OBJECTIVETo compare the difference in the efficacy on cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR) between acupuncture at the acupoints on the axillary nerve distribution and the regular selection of acupoints. Methods Eighty patients of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 40 ca.ses in each one. In the observation group, Jianjing (GB 21), Jianzhen (SI 9), Jianliao (TE 14) , Jianyu (LI 15) , Quyuan (SI 13), Tianzong (SI 11) and the trigger points in the scalpular region were selected along the axillary nerve distribution. The Hegu needling was adopted at the trigger points and stimulated with electric apparatus, continuous wave, 1Hz. In the control group, Dazhui (GV 14), Tianzhu (BL 10), Houxi (SI 3), cervical Jiaji (EX-B 2) were selected and stimulated with the regular acupuncture. Electric stimulation was added at cervical Jiaii (EX-B 2), with continuous wave, 1Hz. The needles were retained for 30 min in the two groups, once every two days and 10 treatments made one session. The efficacy was assessed in one session of treatment. The 20-point scale of CSR developed by Japanese scholar, Tanaka Yasuhisa, and the visual analogue scale (VAS) were adopted to score the clinical symptoms and pain degree before and after treatment in the patients and assess the efficacy of the two groups.

RESULTSThe symptom scores and VAS scores after treatment were improved apparently as compared with those before treatment in the two groups (P<0. 05, P<0. 01), and the results in the observation group were better than those in the control group (both P<0. 05). The total effective rate in the observation group was 85. 0% (34/40), better than 71. 8% (28/39) in the control group (P<0. 05).

CONCLUSIONThe acupuncture at the acupoints on the axillary nerve distribution achieves the definite efficacy on CSR, better I than the regular acupuncture at cervical Jiaji (EX-B 2).

Objective To investigate the clinical features and treatment ofBrucellosis disease in children in recent years.Methods The clinical data of 24 children withBrucellosis disease admitted during January 2011 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.Results In 24 children, 18 was male and 6 was female and average age was 9.8±3.13 years (4-14 years). Twenty-four children were diagnosed withBrucellosis disease by positive tiger red plate agglutination tests and their antibody titer was 1:800-1:100. The children lived mainly in the pastoral areas; four cases (16.67%) had sick family members and cattle and sheep; three cases (12.5%) had histoty of contact only with sick family members; 12 cases (50.00%) had cattle and sheep exposure history; 3 cases (12.5%) had raised cattle or sheep at home in the past 2 years; 2 cases (8.33%) had not have clear transmission route. The onset of the disease occurred year round, with the highest incidence in June and July. The common clinical symptoms were fever, arthralgia, weak, sweat, and anorexia, combined with hepatomegaly and splenomegaly. Patients younger than 8 years old were treated with rifampin and sulfamethoxazole. Patients equal to or older than 8 years old were treated with doxycycline and rifampin. Twenty-three children had been cured after treatment. Only one child stopped taking the drugs 3 weeks after discharge, which resulted in recurrence.Conclusion For children living in pasturing area suffered with unexplained recurrent fever, brucellosis disease should be considered and ruled out.
