Objective To obsevre the clinical efficacy of acupuncture at bilateral sphenopalatine ganglions in treating allergic rhinitis. Methods Patients with allergic rhinitis were selected, and then were randomly divided into bilateral group, unilateral group, and control group, with 35 cases in each group. By the end of the study, 5 cases of bilateral group, 3 cases of unilateral group, and 2 cases of control group were removed. The bilateral sphenopalatine ganglions were acupunctured simultaneously in bilateral group, and the unilateral sphenopalatine ganglion was treated by acupuncture in unilateral group, once a week, for 4 weeks. The control group received routine acupuncture on Yingxiang (LI20), Bitong (EX-HN8), Yintang (EX-HN3), and Hegu (LI4), twice a week, for 4 weeks. Rhinitis symptom scale and life quality of nasal conjunctival scale score before and after treatment in the three groups were observed. The clinical efficacy was evaluated and the adverse reactions were recorded. Results The total effective rates of bilateral group, unilateral group and control group were 93.33% (28/30), 90.63% (29/32) and 72.73% (24/33), respectively, and the bilateral group and unilateral group were better than the control group (χ2=19.507, P=0.001), without statistical significance between bilateral group and unilateral group (P>0.05). Rhinitis symptoms and life quality were improved in the three groups (P<0.05), and the bilateral group and unilateral group were better than the control group (P<0.05), without statistical significance between bilateral group and unilateral group (P>0.05). Only 1 case of subcutaneous hematoma showed in unilateral group. Conclusion Acupuncture at sphenopalatine ganglions has confirmed efficacy, and there is no difference in the efficacy between acupuncture on bilateral sphenopalatine ganglions and unilateral sphenopalatine ganglion.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of doxorubicin perfusion therapy on therapeutic efficacy and related indexes in patients with superficial bladder cancer underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT).METHODS:Medical records of 96 patients with superficial bladder cancer were analyzed retrospectively and divided into observation group and control group according to drug use,with 48 cases in each group.Observation group was given perfusion therapy of 0.9％ Sodium choride solution 40 mL containing 20 mg doxorubicin 7 d after surgery.Control group was given TURBT combined with equal amount of 0.9％ Sodium chloride solution.Both groups received treatment for consecutive 10 months,once a week in first 8 weeks,later once a month.The recurrence rate and disease progression of 2 groups were observed and compared,and the levels of sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1,the levels of tumor marker DKK1 and VEGF were observed before and after treatment.The occurrence of ADR was recorded.RESULTS:After 24 months of treatment,remission rate and control rate of observation group were significantly higher than control group,with statistical significance (P＜0.05).There was no statistical significance in the progressive survival rate between 2 groups (P＞0.05).Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in the levels of sICAM-1、sVCAM-1、DKK1 and VEGF between 2 groups (P＞0.05);after treatment,the levels of sICAM-1、sVCAM-1 、DKK1 and VEGF in 2 groups were significantly lower than before treatment,the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistical significance (P＜ 0.05).The recurrence rate,the incidence of frequent/urgent urination,hematuria and dysuria in observation group after treatment were significantly lower than control group,with statistical significance (P＜0.05).CONCLUSIONS:For patients with superficial bladder cancer underwent TURBT,doxorubicin perfusion therapy can significantly reduce recurrence rate,relieve tumor deterioration and reduce tumor activity with good safety.

[Objective] To explore the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of benign liver tissue ectopia in adrenal tumor, so as to improve the understanding of this disease. [Methods] We reported the data of a rare patient with ectopic liver tissue to adrenal gland admitted in the Department of Urology, Liaocheng Second Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University and discussed it in conjunction with literature. [Results] The patient was a 32-year-old male who sought medical attention for more than half a year due to elevated blood pressure and detection of a tumor in the right adrenal gland.Ultrasound and CT examinations showed a tumor in the right adrenal gland, suggesting myeloid lipoma.Laparoscopic right adrenalectomy was performed, and the postoperative pathology showed benign liver tissue ectopia in adrenal tumor, hepatocyte proliferation, steatosis, and slight lymphocyte infiltration.Immunohistochemistry suggested Hep-1 (+ ). During the follow-up of 12 months, the patient recovered well with no complications.Imaging examinations showed no signs of recurrence. [Conclusion] Benign liver tissue ectopia in adrenal tumor is very rare and is difficult to diagnose preoperatively.Diagnosis is mainly based on pathology, and surgical resection is usually chosen.
