Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2007;5(1):21-26
Objective: To observe the effects of needling Baihui (GV 20), Shuigou (GV 26) and Shenmen (HT 7) on cerebral glucose metabolism in patients with vascular dementia (VD) by cerebral functional imaging technique. Methods: Twenty-five patients with VD were divided into 5 groups (Group A, B, C, D and E) randomly. Patients in the Group A were treated by needling routine acupoints for hemiplegia (Acupoints of the three yang meridians of hand and foot), and besides the routine acupoints, patients in the Group B were treated by needling Baihui(GV 20), the Group C by Shuigou(GV 26), the Group D by Shenmen(HT 7), and the Group E by Baihui(GV 20), Shuigou(GV 26), and Shenmen(HT 7). All the patients were examined by Positron Emission Tomography (PET) to detect the cerebral glucose metabolism in the bilateral frontal lobes(orbital gyri), parietal lobes, temporal lobes(hippocampus and hippocampal gyrus), occipital lobes, thalamus, lentiform nucleus, caudate nuclei, cingulate gyms and cerebellum before treatments and after treatments. Results: After needling the routine acupoints for hemiplegia, glucose metabolism increased in lentiform nucleus and temporal lobe;needling Baihui(GV 20), increased in frontal lobe, temporal lobe and lentiform nucleus;needling Shuigou(GV 26), increased in frontal lobe, thalamus and lentiform nucleus; needling Shenmen(HT 7), increased in parietal lobe and lentiform nucleus; and needling these three acupoints, increased in frontal lobe, temporal lobe, thalamus and lentiform nucleus. Conclusion:Needling Baihui(GV 20), Shuigou(GV 26) and Shenmen(HT 7) affect glucose metabolism in different functional regions of the brain, and Baihui(GV 20), Shuigou(GV26) and Shenmen(HT 7) relate to different functional regions of the brain.

Objective To discuss the value of ABCD2 score in predicting medium and long-term prognosis in patients with ischemic stroke.Methods 184 patients with ischemic stroke admitted to department of neurology from March 2014 to December 2014 were selected as the research object.According to the ABCD2 score points prior to admission, the patients were divided into 3 groups: 40 cases in the low risk group, 76 in the moderate group and 68 in the high risk group based on whether or to what extent he was able to do self care.The phone call reviews were made for the clinical symptoms of patients discharged from the hospital after six months..According to the modified Rankin scale classification standard, the patients discharged from the hospital after six months were divided into 2 groups: 126 cases in the self-care group and 56 cases in care-needing group.The groups were compared in terms of conditions.Results The self-care rate in the low risk group was 90.00%, the moderate group 77.63% and the high-risk group 45.59%.The care needing rates in the three groups was 5%, 19.74% and 48.53%, respectively.The care needing rate in the low risk group was obviously lower than that in the moderate-risk group and the high risk group (P<0.05).The care needing rate in the moderate risk group was obviously lower than that in the high risk group (P< 0.05).The self-care rates in the low risk group and the moderate group were higher than that in the high risk group (P<0.05).Conclusion The ABCD2 score has a higher predictive value for medium and long-term prognosis in patients with ischemic stroke.

Objective To investigate antibiotic resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli in old patients with lower respiratory tract infections. Methods Kirby Bauer agar diffusion method was used to evaluate the drug sensitivity in 240 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli isolated from patients with lower respiratory tract infection. Phenotypic confirmatory test recommended by NCCLS1999 was used to detect extended spectrum beta lactamases(ESBLs). Results The resistant rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli to 14 antibiotics in old patients and in non old patients with lower respiratory tract infections were amoxicillin 93 2% vs 87 3%, piperacillin 57 1% and 42 9%, cefuroxime 51 4% and 33 3%, cefotaxime 40 1% and 17 5%, ceftazidime 13 6% and 3 2%, ceftriaxone 39 0% and 17 5%, cefoperazone 37 3% and 15 9%, cefepime 10 2% and 3 2%, amikacin 47 5% and 34 9%, ciprofloxacin 54 2% and 38 1%, imipenem 0, cefoperazone/sulbactam 0, piperacillin/tazobactam 1 1% vs 0, and cefmetazole 9 6% and 4 8% respectively. Out of 240 clinical strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, 78(32 5%) were considered ESBLs producers by phenotypic confirmatory test. The prevalence of ESBLs in old patients was 38 4%, which was much higher than that in non old patients(15 9%). The resistant rate of ESBLs producing strains to imipinem, cefoperazone/sulbactam, piperacillin/tazobactam and cefmetazole was the lowest, being 0, 0, 2 6% and 12 8%. Conclusions The resistant rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli to most antibiotics and the prevalence of ESBLs in old patients with lower respiratory tract infection were higher than that in non old patients. Imipinem, cefoperazone/sulbactam, piperacillin/tazobactam and cefmetazole were the effective antibiotics to infections caused by ESBLs producing strains.
