ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of Yaotongxue(Ex-UE7)finger manipulation plus ultrashort waves in treating acute lumbar sprain.MethodForty-two patients with acute lumbar sprain were enrolled and randomized into groups. The control group received lumbar ultrashort waves treatment and the observation group, Yaotongxue finger manipulation in addition. Pain relief and activities of daily living were assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Barthel Index before and after one and five sessions of treatment.ResultThere was no statistically significant pre-treatment difference in the VAS score between the two groups (P>0.05). After one and five sessions of treatment, the VAS score was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group and there was a statistically significant difference (P<0.05); the Barthel Index score was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group and there was a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). at three months of follow-up, the VAS score and the Barthel Index score were basically normal; there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups (P>0.05). No adverse events occurred during the study.ConclusionYaotongxue finger manipulation plus ultrashort waves is safe and highly effective in treating acute lumbar sprain.

Objective] From the Chinese point of view of haze-induced lung injury pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment, it provides theoretical support. [Method] To exogenous disease TCM theory, the nature of the haze of evils, a sense of evil ways and pathogenic characteristics, etc. based on the analysis of the haze of the etiology and pathogenesis of lung injury, the basic pathogenesis are analyzed and discussed. [Results] For haze pathogenic proposed basic principles should be taken to the prevention, prevention is greater than cure, the treatment should be Quxie, and to righten. Work using the method of elimination of pathogens through purgation and churesis.[Conclusion]For haze urgent treatment, prevention and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine for haze-induced lung injury has very important theoretical and practical value.

objective: To investigate the effect of electrical stimulation on the treament of Sjogren's syndrom(SS) . Methods: Ten SS patients were treated with electrical stimulation at less than 6 V and 9 mA of the current for 6 min each time and three times each day, the treatment was countinued for 20 days. The symptom of dry mouth was classified into 0,1,2,3 and 4 according to a treatment emergent symptom scale (TESS). Unstimulated and stimulated whole saliva flow rates on chewing medical paraffin were determined before and after treatment.Results: The symptom of dry mouth was markedly improved in two SS patients, moderately in 2 and slightly in 5. No improvement was found in 1 case. Before and 1, 2 and 3 weeks after treatment unstimulated whole saliva flow rate(ml/min) was 0.14?0.35, 0.14?0.38, 0.16 ?0.35 and 0.22?0.42; stimulated 0.58?0.40, 0.61?0.41, 0.78?0.37 and 0.90?0.39, respectively.Conclusion: Electrical stimulation can markedly improve the symptom of dry mouth in the patients with SS.

Objective To observe and compare the changes of Intermedin's contents in plasma and bron-choalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in rats with hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. Methods male Wistar rats were ran-domly divided into control group and 1,2 and 3 weeks hypoxia group. Intermedin's contents in plasma and bronchoal-veolar lavage fluid were measured by radioimmunoassay. Results Intermedin's contents in plasma and bronchoalveo-lar lavage fluid were markedly increaseded compared with control group. Meanwhile transformational trend is consist-ent between plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage. Conclusions Intermedin's contents in plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage increase ,which shows that there is protection and moderation to hypoxic pulmonary hypertension.

Objective To observe the clinical effects of sufentanil combined with sevoflurane for anesthesia induction in the elderly.Methods A total of 84 patients undergoing elective laparoscopic were randomly divided into 4 groups by dose of Sufentanil (21 cases,each):0.25,0.50,0.75 and 1.00 μg/kg sufentanil.Mean arterial pressure (MAP)and heart rate (HR)were measured at baseline (To),immediately before intubation(T1),immediately,1,3 and 5 min after intubation(T2-5).Intubation scores were also recorded.Results The intubation scores including visual analogue score (VAS) and Ramsay score at 10 min,30 min and 60 min after tube drawing were as the following sequence:1.0 μg/kg ＞ 0.75 μg/kg ＞0.5 μg/kg ＞ 0.25 μg/kg sufentanil (F =5.78.P＜ 0.05).Compared with T0,MAP and HR decreased in each group at T1,while increased at T2 in group A (P＜0.05).As compared with T0,MAP was decreased and HR was slower at T1 in the 4 groups (F=34.99,P＜0.05),but MAP level was increased in 0.25 μg/kg sufentanil group at T2 (F=12.48,P＜0.05).Compared with group of 0.25 μg/kg sufentanil,MAP was reduced in 0.75 μg/kg and 1.00 μg/kg groups at T4 andT5 (F =6.98,6.25,P＜0.05).MAP was also lower in 0.75μg/kg and 1.00μg/kg groups than in 0.50 μg/kg sufentanil group at T2-T5(F=7.08,20.56,P＜0.05).Conclusions Sufentanil of 0.25 0.50 μg/kg combined with sevoflurane can provide excellent intubating conditions and stable hemodynamics during anesthesia induction in patients undergoing gynecologic surgery.

0.05). Conclusion Compound salbutamol sulfate aerosol was able to improve the symptoms of patients with asthma, and the efficacy and safety of this drug are similar to that of Combivent.

Objective To explore the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in diagnosis of esophagogastric varices (EGV) compared with color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI). Methods CDFI and CEUS were performed on 23 variceal patients based on the B mode ultrasound examination. The blood flow of esophageal varices (EV) or gastric varices (GV) displayed with CDFI and CEUS were compared. Results The flow signal demonstration rate of EV with CDFI and CEUS was 42.11% (8/19) and 73.68% (14/19), while that of GV with CDFI and CEUS was 76.47% (13/17) and 94.12% (16/17), respectively. CEUS displayed the flow signal of EV better than CDFI did (χ~2=4.17, P＜0.05), but the flow signal demonstration rate of GV was not significantly different (χ~2=1.33, P＞0.05). Conclusion CEUS can be used more extensively in clinic practice for diagnosis of EGV.

Objective To investigate the adjustment and value of lymphocyte G protein-coupled receptor kinase-2 (GRK2) protein levels in patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS). Methods Forty-two patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP), 44 patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP), 43 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and 46 patients with normal coronary angiography (NCA) in hospital were enrolled in this study. Lymphocyte GRK2 protein levels were analyzed by Western blot in 24 h after admitted to hospital. Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis was performed based on 24 h Holter electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring. Cardiac functions were measured using ultrasonic cardiogram. The results were compared and the relationship between GRK2 protein levels and HRV, cardiac functions index was analyzed. Results The level of lymphocyte GRK2 in AMI group, UAP group, SAP group and NCA group was (209.8 ± 63.9)%, (165.6 ± 60.2)%, (131.7 ± 51.8)% and (125.3 ± 50.6)%. The levels of lymphocyte GRK2 in AMI group and UAP group was significantly higher than that in SAP group and NCA group .Moreover, the level of GRK2 was the highest in AMI group, and there were significant differences (P<0.01). The level of lymphocyte GRK2 had negative correlation with high frequency(HF), low frequency(LF), LF/HF, standard deviation NN interval (SDNN), standard deviation of the average normal RR interval for 5-minute segments (SDNNI) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (r =-0.52,-0.47,-0.53,-0.56,-0.49,-0.51, P < 0.01). Conclusions The rise of lymphocyte GRK2 protein levels is significantly associated with increased sympathetic nerve excitability and deterioration of cardiac function.
