This article was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture and flunarizine for migraine treatment. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in migraine treatment by acupuncture andflunarizine were searched in the Pubmed, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, and W anfang database. The quality of inclusion criteria were assessedaccording to the CochraneCollaboration's recommended methodand the effective data was extracted. Then, the RevMan5.2 software was used in thesummary and analysis of the effective literatures. The results showed thatthe total sample size was893 cases, with 10 studies according to the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis showed that the short-term efficacy of the treatment group was higher than the control group [RR = 1.27, 95%CI (1.11, 1.45), P<0.000 4];the long-term efficacy of the treatment group was higher than the control group [RR = 1.76, 95%CI (1.05, 2.94), P=0.03]; headache degree of improvement was better than thecontrol group [MD = -2.00, 95%CI (-3.01, -0.99), P=0.000 1]. It was concluded that acupuncture was more effective than flunarizinein migraine treatment. However, the whole study sample size was relatively small, thequality assessment was not high, and the funnel plot analysis was left-right asymmetry, which indicated the presence of publication bias. It was concluded that more high-quality clinical cases should be confirmed in the future.

Objective To explore the moderating and mediating roles of psychological capital in the associations of effort?reward imbalance and overcommitment with job burnout among iron?steel workers. Methods Totally 1 700 male iron?steel workers from an iron and steel company were enrolled for the study. A set of questionnaires that included demographic and working factors,the Maslach Burnout Inventory?General Survey,the Ef?fort?reward Imbalance Scale and the Psychological Capital Questionnaire,as well as perceived work environment was distributed to the subjects. A to?tal of 1 254 effective respondents(73.76%)were collected. Hierarchical linear regression analysis was performed to explore moderating role,and as?ymptotic and resampling strategies were used to detect mediating role. Results There was no moderating role of psychological capital on the associa?tion between effort?reward imbalance and job burnout. Psychological capital had significant and positive moderating roles on the associations of over?commitment with emotional exhaustion and cynicism. Psychological capital showed significant mediating role in the associations of effort?reward im?balance with emotional exhaustion and cynicism,and the proportion of mediating role was 5.84%and 18.75%,respectively. Conclusion In work?ers with high level of psychological capital,emotional exhaustion and cynicism would be significantly increased with overcommitment,and there is a weak increasing trend of emotional exhaustion and cynicism in workers with low level of psychological capital. Effort?reward imbalance could lead to emotional exhaustion and cynicism through the reduction of psychological capital of iron?steel workers.

Objective To evaluate the effect of metabolic syndrome(MS)on prognosis of patients with cardiovascular diseases(CVD).Methods The data of 143 CVD patients including the age,waistline,blood pressure,body mass index(BMI),coronary arteriongraphy,ultrasound and blood glucoset,total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),uric acid(UA),creatinine(Cr)were analyzed to detect the incidence of MS,the position and degree of coronary atherosclerosis,organ functional failure(OFF)and ventricular remodelling in the MS patients and those without MS.Results Of 143 CVD patients,72 cases(50.35%)were diagnosed with MS,and UA,Cr,waistline,systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),blood sugar,TG,body mass index(BMI),MS index,HDL-C,left ventricular end-systolic diameter(LVESD),ejection fraction(EF),left atrial dimension(LAD),interventricular septum thickness(IVST),posterior wall thickness(PWT),left ventricular mass(LVM),left ventricular mass index(LVMI),myocardial infraction(MI),stroke,cardia insufficiency,the position and degree of coronary atherosclerosis had difference between the patients with MS and without MS(P<0.05).Conclusion MS is a condition characterized by clustering of CVD risk factors.MS not only increases the incidence of CVD and OFF in the patients,but also effects the prognosis.

Objective To observe the lung protection of Astragalus membranaceus against radiotherapy to intermediate-stage and terminal thoracic neoplasm, and its influence on TNF-α and ET expression.Methods The patients with intermediate-stage and terminal thoracic neoplasm under radiotherapy were divided into a treatment group and a control group.Patients in the treatment group took 10 ml of Asragalus membranaceus twice a day.for consecutive 6 months from the beginning of radio therapy.TNF-α and ET in the plasma were measured before and after the radiotherapy.The clinical symptom,iconographic changes and lung diffusion were observed from the 15th day of radiotherapy.Results The TNF-α and ET in plasma afterthe radiotherapy were(2.48±0.75)as/ml and(69.32±23.03)pg/ml for the treatment group,and(5.12±1.01)ns/ml and(97.87±37.83)pg/ml for the control group with the statistial difference(x2=7.49,6.57,P<0.001).The decrease of CO diffusion 5 and 10 months after the radiotherapy in the treatment group was statistically different compared with that in the control group(x2=3.98,3.78,P<0.05).There was a statistical difference of the incidence of acute radiation pneumonitis and pulmonary fibrosis between these two groups(P<0.05).Conclusions Astragalus membranaceus could inhibit the excess expression of TNF-α and ET in plasma and reduce the deterioration of diffusion after radiotherapy,so that it can be used for intervention of lung injuries from radiotherapy.

Objective To investigate the effects of antithyroid drug(ATD) on oxidative stress in Graves disease patients with and without infiltrative ophthalmopathy.Method The levels of superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione peroxidase(GPx) and catalase(CAT) in erythrocytes of Graves disease patients(18 with and 20 without infiltrative ophthalmopathy) were measured before and after treatment with ATD.Results Compared with the normal control group,the levels of SOD,GPx and CAT were significantly higher in Graves disease patients with and without infiltrative ophthalmopathy.After euthyroidism was achieved with the treatment of ATD,the levels of SOD,GPx and CAT were normalized in the patients without infiltrative ophthalmopathy,but oxidative stress was still present in the patients with infiltrative ophthalmopathy.Conclusion The oxidative stress is obvious in patients with Graves ophthalmopathy,which suggests that oxidative stress is involved in orbital inflammation.

Objective To investigate the key steps of hepatic artery reconstruction and the factors influencing the outcome of hepatic artery reconstruction in orthotopic liver transplantation. Methods The clinical data of 107 consecutive orthotopic liver transplantation patients was retrospectively reviewed to assess the key steps in hepatic artery reconstruction. The risk factors and the diagnosis and treatment of vascular complications were also discussed. Results The incidence of hepatic artery related complications in orthotopic liver transplantation was associated with the quality of the donor hepatic artery,the method used for anastomosis and the use of microsurgical technique. The main hepatic artery related complications were hepatic artery thrombosis and stenosis. The incidence of the vascular complications was 6.54%,and the mortality rate was 85.7%. Conclusion The major influence factors of vascular complications were the quality of the donor artery,the reconstruction way of donor-recipient artery and the use of microsurgical technique .
