Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of triple needling at myofascial trigger points plus warm needling in treating periarthritis of shoulder. Method Eighty patients with periarthritis of shoulder were randomized into a treatment group of 44 cases and a control group of 40 cases. The treatment group was intervened by triple needling at myofascial trigger points plus warm needling, while the control group was by warm needling alone. The two groups were treated once a day, 10 times as a treatment course. The Pain Rating Index (PRI), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Present Pain Intensity (PPI), and motion of shoulder joint were observed before the treatment and after 2 treatment courses, and the clinical efficacies were compared between the two groups.Result In the treatment group, the PRI, VAS, and PPI scores respectively after 1 and 2 treatment courses were significantly different from those before the treatment (P<0.05,P<0.01). In the control group, the scores after 2 treatment courses were significantly different from those before the treatment (P<0.05). After 2 treatment courses, the scores in the treatment group were significantly different from those in the control group (P<0.01). In both groups, the motions of shoulder joint respectively after 1 and 2 treatment courses were significantly changed compared with those before the treatment (P<0.01). The motions of shoulder joint in the treatment group were significantly different from those in the control group respectively after 1 and 2 treatment courses (P<0.05,P<0.01). The recovery plus markedly-effective rate and total effective rate were respectively 70.5% and 95.5% in the treatment group, versus 52.5% and 90.0% in the control group, and the between-group differences were statistically significant (P<0.01,P<0.05).Conclusion Triple needling at myofascial trigger points plus warm needling is an effective approach in treating periarthritis of shoulder.

Objective:To study the clinical efficacy of vitrectomy combined with cataract surgery enin the treatmt of proliferative diabetic retinopathy.Methods:90 patients of proliferative diabetic retinopathy who were treated from January 2013 to June 2016 in our hospital were selected.According to random number table,those patients were divided into the observation group (n=45) and the control group (n=45).The control group was treated with vitrectomy+lentectomy,while the observation group was treated with vitrectomy+ phacoemulsification.Then the best corrected visual acuity,tear interleukin (IL)-2,fluorescein (FL),breakup time of tear film (BUT) and Schirmer test(SIt) and incidence of complications were compared.Results:After operation,the best corrected visual acuity of observation group was better than that of the control group(P＜0.05);the tear IL-2 level in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P＜0.05);the FL in the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group,the BUT and SIt were significantly higher than those of the control group (P ＜ 0.05);the incidence rate of capsular opacity,iris neovascularization,corneal edema,xerophthalmia in the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P ＜0.05).Conclusion:Vitrectomy combined with phacoemulsification was effective for proliferative diabetic retinopathy,which could promote the recovery of visual acuity after surgery,improvement of tear secretio and decrease the complications.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture (EA) plus Tanbo-plucking the trigger points for scapulohumeral periarthritis (SP). Methods:A total of 80 patients with SP were randomized into an observation group and an EA group by the random number table, with 40 cases in each group. The EA group was treated with EA therapy, and the observation group was treated with EA therapy plus Tanbo-plucking the trigger points. After treatment, the visual analog scale (VAS) and Melle scores of the two groups were compared to evaluate the improvement of shoulder pain and functional activity, and meanwhile the clinical efficacy was observed. Results: After treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group was 95.0％ and the cure and markedly effective rate was 72.5％. The total effective rate of the EA group was 87.5％ and the cure and markedly effective rate was 42.5％. There was no significant difference in the total effective rate between the two groups (P>0.05). The cure and markedly effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the EA group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the intra-group differences in VAS and Melle scores of both groups were statistically significant (bothP<0.001). The inter-group differences in the changes of the VAS and Melle scores after treatment were statistically significant (bothP<0.001). Conclusion: EA plus Tanbo-plucking the trigger points has a better curative effect than EA therapy alone in the treatment of SP.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of spin-echo echo-planar imaging(SE-EPI) of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) for the diagnosis of pancreatic mass and to evaluate the difference of stiffness value in different pancreatic mass. Methods In a retrospective study, MRE was performed in 20 healthy volunteer (control group) and 62 patients with surgery-proved pancreatic masses, including pancreatic cystadenoma in 5 cases and solid masses of pancreas in 57 cases (39 with malignant mass and 18 with benign mass) using 3.0 T MRE. The differences of stiffness between two groups were evaluated using non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test. ROC was used to assess the diagnostic ability of elastogram for the detection of pancreatic masses, and to evaluate MRE-determined stiffness for the differentiation of masses from healthy pancreas, and malignancy from benign solid masses. Results The total detection rate of elastogram was 91.9%(57/62),with false positive rate of 5.0%(1/20) and false negative rate of 8.1%(5/62). The median stiffness value in the control group vs patient group were 1.18 kPa (interquantile range:1.15 to 1.30) kPa and 2.43 kPa (interquantile range:1.94 to 3.64 kPa) respectively, with statistically significant differences (Z=-5.967,P<0.01). The sensitivity and specificity of stiffness (≥1.36 kPa) to differentiate pancreatic mass from healthy pancreas was 93.6%and 100.0%, respectively, and to differentiate benign and malignant solid masses (≥2.17 kPa) was 82.1%and 83.3%, respectively. Conclusion MRE is a promising method in detecting and distinguishing different pancreatic masses.

Objective To explore the relationship between free fatty acid(FFA)composition and other glucose and lipid metabolic parameters in patients with metabolic syndrome(MS)in community. Methods Serum FFA profile was measured with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry in 158 patients with varied metabolic syndrome components(MSC),including 61 with MS and 97 at high-risk for MS,and 43 control subjects,with diagnostic criteria by the International Diabetes Federation(IDF).Results Patients with MS had higher parameters of polyunsaturated fatty acid(PUFA)and n6PUFA,as compared to the patients at high risk and normal subjects(P0.05). Among the high-risk group,those with diabetes had increased linoleic acid,n6PUFA and total fatty acid (TFA),and decreased saturated fatty acid(SFA)/TFA,as compared to those without diabetes(P

OBJECTIVETo explore the role of neuregulin (neural regulation of protein, NRG) in the process of mouse spermatogonia proliferation.

METHODSMouse testis fragments were cultured in the medium DMEM containing purified NRG1beta or NRG3 at the concentration of 50, 100 and 200 ng/ml, respectively, followed by BrdU immunohistochemical staining and determination of the proliferation rate of spermatogonia.

RESULTSCompared with the control group, neuregulin significantly promoted the proliferation of spermatogonia (P < 0.05). The proliferation rates of spermatogonia cultured in the medium with 50, 100 and 200 ng/ml of NRG13 were 1.69, 1.55 and 1.86 times, and those with 50, 100 and 200 ng/ml of NRG3 were 1.35, 1.54 and 2.11 times that of the control.

CONCLUSIONNRG1beta and NRG3 can promote the proliferation of mouse spermatogonia, and NRG is expected to be applied in the treatment of male infertility.
