ObjectiveTo observe the effect of acupuncture at the ghost points on anxiety and depression in methamphetamine (MA)-dependent subjects.MethodSixty MA-dependent males were randomized into a control group, acupuncture groupⅠand acupuncture groupⅡ. The control group didn’t receive any intervention; inacupuncture groupⅠ, bilateral Neiguan (PC6), Shenmen (HT7), Sanyinjiao (SP6), and Jiaji points (EX-B2) were selected; Shuigou (GV26), Shangxing (GV23), Chengjiang (CV24), and bilateral Daling (PC7), Jianshi (PC5), Shenmai (BL62), and Quchi (LI11) were selected in acupuncture groupⅡ. For the three groups, treatment was given three times a week, totally for 12 times. The Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) were observed before treatment, and respectively after 1, 2, 3, and 4-week treatment.ResultAfter the first-week treatment, the HAMA and HAMD scores in acupuncture groupⅡwere significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05);afterthe second, third, and fourth week, the HAMA and HAMD scores in acupuncture groupⅠandⅡwere significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05); after the second and third week, the HAMD score in acupuncture groupⅡwas significantly lower thanthat in acupuncture groupⅠ(P<0.05). However, after 4-week treatment, there was no significant difference in comparing the HAMD score between the two acupuncture groups (P>0.05).ConclusionAcupuncture at the ghost points and at the effective points selected according to previous studies both can improve anxiety and depression state in MA-dependent subjects, but acupuncture at the ghost points can possibly produce a more significant effect in improving depression state in MA-dependent subjects in the midway of the treatment.

Objective To explore the effect of 5A intervention method on the success rates for quitting smoking and glucose metabolism level of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods Thirty-two patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus from patients from January to June 2014 were divided into the control group, receiving traditional intervention, including asking, advising, assessing, assisting and arranging. The differences in the success rates for quitting smoking and glucose metabolism level between pre-and post-intervention was compared. Results The success rate for quitting smoking after intervention in the experment group higher than that in the control group. Statistical significance was found in glucose metabolism level before and after the intervention as well (P<0.05). Conclusion 5A intervention method can improve the success rate for quitting smoking and glucose metabolism level in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.

Objective To explore the effect of modified Seldinger technology in PICC intubation for chemotherapy . Methods Forty patients with chemotherapy during January to December 2014 were assigned as the control group, where the traditional PICC intubation was used, and another forty patients during January to December 2014 as the observation group, where modified Seldinger technology was used. The two groups were compared in terms of post-intubation comfort, puncture success rate, bleeding rate and complications. Results The post-intubation comfort degree of the observational group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). The total puncture success rate and one-time success rate were both statistically significantly higher than those of the control group, and the rates of obstruction and infection were significantly lower than those of the control one (P<0.05). Conclusion Modified Seldinger technology used for intubation for chemotherapy can help improve comfort degree and safety and reduce the rate of complications.

OBJECTIVETo compare the differences in clinical efficacy on peripheral facial paralysis at acute stage between the opposing needling technique and routine acupuncture at the affected side so as to provide the evidence on the acupuncture treatment for peripheral facial paralysis at acute stage.

METHODSForty patients were rando- mized into an opposing needling technique group (19 cases) and an affected side needling technique group (21 cases). The basic medication was same in the two groups. The acupoints were Fengchi (GB 20), Yangbai (GB 14) to Yuyao (EX-HN 4) (penetrating needling method), Jingming (BL 1), Chengqi (ST 1), Xiaguan (ST 7), Jiache (ST 6) to Dicang (ST 4), Hegu (LI 4) and Zusanli (ST 36). In supplementation, in the opposing needling technique group, the acupoints were stimulated on the face of healthy side. In the affected side needling technique group, the acupoints were stimulated on the face of the affected side. The treatment was given three times a week, for 4 weeks. House-Brackmann (H-B) facial nerve function assessment was used to evaluate facial nerve function before and after treatment in the patients of the two groups. The efficacy was compared between the two groups.

RESULTSThe facial nerve function was recovered in the two groups and the total effective rate was 100.0% in the two groups (P>0.05). The curative rate was 68.4% (13/19) in the opposing needling technique group and better than 47.6% (10/21) in the affected side needling technique group (P<0.05). On the 7th and 14th day, scores of H-B in the opposing needling technique group were better than those in the affected side needling technique group (both P<0.05). The curative time in the opposing needling technique group was apparently shorter than that in the affected side needling technique group ((23.95 +/- 4.30) days vs. (29.14 +/- 5.43) days, P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONThe opposing needling technique accelerates the recovery of facial nerve function in peripheral facial paralysis at acute stage and apparently shortens the curative time. The efficacy is better than that in acupuncture on the affect- ed side of the face.

OBJECTIVETo explore clinical significance of rotational axis of distal femur on Chinese adults in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

METHODSThere were 86 Chinese adults (106 normal knees) including 47 males (53 knees) and 39 females (53 knees), 54 knees were on left and 52 on right. The CT scan was employed in the distal femur. The scan direction was aligned to be on the plane perpendicular to the mechanical axis of the femoral. The CT images of cross sections across lateral and medial femoral epicondyle were moved to personal computer,lateral angle between anterior posterior line (APL) and surgical transepicondylar axis (STEA) (ATA),lateral angle between posterior condylar line (PCL) and APL (APA), angle between perpendicularity of APL and PCL (A-PA), posterior condylar angle (PCA), condylar twist angle (CTA), angle between clinical transepicondylar axis (CTEA) and STEA (CSA) were measured. These values were divided into different groups according to gender and side, the values of CTA, PCA, A-PA, angle PT (varus of tibia plateau), constant 3, ATA, APA and constant 90° were compared by statistically. A-PA and PCA, and CTA were analysed statistically with the liner regression, the relationship among CTEA, STEA ,PCL, APL and PLP were performed to assess by liner regression.

RESULTSATA was (89.79 ± 1.22)°, APA was (84.84 ± 1.83)°, A-PA was (5.16 ± 1.83)°, PCA was (4.80 ± 1.23)°, CTA was (8.23 ± 1.40), CSA was (3.45 ± 0.68)°. All the parameters had no differences on sex and side,but CSA had difference on male and female. There was no difference among angle PT, PCA, A-PA. There was significant difference in CAT, constant 30 and angle PT, PCA,A-PA. There was no difference between ATA and constant 90°, but there was difference between APA and constant 90°. There was relativity between PCA and CTA, and also PCA and A-PA, CTA and A-PA. There was significant relativity between STEA and CTEA, between STEA and APL, between STEA and PCL, and also between APLP, APL and PCL, but there was no significant relativity between PCL and CTEA.

CONCLUSIONTKA for Chinese, the section of femoral posterior condyle should be external 5° to obtain the optimum rotational orientation. The property is different entirely between STEA and CTEA, the rotational alignment is not performed according to parallel to the CTEA in distal femur. Among STEA, APL, PCL, the STEA is the most reliable mark ofrotational alignment of the distal femur, and the PCL is the less reliable mark.

By searching the registry information of systematic review regarding acupuncture included before March 31, 2014 in PROSPERO systematic review registry platform, information in the project plan such as care gories of diseases, interventions, research team and the completion status was analyzed to make a comprehensive understanding on registry status of acupuncture systematic review in this platform. As a result, a total of 52 project plans was finally included. The health problem concerned was mainly painrelated diseases, and the interventions were mostly simple acupuncture or combination of acupuncture and moxibustion. The registered plan participated with Chinese team appeared comparatively late, which was featured with fewer independent projects and concentrated research organization, so its scientific research advantage in acupuncture did not present. In conclusion, it is believed that the consciousness on systematic review registry in domestic researchers needs to be improved, and researchers might take good advantages of the PROSPERO platform in the future.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3, subunit A (eIF3a) and human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) expression and ovarian cancer. Methods: RT-PCR or immunohistochemistry was used to examine eIF3a and HE4 mRNA or protein expression in ovarian tissues from patients with ovarian cancer (n=181) or benign ovariantumors, or from the healthy women. Results: hTere were signiifcant differences in mRNA and protein expression of eIF3a and HE4 among normal ovarian tissues, benign ovarian tumor tissues, and ovarian cancer tissues (P<0.05). hTere were signiifcant differences in mRNA expression of eIF3a and HE4 between the normal tissues and the ovarian cancer tissues, or between the benign ovarian tumor tissues and the normal tissues (P<0.001). hTe mRNA expression of eIF3a in the normal ovarian tissues was signiifcantly higher than that in the benign ovarian tumor tissues or that in the ovarian cancer tissues. hTe mRNA expression of HE4 was gradually increased from the normal ovarian tissues, the benign ovarian tumor tissues to the ovarian cancer tissues. hTe mRNA expression of HE4 in the ovarian cancer tissues was signiifcantly higher than that in the benign ovarian tumor tissues (P<0.001). Positive expression rates for eIF3a or HE4 protein in normal, benign tumor, and cancer tissues were 0, 66.7%, and 81.0% or 0, 27.8%, and 56.2%, respectively. hTere were signiifcant differences in positive expression rates of eIF3a protein and HE4 protein between the ovarian tumor tissues and benign ovarian tumor tissues, between the ovarian cancer tissues and the normal ovarian tissues, or between the benign ovarian tumor tissues and the normal ovarian tissues (P<0.001). hTe eIF3a protein expression was positively correlated with HE4 protein expression (r=0.575,P<0.05). Conclusion: The expressions of eIF3a and HE4 are associated with ovarian cancer, and extracellular regulated protein kinases may play a role in the interaction between eIF3a and HE4.
