The modern statistical and data mining technology is used to analyze the law of the acupoint selection in the treatment of insomnia with acupuncture and moxibustion. The clinical literature on the treatment of insomnia with acupuncture and moxibustion in recent 10 years is collected from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). Excel software is applied to establish the database of acupuncture prescriptions for insomnia so as to conduct the descriptive analysis, association rule analysis and clustering analysis on the data. In the treatment of insomnia with acupuncture and moxibustion, Shenmen (HT 7) is of the highest frequency and most acupoints were selected from the Governor Vessel. The commonly used acupoints are located on the head, face, neck and nape region. The combination of the local acupoints with the distal ones is predominated. The crossing points among the specific points present the advantage in the treatment. The association: rule analysis indicates the highest, correlation among Taixi (KI 3), Sishencong (EX-HN 1) and Shenmen (HT 7). The clustering analysis results in 6 effective clusters and 10 pairs of key points and summarizes the common law of the acupoint combination for insomnia. All of these provide the reference to the treatment of insomnia with acupuncture and moxibustion.

This study was aimed to analyze acupoint selection principle for acute gouty arthritis treatment. Literatures on acupuncture treatment of acute gouty arthritis were collected from CNKI in recent 20 years. Excel software was used in the establishment of database on main acupoints for acute gouty arthritis treatment. On Windows 8 platform, SPSS 17.0 and Clementine 12.0 software were used in the descriptive analysis, association rules analysis and cluster analysis. The results showed that the top three acupionts with the highest frequency of application were Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Zusanli (ST 36), and Y inlingquan (SP 9). The meridian used with the highest frequency was the spleen meridian of foot Taiyin. The result of association rules analysis showed that Sanyinjiao (SP 6)-Xuehai (SP 10)-Quchi (LI 11) was the most relational one. The cluster analysis indicated the top four core cluster groups including Xiangu (ST 43)-Neiting (ST 44)-Xingjian (LR 2), Xuehai (SP 10)-Hegu (LI 4)-Quchi (LI 11), Taibai (SP 3)-Y inbai (SP 1)-Dadu (SP 2)-Fenglong (ST 40), and Zhubin (KI 9)-Zhigou (TE 6)-Gongsun (SP 4)-Bafeng (EX-LE 10). It was con-cluded that the clinical acupoint selection and combination principle in acute gouty arthritis treatment were analyzed through large amount of data. It can provide evidences and references for acupuncture clinical practice.

Aim To study the absorption mechanism of apigenin-7-O-glucronide, 3,4-Dihydroxycinnamic acid and chlorogenic acid in Erigeron breviscapus extract ( Ebe) by Caco-2 cell monolayer model. Methods The three active ingredients were quantified by UPLC-MS/MS method, and the effect of Ebe concentrations, conveying times, pH values and P-glycoprotein inhibi-tor on the transport of three active ingredients were also investigated. Results Apigenin-7-O-glucronide and chlorogenic acid in Caco-2 cell monolayer model were time-dependent and concentration-dependent. The 3, 4-Dihydroxycinnamic acid in Caco-2 cell uptake was concentration-saturate and P-glycoprotein inhibitor was involved in the uptake process. Conclusion The mechanism of apigenin-7-O-glucronide and chlorogenic acid absorption in cells is mainly through passive trans-port, and the absorption of 3, 4-Dihydroxycinnamic acid is mainly realized by the carrier transport.

Objective:
To examine the eating behaviors and associated factors among preschool children from multiple child families, so as to provide a basis for promoting healthy eating habits in this population.
Methods:
From April to June 2022, a stratified random cluster sampling method was employed to selected 2 647 guardians of preschool children in 11 kindergartens in Tongling City. Parenting style questionnaire, Identification and Management of Feeding Difficulty Questionnaire (IMFeD), Caregiver s Feeding Style Questionnaire (CFSQ) and a self designed questionnaire were administered. Multiple linear regression was performed to analyze the factors influencing eating behaviors among preschool children.
Results:
In the study, the detection of eating behavior problems among preschool children was 71.4%, and the detection of reduced appetite was the highest (55.6%). The detection rates of anorexia, picky eating, poor eating and improper eating behavior in only child families were higher (60.6%, 41.0%, 32.0%, 19.5%), compared with those in multiple child families (51.7%, 36.4%, 27.2%, 16.6%) ( χ 2=20.05, 5.95, 7.16, 3.92, P < 0.05 ). Among multiple child families, the detection rates of fear of eating and underlying disease were the lowest in 5-<10-year-old group (2.3%, 0.6%) ( χ 2=11.54, 8.51, P <0.05). In multiple child families, the detection rates of picky eating and poor eating habits for the first-born child were higher (42.0%, 32.5%), compared with second born and third born child (34.6%, 25.6%)( χ 2= 6.15, 6.38, P <0.05). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that multiplechild families ( β =-1.40), democratic parenting style ( β =-0.07), higher feeding response scores ( β =-0.33) were negatively associated with eating behavior problems among preschool children ( P <0.05). Eating behavior problems among preschool children were positively correlated with less educated mothers [high and junior high school education ( β =0.87), primary school education and below ( β =3.69)], longer average daily screen time ( β =0.10), higher feeding requirements scores ( β =0.64), doting parenting styles ( β =0.21), permissive parenting styles ( β =0.27) and inconsistent parenting styles ( β =0.14)( P <0.05).
Conclusion
The detection rate of the eating behaviors problems among preschool children is high in schools. Greater attention should be paid to only child and first born child of multiple child families, and appropriate feeding and parenting styles, so as to promote healthy eating habits among this population.

Objective:
To explore the immune tolerance induction (ITI) in a case of severe hemophilia B patient with inhibitor.
Methods:
The F Ⅸ∶C was detected using a one-stage method and FIX inhibitor was assayed using Bethesda method. ITI was performed with prothrombin complex concentrates (PCC) in combination with rituximab.
Results:
His past exposure days (ED) with PCC were 20 ED and his peak FⅨ inhibitor titer was 56 BU/ml. When his FIX inhibitor titer decreased to 10.4 BU/ml in Nov. 2015 and after receiving the informed consent from his parents, ITI was started. PCC with low dose rituximab successfully eradicated the high titer inhibitor within 17 months. There was no anaphylaxis, thrombotic event and infection.
Conclusion
This is the first case report for successful immune tolerance induction therapy in Chinese hemophilia B patient. ITI using PCC combined with rituximab is an effective choice to induce immune tolerance of hemophilia B with inhibitor.
