Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2016;23(5):708-711,712
Objective To observe and analyze the clinical effect of Modified Decoction for the treatment of lung -qi and spleen -qi deficiency syndrome in patients with stable stage of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods 86 patients with lung -qi and spleen -qi deficiency syndrome in stable stage of COPD were divided into the observation group (n =43) and control group (n =43) according to a random number table method. The control group was treated with conventional western medicine therapy,the observation group was given modified Bufei decoction treatment on the basis of western medicine treatment.The clinical therapeutic effect of two groups was assessed.Results The effective rate of the observation group was 83.72%,which was significantly higher than 72.09% of the control group,the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =3.9289,P <0.05).After treatment,the FEV1 ,FEV1 /FVC,FEV1% expected values of the two groups were significantly higher than those before treatment (t =3.6984,3.6915,3.7431,4.2675,4.6821,5.0567,all P <0.05).After treatment,the FEV1 ,FEV1 /FVC, FEV1% predicted value of the treatment group were (2.45 ±0.35)L/s,(63.91 ±7.42)%,(47.29 ±7.52),which were significantly higher than those of the control group (t =3.6884,3.7581,4.1957,all P <0.05).After treatment, the levels of IL -8 and TNF -αwere not significantly changed in the control group.The levels of IL -8 and TNF -αin the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (t =8.864,9.571,all P <0.05). Conclusion In COPD patients of stable stage with lung -qi and spleen -qi deficiency syndrome,plus or minus fill lung soup can effectively relieve clinical symptoms and improve pulmonary function of patients,reduce the acute attack,and improve the quality of life of patients,it is worthy of clinical application.
2.Relationship of Coping Style and Social Support of Students in a Foreign Language College
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2006;12(7):637-638
ObjectiveTo study the characteristics of coping style and social support of college students and the relationship between them.Methods336 students from Xi'an International Studies University was surveyed with the coping style questionnaire and the social support sale.Results and ConclusionThe social support factors of college students and problem solving factor as well as asking for help are positively correlated, but it is negatively correlated with the withdrawing factor. A significant difference is shown in the imaginative coping style and the objective supporting score between male and female students, in the problem solving factor and the imaginative coping style among students of different grades, in self-criticism and the imaginative factor among students coming from different areas, finally, in the imaginative factor and withdrawing factor between single child and non-single child of a family.

Journal of Practical Stomatology 2000;0(06):-
Objective: To clinically evaluate the efficacy of electrolyzed oxidizing water (EOW) as a root canal irrigation solution on disinfecting bacteria and removing the smear-layer to keep the non-bacterium state in the root canal. Methods: In the first experiment, 108 single-rooted teeth that needed root canal treatment were randomly divided into two groups. EOW was used as the root canal irrigation solution in the experimental group while 30 ml/L H2O2, saline solution, and 75 g/L EDTA solution were used as controls. Bacteriological examinations were conducted from each tooth before and after treatment with the root canal irrigation solutions. In the second experiment, the 20 fresh human extracted teeth were divided into two groups and treated as same as the first experiment in root canal preparation and irrigation. After irrigation, the apical canal wall was observed using SEM. Results: There was no significant difference in bacterial growth and removing the smear layer between the group using EOW and that using saline solution, 30 ml/L H2O2 and 75 g/L EDTA solution. Conclusion:The results indicate EOW is useful as a clinical root canal irrigation solution.

Objective To investigate the CT and MRI findings of trigeminal nerve tumors and relative anatomic characteristics.Methods CT and MRI findings in 17 cases of trigeminal neuroma proved surgically and pathologically were analysed.Results Of 17 cases,the tumors located in middle and posterior carnial fossa in 8 cases and 5 cases respectively,these tumors appeared as oval or lobulated structure.The tumors localized in transcranial fossa in 4 cases with dumbbell or irregular shape.CT and MRI findings were as following:(1)Higher density of tumors in 3,low density in 4,the same density with adjacent graymatter in 2 and cystic low density in 4;(2)Homogeneous and inhomogeneous low signal intensity on T_1WI in 5 and 7 respectively,homogeneous and inhomogeneous high signal intensity on T_2WI in 4 and 8 respectively;(3)Inhomogeneous and homogeneous enhancement in 10 and 7 cases respectively on CT and MRI contrast-enhanced scan;(4)The tumors grew along trigeminal nerve and across the cranial fossa with dumbbel appearance in 4,the root of trigeminal nerve were thickened and connected with the tumors body in 3,enlargement of Meckel's cave in 6;(5) The erosion of petrous bone in 3 cases clear boundary of tumors and without calcificaton or adjacent edema in 15 cases.Conclusion CT and MRI are reliable methods in diagnosing trigeminal neuroma.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of NS398,a specific cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor,on microglial activation-mediated neuronal damage.Methods The microglia of neonatal SD rat were isolated and cultured in the medium containing 1 μg/ml of LPS.The morphological changes of microglial were observed.The IL-1β and TNF-α levels were detected by Western blot in LPS group (group L) and control group (group C).The hippocampal neurons of neonatal SD rats were cultured in the control medium (group C),LPS-activated microglial conditioned medium (group L) and LPS-activated microglial conditioned medium with NS398 (group N),respectively.The survival rate of neurons were detected by MTT.The respiration of hippocampus neurons was determined by detecting the ratio of lactic acid/pyruvic acid.Results LPS-induced microglial activation was characterized by the morphological change and increased secretion of IL-1β and TNF-α.The survival rate of neurons cultured by microglia activated conditioned medium was 64.37%,while the group N was 80.25% (P<0.01).In group L,the ratio of lactic acid/pyruvic acid (27.34±8.53) was significantly higher than that of group N (20.32±6.05,P<0.01) and group C (14.95±4.72,P<0.01).Conclusion NS398,a specific cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor,has a protective effect on rat hippocampus neuron damaged by activated microglia.

Objective To establish a comprehensive evaluation system for clinical pathway quality for evaluation and verification.Methods Literature retrieval, clustering mergers and experts consultation method were used to determine indicators for clinical pathway quality evaluation, while gray correlation method was employed to calculate indicators weight coefficient and to evaluate indicators scoring,and sum indicators weighted scoring, so as to establish a clinical pathway quality comprehensive evaluation model.Indicator data of Shanghai′s 18 tertiary hospitals were used for verification.Results A total of 12 evaluation indicators, such as entry rate, mutation rate, completion rate and average length of stay were selected.After the weight calculation and grade scoring, the mathematical model of clinical pathway quality comprehensive evaluation was constructed.Data of these hospitals were put into the evaluation system for assigning ratings calculation, harvesting the overall score and ranking of each hospital.These data can help find out key management and key hospital intervention indicators in the next stage.Conclusions Different hospitals will be put on the same platform for comparison in this clinical pathway evaluation system, and the results can be quantified.The authors suggest that the next stage of health administration focus on the management of the hospitals and the key management of the sectors, making possible the prospective management of clinical pathways.
