OBJECTIVETo observe the immediate analgesic effect of tendon acupuncture on soft tissue injury in different sites.
METHODSA total of 140 cases of soft tissue injury, involving 14 injury sites, were treated with tendon acupuncture. According to the principle of "considering pain as acupoint", based on injury sites, one to three tendon acupoints were selected in each tendon, which were treated with 1 to 5 times. Totally 676 times Of treatment was given. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the immediate. analgesic effect before and after the treatment.
RESULTSAfter the treatment, the score of VAS was significantly reduced (4. 20+ 1. 77 vs 2. 43 ± 1. 30, P<0. 001); regardless of the total number of treatment, the score of VAS after each acupuncture was obviously reduced compared with that before acupuncture (all P<0. 001); the score of VAS at each injury sites after treatment was significantly reduced compared with that before treatment (all P<0. 001).
CONCLUSIONThere is an immediate analgesic effect of tendon acupuncture for different sites of soft tissue injury. Also, the effect has been shown in different frequencies of treatment.

Objective To explore the intrinsic link between neuro-endocrine-immune (NEI) network and the viscera-state.Methods Using three databases namely TCM database, Chinese pharmacy database and combination of TCM and WM database in China Academic Journals Database, the authors searched and collected NEI-related indicators published on journals for the viscera-state researches. Then a related database was established for data mining. Through analysis of association rules, analysis of the relationship among diseases, syndromes, therapeutic principles, combination of disease and syndrome, and NEI network related indicators were performed for association rules and directional network diagrams.Results Through the association analysis, the authors drew 44 directional network diagrams of high-frequency disease positions, syndromes, therapeutic principles and NEI network related indicators, and obtained 19 association rules. Kidney and liver essence research focused on HPG axis, HPA axis, and HPT axis. Spleen essence research focused on brain-gut peptide related indicators. Heart essence research focused on vascular endothelium function indicators. Pulmonary essence research focused on humeral immunity, ET and TNF-α.Conclusion It was feasible to explore the intrinsic link between NEI network and the viscera-state by using data mining. Differences among study on NEI network of five-organs systems were found, which is of great significance for researches on the essence of the viscera-state.

Objective To evaluate the factors influencing the reproducibility and validity of food group intakes measured by a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) for Chinese men. Methods A total of 214 adult men were randomly selected from the Shanghai Men Health Study (SMHS), an ongoing cohort study conducted in urban Shanghai. Each subject who had completed the first FFQ survey at recruitment took 24-hour dietary recall (24-HDR) surveys which were conducted once a month for 12 consecutive months and a second FFQ at the end of the study. Two FFQs were administered approximately 1.2 years apart. The food items listed in FFQ and obtained from 24-HDR were categorized into 11 food groups. The factors influencing the reproducibility of the FFQ was assessed by comparing the Pearson correlation of intake levels from the two FFQs, while the factors influencing the validity was evaluated by comparing intake levels from the second FFQ with the multiple 24-HDRs. Results A total of 195 men completed all 12 times of 24-HDR and twice FFQ surveys. The median Pearson correlation coefficients of the food groups between the two FFQs in older vs younger age group were 0.62 vs 0.50;in higher vs lower education level group were 0.58 vs 0.50;in higher vs lower income group were 0.51 vs 0.50;in higher vs lower BMI group were 0.50 vs 0.49. The median Pearson correlation coefficients of the food groups between the second FFQ and 24-HDRs in older vs younger age group were 0.61 vs 0.45;in higher vs lower education level group were 0.49 vs 0.47;in higher vs lower income group were 0.43 vs 0.57;in higher vs lower BMI group were 0.48 vs 0.51. Conclusions Age is the main factor influencing the reproducibility of the food group intakes by a FFQ used in the SMHS, while the factors influencing the validity are age and family income.
