Acupuncture has remarkable effects of pain relieving and functional restoration on injuries of soft tissue and joint due to military training. As more and more attention has been attached to the impact of psychological states and biorhythm disorder on the fighting ability of military staff, acupuncture has found its place in treating chronic fatigue, combat stress reaction, traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder as well as regulating circadian rhythms. The therapeutic effect of acupuncture in military training-related physical damage and psychological trauma has already been proved by numerous clinical practices and researches. It is held that using acupuncture as an alternative could not only save medical resources, but also enhance the fighting ability of the army. However, the current clinical studies is facing the problem of limited sample size. Therefore, randomized controlled trials in large scale and multiple centers should be further carried out toward military staff, so as to provide more speaking evidences to the prevention and treatment of physical and psychological diseases.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the levels of fractional exhaled NO and airway inflammation cells in cough variant asthma(CVA)and the effect of inhaled corticoids .Methods CVA patients were treated with Budesonide and Formoterol Fumarate Powder for Inhalation for 6 months .Before and after treatment ,the provocative concentration of methacholine causing a 20% fall in forced expiratory volume in one second(PC20 FEV1 )was tested ,and the levels of fractional exhaled No ,and eo‐sinophil in induced sputum were examined .Results The levels of FeNO ,the percentage of eosinophil in induced sputum were sig‐nificantly higher than control healthy subjects ,and all decreased significantly after treated with ICS/LABA ,together with elevated PC20 FEV1 .The levels of FeNO were significantly correlated with the percentage of eosinophil in induced sputum ,and also negative‐ly correlated to PC20 FEV1 .Conclusion The levels of FeNO in CVA patients were significantly higher than control healthy sub‐jects ,and correlated with the inflammation of airway ,so FeNO may be used as a biomarker to determine the control level of airway inflammation in CVA patients .

Objective To investigate the clinical features,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of the renal secondary tumor.Methods From January 2000 to January 2014,the data from 31 patients,including 23 male patients and 8 female patients,with renal secondary tumors were analyzed retrospectively.Their mean age was 56 years old (ranging from 38 to 75 years old).The 31 renal secondary tumors rooted in lung cancer(n =14),lymphoma(n =5),colorectal cancer and gastric cancer(n =3),breast cancer(n =2),esophageal cancer(n =1),thyroid cancer (n =1),cervical cancer (n =1) and bladder cancer (n =1),respectively.There were 22 patients (71.0％) of renal metastasis accompany with other organs or lymph node metastasis.9 cases (29％) suffered with independent renal metastasis and 21 cases (67.7％) suffered with unilateral renal metastasis.5 cases(16.1％) were diagnosed as primary tumor with the renal metastasis at the same time,and the remaining 26 cases were found renal metastasis within 9 to 72 months after primary tumor (mean 30 months).There were only 5 patients (16.1％) with symptom.Ultrasound showed low echo range in 20 cases (65.6％) or uneven echo in 11 cases (34.4％).CT showed equal density (77.4％) in 24 cases or slightly low density shadow (22.6％) in 7 cases,most of which were endogenous,mild enhancement.10 cases (32.3％) were bilateral renal metastasis,unilateral renal multiple metastases was found in 6 cases (19.4％),and single metastasis was noticed in 15 cases (48.4％).The average diameter of the renal metastasis was 2.7 cm (ranging from 0.9 to 6.8 cm).Except 4 cases gave up the treatment,the remaining 27 cases were accepted comprehensive therapy about the primary tumor.the 9 patients with renal metastasis only were treated with chemotherapy or targeted therapy for the advanced primary tumor.Among the 9 patients,6 cases were undergone NSS or radical nephrectomy (RN) treatment.Results In 9 cases with only renal metastasis,6 cases,treated by surgery,recovered well.Postoperative pathological and immunohistochemical results confirmed the renal metastasis.Up to January 2015,the follow-up duration ranged from 2 months to 60 months [mean (22.6 ± 18.4) months].The survival time ranged from 1 month to 51 months [mean (13.2 ± 13.2) months].Among 22 cases with multiple metastasis,4 cases gave up treatment,whose average survival time was (2.0 ± 1.4) months.However,the average survival time in remaining 18 cases was (11.1 ± 4.7) months (P ＜ 0.05).In 9 cases with independent renal metastasis,the average survival time in 6 cases,accepted the procedure,was (26.2 ± 18.6) months.While,the average survival time in remaining 3 non-surgical cases,was (10.3 ± 4.0) months (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Renal secondary tumor was rare in clinic.Most cases have isolated lesion.Renal secondary tumor was advanced manifestation of the primary tumor,which could prolong the survival time according to the comprehensive treatment for the primary tumor.Surgical resection of the lesion before the comprehensive treatment could be chosen in the independent renal metastasis.

Objective To improve the quality of teaching, conduct the examination mode reform of the course Fundamental Nursing among undergraduate students, and explore a reasonable and fair appraisal mechanism. Methods Taking a class of 2013 consisting of 160 undergraduates majored in nursing as an experimental group, reform the content, method and evaluation method and implement them in the fundamentals of nursing examination. In addition, compile a self- made questionnaire to investigate the feedback effect of carrying out the assessment model. Meanwhile, take 151 nursing undergraduates in grade 2012 as a historical control group, and conduct the statistical analysis with the overall rating scores of the experimental group. Results After the reform was carried out, 91.82 percent (146/159) of the students holded the view that it was necessary to reform, 86.16 percent (137/159) were satisfied with the evaluation reform, 84.91 percent (135/159) agreed on the spreading of the reformed examination pattern to other courses, and percentage of students′passing the exam reached 98.75 percent (158/160). The difference of the course assessment overall achievement between the experimental group and control group, was statistically significant (Z=-2.62, P < 0.01). Conclusions The reform of the examination mode will achieve the harmonious unification of teaching, learning, exam, improve the quality of teaching and promote the realization of the talent training goal.

Objective To study the application value of high frequency ultrasound to the diagnosis of early rheumatoid arthri‐tis .Methods 40 cases were selected ,who were diagnosed with early rheumatoid arthritis ,as the RA group ,another 40 healthy per‐sons were selected as the normal control group .Objects in the 2 groups were examined with high frequency ultrasound and X‐ray . Comparison of the examination results was made ,at the same time ,the results of suprapatellar bursa effusion ,synovial hyperplasia and bone erosion of the positive detection rate in group RA from the analysis of high‐frequency ultrasound and X‐ray examination were also compared .In addition ,the relativity between the related index and ESR index and CRP index in group RA was also ana‐lysed .Results The suprapatellar bursa effusion ,synovial hyperplasia ,bone erosion of color flow rate and bone erosion of the posi‐tive detection rate were higher than those in normal control group(P<0 .05);Compared with the control group ,the artery resist‐ance index was less ,the femoral condyle and lateral condylar cartilage thickness of RA group increased more(P<0 .05) .High fre‐quency ultrasound positive detection rate suprapatellar bursa effusion ,synovial hyperplasia ,bone erosion in patients of group RA were higher than those of X‐ray(P<0 .05) .The knee joint suprapatellar bursa effusion ,synovial hyperplasia of synovial membrane thickenss ,the thickness of the color blood flow grade and CRP ,ESR of patients in RA group were correlated(P<0 .01) .Conclusion High frequency ultrasound can respond to the situation of early rheumatoid arthritis patients ,and the lesion detection rates are higher ,there is a certain correlation between ultrasonographic indexes and CRP ,ESR .
