Objective To observe the clinical effect of point-to-point acupuncture with electric stimulation of direct current induction for facial nerve paralysis. Methods A total of 65 patients with facial nerve paralysis were randomly divided into the observation group (n=33) and the control group (n=32). The control group received routine treatment, and observation group was received Dicang (ST4)-to-Jiache (ST6) and Yangbai (GB14)-to-Taiyang (EX-HN5) by acupuncture with electric stimulation of direct current induction combined with conventional western medicine. The treatment of both groups last 3 weeks. The House-Brackmann Scale and the BR indexe at baseline and after 3 weeks treatment were observed. Results After treatment, The clinical effect of observation group was 66.7%, which was significantly higher than control group 43.8% (U=2.175, P=0.013). After treatment, House-Brackmann facial nerve scale (Ⅰ level=15 cases, Ⅱ level=4 cases, Ⅲ level=3 cases) in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group (Ⅰ level=5 cases, Ⅱ level=7 cases, Ⅲ level=2 cases; U=2.069, P=0.018). After treatment, R1 latency (12.28 ± 2.55 ms vs. 13.84 ± 3.07 ms, t=2.227) and R2 latency (32.28 ± 7.08 ms vs. 35.95 ± 5.11 ms, t=2.396) in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (P=0.030, P=0.020). Conclusions The point-to-point acupuncture with electric stimulation of direct current induction could reduce latency of R1 and R2 for facial nerve paralysis, and improve the clinical effect.

Objective To observe the effectiveness of early enteral nutrition (EEN) in managing ICU mechanically ventilated patients.Methods Totally 47 patients who had been ventilated for more than one week were randomly divided into EEN group and control group.The EEN group was supplied with enteral nutrition (EN) 12-24 hours after ICU admission,whereas the control group received EN 72 hours-5 days later.The function of intestinal mucosal barrier was evaluated by the reabsorb concentration of disaccharides lactulose/mannitol (L/M).In addition,the body mass index (BMI),body temperature,urine L/M ratio,serum albumin,pre-albumin,and ventilation days were recorded or calculated.Results On the seventh day,the L/M ratio was (0.036 ±0.004) in the EEN group,which was significantly lower than that (0.108 ±0.020) in the control group (t =2.746,P ＜0.01) ; the average body temperature was significantly lower in the EEN group than in the control group [(38.25 ± 1.20) ℃ vs (38.92 ± 1.40) ℃ ; t =2.683,P ＜ 0.05)] ; the incidences of adverse reactions such as constipation and diarrhea were significantly lower in the EEN group [16.7％ (4/23) vs 27.3％ (6/22),P＜0.05].The weaning rate within 2 weeks also favoured the EEN group [90％ (18/20) vs 80％ (16/20),P ＜ 0.05].Compared with the control group,the nutritional status of serum albumin and pre-albumin also showed a favourbale trends in the EEN group.Conclusions EEN can improve intestinal mucosal barrier and increase the weaning possibility in patients with mechanical ventilation.

Objective To observe the effects of thin recipe ofBuyang Huanwu Decoction on expressions of glutathione (GSH) antioxidant system including GSH, GSH-Px andγ-GCS in the brain of focal cerebral ischemia rats;To study its mechanism of antioxidant effect.Methods Totally 120 SD rats were randomly divided into four groups according to random number table method:sham-operation group, model group,Buyang Huanwu Decoction group and thin recipe ofBuyang Huanwu Decoction group. Except for the sham-operation group, the rest groups established focal cerebral ischemia rat model by middle cerebral arterial occlusion. The treatment groups were given corresponding medicine by gavage, while the sham-operation group and model group were given the same amount of normal saline 2 h after modeling. Each group was detected after cerebral ischemia for 1 day, 3 days, and 7 days respectively. The content of GSH and the activity of GSH-Px were detected. At the same time,γ-GCS mRNA and protein levels were determined by using real time-PCR and Western blot.Results The content of GSH and the activity of GSH-Px at each time point decreased in the model group (P<0.05), compared with the corresponding sham-operation group. But the expression ofγ-GCS mRNA and protein increased, with statistical significance on day 1 (P<0.05). Compared with model group, content of GSH and GSH-Px activity levels increased differently in each treatment group, whileγ-GCS mRNA and protein expression raised, with statistical significance on day 3 (P<0.05).Conclusion The thin recipe ofBuyang Huanwu Decoction plays antioxidant effect by regulating the expression of glutathione antioxidant system GSH, GSH-Px andγ-GCS after cerebral ischemia, which may be one of its therapeutic mechanisms for cerebral ischemia.

Objective To study the risk factors for the reflux of enteral nutrition in the mechanical ventilated ( MV) patients. Methods The data of reflux in 79 MV patients fed by enteral nutrition were collected. These patients were consecutively admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of the Navy General Hospital from Jan. 2009 to Dec. 2010. Patients' performance conditions,patients' body position,location of feeding tube, way of feeding,tracheotomy,drug intervention were recorded. Simple logistic regression was used to analyze all the risk factors, and statistically significant variables were selected and adopted in multivariate and unconditioned Logistic regression analysis. Results The subjects averagely aged (58.6 ± 15. 3)years old,including 44 males and 35 females;with an APACHE Ⅱ score of 18. 1 ±4.0. Univariate analysis showed that age,position,location of feeding tube,way of feeding, tracheotomy et al were all assoctied with reflux. Advanced age( >60 y) ( OR = 4.577,95% CI 1. 459 - 14. 363, P =0. 009) was an independent risk factor for reflux; semisupination at 30° (OR =0.201,95%CI 0.057 -0.708,P = 0.013),nasalenteral tube (OR =0.267,95% CI0.072 -0.993,P = 0.049) ,and tracheotomy (OR = 0.232,95%CI0.070 -0.763,P =0.016) were independent protecting factors for the reflux. Conclusion Advanced age ( > 60 y) is a high risk factor for the MV patients with enteral nutrition;, semisupination at 30° .nasalenteral feeding,tracheotomy are low risk factors for the MV patients with enteral nutrition.
