Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of scalp acupuncture plus body acupuncture in treating diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (D-IBS). Method Totally 122 D-IBS patients were randomized into a scalp acupuncture group (41 cases), a body acupuncture group (41 cases), and a combined group (40 cases). The scalp acupuncture group was intervened by acupuncture at the Stomach and Intestine Zones on the head; the body acupuncture group was by ordinary body acupuncture; the combined group was by both scalp acupuncture and body acupuncture. The symptom score of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was evaluated prior to the treatment, at the end of the first and second treatment courses, and after the whole intervention; the clinical efficacies were also compared among the three groups. Result The symptom scores of the combined group were significantly lower than that of the scalp acupuncture group and body acupuncture group respectively at the end of the second treatment course and after the whole intervention (P<0.05); after the whole intervention, the cured and markedly-effective rate was 62.5% in the combined group, significantly higher than 24.4% in the scalp acupuncture group and 29.3% in the body acupuncture group (P<0.05). Conclusion Scalp acupuncture plus body acupuncture can produce a satisfactory clinical efficacy in treating D-IBS, better than body acupuncture or scalp acupuncture alone; its advantages include rapid onset of action, significant effect, and reducing intestinal inflammation, etc.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational drug use in the clinic. METHODS:The calculation was carried out in type,amount and consumption sum of Chinese patent medicines containing Salvia miltiorrhiza in our hospital during 2011-2014. These data were analyzed,classified and sorted by DDDs sequence and the method of pharma-coeconomics with Excel statistically. RESULTS:The consumption sum of Chinese patent medicines containing S. miltiorrhiza took on little changes in our hospital dur-ing 2011-2014,decreasing by 10.52% in 2012 compared to 2011 but increasing by 8.49% in 2013 compared to 2012. The order of DDDs kept stable,indicating that Chinese patent medicines containing S. miltiorrhiza were used frequently in 4 year. The order of consumption sum also kept stable relatively. CONCLUSIONS:The utilization of Chinese patent medicines containing S. miltiorrhi-za in our hospital is rational. Those with suitable prices and proved efficacy take a great share in the clinical application.

Objective To evaluate the value of prenatal ultrasound in the interrupted aortic arch (IAA), and analyze the reasons of misdiagnosis and improve diagnostic ratio of this kind of defects. Methods Ultrasonic characteristics were analyzed in 16 fetuses with aortic arch anomalies, which were compared with ultrasound image and autopsy results of the normal fetus. The relativity of fetal IAA and abnormal chromosome was also analyzed. Results Among the 16 cases, 15 cases were confirmed by anatomy and the accuracy of ultrasound diagnosis was 94% (15/16), of which one case was serious constriction of aortic arch, one case was error type, three cases were obtained explicit type due to unsatisfactory results of prenatal ultrasound. The coincidence rate of ultrasonic type was 73% (11/15). All of the corrected diagnosed cases were detected with ventricular septal, of which 5 cases were detected with complete endocardial cushion defect, 9 cases were found extra cardiac malformations. Among the 7 karyotype check cases, 3 cases were diagnosed with Trisomy 18, 1 case Trisomy 13, while the rest 3 cases normal. The incidence rate of Trisomy 18 was 43 % (3/7). Conclusions Prenatal ultrasound shows a high accuracy in diagnosing fetal interrupted aortic arch (IAA ), but there’s a need to be improved in explicit typing. It is difficult to identify fetal interrupted aortic arch (IAA) and serious constriction of aortic arch (COA). The incidence rate of Trisomy 18 in the abnormal chromosome of fetal IAA is high.

Objective To design and develop a kind of venipuncture auxiliary device to use in the absence of light condition or patients with poor vein condition, and validate its clinical effect. Methods A total of 70 patients with shock were divided into experimental group (venipuncture auxiliary device group with 37 cases) and control group (non-device group with 42 cases) by random digits table method. The one-time puncture success rate and operating time were compared between two groups. Results The one-time puncture success rate was 94.59%(35/37) in experimental group and 78.57%(33/42) in control group, and there was significant difference, χ2=4.214, P<0.05. The time of establishing a single vein passage was (73.63±29.35) s in experimental group and (107.61±45.94) s in control group, and there was significant difference, t=3.656, P<0.05. Conclusions The device is small in size, low cost, easy to carry, the screen is clear, is a rapid infusion with explore vascular equipment. It can guide nurses accurately on vascular puncture, fast, smooth and effective transfusion puncture process.
