Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupoint application based on the formula ofBu Yang Huan Wu decoction in treating stroke due to qi deficiency and blood stagnation.Method Totally 109 patients with stroke due to qi deficiency and blood stagnation were randomized into a treatment group of 55 cases and a control group of 54 cases. In addition to the basic treatment, the treatment group was intervened by acupoint application based on formula ofBu Yang Huan Wu decoction at Dazhui (GV 14), Zusanli (ST 36), and Xuanzhong (GB ), while the control group received relevant health education. The symptom and syndrome score of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), and Barthel Index (BI) were observed before and after treatment, and the clinical efficacies and relapse rates were compared.Result The symptom and syndrome score of TCM, NIHSS score, and BI score were significantly different from that before treatment in both groups (P<0.01). The changes of the TCM symptom and syndrome score, NIHSS score, and BI score in the treatment group were significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 88.2% in the treatment group versus 69.2% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Four cases in the treatment group got relapsed, accounting for 7.8%; 7 cases got relapsed in the control group, accounting for 13.5%. There was no significant difference in comparing the relapse rate between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion Acupoint application is an effective method in treating stroke due to qi deficiency and blood stagnation.

Objective To investigate the clinical application value of point-of-care combined detection of cTnI,MYO and CK-MB in the patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods 74 cases of coronary syndrome were collected as the patients group,including 36 cases of AMI and 38 cases of unstable angina pectoris(UAP),and 40 individuals with healthy physical examina-tion were selected as the control group.The concentrations of cardiac marker cTnI,MYO and CK-MB in blood at different times were detected by using the point-of-care rapid immune quantitative method.Then the sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing AMI were compared for determining the best time of single detection and combined detection.Results The positive rates of cTnI,MYO and CK-MB within onset 2-12 h with the symptoms in the AMI group were higher than those in the control group and the UAP group,the difference had statistical significance (P <0.01).The combined detection of cTnI,MYO and CK-MB within onset 6-12 h with symptoms had the higher sensitivity and higher specificity for diagnosing AMI.The combined detection of cTnI and CK-MB within onset 12-24 h with symptoms could reach the optimal sensitivity and optimal specificity for the diagnosis.The sensitivity and specificity of cTnI within onset 24-72 h with symptoms for diagnosing AMI were 100.0% and 100.0% respectively.Conclu-sion The point-of-care combined detection of cTnI,MYO and CK-MB can conveniently and rapidly diagnose AMI.The sensitivty and specificity of various indexes in different time periods are different.Their combined detection can increase the diagnostic rate for AMI.

BACKGROUNDTo explore the clinical significance of detection of T helper cell (Th1 and Th2) in patients with lung cancer and to provide a foundation for immunological treatment.
METHODSRIA and ELISA were used to detect the level of serum IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-a in 86 patients with lung cancer, 59 patients with benign pulmonary diseases and 45 healthy people. IL-2 and TNF-a were used to represent cytokines of Th1 type, and IL-4, IL-6 and IL-8 to represent cytokines of Th2 type.
RESULTSThe level of IL-2 [(24.6±12.0) μg/L]in cancer group was significantly lower than that in benign group [(71.1±25.4) μg/L] ( t =3.82, P < 0.01) and normal group [(69.3±19.5) μg/L]( t=2.76, P < 0.01), the level of IL-6 in cancer group [(0.13±0.04) μg/L] was significantly lower than that in normal group [(0.23±0.05) μg/L]( t= 3.39 , P < 0.01), but the levels of IL-4 [(254.2±78.0) μg/L], IL-8 [(0.49±0.16) μg/L], and TNF-a [( 2.76 ±1.12) μg/L] in cancer group were significantly higher than those in benign group [(63.6±18.6) μg/L, ( 0.36 ±0.18) μg/L, (0.96±0.20) μg/L respectively] and those in normal group [(60.9±19.6) μg/L, ( 0.35 ±0.07) μg/L, (0.93±0.19) μg/L respectively] ( t =4.10, 4.89, 3.76 respectively, all P < 0.01). No significant difference of IL-2, IL-4, IL-8 and TNF-a level was observed between benign group and normal group (all P > 0.05). The level of IL-6 in cancer group was similar to that in benign group [(0.15±0.04) μg/L] ( P > 0.05 ). The level of IL-6 in benign group was significantly lower than that in normal group [(0.23±0.05) μg/L] ( P > 0.05 ). There was no significant difference in these cytokines among lung cancer patients with different histological types and in different TNM stages.
CONCLUSIONST helper cell cytokines are out of balance in patients with lung cancer, and this may play a certain role in the pathogenesis of lung cancer. Correcting this immune malfunction may become an important method in lung cancer therapy.
