This article was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture and flunarizine for migraine treatment. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in migraine treatment by acupuncture andflunarizine were searched in the Pubmed, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, and W anfang database. The quality of inclusion criteria were assessedaccording to the CochraneCollaboration's recommended methodand the effective data was extracted. Then, the RevMan5.2 software was used in thesummary and analysis of the effective literatures. The results showed thatthe total sample size was893 cases, with 10 studies according to the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis showed that the short-term efficacy of the treatment group was higher than the control group [RR = 1.27, 95%CI (1.11, 1.45), P<0.000 4];the long-term efficacy of the treatment group was higher than the control group [RR = 1.76, 95%CI (1.05, 2.94), P=0.03]; headache degree of improvement was better than thecontrol group [MD = -2.00, 95%CI (-3.01, -0.99), P=0.000 1]. It was concluded that acupuncture was more effective than flunarizinein migraine treatment. However, the whole study sample size was relatively small, thequality assessment was not high, and the funnel plot analysis was left-right asymmetry, which indicated the presence of publication bias. It was concluded that more high-quality clinical cases should be confirmed in the future.

The paper analyzed the structural characteristics, biological characteristics, infection symptoms, detection methods and corresponding protective measures of Zika virus, as well as analyzed coping strategies for high-risk groups (pregnant women and infants).Zika virus is nonsegmented, single-stranded,and positive-sense RNA genome with fast spreading.Fever and arthralgia are its common symptoms.Currently, it can be tested in serum, urine and saliva samples.The virus protection can be classified into overall control from government, total prevention from society and individual protection according to the guidelines.It is severe to prevent and control epidemic situation of Zika virus, and it needs to improve the whole nation's prevention and treatment ability, and it can improve other social problems through Zika virus prevention.

Objective To investigate the efficiency of autologous transplantation of peripheral blood stem cell for treatment of patients with chronic lower limb ischemia. Methods Forty-six patients with chronic lower limb ischemia were treated by autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. Results Fortytwo patients had pain relief on legs, and cold and cool feelings in lower limbs disappeared. Thirty-five patients had pain relief on feet, and 29 of them had disappearance of cold and cool feelings. Due to necrosis in middle and lower part of leg, 4 patients took extremity amputation after 4 weeks of the transplantation. In the 42 patients who kept their legs 3 months after transplantation, the distance of anginacruris extended from (87. 45 ±41.22) m to (348.52 ± 147.24) m, skin temperature increased from(28.52 ±0.51 ) ℃ to(33.56±0.62) ℃ ,and ankle-brachial index (ABI) increased from(0.48 ±0.06)to(0.75 ±0.07). There were statistical differences, and the scores of the distance of anginacruris, skin temperature, and ABI after transplantation were better than before. six months after transplantation autobiography of lower extremity was used, and neonatal lateral vessels of different degrees were found in 37 patients. Conclusion Autologous transplantation of peripheral blood stem cell is a simple, safe, and effective method, especially in treating patients with lower limb ischemia in which no arterial reconstruction is feasible.

Objective To study the clinical features bone marrow biopsy of secondary myelofibrosis(SMF).Methods 69 patients with secondary myelofibrosis were analyzed retrospectively,and the relationship between myelofibrosis degree and megakaryocyte count was analyzed. Results Analysis of 69 cases of patients with SMF, the original incidence included 20 cases (29.0 %)of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML),14 (20.3 %) cases of lymphoma,10 (14.5 %) cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML),10 (14.5 %) cases of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS),6 cases(8.7 %)of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL),4 cases of multiple myeloma (MM),3 cases of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN),2 cases of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).There was no significant difference of the mygakaryocytes’ count and association of myelofibrosis with it was found (r=0.024,P=0.848). Conclusion Various clinical diseases of blood system may associated with secondary myelofibrosis. Bone marrow biopsy can be used to initial diagnostics of malignant disease of hematological system patients.When cellular examination of bone marrow is dry tap or dilution, which means higher incidence of SMF. Bone marrow biopsy plays an important role in diagnosis of SMF.

OBJECTIVETo explore the relationship between salivary proteome and dental caries and to promote the biomarker studies of dental caries susceptibility by comparing the salivary proteome of caries-active children and caries-free children with electrospray ionization ion-trap tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS).
METHODSTen caries-active children and ten caries-free children were sampled. The salivary proteome of the two groups was studied, and the differential protein between the two groups was analyzed by ESI-MS/MS after sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, filter-aided sample preparation, and liquid chromatography.
RESULTSThe concentration of salivary protein was higher in the caries-active group than in the caries-free group. The polypeptide counts of thecaries-active and caries-free groups were 602 and 481, which belonged to 286 and 227 proteins, respectively. The differential polypeptide count of the two groups was 361, and the differential protein count was 118. The detected proteins included matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9), mucin-7 (MUC7), lactotransferrin (LTF), carbonic anhydrase 6 (CA6), azurocidin (AZU), and cold agglutinin.
CONCLUSIONThe total salivary protein was higher in the caries-active group than in the caries-free group. The preliminary detection of differential proteins (MMP9, MUC7, LTF, CA6, AZU, and cold agglutinin) may lay some foundation for biomarker research of dental caries susceptibility.

Objective To investigate the situation of admission nursing evaluation on elderly patients of geriatrics departments in several Shanghai comprehensive hospitals, and the results will be the base for designing elderly patient′s comprehensive admission nursing evaluation form. Methods 41 nurse managers of geriatrics department in Shanghai comprehensive hospitals were selected as research object. Self-designed questionnaire included general data, elderly patient admission nursing evaluation content and the importance of each item. Results The effective recovery rate was 97.56%(40/41). 98%(39/40) hospitals considered that elderly patients need to have a comprehensive assessment according to the elderly characteristics, only 18%(7/40) hospitals used the special nursing evaluation form for elderly patients. The score of importance of five dimensions were as follows: geriatric syndromes or problems scored (4.64 ± 0.38), physical function assessment scored (4.60 ± 0.46), physiological function assessment scored (4.53 ± 0.45), mental and psychological assessment scored (4.10 ± 0.57) and social assessment scored (4.07±0.52). The score of importance of 29 items were as follows:fall assessment scored (4.90±0.30), pressure ulcer assessment scored (4.85 ± 0.36), activities of daily living scored (4.75 ± 0.44), urinary incontinence assessment scored (4.70 ± 0.52), pain assessment scored (4.70 ± 0.46). Conclusions It is of great significance to carry on the comprehensive admission nursing evaluation for the elderly patients, which needs to be valued and strengthened.
