[Objective]To explore the therapeutic effect of Shenmai injection on hemorheology and arterial blood gas in patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease.[Methods]Eighty patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease were randomly divided into two groups: Shengmai group and control group.Determine blood viscosity,hematocrit,arterial blood gas and length of stay in two groups before and after the treatment respectively.[Results]Blood viscosity,hematocrit,arterial blood gas and length of stay in Shengmai group were markedly improved compared with that in control group.[Conclusion]Shengmai Injection could promote patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease recovery by improving blood viscosity and arterial blood gas.

The academic contribution of HUA Tuo to acupuncture, such as HUA Tuo Jiaji points, the drawing of viscera and channels, "diagnosis by observing the eyes", focusing on the clinical application of moxibustion, being the first to treat headache with Geshu (BL 17), selecting essential acupoints and paying attention to spirit management, etc. were summarized in this paper. It was believed that HUA Tuo made an outstanding contribution to acupuncture, which still had important guiding significance and academic value for clinical acupuncture and research work.

Objective To investigate the different gender and untreated hyperthyroidism parameter difference (hyperthyroidism) and hemoglobin of red blood cells in peripheral blood of patients with relatively healthy people.Methods Collecting blood samples of patients with hyperthyroidism,with EDTA-K2 anticoagulant,using Sysmex XE-2100 automated hematology analyzer analysis of peripheral blood hemoglobin in red blood cell parameters and using healthy people as healthy control.Results Healthy control group,male,female red blood cells and hemoglobin in patients with hyperthyroidism were increased,the difference was statistical-ly significant (P <0.05).Conclusion Newly diagnosed hyperthyroidism value and erythrocyte hemoglobin values higher than nor-mal.

Objective] This paper aims to excavate the acupuncture clinical characteristics of Hua Tuo and its clinical value, in order to promote the inheritance and development of acupuncture and moxibustion science. [Methods] To summarize the acupuncture clinical characteristics of Hua Tuo through arranging and epurating from classical books which recording about Hua Tuo. [Results] The clinical characteristics in acupuncture of Hua Tuo are scattered in several classic medical or non-medical books, including Records of Three Kingdoms, History of the Later Han Dynasty, Hua Tuo Biography, Zhongzang Canon, Internal Illumination Method, Hua Tuo Shen Yi Mi Chuan, Prescriptions for Emergent Reference and so on. The acupuncture clinical characteristics of Hua Tuo are shown in several aspects:choose the best acupoints and pay attention to spirit management, not constrained by Yellow Emperor ’s Canon of Medicine and set up Hua Tuo Jiaji Point, advocate moxibustion and good at treatment of emergency, apply moxibustion according to the condition and pay attention to dosages of moxibustion, skillfully acupuncture manipulation and familiar under the needle;combined acupuncture and moxbustion and flexible application. [Conclusion] Hua Tuo had distinct characteristics in acupoint selection, mental state regulation, acupuncture manipulation, moxibustion method and so on, and played guiding role on contemporary acupuncture clinical and research work.

With deep acupuncture at Baliao points (eight sacral foramina) as the core, Professor WANG Ling-ling has treated diseases of urinary, digestive and reproductive systems with superior therapeutic effect. The key for efficacy of Baliao points is deep acupuncture. Only deeply insert into acupoints with long needles and directly stimulate at sacral nerves, could Baliao points play a superior role in treatment effect. Searching acupoints is the basis of deep acupuncture, and superficial anatomy should be combined to summarize the methods of searching Baliao points. The premise of deep acupuncture is needling manipulation. The angles of needles must be adjusted according to morphological features of posterior sacral foramina, or it is hard to practice deep acupuncture into Baliao points. The description of location and manipulation on Baliao points in ancient and modern literature was vague, which restricts clinical application of Baliao points. A lot of research on location, manipulation and clinical application of Baliao points has performed by Professor WANG Ling-ling, and its manipulation and clinical cases are introduced to make a positive effect on its application and popularization.

WANG Ji's opinion on moxibustion therapy in Questions and answers of acupuncture and moxibustion (Zhenjiu Wendui) was explored and analyzed. With his two contraindications of moxibustion as breakthrough points, the arrangement and discussion was performed. The results showed that based on summary of moxibustion treatment theory before Ming dynasty, WANG Ji could provide characteristic idea, which is of great reference value and guide significance to the inheritance and development of moxibustion.

Objective The aim of this study was to explore the effect of androgen deficiency on serum hormone levels, visceral fat accumulation and inflammatory gene expression in miniature pigs fed a high-fat diet ( HFD) . Methods Sexually mature male Chinese Wuzhishan miniature pigs were divided into three groups ( animals/group) as follows:intact male pigs ( SHAM) , castrated male pigs ( CAS) and castrated male pigs plus testosterone treatment ( CAS+T) . The pigs were fed a HFD diet for 12 weeks. Serum levels of testosterone and leptin were measured and visceral fat were dissected and weighted. qRT?PCR was performed to determine the mRNA expression levels of lipogenic, lipolysis and inflammation relat?ed genes. Results (1) Serum testosterone levels were significantly decreased but serum leptin levels were significantly in?creased in the castrated pigs. These effects were recovered after testosterone treatment. ( 2 ) Visceral fat percentage was significantly increased in the castrated pigs, and testosterone treatment reduced the increased visceral fat in the castrated pigs. (3) Castration and testosterone treatment had no significant effects on the expression levels of lipogenic genes (FAS and ACC) and lipolysis genes (HSL and ATGL) in pigs fed a HFD. (5) Castration significantly induced the expressions of inflammatory genes including Leptin, CD68, CCL16, CCL23 and SAA, and testosterone treatment recovered the expres?sions of the above genes in the castrated pigs. Conclusions Castration?induced testosterone deficiency promotes visceral fat accumulation and upregulates the expression levels of inflammatory genes in miniature pigs fed a HFD. Moreover, tes?tosterone treatment ameliorates castration?induced visceral fat accumulation and inflammatory response in HFD?fed pigs.

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) has been widely applied in clinical study of acupuncture and moxibustion, and the real-world study (RWS) has gradually become an important way of clinical research in the world in recent years. It is worthy of our in-depth study and discussion that how to evaluate the advantages and limitations of EBM and RWS as well as their reasonable application in clinical study of acupuncture and moxibustion. The characteristics and difference between RWS and EBM, and the situation of acupuncture clinical research methods are discussed in this paper. It is proposed that we should understand the advantages of RWS in acupuncture clinical research, fully realize the limitations of EBM and RWS, recognize the complexity and particularity of RWS, and apply EBM and RWS into acupuncture clinical research. Meanwhile acupuncture clinical manipulation standardization should be further promoted, which is benefit to develop clinical study, improve clinical efficacy and promote the popularization of acupuncture and moxibustion.
