Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of a new-type moxibustion box in treating cervical spondylotic radiculopathy.Methods Sixty patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 30 cases each. The treatment group received nape-eight-needle acupuncture plus new-type moxibustion box therapy and the control group, nape-eight-needle acupuncture plus conventional moxibustion box therapy. After 10 treatments, the NPQ score, the symptom and sign score and the VAS score were recorded in the two groups and the clinical therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate was 100.0% in the treatment group versus 83.3% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in the NPQ score, the symptom and sign score and the VAS score in the two groups (P<0.01,P<0.05). There were statistically significant post-treatment differences in the NPQ score, the symptom and sign score and the VAS score between the treatment and control groups (P<0.05).ConclusionNape-eight-needle acupuncture plus a new-type moxibustion box is an effective way to treat cervical spondylotic radiculopathy.

Objective To explore the value of dexamethasone(DEX) for neuronal cell injury and death by observing the effect of DEX on excitatory amino acid(EAA) and monoamine neurotransmitter in cerebral tissue of neonatal rat with hypoxia-ischemia.Methods Hypoxic-ischemic neonatal rat models were established,the levels of EAA and monoamine neurotransmitter in cerebral tissue were analyzed by using capillary electrophoresis and fluorospectrophotometry method.The rats were divided into 4 groups: small dose DEX group pre-treated with DEX(0.5 mg/kg) prior to hypoxia-ischemia,large dose DEX group pre-treated with DEX(10 mg/kg) prior to hypoxia-ischemia,HIE group and shamful operation group.Results The levels of EAA and monoamine neurotransmitter contents in HIE group were significantly higher than those in shamful operation group(P0.05).EAA contents of large dose DEX group greatly decreased compared with HIE group (P

Objective To explore the value of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and creatine phosphokinase-isoenzyme-MB (CK-MB) on early diagnosis of heart damage in asphyxia neonate.Methods A total of 47 cases of asphyxia neonates were divided into mild-asphyxia group( n=29 ) and severe-asphyxia group(n=18),and the levels of cTnI and CK-MB were quantitatively determinated by ELISA and enzyme kinetics, respectively.Results After birth for the first day, the serum levels of cTnI and enzymatic activities of CK-MB were all significantly higher in mild-asphyxia group[(2.25?0.54)?g/L,(223.4?23.5)U/L]and severe-asphyxia group[(4.25?0.83)?g/L,(256.3?21.8) U/L)]than those in control group(P_a0.05), however the results in severe-asphyxia group[(1.54?0.72)?g/L,(188.9?21.5)U/L]were significantly higher than those in control group (P_a
