Objective: To observe the therapeutic effect of treating senile intervertebral disc Herniation with acupuncture, tuina and traction and with physiotherapy and traction. Methods: Altogether 150 cases above 65 years old were randomly allocated into treatment group and control group, each containing 75 cases. Traction, acupuncture and tuina therapy were adopted in the treatment group, while traction and physiotherapy were adopted in the control group. Results: After one-month treatment, the recovery rate of the treatment group were 70.7%, which was significantly better than 53.3% of the control group (P＜ 0.05). Conclusion:Combination of acupuncture, tuina and traction has very good efficacy in treating senile intervertebral disc Herniation.

A 54-year-old female presented with indurated nodules and plaques on the left chest and back for 32 years.Skin examination showed little finger- to soybean-sized,slightly whitish indurated nodules with little mobility arising on skin-colored indurated plaques following Blaschko's lines on the left chest and back.The lesional skin was sclerotic and atrophic,and the lesions were distributed unilaterally.Serum levels of calcium,phosphate,alkaline phosphatase and parathyroid hormone were normal.Histopathological examination revealed fibrous scar with flake-like calcification.The diagnosis was idiopathic calcinosis cutis following Blaschko's lines.

3 systems) underlying diseases.One hundred and five cases with respiratory tract infections ranked on top of distribution of infected tissues,59 cases happened in ICU wards.CONCLUSIONS The predisposing factors of hospital infections are aging,long hospitalization,inappropriate use of antibiotics,invasive operations and serious underlying diseases.Hospital infections happen highly in ICU,department of neurology,and organ transplantation departments.The most infected site is respiratory tract.

OBJECTIVEThis study aims to evaluate the nasolabial angle change and the correlation analysis ot Angle'Is Class II division 1 malocclusion patients with vertical growth pattern after tooth extraction orthodontic treatment and provide experimental results to help in making orthodontic treatment plan and treatments.

METHODSA total of 38 Angle's Class II division 1 malocclusion patients with vertical growth pattern and tooth extraction orthodontic treatment were included in this study. Pre- and post-treatment cephalometric X-rays were performed, and 18 measurement items were measured. The change values of pre- and post-treatment, youngsters, and adults were compared to analyze the correlation of the nasolabial angle change.

RESULTSThe nasolabial angle between youngsters and adults was enlarged after treatment, but the nasolabial angle of the adult group changed more significantly. Ul to FH, Ul to NA, U1-NA, Spr-Ptm were reduced after treatment, and the adult group decreased more significantly. The upper lip sulcus and flange thickness, A'-Ptm, upper lip length, and nose prominence were enlarged after the adolescent treatment, but the adult had a certain degree of decrease. The difference had statistical significance. In the correlation of the nasolabial angle change analysis of the two groups, namely, Ul to FH, Ul-NA and U1 to NA had significant negative correlation, significant positive correlation to the upper lip inclination angle, and more significant correlation in the adult group. Upper lip flange thickness and nasolabial angle were negatively correlated, and the upper lip sulcus thickness was positively correlated. However, no significant correlation was observed between these two in the adult group.

CONCLUSIONThe nasolabial angle change of adolescents with vertical growth pattern in class II division 1 malocclusion after extraction treatment is related to the upper anterior teeth hard tissue and upper lip soft tissue, whereas only adults and upper anterior teeth hard tissue are related.

Objective To observe rosiglitazone(RSG) combined with insulin therapy in type 2 diabetes pa-tients with tuberculosis. Methods 66 cases with type 2 diabetes and tuberculosis used the conventional antitubercu-losis treatment, divided into insulin group(DM + INS) 33 cases, the treatment group (DM + INS + RSG) 33 with dy-namic observation of blood glucose, and the lesions of tuberculosis in sputum culture. Results DM + INS + RSG group at the same time as the conversion rate is higher than DM + INS group(X2 = 8.45, X2 = 6.11,X2 = 12.87, P<0.05), the lesions were closed and empty absorption were significantly different (X2 = 15.60, P < 0.05 ; X2 = 5.00, P< 0.05), DM + INS group before and after treatment did not change significantly. After treatment DM + INS + RSGgroup FPG, PPG and HbAlc levels lower than before treatment(P < 0.05～0.01 ) and DM + INS group with sig-nificant differences( P < 0.05～0.01 ). Conclusion The addition of rosiglitazone to insulin treatment results in sig-nificantly improvement in glycemic control in the type 2 diabetic patients.

Objective To investigate the relationship between homocystine (Hcy) ,methylenetetra hydrofolate reductase(M T H-FR) C677T and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM ) .Methods A total of 91 GDM cases(GDM group) and 123 cases with normal pregnancy(control group) were detected for the C677T polymorphism of M T HFR and serum levels of Hcy and glucose .Results Serum Hcy level in GDM group was remarkable higher than that of control group (P< 0 .05) .Hcy level was positively correlated with fasting plasma glucose ( P < 0 .05) .The genotype frequencies (CC ,CT ,TT ) of M T HFR C677T in GDM group and control group were with significantly difference(P< 0 .05) .Hcy was significantly higher in women with C677T TT genotype than those with CC genotype(P< 0 .05) .Conclusion Hcy could be related to GDM .The mutation of M T HFR might affect serum Hcy level , and be involved in the occurrence and development of GDM .

Objective To observe the levels of serum 25‐hydroxy(25OH) vitamin D and bone mineral density(BMD) in appar‐ently healthy middle‐aged and elderly people in Zhongshan area and investigate the correlation between each other .Methods The BMD of 200 participants was measured by ultrasound BMD detector ,the participants were divided into 3 groups according BMD re‐sults .Simultaneously ,their serum 25OH vitamin D levels were measured by ECLIA .Results Among 200 participants ,the preva‐lence of vitamin D severe deficiency ,deficiency ,insufficiency and sufficiency w ere 7 cases (3 .5% ) ,35 cases (17 .5% ) ,102 cases (51 .0% )and 56 cases(28 .0% ) ,respectively .There was no significant difference in the BMD values among subgroups of different vitamin D levels(P>0 .05) .The prevalence of low BMD and osteoporosis were 60 cases(30% ) and 10 cases(5% ) ,the levels of ser‐um 25OH vitamin D in normal BMD ,low BMD and osteoporosis group were (67 .31 ± 18 .28) ,(65 .62 ± 15 .41) and (64 .95 ± 19 .86)nmol/L ,respectively .There was no significant difference in the levels of serum 25OH vitamin D among BMD subgroups (P>0 .05) .Serum 25OH vitamin D levels were not directly correlated with BMD(P>0 .05) .Conclusion Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency are quite serious problems in apparently healthy adults in Zhongshan area .There is no evidence that the status of ser‐um 25OH vitamin D is correlate with BMD ,for laboratory diagnosis of osteoporosis ,more sensitive laboratory markers are needed .

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum 1 ,25‐hydroxy vitamin D3 concentration level and children with bronchial asthma .Methods 222 children with bronchial asthma treated in paediatrics of Zhongshan Boai hospital from 2012 Jan 2014 Dec were chosen as asthma group(A) ,while 223 cases of healthy children were selected as control group(C) .Electro‐chemical luminescence method was used to detect the serum level ,and its effect on asthma was disscussed .Results The concen‐tration of serum 1 ,25‐hydroxy vitamin D3 of asthma group (86 .30 ± 27 .70 nmol/L) was low than the control group ( 93 .39 ± 27 . 15nmol/)L .Serum levels of asthma group in different age groups (A1 ,A2 and A3) were 106 .87 ± 28 .28 nmol/L ,88 .98 ± 20 .65 nmol/L ,68 .38 ± 19 .23 nmol/L respectively ,While those of control groups were (110 .00 ± 22 .30) nmol/L ,(87 .36 ± 24 .42) nmol/L ,(21 .23 ± 16 .42) nmol/L respectively .Male and female serum level in asthma group were (88 .26 ± 27 .73)nmol/L and (81 .94 ± 26 .91)nmol/L respectively .While those of control group were(91 .91 ± 26 .57)nmol/L and (85 .69 ± 28 .04) nmol/L re‐spectively .Conclusion There is significant correlation between serum 1 ,25‐hydroxy vitamin D3 level and children with bronchial asthma .,yet no correlation between serum level and gender .1 ,25‐hydroxy vitamin D3 duficiency is one of the risk factors of chil‐dren asthma .
