Objective To investigate the effect of combined use of acupuncture and medicine on T cell subgroups in ulcerative colitis patients. Methods Sixty-four patients with ulcerative colitis were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 32 cases each. The treatment group received acupuncture plus medication and the control group, medication alone. After two months of treatment, changes in T cell subgroups were observed in the two groups and the clinical therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups. Results The total efficacy rate was 87.5% in the treatment group and 75.5% in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). There were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in CD3, CD4 and CD4/CD8 in the treatment group (P<0.05). There were statistically significant post-treatment differences in T cell subgroup indices (CD3, CD4 and CD4/CD8) between the treatment and control groups (P<0.05). Conclusions Combined use of acupuncture and medicine is an effective way to treat ulcerative colitis. It can regulate the numbers of CD3 and CD4 and improve bodily immunologic function in the patients.

Objective: This research is conducted to analyze the background, the main practices and the results of the synergistic service of health institutions in Changzhou city, as well as to provide references for promoting the construction of integrated medical and health service system.Methods: This paper uses qualitative interviews and questionnaires to collect information and analyzes the data based on synergetic management theory.Results:Changzhou city has tentatively achieved the synergy of its health institutions by introducing relevant policies, setting up healthcare unions at the municipal level, integrating internal resources among healthcare unions, establishing health information platform and feedback mechanism, etc.Conclusion: The regional synergistic service of health institutions can be effectively promoted by introducing policies at the municipal level, promoting the mutual sharing and communication on information, and integrating internal resources among healthcare unions.But, as there still exist problems such as the distribution of benefits is not perfect, the degree of synergy is not close, etc., thus, the government is suggested to expand the implementation scope of the close-type medical service synergy and further improve the distribution policy of benefits.

Objective: To compare the clinical effects of two different skin preparation methods for infant craniocerebral surgery. Methods: Totally 120 infants who were going to receive craniocerebral surgery were divided into two groups by random number table, 60 cases in the observation group and 60 cases in the control group. The scalp of both groups was cleaned with moisturizing oil every day from 3 days before operation. On 1 day before operation, the observation group used electric shaver to shave off all hair on the head, and then rinsed with warm water. The control group was treated with skin preparation knife to shave all the hair under soap water lubrication and rinse with warm water. The skin injury rate, incision infection rate and pain score of the two groups were evaluated. Results: The incidence of skin injury and incision infection were 0 and 1.7% (1/60) in the observation group, 18.3% (11/60) and 13.3% (8/60) in the control group, respectively. There were significant differences between the two groups (χ²= 12.110, 5.886, all P < 0.01 or 0.05). The median score of pain in the observation group was 0 (Q₁:0, Q₃:0), while 1.5 (Q₁:1, Q₃:2) in the control group, and there were significant differences between the two groups (Z= 3.286, P < 0.01). Conclusion Electric shaver is superior to skin preparation knife in shaving hair of infants. It not only reduces the incidence of head skin injury, incision infection and pain in the process of skin preparation, but also reduces the incidence of incision infection after craniocerebral surgery in infants. It is worth popularizing.
