Objective To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of heat-sensitive moxibustion for knee osteoarthritis ( KOA) by systematic evaluation and Meta analysis methods. Methods Electronic information retrieval combined manual retrieval methods were used for collecting clinical randomized control trial of heat-sensitive moxibustion for KOA. The systematic evaluation was conducted by two individual researcher following the principles of Cochrane Review Handbook 5.1, and RevMan5.0 software was applied for the statistical analysis. Results Fifteen randomized controlled trials (RCT) were enrolled into the analysis, which involved 1228 cases. The results of systematic evaluation showed that the quality of most of the enrolled RCT were not so high. The results of Meta analysis were as follows: ( 1) Between heat-sensitive moxibustion and traditional moxibustion, the weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95%confidence index (CI) were-1.76, [-2.33, -1.18] for visual analog scale ( VAS) scores ( P<0.001) , were -2.36, [-3.42, -1.30] for the scores of guiding principle of clinical research on new drugs ( GPCRND) for KOA ( GPCRND-KOA) ( P<0.001) , and were 13.61, [7.60, -19.61]for Lysholm knee joint function scores (P<0.001), respectively; (2) Between heat-sensitive moxibustion and acupuncture, WMD and 95%CI were 6.19, [ 0.01, 11.37] for Lysholm scores ( P<0.05);(3) Between heat-sensitive moxibustion and warm-needling acupuncture, WMD and 95%CI were -10.14, [-17.47, -2.81] for the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities ( WOMAC) osteoarthritis index scores ( P<0.05). Conclusion It is indicated that heat-sensitive moxibustion shows certain therapeutic effect for knee osteoarthritis, better than traditional moxibustion.

Objective To explore the correlation factors of hospital stay and hospitalization costs among patients with acute ischemia stroke (AIS). Methods The clinical data of the patients with first diagnosis of AIS at Peking University Third Hospital in China from January 1 , 2012 to December 31 , 2012 were retrospectively analyzed to investigate the correlation factors of hospital stay and hospitalization costs using univariate analysis and multiple regression analysis. Results The study involved 496 patients, with a mean age of 63.38 years (range:26~88 years). Multivariate regression analysis showed the significant impact factors for LOS were age, pneumonia, the total score on NIHSS, medication for secondary prevention and stroke subtype. The significant impact factors for cost of hospital stay were payment method, stroke subtype, age, the total score on NIHSS and medication for secondary prevention. Conclusions Age, pneumonia, the total score on NIHSS, stroke treatment and its subtypes are the significant impact factors affecting hospital stay. Payment method, stroke subtype, age, the total score on NIHSS and medication for secondary prevention are the significant impact factors affecting costs of hospitalization.

Apolipoprotein E is an important regulation factor in lipids metabolism. It has been accepted that apolipoprotein E is relevant to many diseases such as Alzheimer′s disease and coronary heart diseases. And increasing study has revealed that apoE gene polymorphism is associated with some kidney diseases. We reviewed the progress of influences of apoE gene polymorphism on renal diseases.

Objective: To explore children's self-concept differences in age,sex and area during early adolescence.Methods: 533 children aged from 8 to 13 years were surveyed with the Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale.Results: ①Children's self-concept as well as its six components developed unequally as age grew.Significant differences existed in the Intellectual and School Status Subscale and the Physical Appearance and Attributes Subscale among children of different ages.②Girls did significantly better than boys in Behavior,Intellectual and School Status and Popularity subscales.③Children in urban areas scored significantly higher than those from the countryside in Physical Appearance and Attributes Subscale.Conclusion: There is certain uniqueness in children's general self-concept as well as its different components,according to children's ages,sexes and areas during early adolescence.

Objective To establish a method for the determination of phthalates in water by solid phase extraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(SPE-GC-MS).Methods The water samples were extracted and enriched by solid phasse extraction,using 10%methanol-methyl tert-butyl ether as eluant,dimethylphthalate(DMP),diethylphthalate(DEP),dibutylphthalate (DBP)and diethylhexylphthalate(DEHP)were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with selected ion monitoring mode(SIM).Results The concentration had a good linear range in the range of 0.00~10.00?g/ml,the correlation coefficient was above 0.998.The detection limit of DMP,DEP,DBP and DEHP were 2.7,2.1,1.6 and 2.5 ng/L respectively,the average recovery rate and the RSD of the method were 78.0%～102.5%and 3.3%～7.8%respectively.Conclusion This method,with small amount of solvent,is simple,fast,accurate and is applicable to the determination of phthalates in water.

Triptophenolide (TN) is a colorless crystalline plate isolated from ethyl acetate extracts of Tripterygium wilfordii. It can obviously inhibit the edema caused by xylol and mixture croton oil; and decrease the concentration of Vitamin C in the adrenal gland of mice.TN can remarkably inhibit the delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) reaction induced by DNCB and BSA; and diminished the peripheral blood ANAE+lymphocytes in rats and micc.Moreover, TN can dramatically increase the amount of total serum complement and significautly decrcase the serum antibody products (1gG ) of rats and mice. The phagocytosis of perioneal exudate macrophages in mice present double effects in vitro. TN can promote the phagocytosis of macrophages at the small dosage, but at larger dosage, it showed inhibition.The results mentioned above showed that triptophenolide may be one of the main effective component of T.wilfordii for treating auto-immune diseases.
