Objective:To observe the effect of acupuncture plus medium-frequency electric stimulation on bladder function after radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. Methods:A total of 170 patients confirmed by biopsy and surgical pathology and treated with radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer were randomly divided into an acupuncture group, an observation group and a control group by random digital table. Fifty-six cases in the acupuncture group were treated with acupuncture after surgery, one session each day, till the extubation day; 58 cases in the observation group were treated with acupuncture plus medium-frequency electric stimulation after surgery, one session each day, till the extubation day; and 56 cases in the control group didn't receive any intervention, and the catheter was retained till the extubation day. On the postoperative day 14, all groups were dealt with catheterization to determine the residual urine volume, in order to observe the occurrence rate of urinary retention and the recovery of bladder function and to compare the differences of the therapeutic effects among the groups. Results:The occurrence rates of urinary retention were respectively 16.1%, 20.7% and 46.4% in the acupuncture group, observation group and control group, with significant differences (P<0.05). When comparing the acupuncture group and the observation group with the control group, there were significant differences (bothP<0.05). In comparison between the acupuncture group and the observation group, there was no significant difference (P>0.05). The recovery rates of bladder function in the three group were respectively 42.9%, 60.3% and 41.1% without significant differences (P>0.05). Moreover, there were no significant between-group differences (P>0.05), but acupuncture plus medium-frequency electric stimulation showed a better tendency. Conclusion: The single application of acupuncture therapy is effective and able to prevent urinary retention after radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. Acupuncture plus medium-frequency electric stimulation can effectively enhance the recovery of bladder function and reduce the residual urine volume in the bladder to the maximum.

Objective To compare the clinical therapeutic effects of continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) and continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) for treatment of patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).Methods A prospective observation was conducted, seventy patients with MODS admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine of the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical College from September 2013 to December 2016 were enrolled, and they were divided into a CVVH group and a CVVHDF group according to different treatment, 35 cases in each group. In the CVVH group, the ultrafiltration fluid flow rate was set at 1800 mL/h, while in the CVVHDF group, the flow rate was set at 2000 mL/h for both substitution fluid and dialysate, and the blood flow of the two groups was 150-180 mL/min. The changes of creatinine (SCr), urea nitrogen (BUN), pH value, HCO3-, helper T cell (Th1, Th2) and Th1/Th2 ratio were compared between the two groups before and after treatment for 24, 48 and 72 hours.Results With the extension of time, SCr, BUN were reduced in both groups after treatment compared to those before treatment, 72 hoursafter treatment they reached the lowest value, and the degree of change in CVVHDF group was more significant than that in CVVH group [SCr (μmol/L): 150.62±32.09 vs. 180.41±30.52, BUN (mmol/L): 7.31±2.19 vs. 9.06±2.36. allP < 0.05], after treatment; the pH value, HCO3- level in the two groups had a tendency at first elevated and then lowered, 48 hours after treatment they reached the peak values, compared with those before treatment, the differences were statistically significant [CVVH group: the pH value 7.42±0.08 vs. 7.25±0.10, HCO3- (mmol/L) was 22.49±5.11 vs. 15.65±4.16; CVVHDF group: pH value 7.41±0.04 vs. 7.24±0.11, HCO3- (mmol/L) 23.24±4.78 vs. 15.65±4.16, allP < 0.05], 72 hours after treatment, they began reduced (CVVH group: pH value, HCO3- were 7.39±0.09, 22.35±4.91 respectively, CVVHDF group: pH value, HCO3- were 7.38±0.06, 23.13±4.61 respectively), but they were still significantly higher than those before treatment, and at each time point compared between the two groups, no statistical significant difference was seen (allP > 0.05). With the extension of therapeutic time, Th1, Th1/Th2 in two groups were gradually elevated after treatment, and 72 hours after treatment they reached the peak values; Th2 showed a trend of gradual decrease and after 72 hours of treatment it reached the lowest value, and the changes in CVVHDF group were more significant than those in CVVH group [Th1 (×10-2): 1.51±0.12 vs. 1.21±0.11, Th2 (×10-2): 1.64±0.65 vs. 1.70±0.18, Th1/Th2: 0.91±0.14 vs. 0.71±0.15, allP < 0.05].Conclusion Both CVVH and CVVHDF can effectively remove inflammatory mediators and metabolic products, adjust the balance of acid and base, regulate immune system in the body of patients with MODS, and the CVVHDF is more effective than CVVH.

While the medicine pattern of biomedicine turn to biological-psychology-society, the medical trouble communication becomes more and more important in the medical service. Good medical trouble communication ability is the essential condition of doctor. As oral cavity clinicians, only by gasping the principle of communication can we appropriately utilize some skills of communication exchange,establish the good medical trouble relations with the patient and achieve the good treatment result finally.

Objective: To observe the effect of different moxibustion durations on rats with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to evaluate the relationship between moxibustion amount and moxibustion efficacy.Methods: Eight rats were randomly selected as a normal group from the 40 male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, and the other 32 rats were used to establish typeⅡ collagen-induced RA models. After successful modeling, the 32 rats were randomly divided into a model group, a moxibustion for 20 min group, a moxibustion for 40 min group and a moxibustion for 60 min group, with 8 rats in each group. Rats in the normal group did not receive modeling and moxibustion intervention; rats in the model group did not receive moxibustion after modeling; rats in the moxibustion for 20 min group, the moxibustion for 40 min group and the moxibustion for 60 min group were treated with moxibustion at Shenshu (BL 23) and Zusanli (ST 36) for 20 min, 40 min and 60 min, respectively. Six days were a course of treatment, with a total of 3-course treatments and a 1-day rest between the courses of treatment. After treatment, the serum levels of interleukin (IL)-1β and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, arthritis index (AI) scores, toe volumes and pathological score of synovitis were evaluated in the rats.Results: Compared with the normal group, the serum IL-1β and TNF-α levels, and the toe volumes in the model group were increased, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.01), before the treatment. Compared with the model group, the serum IL-1β and TNF-α levels, toe volumes and arthritis index (AI) scores were significantly decreased in the moxibustion for 20 min group, the moxibustion for 40 min group and the moxibustion for 60 min group (P<0.05 orP<0.01 ). Compared with the moxibustion for 20 min group and the moxibustion for 60 min group, serum IL-1β and TNF-α levels, toe volumes and AI scores were decreased more significantly in moxibustion for 40 min group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05 orP<0.01). There were no significant differences in serum IL-1β and TNF-α levels, AI scores and toe volumes between the moxibustion for 20 min group and the moxibustion for 60 min group (allP>0.05). The synovial histopathological improvement was the most obvious in the moxibustion for 40 min group, when the synovial histopathological changes were compared among the moxibustion for 20 min group, moxibustion for 40 min group and moxibustion for 60 min group.Conclusion: The therapeutic efficacy of moxibustion for 40 min in RA rats was more significant than that of moxibustion for 20 min and moxibustion for 60 min, indicating that the duration of moxibustion is the main factor affecting its therapeutic efficacy.

The stable and controllable quality of decoction pieces is an important factor to ensure the efficacy of clinical medicine. Considering the dilemma that the existing standardization of processing mode cannot effectively eliminate the variability of quality raw ingredients, and ensure the stability between different batches, we first propose a new strategy for Chinese medicine processing technologies that coupled with individuation processed and cybernetics. In order to explain this thinking, an individual study case about different grades aconite is provided. We hope this strategy could better serve for clinical medicine, and promote the inheritance and innovation of Chinese medicine processing skills and theories.
