0.05).CONCLUSION:The critical twinkle visual frequency of red light in normal persons is higher than that in schizophrenia patients and alcoholism patients.And the critical twinkle visual frequency in alcoholism patients is a little lower than that in schizophrenia patients.

Alpha-lipoic acid is a potent antioxidant.Its protective effects on oxidative stress induced by diabetes and othe factors are mainly achieved via its antioxidant property.Such effects have been observed in cardiovascular system,kidney,and liver.This article reviews the recent advances in the anti-oxidation mechanisms and protective effects of alpha-lipoic acid in peripheral organs.

Objective To analyse effect of different dose of sustained-release theophyline on prealbumin, C-reactive protein and white blood cell count in patients with pediatric asthma.Methods 58 children with acute asthma attack in our hospital were collected.All children were randomly divided into high dose group and low dose group,29 cases in each group.On the basis of conventional treatment, high dose group were treated with high dose theophylline sustained release tablets 5 mg/kg, one times per eight hours,orally,and low dose group was treated with low dose theophylline sustained release tablets,2 mg/kg, one times per eight hours,orally.Two groups were treatment for two weeks.After the treatment, the serum levels of pre albumin, C-reactive protein and veinal blood level of white blood cell count were detected in all children.Results Compared with high dose group post-treatment, the serum level PA was higher in low dose group (P<0.05);the serum level of CRP was lower in low dose group (P<0.05);the veinal blood level of WBC, percentage of neutrophils and percentage of eosinophils was lower in low dose group (P<0.05) .Conclusion Compared with high dose of sustained-release theophyline,the low dose of sustained-release theophyline can significantly reduce the serum CRP level and veinal blood level of WBC, percentage of neutrophils and percentage of eosinophils, improve serum PA level in patients with pediatric asthma, reduce inflammation in patients.

Objective To give nutritional evaluation in diabetic patients.Methods The human body measurements,biochemical tests,NSR2002 of 109 patients with diabetes mellitus were used for nutritional assessment and risk screening,and were analyzed for its clinical application.Results Diabetes prevalence rate of malnutrition assessed by NRS2002 was 17.4%.Low birth weight assessed by BMI was 4.6%.BMI of patients with diabetes and normal nutrition was higher than normal value,and there was a significant difference(P

Monascus-fermented rice is a natural food and traditional Chinese medicine. Besides its wellknown effectiveness in lowering blood lipids, Monascus-fermented rice is also beneficial for decreasing blood pressure, preventing osteoporosis, and lowering blood sugar. This article reviews recent advances in its non-anti-hyperlipemic effects and their potential mechanisms.

Objective: To observe the relationship among blood pressure, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and sinus heart rate turbulence (HRT) in patients with essential hypertension (EH) and its clinical significance. Methods: A total of 125 EH patients received 24h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, dynamic electrocardiogram and echocardiography examination in order to measure 24h mean blood pressure, turbulence onset (TO), turbulence slope (TS) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI). According to 24h mean blood pressure, patients were divided into hypertension stage 1 group (n=46), stage 2 group (n=41) and stage 3 group (n=38); according to LVMI, patients were divided into non- LVH group (n=74) and LVH group (n=51). TO and TS were compared among all groups. Results: TO: Compared with hypertension stage 1 and stage 2 group, there was significant increase in TO [(-2.48±1.75) % vs. (-1.86±1.19) % vs. (-0.87±1.14) %] in hypertension stage 3 group, and that of stage 2 group was significantly higher than that of stage 1 group（P<0.05～<0.01）; compared with non- LVH group, there was significant increase in TO [(-0.15±0.45) % vs. (1.08±1.19) %] in LVH group, P<0.01. TS: compared with hypertension stage 1 and stage 2 group, there was significant decrease in TS [(3.76±1.87) ms/RR interval vs. (2.33±1.48) ms/RR interval vs. (1.55±1.06) ms/RR interval] in hypertension stage 3 group, and that of stage 2 group was significantly lower than that of stage 1 group （P<0.05～<0.01）; compared with non- LVH group, there was significant decrease in TS [(4.76±1.75) ms/RR interval vs. (3.02±1.08) ms/RR interval] in LVH group, P<0.01. Conclusion: The higher the blood pressure is, the more abnormality the heart rate turbulence is; the heart rate turbulence abnormality of patients complicated with LVH is more severe than that of non- LVH patients in patients with essential hypertension, so heart rate turbulence is help to judge prognosis and guide treatment.

Recently, cosmetic acupuncture has converged on the acupuncture industry currently, cosmetic acupuncture is in strong demand in clinical scenes every day, and it is a part of classes at training institutions or universities of acupuncture.
Only ten years ago, it was taboo to use acupuncture cosmetically except for special occasions, and acupuncturists and moxa-cauterizers did not have much interest in it. However, against the background of its being required for the "beauty"field, it is seen off and for the wish for youth and beauty of us hoping for a higher quality of life. In June 2010, the 59th annual meeting of Japan Society of Acupuncture and Moxibustion held the International Conference Centre in Osaka Nakanoshima. This acupuncture congress came up with a great topic, and the extension of practical skills for cosmetic acupuncture took place for the first time. We got a high response at the congress. The hall capacity was 350 people and was full. People were even standing in the back because there were no seats left. Therefore, we would like to request you, professors teaching people exhibiting some practical skills at the congress, to write about your thoughts for cosmetic acupuncture and the practice of it, which we hope will be future prospects for cosmetic acupuncture.

We compared the results of heating the joint and of applying the Hot-spike and electric stimulus to the YUSEN and SANINKO points to disperse the fluid at the Knee.
The tests with the points resulted in little change in the fluid level at the Knee.
This time we measured the circumference of the Knee. A therapist established the standard measuring method, and tried to make the error decrease.
While they were observing the circumference of the Knee, they would not allow anyother medical treatments or any movement by the patient.

Objecfive To identify what factors contribute to the occurrence of avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head after pediatric femoral neck fractures. Methods A series of 33 pediatric femoral neck fractures who had been admitted to our institution between June 1994 and April 2006 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 1 case of type Ⅰ,15 type Ⅱ,14 type Ⅲ and 2 type IV according to Delbet classification. The mean age at injury was 10.7(3.7 to 14.1) years, and the mean follow-up was 3.4(1 to 12.2)years. All patients were followed up until union was achieved. AVN occurred in 16 cases, including 8 cases of Ratliff type Ⅰ,3 of Ratliff type Ⅱ,4 of Ratliff type Ⅲ and 1 unclassified. Age at injury, fracture type, degree of displacement, quality of reduction and type of fixation were calculated and analyzed with respect to AVN. Results AVN occurred in 4 cases (36.4%)under 10 years old and in 12 cases (54.5%)10 years old or more. Eight cases (53.3%)of AVN occurred in Delbet type Ⅱ and 6 cases (42.9%) of AVN occurred in type Ⅲ.One case (25.0%)of AVN occurred in non-displaced group and 14 cases(53.8%)in displaced group. Ten cases(50.O%)of AVN occurred in the group whose reduction quality was satisfactory and 6 cases(66.7%)in unsatisfactory reduction group. Thirteen cases (48.1%)of AVN occurred in the unstable fixation group and 2 cases (50.0%)in the stable fixation group. Conclusion Fracture type, degree of displacement, quality of reduction and age at injury can affect the occurrence of AVN of the femoral head after pediatric femoral neck fractures.
