Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of scalp acupuncture on allomnesia post stroke. Methods 60 stroke patients with allomnesia were randomly divided into observation group (n=30) and control group (n=30). The control group accepted routine rehabilitation training for 4 weeks, while the observation group accepted scalp acupuncture in addition. They were evaluated with Rivermead Behavioral Memory Test (RBMT-II) before and after treatment. Results RBMT-Ⅱ scores improved in both groups after treatment (P<0.05), and improved more in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Scalp acupuncture may improve the effects of rehabilitation on the memory dysfunction in patients with stroke.

Objective To investigate the correlation between mechanical ventilation (MV) initiation time during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the prognosis of patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in emergency . Methods Retrospective analysis of clinical records of patients with IHCA in emergency from January 2011 to April 2016 treated in Zhangye People's Hospital of Hexi University was performed. Patients with restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and were on MV with aged over 18 years were divided into early treated group (≤ 10 minutes) and later treated group (> 10 minutes) according to the initiation time of MV. Corneal reflex, pupillary reflex, pain-avoidance responses and motor response 24 hours after CPR, neurological function and cure rate of the two groups were analyzed. Results 210 patients were selected into our study including 130 males and 80 females (mean age: 60.24±13.17 years). There were no significant differences in gender, age, type of heart rate and etiological factor of cardiac arrest (CA) between the MV early stage group (124 cases) and the MV late stage group (86 cases). The restoration of corneal reflex, pupillary reflex, pain-avoidance responses, motor response and achievement ratio of CPR in early group were higher than those of later group (respectively, 59.68% vs. 31.40%, 59.68% vs. 31.40%, 54.84% vs. 24.42%, 54.84% vs. 24.42%, 70.16% vs. 51.16%, all P < 0.01); The D-dimer levels in the early group patients were significantly lower than those in the later group (μg/L: 478.39±57.21 vs. 510.05±62.83, P < 0.01). However, no statistical difference was observed between the two groups with respect to pH (7.24±0.72 vs.7.13±0.67, P > 0.05); The average hospitalized day of the early group was significantly shorter than that of the later group (days: 24.15±3.04 vs. 30.28±4.17, P < 0.01); Besides, the early group showed a higher survival rate at discharge and had more cases with neurologic level of grade 1-2 than those of the later group (Respectively, 41.94% vs. 26.74%, P < 0.05; 44.35% vs. 15.12%, P < 0.01). Conclusion Initiation MV on IHCA patients in the early stage of CPR (≤ 10 minutes) could help improve the hypoxic condition and prognosis of neurological function, and increase the achievement ratio of CPR.

Objective To observe the effect of Du-moxibustion on cognitive impairment after stroke. Methods 60 patients with cognitive impairment after stroke were randomly divided into control group (n=30) and treatment group (n=30). They were treated with conventional medical treatment and rehabilitation training, the treatment group received Du-moxibustion treatment in addition with once a day, 6 days per week for 8 weeks. They were evaluated with modified Barthel Index (MBI) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) before and after treatment. Results The scores of MBI and MoCA increased after treatment (P<0.05) in both groups and the scores were higher in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Du-moxibustion can further improve the cognitive function and activities of daily living in stroke patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of sevoflurane preconditioning on the expression of pulmonary angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) mRNA in lung tissues during lung ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods Fifty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 250-320 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =18 each):sham operation group (group S),I/R group and sevoflurane preconditioning group (group SP).The animals were anesthetized,tracheostomized and mechanically ventilated.Lung I/R was induced by clamping the left pulmonary hilum for 45 min followed by 120 min reperfusion in groups I/R and SP.While the left pulmonary hilum was only isolated but not ligated in group S.2.1％ sevoflurane was inhaled for 30 min,and lung I/R was induced 10 min after the end of inhalation in group SP.Six rats in each group were chosen at 30,60 and 120 min of reperfusion and sacrificed,lungs were removed for determination of wet/dry lung weight (W/D) ratio,MPO activity (by colorimetric method) and the expression of ACE mRNA (by RT-PCR) and for microscopic examination in lung tissues.Results Compared with group S,the W/D ratio,MPO activity and expression of ACE mRNA were significantly increased in groups I/R and SP (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group I/R,the W/D ratio,MPO activity and expression of ACE mRNA were significantly decreased in group SP (P ＜ 0.05).Microscopic examination showed that the pathologic changes were significantly attenuated in group SP compared with group I/R.Conclusion Sevoflurane preconditioning can reduce lung I/R injury through downing-regulating the expression of ACE mRNA in rats.

None became lame, and the functions of lower limbs were completely recovered. Conclusions So far as indications and contra-indications of Ender nail fixation are strictly followed, this treatment for femoral shaft fractures in children of age 5~10 years gives characters of small incision, anatomic reduction, unimpaired periosteum, short hospital stay, and quick functional recovery.

Objective To summarize our experiences on open heart surgery through the right subaxillary small incision. Methods Between March 2001 and June 2008,612 patients with congenital heart diseases were treated by open surgery trough a right subaxillary small incision via hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. The incision was made from the posterior axillary line at the axilla to the middle axillary line a the fifth intercostal space (4-8 cm in length),and then the intercostal muscle was cut at the inferior edge of the fourth rib for the entrance into the chest cavity. In this series,165 patients had ASD,403 had VSD,35 had ASD complicated with VSD,3 showed PECD,and 6 were found as PAPVC. Results The mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was (25.0?5.5) min,402 of the patients (65.6%) need no blood transfusion. The mean hospital stay was (6.0?4.5) d,no patient died in hospital. The 420 patients were followed up for 5 to 80 months (mean 47 months). During the period,cardiac ultrasonography showed good outcomes in the patients. No complications or death were detected. Conclusions Right subaxillary small incision is a safe and minimally invasive method for the treatment of ASD and VSD with quick recovery,less hemorrhage,shorter hospital stay,less complications,and satisfying cosmetic outcomes.
