This paper aimed at evaluating the therapeutic effects of acupuncture and moxibustion in treatment of heart-spleen deficiency and observing the improvement effect for insomnia patients′ sleep quality. A total of 70 cases of heart-spleen deficiency were selected as the research data, to the all cases were divided into acupuncture group and controlgroup. Acupuncture group were treated with acupuncture and moxibustion in many acupoints, the control group weretreated with estazolampo. After 3 courses of treatment, the PSQI and TESS of the two groups were observed. The totaleffective rate of the acupuncture group was 94.3%, the total effective rate of the control group was 77.1% (P < 0.05), andthe acupuncture group was more ideal than the control group (P < 0.05) . After treatment the PSQI score and TESS scorein acupuncture group were decreased compared with control group (P < 0.05) . Acupuncture and moxibustion in thetreatment of heart-spleen deficiency insomnia curative effect is ideal and reliable, can effectively decrease the PSQI andTESS score, and has lower auxiliary work compared with taken estazolam.

Objective:
To determine the value of hyperextension MRI evaluation in determining whether to perform decompression therapy after reduction of reducible atlantoaxial dislocation as well as assess the decompression effect.
Methods:
A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze 24 patients with atlantoaxial dislocation admitted to Honghui Hospital affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University from May 2015 to May 2017. There were 10 males and 14 females, aged 40-74 years, with an average age of 52 years. There were 14 patients with os odontoideum, four patients with odontoid fracture, and six patients with transverse atlantal ligament rupture. Hyperextension MRI was performed to assess spinal cord compression for all patients. Eight patients with anterior spinal cord compression (Group A) underwent posterior atlantoaxial arch decompression plus atlantoaxial internal fixation reduction and bone graft fusion; 16 patients without anterior compression of the spinal cord (Group B) underwent only atlantoaxial internal fixation reduction and bone graft fusion. Intraoperative and postoperative complications were recorded. Spinal cord compression index and improvement rate of spinal cord decompression were evaluated by routine cervical spine MRI. Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score was used to evaluate the clinical effect.
Results:
All patients were followed up for 3-24 months, with an average of 9.3 months. There was no nerve or vertebral artery injury during the operation, and no screw loosening occurred after surgery. The spinal cord compression index (0.37±0.18) in Group A at the last follow-up was significantly lower than that before operation (0.73±0.22) (
