1.Progress in the diagnosis and treatment of non-responding community acquired pneumonia
Tianjin Medical Journal 2016;44(1):5-8
Non-responding pneumonia describes the situation, in which an inadequate clinical response is present de-spite antibiotic treatment. The incidence of treatment failure in community acquired pneumonia (CAP) can range up to 31%. At present, the diagnosis and treatment of this kind of disease remain a great challenge to CAP. For this reason, several stud-ies have attempted to establish risk factors and new strategies for the treatment of non-responding pneumonia. This article re-views the progress of the pathogeny and treatment of non-responding CAP.

The incidence of locally recurrent rectal cancer is about 10%. Most patients have serious symptoms after tumor recurrence, which seriously affects the quality of life and prognosis of patients. Although it is more difficult to perform reoperation, it is still the main method to treat local recurrence of rectal cancer. At present, the main methods of reoperation include transabdominal anterior resection, combined pelvic organ resection, combined pelvic organ resection, and sacral resection. Open surgery is the main method. In recent years, with the extensive development of laparoscopic technology, laparoscopic techniques have been tried at home and abroad to perform reoperations for locally recurrent rectal cancer, showing good short-term results. The authors systematically introduce the application of laparoscopic technology in the reoperation of locally recurrent rectal cancer based on relevant research advances at home and abroad, in order to explore its clinical application prospects and promotion value.

“Acupoint characteristics” has a significant influence on the study of acupoints. The description pattern of “property of Chinese medicine - function - indication” of analogy TCM put forward the description pattern of “acupoint characteristics-function-indication axis”. The study was carried out from the following three aspects:sorting, forming and improving the theories on acupoint characteristics; determining the functions according to present theories and indications of acupoints, methodizing the indications of acupoints; through functions, gradually simplifying and supplementing. Therefore, the above would make great sense to further research and systematic study and memorizing of acupoints and promoting clinical thinking about acupuncture, with a purpose to better guide clinical application.
