ObjectiveTo observe the effect of acupoints stimulation with silver spike point therapy on insomnia.Methods60 patients with insomnia were randomly divided into the trial group and control group with 30 cases in each group. Patients of the trial group were treated by acupoints stimulation with silver spike point therapy and patients of control group were treated only with Clonopin. All patients of two groups were tested with Self-Rating Scale of Sleep (SRSS) before and after treatment.ResultsThe curative effect rate of the trial group was 86.6%; that of the control group was 60%; the curative effect of the trial group was superior to the control group (P<0.05). SRSS difference of the trial group pre-and post-treatment was 12.79±3.20; that of the control group was 10.1±3.89. There was also a significant difference between two groups (P<0.01).ConclusionThe silver spike point therapy has the better curative effect on insomnia than Clonopin.

Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of the changes of microalbunminuria(MAU) levels in mechanical ventilated patients with severe pneumonia. Methods According to the ratio between the microalbunminuria and the urine creatinine (MAU/CR) (ACR), setting 25mg/mmol as the threshold, 78 mechanical ventilated patients with severe pneumonia were divided into two groups :ACR increasing group and ACR Non-increasing group,then the clinical significance of changes of MAU levels in 72 hours on prognosis of these patients was observed. Results MAU increased in 64 cases(82. 1%) ,of which 46 cases in ACR increasing group and 18 cases in ACR non-increasing group. There showed statistically significant differences on APACHE Ⅱ score, CPIS score,PCT、the success of getting out of mechanical ventilation and the mortality between two groups, (t = 3.50、2. 19 、x~2 = 3. 95、6. 70、5.38 ,P = 0.01,0.03,0.04,0.01,0.02, all P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Changes of MAU levels have the clinical significance on prognosis of the mechanical ventilated patients with severe pneumonia.

Objective To investigate the iron status in the newborns of maternal gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM) women,and explore the mechanism of iron deficiency in these newborns.Methods From June 2008 to October 2011,64 GDM women (GDM group) and 71 healthy pregnant women (control group)who delivered in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical College and their newborns were studied prospectively.Serum ferritin (SF),serum transferrin receptor (sTfR),erythropoietin (Epo),haemoglobin (Hb),serum level of insulin and plasma glucose in cord blood was measured.The neonatal birth weight (BW) and birth weight Z Score(WAZ) was recorded.The concentrations of serum fasting insulin (FINS),fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c)were tested for all the women before delivery.Results In the GDM group,the cord blood sTfR,Epo and serum level of insulin was (42 ± 10)nmol/L,(56 ±41) U/L and(18 ± 5) U/L,respectively.While in the control group,these were(35 ± 8)nmol/L,(41 ± 43) U/L and (10 ± 5) U/L,respectively.The cord blood sTfR,Epo and serum level of insulin in the GDM group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The cord blood SF in the GDM group[(60 ±36) μg/L] was significantly lower than that of the control group[(146 ±38) μg/L,P ＜ 0.01].The neonatal BW and WAZ in the GDM group [(3615 ± 538) g and 0.558] were significantly higher than those in the control group [(3449 ± 423) g and 0.224,P ＜ 0.05].No significant difference was found in the cord blood plasma glucose and Hb between the GDM group[(3.3 ± 1.0) mmol/L and (181 ± 18) g/L] and the control group [(3.0 ± 0.8) mmol/L and (176 ± 16) g/L,P ＞ 0.05].The FINS and HbA1c of the GDM group[(12.5 ±5.0) U/L and (6.5 ±0.7)％] were significantly higher than those in the control group [(10.9 ± 4.3) U/L and (5.3 ± 0.7) ％,P ＜ 0.05].The FPG of the GDM group and the control group were (5.3 ± 1.2) and (5.0 ± 1.0) mmol/L,respectively,with no statistically significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Maternal GDM may related to the iron deficiency of the newborns.

A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the determination of butoconazole in human plasma. Human plasma samples of 0.2 μL were pretreated by a single step protein precipitation procedure and analyzed using a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) electrospray tandem mass spectrometer system. The compounds were eluted isocratically on an Inertsil ODS-SP column (100 mm×2.1 mm, 3 μm), ionized using a positive ion atmospheric pressure electrospray ionization source and analyzed using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The ion transitions monitored were m/z 412.8→165.1 for butoconazole and m/z 453.4→230.3 for the internal standard. The chromatographic run time was 3.5 min per injection, with retention time of 2.47 min and 2.15 min for butoconazole and repaglinide, respectively. The method was validated to be linear over the range of 20 to 8000 pg/mL (r>0.999) by using a weighted (1/x(2)) quadratic regression. The mean recovery rate was more than 86.7%, and the intra- and inter-day precision of the quality control samples (QCs) was less than 8.3% and the accuracy ranged from 96.0% to 110.2%, which indicated that the quantitative method was reliable and accurate. The method is simple, rapid, and has been applied successfully to a pharmacokinetics study of butoconazole nitrate suppositories in healthy Chinese females.

Objective To summarize our experience in hepatic artery reconstruction in adult-to-adult right lobe living donor liver transplantation(LDLT).Methods A retrospective analysis was made for 17 cases undergoing LDLT in our center from May 2007 to Oct 2008.Results All the 17 right lobe graft of the liver was supplied by single right hepatic artery and the mean diameter of right hepatic artery was 3.1 mm.The hepatic artery for segment 4 was mainly originated from left hepatic artery(12/17,70.1%).The recipient right or left hepatic artery was used in 14 cases of reconstruction,proper hepatic artery was used in 2 cases,and gastroduodenal artery was used in one case.Anastomosis was performed with interrupted 8-0 prolene and 12-16 stitches were made on the posterior wall first and then the anterior wall to avoid turning over the vessel.The mean anastomosis time was(51±26) minutes and all hepatic arteries were patent immediately after anastomosis.Hepatic arterial complications including hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT)did not occur after LDLT.Conclusions Detailed evaluation and careful protection of the hepatic artery of segment 4 are the key to successful reconstruction of hepatic artery in LDLT.Anastomosis was performed without flipping the artery wall helped to reduce the difficulty of operation remarkably and with a good result.
