Objective To explore the factors related with osteoporosis in middle-aged men who accepted high education. Methods 306 men were investigated about their bone density, also their behaviors, diet, exercise and so on. Results The incidence of osteoporosis increased with the aging. The Logistic regression showed that smoking (OR=4.61) and alcohol intake (OR=1.11) were the risk factors for osteoporosis,while the milk intake (OR=0.19) and exercise (OR=0.13) were the protective factors. Conclusion The low bone mass and osteoporosis of middle-aged men accepted high education are associated with the age, smoking, alcohol or milk intake and exercise.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of acupuncture plus language function training on the recovery of language function in patients with post-stroke aphasia.MethodNinety patients were divided into an acupuncture-rehabilitation group (intervened by acupuncture plus language function training) of 30 cases, an acupuncture group (intervened by acupuncture alone) of 30 cases, and a control group (intervened by language function training alone) of 30 cases. The Western Aphasia Battery (WAB) was adopted to evaluate the language function, and also taken as criteria for diagnosis and therapeutic efficacy. The aphasia quotient (AQ), and the 4 basic language functions including spontaneous speech, auditory comprehension, repetition and nomination were observed. ResultAfter intervention, AQ, and scores of spontaneous speech, auditory comprehension, repetition and nomination increased significantly in the three groups (P<0.05,P<0.01). there were significant differences in comparing the scores of spontaneous speech, repetition and nomination between the acupuncture-rehabilitation group and the control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in comparing the indexes between the acupuncture group and control group (P>0.05).ConclusionAcupuncture plus language function training can produce a positive effect on patients with post-stroke aphasia, showing therapeutic advantage in improvingspontaneous speech, repetition, and nomination.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of moxibustion plus acupoint autohemotherapy in treating allergic rhinitis due to lung-spleen qi deficiency.MethodTotally 120 eligible subjects were divided by using the random number table into a comprehensive group, a moxibustion group and a Western medication group. The comprehensive group was intervened by moxibustion plus acupoint autohemotherapy, the moxibustion group was by moxibustion,and the Western medication group was by Loratadine tablets. The acupoint autohemotherapy was give twice a week and the rest treatments were given once a day, 7 das a course, for 4 courses in total. A follow-up study was conducted 3 months later. The clinic efficacy was evaluated before and after intervention, as well as in the follow-up study.ResultThe three groups all achieved significant short-term efficacies after intervention, and the comprehensive group was equivalent to the moxibustion group, bothsuperior to the Western medication group(P<0.05). According to the follow-up study, the long-term efficacies of the comprehensive group and moxibustion group were both significantly higher than that of the Western medication group (P<0.01,P<0.05), and the moxibustion group was superior to the comprehensive group in comparing the long-term efficacy (P<0.01).ConclusionMoxibustion plus acupoint autohemotherapy and dry moxibustion both can produce significant short-term and long-term therapeutic efficacies in treating allergic rhinitis due to lung-spleen qi deficiency. The long-term efficacy of moxibustion is higher than that of moxibustion plus acupoint autohemotherapy in treating allergic rhinitis due to lung-spleen qi deficiency. Acupoint autohemotherapy requires strict aseptic operation, which restricts its application in family healthcare. Long-term use of moxibustion can activate yang qi, and thus plays a role in preventing diseases.

OBJECTIVETo explore the diagnostic value of the radiologic characteristics of osteoporotic Kummell's disease.

METHODSTotal 16 patients with pathologically confirmed osteoporotic Kummell's diseases were reviewed from May 2010 to May 2012, including 4 males and 12 females with the mean age of 73.4 years (ranged, 67 to 83 years old). Radiologic imagings of all patients, including X-ray, CT and MRI, were analyzed retrospectively.

RESULTSIntravertebral linear clefts could be seen on the AP and lateral X-ray films of vertebrae. Sagittal and axial CT scans demonstrated the vacuum cleft phenomenon with liquid and air was identified within the vertebral body. Sagittal MRI showed the callapsed vertebral segment and the area of fluid signal with clear and intact border within the vertebral body. The fluid signal was low on T1-weighted images and high on T2-weighted images and stir images, which was corresponding to an intravertebral vacuum cleft.

CONCLUSIONThe radiologic characteristics of Kurmmell's diseases can provide valuable evidences for the early diagnosis.
