This paper reviews and analyzes 50 articles concerning the treatment of climacteric syndrome by acupuncture and moxibustion therapries. The therapies were single acupuncture, acupuncture combining other methods, auricular-plaster therapy, and some other therapies. Clear diagnostic criteria were found in 39 articles, and the most common-used criteria were Combination of TCMand Western Medicine Diagnostics and Therapeutics, Kupperman Index Scoring and Criterion of Diagnosis and Treatment Effect of TCM Diseases and Syndrome. All together 2946 cases were treated, and the therapeutic effect rates ranged from 58.1% to 100%. There were control group in 16 articles. The syndromes have been classified as 27 types in 15 articles, including type of yin-deficiency of the liver and the kidney, yang-deficiency of the spleen and the kidney, yang-deficiency of the kidney, yindeficiency of the kidney, disharmony between the heart and the kidney, and the liver stagnation, etc.Some effects have been got in treating female climacteric syndrome with acupuncture and moxibustion therapy, however, there were fewer strict randomized controlled trials (RCT).

Objective To detect the situation of metallo-beta-lactamase(MBL) producing of strains resistant to imipenem in pseudomonas aeruginosa(PA) isolated from hospital patients from April to July in 2005.Methods PA strains were isolated and antimicrobial resistances were done by the VITEK auto-microbic system.MBL producing strains were detected by Kirby-bauer method.Results 103 strains of PA were isolated. There were 47 strains resistant to imipenem and 16 strains resistant to ceftazidime. 8 strains were found MBL producing. Accounted for 17.0% of resistance strains to imipenem. One of 8 strains was sensitive to levofloxacin,others were resistant to such antibiotics as carbenicillin, amikacin, ticarcillin/clavulanic acid, cefoperazone, ceftazidime, cefepime, netilmicin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, piperacillin/tazobactam, ciprofloxacin. Non-MBL producing strains were found resistant to almost all antibiotics, except that 2 strains were sensitive to carbenicillin and one was sensitive to amikacin.Conclusion Among the PA strains isolated from clinic, both MBL producing strains and non-MBL ones were multiple antimicrobial resistance.It was one of the antimicrobial merchanisms that MBL producing led to PA resistant to cephalosporins and carbapenems. Antimicrobial agents should be chosen reasonably under the help of laboratory detecting this type correctly so as to reduce the antimicrobial resistance.

Purpose To observe the clinical efficacy of extraordinary vessels needling in treating vascular dementia. Method 39 cases vascular dementia were treated by acupoints selected from the eight extraordinary meridians and the time needling techniques such as eight methods of spiritual turtle, in accordance with time period and pattern identifition. Results 2 cases were cured, 30 cases improved and 7 cases failed; the total effective rate was 82.1%. Conclusion Extraordinary vessels needling has positive effects in treating vascular dementia.

This paper analyzes and discusses the research advances of acupuncture in the treatment of childhood cerebral palsy from the perspectives of clinical treatment and its mechanism. Acupuncture has great advantages in the treatment of childhood cerebral palsy,however, there are methodological problems in current researches, clinical researches in particular. High-quality clinical researches should be conducted to improve clinical efficacy fully.

Conclusion: Tuina in combination with herbal and magnetic application has good effects on various pattern of cervical spondylopathy.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of combined bedside detection of aminoterminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in the diagnosis of cardiac dyspnea. Methods A total of 120 patients with dyspnea admitted in our department from June 2014 to February 2016 were included in this study. At the time of admission, NT-proBNP and cTnI levels were measured by bedside test. Values of NT-proBNP>300 ng/L or cTnI>0.16 mg/L were defined as positive for cardiac dyspnea. According to the final diagnosis, patients were divided into two groups:cardiac dyspnea group (n=68) and pulmonary dyspnea group (n=52). At the same time, 30 healthy people were selected as control group. Values of NT-proBNP and cTnI were used for statistical analysis between the three groups. The sensitivity and specificity of NT-proBNP, cTnI and cTnI+NT-proBNP were compared between three groups. Results The levels of NT-proBNP and cTnI were significantly higher in pulmonary dyspnea group and cardiac dyspnea group than those in the control group, and the levels were significantly higher in cardiac dyspnea group than those of pulmonary dyspnea group (P<0.01). The detection sensitivity of NT-proBNP and cTnI alone was 67.65% and 52.94%, combined detection of both was up to 94.12%. The specificity of NT-proBNP and cTnI detection alone was 70.00% and 53.33%, respectively, and combined detection of both was up to 86.67%. The sensitivity of NT-proBNP+cTnI was significantly higher than that of NT-proBNP and cTnI alone (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the specificity between combined detection andindividual detection of NT-proBNP. The positive predictive value of the combined detection in the diagnosis of cardiac dyspnea was 94.12%(64/68), and the negative predictive value was 86.67%(26/30). Conclusion Bedside detection with combination of cTnI and NT-proBNP has important clinical application value in the rapid diagnosis of cardiac dyspnea, which is a rapid clinical testing method.
