To investigate the therapeutic effect of primary refractory trigeminal neuralgia. Methods: Twenty-eight cases of primary trigeminal neuralgia were treated by point penetrating injection plus ear pressing, controlled by 28 cases treated only by acupuncture.Results: The total effective rate was 96.43% in observation group and 78.57% in control group.There wasa significant difference in the total effective rate between the two groups (P＜0.05).Results: Point penetrating injection plus ear pressing is the effective method in treating primary trigeminal neuralgia.

Bronchial asthma,a complex genetic disease,is influenced by environmental factors.As a connection of genetic susceptibility factors and environmental factors,the role of epigenetics in the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma is attracting more attention.DNA methylation,the most common form of epigenetic modifi-cations,can be influenced by the environment and dietary factors,thereby have an effect on the differentiation of CD4 +T lymphocyte,promoting the development of asthma.

[Objective]To evaluate the clinical effect of the plastic splint on treatment of Colles fracture.[Method]A total of 105 patients with Colles fracture were collected between September 2002 and August 2008.All patients were perfromed using the plastic splint afrer diaplasis.According to Gartland and Werley scoring syste,the function of wrist was evaluated after 3 months.[Result]There are only 2 cases losing during treatment,103 cases were finished.The average excellent to good case was 90.3%,including 80 cases of being excellent,13 of being good,7 of being fair and 3 of being poor.[Conclusion]The plastic splint is exactly effective to treatment Colles fracture,especially,it could effectively relieve swelling and improve the contour of the wrists.Theses all rely on reasonable biomechanics design.

Ninety-eight patients of facial paralysis were treated by acupuncture plus microwave irradiating the postauricle area and Ashi point. After 3 courses of treatment, 71 cases were cured, 26 cases got improvement and 1 case obtained no effect.

BACKGROUND:Recently, the effects of lumbar facet joint morphology on the onset of degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis have been a discussion point. However, the discussion mainly concerned CT manifestations of joint angle and osteoarthritis. Studies have shown that the changes in cross-sectional area of paraspinal muscle were considered as the essential marker for the pathological diagnosis of degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis. However, previous studies limited the accuracy of the conclusion due to smal sample size, young age, and measurement.
OBJECTIVE:To observe changes in MRI images of bilateral paraspinal muscles after degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis.
METHODS:This study adopted the method of retrospective study, selected 80 cases of degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis as lumbar spondylolisthesis group, and 80 healthy persons as control group. Image J software was utilized to measure cross-sectional areas of bilateral erector spinae and psoas major muscle on the L 3-5 vertebral endplate levels using T2-weighted MRI in both groups. The ratio of relevant data was calculated.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the ratio of cross-sectional area of paraspinal muscle was increased on the same side and the same level in the lumbar spondylolisthesis group (P<0.05), and the mean value of cross-sectional area of bilateral psoas major muscle was decreased on the same level (P<0.05). No significant difference in the mean value of cross-sectional area of left and right erector spinae was detected on the same level (P>0.05). Results indicated that the changes in cross-sectional area of paraspinal muscle could induce degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis, and could be considered as a diagnostic standard for degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis.

Objective To find a new method for quality control of polysaccharides by establishing the fingerprint profiles of polysaccharides extracted from Guifu Dihuang Wan. Methods The polysaccharides extracted from Guifu Dihuang Wan were hydro-lyzed partially under appropriate hydrolysis condition with acid,and the fingerprint profiles of the hydrolyzates was obtained by HPLC. Microsoft Excel 2002 was applied for calculating the similarity of fingerprint profiles,and informatton analysis of these profiles was performed by a software for evaluating fingerprint profiles of traditional Chinese medicine. Results Fingerprint profiles of the hydroly-zates of polysaccharides from 10 of Guifu Dihuang Wan products,produced by different manufacturers,were obtained. It was observed that the similarity of eight products was greater than 0.99,while the similarity of the other two was 0.92 and 0.94,respectively. Con-clusion This method is technically feasible for the quality control of polysaccharides from Guifu Dihuang Wan.

Objective To realize scientific allocation of medical monitors in clinical departments by evaluating quantitatively their social and economic benefits.Methods Analyses were executed on social and economic benefit indexes,including number or times of patients involved,utility time,volatility of utilization rate (VOUR),payback period and investment yield.Results Totally 457 monitors were involved in the study from January to June 2015,and the monitors had the number or times of patients being 20,utility time being 383 h,VOUR lower than 10％ (except that of February),mean payback period being 0.64 a and yearly mean investment yield being 137％.Conclusion The monitor has to be allocated by the equipment division in case of low social benefit.In case of high social benefit while low economic benefit,the monitor manufactured in China gains advantages due to short payback period,high investment yield and long free warranty time.The foreign monitor with specific function has to be selected in case of high social and economic benefits as well as requirements on special function.

The most radiation exposure for children arises from the medical process, and due to their characteristics such as relatively immature,organ development,they are more sensitive to the radiation than a-dults,and have higher risk of radiation related diseases,so medical radiation exposure should not be ignored.

Objective To study the mechanism of liver-qi stagnation syndrome of rat models. Methods The binding method was used to make rat models of liver-qi stagnation syndrome and the quantitative changes of hypothalamus norepinephrine (NE), epinephrine (E), dopamine (DA), and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) before and after modeling were determined with reversed phase ion pair (RP-IP)-HPLC. Results The level of E, DA and 5-HT was remarkably increased (P

Objective To investigate the value of multi-slice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) in diagnosing gastric cancer. Methods The MSCT signs of 48 gastric cancers proved histologically were evaluated retrospectively. Results The main CT signs included thickening of gastric wall and mass.The lesion showed marked enhancement in the arterial and portal venous phases, and 35 cases showed marked enhancement in the portal venous phase compared with the arterial phase. 12 cases had tumor invasion in the adjacent organs and lymph mode metastasis, and 11 cases had tumor distant metastasis. The accurate rate of enhancement staging was 87 5%. Conclusions MSCT enhancement scan can help us evaluate the lesion more perfectly, and also is helpful in diagnosing and staging of gastric cancer.
