In recent years, w ith the w idespread use of advanced neuroimaging techniques and the aging of the population, more and more asymptomatic smal unruptured intracranial aneurysms (sUIAs) are incidentaly detected in clinical practice. Studies have show n that the prevalence of unruptured intracranial aneurysm (UIA) is 2%-3% in adults, and more than 2/3 of them are smal aneurysms of < 7 mm in diameter. Usualy these sUIAs do not have any symptoms and the risk of rupture is low er. They are also know n as incidental or asymptomatic aneurysms, but they are not w ithout the risk of rupture. At present, there is no unified opinion about w hether to conduct conservative treatment or surgical clipping or endovascular interventional therapy. This article review s the latest research progress of sUIAs ( < 7 mm in diameter), hoping to provide more evidence for clinical assessment, decision -making, and individual treatment of this kind of aneurysms.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy and the relevant effect factors of acupuncture for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in females.

METHODSOf 83 female patients of T2DM, 49 cases were deficiency of kidney yin syndrome and 34 cases were yin and yang deficiency syndrome. Acupuncture was adopted and the acupoints were selected according to the syndrome differentiation. In kidney yin deficiency syndrome, Taixi (KI 3), Shenmen (HT 7), Taichong (LR 3) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6), etc. were selected. In yin and yang deficiency syndrome, Shenshu (BL 23), Pishu (BL 20), Yishu (Extra) and Jingmen (GB 25), etc. were selected. In 3 courses of treatment, the changes in fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FINS), insulin sensitivity index (ISI), insulin resistace index (Homa-IR), index of islet beta-cell function (Homa-beta), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were compared before and after treatment between the two groups. The relationship of the efficacy was analyzed in terms of the syndrome differentiation, age, duration of sickness, obesity and hereditary factors.

RESULTSAfter the treatment, the levels of FPG, FINS, Homa-IR, TC, TG and LDL-C were reduced obviously (all P < 0.01) and the levels of ISI, Homa-beta and HDL-C were increased apparently (all P < 0.01). The total clinical effective rate was 80.7% (67/83), in which, that of kidney yin deficiency syndrome was 83.7% (41/49) and that of yin and yang deficiency syndrome was 76.5% (26/34). The efficacy was not different significantly between the two syndromes. But, the younger the age was, the better the efficacy was.

CONCLUSIONAcupuncture positively regulates the glucose and lipid metabolism in the patients of T2DM. This therapy improves insulin resistance, enhances the body sensitivity to insulin and improves insulin beta-cell function. The efficacy is related to the patient's age.

Pressure ulcer is a kind of cutaneous and subcutaneous exelcosis and necrosis as suffered long-term pressure. Pressure ulcer mainly related with age, long-term in bed, chronic diseases, lower resistibility, vasculitis and less activities, as well as long-term pressing, poor blood circulation and untidy body environment. Pressure ulcer can be classified into 4 stages with severity. The risk to pressure ulcer should be evaluated, mainly with Braden score. Prevention of pressure ulcer included keeping clean, avoiding long-term pressure and find-ing potential pressure ulcer as soon as possible, based on improving the system situation and dealing with original diseases. For the patients suffered from pressure ulcer, it was important to decompress, debride the wound, keep humidity, and apply some new dressing with external drugs and vacuum sealing draining (VSD) and good psychological nurse and communication.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths, with high morbidity and mortality, as well as poor prognosis in China and worldwide. Despite the recent advances in surgery, irradiation, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy, the curative effect of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in advanced cancer patients is unsatisfactory, and the five-year survival rate of patients remains low. Immunotherapeutic approaches, such as checkpoint inhibitors, active vaccination, and adoptive vaccination, have been given in-creasing attention for the treatment of patients with NSCLC. Results of phase I clinical trials show a higher remission rate, and the out-comes of phases II and III clinical trials are under exploration. This review provides an overview of the latest advances and challenges in immunotherapy for NSCLC.
