ObjectiveTo observe the effect of acupoints stimulation with silver spike point therapy on insomnia.Methods60 patients with insomnia were randomly divided into the trial group and control group with 30 cases in each group. Patients of the trial group were treated by acupoints stimulation with silver spike point therapy and patients of control group were treated only with Clonopin. All patients of two groups were tested with Self-Rating Scale of Sleep (SRSS) before and after treatment.ResultsThe curative effect rate of the trial group was 86.6%; that of the control group was 60%; the curative effect of the trial group was superior to the control group (P<0.05). SRSS difference of the trial group pre-and post-treatment was 12.79±3.20; that of the control group was 10.1±3.89. There was also a significant difference between two groups (P<0.01).ConclusionThe silver spike point therapy has the better curative effect on insomnia than Clonopin.

Objective To investigate the correlation between ABCD2 scores and vertebrobasilar artery stenosis in patients with posterior circulation transient ischemic attack (TIA).Methods The patients with posterior circulation TIA who performed cerebral angiography were enrolled in the study,and their ABCD2 scores and imaging data were analyzed.Results A total of 108 patients with posterior circulation TIA were enrolled.There were significant differences in the main trunk stenosis degree of vertebrobasilar artery with different ABCD2 scores in patients with posterior circulation TIA (P =0.005).The overall degree of stenosis increased with the increase of ABCD2 score (P =0.000).After adjustment for other vascular risk factors,ABCD2 score had significant predictive ability for whether had posterior circulation stenosis (odds ratio [OR]1.771,95％ confidence interval [CI] 1.234-2.542; P =0.002) and moderate to severe stenosis (OR 2.083,95％ CI 1.336-3.176; P =0.001).Its receiver operating characteristic area under the curve was 0.693(95％ CI 0.586-0.800) and 0.755 (95％ CI 0.661-0.849) respectively.When the ABCD2 score was ≥3,the sensitivity and specificity of predicting posterior circulation stenosis were 62.6％ (95％ CI 53.4％-71.7％) and 70.6％ (95％ CI62.0％-79.1％) respectively,and the sensitivity and specificity of predicting posterior circulation stenosis ＞ 50％ were 78.7％ (95％ CI 70.9％-86.4％) and 67.5％ (95％ CI58.7％-76.3％) respectively.Conclusions In patients with posterior circulation TIA,the stenosis degree of vertebrobasilar arterial trunk increases with the increase of ABCD2 score.In a certain extent,ABCD2 score may predict whether the main trunk of the posterior circulation has stenosis and whether has moderate to severe stenosis.

Objective: To explore the cause and the strategy for air quantity signaling in old patients using mechanic air. Method: Summary and analysis of the causes for air quantity signaling in 187 cases of old patients using respiratory machine. Results: One hundred fifty-one cases showed low-limited air quantity signaling per minute whereas 36 cases presented high-limited air quantity signaling per minute. Conclusion: Judging and removing the obstacle in respiratory machine on time and accurately are the key point raising both the survival rate of severe patients and the successful rate of mechanic air.

Objective To investigate the significance of the Children's Rehabilitation Management System (ICR 2.0) for occupational therapy (OT) for cerebral palsy (CP). Methods 60 children with CP were divided into group A (n=30) and group B (n=30). The group A accepted OT program assisted with ICR 2.0, and the group B accepted OT program drawn by therapists experientially. They were assessed with Enjoji infant development scale and Fine Motor Function Measure (FMFM) before and 3 months after treatment. Results There was no significant difference in development months and the fine motor between 2 groups before treatment (P>0.05). Both the development and fine motor improved after treatment (P<0.001), and improved more in the group A than in the group B (P<0.05). Conclusion ICR 2.0 assisted OT program can further improve the recovery of children with CP.

Usage of reverse genetic techniques in the research area of the fundamental etiology of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), has resolved the issue about the function of viral gene of FMDV on genomic integer level. At present, a further recognition and apprehension for the molecular etiology of FMDV based on the development in reverse genetics was made. Combined with the research work in our labs, we reviewed international advances about the molecular pathogenic mechanism, the relationship be-tween virulence and variation in the genomes, influencing factors for the viral replication, and the develop-ment of new-type gene vaccine of FMD in this article, and propose the potential research aspects in reverse genetics of FMDV in the future.

Objective To evaluate the short-term safety and efficacy of endoscopic implantation of self-expandable metallic stent (SEMs) for malignant colorectal obstruction.Methods A total of 208 patients who had undergone endoscopic SEMs implantation for malignant colonic obstruction from January 2012 to May 2014 at the endoscopy center of Shengjing hospital were enrolled.The technical and clinical success rate and the complications were reviewed.Results The technical and clinical success rates were 99.04％ (206/208) and 96.15％ (200/208), respectively.Abdominal pain, perforation and bleeding were the most common post-procedure complications, the rates of which were 13.46％ (28/208), 2.88％ (6/208), 1.92％ (4/208), respectively.The abdominal pain in most patients was self-relieving except for 6 patients with perforation of colon.Patients with perforation were cured by emergency surgery.One patient with intraperitoneal hemorrhage was also cured by emergency surgery, the other patients developing bleeding recovered themselves.Conclusion The success rate of endoscopic SEMs implantation is satisfactory in the study.As a bridge to surgery or a palliative care method, endoscopic SEMs implantation is effective and safe for malignant colorectal obstruction.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic metal stent implantation for afferent limb obstruction after pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD). Methods A retrospective analysis of 5 patients with afferent limb obstruction after PD treated by endoscopic metal stent implantation was performed.Data of each patient was reviewed including the records of the endoscopic procedure,the complications and the clinical outcomes. Results All the metal stents were implanted successfully in the 5 patients. The abdominal disten-sion and cholangeitis were well relieved in all the patients. The liver function improved in all the patients in 3 to 5 days.No abdominal discomfort,bleeding,perforation,or stent dislocation occurred.CT scan showed that all stents were well expanded.The survival time of the 5 patients were 3 to 8 months,and 4. 6 months on av-erage. There was no recurrence of afferent limb obstruction. Conclusion For afferent limb obstruction after PD,endoscopic metal stent implantation is effective in relieving obstruction,the symptoms,and improving the quality of life.

An on-line solid phase extraction-high performance liquid chromatography ( SPE-HPLC ) system was applied in the plasma pharmacokinetic study of highly active anti-cancer compound tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TEB-415) in mouse. The on-line SPE-HPLC method associated with Ultimate3000 system which was applied to the determination of the blood drug level of TEB-415 in mouse plasma. C18 column ( Venusil MP, 150 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5μm) was used as analytical column and the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-5 mmol/L monopotassium phosphate buffer ( pH 3 . 5 ) at a flow rate of 1 . 0 mL/min was used as the isocratic elution. An MF Ph-1 column (10 mm×4 mm, 5 μm) was used as on-line SPE column, and water and water-acetonitrile were used as the washing solvent and elution solvent respectively. The detection wavelength was set at 262 nm. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by WinNonlin 5. 2 software. The linear range of the calibration curve was between 100 and 20000 μg/L, and the limit of qualification was 20 μg/L. The extraction recovery was between 90 . 5% and 94 . 6%. The RSD of intra-day and inter-day precision was less than 3. 5%. The accuracy of short-term stability, freeze-thaw stability and long-term stability were between 91. 49% and 101. 96%. After oral medication, the mean peak time (Tmax) of TEB-415 in mice was 5. 29 h, and the mean maximum concentration ( Cmax) was 3403μg/L. The area under the curve ( AUC) of TEB-415 was 24600 μg/L·h. This drug's mean half-life was 3. 84 h, and its mean retention time (MRT) was 6. 56 h. These parameters suggested that TEB-415 had appropriate rate of absorption and elimination with preferable bioavailability.
