, and some types of cells have been used for stroke, which including bone marrow stromal cells, neural stem/progenitor cells, olfactory ensheathing cells, human neuronal cell and so on. The complementary advantages of different types of cells and the integrated application of varied strategies of nerve restoration is an important direction for future exploration.

To evaluate the influence of different brands of syringes on performance parameters and application quality of syringe pump, we carried out matching experiment of infusion/syringe pump analyzer Rigel Multi-Flo, made by ALK Co. in Sweden, for 3 different types of syringes to measure the flow rate, occlusion alarm pressure, occlusion time and bolus volume of 26 syringe pumps. Data of quality control were analyzed with statistical method. The results demonstrated that there were significant differences in the flow rate, occlusion alarm pressure, occlusion time and bolus volume (P<0. 01) between those of common syringes and original syringes. This study points out that the health care providers should select compatible syringes for syringe pumps, which provides evidence and guidance to assure the reasonable and safe application of syringe pumps in clinical practice.

Objective To determine the relationship between Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR)(C677T, A1298C and G1793A)polymorphisms and stillbirth.Methods 33 unexplained stillbirth and 582 normal livebirth were col-lected for case-control study from August 2014 to August 2016.The genotyping of C677T,A1298C and G1793A polymor-phisms of the MTHFR gene was tested by using restriction fragment length polymorphism polymerase chain reaction.The relationship between MTHFR polymorphisms and stillbirth susceltibility was analyzed by logistic regression.Results There was no significant difference in the genetype frequencies of A1298C and G1793A of MTHFR polymorphisms between case and control.But there was significant difference in the genetype frequencies of C677T between case and control (CT:P=0.02,χ2=3.67;TT:P=0.02,χ2=3.65).Heterozygous CT and homozygous TT would be high risk factors of stillbirth. C677T was found in one (14.3%)of the cases with early stillbirth and in three (11.5%)of the cases with late stillbirth, having no significant difference.Twin pregnancy and MTHFR C677T increased the risk 8-fold (P<0.001,χ2=13.28)and 3.4(P=0.02,χ2=3.65)for stillbirth,respectively.Conclusion MTHFR C677T polymorphism is high risk factors associ-ated with the susceptibility of stillbirth.MTHFR C677T may be used as a prognostic marker of pregnancy cases predisposed to preterm delivery.

To cure one patient with spinal cord injury (SCI), who hospitalized for both legs couldn't moving for 21 years after external injury, by using the olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) transplant and acupuncture treatment. The patient was diagnosed as ischemic SCI (below the T11) according to the neurological test and MRI for dorsal vertebra. T11 spinous process was made to be the center mark through operation with the length of about 3 cm. The area between the atrophique spinal cord and normal spinal cord without vessel was selected and injected with OECs 0.5?109 L-1. Hemostasis, stitching, binging and fixation were performed respectively, and normal treatment was given by using antibiotics. At 14 days after operation, the temperature on skin increased a little, and acupuncture treatment and rehabilitation therapy were performed. The acupoints were as following: Baihui (DU21), Yintang (EX-HN3), Hegu (LI4), Zhongji (RN3), Guanyuan (RN4), Biguan (ST31), Fengshi (GB31), Futu (ST32), Dubi (EX-LE5), Zusanli (ST36), Xuehai (SP10), Yinlingquan (SP9), Sanyinjiao (SP6), Jiexi (ST41), Taixi (KI3), Fuliu (KI7), Taichong (LR3), and Shenmai (BL62). The treatment was given by mild reinforcing and attenuating with 30-minute retention. The rehabilitation: The needle pressing, manipulation for muscular atrophy, bicycle practicing, andimperative standing were performed. After 2 weeks, the skin temperature of the patient increased with obvious improvement in his right leg. The physical strength of the patient was reinforced with less perspiration, and the patient could walk 3 km without fatigue, which indicated that after OECs transplant, treatment with acupuncture, massage and other rehabilitation trainings could facilitated the improvement of SCI of the advance stage as well as the amelioration of muscular atrophy.

Objective To assess the usefulness of contrast echocardiography in differential diagnosing space-occupying lesions of the heart.Methods Contrast echocardiography was assessed for 38 patients of space-occupying lesion of the heart (SOLH).Contrast enhancement of SOLH was assessed visually,comparing with that in the adjacent myocardium:significant contrast enhancement,intensity higher than or equal to the adjacent myocardium; mild or partial contrast enhancement,intensity lower than the adjacent myocardium,or no contrast enhancement.Respectively,malignant tumors,benign tumors,and thrombus were diagnosed.Twenty-eight patients among the 38 cases had gold standard diagnosis.The consistency between visual assessment diagnosis and gold standards were compared with Kappa statistic.Results Visual semi-quantitative diagnosis of contrast echocardiography:thrombus,benign tumors and malignant tumors were diagnosed for 8,8 and 12 cases,separately.Except two highly vascular benign tumors (1rhabdomyoma and 1 paraganglioma) were misdiagnosed as malignant tumors,the rest 26 cases matched gold standard diagnosis.Quantitative analysis of contrast echocardiography,16 cases were suitable for quantitative an alysis,10 cases were diagnosed as benign tumors or thrombus (quantitative analysis could not differentiate the two),the rest 6 cases were diagnosed as malignant tumors.Quantitative analysis got the same 2 misdiagnosis as visual semi-quantitative diagnosis.Kappa value on visual semi-quantitative diagnosis of contrast echocardiography comparing with gold standard diagnosis was 0.892.Conclusions The characteristics of vascularity of SOLH can be accurately determined by the contrast enhancement level in diseased region through visual semi-quantitative analysis with contrast echocardiography.Contrast echocardiography can be mainly used in SOLH except thrombus that has been clearly diagnosed,especially for patients with on going or fore-past malignancy in other organs.

Objective To explore the value of combined use of laboratory indicators for diagnosis of early renal functional damage. Methods Eighty-six patients with various kidney diseases were enrolled in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University. On admission,the serum Cystatin C(Cys C),creatinine(Cr), Urea,etc were determined. The value of using combined laboratory indicators in the diagnosis of renal functional damage was obtained through the analysis of the receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC curve);multiple variable indicators were grouped to establish multiple logistic regression models to be compared and evaluated. Results In the early and late renal injury groups(group B of 32 cases and group C of 12 cases),the serum levels of Cys C,Cr, and Urea were significantly higher than those in the normal renal function control group(group A of 42 cases),the elevation in level in group C being the most significant〔Cys C(mg/L):3.47±0.75 vs. 1.59±1.29,Cr(μmol/L):669±466 vs. 214±173,Urea(mmol/L):21.22±13.10 vs. 11.04±8.24,P<0.05 or P<0.01〕. The areas under the ROC curve(AUC)made by combinations of Cys C,Cr and Urea for the diagnosis of renal damage were 0.908,0.817 and 0.785. In the four different kinds of combination of the indicators,the AUC were sequentially arranged from large to small area as follows:Cys C+Cr+Urea=Cys C+Cr>Cys C+Urea>Cys C>Cr+Urea(0.920=0.920>0.911>0.908>0.809). In this sequence,the AUC made by Cys C+Cr+Urea and Cys C+Cr were equal,both 0.920, whose sensitivity was 75.0%,specificity 100.0%,positive predictive value 100.0%,negative predictive value 80.0%and diagnostic accuracy rate 87.5%. So,Cys C + Cr combination could be used to substitute Cys C + Cr + Urea, and the former clinical diagnostic effect was the best,much higher than that by using AUC whose curve was made by Cys C alone. Conclusion The value of using only one laboratory indicator for diagnosis of patients with early renal functional damage is not high,while applying Cys C+Cr combination can improve the diagnostic effect greatly,and its sensitivity and specificity are higher.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of laboratory evaluation of renal injury in early diagnosis index. Methods Eighty-six patients in in-patient and out-patient of the department of urology were tested in serum C (Cys C), serum creatinine (Cr) and serum UREA nitrogen (UREA). According to the diagnostics (sixth edition), we evaluated their values for diagnosis of renal injury by analyzing the characteristics of the work curve (ROC). Results According to the renal function indexes, 3 groups were divided such as group A (normal renal function control Ccr 80 mL/min) or the Cys C, Cr, and UREA in (0.47 ± 0.24) mg/L, (85 ± 14) μmol/L, and (4.55 ± 1.33) mmol/L, group B (a decrease in renal function reserves, and renal insufficiency 20 mL/min or less Ccr < 80 mL/min) of Cys C, Cr, and UREA in (1.59 ± 1.29) mg/L, (214 ± 173) μmol/L, and (11.04 ± 8.24) mmol/L and group C (renal failure and uremia Ccr < 20 mL/min) of Cys C, Cr, and UREA in (3.47 ± 0.75) mg/L, (669 ± 466) μmol/L, and (21.22 ± 13.10) mmol/L respectively. As reducing in Ccr, Cys C, Scr and UREA concentration increased and correlated with Ccr negatively. According to the mazimum Youden index, the critical values of Cys C, Cr, and UREA were 0.90 (mg/L), 115 (μmol/L) and 7.33 (mmol/L) separately, the sensitivity (%), specificity, positive predictive value (%), negative predictive value (%), diagnostic accuracy (%) and the area of the ROC curve (AUC) were Cys C (77.3%, 97.6%, 97.0%, 81.1%, 77.3%, 0.908), Cr (65.9%, 97.6%, 96.5%, 74.1%, 65.9%, 0.817), and UREA (63.6%, 97.6%, 96.4%, 72.8%, 63.6%, 0.785) respectively. The diagnostic accuracy showed that the Cys C > Cr > UREA. Their correspounding ROC curve (AUC) were in the area of 0.908, and 0.785 and 0817. Cys C had the highest AUC (0.908), and achieved a good diagnosis effect. Conclusion Renal damage laboratory indexes of in the early diagnosis, Cys C has a higher sensitivity and specificity to be worth of clinical promotion.
