Objective To explore the characteristics of constitution according to traditional Chinese medicine and the anxiety susceptibility of the population, providing the theoretical basis for carrying out population intervention in anxiety and taking full advantage of the preventive treatment by investigating anxiety emotion of patients. Methods A cross-sectional study method was adopted. 317 anxiety patients were recruited into an observation group and another 251 anxiety patients were recruited into a control group. Based on the traditional Chinese medicine constitution scale we defined every participant’s constitution type and got the distribution of different constitution types among all the participants. Then we usedχ2 test and binary regression to analyze the impact of constitution on anxiety. Result The observation group constitution type distribution:Qi stagnation(19.24%), Qi deficiency(16.40%), blood stasis(15.46%), damp heat (11.04%), Yang deficiency(10.41%), Yin deficiency(8.83%), phlegm dampness(6.62%), mild quality(5.99%), special intrinsic quality(5.99%). The control group constitution type distribution:damp heat(17.53%), Yin deficiency (14.34%), phlegm dampness (13.94%), Yang deficiency(11.55%),mild quality (11.55%), Qi stagnation (8.76%), Qi deficiency (8.37%), blood stasis (7.97%), special intrinsic quality (5.98%). The result ofχ2 test showed that the distribution of constitution types among participants in the observation group were different from that in the control group and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.001). Three kinds of constitution types(Qi stagnation, Qi deficiency, Blood stasis)showed a different distribution percentage in the observation group(51.10%)and the control group(25.10%, P<0.01). In the observation group, the distribution ratio among Qi stagnation, Qi deficiency, blood stasis had no significant differences (P>0.05). The binary regression result showed that the three constitutions of Qi stagnation, Qi deficiency and blood stasis had significantly positive correlation with anxiety(P<0.05). Odds ratios showed Exp of Qi stagnation, Qi deficiency and blood stasis was 4.447, 3.942 and 3.929. while the other six constitutions are independent factors to anxiety. Conclusion Qi stagnation, Qi deficiency and blood stasis constitutions were possible risk factors for anxiety.

Objective To investigate the effect and safety of transcutaneous electrical stimulation at Zusanli acupoint for elimination of gastrointestinal poison in patients with oral organophosphorus pesticide poisoning. Methods A prospective study was conducted, including 62 patients with oral organophosphorus pesticide poisoning from September 2013 to February 2015 in the Department of Emergency of Xingtai People's Hospital of Hebei Province. The patients were divided into a observation group and a control group (each, 31 cases) in accord with the principle of simple random sampling. All the patients in two groups were given comprehensive treatment according to the diagnosis and treatment of the guide for organic phosphorus pesticide poisoning. In addition, the transcutaneous electrical stimulation at bilateral Zusanli acupoints was carried out in the observation group, once therapeutic time 30 minutes and every 8 hours once, and stopped until the discharge of melena. The incidence of vomiting after application of cathartics, the first stool time, the time of melena discharge, daily defecation frequency, the time of reaching atropinization, the total amount of atropine used, the time of cholinesterase (ChE) activity returning to its 1/2 normal activity, the length of stay in hospital, cure rate and mortality were observed in both groups. The changes in hemodynamics and pulse blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) were observed before and after transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation, and the occurrence of adverse reactions in the therapeutic course were observed in the observation group.Results After application of cathartics, the incidence of vomiting in control group was significantly higher than that in the observation group [32.2% (10/31) vs. 9.7% (3/31),P < 0.05]. In the observation group, the first stool time (hours: 9.3±3.6 vs. 11.6±5.2) and the time of melena discharge (hours: 11.3±5.3 vs. 14.5±6.8) were significantly shorter than those in the control group (both P < 0.05); while the frequency of bowel movements during catharsis was higher than that of the control group (times/d: 4.3±0.5 vs. 3.1±0.4,P < 0.01). In the observation group, the time reaching atropinization (hours: 66.3±22.8 vs. 84.6±24.2), the total amount of atropine used (mg: 66.3±22.8 vs. 84.6±24.2), and the time of ChE activity returning to its 1/2 normal range (days: 6.1±2.4 vs. 8.3±3.9) were significantly shorter than those in the control group (allP < 0.01). At the end of treatment, the average length of stay in hospital was shorter (days: 11.3±2.8 vs. 13.4±4.2,P < 0.05) and the cure rate was higher [96.8% (30/31) vs. 83.9% (26/31),P < 0.05] in the observation group than those in the control group; in observation group, the hemodynamics and SpO2 before and after acupoint electrical stimulation did not change significantly; in the course of treatment, no adverse reactions occurred.Conclusion The addition of transcutaneous electric stimulation at bilateral Zusanli acupoints in patients with oral organophosphorus pesticide poisoning has following advantages: lowering the incidence of vomiting during catharsis, enhancing the cathartic effect, promoting gastrointestinal poisoning discharge as soon as possible, reducing total atropine used during hospitalization, shortening the time reaching atropinization, shortening the duration of hospitalization, promoting the recovery of cholinesterase activity and elevating clinical therapeutic effects.
