Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and action mechanism of abdominal acupuncture plus plum-blossom needle tapping for primary insomnia.Methods:A total of 66 eligible cases were randomly allocated into an observation group (n=33) and a control group (n=33). Cases in the observation group received abdominal acupuncture plus plum-blossom needle tapping, whereas cases in the control group received abdominal acupuncture alone. After 2, 6 weeks of treatment and 4 weeks after end of treatment, the patients in both groups were evaluated using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and measure your medical outcome profile (MYMOP) based on the patients' self-report. Results:After 2 weeks of treatment, the total effective rate was 90.9% in the observation group, versus 63.6% in the control group, showing a statistical difference (P<0.05). After 6 weeks of treatment, there were no between-group statistical differences in total effective rate (P>0.05). After 6 weeks, the sleep quality and efficiency scores in the observation group were better than those in the control group. Four weeks after end of treatment, the scores of sleep quality and MYMOP in the observation group were better than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Abdominal acupuncture plus plum-blossom needle tapping can obtain fast, accurate effect for primary insomnia and improve patients' sleep quality and efficiency.

Objective To investigate the correlation factors of neonatal lenticulostriate vasculopathy. Method Four hundred and forty-seven newborns from Guangdong Women and Children Hospital were enrolled in this study. Clinical data of the newborns were obtained . Brain ultrasound studies of lenticulostriate artery were performed on the newborns. The logistic regression was performed for screening the correlation factors of neonatal lenticulostriate vasculopathy (P < 0.05). Results Results of the univariate logistic regression reveal the correlation factors tcontributing to LSV include congenital cytomegalovirus infection、neonatal asphyxia、congenital heart disease (CHD),hypertensive disorder in pregnancy (P < 0.05, respectively). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed on these factors. The congenital cytomegalovirus infection, neonatal asphyxia, CHD,hypertensive disorder in pregnancy were significantly associated with LSV (P < 0.05). Conclusion The congenital cytomegalovirus infection,neonatal asphyxia,CHD,hypertensive disorder in pregnancy are the correlation factors of neonatal lenticulostriate vasculopathy. LSV could be a predictive marker for the future development of neuropsychiatric disorders. The brain ultrasound studies of lenticulostriate artery is suggested to be performed on all infants with the correlation factors.

Abstract
Enhancing the health literacy of the entire population is a prerequisite for improving the health of the entire population, and since the health attitudes and behaviors formed during childhood and adolescence have a profound impact on the health patterns of adulthood, the enhancement of health literacy of children and adolescents is of particular importance. As the main place for children and adolescents to receive education, schools should better fulfil the function of education and promotion of health literacy. China has been carrying out the pilot and promotion of health promoting schools (HPS) since 1995, and is currently in the stage of comprehensive improvement of HPS construction. This paper introduces the background and characteristics of Health-Literate Schools (HeLit-Schools) in foreign countries and compares them with HPS in China, drawing on the advantages of HeLit-Schools to provide a new idea and a new way of thinking for the construction of HPS in China and for the practice of the "Healthy China Initiative".

Objective To investigate the ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) expression in perihematomal tissue of mouse cerebral hemorrhage model induced by collagenase. Methods Stereotactic injection of type Ⅳ collagenase was used to induce a model of caudate putamen intracerebral hemorrhage in mice. The behavioral scores were use to assess neurological deficits at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after model making. Neisserian staining was used to detect the morphology of neurons around hematomas.Immunohistochemical staining and Western blot analysis were used to detect the expression of ABCA1 around hematomas. Results Nissl bodies reduction, atrophy, necrosis of perihematomal neurons were observed and aggravated over time. Immunohistochemical staining and Western blot analysis showed that the expression level of ABCA1 in the perihematomal tissue was significantly higher than that in the sham operation group (all P < 0. 05), and the expression level increased significantly with time (all P < 0. 05 ).Conclusion ABCA1 was up-regulated after cerebral hemorrhage, suggesting that it might be involved in the pathological process of cerebral hemorrhage.

Objective To investigate the effect of different treatment regimens guided by magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) mismatch on the outcomes of patients with mild ischemic stroke caused by acute middle cerebral artery (MCA) M1 segment occlusion. Methods From January 2013 to February 2018, the clinical data of patients with mild ischemic stroke caused by acute MCA M1 segment occlusion and admitted to the Department of Neurology, the Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University were analyzed retrospectively. Mild stroke was defined as the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≤5, and the MRA-DWI mismatch was defined as MCA M1 segment occlusion confirmed by MRA and the DWI-Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score ≥6. According to the clinical decision, they were divided into endovascular treatment group and intravenous thrombolytic therapy group. The primary outcome measure was the modified Rankin Scale score at 90 days after onset, ≤2 was defined as good outcome. The secondary outcome measure was the incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) within 7 days after treatment and the mortality rate at 90 d. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent effects of different treatment regimens on outcomes. Results A total of 38 patients were enrolled, 19 (50. 00%) in the intravenous thrombolytic therapy group, and 19 in the endovascular treatment group (50. 00%, including 5 patients with intratracheal thrombectomy after intravenous thrombolysis); 27 patients had good outcomes (71. 05%) and 11 had poor outcomes (28. 95%). Except for total cholesterol level, there were no significant differences in demography, vascular risk factors, and all baseline clinical data between the endovascular treatment group and the intravenous thrombolytic therapy group. The rate of good outcome in the endovascular treatment group was significantly higher than that in the intravenous thrombolytic therapy group (89. 47% vs. 2. 63%; P = 0. 029), and there was no significant difference between the incidence of sICH within 7 days (15. 79% vs. 5. 26%; P = 0. 604) and 90-day mortality (0% vs. 10. 53%; P = 0. 486). The proportion of patients who underwent endovascular treatment in the good outcome group was significantly higher than that in the poor outcome group (62. 96% vs. 18. 18%; P = 0. 029). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that endovascular treatment was an independent predictor of good outcome (odds ratio 0. 103, 95% confidence interval 0. 015-0. 714; P = 0. 021). Conclusion Endovascular treatment is an independent predictor of good outcome in patients with mild ischemic stroke caused by acute MCA M1 segment occlusion.
