OBJECTIVETo determine the recognition of healthy medical students on deqi after acupuncture, reveal the qualitative and quantitative rules of deqi and understand whether these rules are the factors of the clinical application of acupuncture therapy.

METHODSThe class questionnaires were used for the investigation study on the understanding of deqi after acupuncture at Hegu (LI 4) or Zusanli (ST 36) in 86 healthy students in the clinical medicine class.

RESULTS(1) Deqi was a kind of complicated compound feelings, with many sensation qualities such as distending pain, distension and pain. (2) Deqi was a kind of mild and moderate sensations. In 10-score credit sys tem of Massachusetts General Hospital acupuncture sensation scale (MASS), the scores of distending pain (4.69 +/- 2.83), distension (4.39 +/- 2.91) and soreness and distension (3.93 +/- 2.93) were around 5 (moderate degree), the scores of stabbing pain (1.89 +/- 2.02) were around 2 (mild degree). (3) The differences in the quantitative scores were significant for stabbing pain, distending pain, distention, soreness and distention and the others before and after treatment (all P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONDeqi of acupuncture is the mild and moderate complicated sensations manifested as distension, soreness, pain and numbness. As the invasive therapy, the filiform needle puncture will bring a certain psychological impacts on the receptors. The subjective sensation is possibly the factor for the patients' selection of acupuncture treatment.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the placement of a long tube into the small intestine under fluoroscopic guidance and to evaluate its decompression effect on early postoperative small bowel obstruction (EPSBO).

METHODSFifty-four patients with EPSBO requiring decompression between April 2010 and July 2014 were enrolled in the study. Insertion of a long tube was guided by fluoroscopy. We first used the guide wire to pass the pylorus and then used the 10 Fr feeding tube as an exchangeable tube to put the superstiff wire into the duodenum. Finally the long tube could be passed over the guide wire through the pylorus into the intestine. The total procedure time, the radiation exposure time, and the incidence of complications were evaluated.

RESULTSThe long tubes passed into the jejunum on initial insertion for all patients, so the success rate of this technique was 100%. The long tube was inserted into ileum in 18 patients. The mean total procedure time was 34.4 ± 8.6 minutes, and the mean radiation exposure time 18.9 ± 6.8 minutes. A total of 47 patients (87%) experienced full recovery following long-tube decompression and without the need for surgical intervention.

CONCLUSIONSUsing the wire-exchange technique, it is easy to place a long tube into the small bowel under fluoroscopic guidance. This decompression method is safe and effective for management of EPSBO.

Objective To explore the hypertensive vulnerability of residents living in Xuzhou City to provide evidence for effective intervention. Methods Based on multi-stage stratified randomized sampling methed,a total of 4980 residents aged 15 to 69 years from 9 counties of Xuzhou City were selected and completed a standard questionnaire. Hypertensive vulnerability was compared by using Chi-square test. Results The prevalence of hypertension was 13.62% among 15 to 69 years old participants. The residents who had no idea of normal level of blood pressure accounted for 45. 26%. The residents who thought it was unnecessary to measure blood pressure every year since 35 year-old accounted for 29. 68%. Those who did not know individual's salt intake per day accounted for 57. 23%. The participants who had no information on hypertension prevention or control accounted for 21.53% and 12. 05%, respectively. The higher hypertensive vulnerability was associated with lower educational level or monthly income per capita; higher hypertensive vulnerability of patients is less than normal crowed. The rates of current smoking, alcohol consumption,salt over-intake and non-blood pressure measurement were 16. 45%, 11.10% ,30. 00%, and 32. 05% respectively. The higher educational level, higher monthly income per capita or older age crowd ,the lower rate of non-blood pressure measurement, the higher rate of alcohol consumption ; salt over-intake was different in different education levels ( χ2 = 23.37, P＜0. 05 ) ; the older age group were in a higher proportion of current smokers;the behavior vulnerabilities were no difference between the patients and normal crowds. Conclusion Hypertensive vulnerability of residents living in Xuzhou City is high. Hypertension education and healthy living style should be improved to effectively prevent the development of hypertension.

Objective To study risk factors for high-normal blood pressure (HNBP) in residents of urban Xuzhou, Jiangsu province, China. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 17 500 residents in urban area of Xuzhou from June to December 2008 by cluster sampling with self-designed questionnaire to collect their demographic information and measurements of body height, weight and blood pressure. Data were approached to univariate and multivariate non-conditional logistic regression analysis. Results In total, 17 306 residents finished the survey, with an overall response rate of 98.9percent. Results of univariate analysis revealed that 13 variables such as living region, sex, age,occupation, annual average family income, history of dyslipidemia, smoking, alcohol drinking, intake of pork, and vegetables, daily length of sleeping, body mass index (BMI), abdominal obesity, all were related to HNBP ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). Results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that living region, sex,age, annual average family income, alcohol drinking, intake of vegetable, BMI, abdominal obesity all associated with HNBP (P＜0. 05). Conclusions Older age, history of alcohol drinking, increased BMI,abdominal obesity all are risk factors to prompt occurrence of HNBP, and intake of large amount of vegetables is its protective factor.

Objective To investigate the value of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) coupled with minimally invasive ultrasound-guided percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGD) for the treatment of severe acute biliary pancreatitis.Methods Hospitalized patients with severe acute biliary pancreatitis were recruited from the intensive care unit (ICU) of the Mfiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from June 2010 to June 2015,and divided into conventional CRRT alone group (n =30) and CRRT + PTGD group (n =30).Comparisons of postoperatively symptoms (time required for abdominal pain relief,time consumed for,gastrointestinal decompression),laboratory findings (WBC,PLT,PCT,CRP,AMS,TBIL,ALT,ALB,Lac) and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation score (APACHE Ⅱ,Balthazar CT,MODS) were carried out between two groups.The occurrence of complications (ARDS,abdominal infection,bile leakage,abdominal hemorrhage,intestinal injury,catheter translocation,catheter dislocation) was observed.The differences in duration of ventilator support,the length of stay in ICU,and fatality rate were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with the conventional CRRT alone group,the postoperative symptoms were significantly relieved,and time required for abdominal pain relief and time consumed for gastrointestinal decompression were evidently shortened in the CRRT + PTGD group (P ＜ 0.05).There were statistically significant differences in laboratory findings (WBC,PLT,PCT,CRP,AMS,TBIL,ALT) between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).The differences in APACHE Ⅱ,Balthazar CT and MODS score between the two groups also presented statistical significance (P ＜ 0.05).The comparisons of the duration of ventilator support [(6.1 ± 1.3) d vs.(9.5 ± 1.4) d] andthe length of stay [(15.7 ± 1.1) dvs.(21.1 ± 2.5) d] between thetwo groups revealed statistical significance (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions CRRT coupled with PTGD for the treatment of severe acute biliary pancreatitis can effectively eliminate the inflammatory mediators and toxins from patients.On this basis,the coupled therapy with gallbladder puncture and drainage is capable of decompressing the biliary tract,improving liver function,effectively relieving clinical symptoms,minimizing the changes of laboratory findings an,d APACHE Ⅱ score,and thereby optimizing the prognosis of patients.
