Objective: To compare the different therapeutic effects of acupuncture and Phenolphthalein for constipation due to intestinal qi stagnation. Methods:A total of 50 patients with constipation due to intestinal qi stagnation were randomly divided into an acupuncture group and a medication group by the random digital table, 25 cases in each group. The patients in the acupuncture group were treated by puncturing Gongsun (SP 4), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Taichong (LR 3), Zusanli (ST 36), Shangjuxu (ST 37), Hegu (LI 4), Lieque (LU 7), and Tianshu (ST 25), once every day, and 7 d as one course, for continuous 3 courses; while the patients in the medication group were given Phenolphthalein, 7 d as one course, for continuous 3 courses. Compared the Cleveland clinic constipation score (CCS) between the two groups after one course, 3 courses and 3 months after the treatment, as well as the frequency of defecation within one week. Results:After one week of treatment, CCS scores and frequency of defecation per week were significantly changed in both groups compared with those before treatment (P<0.05), and CCS scores and frequency of defecation per week were improved more significantly in the patients of the medication group than in those of the acupuncture group (P<0.01). After 3 weeks of treatment, CCS scores and frequency of defecation per week were significantly changed in both groups compared with those before treatment (P<0.05), and CCS scores and frequency of defecation per week were improved more significant in the patients of the acupuncture group than in those of the medication group (P<0.05). Three months after the end of treatment, CCS scores and frequency of defecation per week were significantly changed in both groups compared with those before treatment (P<0.05), and CCS scores and frequency of defecation per week were improved more significantly in the patients of the acupuncture group than in those of the medication group (P<0.05). Conclusion:Acupuncture and medication are effective in the treatment of constipation due to intestinal qi stagnation. Their short-term therapeutic effect is similar, but the long-term therapeutic effect is better in the acupuncture group than in the medication group.

As an important nucleus of basal ganglia, globus pallidus was concerned to involve in the neural mechanism of Parkins's disease (PD). Previous studies of PD patients and animal model indicate that neurotransmitters and receptors are changed in globus pallidus neurons, the balance between inhibition and excitation is broken in the output nuclei of basal ganglia, and globus pallidus neurons display bursting and oscillatory discharge, the synchronous tendency of neighboring neurons enhances. These neurophysiological changes are associated with PD symptoms, such as bradykinesia, rigidity and tremor, which reflects that globus pallidus plays an important role in the process of PD. In the present paper, the recent advances in pathophysiology in globus pallidus, its clinical application in treatment of Parkinson's disease, and the study direction in the future are reviewed.

Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, dexamethasone (VCD) regimen and bortezomib dexamethasone (VD) regimen in the treatment of the patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM). Methods: The clinical data of 73 patients with NDMM in Shanxi Dayi Hospital from January 2013 to January 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the chemotherapy regimen, the patients were divided into VCD group (41 cases) and VD group (32 cases). The efficacy and adverse reactions of the two groups were evaluated. Results: The overall response rate of VCD group and VD group was 80.5% (33/41) and 78.1% (25/32) respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant (χ ²= 0.061, P= 0.804); and complete remission (CR) rate was 36.6% (15/41) and 15.6% (5/32) respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (χ ²= 3.970, P= 0.046); the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 27 months and 24 months respectively, and the median overall survival (OS) was 35 months and 33 months respectively, and the differences were not statistically significant (all P > 0.05). Most adverse reactions occurred in grade 1-2, in which peripheral polyneuropathy and thrombocytopenia were the most common. Peripheral neuritis was the most common finding among the adverse reactions of grade 3. The incidence of adverse reactions in both groups was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Conclusions VCD and VD regimen could be recommended as a better induction therapy for NDMM patients. Compared with VD scheme, VCD scheme has a higher CR rate.

Primary liver cancer is one of the common malignant tumors and its mortality ranks third in the world. Because there are no obvious symptoms in the early stage of liver cancer, most patients are diagnosed as advanced stage, without the opportunity of surgical resection. The authors report a case of hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein tumor thrombus, which reduced significantly after hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy combined with bevacizumab and atezolizumab, showing the safety and efficacy.

Objective:To explore the clinical value of extra-long subcutaneous tunnel ventricular drainage in patients with hydrocephalus.Methods:From March 2016 to March 2020, 33 patients who were not suitable for ventriculoperitoneal shunt, who would have expected time of external ventricular drainage longer than 7 d, who had external ventricular drainage reaching for 7 d and still could not expect for drainage tube drawing for the next 7 d, or who had hydrocephalus after external ventricular drainage were chosen in our study. These patients accepted extra-long subcutaneous tunnel ventricular drainage. The curative effects in the patients were analyzed retrospectively.Results:The drainage tube was kept for a maximum of 24 months and the shortest time was 13 d, with average of 69.3 d; 32 patients (97%) had drainage time longer than 14 d. There was no secondary infection after operation.Conclusion:Extra-long subcutaneous tunnel extraventricular drainage tube has a long duration of catheter placement, could avoid multiple drainage and secondary intracranial infection, so it is a safe and effective new technology for hydrocephalus.

Objective To estimate the curative effect of non-gastrointestinal decompression in laproscopic colorectal surgery. Methods By using the single-blind-random test and prospective study, 55 patients were divided into two groups, experimental group and matched group. The difference of operating time, gastrointestinal function recovery time, adverse effect, complication, average length of hospital stay between two groups were observed and evaluated. Results The difference of operating time, gastrointestinal function recovery time, adverse effect, complication, average length of hospital stay between two groups were not statistically significant(P>0.05). The incidence rate of sore throat and cough and expectoration difficulty after operation was significantly lower in the experimental group (the rate was respectively 16.0% vs 77.7% and 8.0% vs 50.0, P<0.05). However, The incidence rate of nausea and vomiting, abdom-inal distension was not statistically significant(P>0.05). Conclusion In the perioperative period of laproscopic colorectal surgery, non-gastrointestinal decompression appears to be security and feasible.
