Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2015;(6):524-526
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in treating functional dyspepsia. Method Sixty-eight patients with functional dyspepsia were randomized into an acupuncture group and a control group. The acupuncture group was intervened by matrix needling, once a day, 8 d as a course, with a 2-day interval between two courses, for successive 4 weeks. The control group was prescribed with Motilium at 10 mg, 3 times a day, for successive 4 weeks. Result The total effective rate was 91.4% in the acupuncture group versus 87.9% in the control group, and the difference was statistically insignificant (P>0.05); there was a significant difference in abdominal pain score between the two groups (P<0.05), indicating that the acupuncture group should be superior to the control in releasing abdominal pain. Conclusion The overall efficacies in treating functional dyspepsia are equivalent between the acupuncture group and control group, but the acupuncture group is better than the control in releasing pain. Therefore, compared to medicine, acupuncture has advantage in treating functional dyspepsia.

9.Core knowledge and skill-based approach to subspecialty construction in critical/intensive care medicine with distinct Chinese peculiarity
Chinese Critical Care Medicine 2017;29(6):556-559
With the rapid development of critical care medicine (CCM) in China, there are increases in the number of intensive care units (ICUs), the scale of one center ICU and the team. Subspecialty construction of CCM is of great concerns for personnel training as well as discipline development, and is currently one of the urgent problems that need to be resolved. Experience of CCM subspecialty construction from Europe and the United States is lacking and it is necessary to propose some opinions on innovation to construct CCM subspecialties with Chinese characteristics. We believe that CCM sub-specialties construction should be based on the core knowledge (pathophysiology) and skill (organ monitoring and support). The following 7 sub-specialties can be set up: ① acute lung injury and mechanical ventilation; ② shock, hemodynamic monitoring and treatment; ③ acute kidney injury and blood purification; ④ sepsis and anti-infective therapy; ⑤ stress, sedation and analgesia; ⑥ nutrition and metabolic support; ⑦ coagulation, immune and inflammation. The core knowledge and skills of critical care medicine will constantly be updated and enriched. Therefore, sub-specialty settings should be constantly updated as well.
10.Application of transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasound OmniView sonography in the diagnostic value of congenital uterine malformation and image analysis
Chinese Journal of Medical Ultrasound (Electronic Edition) 2015;(2):122-127
Objective To summarize the sonographic features and the diagnostic value of transvaginal three dimensional OmniView sonography for congenital uterine malformation. Methods Thirty-six patients who were suspected as uterus septus on transvaginal two-dimensionalultrasound (2D US) were examined by transvaginal three dimensional ultrasound (3D US) of OmniView. The coronal plane images were acquired. The fundus,cavity and cervix of the uterus were analyzed. The depths of fundal cleft were measured.In comparison with the test results of hysterosalpingography (HSG), hysteroscopy, hysteroscopy combined with laparoscope or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the sonographic features and the diagnostic value of transvaginal three dimensional OmniView sonography were summarized. Results Among the 36 cases underwent transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasound (3D US), 16 cases were diagnosed as incomplete septate uterus, 5 cases as complete septate uterus, 5 cases as arcuate uterus, 4 cases as bicornuate uterus, 4 cases as gemini and 2 cases as unicornuate uterus. The results of all 36 cases were confirmed by surgery or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The sonographic features of transvaginal three dimensional OmniView sonography:(1) Twenty-one septate uterus had convexes (in 12 cases) or minimally depressed fundus (in 9 cases, depth of cleft ≤ 1.0 cm) and had Y-shaped (16 incomplete septate uterus without septum extending into cervix) or V-shaped cavity (5 complete septate uterus with septum extending into cervix). (2) Five arcuate uterus had an obtuse angle at the central point of septum. (3) Four bicornuate uterus had fundal depression more than 1.0 cm and were divided into two cornuas. (4) Four gemini had two complete uterus and cervix. (5) Two uterus unicornis had single endometrial and smaller than normal. Conclusions Transvaginal 3D OmniView sonopgraphy of uterine may display a good coronal plane, on which the relationship of the cavity and the fundus, the depth of fundal cleft and the angle at the central point of the septum can be well depicted and measured. It is a practical, reliable and noninvasive method, and superior to 2D US in the diagnostic classification of complex uterus malformation.
