Tongyuan needling technique is a treatment method of leading qi to its primordial location mainly through viscera back-shu points that can dredge the governor vessel and tonify the spirit and conception vessel points in abdomen and abdominal front-mu points, and according to state of illness acupoints for opening the 4 gates or five shu points are combined; reinforcing and reducing manipulations of acupuncture are applied for reference. With the method of listing cases, professor LAI Xinsheng's Tongyuan needling technique is detailedly introduced in different aspects, such as the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome infertility and male infertility and improving the success rate of test-tube baby, and the manipulation of Tongyuan needling technique is summarized, indicating that Tongyuan needling technique is worth vigorously prompting in clinical treatment of infertility.

Objective To investigate the effect of AlkB homologue 5 ( ALKBH5 ) on proliferation, cell cycle, and apoptosis of HepG2 and L-02 cells.Methods Recombinant plasmid vector containing the CDS region of ALKBH5 (pEGFP-C1b-ALKBH5) was stably transfected into HepG2 and L-02 cells.Western blotting was used to detect the expression of green fluonescence protein ( GFP )-ALKBH5.There were two groups in our experiment: GFP-ALKBH5 lentivirus group and GFP lentivirus group.Characteristics, such as proliferation, cell cycle and apoptosis of HepG2 and L-02,were detected through Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, flow cytometry and clone formation, respectively.Results The result of Western blotting revealed that ALKBH5 was efficiently up-regulated at protein levels.Despite apoptosis, phenotypic analysis revealed that the proliferation and cell phases were significantly inhibited in ALKBH5 overexpressed stable cell strains compared with the control cells (both P<0.05).Conclusion ALKBH5 can restrain fetal liver cell (L-02) and hepatocellular carcinoma cell (HepG2) from proliferating.Taken together, our results strongly suggest that ALKBH5 can play a key role in the generation and progression in HCC as a tumor suppressor.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of triple needling plus warm needling in treating chronic pelvic inflammation due to cold and damp stagnation.Method Sixty patients with chronic pelvic inflammation due to cold and damp stagnation were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 in each group. The control group was intervened by ordinary acupuncture, while the treatment group was by triple needling and warm needling in addition to the ordinary acupuncture method. The symptom and sign scores were evaluated before and after intervention, and the clinical efficacies were compared. Result The symptom and sign scores were changed significantly after intervention in both groups (P<0.01,P<0.05). After intervention, the symptom and sign score in the treatment group was significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 93.3% in the treatment group versus 80.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Triple needling plus warm needling is an effective method in treating chronic pelvic inflammation.

Objective: To examine the Quality of life among school-aged children with dyslexia in target city and to provide scientific evidence for improving the quality of life of children with dyslexia. Methods: By using cluster sampling,students from grade 3 to grade 6 from 6 primary schools in a middle-sized were selected and administered with questionnaire survey. According to the criteria of dyslexia, dyslexic children and non-dyslexic children were identified and the difference of the Quality of Life was compared. Results: Totally 3 673 children were collected, and 119 of them were identified as dyslexia(3.24%).The prevalence of dyslexia differed by gender,grades,educational level of parents(χ2=24.77,11.75,18.50,9.79,P<0.05). The Quality of Life which below the average proportion accounted for 30.3% of dyslexic children and 16.7% of normal children. Quality of life scored signiticantly different between dyslexic children and non-dyslexia children, including psychosocial functioning domain(134.54±30.88)(143.49±32.53), physical and mental health domain(2.71±0.84)(2.92±0.81) vs (2.83±0.90)(3.06±0.87), the living satisfaction domain(2.95±0.87)(3.14±0.87)(t=-6.09，-5.48，-5.44，-4.50，P<0.01),with dyslexic group significantly lower than that of non-dyslexic group. Conclusion The Quality of Life of Dyslexic children was in a poor condition.
