Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of acupoint application combined with Daqinglong Decoction (DD) for children asthma with the syndrome of exterior cold and interior heat. Methods One hundred and five children with mild and moderate persistent asthma were evenly randomized into combination group, DD group and Montelukast group. The three groups were separately given acupoint application combined with oral use of DD, oral use of DD, oral use of Montelukast, respectively. The treatment for the three groups lasted for 12 weeks. The scores of traditional Chinese medical syndromes in the three groups were recorded before and after treatment. The control of asthmatic symptoms, acute asthmatic attack frequency, and the course of disease were evaluated at the end of follow-up week 12. Results (1) At the end of treatment week 4 and 16, the syndrome scores were obviously decreased in the three groups (P<0.05 compared with those before treatment). At the end of treatment week 4, the decrease of syndrome scores in the combination group was superior to that in DD group (P<0.05), but did not differ from that in Montelukast group (P>0.05) . At the end of follow-up week 12, the decrease of syndrome scores in the combination group was superior to that in DD group and Montelukast group (P<0.05). (2) The effect of the combination group on controlling the asthmatic symptoms was superior to that of the other two groups ( P<0.01). ( 3) The combination group had lower acute asthmatic attack frequency and shorter disease course than DD group and Montelukast group ( P<0.01). Conclusion Acupoint application combined with oral use of Daqinglong Decoction is effective for children asthma with the syndrome of exterior cold and interior heat by relieving symptoms, enhancing the control of asthma, reducing acute asthmatic attack frequency and shortening disease course.

Objective:To study the clinical application of jejunal feeding tube (J-tube) for early enteral nutrition after surgical treatment of upper digestive tract malformation in newborns.Methods:From January 2019 to December 2021, newborns with upper digestive tract malformation received stage Ⅰ small bowel resection and anastomosis in our hospital were enrolled in this prospective randomized controlled study. According to different types of postoperative nutritional support, these patients were randomly assigned into J-tube group and control group using block randomization method. The J-tube group were given enteral nutrition vis J-tube within 48-72 h after surgery and the control group were given oral feeding after the recovery of gastrointestinal function. Calories and proteins intake, growth indicators, duration of hospital stay and parenteral nutrition, time needed for full oral feeding and complications were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 24 patients were in J-tube group and 28 in controlled group. No significant differences existed on the general status between the two groups ( P>0.05). The average daily intake of calories and proteins in j-tube group in the first week after surgery were significantly higher than control group [(108.7±8.3) kcal/(kg·d) vs. (97.9±7.0) kcal/(kg·d), (3.4±0.3) g/(kg·d) vs. (3.1±0.2) g/(kg·d)] ( P<0.05). No significant differences existed in the average daily intake of calories and proteins during the second postoperative week between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with control group,J-tube group showed increased growth velocity in head circumference and weight over time ( P<0.05), while the trend over time in length growth was not significant ( P>0.05). No significant differences existed in the duration of hospital stay and parenteral nutrition, time needed for full oral feeding and complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Enteral nutrition via J-tube 48-72 h after surgery is safe and feasible in the postoperative nutritional management of newborns with upper digestive tract malformation. This strategy may promote physical growth after surgery without increasing the incidences of complications.

Objective To evaluate transperineal sonography for lower urinary tract symptoms after pelvic floor reconstruction. Methods Eighty-three patients with severe pelvic organ prolapse received surgeries in Fuzhou General Hospital from September 2014 to September 2015, dividing into two groups:27 patients were selected to receive transvaginal mesh (TVM) pelvic floor reconstruction surgery with tension-free vaginal tape-Abbrevo (TVT-Abbrevo) incontinence surgery, named TVM+TVT-Abbrevo group;56 patients were selected to receive TVM pelvic floor reconstruction surgery only, named TVM group. The ultrasonic parameters at rest, on contraction and Valsalva condition respectively were observed and measured, including the bladder neck descent (BND), urethral rotation angle, retrovesical angle, levator urethra gap (LUG), the existence of bladder neck funneling, position of the tape, by using 2D and 3D transperineal ultrasound. Results The two groups were compared with the ultrasonic parameters before and after operation: two groups of patients with postoperative BND [(2.3 ± 0.5) versus (3.1 ± 0.7) cm, (1.6 ± 0.4) versus (3.6±0.4) cm] were significantly reduced, the difference was statistically significant (P=0.02, P<0.01). The two groups of LUG before and after operation [(3.62 ± 0.45) versus (3.26 ± 0.92) cm, (2.96 ± 0.47) versus (2.72 ± 0.38) cm] both had significant difference by maximum Valsalva (P<0.01, P=0.04). There was statistical significance difference of urethral rotation angle in TVM+TVT-Abbrevo group by maximum Valsalva (P=0.01). Observation of morphology:(1) 2 patients with difficulty in urination in TVM+TVT-Abbrevo group, ultrasound showed when the position of the bladder down the urethra discount;4 patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), ultrasound showed slings off or release. (2) One patient with difficulty in urination in TVM group, but ultrasound showed lower urinary tract anatomy were normal; 5 patients with SUI, ultrasound showed the position of the bladder neck were significantly lower in 3 patients, showing high mobility, and the other 2 patients had a larger urethral diameter, showing a tendency of natural deletion. Conclusions Anatomy of lower urinary tract could be clearly showed by transperineal sonography. This could provide imaging support for the diagnosis of lower urinary tract symptoms after pelvic floor reconstruction.

Objective To study the dosimetry distribution of 125Ⅰ seed chains with different radians in different curvatures of bile ducts. Methods The outlines were drawn on the papers, which are the seed chain models with different radians. Radians formula (radian length=2πr × angle/360) was used to calculate the corresponding 0°, 30°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 150° and 180° models with a radian length at 45 mm, for the total length of seed chain model was 45 mm, and the seeds, had no interval or linear arrangements. The image was transmitted to the Brachytherapy planning system for seeds implantation( TPS) to simulate the seed chains with different radians. Using TPS to delineate the tumor target area, of which the activity was set as 1. 85 × 107 Bq, and the prescription dose was 60 Gy. It was prescribed to simulate the bile duct ( diameter at 8 mm) . TPS were used to calculate the D90 and V100 of the simulated bile duct with the diameter at 8 mm, and explore dosimetry of the points at the centripetal and centrifugal sides with 5 mm vertical distance which from two endpoints and center of seed chains with different radians. Results When the radian of seed chain was 30°, the D90and the V100 were the highest (the D90 was 132 Gy; the V100 was 100%). While the radian was 60°, the D90 and the V100 were the lowest (the D90 was 45 Gy, the V100 was 68%). As the radian was 30°, the highest dose was in the center ( dose in the centripetal side was 165 Gy, and centrifugal side dose was 142 Gy) . The center has the lowest dose as the radian up to 180°(dose in the centripetal side was 90 Gy, and centrifugal side dose was 50 Gy) . Among all radians, dose in the centripetal side was always higher than centrifugal side in the center. Between two endpoints, dose in the centrifugal side was higher than centripetal. Conclusions Distribution of seed chain dosage also changed along with the change of radian. When the radian of seed chain was 30°, the D90 and the V100 were the highest. The centripetal dose was higher than that of the centrifugal side.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of different types of microplate and loading volumes on the detection results of multi-function microplate reader, and to optimize the analysis method. METHODS: A multi-function microplate reader was used to perform spectrum scanning on each of 5 detection holes of common and ultraviolet(UV) microplates, and the applicable detection wavelength range was those with light transmittance greater than 80.00%. The optical density measurement was carried out on each 12 detection holes of common and UV microplates at different wavelengths, then the matching of the detection holes was compared. Potassium permanganate was quantitatively analyzed by common microplate and UV microplate, while acetone was analyzed by UV microplate, and then detection limit, lower limit of quantitation(LLQ), accuracy and precision at different loading volumes and concentrations were calculated and compared. RESULTS: The shortest applicable analyzing wavelengths for common and UV microplates were(362±2) and(230±3) nm respectively, while the longest applicable analyzing wavelengths were both 1 000 nm. The light transmittance of UV microplate was higher than that of common microplate when the analyzing wavelengths were lower than 400 nm(P<0.01). The deviation and range of light transmittance of detection holes analyzed by UV microplates were smaller than that of common microplates when the analyzing wavelengths were 350-1 000 nm(P<0.05). The detection limit and LLQ of potassium permanganate by multi-function microplate reader was not associated with the types of microplate. The adding standard recoveries of potassium permanganate by UV microplate was higher than that by common microplate(P<0.05). The adding standard recoveries of potassium permanganate by loading volumes of 200 and 250 μL was lower than that by loading volumes of 150 μL(P<0.01), while adding standard recovery of acetone by loading volumes of 200 μL was lower than that by loading volumes of 150 μL(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: When using a multi-function microplate reader to detect chemicals, it is recommended to use UV microplate with wavelengths at the range of 230-1 000 nm, and loading volumes of 200-250 μL.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of different anesthetics and blood sampling methods on blood routine test results in experimental animals. METHODS: A total of 42 specific pathogen free( SPF) male Sprague Dawley( SD) rats and 59 SPF male Kunming( KM) mice were randomly divided into 4 groups( control group,ether group,chloral hydrate group and pentobarbital sodium group). Ether group animals were treated with ether inhalation anesthesia; animals in chloral hydrate group and pentobarbital sodium group were injected intraperitoneally with chloral hydrate or pentobarbital sodium. The control group received no anesthesia treatment. Blood samples were collected by different ways: orbital venous plexus,abdominal aorta or eyeball enucleation. White blood cell( WBC) count,red blood cell( RBC) count,platelet(PLT) count,hemoglobin(Hb) level and hematocrit(HCT) in blood samples were analyzed. RESULTS: The RBC count,Hb level and HCT of SD rats in pentobarbital sodium group were significantly lower than those in control group( P <0. 05). The HCT of SD rats in ether group was lower than that in control group( P < 0. 05). The WBC count of orbital venous plexus of KM mice was lower than that taken by eyeball enucleation in control group( P < 0. 05),but the WBC count of orbital venous plexus was higher than that taken by eyeball enucleation in chloral hydrate group( P < 0. 05). The RBC count,Hb level,HCT of KM mice in pentobarbital sodium group were significantly lower than those in control group(P < 0. 05). CONCLUSION: The anesthetic can affect the blood routine test results of experimental animals. Different blood sampling methods have effects on blood routine test results of KM mice.
