OBJECTIVETo compare the efficacy difference in the treatment of senile insomnia among western, medication, acupuncture and the integrated therapy of acupuncture and western medication.

METHODSNinety-eight patients of senile insomnia were randomized into a western medication group (30 cases), an acupuncture group (35 cases) and an integrated acupuncture and medication group (35 cases). In the western medication group, estazolam 1mg was prescribed, taken 30 min before going to bed, oryzanol 20 mg, oral administration, three times a day, for 4 weeks totally. In the acupuncture group, the simple acupuncture therapy was applied at Shenmen (HT 7), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Anmian (Extra), Baihui (GV 20) and Sishencong (EX-HN 1), as well as the supplementary points selected according to the differentiation. The acupuncture treatment was given once a day, 5 treatments a week, for 4 weeks totally. In the integrated acupuncture and medication group, the western medication was combined with acupuncture. The dosage and usage of western medication were same as those in the western medication group; and acupoints in acupuncture treatment were same as those in the acupuncture group. The treatment lasted for 4 weeks in the three groups. Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and clinical efficacy were observed before treatment, after 4 weeks' treatment and in 4 weeks after discontinuity of treatment in the three groups.

RESULTSFour weeks after treatment, the clinical curative rates were 3. 3% (1/30), 21. 2% (7/33) and 25. 7% (9/35) in the western medication group, the acupuncture group and the integrated acupuncture and medicines group separately. The total effective rates were 70. 0%(21/30), 93. 9%(31/33) and 97. 1%(34/35) in the three groups separately. The curative rates and the total effective rates in the integrated acupuncture and medication group and the acupuncture group were higher than those in the western medication group separately (all, P<0. 01). PSQI scores after 4 Weeks' treatment were all improved as compared with those before treatment in the three groups (all P<0. 05). PSQI score in either the integrated acupuncture and medication group or the acupuncture group was lower than that in the western medication group, indicating the significant difference (both P< 0. 05). Four weeks after discontinuity of treatment, the efficacy was stable in the acupuncture group and the integrated acupuncture and medication group. PSQI score did not change as compared with that in the 4th week of treatment. The score in the western medication group ran back, close to that before treatment (P>0. 05). During the treatment, a few patients had dry mouth in the western medication group. The adverse reactions were not discovered in the other two groups.

CONCLUSIONThe integrated therapy of acupuncture and medication achieves the quick efficacy on senile insomnia and rapidly relieves the symptoms, with quite high clinical curative rate and total effective rate obtained. The long-term efficacy is better than that of western medication. The integrated therapy is the first option among the three therapeutic programs.

OBJECTIVE:To compare clinical efficacy of bivalirudin vs. tirofiban combined with heparin in the treatment of acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated with diabetes mellitus (DM). METHODS:195 patients diagnosed as STEMI complicated with DM were selected for retrospective study,and divided into bivalirudin group(100 cases)and tirofiban group(95 cases)according to the different treatment plan. All patients received emergency PCI within 12 hours and conventionally took aspirin and clopidogrel before and after PCI. Bivalirudin group was given bivalirudin 0.75 mg/kg intravenously before PCI, and continuous intravenous dripping of 1.75 mg/(kg·h)till the end of operation. Tirofiban group was given heparin 100 U/kg and ti-rofiban 10 μg/kg intravenously before PCI,and continuous intravenous dripping of 0.75 μg/(kg·h)tirofiban for 36 h. Postoperative reperfusion indexes,UCG monitoring indexes and safety were compared between 2 groups,and the content of serum BNP were compared before and after treatment. RESULTS:For the TIMI grade,TIMI frame count,the peak of CK-MB and peak time,ST segment decline percentage immediately after PCI,contents of serum BNP,LVEF,LVESD,LVEDD 7,30 d after treatment,the differences were not statistically significant between 2 groups (P>0.05). The incidence of MACE events was 36.8% in tirofiban group and 41.0% in bivalirudin group,there was no statistical significance between 2 groups(P>0.05). The incidence of bleeding events was 24.2% in tirofiban group and 7.0% in bivalirudin group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). CON-CLUSIONS:Bivalirudin and tirofiban combining with heparin have same efficacy in the treatment of STEMI complicated with DM,while bivalirudin may significantly reduce the incidence of bleeding events during primary PCI.

Purpose To investigate the imaging features of lumbar spinal epidural angiolipoma, and to improve the imaging diagnostic capability of the disease. Materials and Methods Four patients with lumbar spinal epidural angiolipoma confirmed by pathology were recruited in the study. CT and MRI images were reviewed and the imaging characteristics including the shape, size, location, density, and signal intensity were analyzed. Results The lesions located at the right front of the spinal canal in two cases, at the left front in one case, and the residual one case located directly behind the spinal canal. The longitudinal axis of the lesions paralleled to the longitudinal axis of the spine. The dura mater spinalis was compressed and inward shifted. All of the four cases showed homogeneous iso- or hypo-density on CT without calcification or necrosis in the lesions. The maximum diameter was 3 to 5 cm. The boundary was clear and smooth. Three lesions showed dumbbell-shaped and crossed foramen, but the adjacent bone were not absorbed or destructed. One lesion showed scallop-like. On MRI, four cases displayed slightly hypointense on T1WI and hyperintense on T2WI. On STIR images, the lesions showed hyperintense with patchy low signal intensity in it. The boundary of the lesions was clear. After administration of contrast media, two lesions presented remarkably homogeneous enhancement, one lesion showed dual tail sign, and one lesion displayed pen-tip-like at the both ends. Conclusion MRI plays an important role in locating the lesion and distinguishing internal tissue components of spinal angiolipoma, which is the gold standard for the diagnosis of the tumor. CT provides excellent supplement. The Combination of CT and MRI will improve the diagnostic accuracy of the spinal angiolipoma.

Objective: To observe the changes of heart rate and the contents of angiotensin Ⅱ(AngⅡ) in blood plasma in ventricular tachycardia(VT) rats with electro-acupuncture(EA) on ‘daling’(PC7). Methods: 40 SD rats were randomly divided into normal, model, treatment and control groups with 10 cases in each. VT model was duplicated by inject CsCl in femoral vein. To observe the rats’ electrocardiogram (ECG) and record their heart rates. EA was applied to‘daling’ (PC7) on treatment group and applied to‘Taiyuan’ (LU9) on control group for 5 minutes. Then, we detected the contents of AngⅡ in the rats’blood plasma respectively. Results: The heart rate and contents of AngⅡin rat increased obviously in model group were (547?30) time/min and (353.21?49.12)pg/mL). They restored to the normal state after EA ‘daling’ (PC7) are(474?25)time/min and(268.44?47.49)pg/ mL.But the effect was not obvious in ‘Taiyuan’ (LU9). Conclusion VT rat heart can be prompted to restore to the normal state after EA ‘daling’(PC7); AngⅡ played an important role in VT.

Background Retinal vascular caliber changes can reflect the development status of cardiovascular disease and diabetes-associated vascular diseases,so it is very important to quantitatively measure retinal vascular caliber in the study of systemic diseases and retinal vascular disease.However,the methodology study is rately seen in China within our knowledge.Objective The present study was to investigate the repeatability and reproducibility of IVAN software in measuring retinal vascular caliber.Methods This study was approved by Ethic Committee of Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University,and written informed consent was obtained from each subject prior to medical examination.A prospectively diagnostic trail was performed.The digitized fundus color photograph centered on the disc from 192 eyes of 96 healthy volunteers were collected in Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from January,2013 to December,2014,and central retinal arteriolar equivalent (CRAE),central retinal venular equivalent (CRVE) and arteriovenous ratio (AVR) were analyzed by IVAN measurement software.The repeatability and reproducibility of IVAN software for random repeat measurement of retinal vessel caliber from consecutive 85 right eyes of 85 volunteers were evaluation by interobserver and intraobserver measurement with interclass correlation coefficient (ICC).The correlations of measuring results between two observers or two-time measuring were analyzed with Pearson linear correlation analysis.Bland-Altman agreeement analysis was employed to assess the agreeement of the outcomes.Results No significant differences were found in CRAE,CRVE and AVR between the right eyes and the left eyes (t=-1.009,1.090,-1.259,all at P＞0.05).The CRAE,CRVE and AVR values from observer 1 were (145.02±12.94) μm,(400.72±9.12) μm and 0.36±0.03,and those from observer 2 were (145.10 ± 11.86) μm,(401.17 ± 9.85) μm and 0.36 ± 0..03,with no significant differences between observer 1 and observer 2 (t =-0.074,-0.913,0.116,all at P＞0.05).The repeat CRAE,CRVE and AVR values from observer 1 were (145.02 ± 12.94) μm,(400.72 ±9.12) μm and 0.36 ±0.03,which were significantly different from the initial values (t =-0.777,-0.048,-0.745,all at P＞0.05).In two-time measurements of intraobserver,all ICC were ≥0.738 and showed good correlations (all at r≥0.739).The two measurements of interobserver,showed good correlations (r≥ 0.662),with all ICC ≥ 0.657.Bland-Altman plots showed good agreements in CRAE and CRVE measurement with 95％ limits of agreement(LoA) ranged from-18.5 μm to 17.3 μm and-9.8 μm to 9.6 μm in intraobserver,and from-19.3 μm to 20.0 μm and-10.2 μm to 9.0 μm in interobserver,respectively.Conclusions IVAN measurement software yields good repeatability and reproducibility in the quantitative measurement of retinal vascular caliber.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture-moxibustion in the treatment of cerebral palsy-related speech impairment.Methods:A systematic literature search of 7 electronic databases was conducted between January 7,2000 and January 12,2021 to find randomized controlled trials(RCTs)examining the benefits of acupuncture-moxibustion combined with rehabilitation training to cerebral palsy-induced speech impairment.The included trials'quality was assessed using the Cochrane Reviewers'Handbook as a guide,and statistical analysis was carried out using the RevMan 5.3 software.Results:A total of 17 RCTs with 1238 subjects were finally recruited and analyzed.When acupuncture-moxibustion was combined with rehabilitation training,the results showed a considerable improvement in speech impairment compared with the rehabilitation training alone.The most commonly used points for the treatment of speech disorders are Baihui(GV20),Speech Area,Zhisanzhen[Shenting(GV24)and bilateral Benshen(GB13)],Niesanzhen[2 Cun above the ear tip as the first point,with 1.0 Cun anterior and posterior to the current point as the second and third points],and Sishenzhen[1.5 Cun anterior,posterior,and bilateral to Baihui(GV20)].Conclusion:Acupuncture-moxibustion has a stronger effect on children's development of receptive and expressive language,as well as the developmental quotient.Acupuncture-moxibustion in combination with rehabilitation training is not only more successful than the control treatment,but also safer and more dependable.Baihui(GV20),Speech Area,Zhisanzhen,Niesanzhen,and Sishenzhen are the most widely used points for speech impediment.
