In order to provide some more scientific and practical advice and tactics for acupuncture in prevention of migraine in clinic, a computer-based information search was conducted in MEDLINE database, and the current reports of clinical trials were summarized and a comparison of Western and Chinese research designs was made. The significant role of acupuncture for prevention of migraine has not been applied in wide range in China until the present day. However, it has been paid great attention in Western countries. This situation might be related to the differences of efficacy assessment of acupuncture between China and Western countries; meanwhile, in the past traditional acupuncturists put much stress on the therapeutic approaches for acute attacks of headache but less on prevention. It is necessary for Chinese doctors to learn from research method in the West and emphasize more on acupuncture for preventing migraine and conduct high-level clinical trials as well. The author recommends that Chinese doctors should select acupuncture points mainly according to meridian syndrome differentiation and apply long term intermittent interventions.

BACKGROUND: Fibromyalgia is a kind of non-articular rheumatism,manifested as pain and stiffness in various parts of body, associated with sleep disturbance, fatigue, etc. But, the therapeutic effects of common therapies are not satisfactory.OBJECTIVE: To compare dermal neurological electric stimulation and electric acupuncture with routine medication and explore the therapeutic effects on fibromyalgia syndrome (FS).DESIGN: Randomized controlled experiment was designed, in which the patients were taken as the objects in observation.SETTING: First and Third Hospital Affiliated to Xinxiang Medical College.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 66 cases of FS were selected in Clinic of Rehabilitation Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical College from July 1994 to May 2002, all of which were the followed-up cases.They were randomized as dermal-neurological eleetric stimulation group (DE group), electric acupuncture group (EA group) and medical group, 22cases in each one. The patients were aged varied from42 to 55 years and sick in range from 7 to 13 months.METHODS: ① DE group: FZ-1 low-frequency pulsating apparatus was used. Two pairs of electrodes were attached to two pairs of main points that were near to the most distinct pain points and another pair was attached to 1 pair of supplementary points. Continuous wave was selected, pulsating width was 6-150 ms, high frequency 100 Hz and 15 minutes later,changed to low frequency 2 Hz, for another 15 minutes, intensity about (14±3) mA, once/d, continuously for 20 days as one session, totally 2 sessions were required. 4-day rest was demanded between two sessions. ② EA group: No.28 filiform needle was used to be inserted on the points deeply,after qi arrival; G-6805 electric apparatus was applied on the points. Point selection, operation and time 9f treatment were same as DE group. ③ Medical group: Oryzanol and Vit B1 were administrated orally, 30 mg/tablet,3 times a day. Amitriptyline was administrated, 10 mg every day at beginning, increased by 10 mg every day till to 20-30 mg. It was taken orally once before sleep, totally for 45 days.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Comparison of therapeutic effects on analgesia in each group. ② Comparisons of follow-up visits of cured cases and cases with remarkable effects in 6, 12 and 24 months after treatment.RESULTS: Totally 66 cases all entered the result analysis. ① Comparison of total effective rate of analgesia: The rates in DE group and EA group were higher significantly than medical group (100% ,95.5% ,68.2%;X2=18.03,17.27,P ＜ 0.01). ② Comparison of recurrence rate: The rates in DE group and EA group in 24 months after treatment were lower remarkably than medical group (7.1%,6.1%,50.0%;X2=7.01,6.91 ;P ＜ 0.05). CONCLUSION: Both dermal electric stimulation and electric acupuncture present strong analgesia and low recurrence rate. Dermal neurological electric stimulation on acupoints is a kind of non-traumatic method in treatment of fibromyalgia syndrome.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of green light photoselective vaporization(PVP)combined testicular resection plus anti-androgen treatment on advanced prostate cancer and bladder outlet obstruction.Methods Twenty cases with PVP of advanced prostate cancer and bladder outlet obstruction were selected as our subjects,who underwent PVP testicular resection plus anti-androgen treatment.The clinical information was recorded.Results All patients were succeed through surgery.Maximum urinary flow rate (MFR) at the pre-operation was (2.0 ± 1.0) ml/s,and increased to (14.0 ± 4.5) ml/s after operation.Serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) was decreased from the preoperative (176.5 ± 160.5) μg/L to (2.0 ± 1.0)μg/L International prostate symptom score (IPSS) was from (25.0 ± 5.0) down to (8.0 ± 1.0) points.The quality of life (QOL) score was (4.0 ± 2.0) at pre-operation,higher than after operation (1.0 ± 1.0)points.There were significant differences between preoperative and postoperative (t =9.502,7.371,5.328,8.350,P ＜0.05).Every patient was followed up from 3 to 18 months.The improvements regarding of clinical symptoms were seen including voiding,and all patients survived with tumor.Conclusion Advanced prostate cancer associate with bladder outlet obstruction.The therapy plan of PVP joint testicular resection plus antiandrogen is proved to improve symptoms of urethral obstruction and patient quality of life.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignant tumor of the liver.The incidence and mortality rates were ranked the sixth and three respectively in all kinds of tumors.Liver resection and liver transplantation has achieved remarkable curative effect in the treatment of early of HCC,but the recurrence is still an important problem to be solved.In HCC patients,local resection and liver transplantation after 5 years,the recurrence rate wasere 70％ and 35％,respectively.The invasiveness of tumor is different,and the recurrence rate is also different.Microvascular invasion (MVI) as a marker of tumor invasion has been widely used in the diagnosis of HCC.Some scholars believe that MVI imay bes the first step in the liver or systemic metastasis of liver cancer,if we can predicted the MVI before surgery,it will play a positive role in making treatment programs,because in order to reduce the recurrence rate,anatomic resection of and extended resection range is recommended.Advances in magic radiological technology have made made it possible to diagnose MVI before surgery.In this paper,CT,MRI,PET and ultrasound in the diagnosis of MVI would be introduced.

Objective To analyze the influence factors of lower extremities deep venous thrombosis after hip replacement,and provide guidance for perioperative prevention.Methods 52 cases of patients underwent total hip replacement were selected,who were given color doppler ultrasound examination for lower limb venous thrombosis after hip replacement.And analyzed risk factors of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis from patient's gender,age,blood lipid,D -dimer,complications and surgical index.Results During the 52 cases,16 cases were found with postopera-tive lower limb deep vein thrombosis (30.8%);Single factor analysis showed that patients with age ≥65 years,over-weight or obese (BMI≥25kg/m2 ),high triglycerides (TG ≥ 1.7mmol/L)and high D -dimer level (≥500μg/L), diabetes or high blood pressure,large blood transfusion combined with a greater incidence of postoperative deep vein thrombosis (P <0.05).Further multiple factors regression analysis showed that age ≥65 years,overweight or obesity, high triglycerides,high D -dimer,diabetes,large blood transfusions were independent risk factors of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (OR =15.693,1.278,9.832,3.053,1.855,1.014,all P <0.05).Conclusion Patients with total hip replacement should be given preoperative vein thrombosis risk assessment,patients with age ≥65,overweight or obese,high triglycerides,D -dimer level,diabetes,large number of blood transfusions have higher risk of deep vein thrombosis,we should focus on perioperative monitoring,application of low molecular heparin,lower limb vein pump, etc.early postoperative lower limb rehabilitation exercise,to reduce the occurrence of deep vein thrombosis.
