OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical efficacy difference in the treatment of neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (NHIE) between the combined therapy of acupuncture land acupoint injection of nerve growth fac-tor (NGF) and the combined therapy of the intravenous drop of citicoline sodium and intramuscular injection of NGF.

METHODSSixty-one cases of NHIE were randomized into an observation group (32 cases) and a control group (29 cases). In the observation group, acupuncture combined with acupint injection of NGF was adopted. The acupoints were Baihui (GV 20), Dazhui (GV 14) and Fengfu (GV 16), 0. 5 mL each acupoint, once a day. In the control group, the intravenous drop of citicoline sodium and intramuscular injection of NGF were used. The, treatment of 7 days made one session and 3 sessions were required. Separately, in 7, 14 and 21 days of treatment, the clinical efficacy, behavior nerve determination score and adverse reaction were observed in the two groups.

RESULTSIn 7, 14 and 21 days of treatment, the total effective rates were 50. 0% (16/32), 68. 8% (22/32) and 78. 1% (25/32) in the observation group and were 69. 0% (20/29), 72. 4% (21/29) and 82. 8% (24/29) in the control group. The result in the control group was better than that in the observation group in the 7 days (P< 0. 05). The behavior determination scores in 7, 14 and 21 days were all improved obviously as compared with those before treatment in the two groups (P<0. 05, P<0. 01). The score in the control group was better than that in the, observation group in the 7 days (P<0. 05). The differences were not significant in the scores between the two groups in 14 and 21 days (both P>0. 05). The incidence of adverse reaction in the observation group was lower than that in, the control group [14. 3% (5/35) vs 31. 4% (11/35), P<0. 05] and the severity was mild.

CONCLUSIONIn the treatment of NHIE with the combined therapy of acupuncture and acupint injection, the overall efficacy in 1 week; is inferior to that of the combined therapy of the intravenous drop of citicoline sodium and intramuscular injection of NGF. But the efficacy is improved gradually along with the treatment progression and the adverse reaction is less.

Objective To investigate the effects of hypertonic saline/hetastarch solution (HHS) on stress hormones and glucose metabolism in hemorrhagic shock rabbit.Methods Fourteen rabbits of both sexes weighing 2.2-2.6 kg were randomly divided into 2 groups : HHS group ( n = 7) and lactated Ringer's solution (LRS) group ( n = 7). The animals were anesthetized with intravenous 20% urethane 5 ml? kg-1 . Femoral artery was cannulated for BP monitoring and femoral vein was cannulated for removal of blood and fluid infusion. Hemorrhagic shock was induced according to Wiggers. MAP was maintained at 45 mm Hg for 45 min. Then the animals in HHS group received HHS 6 ml? kg-1 and those in LRS group LRS 6 ml? kg-1 . Venous blood samples were taken before shock (baseline), during shock before resuscitation, and 30, 60, 120 min after fluid resuscitation for determination of plasma epinephrine, glucagon, insulin and blood glucose concentration. The insulin sensitivity index (ISI) was calculated.Results After resuscitation MAP returned to baseline level in HHS group while in LRS group MAP was still lower than the baseline. The plasma epinephrine, glucagon and blood glucose concentration increased significantly while plasma insulin concentration decreased significantly during shock before fluid resuscitation compared to the baseline in both groups. After fluid resuscitation plasma epinephrine and glucagon concentration decreased significantly and plasma insulin concentration increased significantly in HHS group whereas in LRS group plasma epinephrine, glucagon and insulin concentration kept increasing. The blood glucose level was significantly lower at 60 and 120 min after resuscitation in HHS group than in LRS group. ISI was decreased after resuscitation in both groups but was significantly lower at 60 and 120 min after resuscitation in LRS group than in HHS group.Conclusion Resuscitation with HHS can reduce the stress response and ameliorate the decrease in insulin sensitivity during hemorrhagic shock.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical efficacy difference on vegetative state in children between acupoint injection combined with plum-blossom needle and western medication based on basic treatment.

METHODSForty-eight children of vegetative state were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 24 cases in each one. On the basis of the treatment of transcranial magnetic stimulation apparatus, balancing treatment apparatus and massage, the acupoint injection and tapping method with plum-blossom needle were adopted in the observation group, in which Xingnaojing injection, mouse nerve growth factor (mNGF) injection, monosialotetrahexosylganglioside sodium injection (MSI), compound Danshen injection were divided in 6 pairs and were injected respectively in Baihui (GV 20), Yongquan (KI 1), Fengfu (GV 16), Yamen (GV 15) and the others, 0.5 mL in each acupoint, once a day for continuous 10 days. Additionally, the tapping method with plum-blossom needle was used on the Governor Vessel and Jiaji (EX-B 2) on the back. In the control group, the intravenous infusion was adopted with citicoline sodium injection, mannitol injection and dexamethasone injection. The treatment was given once a day, 20 days of treatment made one session and totally 3 sessions were required in the two groups. The clinical efficacy, the vegetative state score and the mean curing time were observed after 20 days, 40 days and 60 days of treatment between the two groups.

RESULTSThe effective rates were 58.3% (14/24), 70.8% (17/24) and 79.2% (19/24) in 20 days, 40 days and 60 days of treatment in the observation group and 20.8% (5/24), 45.8% (11/24) and 58.3% (14/24) in the control group respectively. The efficacy in the observation group was superior to those in the control group (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). The vegetative state score was improved apparently after 20 days, 40 days and 60 days of treatment as compared with those before treatment separately (all P < 0.05). It was improved obviously at the each time point after treatment in the observation group as compared with that in the control group (3.34 +/- 2.41 vs 2.64 +/- 11.56, 6.20 +/- 1.46 vs 4.34 +/- 1.64, 11.26 +/- 2.63 vs 8.75 +/- 2.18, all P < 0.05). The mean curing time was (45.67 +/- 16.24) days in the observation group, which was shorter apparently than that of (55.34 +/- 4.57) days in the control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONBased on basic treatment acupoint injection combined with tapping method of plum-blossom needle achieve the reliable efficacy on vegetative state in children.
