Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2016;35(5):520-521
Objective To observe the difference in therapeutic efficacy between acupuncture with distant acupoints selection and proximal acupoints selection in treating acute headache.Method Sixty patients with acute headache were randomized into group A and group B, 30 cases in each group. Group A was intervened by acupuncture with distant acupoints selection, while group B was by acupoints with topical acupoints selection. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Present Pain Intensity (PPI) from McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) were observed before and after intervention, and the clinical efficacies were compared between the two groups. Result After treatment, the VAS and PPI scores were significantly different from that before treatment in both groups (P<0.01). The changes of VAS and PPI scores in group A after intervention were significantly different from that in group B (P<0.01). The total effective rate was 90.0% in group A versus 73.3% in group B, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). Conclusion Acupuncture with distant acupoints selection can produce a better therapeutic efficacy than acupuncture with topical acupoints selection.

Chinese Journal of Radiology 2008;42(11):1201-1204
Objective Improve the efficiency of radiology doctors on reading bone age films by sharing Tanner-Whitehouse(TW2)bone algorithm on the network. Methods The bone age algorithm web was Programmed with a Java script implementation of Tanner-Whitehouse Method and putted on a Web server based on HTTP service. The program allows to select a stage (from a set of 8 stages) for every bone (from a set of 20 bones), and also allows doctors to input some specific data such as birthday, sex. Based on TW2 reported values, selected and input data, the program computes the bone age. We assessed the bone ages on 50 left hand and wrist X-ray films of Chinese children aged 2-18 (1000 bones totally) with computer-aided method and manual method. The grading agreement of bone development and the time spent for bone age assessment were compared (U test) between the two methods. Results Computer-aided method is easy to use, better than manual method in accuracy of bone development grading, and it also has a friendly interface. For the 1000 bones assessed by TW2, the rate of the same maturity classification was 83.8%(838/1000), the rate of one-level maturity difference (+ 1 and - 1) was 14. 9% (149/1000), the rate of two-level maturity difference (+2 and -2) was 1.3% (13/1000). For the 1000 bones assessed by manual method, the rate of the same maturity classification was 65.7% (657/1000), the rate of one-level maturity difference (+ 1 and -1) was 27. 2% (272/1000), the rate of two-level maturity difference (+ 2 and -2) was 7.1% (71/1000). TW2 bone algorithm was significantly better than manual method (U =9.31595 ,P <0.01). The average time of assessing bone age by the two methods was 3-5 min and 15-20 min, and the TW2 method saved time for radiologists doctor. Conclusion Sharing TW2 bone age algorithm through the network can be quick and easy.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between blood pressure, blood glucose or blood lipids and patients with cerebral infarction (CI) or intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in diff erent age or gender. Methods: hT e case-control study consecutively recruited patients with if rst-ever-in-a-lifetime CI (n=358) and ICH (n=230) and community-acquired pneumonia (n=165) as controls between January 2010 and December 2013 at the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. hT epatients with CI or ICH were divided into the young group, the middle-aged group and the older group, and the risk factors were compared between the 3 groups. hTe patients with CI or ICH were respectively further divided into the male group and the female group. hTe blood pressure, glucose and lipids were measured. Results: Data from logistic regression models showed that CI was closely associated with high blood pressure, hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM) or fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (P<0.05), and ICH was closely related to high blood pressure, hypertension, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), FPG, serum creatinine (SCr) or alcohol drinking (P<0.05); hypertension was the main risk factor for stroke. hTe odds ratios for the young, the middle-aged and older group were 10.43, 4.74 and 7.39 respectively (P<0.05). Systolic blood pressure (OR=28.74) was the important risk factor for the young stroke, and the OR is 2.81 for the middle-aged stroke. Diastolic blood pressure (OR=2.96) and DM (OR=6.25) were the risk factor for the middle-aged stroke. LDL-C (OR=2.87) was a risk factor for the older stroke; the mean levels of diastolic blood pressure in males were signiifcantly increased compared with that in females with CI, while the mean levels of TC, HDL-C or LDL-C in females were signiifcantly higher than that in males with ICH (P<0.05). Conclusion: Hypertension, systolic blood pressure in particular, is the most common risk factor for young stroke patients. DM and hypertension are the risk factors for the middle-aged patients, while hypertension, DM, LDL-C and alcohol consuming are the risk factors for the aged patients.
