Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture at Jiaji (EX-B 2) in treating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Methods Sixty IBS patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 in each group. The treatment group was intervened by electroacupuncture at Jiaji (EX-B 2), while the control group was by oral administration of Pinaverium Bromide tablets. The Bowel Symptom Scale (BSS) was adopted for observation before and after intervention, and the clinical efficacies were also compared. Results After intervention, the BSS scores were significantly changed in both groups (P<0.01). There was a significant difference in comparing BSS score between the two groups after intervention (P<0.01). The excellent rate was 86.7%in the treatment group versus 50.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions Acupuncture at Jiaji (EX-B 2) is an effective approach in treating IBS.

Forty-three patients with comminuted Craig type Ⅱand Ⅴ distal clavicle fractures were treated with clavicular hook locking plate and Kirschner wire from July 2013 to January 2015 in Tengzhou Central People's Hospital.Patients were followed up for 12-20 months with an average of 18 months.All fractures were clinically healed .In the 3 and 6 months after the operation, the Constant-Murley function score and the visual analogue score ( VAS) of the quality of life satisfaction were improved compared with those before operation (75.1 ±1.4 and 85.6 ±1.3 vs.44.3 ±1.8; 7.02 ±0.67 and 8.16 ±0.57 vs. 2.54 ±0.67, all P ＜0.05).There were no fracture delayed healing, nonunion, plate fracture and clavicular re-fracture among all patients .It is suggested that the curative effect of the clavicular hook locking plate combined with Kirschner wire is satisfactory and the bone healing rate is high for comminuted Craig type Ⅱ and Ⅴ type distal clavicle fractures.

Organophosphate ester (OPEs) has been widely used as a substitute of brominated biphenyl ethers and other brominated flame retardant (BFRs), and their health effects and environmental impacts are widely concerned. This article systematically reviews the common types, metabolites, environmental occurrences, exposure pathways, levels, toxic effects and biomarkers of OPEs, in order to explore the relationships between OPEs exposures and biomarkers, to reveal the potential mechanisms of health effects, and to provide references and scientific basis for the health effects of OPEs exposure in China.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of preoperative 3D-CTA in assisting the preparation of free thinned anterolateral thigh lobulated perforator flap with nerve in repairing soft tissue defect of limb. Methods: Between February, 2010 and May, 2018, free super-thin anterolateral thigh lobulated perforator flap with nerve was transferred to repair soft tissue defect of limbs in 11 cases. There were 8 males and 3 females with an average age of 35 (range, 22-56) years. The defect area was 8.0 cm×11.0 cm-9.0 cm×23.0 cm. Preoperation CT scan of the free flap donor site was performed to obtain 3D images of the region with arterial blood supply by digital 3D reconstruction CT, and to determine the origin, direction, classification, length, diameter and the position of pedicle perforator. Postoperative regular followed-up was carried according to the Upper Limb Function Evaluation Trial Standards of Chinese Medical Association of Hand Surgery and Enneking Evaluation System. Results: All 11 flaps survived. No vascular crisis happened. All 11 cases were followed-up for 3 to 12 (average, 5) months. The flaps were supple and elastic with near normal color. There was no bulkiness. Sensory function was recovered well and two point discrimination was 3.0-6.0 mm. According to the Upper Limb Function Evaluation of Upper Limb of Chinese Medical Association of Hand Surgery, the results were excellent in 1 case, good in 3 cases and fair in 1 case. The Enneking system was used to assesse the lower limbs recovery. The average score was 21, an average of 70% of limb function restored. Conclusion The free super-thin anterolateral thigh lobulated perforator flap with nerve offers advantages to the traditional anterolateral thigh flap. The survived flaps are ideal in terms of covering limb defects and restoring functions. Preoperative 3D-CTA in the anterolateral thigh perforator flap transplantation is an accurate and useful method. It helps a safer and successful operation with optimal outcome.
