Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of abdominal acupuncture in treating perimenopausal insomnia.Method Sixty patients with perimenopausal insomnia were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 in each group. The treatment group was intervened by abdominal acupuncture, while the control group was by regular body acupuncture. The FSH, LH, and E2 contents, and Pittsburgh Sleeping Quality Indext (PSQI) were observed before and after intervention, and the clinical efficacies were compared.Result The total effective rate was 90.0% in the treatment group versus 86.7% in the control group, and the difference was statistically insignificant (P>0.05). The PSQI score was changed significantly in both groups after intervention (P<0.01). After intervention, there was no significant difference in comparing PSQI score between the two groups (P>0.05). The FSH, LH, and E2 contents were significantly changed after intervention in both groups (P<0.01). After intervention, there were no significant differences in comparing FSH, LH, and E2 contents between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion Abdominal acupuncture in an effective method in treating perimenopausal insomnia.

Objective To investigate the efficiency of levodopa in dopa responsive dystonia (DRD) patients and drugs safety in pregnancy cases confirmed by genetic detection.Methods The clinical characteristics of two patients were analyzed.Direct sequences were performed in guanosine triphosphate (GTP) cyclohydrolase Ⅰ (GCH1) gene and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) gene mutation screening.Results Case 1 was a young man exhibiting writer's cramp and dystonia of lower legs with marked diurnal fluctuation.Writer's cramp could not be relieved by treatment of low dose levodopa/benserazide.After increasing dose,the symptom of writer's cramp appeared occasionally.Case 2 was a young woman who experienced gait disorder.The symptom disappeared completely by levodopa treatment.She used levodopa and benzhexol during pregnancy.By 38 gestational weeks,she gave birth to a healthy baby.Sequence analysis of GCH1 gene in case 1 revealed a mutation (c.230C ＞ G p.S77C) that is a novel pathogenic mutation.The confirmed mutation c.628delC (p.His210Thrfs* 5) found in case 2 had been reported previously.No mutations in TH gene were detected in two patients.Condnsions Most of DRD patients have dramatic response to levodopa,but patients exhibited writer' s cramp may respond to levodopa incompletely.The previous reports indicate that no adverse events have been reported in DRD pregnant women with the monotherapy of levodopa.

This paper is discussed about course system construction of Microbiology, teaching method, in- struction means and experimental teaching mode. Teaching practice indicated that reform the pattern of Mi- crobiology educational mode can stimulate students’ interest in studying the course, cultivate their inde- pendent ability to solve questions, develop their creative thinking. It is an important way to train high-caliber talents.

Objective To construct RNAi combinant adenoviral expressive vectors specific to p65 subunit of NF-?B and to observe their gene silencing effect on p65 subunit.Methods Three pairs of complementary. single-strand DNA oligos targeting three various sites of p65 mRNA were designed and synthesized.Annealling was used to generate double-strand oligos(ds-oligos),and then the ds-oligos were cloned into pENTR~TM/u6 to generate the entry clone named pENTR.Recombination reaction in vitro with the pENTR and pAd/BLOCK-iT~TM- DEST was used to creat the adenovirus plasmid which contains the RNAi cassette.Then,the adenovirus plasmids digested with PacI were transfected into HEK293A cells to product adenovirus,and latter infected the HEK293A cells to amplify the adenoviral stock.Plaque forming assay was used to titer the adenoviral stock.The p65 gene silencing effect induced by the RNAi adenovirus was detected by Western blot and immunocytochemistry assay in ECV304 cells.Results The RNAi adenovirus specific to p65 subunit of NF-?B were produced with titer of 3.0 x 10~9pfu/ml to 2.5?10~10pfu/ml.The expression of p65 protein in ECV304 cells could be down-regulated efficiently by the RNAi adenovirus 48-72 h after infection,which would last for more than 6 days after infection.Conclusion RNAi adenovirus is an important tool inhibiting the expression of target gene efficiently.

ObjectiveTo explore the safety and efficacy of endoscopic treatment for choledocholithiasis in patients with decompensated cirrhosis.MethodsA total of 104 cases of choledocholithiasis with decompensated cirrhosis were treated by ERCP in our hospital between January 2001 and March 2011.ChildPugh grading and model for end stage liver diseases (MELD) were investigated pre-ERCP and 2 weeks post-ERCP.Complication and mortality during the follow-up were recorded.ResultsThe success rates of complete stone retrieval was 92.3％ (96/104),and plastic stent was placed in other 8.Major complications ineluded post-ERCP bleeding in 9 cases (8.7％) and pancreatitis in 8 (7.7％ ).MELD score valuated 2weeks after ERCP ( 10.1 ± 6.3 ) was significantly lower than that of pre-ERCP ( 1 1.9 ± 6.2,t =2.22,P ＜0.05).The Child-Pugh grading before ERCP of 104 patients were 28 in grade A (26.9％ ),52 in grade B (50.0％ ) and 24 in grade C (23.1％ ),which was significantly different from those of 2 weeks after ERCP (40/52/12).No death was recorded during hospital stay for choledocholithiasis,and 2 patients of Child-Pugh grade C died in 3 months after discharge.ConclusionERCP is an effective method for choledocholi-thiasis in patients with decompensated cirrhosis.The main severe complication was post-ERCP bleeding.Those patients with decompensated cirrhosis would benefit from ERCP if we took effective measures.

Objective To evaluate the melancholia incidence in the convalescence period of cerebral hemorrhage and its correlated factors.Methods Ninety-eight cerebral hemorrhage patients in the convalescence period were involved in this study.Melancholia was assessed by Hamilton depression scale (HAMD),neural functional deficiency was assessed by the national institute of health stroke scale (NIHSS),cognitive function deficiency was assessed by the Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) and neural functional deficiency recovery was assessed by modified Rankin scale (mRS).Hemorrhagic site and blood quantity were detected with CT.The blood flow of middle cerebral artery (MCA),anterior cerebral artery (ACA),posterior cerebral artery (PCA) was detected by TCD.Results The melancholia incidence in the convalescence period was 51.0％(50/98),34.0％(17/50) in males and 68.8％(33/48) in females,there was significant difference between the two (P ＜ 0.05 ).The scores of NIHSS and mRS had significantly positive correlation with HAMD (P ＜ 0.05 ),and had significantly negative correlation with MoCA (P ＜ 0.05 ).When the hemorrhagic site was in frontal lobe and blood quantity was 20-40 ml,the melancholia incidence was increased [76.2％ (16/21),62.5％ (25/40)].The average blood velocity of MCA,ACA and PCA in melancholia patients was significantly slower than that without melancholia patients,while resistance index was significantly higher in melancholia patients (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Melancholia incidence in the convalescence period of cerebral hemorrhage has positive correlation with sex,NIHSS,MoCA,hemorrhagic site and blood quantity.The average cerebral blood flow in the melancholia patients is significantly slower and resistance index is significantly higher.

Objective To investigate the relations between radiological findings and pathological classification of superficial depressed(Ⅱc type)early gastric cancer.Methods Radiological features in subtonic double contrast barium examination and the endoscopic pictures of early gastric cancer compared with the global pathological specimens and micro-pathological features were prospectively studied.Combined with the gastric endoscopic pictures,the sharpness of margin of the lesions,the changes of converging mucosal folds and the changes of the depressed surface on the film of double contrast barium examination were analyzed.The correlation between the radiological features and histological classification of gastric cancer including well differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma(tub1),moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma(tub2),poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma(por)and signet-ring cell carcinoma(sig) were studied.Results In 102 cases of Ⅱc type early gastric cancer,there were tubl 27 cases,tub2 11, por 26 and sig 38 cases histologically.The margin of the depressed lesions of tub1(24 cases)and tub2 (9 cases)cancers were mostly unsharply demarcated or with fine spicular border,while the margin of lesions of por(15 cases)and sig(31 cases)were mostly clearly and sharply demarcated,with statistical significance (P
