Objective To explore the clinical effect of probiotics combined with saline enema in the treatment of infantile diarrhea and its effect on serum inflammatory factors.Methods 186 cases of infantile diarrhea were selected,they were randomly divided into three groups according to the random number table method:probiotics group,montmorillonite group and control group.Patients in probiotics group were administered with clostridium butyricum combined with saline enema,and patients in the montmorillonite group were treated by montmorillonite combined with saline enema,and the control group was given routine treatment.Then,the clinical symptom relief time,total effective rate,serum inflammatory factor concentration and adverse reaction were observed and compared.Results The total effective rate of the probiotics group was 98.39%,and that of the montmorillonite group was 96.77%,both of which were significantly better than 80.65% of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(χ2 =11.408,P =0.000;χ2 =8.432,P =0.018).After treatment,the serum levels of inflammatory factor tumor necrosis factor -α(TNF -α)in the probiotics group,montmorillonite group,control group were (8.30 ±2.33)pg/mL,(8.54 ± 2.47)pg/mL,(12.49 ±3.44)pg/mL,and the difference was statistically significant(F =5.120,P =0.014),also, the serum levels of interleukin -6(IL -6)in the three groups were (10.08 ±5.46)pg/mL,(11.24 ±5.84)pg/mL, (14.02 ±5.97)pg/mL,the difference was statistically significant(F =34.015,P =0.000).There were 2 cases of constipation in the montmorillonite group,the incidence rate was 3.23%,and there was no adverse reaction in the other two groups.Conclusion The effect of probiotics combined with saline enema in the treatment of infantile diarrhea is similar to that of montmorillonite,which can promote the children to alleviate the symptoms,shorten the length of hospital stay,reduce inflammation,and has no adverse reactions such as constipation,it is worth to be recom-mended widely for clinical application.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of tension-free vaginal tape obturator inside-outside(TVT-O)in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence.Methods In this study,we enrolled the patients with stress urinary incontinence who were treated with TVT-O(n=72)or midodrine hydrochloride(n=72).The patient self-evaluation and the Results of pad test and urodynamic test 6 and 24 months after the treatment were compared.Results These 2 kinds of treatment significantly improved the symptoms in patients with stress urinary incontinence,and in patients treated with TVT-O the clinical efficacy 24 months after the treatment was better.Conclusion TVT-O is safe and effective in treating female stress urinary incontinence,and the long-term follow-up and the improvement of urodynamic indices show it is better than simple drug treatment.

In 2010, Chinese Pharmacopoeia Committee officially enacted Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2010 edition). The Volume 1 of the pharmacopoeia is comprised of the medicinal materials and the decoction pieces, the essential oils and extracts of medicinal plants, prescription preparations and single preparation, etc., which not only provides Latin names of Chinese medicinal materials, also provided Latin names of the original medicinal plants to effectively control the quality of Chinese medicinal materials. In order to raise awareness of correctly citation and maintain the authority and standardization of Chinese Pharmacopoeia, this paper briefly describes abbreviations rules of authors' name of plant scientific name according to the 'International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, ICBN'. Through comparing with the rules of ICBN, 'Flora of China' (Chinese edition and English edition), and authority international plant catalogue databases, the authors made statistic and analysis of the non-standard cited authors' names phenomena of the original plant scientific names recorded in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2010 edition), and the revision suggestions are proposed.

Objective To observe the influence of neuregulin-1?(NRG-1?) on neuronal apoptosis and the expressions of signal transducer and activator of transcription(STAT3) and glial fiberillary acidic protein(GFAP) following cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in rats.Methods The animal models of middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion(MCAO/R) was established by the intralumianl filament method from left external-internal carotid artery in adult healthy male Wistar rats.The rat models were treated by injecting 1.5% NRG-1? 5?l from internal carotid artery.The neuronal apoptosis was detected by DendEnd fluorometric TUNEL assay,and the expressions of STAT3 and GFAP were determined by immunohistochemical and immumofluorescent assays.Results The cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury could induce neuronal apoptosis and the expressions of STAT3 and GFAP in brain tissue.In control group,the number of neuronal apoptosis increased gradually and the STAT3 and GFAP were expressed highly along ischemia times in the cortex,striatum and hippocampus areas.After treatment with NRG-1?,the number of neuronal apoptosis reduced and the expression level of STAT3 and GFAP increased when compared to those in the control group at different ischemia times and corresponding areas(P

OBJECTIVETo compare the efficacy between the reducing technique with consciousness conduction involved and the reducing technique by needle rotation of acupuncture in the treatment of lunbar strain of cold damp pattern.

METHODSOne hundred and eight patients were randomized into group A and group B, 54 cases in each one. Ashi points were the main points in the two groups. In the group A, the reducing technique with consciousness conduction involved was applied to ashi points. In the group B, the reducing technique with needle rotation was adopted. Cupping and the irradiation specific electromagnetic wave apparatus (TDP) were used in the two groups as the adjuvant therapy. The treatment was given once every two days, and 10 treatments made one session. The treatment stopped till pain disappeared. The efficacy was evaluated in 1 session of treatment. The numerical rating scale (NRS) and the Oswestry disability index (ODI) were observed before and at the end of treatment. NRS of acupuncture itself was observed at the end of treatment. The recurrence rate was compared between the two groups.

RESULTSThe curative and remarkably effective rate was 87.0% (47/54) in the group A, better than 63.0% (34/54) in the group B (P < 0.01). After treatment, NRS and ODI scores were all reduced as compared with those before treatment in the two groups (both P < 0.01). The results in the group A were better than those in the group B (both P < 0.01). Three months after treatment, the recurrence rate was 3.8% (2/52) in the group A, better than 17.7% (9/51, P < 0.05) in the group B. Pain induced by acupuncture itself was mild in the two groups and NRS score in the group A was lower than that in the group B (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONAcupuncture with the consciousness conduction involved is superior to the reducing technique with needle rotation in the treatment of lumbar strain of cold damp pattern, in which, pain induced by acupuncture itself is much milder than that induced by the reducing technique with needle rotation.

By analyzing the acupuncture taboos in Neijing (Internal Classic) on clinical application of mind conduction of acupuncture therapy in going against the actual situation, astronomy and others, it is found that the relevant acupuncture taboo implies many subtle mysteries of human body, qi, mind and astronomy, which have not been discovered yet in modern science and are very significant in qi protection. In Neijing, the acupuncture physicians have been highly required in the mind treatment, in which, accurately regulating qi circulation is the target in the treatment. The mind conduction is used for qi circulation to accomplish accurately the reinforcing or reducing in the deficiency or excess condition. All of the taboos are provided to normalize the accuracy of reinforcing and reducing technique of acupuncture therapy and avoid the damage of qi in human body. Hence, those taboos must be obeyed so as to prevent from serious consequence and ensure the safety of this acupuncture therapy.

By analyzing the articles in Huangdi Neijing (Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor), combined with the verification of consciousness in vitro in clinic and modern science, it is found Huangdi Neijing has made special requirements of treating spirit for physicians using spirit-qi acupuncture. The physicians consciously use different methods to motivate the spirit of physician and patients, especially patients, to transform it to the physiological effect of patients, which could minimize the psychological factors that make negative influence on treatment; also the psychotherapy is considered as the most important principle of treating spirit. The reinforcing and reducing methods in later generations, mainly lifting-thrusting twirling method, unintentionally lead patients into a basic or strong status of treating spirit or keeping spirit during the process of achieving stimulation and needle sensation. To partially perform the special role of treating spirit for physicians in Huangdi Neijing on patients could cause the chages including patient-based using spirit to move qi. It not only inspires the body's natural resistance to disease and self-healing, but also motivates the self-protection mechanism of keeping spirit.
