2.Acupuncture technique of "five elements motion and six kinds of qi".
Chinese Acupuncture & Moxibustion 2015;35(7):727-730
The origin and development of "five elements motion and six kinds of qi" acupuncture technique are reviewed, and acupuncture for treatment and prevention of disorders of "five elements motion and six kinds of qi" is summarized. Also its principle is analyzed. Problems such as the inconformity of acupoint selection, lack of systematic theory are discussed. It is pointed out that, instead of indiscriminate copy, treatment should be based on the observation of the transportation and transformation of qi; it is suggested that the classics should be inherited and innovated, combining the tradition with contemporary, and according to a sixty-year cycle, the acupuncture technique of "five elements motion and six kinds of qi" can be improved systematically for promotion and application.

3.Is it ethical to have a placebo arm in reperfusion trials in the 3-to 6-hour time window?
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2009;17(7):554-558
dence is weak. And whether it is ethical to have a placebo arm in reperfusion trials in the 3- to 6-hour time window remains controversy. This article discusses them.
4.Carotid endarterectomy or stenting before coronary artery bypass in patients with coexisting carotid and coronary disease?
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2009;17(6):475-480
Carotid artery and coronary atberosclcrotic lesions often coexist. How to manage the two kinds of lesions, especially to reduce the risk of perioperative stroke, whether it is necessary to treat carotid artery lesions first or simultaneously before coronary artery bypass grafting, and whether stent angioplasty can replace carotid endarterectomy in the treatment of carotid disease has been controversial. This article discusses them.
5.Stroke prevention in patients with carotid artery stenosis: Endarterectomy, stent angioplasty, or best medical therapy?
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2009;17(5):393-400
Carotid stenosis is an important risk factor for isehemie stroke. For many years, there have been controversies surrounding how to treat carotid artery stenosis, and then effectively realize stroke prevention. This article analyzes them.
6.Should cerebral venous sinus thrombosis be given anticoagulant treatment?
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2009;17(2):157-160
Cerebral venous sirras thrombosis is rare clinical practice, but there has been controversial as to whether anticoagulant therapy should be performed or not. The bone of contention is whether anticoagulant therapy is safe and effective indeed. This article discusses the above problem.
7.Homocysteine and the prevention of ischemic stroke
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2009;17(3):233-240
The evidence from epidemiological and observational studies support that homocysteine is an important risk factor for ischemic stroke. Using folic acid and vitamins B to reduce homocysteine may effectively prevent ischemic stroke. However, the results of the vast majority of clinical trials are negative. This article analyzes them.
8.Questions need to be clarified in stroke prevention and treatment practice in patients with atrial fibrillation
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2009;17(1):71-78
How to choose and implement antithrombotic therapy has always been a controversial issue in the primary and secondary prevention of cardiac embolic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation in clinical practice. This article synthesizes the recent literatures and discusses them.
9.Exfoliative toxin serotype genes and antibiotic resistance of staphylococcus aureus isolated from children with staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome
Chinese Journal of Dermatology 2008;41(11):711-713
Objective To investigate the exfoliative toxin serotype genes and antibiotic resistance of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) isolated from children with staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS). Methods In total, 108 strains of SA were isolated from 36 patients with SSSS, 36 patients with impetigo and 36 patients with abscess. Multiplex PCR was used to detect the staphylococcal exfoliative toxin A, B and D genes, Kirby-Baner method to test the susceptibilities of SA strains to 20 antibiotics. Results All the 36 SA isolates from SSSS patients were ET-positive, and 2 (6%) produced ETA, 7 (19%) ETB, 27 (75%) both ETA and ETB; of the 36 isolates from patients with impetigo, 78% produced ET, and 14% produced ETA, 64% produced both ETA and ETB, while no single ETB-producing strain was found; ET was detected in only one (2.8%) SA isolate from abscess patients, which produced both ETA and ETB. ETD was detected in none of the SA isolates. There was a statistical difference in the distribution of ET serotype among the three diseases (χ2=89.4, P < 0.01) and the proportion of ET-producing strains in SSSS group was signifi-cantly higher than that in impetigo group (χ2=9.0, P < 0.01) and abscess group (χ2= 68.1, P < 0.01). All the SA isolates were highly resistant to penicilin, ampicillin, macrolides and clindamycin, but sensitive to other 15 common antibiotics such as cephalosporin. Two strains of MRSA were found in patients with abscess. Conclusion In Chongqing, ET-producing SA is the common pathogenic bacteria of SSSS and impetigo, and most of SA strains produce both ETA and ETB.
10.Should the patients with middle cerebral artery occlusion of transient ischemic attack be treated with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator?
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2011;19(2):157-160
Neuroimaging studies show that transient ischemic attacks of middle cerebral artery occlusion are not uncommon.Whether these patients should be treated with tissue plasminogen activator remains to be controversial.This article introduces the different views around this debate.
