Chinese Journal of Emergency Medicine 2010;19(12):1253-1257
Objective To study the safety and efficacy of intensive reduction of blood pressure for the treatment of acute cerebral haemorrhage. Method A randomized control trial in 41 consecutive patients with intracerebral haemorrhage admitted from October 2006 to January 2007 were randomly assigned to intensive blood pressure reduction group ( n = 24) or guidelines blood pressure reduction group ( n = 17) (tho guidelines set by American Association of cardiologists). In the intensive reduction group, the systolic pressure was reduced immediately to lower than 140 mmHg, while the blood pressure was reduced to that just below 180 mmHg in guideline reduction group. The size of the haematoma was measured 24 h after treatment by CT scans and the patients were followed up for 90 days. Death and/or disability in 90 days, and the short-term and long-term neurological function and the size of haematoma in 24 hours of two groups were compared. The outcomes were statistically analyzed with SPSS version 10.0 software. Measurement data were analyzed with t -test while numeration data were analyzed with chisquare test. Results There were no significant differences either in death and/or disability or in short-term and long-term neurological function in 90 days after treatment ( P > 0.05). The mean values of proportional enlargement of haematoma were 16.8% in the intensive group and 36. 1% in the guidelines group 24 hours after treatment ( P = 0.012). The mean values of absolute enlargement of haematoma of two groups were 2.7 mL and 5. 1 mL,respectively (P = 0.058). There was significant difference in rate of enlargement of haematoma in the early stage of acute cerebral haemorrhage (4.2% vs. 47. 1%, P = 0.012). Conclusions Although intensive reduction of blood pressure in patients with acute cerebral haemorrhage did not alter the clinical prognosis of patients, it could apparently attenuate the enlargement of haematoma in the early stage of acute cerebral haemorrhage.

China Pharmacy 2016;27(18):2521-2523
OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of azithromycin sequential therapy in the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia in children. METHODS:67 children with mycoplasma pneumonia were randomly divided into control group(34 cases) and observation group (33 cases). All children received conventional treatment,such as fever,cough,supplemented by nutrition support;based on it,control group received 10 mg/kg Azithromycin for injection,adding into 5% Glucose injection by intrave-nous drip in 200 ml,once a day;observation group received azithromycin(the same dosage with control group)after intravenous drip 5 d,switched to 10 mg/(kg·d)Azithromycin dry suspension,orally,then stopped 4 d after continuous 3 d. The treatment course was 7-10 d. Clinical efficacy,disappearance time of fever,cough and lung rales,and lung indexes before and after treat-ment,and the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were observed. RESULTS:There were no significant differences in the to-tal effective rate,disappearance time of fever,cough and lung rales in 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,the lung function in-dexes were significantly higher than before,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.01),but there was no significant dif-ference between 2 groups (P>0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in observation group was significantly lower than control group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Based on conventional treatment,azithromycin se-quential therapy shows similar efficacy to without sequential therapy in the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia in children,but with better safety.
3.Progress of diagnosis and treatment of tsutsugamushi disease
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2016;31(10):732-736
Tsutsugamushi disease is an acute infectious disease caused by Rickettsia tsutsugamushi.The clinical symptoms of tsutsugamushi disease are varied and non-specific,such as sudden onset fever with chills,rash,skin eschar of ulcer,lymphadenectasis,et al.Patients could combine with multi-organ dysfunction,include respiratory failure,heart failure,mild renal or hepatic dysfunction,circulatory shock or hematological abnormalities.Since the symptoms and signs are non-specific and resemble other tropical infections like malaria,enteric fever,dengue or leptospirosis,appropriate laboratory tests are necessary to confirm diagnosis,and reduce misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis rate.The mainstay of treatment is the tetracycline,chloramphenicol,macrolide and quinolone group of antibiotics.In mild cases,recovery is complete.In severe cases with multi-organ failure,mortality may be as high as 24%.Improve the early diagnosis and timely treatment of the disease,for improving the prognosis of patients,reduce the disease burden is of great significance.
4.Bronchiole-alveolar Carcinoma-Analysis of 10 Autopsy Cases
Journal of Third Military Medical University 1983;0(04):-
Ten autopsy cases of bronchiole-alveolar carcinoma (BAC) were reported. Grossly, BAC may be divided into 3 types, i. e. finely nodular, coarsely nodular and diffuse type. Histologic pattern falls into 2 categories: ' (1) alveolar type, (2) papillary type. Metastasis is most frequently mediated through lymphatics, spreading to the regional lymph nodes. Next, they are spread by blood stream. Brain (meningeal carcinomatosis),bone and adrenal glands are the frequent metastasized sites. Pulmonary fibrosis and scar formation seem to be the predisposing factors to BAC.

Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2016;35(3):326-328
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of different doses of warm needling in treating knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Method Sixty-seven KOA patients were randomized into group A of 16 cases, group B of 17 cases, group C of 18 cases, and group D of 16 cases. Group A, B, and C were intervened by warm needling, 1 moxa cone for group A, 2 cones for group B, and 3 cones for group C. Group D was intervened by intra-articular injection with Sodium hyaluronate. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale (LKSS) were evaluated before and after intervention.Result The VAS and LKSS scores were significantly changed in the four groups after intervention (P<0.01). After intervention, the VAS and LKSS scores in group B and C were significantly different from that in group A (P<0.05,P<0.01). After intervention, the VAS and LKSS scores in group B and C were significantly different from that in group D (P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion Warm needling is an effective method in treating KOA, and warm needling with 2 moxa cones can produce the best effect.

9.The Chinese Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale:An Examination of Its Reliability and Validity
Chinese Journal of Clinical Psychology 2006;0(06):-
Objective: To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of Frost's Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale(FMPS).Methods: One thousand two hundred and eighty Chinese undergraduate students participated in the study and responded to the FMPS and instruments measuring psychological distresses such as anxiety,depression,and obsession-compulsion.Both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to examine the factor structure of the Chinese FMPS.The association between FMPS and psychological distresses was analyzed as an investigation for criterion validity.Results: Factor analyses extracted five of the original six factors of FMPS.PC did not emerge as a dimension.The five subscales were shown to have satisfactory internal consistencies with Cronbach's alpha between 0.64 and 0.81 and test-retest reliability 0.63~0.82.Chinese FMPS was associated with anxiety,depression,and obsession-compulsion.Particularly,CM and DA are correlated with these psychological distresses with coefficients between 0.30 and 0.70.Conclusion: Chinese FMPS is satisfactorily valid and reliable.It is suitable to use in Chinese college students.
