Objective: By sorting and analyzing pertinent modern studies targeting auricular point therapy treating primary insomnia (PI), to summarize the point selection rules and clinical efficacy of using auricular points alone or combining it with other therapies in treating PI. Methods: A search on China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Academic Journal Full-text Database (Wanfang), Chongqing VIP Database (CQVIP), PubMed, Springer and Ovid were conducted from January 1, 1998 till January 31, 2020. Point selection, diagnostic criteria and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) in the eligible studies were analyzed and summarized. Results: The difference in PSQI before and after using auricular point therapy alone was more significant than that of using Chinese medication alone (P<0.05), but less significant than that of combining auricular point therapy and acupuncture-moxibustion and Chinese therapeutic massage (tuina) (P<0.05). In the included studies, Shenmen (TF4) was the most commonly used (370 times), followed by Heart (CO15), which was 344 times, and Subcortex (AT4), which was 325 times. In terms of auricular points distribution, points in the auricular concha were the most commonly used (1500 times), followed by those in the antitragus (474 times) and triangular fossa (387 times). Correlation analysis showed that Shenmen (TF4) and Liver (CO12), Sympathetic (AH6a) and Heart (CO15) were used together more often, followed by Shenmen (TF4), Liver (CO12), Spleen (CO13), Kidney (CO10) and Subcortex (AT4), and then Shenmen (TF4), Liver (CO12), Sympathetic (AH6a), Subcortex (AT4) and Heart (CO15). Cluster analysis showed that the auricular points used for PI can be divided into 6 clusters in 2 major groups. One group was Heart (CO15), Subcortex (AT4), Shenmen (TF4), Sympathetic (AH6a), Spleen (CO13), Kidney (CO10), Liver (CO12) and Endocrine (CO18); the other was Occiput (AT3), Stomach (CO4), Pancrease-gallbladder (CO11), Chuiqian (LO4), Small Intestine (CO6), Central Rim (AT2,3,4i) and Sanjiao (CO17). In terms of patterns in traditional Chinese medicine, the pattern of dual deficiency of heart and spleen accounted for the largest proportion in the studies of using auricular points alone or combining it with other treatments to treatment PI, and then it was the pattern of liver depression transforming into fire. Conclusion: In treatment of PI with auricular points alone or combo therapy involving auricular points, Shenmen (TF4) was commonly used, and the commonly used point group consisted of Shenmen (TF4), Liver (CO12), Sympathetic (AH6a) and Heart (CO15). Auricular point therapy can be taken as a complementary therapy in treating PI.

Objective To investigate the immunophenotype characteristics,the clinical significance of CD28 and International staging system in multiple myeloma (MM).Methods BM aspirate samples from 49 newly diagnosed MM patients and 22 patients after treatment were assessed using 4 color flow cytometric analyses.These MM patients were classified according to International staging system and the consolidated risk staging system,and the survival rates and treatment efficiency of 2 staging system were compared.Results The higher stage,according to the international staging system,the lower treatment efficiency [the efficacy rates of Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ stage were 83.3 ％ (4/6),38.5 ％ (5/13),38.5 ％ (5/13),36.5 ％ (19/52)](x2 =4.235,P =0.04),and the survival and progression-free survival time of high-risk group were significantly shortened (P ＜ 0.05).The rate of CD28 abnormal expression was no significant different between the initial and the treatment group [27 (55.1％),14 (63.4 ％)],also similar in the impact of survival and progression-free survival time (P ＞ 0.05).According to the consolidated risk staging system,the treatment efficiency,the survival and progression-free survival time of high-risk group were significantly shortened than the low ones (P =0.040).Conclusions The patients with higher ISS stage,abnormal expression of CD28,and high-risk group have poor prognosis.

Objective:To describe the doctors' satisfaction of the doctor-patient relationship and find out the influencing factors of the patients,gathering evidence to improve the doctor-patient relationship.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study,in which doctors and nurses in 10 hospitals of Beijing,Shandong and Chongqing were surveyed with structured questionnaires and in-depth interviews.Results:The mean score of the doctors' satisfaction of the doctor-patient relationship was 59.97,which was much lower than the patients'.The patients' socio-demographic characteristics,social economic status(SES) and behavior characteristics influence the interaction of the doctors and the patients.The doctors' satisfaction of the doctor-patient relationship was influenced by the patients' trust.Conclusion:The doctors' perspective is helpful to define the tension and the cause of the doctor-patient relationship.The patients' characteristics have important influence on the doctor-patient relationship.It's necessary to take action on the patients to improve the doctor-patient relationship.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of orlistat combined with low calorie diet in the treatment of obesity with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Methods Orlistat 120 mg, three times a day, combined with low calorie diet for a cause of 24 weeks, were given to the 60 non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients whose body mass index (BMI) were between 27 and 40. Results ①The percentage of mean weight loss and mean decreased BMI were both (10.76? 4.52 )% of their initinal weight at 24 weeks treatment. ②ALT, AST, GGT and total bilirubin was significantly decreased ( P

Objective:To establish the sensitive,specific,stable and convenient sgp130 ELISA kit.Methods:The mAb T2 against human gp130 was used as coating antibody;the other mAb T12 recognized different epitope with T2 was labeled by biotin,then a ELISA kit for detecting sgp130 was set up.Results:sgp130 ELISA kit is successfully established and its sensitivity is 10 ng/ml.After the kit is placed in 4℃ for 3 months,the kit's CV is less than ?7.6% and the retrievable rate is 95%～111%.These indicate that it has highly sensitivity,stability and accuracy.The normal serum concentration of sgp130 in healthy donors is 536.92～287.88(ng/ml),but there is higher in patients with hyperthyroidism(937.16?217.5) and chronic nephritis(806.45?138.47).Significant difference is found comparing with normal control(P

ve To improve the method of determination of aluminium in water. Methods The method of aluminium chrome azurol S-cetylpyridinium bromide spectrophotometry was used. Results The improved determi-nation of aluminium revealed perfect linear relationship in determining the standard aluminium solution series at the range of 0. 0-6.0?g/25 ml aluminium. The regression equation was calculated as y = 1. 031x + 0. 008(r=0.9994) . The detection limit was 0.02 mg/L aluminium. The coefficient variation was below 4.90% . The recovery rate ranged from 93.3% to 100.0% . Conclusion The improved method was rapid and easy to operate, suitable for determination of Al3+ in a large number of water samples.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of citalopram alone and citalopram combined with psychotherapy in patients with postpartum depression. Methods:Fifty-eight women who met CCMD-3 criteria for postpartum depression were randomly assigned to 2 groups. Group A was treated with citalopram 20mg daily alone, group B with citalopram 20mg daily combined with psychotherapy, both for six weeks. Hamilton rating scale (HAMD) was evaluated at baseline and after 1, 2, 4 and 6 weeks of treatment. Results:HAMD scores were decreased with statistical significance since week 1 in group A and since week 2 in group B. At different time points the HAMD scores in group A were lower than those in group B with statistically significant difference. Conclusion: Citalopram combined with psychotherapy was more effective than citalopram alone in the treatment of postpartum depression.
