Objective To investigate the relationship between serum cystain C,urinary neutrophil gelatinase?associated lipocalin(NGAL),uri?nary kidney injury molecule?1(KIM?1)and preeclampsia,and explore the value in predicting preeclampsia and early kidney damage. Methods A total of 30 cases of pregnant women with severe preeclampsia,30 cases of mild preeclampsia and 60 cases of healthy pregnant women admitted in the Second Hospital of Jilin University from October 2014 to July 2015 were enrolled for the study. ELISA was performed to check urinary KIM?1 and urinary NGAL,and the serum cystatin C was detected by immune turbidity method. Results KIM?1,NGAL,serum cystatin C in the preeclampsia were significantly higher than the normal control group(P<0.05). In addition,with the development of their concentrations,the progression of pre?eclampsia gradually rise;BMI,e?GFR,urine protein/creatinine ratio,KIM?1,serum scystatin C and NGAL are the risk factors for preeclampsia;uKIM?1,serum scystatin C and NGAL and combined predictors of preeclampsia are taken as the early indicators of renal injury,which sensitivity are separately 83.3%,75%,88.9%,96.8%;specificity are respectively 72.7%,70%,75.6%,86.4%. Conclusion KIM?1,serum scystatin C and NGAL may reflect the progression of renal injury in preeclampsia .Combined predictors have a higher predictive value in the early renal injury of the preeclampsia.

Objective To analyze recent 30 years’ regularities in point selection for acupuncture treatment of Parkinson disease and provide reference for its treatment. Methods Parkinson disease, parkinsonism and acupuncture were used as key words. Recent 30 years’ Chinese literature was searched using Wanfang, CNKI, VIP and Chinese biomedical literature database. Selection of main acupoints and scalp acupuncture points, syndrome differentiation-based point selection and meridian tropism of main acupoints were metrologically studied. Results The Du meridian, the large intestine meridian and the gallbladder meridian were mainly selected for acupuncture treatment of Parkinson disease. Taichong(LR3), Baihui(GV20), Hegu(LI4) and Fengchi(GB20) were used as main points. Chorea-tremor control area, motor area and parietotemporal anterior oblique line were often selected as main scalp acupuncture points. Fenglong (ST40), Qihai(CV6), Sanyinjiao(SP6), Yinlingquan(SP9) and Zusanli(ST36) were often used according to syndrome differentiation-based point selection. Conclusion Modern acupuncture doctors select Taichong(LR3), Baihui(GV20), Hegu(LI4) and Fengchi(GB20) as main points, often use scalp acupuncture points and combine points mainly from the Du meridian according to syndrome differentiation in the treatment of Parkinson disease.
