Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of acupoint application in treating senile hypertension of yin deficiency and yang excess type.Methods Sixty-six old patients with hypertension of yin deficiency and yang excess type were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 33 cases each. The control group took nifedipine controlled release tablets and the treatment group received acupoint application in addition. The quality of life score was recorded in the two groups before and after treatment. The clinical therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups.Results The total efficacy rate in reducing blood pressure was 90.0% in the treatment group and 84.8% in the control group; there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). The total efficacy rate in improving the symptoms was 90.9% in the treatment group and 69.7% in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference in the quality of life score in the two groups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant post-treatment difference in the quality of life score between the treatment and control groups (P<0.05).Conclusions Acupoint application is an effective way to treat senile hypertension of yin deficiency and yang excess type. It can improve the quality of life in the patients.

Objective To compare the effects of sedation induced with dexmedetomidine and propofol on intracranial pressure and cerebral oxygen metabolism in patients with permissive hypercapnia. Methods Twentyfour patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 12 each) :dexmedetomidine group (group D) and propofol group (group P) . Their APACHE Ⅱ scores were 11-18. The patients were mechanically ventilated (VT 5-7 ml/kg, RR 12-17 bpm, PEEP 6-10 cm H2O, FiO2 40-60%). PaCO2 was maintained at 50-65 mm Hg. Radial artery was cannulated for direct BP monitoring and blood sampling. Right internal jugular vein was cannulated and the catheter was advanced cephalad until jugular bulb. Continuous infusion of dexmedetomidine was started at 0.5 μg· kg-1· h-1 and TCI of propofol was started at target plasma concentration (Cp) of 0.4 μg/ml. The infusion of both drugs was gradually increased until Ramsay score (1= fully awake, 6 =asleep, unresponsive to loud verbal stimulus) reached 3,4,5. Transcranial Doppler monitoring was used to determine cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV), pulsatility index (PI) and resistance index (RI) before administration of dexmedetomidine and propofol (T0 ) and at 30 min after the 3 levels of sedation were reached (T1-3) . Meanwhile blood samples were taken from radial artery and jugular bulb for blood gas analyses. Cerebral O2 metabolic rate (CMRO2), cerebral A-V O2 content differences (Da-jvO2) and cerebral O2 extraction rate (CERO2) were calculated .ResultsCBFV, PI, RI and CMRO2 were significantly decreased at T1-3 as compared with the baseline values at T0 in both groups. CBFV was positively correlated with CMRO2 in both group D (r = 0.80) and group P ( r = 0.76) . CBFV, PI and RI were significantly lower at T1-3 in group D than in group P. There was no significant change in Da-jvO2 and CERO2 at T1-3 as compared with the baseline values at T0 in both groups. Conclusion At different sedation levels, dexmedetomidine results in lower intracranial pressure than propofol and maintains the balance between cerebral O2 supply and demand in patients with permissive hypercapnia.

Three-dimensional (3D) fluorescence spectra and thin layer fluorescence chromatogram of common Camptotheca fruit (CCF) crude drug, camptothecin (CPT) and 10-hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) have been studied, and a novel fluorimetric method for determination of CPT in CCF crude drug has been established. In 3D fluorescence spectra, CPT presented 3 fluorescence peaks with excitation wavelengths lambdaex of 215, 255 and 365 nm, separately, and all peaks with emission wavelength lambdaem of 430 nm. HCPT presented 4 fluorescence peaks with lambdaex of 220, 265, 325 and 375 nm, separately, and all peaks with lambdaem of 555 nm. The fluorescence of CPT is much stronger than that of HCPT. Comparison of 3D fluorescence spectra and analysis of thin layer fluorescence chromatogram revealed that the main fluorescent component of CCF is CPT. HCPT and other components basically do not interfere with the fluorescence of CPT. Under the condition of pH 3.0-6.7, CCF aqueous solution can produce strong and steady fluorescence. Using methanol as solvent, the extracting solution of CCF was prepared, and diluted properly with water, then measured fluorescence intensity at lambdaex/lambdaem = 365/430 nm to determine the content of CPT. A linear calibration curve covered the concentration range 0.002 35-0.235 microg x mL(-1). The regression equation was IF = 9 + 30,844 c, with correlation coefficient r = 0.999 (n=9). The method has been applied to the analysis of CPT in a CCF sample, with a result of 0.127% and a spiked recovery rate of 102%. The reliability of the method has been verified by a thin layer chromatography-fluorescence scanning method. Experimental results demonstrated that this method can be used for quality evaluation of CCF crude drug.

Objective To investigate the changes in auditory evoked potential index(AAI)value and bispectral index(BIS)value produced by treatment of hypotension with ephedrine or phenylephrine during induction of general anesthesia.Methods Seventy-five ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes aged 30-50 yr with body mass index ＜ 30 kg/m2 underwent elective abdominal surgery under general anesthesia.Anesthesia was induced with 8%sevoflurane,midazolam 0.1 mg/kg and fentanyl 3 μg/kg.Tracheal intubation was facilitated with succinylcholine 2 mg/kg.Anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane inhalation.BIS value was maintained at 40-50 and AAI value at 20-30 by adjusting the concentration of sevoflurane.When the desired level of BIS value and AAI value was reached during induction of anesthesia,hypotension(MAP ＜ 80 % of the baseline)was treated with intravenous ephedrine 0.1 mg/kg(group E,n = 25)or phenylephrine 2 mg/kg(group P,n = 25)or 6% HES(130/0.4)10 ml/kg(group C,n = 25)at random.MAP,HR,BIS value and AAI value value were recorded before(T0)and at 2,5,7,10 min after fluid or vasoactive agent administration(T1-4).Results MAP significantly increased after treatment at T1-4 as compared with MAP at To in all 3 groups.BIS and AAI values were significantly increased after administration of ephedrine at T3,4 as compared with MAP at To in group E.There were no significant differences in BIS and AAI values before and after administration of phenylephrine and 6% HES in group P and C.Con-clusion Treatment of hypotension with ephedrine during induction of general anesthesia can increase BIS and AAI and decrease the depth of anesthesia but phenylephrine cannot.

Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is the most common cause of transient loss of consciousness ( TLOC ),mainly with head-up tilt test (HUTT) for diagnosis and treatment evaluation.Beacause of potential risks in the process of HUTT,it is necessary to explore an early,accurate,safe,effective,inexpensive and convenient means of diagnosis and evaluation for VVS.The means of quantitative history are now in practice of clinical trials.The means commonly used are Calgary Presyncope Form (CPF)and three questionaires about point scores in the Calgary syncope symptom studies.Due to its stable,simple and easy to apply features,CPF has some advantages on assessing the effectiveness of different treatment methods for VVS.The three questionnaires have some application potential in diagnosis for VVS.

Objective To study the correlation of perceived social support and job burnout with subjective well-being of male nurses.Methods 122 nurses were selected from three large hospitals of Yantai and Weihai region,including 61 male and 61 female nurses,perceived social support scale,job burnout scale and subjective well-being scale were used for investigation.The correlation of perceived social support and job burnout with subjective well-being of male nurses was analyzed.Results Male nurse' occupation self-efficacy score as well as perceived social support score were significantly lower than those of female nurses.The three dimensions of job burnout of male nurses were negatively correlated with subjective well-being and perceived social support,perceived social support and subjective well-being.Perceived social support was positively correlated with subjective well-being.Job burnout and perceived social support could predict subjective well-being.Conclusions The social support and job burnout have a large impact on subjective well-being of male nurses.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of dexmedetomidine in reduce of hyperalgesia in patien with remifentanil anesthesia.Methods 84 patients scheduled for laparoscopic hysterectomy from December 2014 to April 2016 were selected and randomly divided into two groups: the observation group and the control group,42 cases in each group,two groups were intravenous infusion of remifentanil,propofol and inhaled sevoflurane to maintain anesthesia.In the observation group,0.6μg/kg of dexmedetomidine was given 40minutes before the end of the operation(adding to 100mL 0.9％sodium chloride solution,infusion within 10minutes),the control group was given the same volume of 0.9％sodium chloride solution.The visual analogue scale(VAS)and the bruggrmann comfort scale(BCS)were used to evaluate the postoperative pain and comfort of the two groups of patients at different time points,and compare the incidence of adverse events between the two groups.Results The VAS scores of the two groups were significantly different at 1h(T1),4h(T2)and 24h(T3),and the VAS score of the observation group was significant better than that of the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05),the BCS scores of two group were compared at T1 and T2,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference between the two groups at T3.The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can relieve and prevent the incidence of hyperalgesia and adverse reactions in patients with remifentanil anesthesia,and improve the analgesic effect of postoperative patients.
