0.05).Conclusion:Ionizing radiation-induced color change combined with chrominance technique may provide a new convenient method for studying radiation absorbed dose.

Nutrition support includes three parts: supplementation, support, and therapy. When? and how? to use nutrition support which should be related with clinical outcome of the patients. Parenteral nutrition became widely accepted in the States since the presentation at American College of Surgeons Congress 1967 by Dudrick et al. More detail study of baby growth and development receiving all nutrients exclusively by vein from Wilmore et al 1968. In China, it was Jiang et al reported the clinical applications of parenteral nutrition at Surgical Congress of Chinese Medical Association 1978. Enteral elemental diet and parenteral nutrition for intestinal fistulae illness by Jiang et al 1979 which enrolled by Medline. Although nutrition support has become a standardized technology in China, but evidences on improving the patients' outcomes were still insufficient. After Kondrup et al estsblished Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 tool, the nutrition support could use an evidence-based approaching with outcome. One prospective cohort study based on hospitals in Baltimore and Beijing, using Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 as the tool, have evaluated the impact of nutritional support (both parenteral and enteral nutrition) on the infective complications among patients at nutritional risk and demonstrated that the overall incidence of complications was significantly lower in patients who had received nutritional support, which was achieved mainly due to the decline of the incidence of infective complications. Therefore, support with appropriate nutrients being necessary for patients at nutritional risks or already with malnutrition. However, more cohort studies and randomized controlled studies with larger samples are still required.

Objective To investigate the visual impairment and its rehabilitation after stroke.Methods After diagnosis of stroke by the neurologists, the patients received examinations of ocular pathology and visual function, especially in vision correction and rehabilitation. Results Five hundred and forty-seven stroke patients were recruited. 47.0% of the patients had eye alignment/movement impairment, 34.0% had visual field impairment, 19. 0% had visual perceptual difficulties and 19.9% had low vision blind. After using telescope, 35.7% blind patient's distance vision was ≥0.05; 58.2% low vision patient's distance vision was ≥0.3. After refraction (average vision:0.36±0.34 vs. 0.48 ±0.36,t =- 3.949,P=0.03) or using telescope(average vision of patients had low vision:0. 13±0. 07 vs. 0. 46±0.26,t=-5. 208,P=0.01 ;average vision of blind patients:0. 01 ±0.01 vs. 0. 06±0. 05,t = -3. 628, P= 0. 05), the improvement of vision for patients was significant.Conclusions The 72% of stroke patients has some kinds of visual impairment, which will affect not only the patients' independent living but also the clinical rehabilitation. Refraction and using telescope are effective for vision rehabilitation. Doctors should pay much attention to the visual therapy and rehabilitation for the stroke patients.

Objective To evaluate the effect of preadministration phenylephrine on the hemodynamics result from oxytocin during caesarean section.Methods One hundred parturients,ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ,with single baby at full term in vertex presentation scheduled for cesarean section under continuous epidural anesthesia were randomly divided into 4 groups,each group was 25 cases.All parturients received injection 10 U of oxytocin in the uterus after delivery,followed by an oxytocin rapid infusion of 10 U (less than 5 min),meanwhile,through the other intravenous channel,injection of phenylephrine 1 μ g/kg in group 1,2 μ g/kg in group Ⅱ,3 μ g/kg in group Ⅲ,while injection of 0.9％ sodium chloride 1 ml in groupⅣ as control.The mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heat rate (HR) at preanesthesia (T0),the time of oxytocin injection after dehvery (T1) and after oxytocin injection 30 s (T2),1 ain (T3),3 min (T4),5 ain (T5),10 min(T6) was recorded.Results There were no significant difference in MAP at T0 and clinical data among the groups (P ＞ 0.05).The level of MAP in group Ⅰ and Ⅳ at T3-T5 was significantly lower than that at T0[(82 ± 7),(79 +5),(83 ± 6) mm Hg(1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa) vs.(90 ± 7) mm Hg,(84 ±7),(76 ± 5),(82 ±7) mm Hg vs.(91 ±7) mm Hg] (P ＜0.05).The level of MAP in group Ⅲ at T2-T3 was significantly higher than that at T0[(93 ± 8),(103 ± 10)mm Hg vs.(91 ± 8) mm Hg] (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group Ⅳ,the level of MAP in group Ⅱ at T3-T5 was significantly higher,the level of MAP in group Ⅲ at T2-T5 was significantly higher,there was significant difference (P ＜0.05).The level of HR had no significant difference in T0 among the groups (P ＞ 0.05).The level of HR in four groups at T3-T5 was significantly higher than that at T0[(98 + 12),(105 + 12),(96 + 9) times/ain vs.(79 ± 8) times/ain,(89 ± 10),(96 ± 13),(92 + 12) times/min vs.(80 ± 11) times/min,(88 ± 10),(94 ± 12),(90 ± 9) times/min vs.(83 ± 10) times/min,(94 ± 12),(112 ± 13),(102 ± 1 1) times/ain vs.(82 ± 9) times/min](P ＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01),and reached to peak value at T4(P＜ 0.01),then gradually declined to the baseline values (T1) except in group Ⅳ at T6.Compared with group Ⅳ,the level of HR in group Ⅲ and group Ⅲ was significantly decreased at T4-T5(P ＜ 0.05).The rate of MAP decrease range above 30％ in group Ⅳ was 24％(6/24),and significantly higher than that in group Ⅱ (0) and group Ⅲ (0),there was significant difference(P＜ 0.05).The rate of nausea in group Ⅳ was significantly higher than that in group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ,there was significant difference (P ＜0.05).The scores of Apgar scale after delivery 1,5 min had no significant difference among four groups (P ＞0.05).Conclusion Haemodynamic stability can be obtained by administration 2 μ g/kg of phenylephrine when parturients received injection 10 U of oxytocin in the uterus after delivery,and followed by an oxytocin rapid infusion of 10 U during cesarean section.

This paper summarize the perioperative nursing of 12 newborns with thyroglossal cyst. The preoperative nursing measures focused on prone position,gastric tube feeding,close monitoring of vital signs and tracheal intubation as needed. If the TeSO2 was normal,oxygen therapy was not recommended. After the operation,continuously monitoring vital signs,respiratory care and use of sedatives as needed were carried out. As a result,all of the 12 infants recovered and discharged.

OBJECTIVETo summarize laws of acupoint selection of prescriptions for treatment of cervicogenic headache by acupuncture in modern literature.

METHODSRandomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving acupuncture and moxibustion for treatment of cervicogenic headache were recruited from CBM (1978-2012), VIP (1989-2012), Wanfang Database (1998-2012), CNKI (1979-2012), PubMed (1966-2012), EMbase (1980-2012), and Cochrane Library (Volume 4, 2012). Hand recruitment was also auxiliarily used. The frequency and percentage of common acupoints, the distribution of acupoints along 14 meridians and across each part of the body, the application of specific acupoints, and features of using prescriptions for specific acupoints were statistically described.

RESULTSTotally 37 recruited papers included 42 acupoints and 159 times. Common acupoints covered Fengchi (GB20, 28 times), Jingjiaji (EX-B2, 21 times), Baihui (DU 20, 12 times), Tianzhu (BL9, 1 times), and Ashi point (11 times). Meridians along which acupoints were used mainly covered Foot-shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, Foot-taiyang Bladder Meridian,and DU meridian. Acupoints were mainly needled from head, neck, and upper limbs. Eight confluence points and luo-connecting point were commonest used as specific acupoints. Acupuncture prescriptions were mostly composed of multiple acupoints. Filliform needle was mainly used in acupuncture methods, followed by electro-acupuncture needle.

CONCLUSIONSModern acupuncture treatment of cervicogenic headache focuses on local specific points and acupoints along meridians. Acupoints were mostly selected from head, neck, and upper limbs by syndrome typing of Chinese medicine.

The acute and chronic respiratory tract inflammation models were made to investigate the effect and mechanism of sterol extracts from Begonia Sinensis Rhizome (BSR). The first model of acute lung injury was made with Kunming mice by inhaling cigarette smoke, then the mice were treated with different concentrations of BSR sterol extracts. Lung tissue morphology was detected by HE staining, TNF-alpha/MPO were detected by Elisa, and cPLA2 protein were, detected by Western blotting respectively. Results showed that in model group, lung sheet became real, alveolar space shrank or disappeared, alveolar septum was thickened, plenty of inflammatory cells were infiltrated, capillary blood vessels were congestive and the expression of TNF-α, MPO, cPLA2 increased; after administration, a small amount of inflammatory cells were infiltrated, alveolar septum became obvious, capillary congestion status was significantly relieved and the expression of TNF-α, MPO, cPLA2 decreased (P < 0.05). The second model of chronic respiratory tract inflammation in BALB/c mice with bronchial asthma was induced by OVA, then the mice were treated with different concentrations of BSR sterol extracts. Lung tissue morphology was detected by HE staining, indexes such as IL-4, IL-5, IL-13 were detected by Elisa, and the cPLA2 protein expression was detected by Western blotting respectively. Results showed that in model group, a lot of inflammatory cells around lung vessels and bronchi exuded, bronchial goblet cells proliferated and the expression of IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, cPLA2 increased; after administration, inflammatory and goblet cell hyperplasia reduced, the expression of IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, cPLA2 also decreased (P < 0.05). The above results showed BSR sterol extracts could resist against respiratory inflammation by inhibiting cPLA2 in a dose-dependent manner.
