Objective To screen thyroid function among planned pregnant women in Chongqing, to guide prenatal and postnatal care. Methods Proportional multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method was adopted to enroll 11 953 planned pregnant women for questionnaire, physical examination, and serum samples collection. Results The median TSH was 2. 04 mIU/ L, P25 = 1. 36 mIU/ L,P75 = 2. 99 mIU/ L. TSH levels being normal, higher, and lower than the reference were 91. 47% , 6. 20% , and 2. 33% , respectively. In Northeast Chongqing, the proportions of median TSH level and TSH level above the upper limit were higher than those in other regions(P<0. 05). With improved education, proportions of TSH above the upper limit and below the lower limit declined(P<0. 05). With the increase in body mass index, the proportion of those whose TSH was above the upper limit showed elevated trend(P<0. 05). In women with history of adverse pregnancy outcomes, their median TSH was higher than that in the control group, and those, whose TSH level exceeded the upper limit, yield higher results than those in the control group(P<0. 05). In women with higher fasting blood glucose The median TSH level was lower than that in normal blood glucose group( P<0. 05), with the fasting plasma glucose concentration and TSH negatively correlated(P<0. 05). Conclusion The abnormal rate of TSH level in planned pregnant women was 8. 53% in Chongqing. The abnormal rate varies by different regions, education levels, body mass indexes, and blood glucose levels. Previous history of adverse pregnancy outcomes was related to elevated TSH levels. It is necessary to take pre-pregnancy thyroid function screening investigation.

Jin's three-needle technique is named after Professor JIN Rui. The connotation of Jin's three-needle technique is summarized by his followers through long-term teaching and clinical practice. His principle and method of point combination are based on syndrome differentiation of acupuncture. And his unique needling technique and treating principle of mental tranquilization also play an important role in his clinical practice.

OBJECTIVETo assess the clinical value of (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin ((99m)Tc-TF) planar and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in comparison with ultrasonography in the diagnosis of breast cancer.

METHODSFifty women underwent (99m)Tc-TF planar imaging, SPECT and ultrasonographic examinations, and with the results of histopathological examination as the golden standard, the diagnostic value of the 3 modalities were compared in the detection of malignancies of the breast neoplasms.

RESULTSThe sensitivity of planar imaging, SPECT and ultrasonography in breast cancer diagnosis was 74.2%, 93.5%, and 87.1%, with specificity of 66.7%, 77.3%, and 80.0%, respectively.

CONCLUSION(99m)Tc-TF imaging is a new and effective method for diagnosis of breast cancer.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of electroacupuncture on the endothelial tissues of microvessels in the basal ganglia in the rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.Methods The MCAO model was established by using Longa's method.The immunohistochemistry SABC(strepto-avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex) method was employed to detect the expression of ICAM-1,P-selectin in the microvessel of rats'ipsilateral basal gan- glia.Results The number of positive ICAM-1 and P-selectin endothelial cells of model group were significantly in- creased,as compared to normal group and sham operated group(P
