Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus Chinese herbs in treating sensorineural hearing loss.Method Eighty patients with sensorineural hearing loss were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 40 cases in each group. The control group was intervened by conventional medication, while the treatment group by acupuncture in addition to the intervention given to the control group. The two groups were intervened once a day, 30 days as a treatment course. The serum interleukin (IL)-2, IL-6, soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) levels and pure tone hearing threshold value were observed before and after consecutive 2 treatment courses, and the clinical efficacies in the two groups were compared.Result The serum levels of IL-2, IL-6 and sIL-2R and pure tone hearing threshold value were significantly changed after the treatment in the two groups (P<0.05). There were significant differences in the serum IL-2, IL-6, sIL-2R levels and pure tone hearing threshold value between the two groups after the treatment (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 94.6% in the treatment group versus 84.2% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture plus Chinese herbs is an effective approach in treating sensorineural hearing loss.

Alport syndrome (AS) is a hereditary glomerular basement membrane disease characterized by hematuria, progressive renal hypofunction, usually with nervous deafness and ocular lesions, and its pathogenesis is the mutation in genes encoding the type Ⅳ collagen. Diagnosis of AS should combine with clinical manifestations, renal pathologic changes, immunofluorescence examination and gene diagnosis. At present, AS hasn t had any cure measure yet. As the pathogenesis of AS is much clearer in recent years, the researches of gene diagnosis and gene therapy have got some gratifying achievements.

In the teaching of Medical Microbiology,the writers use problem based learning pattern and traditional teaching methods together to complement each other according to the characteristics of students. They improve the quality of teachers constantly,reform the old methods of teaching and evaluation system in order to improve the students'clinical work ability and train their innovation thoughts.

This article try to illustrate the relationship of self value and personality by paraphrasing these two concepts,and deduce the effects of self value to personality from this.This article also point out the questions how to direct and help university students to set proper self value and then modle healthy personality.It bring forward supposition of the resolvement of the questions.On the base of the demonstrative research we carry out a validative research.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in treating anxiety and depression due to vertebrobasilar insufficient vertigo (VBIV).Method Eighty-two patients with anxiety and depression due to VBIV were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 41 cases in each group. The control group was intervened by conventional medication, while the treatment group was by acupuncture in addition to the treatments given to the control group. The Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), and Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (TESS) were evaluated before and after intervention.Result The HAMA, HAMD, SAS, and SDS scores were significantly changed after intervention in both groups (P<0.05). After treatment, the HAMA score in the treatment group was significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05). The TESS scores were significantly changed after treatment in both groups (P<0.01). After intervention, the TESS score in the treatment group was significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.01).Conclusion Acupuncture is an effective approach in treating anxiety and depression due to VBIV, and it can reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions.

Objective To compare the strength of oxidative stress from different concentrations of oxygen administered by the accumulation of hydroxyl radicals during early reperfusion after global brain ischemia.Methods Sixteen adult male Mongolian gerbils with microdialysis probes implanted in the hippocampal CA1 were divided randomly (random number)into two groups (n =8 in each).All gerbils of both groups were subjected to 10 min bilateral carotid artery occlusion (BCAO).Then the following intervention:(a) immediate 30% O2 (near normoxia,NO group ) and (b ) immediate 100% O2 (hyperoxia,HO group).The accumulation of hydroxyl radicals (·OH)in hippocampus during reperfusion was estimated by measuring 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA ) and 2,5-DHBA in microdialysis perfusate.Results Immediately after the onset of reperfusion,two groups showed markedly elevated DHBA,which returned to baseline gradually.Compared with the NO group,the HO group showed significantly higher peak DHBA and slower recovery.Conclusions Hydroxyl radical accumulation was more sensitive to inhalation of high concentration O2 during early reperfusion of global cerebral ischemia.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of rehabilitation training on restenosis following stent implantation in patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease METHODS:A computer.based online search of VIP database was performed to search articles regarding restenosis following stent implantation and rehabilitation treatment for patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease,published between January 2000 and October 2009,with key words"coronary artery,stent implantation,intracoronary restenosis,rehabilitation exercise".The data were collected,and the references of each article were reviewed A total of 20 articles were included.RESULTS:Intracoronary stent has become an effective treatment for coronary atherosclerotic heart disease,and intracoronary restenosis has been focused in clinical studies.Prophase treatment following stent implantation is very important for coronary atherosclerotic heart disease.Rehabilitation exercise in combination with antiplatelet anticoagulatiOn and lipid treatment can reconstruct coronary arterial blood transport and significantly reduce incidence of restenosis and thrombus.CONCLUSION:Regular rehabilitation exercise following stent implantation can ameliorate degree of vascular restenosis.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus medication in treating sudden hearing loss.Method Sixty patients with sudden hearing loss were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture plus medication, while the control group was intervened by medication alone. The two groups were treated once a day, 10 d as a treatment course. The pure-tone hearing threshold, plasma endothelin (ET) content, comparative and absolute counting of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were observed before the treatment and after 2 treatment courses, and the clinical efficacies were compared. Result The pure-tone hearing threshold, plasma ET content, comparative counting and absolute counting of EPCs were significantly changed after the treatment in both groups (P<0.05). After the intervention, the pure-tone hearing threshold, plasma ET content, comparative counting and absolute counting of EPCs in serum of the treatment group were significantly different from those of the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 92.6% in the treatment group versus 82.1% in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture plus medication is an effective method in treating sudden hearing loss.
