Objective To explore the mechanisms of Artemisia argyi burning and moxibustion photo-thermal effect.Methods N-alkanes were obtained by gradient solvent extraction and silica gel column chromatography elution from 1, 3 and 5 years’ Artemisia argyi produced in QiChun, Hubei and analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS).Results The n-alkane contents of 1, 3 and 5 years’ Artemisia argyi were 318.65, 528.23 and 394.20μg/g, respectively. A total of seventeen kinds of n-alkanes were detected from the Artemisia argyi of three kinds of years. The 31 carbon alkane content was highest in all of them. Because N-alkanes affect the temperature and stability of Artemisia argyi burning, it may be the material basis for explaining “worrying seven years’ diseases seek 3 years’ Artemisia argyi”.

Objective To analyze the effect of conductive education combined with massage on activity of children with severe cerebral palsy. Methods 11 children (7 males and 4 females) with cerebral palsy receiving rehabilitation therapies in CereCare Wellness Centre of Xuhui, Shanghai from April to October 2010 were enrolled in this study. The type of cerebral palsy was as follows: 7 tetraplegia, 1 diplegia,2 athetoid, and 1 dystonia. The average age was 7.47 years, ranging from 4.7~11.9 years. The participants were divided randomly into 2groups. 5 children in group A accepted conductive education and massage therapy in the first 3 months, and then accepted routine rehabilitation therapies in the next 3 months. 6 children in group B accepted routine rehabilitation therapies in the first 3 months, and then accepted conductive education and massage therapy in the next 3 months. The phase of conductive education combined with massage was called intervention period, and the phase of routine rehabilitation therapies was called contrast period. The gross motor function was assessed with Gross Motor Function Measure Scale (GMFM), while the fine motor function was assessed with Fine Motor Function Measure Scale (FMFM).Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) was used to assess activities of daily living. The different effects between conductive education combined with massage and routine rehabilitation therapies were compared. Results The scores of GMFM and FMFM both increased in intervention period, while both decreased in contrast period. The score of FMFM increased significantly (P<0.05). The scores of PEDI changed without statistical significance. Conclusion Conductive education combined with massage may increase the fine motor function of children with severe cerebral palsy compared with routine rehabilitation therapies.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors on hospitalization costs of osteoporosis hip fracture in elderly patients.Methods The hospitalization expenses of patients with osteoporotic hip fracture and influencing factors were analyzed by single factor analysis of variance and multiple regression analysis method in Beijing Ji Shuitan Hospital from 2009 July to 2010 December.Results Among 565 patients who underwent operation treatment,hospitalization costs of femoral neck fracture was (42 127±20 821) yuan,wherein the treatment fee was (27 283± 14 959) yuan,other expenses (expenses for medicine,examination and chemical examination) were (14 844 ± 8717) yuan.The above values of intertrochanteric fracture were (52 965± 15 901) yuan,(36 872±11 763) yuan and (16 093±7793) yuan,respectively.Treatment fee occupied 65% of hospitalization expenses.Multivariate regression analysis of influencing factors of costs intertrochanteric revealed that femoral neck fractures hip arthroplasty,femoral intertrochanteric fracture,venous thrombosis of the lower extremity,and albumin infusion in perioperative period were correlated firmly with the increased hospitalization expenses and treatment expenses (P<0.001).Comorbidities such as diabetes and anemia,perioperative complication such as delirium,cardiac disease,pulmonary embolism,pulmonary infection were related to the other higher expenses (P<0.05).The longer of hospital stay resulted in higher cost of hospitalization (P < 0.001).Conclusions Comorbidities and preoperative complications can increase other expenses.Osteoporotie hip fracture,with a high hospitalization cost,is a heavy economy burden.It is important to emphasize the disease prevention of both osteoporosis and aging chronic illness.

Objective To compare the effect of Acetate Sodium Potassium Magnesium Calcium and lactate ringers′ as priming solution in pediatrics with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during congenital heart surgery. Methods Sixty children, aged 1-6 years, weighting 8 to 20 kg, with ASA Ⅱ to Ⅲ class and with ventricular or atrial septal defect elective , received heart surgery with CPB. They were randomly divided into two groups: the lactate ringers′ group (R) and the sodium acetate, potassium, magnesium and calcium glucose injection pre-filled group (L). Levels of artery blood gas, lactic, gluclose, electrolytes were detected at the time points of induction of anesthesia (T1), aortic cross damping (T2), stopping before (T3), and closing chest later (T4). Results Levels of the blood glucose and lactic acid in the two groups post-CPB were increased (P <0.01) at T2 and T3. Lactic acid level in group L was lower than that in group R (P < 0.05), and the blood glucose level in group L was higher than that in group R (P < 0.01). No significant difference was found in the lactic acid and blood glucose post-closing chestbetween the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion Sodium, potassium , magnesium , calcium and glucose injection as children CPB priming crystalloid fluid could provide energy substrate, reduce lactic acid concentration, with little effect on electrolyte and blood gas.

Methylmalonic aciduria (MMA) is a common inherited autosomal recessive disorder resulting from defects in the enzyme methylmalonyl CoA mutase (MCM, mut complementation group) or in the synthesis of the MCM cofactor adenosylcobalamin (cbl complementation groups). The defects in the mut complementation group accounts for the largest number of patients with isolated MMA. At least 200 mutations in the MUT gene on chromosome 6p12 have been identified in MMA patients until now. This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of MMA and genomic variations in the MUT gene of Chinese patients. Genomic DNA was extracted from 18 patients who were diagnosed as having isolated MMA by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and from some of their parents as well. Amplification and direct sequencing of the MUT coding regions (exon 2-13) and their adjacent intronic consensus splice sites were performed in order to identify the disease causing mutations. In this group, six novel mutations in the MUT gene, c.424A>G (p.T142A), c.786T>G (p.S262R), c.808G>C (p.G270R), c.1323_1324insA, c.1445-1G>A and c.1676+77A>C were identified. p.T142A and p.G270R were respectively detected at a heterozygous level in one patient. Two previously reported mutations, c.682C>T (p.R228X) and c.323G>A (p.R108H) were also found in this study. In addition, six previously described single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), c.636A>G (p.K212K), c.1495G>A (p.A499T), c.1595A>G (p.H532R), c.1992G>A (p.A664A), c.2011G>A (p.V671I) and c.1677-53A>G were identified. In this study, we updated the spectrum of MUT mutations and identified the main MMA-causing mutations in Chinese MMA patients.

Objective To compare genomic expression differences between androgenic complete hydatidiform mole (AnCHM) and normal first trimester villi with similar gestation weeks,and search for potential adjuvant diagnostic molecular markers.Methods Short tandem repeat (STR) detection was used to identify AnCHM,human oligonucleotide array U133 Plus 2.0 was used to measure genomic expression differences between AnCHM and normal villi,and quantitative fluorescent RT-PCR was used to verify array of several genes.Results Nine of 11 histologically diagnosed complete hydatidiform moles were found to be AnCHM by means of STR,and the other 2 were biparental complete hydatidifonn mole (BiCHM). Compared with villi,oligonueleotide array showed 279 genes (0.72%,279/38 500) were over expressed and 1710 genes (4.44%,1710/38 500) under expressed in AnCHM.Bioinformatics analysis found that differentially expressed genes were involved in multiple biological processes and pathways.Changes of imprinting genes,growth hormone genes and chorionie somatomammotropin hormone genes were especially remarkable.Conclusions Pathogenesis of AnCHM is a complex process involving multiple genes and pathways.Altered expression of imprint genes may play important roles in the process.
