Objective:To observe the effect of point-toward-point needling at points on the low back regions on residual back pain after percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP),thoracolumbar function and quality of life (QOL) in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF).Methods:A total of 72 patients with OVCF and residual back pain after PKP were included and allocated into a treatment group (n=36) and a control group (n=36) by the random number table.Cases in the control group received salmon calcitonin injection (miacalcic),for 1 mL each time,once a day,and oral intake of calcium carbonate D3 pill,600 mg each time,once a day,whereas cases in the treatment group received point-toward-point needling at points on the low back regions and electroacupuncture (EA) for 30 min each time,once a day and 6 times a week on the basis of the treatment in the control group.Treatment in both groups lasted for 2 weeks.Therapeutic efficacy indicators including visual analog scale (VAS),Oswestry disability index (ODI) and Barthel index (BI) were evaluated before and after treatment and at follow-up visit (1 month after treatment).Results:The total effective rate was 94.4％ and 88.9％ in the treatment group after treatment and at the follow-up visit,respectively,higher than 77.8％ and 69.4％ in the control group,and the between-group differences were statistically significant (both P＜0.05).After treatment and at the follow-up visit,the VAS and ODI scores decreased,and BI scores increased in both groups,and the intra-group differences were statistically significant (all P＜0.05).After treatment and at the follow-up visit,between-group differences of VAS,ODI and BI scores were statistically significant (all P＜0.05).Conclusion:On the basis of conventional medication treatment,point-toward-point needling at points on the low back regions has a good therapeutic effect in relieving residual back pain after PKP,improving thoracolumbar function and QOL,better than conventional medication treatment alone.

?AlM:To explore the use of rigid gas permeable ( RGP ) contact lens, and its clinical effect and safety in the treatment of adult high and special type ametropia.
? METHODS: Totally 110 cases ( 185 eyes ) of Ophthalmology Center fitting of RGP from January 2010 to December 2012 were retrospective analyzed. According to the refractive error types, patients were divided into high myopia astigmatism group( 49 cases, 92 eyes), 36 cases (64 eyes) of keratoconus group, special ametropia group (25 cases, 29 eyes). Corrected visual acuity differences, adverse reactions of different temporal acuity and conventional frame in the three group were observed after wearing RGP.
?RESULTS:After wearred RGP, corrected visual acuity of high myopic astigmatism group was 4. 94 ± 0. 16, keratoconus group was 4. 98±0. 15, and special ametropia group was 4. 87±0. 19; they were significantly better than wearing frame mirror 4. 86±0. 23, 4. 79±0. 22, 4. 61±0. 27 and the differences were statistically significant (P<0. 05). After 3 and 6mo of wearing RGP, patients eyesight after RGP was better than that of wearing frame glasses ( P<0. 05 ) . As the astigmatism group, keratoconus group, special ametropia group wearing RGP, visual acuity after distribution were obviously better than the case when wearing frame glasses(P<0. 05).
?CONCLUSlON: Wearring RGP can correct adult high and special type ametropia than ordinary frame glasses, which avoid the occurence of dry eye, foreign body sensation, and easy fatigue. lt is worthy of clinical application.

Alternating hemiplegia of childhood(AHC) is a hereditary disease characterized by hemiplegia spells,abnormal eye movements,dystonia and cognitive impairment.There are three phases of the disease.Each phase has its unique clinical symptoms:phase 1-abnormal eye movements and dystonia;phase 2-hemiplegia spells; phase 3-permanent cognitive impairment.The severity of cognitive impairment depends on the time of onset of hemiplegia spells:the earlier the onset is,the worse outcome will be.No effective treatment has been established.Thetreatments currently include:avoiding predisposing factors and taking drugs such as flunarizine to prevent hemiplegia attacks,in the inter-ictal stage;and sedation during hemiplegia attacks.According to the latest research,AHC is caused by the de novo mutation of gene ATP1A3.

This article explored dampness disease from several aspects of characteristic,relation between endogenous dampness and exogenous dampness,syndrome differentiation,recognition of the disease by ancient doctors,relation between dampness and the five internal organs,and the treatment of dampness disease.

Objective To appraise the value of combined multiple tumor markers in the diagnosis of ovarian tumors. Methods Eighty-three patients with ovarian tumors confirmed by pathological diagnosis were tested with combined multiple tumor markers including CA125,CA19-9,alpha-fetoprotein (AFP),carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), serum ferritin (FT) preoperatively by automated chemiluminescence assay,and the relations between the results and the pathological diagnosis were analyzed retrospectively.Results There was statistical difference among the positive rates of tumor markers in malignant [ 83.87%(26/31 ) ] and benign ovarian tumors [ 36.54% (19/52) ] (P ＜ 0.05 ). Every tumor marker had its sensitivity and specificity,but CA125 was the best marker of all. Its sensitivity was 74.2%, specificity was 55.8%,positive predictive value was 50.0% ,the specificity of CEA,AFP and FT was all 98.1%, the sensitivity of those was 16.1%, 3.2%, 16.1% respectively. When combined with the others,it could improve its specificity and positive predictive value,but the sensitivity declined greatly. Conclusion The accuracy of distinguishing the malignant from benign ovarian tumors is enhanced by combined multiple tumor markers testing.

Objective To investigate the effects of Xiaoke Wan on serum adiponectin levels in patients with type 2 diabetes metlitus. Methods A total of 60 2TDM patients with deficiency of both qi and yin syndrome were recruited into a control group and a treatment group randomly, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was treated with Xiaoke Wan, and the control group was treated with glibenclamide. After 32 weeks, the changes of FPG, 2hPG, HbAIc, FINS, C-P, APN, HBCI,IRI and improvement of symptoms were compared between the two groups. Results Compared with glibenclamide, Xiaoke Wan can significantly improve the patients' symptoms, reduce the level of IRI (t=-1.590, P=-0.036), and increase serum APN (t=1.918, P=0.002). Conclusion Xiaoke Wan can significantly improve symptoms, reduce fasting blood glucose and 2 hour postprandial blood glucose, recover the secretion of adipouectin, decrease insulin resistance in 2TDM patients with deficiency of both qi and yin.
