According to two kinds of acupoint combination methods for Huahe and Huhe in five-door and ten-change theory proposed by the deceased Taiwanese famous acupuncturist Mr. ZHOU Zuo-yu, the origin of the change theory proposed by the deceased Taiwanese famous acupuncturist Mr. ZHOU Zuo-yu, the origin of the acupoint combination method of five-door and ten-change is introduced. This method combines traditional philosophy of Yi with medicine, which is featured with casual timing, casual pattern, capacity to be combined with TCM syndrome differentiation, specific application scope and pertinence. Some clinical cases are additionally presented to verify this method. Huhe method is mostly used for Bi-syndrome while Huahe method has better effects on internal medicine diseases. They open the new thinking methods for clinical acupoint selection.

Objective To examine the effect of tetraethylammonium (TEA, K~+ channel blocker) on pancreatic ?-cell apoptosis and explore the mechanism. Methods Mouse ? cells (NIT cells) were exposed to streptozotocin(STZ) to induce apoptosis, and TEA of different concentrations were applied along with STZ to prevent efflux of intracellular K~+. Cells were stained with annexin V, PI and rhodamine 123. Flow cytometer (FCM) was used to determine the percent of apoptotic or viable cells and the change of mitochondrial membrane potential. Culture media was collected to quantify the content of NO and ROS produced by NIT-cells. Cells were collected for detecting the activity of super oxide dismutase (SOD) in cells lysates. Results STZ induced apoptosis of NIT cells significantly (P

The present paper proposed a central-driven structure of upper limb rehabilitation robot in order to reduce the volume of the robotic arm in the structure, and also to reduce the influence of motor noise, radiation and other adverse factors on upper limb dysfunction patient. The forward and inverse kinematics equations have been obtained with using the Denavit-Hartenberg (D-H) parameter method. The motion simulation has been done to obtain the angle-time curve of each joint and the position-time curve of handle under setting rehabilitation path by using Solid Works software. Experimental results showed that the rationality with the central-driven structure design had been verified by the fact that the handle could move under setting rehabilitation path. The effectiveness of kinematics equations had been proved, and the error was less than 3° by comparing the angle-time curves obtained from calculation with those from motion simulation.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the therapeutic effect of compound glycyrrhizin combining ursodeoxycholic acid in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B.METHODS:87patients with chronic hepatitis B were enrolled to,on whom,the anti-viral therapy proved to be ineffective and who suffered a long-term abnormal liver functions,of the total,47were randomly as?signed to receive compound glycyrrhizin plus ursodeoxycholic acid(treatment group),and40to receive compound glycyrrhizin plus vitamin C(control group).Course of treatment for both groups was8weeks.RESULTS:As compared with the control group,the liver function and immune function for the treatment group had a better amelioration(P

Aim To observe the effects of borneol on the pharmacokinetics of carbamazepine(CBZ) and 10,11-epoxide carbamazepine(ECBZ) in rabbits.Methods After ig administration of bornol and CBZ,the CBZ and ECBZ were determined with HPLC,then the pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained with 3P87 program on computer.Results In the CBZ-borneol combination group,the pharmacokinetic parameters of CBZ,T_(12(ka)),T_(peak) and AUC were increased,while Ka and CL were decreased.The parameters of ECBZ,T_(12(ke)) and T_(peak) were increased,while Ke was decreased.The ratio of CSF to plasma of ECBZ at the time of 0.5,1,2 hour after ig was increased.Conclusion Borneol significantly improved the bioavailability of CBZ,inhibited the metabolism of CBZ,and enhanced the ECBZ passing through blood brain barrier.

AIM:To investigate the differences among Lenstar 900, A-scan ultrasound and keratometer in measurement of axial length ( AL ) , anterior chamber depth ( ACD ) and corneal curvature ( K1 , K2 , Km ) , and evaluate the consistency of the instruments, with the purpose providing references for the clinical application of Lenstar 900.
METHODS: In this study we picked up 36 patients ( 50 eyes ) underwent cataract surgery, and lens nucleus hardness were under level IV. Before the operation, AL, ACD and K1 , K2 , Km were measured by Lenstar 900, A-scan ultrasound and keratometer respectively. The differences between the results were compared by the paired t-test. The correlation of the results was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis, and the consistency was measured by Bland-Ahamn method.
RESULTS: The mean AL and ACD values measured by Lenstar 900 and A-scan ultrasound had no significantly statistic differences (P>0. 05). The K1, K2, Km measured by Lenstar 900 and keratometer were not significantly statistical different (P>0. 05). The results measured by these three instruments had close linearity correlation ( r>0.9, P<0. 01). The consistency of the results was well in Bland-Ahamn analysis.
CONCLUSION:The preoperatively biometric result of Lenstar 900, A - scan ultrasound and keratometer in patients with cataract are all reliable, and they can be substituted by each other. However, Lenstar 900 can not only measure AL, ACD and corneal curvature at the same time, but also cornal thickness, lens thickness, white to white, pupil size, optical axis eccentricity, retinal thickness and so on. It has a number of advantages such as non-touching, convenient and efficient, and can be recommended to use widely.

Objective To estimate the clinic features of severe multiple trauma with secondary thrombocytosis as a factor influencing the prognosis.Methods A retrospective single-center study was carried out in 680 patients with severe multiple trauma survived longer than 72 hours in Chongqing Emergency Medical Center from March 2010 through March 2013.The variables including age,gender,ISS (injury severity score),APACHE Ⅱ score,splenectomy and the usages of vasopressors,blood products transfusion,hematopoietic medicines and anticoagulant were analyzed.The prognosis indices including total in-hospital mortality after 72 hours,length of hospital stay and morbidity of thrombo-embolism were explored.The clinic characteristics and prognosis of severe multiple trauma with secondary thrombocytosis (platelet count more than 450 × 109 L-1) were evaluated.T test or rank sum test was used for comparison between measurement data and Chi-square test or Fisher' s exact test was used for comparison between enumeration data.Results Thrombocytosis was identified in 99 (14.56％) patients and it occurred one week after injury with median time of 27 days (ranged from 8 days to 304 days),and maintained for (18.62±4.38) d.The median of platelet count was 584 × 109 L-1 (lowest 478 × 109 L-1,highest 1 072 × 109 L-1) in severe multiple trauma patients with thrombocytosis.The proportions of splenectomy,prolonged use of vasopressors and employment of hematopoietic medicines or anticoagulant were significantly higher in patients with thrombocytosis than those in patients without thrombocytosis (14.14％ vs.7.06％,P=0.03;62.63％ vs.39.07％,P＜0.01; 28.28％ vs.6.71％,P＜0.01; 90.91％ vs.19.45％,P＜ 0.01).The highest D-Dimer level presenting in patients with thrombocytosis during the time of platelet increasing was significantly more common than that in patients of non-thrombocytosis group 7 days after trauma [(11.68 ± 11.90) vs.(5.05 ± 5.11),P =0.004].However,the mortality,length of hospital stay and morbidity of thrombo-embolism were not significantly increased in patients with thrombocytosis compared with patients without thrombocytosis [8.08％ vs.8.78％,P=0.82; 34 d (28.5,54.5) d vs.45 d (23,67) d,P =0.41; 10.10％ vs.10.50％,P =0.91].Conclusion There was a higher rate of secondary thrombocytosis in severe multiple trauma patients.The factors such as splenectomy,vasopressors,hematopoietic medicines and so on might induce the reactive thrombocytosis in trauma patients.Thrombocytosis might increase the incidence of thromboembolism in severe multiple trauma patients without appropriate prophylactic anticoagulation.For the sake of prophylaxis,employment of anti-platelet agent might be the appropriately therapeutic strategy for patients suffering from severe multiple trauma with secondary thrombocytosis accompanying risk factors of arterial thrombo-embolism.
