Objective To compare the clinical efficacies of electroacupuncture plus rehabilitation training versus electroacupuncture alone in treating lumbar intervertebral disc herniation and evaluate the therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture plus rehabilitation training. Method Seventy-two patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation were randomly allocated to a treatment group of 36 cases and a control group of 36 cases. The control group received electroacupuncture at Huatuo jiaji(Ex-B2) points. In addition to electroacupuncture, the treatment group received lumbodorsal muscle stretch training according to the outcome (forward flexion and backward extension) obtained using the Turgunmed testing and evaluating system. Isokinetic muscle strength and the activity were measured and the ODI lumbago score and the VAS pain score were recorded before and after treatment. Result There were statistically significant differences in isokinetic muscle strength and the VAS pain score (P<0.01,P<0.05) but no in the activity and the ODI lumbago score (P>0.05) between the treatment and control groups. Conclusion Electroacupuncture plus rehabilitation training is more effective than electroacupuncture alone in improving isokinetic muscle strength and the VAS pain score in patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation.

Objective To explore the incidence of the right to left shunt (RLS) originated from patent foramen ovale (PFO) and/or pulmonary (PFO-RLS and/or P-RLS). Methods The transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and contrast transthoracic echocardiography (cTTE) were performed in 42 consecutive healthy adults. An agitated saline solution was used as contrast agent. According to the time that microbubbles (MB) occurred in the left atrium within or beyond the ifrst 3 cardiac cycles after contrast appearance in the right atrium, the RLS was identiifed as PFO-RLS or P-RLS. The RLS were semi-quantitated and graded in a three-level categorization according to the number of MB appearanced in the left atrium in every single frame image:level 1 indicated ≤10 MB, namely mild RLS;level 2 indicated 11-30 MB, namely moderate RLS and level 3 indicated>30 MB, namely severe RLS. The reseach mainly focused on:(1) How many PFO and PFO-RLS existed in healthy adults? What was the size of PFO in healthy adults ? (2) Was there any P-RLS could be detected in healthy adults and what was the incidence of P-RLS ? (3) Was there any relationship between the RLS and Valsalva maneuver ? (4) The semi-quantitation and grading of the RLS originated from different sources. Results In 42 healthy adults, 13 cases (13/42, 30%) were diagnosed as PFO by TEE. The width of PFO was (1.46±0.18) mm (1-3 mm) and the length of PFO was (7.23±1.09) mm (4-14 mm). In 42 healthy adults, 30 cases (30/42, 71%) were diagnosed as RLS by cTTE. In 4 cases, the RLS were originated both from PFO and pulmanory, so ifnally there were 12 PFO-RLS (12/42, 29%) and 22 P-RLS (22/42, 52%). Most of PFO-RLS occurred during Valsalva maneuver, especially at the end of Valsalva maneuver, except 1 case in which PFO-RLS occurred at rest condition. Most of P-RLS occurred during rest condition (14) and few occurred after Valsalva maneuver (8). The incidence of PFO-RLS was lower than that of P-RLS. The difference between the two incidences was signiifcant (χ2=4.941, P=0.026). The diagnose for PFO was consistent in 11 cases between TEE and cTTE. But 2 cases were only diagnosed as PFO by TEE and 1 case were only diagnosed as PFO-RLS by cTTE. The semi-quantiifcation grading of RLS was signiifcant different between PFO-RLS and P-RLS (Z=-3.901, P=0.000). In 12 PFO-RLS, there were 6 cases in level 2 and 6 cases in level 3. In 22 P-RLS, there were 11 cases in level 1, 10 cases in level 2 and 1 case in level 3. Conclusions In healthy adults, PFO with a small amount RLS is common and its incidence is about a quarter. The detecting of PFO-RLS must be supplemented by a valsalva maneuve. In healthy adults, the P-RLS is also common and its semi-quantiifcation grading is lower than that of the PFO-RLS. The incidence, detecting inlfuence factor and the clinical signiifcant of the P-RLS are still not very clear and need more study.

The clinical efficacy and safety of topical propranolol hydrochloride gel in the treatment of superficial infantile hemangiomas (IHs) were assessed. Fifty-one cases of IHs from Oct. 2010 to Sept. 2011 were subjected to the topical propranolol hydrochloride gel intervention in Fuzhou General Hospital of Nanjing Military Commands, China. Changes in size, texture, color, peak systolic velocity of the hemangiomas, resistance index and adverse effects were observed. The results were evaluated by using Achauer system, and responses of IHs to pranpronolol were considered scale II (poor) in 4 patients (17.24%), scale II (moderate) in 18 patients (24.14%), scale III (good) in 22 patients (44.83%) and scale IV (excellent) in 7 patients (13.79%). The response of superficial hemangiomas was significantly better than other hemangiomas (P<0.05), and no differences in response were found among different primary sites (P>0.05). Our study indicates that topical application of 3% propranolol hydrochloride gel is effective and safe in treating IHs.

Objective To explore the application value of CT perfusion imaging for predicting the tiny lymph nodes metastasis and micrometastasis of squamous cell carcinoma in cervix after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.Methods The clinical data and CT perfusion parameters of 46 patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery were enrolled in the study.Based on the surgical pathology findings and short-term follow up,the cases were divided into without tiny lymph nodes metastasis (short axle diameter of lymph nodes＜10 mm) group (n=32) and with tiny lymph nodes metastasis group (n=14).All perfusion data were analyzed retrospectively and the diagnostic value were investigated.Results Blood flow (BF),blood volume (BV) and the maximum diameter of tumor per-chemotherapy in with tiny lymph nodes metastasis group were higher than those in without tiny lymph nodes metastasis group (all P＜0.05).The differences of the maximum diameter of tumor after chemotherapy,permeability,time to peak (TTP) between two groups were not statistically significant (all P＞0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed BF and the maximum diameter of tumor per-chemotherapy were independent predictors of the tiny lymph nodes metastasis in cervix after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.ROC showed BF (AUC=0.86,P＜0.001,95％CI [0.75,0.96]) had higher predictive value than maximum diameter of tumor per-chemotherapy (AUC=0.70,P=0.02,95 ％ CI [0.54,0.88]).Conclusion CT perfusion imaging shows the significant predictive value for the tiny lymph nodes metastasis of squamous cell carcinoma in cervix after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Objective To investigate the trend in birth weight of term infants delivered in Miyun Hospital in recent ten years, and its relationship with cesarean section rate, to provide evidence for health care during pregnancy and lowering the cesarean section rate. MethodsSingleton term live-birth newborns in Beijing Miyun Hospital from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2009 were admitted into this study.Trends of birth weight, microsomia rate and cesarean section rate were analyzed. Results(1) There were 14 716 singleton term live-birth newborns delivered in the tenyear period, among which 7642 males and 7074 females with the proportion of male and female of 1.08 : 1. One thousand seven hundred and seventy-three (12.0％) microsomia were delivered, and the number of low birth weight infants was 180 (1.2％). (2) The birth weight of term infants was from 1200 g to 5850 g and the average birth weight was (3422±447) g. The average birth weight of each year increased, and the differences among each year showed statistical significance (F= 15. 337,P＜0.01). (3) The percentage of microsomia of each year increased, and the differences among each year also showed statistical significance (x2= 125. 285, P＜0. 01).(4) The cesarean section rate increased from 49.9％ in 2000 to 57.1％ in 2009 with statistical difference (x2 =180. 883, P＜0.01).(5) The cesarean section rate increased with the average birth weight of the singleton live-birth term infants in the 10 years from 52.2 ％ in those ＜2500 g to 85.4 ％ in those 4500 g～, and the differences had statistical significance (x2 =518. 519, P＜0. 01). ConclusionsCesarean section rate had close correlation with birth weight in term birth infants.It is suggested that prenatal care should be strengthened and nutrition guidance during pregnancy should be paid more attention.

Objective To investigate the effect of restraint stress on liver injury in mice induced by D-galactosamine and lipopolysaccharide (D+L).Methods Normal BALB/c (B/c) mice were randomly divided into normal control, stress control, D+L group, and D+L+stress group.The mice of normal control group were bred routinely.The stress group was giv-en stress regularly and quantitatively.Mice in the D+L group were injected intraperitoneally with mixed solution of D-galac-tosamine and lipopolysaccharide at final concentration of 30 mg/mL and 2μg/mL, respectively, once every two days.The D+L+stress group was given equal stress as stress group after injection of D-galactosamine and lipopolysaccharide mixed solution. Eight weeks later, blood samples were collected to test serum aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), liver tissue samples from all animals were collected to evaluate the degree of liver fibrosis by HE and Masson staining.Results At the 8th week, the ALT and AST values in the D+L+stress group were significantly reduced( P＜0.01) and AST/ALT value was significantly increased(P＜0.01)compared with that in the D+L group.For HE and Masson staining, disordered structure of hepatic lobules, nodular hyperplasia, and necrosis of epithelial cells were present in animals of the D+L group.However, no obvious pathological changes were observewd in the D+L+stress group.For fibrosis scores, the fibrosis grade in the D+L+stress group was significantly decreased than that of the D+L group (P＜0.05).Conclusions Constraint stress presents pro-tective effect on D-galactosamine and lipopolysaccharide induced liver injury in mice.

Objective The aim of this study was to establish a mouse model of chronic hepatic injury induced by low dose carbon tetrachloride ( CCl4 ) .Methods Twenty SPF male B/C mice ( body weight 18-20 g) were randomly di-vided into three groups including the CCl 4-treated group , oil-treated group and non-treated control group ( n=5/group ) . Mice in the CCl4-treated group were intraperitoneally injected with 0.5% CCl4 prepared in oil.Mice in the oil group re-ceived intraperitoneal injection of oil .Mice in the non-treated control group were left untreated .After 6 weeks, the serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were measured, as well structure, cellular morphology and degree of fibrosis of the hepatic tissues were examined by histology with HE and Masson staining .Results After low dose CCL4 treatment, the serum ALT and AST were significantly increased (P =0.00).Histology with HE stai-ning showed extensive vacuolar degeneration of hepatic epithelial cells and large number of necrotic foci .Histology with Masson staining revealed fibrous hyperplasia mainly located around hepatic lobules .Quantitative analysis of the fibrosis showed that the degree of fibrosis and the integrated optical density of fibrosis were significantly increased after CCl 4 induc-tion( P=0.00) .Conclusion Low dose carbon tetrachloride can induce hepatic injury in B /C mouse models presenting pathological changes of hepatic injury and fibrosis .
