Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of reinforcing and reducing by acupuncturing at lower He-sea points along and against channel's direction in treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).Method Sixty-one GERD patients were randomized into a treatment group of 34 cases and a control group of 27 cases. The treatment group was intervened by reinforcing and reducing by acupuncturing at lower He-sea points along and against channel’s direction, while the control group was treated with oral administration of Omeprazole tablets. The two groups were intervened once a day, 4 weeks in total. The clinical efficacies in the two groups were compared based on the symptoms scores before and after the treatment.Result The total effective rate was 97.1% in the treatment group versus 85.2% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The relapse rate 6 months after the treatment was 16.7% in the treatment group versus 50.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Reinforcing and reducing by acupuncturing at lower He-sea points along and against channel’s direction is an effective approach in treating GERD.

Objective To observe the effect Azithromycin injection in the treatment of mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia ( MPP) in children. Methods Forty-four children of mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia were randomly divided into two groups, the Azithromycin group ( treat by Azithromycin, made by Pfizer) and the control group (treat by domestic Azithromycin) respectively. Improvement in symptoms and signs between the two groups were observed and compared. Results There were 25 cases in the Azithromycin group, of which,after a week, 17 cases cured,2 cases got better significantly and 6 cases got better. The effective ratio was 76. 00% ( 19/25 ). There were 19 cases in the control group, of which 5 cases cured, 9 cases got better significantly ,4 cases got better and 1 case no change. The effective ratio was 73. 68% (14/19). There was no statistical significance in the effective ratio between the two groups ( x2 = 0. 03, P > 0. 05). However, the Azithromycin group was superior to the control group both in the one week cure rate (t = 7.50,P< 0.05) and on defervescence time (t = 34. 05, P < 0. 05 ) and rales disappearance (t = 2. 39, P < 0. 05 ). Conclusion Azithromycin injection is more effective than domestic Azithromycin in the treatment of mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia,especially in the aspect of improving symptoms.

The central distribution of visceral primary afferent fibers from greater splanchnic nerve of the cat have been studied. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) dissolved in distilled water was injected into the coeliac ganglion or greater splanchnic nerve unilaterally. The HRP was taken up by afferent fibers and transported across the spinal ganglia and then anterogradely as far as central terminals in the spinal cord and medulla. The HRP reaction-product within the central processes of the primary sensory neurons was detected ipsilaterally in the Lissauer's tract, dorsal funiculus and spinal gray matter. After entering the spinal cord via the spinal dorsal roots, the great majority of labeled fibers (viz. the central processes of primary sensory neurons) were found to run longitudinally within the zone of Lissauer, and only sparse fibers to ascend in the dorsal funiculus. The medial projection fibers (MPF) and lateral projection fibers (LPF) arose periodically from the labeled fiber bundle in the Lissauer's tract to form a thin shell surrounding both the medial and lateral sides of the dorsal horn. The terminal areas of the more prominent LPF were found at laminae I, V, VII and the region surrounding the central canal, whereas the MPF ended at the medial part of lamina V and lamina X. Some smaller fiber bundles from LPF were seen to enter the cell clusters of the intermediolateral nucleus, where these fibers divided rostrocaudally and ran parallel with the longitudinal dendritic branches of the intermediolateral cells. The few labeled fibers located at the dorsal funiculus were traced to the lower medulla and the distinct terminal area of them was situated in the ventrolateral part of the nucleus gracilis at the level below the obex.

Objective:
To systematically evaluate the relationship between neck circumference and hypertension of primary and secondary school students.
Methods:
Web of science, PubMed, Scopus, CNKI and WanFang databases were searched by computer, and the retrieval time was from inception to December 2019. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted the data and evaluated the quality, and then performed Meta-analysis using Stata 14.0 software.
Results:
A total of 8 studies were included, including 20 475 subjects. Meta-analysis results showed that the risk of hypertension increased by 35% in people with a high neck circumference compared with the normal population(OR=1.35, 95%CI=1.20-1.51, P<0.01). The results of subgroup analysis showed that the correlation between neck circumference and hypertension of obese primary and secondary school students was 1.41 times higher than that of normal weight students(OR=1.41, 95%CI=1.23-1.61, P<0.01). The correlation between the neck circumference and the risk of hypertension of primary and secondary school students in Europe and America was more significant than that in Asia(OR=1.31, 95%CI=1.11-1.53, P=0.01). When the mean value of neck circumference was greater than 28.5 cm(OR=1.29, 95%CI=1.02-1.64, P=0.03), it was associated with the incidence of hypertension.
Conclusion
The neck circumference of primary and middle school students is related to the risk of hypertension, especially in obese people. Blood pressure monitoring and health education should be strengthened to prevent hypertension.

Objective To investigate the value and diagnostic efficiency of the quantitative dynamic contrast enhanced-magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) parameters using three dimention (3D)-histogram analysis for discriminating the Gleason score (GS) of prostate cancer. Methods A total of 53 patients pathologically confirmed as prostate cancer by systemic prostate biopsy who had routine , DCE and DWI-MRI scans were retrospectively analyzed. There were 15 cases for low-risk and 38 cases for intermediate/high-risk prostate cancer. The 3D ROI of all lesions based on T2WI was achieved by image registration to get the quantitative parameters of DCE-MRI and DWI-IVIM. The parameters of DCE-MRI contains: transfer constant (Ktrans), rate constant (Kep) and extracellular-extravascular volume fraction (Ve).The DWI-IVIM related quantitative parameters were ADC, diffusion coefficient (D), diffusion coefficient related to perfusion (D*) and perfusion fraction (f). Then the histogram analysis of these quantitative parameters was performed to get the mean, median, 25th percentile, 75th percentile, Skewness and Kurtosis. Using the Spearman rank correlation analysis to evaluate the correlation of these parameters and GS of prostate cancer. The diagnostic performance of these quantitative histogram parameters related to the GS in identifying low-risk and intermediate/high-risk of prostate cancer was carried by ROC. Results The Kep and Ktrans (mean, median, 25th, 75th) of DCE-MRI were positively correlated with GS (r value was 0.346 to 0.696, P<0.05). The ADC (mean, median, 25th, 75th), D (mean, median, 25th, 75th, Skewness, Kurtosis) and D*(25th) of DWI-IVIM were correlated with GS (r value was-0.544 to 0.428, P<0.05). The DCE-MRI quantitative parameters Kep (25th) had the highest area under curve (AUC, 0.961); The ADC (median) and D (25th) had higher AUC( 0.832, 0.888) in the quantitative parameters of DWI-IVIM, the difference between Kep(25th) and ADC (median) was statistically significant (Z value was 2.212, P value was 0.027). The difference of AUC between Kep (25th) and D (25th), D (25th) and ADC (median) was not statistically significant (Z values were 1.027 and 1.398, P values were 0.162 and 0.304, respectively).Conclusion DCE and IVIM quantitative parameters (Kep, Ktrans, ADC, D) histogram analysis results are correlated with GS, and can be used for distinguishing low-risk from intermediate/high-risk prostate cancer.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the characteristics and clinical outcome of T315I mutation in Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph(+) ALL) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).
METHODSThe clinical data of 118 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) resistant Ph(+) ALL and CML cases who were detected ABL kinase domain mutation in Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March 2014 to June 2015 were collected. Karyotypes and BCR-ABL fusion gene were analyzed respectively by R-banding, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Total RNA was extracted by TRIzol reagent and ABL kinase domain mutation was detected by direct sequencing.
RESULTSIn 23 TKIs resistant Ph(+) ALL and 95 CML cases, the rate of ABL kinase domain mutation was 60.9% (14/23) and 41.1% (39/95), respectively, and the rate of T315I mutation was respectively 34. 8% vs 5.3%, the difference was significant (χ(2)=13.586, P<0.01). The rate of mutations in chronic phase/accelerate phase /blast crisis CML patients was 38.8% (19/49), 47.1% (8/17) and 41.4% (12/29), respectively, and there was no significant difference (χ(2)=0.360, P=0.835). In Ph (+) ALL and CML patients, the median time from the beginning of TKI therapy to appearance of T315I mutation was 10 months and 19 months, the median time from the appearance of T315I to death/deadline was 2 months and 3 months, the median time of persistent hematologic response was 10 months and 16 months and the median time of overall survival (OS) was 13 months and 42 months.
CONCLUSIONT315I mutation was more easily occurred in Ph(+) ALL than CML, but two diseases are similar in the median time from the beginning of TKI therapy to appearance of T315I, the median time of persistent hematologic response and OS.
