The traditional Najiafa (day-prescription of acupoints) can be classified into two schools of YAN Ming-guang and XU Feng. The author studied the YAN Ming-guang and XU Feng Najia fa from the aspects of the academic source, selection of points, existing researches and current application. When compared between the two schools, it is held that Najia fa of YAN Ming-guang school more accords with the law of point selection according to Ziwu Liuzhu Zhenfa (acupuncture based on the midnight-noon and ebb-flow doctrine) in following the original doctrine, selection of points on the base of day-prescription, and time-meridian relation of Sanjiao (triple energizer) and Pericardium meridians. Therefore, it is concluded that the YAN's Najia fa should not be neglected and forgotten. Its inheritage and further study should be carried out so as to enrich the ways of study as well as the prevention and treating methods in clinic.

Objective To study the changes of system immune and intestinal immune in the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease due to obesity. Methods Ninty male SD rats were divided into control, high-sucrose and high-fat diet groups. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease models were established by feeding with high-sucrose diet or high-fat diet and were killed at the 4th,8th and 12th weeks with 10 each for each group. The extent of liver steatosis was observed with HE staining.Portal blood endotoxin level was assessed by limulus test. The percentage of CD4+ and CD8+ cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and lymphocytes in Peyer's patches (PP) were calculated by flowcytometry. Results In comparison with control group, the endotoxin level was not elevated from the 4th week to 12th week in high-sucrose diet group, (all P values＞0.05), but was increased in high-fat diet group at the 8th week (P＜0.05). CD4/CD8 ratio in PBMC was higher in high-sucrose and higt-fat diet groups than that in control group at the 4th week (P＜0. 05) ,but was lower than that in control group at the 8th and 12th weeks (P＜0. 05). Whereas the variation of CD4/CD8 ratio in PP was consisted with that in PBMC between the high-sucrose and high-fat diet groups at the 4 th and 8 th weeks, but there was no difference when compared with control group at the 12 th week (P＞0.05).Conclusion Obesity can inhibit systematic immune and intestinal immune. The intestinal immune may be regulated by the liver.

Objectives To evaluate the effect and safety of Xiao Er Fu Xie Tie in children with acute diarrhea. Methods A multicenter, randomized, open-label, active-controlled clinical trial was carried out in three hospitals from March 2011 to December 2012. Children with acute diarrhea were enrolled and divided randomly into two groups, the observation group (treated with Xiao Er Fu Xie Tie) and the control group (treated with smectite powder). Boths groups received oral rehydration salts treatment. Symptoms and signs were recorded before and after therapy. The therapeutic effect was evaluated at 3 and 5 days after therapy. All of the adverse drug reactions were recorded during the study. Results In 197 children who completed the study, 100 children received Xiao Er Fu Xie Tie and 97 received smectite powder. Both groups were similar in age and gender distribution, weight, duration and frequency of diarrhea, times of vomiting, degree of dehydration and so on (P>0.05). After therapy, effective rates of the observation group at 3 days (97%) and 5 days (100%) were similar to those of control group (P>0.05). The effective rate for relieving vomiting in the observation group was higher than that in control group (P<0.05). No obvious adverse drug reactions were found during the study. Conclusions Xiao Er Fu Xie Tie has the same effect as smectite powder for treatment of acute diarrhea in children and is more effective in vomiting. Furthermore, no obvious adverse drug re-actions were found.

Objective To learn the degree of the asthmatic patients'understanding of the disease, and to provide references for formulating the plan of the asthma patient's education and management infuture.Methods One hundred and one outpatients were surveyed by questionnaire face to face.Results Among 101 patients,the percentages of mild intermittent,mild persistent,moderate persistent and severepersistent asthma assessed by current symptom were 23%,29%,30%,18%.Among these patients thosewho understanding the inflammatory nature of asthma account occupied 70.3%,those who realizing the importance of inhaled corticosteroids(ICS)and taking ICS as the first-line medicine for asthma occupied67.3%,those who knowing the indication about rational use of short-acting beta-2-agonists(SABA)occupied 88.1%,those who realizing the goal of asthmatic therapy occupied 71.3%.All these results were significantly better than both the reporter in the asthma insights and reality in Asia-Pacific and the realizing degree to asthma of the respiratory professionals in Beijing's urban district hospitals in 1997.Conclusion After long term systematic education and management,asthmatic patient's understanding of the disease has been improved greatly.
