Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture combined with tuina in treating patients with cervical vertigo. <br> Methods: According to the principle of randomization, 258 cases with cervical vertigo who met the inclusion criteria for the study were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, with 129 cases in each. The patients in the observation group received acupuncture combined with tuina therapy, while those in the control group were just treated by the same acupuncture therapy as in the observation group. After 10-day continuous treatments, the clinical efficacies of the two groups were analyzed and compared. <br> Results: The total effective rate of the observation group was 100%, versus 86.0% of the control group, and the difference was significant (P<0.05). After treatment, cervical range of motion (ROM) scores in both groups were statistically significantly different from those before treatment (allP<0.05); in addition, there was a statistically significant difference in inter-group comparison of ROM score (P<0.05). <br> Conclusion: Compared with simple acupuncture treatment, acupuncture combined with tuina therapy has a better effect in improving the ROM of cervical vertigo patients, with higher clinical efficacy.

Objective :
To explore the effects of“radiotherapy assistant”application on lung cancer patients who receive radiotherapy.
Methods :
A total of 120 patients with lung cancer who received radiotherapy in Hangzhou Cancer Hospital from March to September 2017 were recruited and randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group. The patients in the control group received the routine health education,while the ones in the experimental group performed the“radiotherapy assistant”application focused on interactive guidance. Before and after the intervention,the scores of treatment-nursing compliance and self-management efficacy between the two groups were compared.
Results :
After the intervention,the compliance scores of radiotherapy treatment,health behaviors,regular review,moderate exercise,medication and diets in the experimental group were 2.77±0.43,2.67±0.51,2.68±0.50,2.45±0.75,2.77±0.43 and 2.65±0.55;the ones in the control group were 2.62±0.49,2.42±0.59,2.55±0.50,2.37±0.64,2.67±0.48 and 2.37±0.69. The scores of the six items of compliance in the two groups were all improved compared to the ones before the intervention,but the interaction between the groups and intervention time was not statistically significant(P>0.05). The scores of positive attitude,self-decompression,self-decision and total self- management efficacy in the experimental group were 52.48±7.69,10.51±3.31,36.88±6.15 and 97.62±12.87,respectively;the ones in the control group were 37.38±10.44,5.70±1.51,27.58±9.41,and 92.17±11.19. The scores of the two groups were all improved compared to the ones before the intervention,and the ranges of the scores improved in the experimental group were wider than those in the control group.
Conclusion
The“radiotherapy assistant”application can significantly improve the self-management efficacy of patients who receive the lung cancer radiotherapy,but its effect on the improvement of treatment compliance requires long-term intervention to verify.

OBJECTlVE To investigate the effect of Guiyuan tablets on the analgesic effect of morphine and morphine-induced tolerance and hyperalgesia. METHODS ① The model of morphine-induced acute tolerance Mice were ig treated with Guiyuan tablets 200, 400 and 800 mg·kg-1 and 15 min later were sc treated with morphine 10 mg·kg-1 every hour for consecutive 9 h. At 24 and 48 h, they were sc treated with morphine 10 mg·kg-1 alone, respectively.②The model of morphine-induced chronic tolerance Mice were ig treated with Guiyuan tablets 200, 400 and 800 mg·kg-1 and 15 min later were sc treated with morphine 10 mg·kg-1 every day for consecutive 8 d. On d 9, the mice were sc treated with morphine 10 mg·kg-1 alone. ③ The model of morphine-induced established tolerance. Mice were sc treated with morphine 10 mg·kg-1 every day for consecutive 8 d. On d 1, d 4 or d 7, the mice began to be ig co-administered with Guiyuan 200 mg·kg-1 . On d 9, they were sc treated with morphine 10 mg·kg-1 alone. The hot-plate test was used to detect the values of the baseline latency ( T0 ) and the post-treatment latency ( T1 ) before the percentage of maximal possible analgesic effect (%MPAE) was calculated. Spec-trophotometry was used to detect the nitric oxide synthase ( NOS) activity and the nitric oxide ( NO) con-tent in the tissue of the spinal cord. RESULTS The ED50 of the analgesic effect of Guiyuan tablets was 523.5 mg·kg-1 in the hot-plate test. Guiyuan tablets 200 and 400 mg·kg-1 prolonged the duration of mor-phine anti-nociception and deceased its ED50 from 4.67 to 3.14 and 0.65 mg·kg-1, respectively. ln the models of both acute and chronic tolerance, Guiyuan tablets prevented the decrease of the%MPAE and the baseline latencies ( P<0. 05 ) . ln the model of morphine-induced established tolerance, Guiyuan tablets rapidly reversed the decrease of%MPAE( P<0.05) , and this compound preparation which began to be co-administered with morphine from d 1 could significantly inhibit the increase of the NOS activity and NO content induced by morphine in the spinal cord ( P<0.01) . CONCLUSlON Guiyuan tablets are capable of enhancing the analgesic effect of morphine, prolonging the duration of morphine anti-nocicep-tion, preventing the development of morphine-induced tolerance and hyperalgesia, and might have neuroprotective effect.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of delayed 18 F?FDG PET/CT pelvic imaging after forced diuresis in detecting male patients with locally recurrent rectal cancer. Methods Thirty?two male patients ( 32-79 years) with clinically suspicious recurrences of rectal cancer were retrospectively ana?lyzed. All patients underwent a standard 18 F?FDG PET/CT followed by a delayed pelvic imaging after 2.5 h of administration of 20 mg furosemide intravenously and extra water intake of 500 ml at least. Final diagnosis was made by pathology or clinical follow?up (>10 months ) . Diagnostic efficiency of 18 F?FDG PET/CT standard and delayed pelvic images were calculated and compared. χ2 test was used for data analysis. Re?sults A total of 25 patients were diagnosed with recurrent rectal cancer, including 10 cases with invasion of surrounding tissue, and 5 cases with metastases. Among the 7 patients without local recurrences, 2 had dis?tant metastases. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of standard FDG PET/CT were 92.0%(23/25), 3/7, 81.2%(26/32), respectively. The corresponding values of the delayed imaging were 96.0%(24/25), 6/7, and 93.8%(30/32), respectively. The specificity of delayed imaging was higher than that of standard FDG PET/CT (χ2=14.333, P<0.05) , but no significant differences were found in sensitivity and accuracy between the delalyed imaging and standard FDG PET/CT (χ2=0.085 and 0.966, both P>0.05) . The urina?ry bladder activity reached or approached the background during the delayed imaging. Twenty?two malignant lesions of surrounding invasion were confirmed. The positive rate of delayed imaging was higher than that of standard FDG PET/CT:95.5%(21/22) vs 63.6%(14/22);χ2=6.400, P<0.05. Conclusions 18F?FDG PET/CT delayed pelvic imaging after diuresis and hydration is useful for eliminating the artifacts from urina?ry bladder activity, and for detecting the invasion to the rectal surrounding tissue more effectively. It could be a supplement to standard FDG PET/CT.

Objective To investigate the psychological care interventions for cancer radiotherapy psychological status of patients. Methods A total of 120 cases of cancer in our hospital from January 2012 to December 2013 treated with ra-diotherapy were selected for the study, which was in accordance with randomly divided into routine group and interven-tion group and the conventional group received routine care, the intervention group received psychological nursing in-tervention, the two groups were observed psychological conditions. Results The intervention group and conventional care group SAS scores and SDS scores showed no significant difference (P>0.05); After nursing, intervention group and the conventional group of former SAS score and SDS score significantly were higher than before nursing differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Satisfaction with clinical care of patients in the intervention group was 93.3%, satisfaction with routine clinical care of patients was 72.7%, satisfaction with clinical care of patients in the interven-tion group was higher than the conventional group of patients in clinical nursing satisfaction (P<0.05). Quality of life scores of patients in the intervention group were(86.3±3.2)points, routine quality of life scores for the group of patients(73.4±2.5)points. Quality of life scores of patients in the intervention group were higher than the conventional group(P<0.05). Conclusion The clinical course of cancer patients treated with radiotherapy for the treatment of psychologi-cal care to strengthen targeted interventions feasible and effective in improving patients' emotion. Meanwhile, to im-prove clinical care and patient satisfaction also has obvious advantages, improving the quality of life of patients after ra-diotherapy , worthy of clinical application and promotion.
