In clinical treatment, it is found that certain patients always have some positive reaction points those are relevant with low back pain in the abdomen area. When the simple treatment on the low back is ineffective, the efficacy could be significantly improved if acupuncture or tuina is performed at the abdomen areas, which is called "regulating yin to treat yang", or "treating the back from abdomen". In this paper, with the diagnosis and treatment method of "treating the back from abdomen" for low back pain as principal line, the detailed manipulation is explained for low back pain that is induced by TCM meridian diseases or modern anatomy, which could open the methods for clinical treatment of low back pain and enrich the therapeutic options.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the drug-resistance of Escherichia coli isolated from clinic in the past two years. METHODS The drug-resistance to 19 kinds of antimicrobial agents of 435 E. coli strains was detected by K-B method. 3-D test was performed to detect AmpC ?-lactamase and Extended-spectrum ?-lactamases(ESBLs). RESULTS It showed that the strains from cervical secretions, urine, throat swab and lochia specimens had the highest positive rate. Sensitivity test results showed that the resistance rate to ampicillin, aztreonam, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprims and quinolones was high (49.23-84.10%), and resistance rate to the third, and fourth-generation cephalosporins was high too(31.35-46.80%). Strains that resistant to imipenem and meropenem were not detected out and they had a high sensitivity rate (93.38%), to cefoperazone/sulbactam. Detection rate of ESBLs and AmpC was 32.67% and 5.52%, respectively. Nineteen srtains produced both of them and 6 srtains produced AmpC only. CONCLUSIONS The detection rate and drug resistance are increasingly severe. Clinic and laboratory should make efforts to reduce hospital infection and dissemination of drug-resistant strains.

A colorimetric self-indicating probe for glucose was constructed by self-assembly of MnO2 nanosheets (MnO2 NSs) and glucose oxidase(GOD) in this paper.Under the weak acidic medium,glucose oxidase specifically catalyzes glucose into gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide.The by-product of hydrogen peroxide could efficiently dissolve the MnO2 nanosheets,resulting into a significant decrease of the characteristic absorbance at 374 nm assigned to MnO2 NSs.Furthermore,the absorbance difference was linearly proportional to the concentration of glucose ranging from 1 to 20 μmol/L The fitted curve could be used for quantification of glucose with a correlation coefficient of 0.990 1.And the detection limit as low as 0.1 μmol/L could be reached based on the definition of three times of the deviation of the blank signal (3σ) and there was negligible interference with other co-existing amino acids,anions,cations and protein,which indicated high sensitivity and selectivity of the hybrid probe.The construction strategy of designated probe is readily generalized in principle for detection of numerous analytes in view of reactive property of MnO2 and the diversity of enzymes.

Objective To analyse the characteristics of maxillofacial injuries resulted in different causes. Methods A retrospective review was done of patients admitted to the Stomatology Hospital of Fourth Military Medical University from January, 1996 to July, 2003. Data was grouped by different causes. Results 1 188 patients were reviewed, the majority of victims caused by different causes were males, the ratio of male and female is 3.34∶1. Most industrial and sport injury occurred in men. Traffic accidents were the major cause of the midface fracture and mandibular fracture. While violence was the major cause of pure soft injure and alveolar bone fracture. Conclusions Traffic accidents and violence were the major causes of facial injury. The facial injury caused by traffic accidents, industrial accidents and fall was more serious than those caused by other causes. More emphasis should be put on the prevention and treatment of these injuries to minimize the maxillofacial malformation.

OBJECTIVE To understand the clinical distribution and drug resistance of Enterococcus to provide evidence for the rational use of antibiotics. METHODS The Enterococcus isolated form clinic from Jan 2006 to Dec 2007 and the sensitivity to 13 kinds of antibiotics were tested by K-B method. RESULTS All of 122 strains of Enterococcus were isolated which included 76 strains of E.faecalis(62.3%),29 strains of E.faecium(23.8%) and 17 strains of other enterococcus(13.9%).Most enterococcus were detected from vaginal secretion,urine,drainage fluid,cervical secretion and throat swab.Drug sensitivity test showed that the sensitivity to vancomycin and teicoplanin was high while the resistance to rifampicin,erythromycin,tetracycline and ciprofloxacin was the highest,and the total resistance rate of E.faecium was higher than E.faecalis. CONCLUSIONS The detection rate and resistance rate of Enterococcus present a rising trend,which should be paid for more attention by clinic.Bateria cultivation is necessary for suspected enterococcus infection and the drugs selected according to sensitivity result to improve the curative effect.

Objective To Discuss the causes,prevention and treatment of delayed bile leakage following laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Methods From November 1994 to December 2007,totally 11 000 cases of LC were performed in our hospital,12 of them developed delayed bile leakage after the procedure. The mechanism,characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of the disease were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among the twelve cases of delayed bile leakage,eight cases showed perforation of the bile duct caused by thermoelectric effect,two cases had leakage of the aberrant bile-duct,and two cases were injured by unknown reasons. B-ultrasonography-guided drainage was performed in four of the patients,laparoscopic or open repair combined with T-tube drainage were carried out in three,abdominal puncture combined with endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) was done in three,abdominal puncture with endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage (ERBD) was made in one,and open repair and bilio-jejunal anastomosis was performed in one. All patients were cured and discharged in 8 to 21 days with a mean of 15 days. No intra-abdominal infection,hemorrhage,recurrent bile leakage or intestinal leakage occurred after the operations. Re-examination by B-ultrasonography or cholangiopancreatography performed ten days after the drainage showed no stricture or dilation of the bile duct,and contrast media drained out fluently. The 12 cases were followed up for one year,none of them showed biliary stenosis or infections during the period. Conclusions Post-LC injury of the bile duct is mostly caused by thermoelectric effect. Gentle operation and separation strictly following the anatomical levels are the keys in prevention of postoperative delayed bile leakage; while endoscopy and interventional treatment are main methods for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
