Objective To observe the efficacy of treating allergic rhinitis majorly by needling three nasal acupoints, and to provide a safe convenient and effective method for the treatment of allergic rhinitis.Method Sixty-two patients were randomly divided into an acupuncture group (31 cases) and a Western medication group (31 cases), and the acupuncture group was mainly treated by three nasal acupoints, and the Western medication group was by Clarityne. By comparing the symptoms and signs, the clinical efficacies were evaluated.Result The total effective rate was 87.1% in the acupuncture group, significantly higher than 76.7% in the Western medication group (P<0.01).Conclusion It’s effective to treat allergic rhinitis by adopting acupuncture at the three nasal acupoints as the major method.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of acupuncture plus ice excitation on dysphagia in stroke patients.Methods60 stroke patients with dysphagia were divided randomly into treatment group (n=30) and control group (n=30). The treatment group received acupuncture plus ice excitation, while the control group only received acupuncture. The course was 4 weeks.ResultsThe curative effect showed that the total effective rate was 96.67% in the treatment group with recovery in 23 cases, improvement in 6 cases, and uselessness in 1 case, while the total effective rate was 73.33% in the control group with recovery in 17 cases, improvement in 5 cases, and uselessness in 8 cases (χ2=6.435, P＜0.05).ConclusionAcupuncture plus ice excitation had a good effect on dysphagia in stroke patients.

Objective To explore the immune function injury and its mechanism in drug abuser.Methods The immune function changes in 50 drug abusers were compared with normal healthy populations by detection of the indexes of subgroups of Th cells, transformation rate of lymphocytes,IgA,IgM,IgG,IgE,compliment C3,C4,IL 1, IL 2,IL 6 TNF and NO.Result In peripheral blood the percentage of Th1 cell, transformation rate of lymphocyte, IgA, IgM, IgG, IgE content, compliment C4,C4, IL 1, IL 2,IL 6,and TNF levels were significantly lower than normal(P< 0.01).The value of Th1/Th2 was lower than normal as well(P< 0.05).NO content was significantly higher than normal(P< 0.001).Conclusion The mechanism of immune function injury in drug abuser might be correlative to direct injury of drugs and their inhibition effect on the thymus hypothalamus hypophysis adrenal axis.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of ethanol extract of Hedyotis Diffusae Herba (EEHDH) on chronic ulcerative colitis (UC) and the inhibition on intestinal tissue abnormalities hyperplasia. Methods: The C57 mice were randomly divided into five groups: normal, DSS, low-, mid-, and high-dose (2.5, 10.0, and 20.0 g/kg) EEHDH groups. The DSS-induced UC model was employed. The body weight, hematochezia, and stool property were recorded to evaluate the change of physiology daily. The pathology changes of colonic mucosa tissue of mice were evaluated by HE staining, and the expression changes of inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α in serum and tissues were detected by ELISA and real-time PCR, as well as immunohistochemistry was used to analyze the positive rate of Ki67 of the nuclear antigen in epithelial cells of colonic tissues. Results: Compared to the model group, the treatment with mid- and high-dose EEHDH has a relatively slower weight loss and a faster recovery when the stimulation is gone; Meanwhile the symptoms of diarrhea and hematochezia are significantly improved, the pathological damage and intestinal tissue dysplasia are alleviated; The inflammatory factors IL-6, TNF-α, and the positive rate of Ki67 are significantly decreased. Conclusion: EEHDH could attenuate DSS-induced UC and decrease pathological injury, inflammation invasion, and abnormalities hyperplasia, by inhibiting the expression of inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6 and TNF-α, which indicates that EEHDH is of great value in the treatment of UC and colitis-associated cancer.

This paper introduces the basic concept of man-machine interaction technique and the pathological and physiology basis of its application in guiding equipment. Based on the analysis of demands of blind people, the design for novel intelligent guiding equipment based on man-machine interaction technique was proposed. This method used multiple sense information mainly by infrared technique to detect obstruction and control the advancing direction of whole guiding equipment through the intellectualized judgment and processing by microprocessor to guide the blind. In addition, the principle and process of detecting method, control function, command definition, program design and debugging improvement of the guiding equipment were introduced, and its application and prospect were discussed.

This study introduced the producing theory and producing region of electroencephalogram(EEG)signal as well as containing physiological information and analyzed the purpose,method and procedure of EEG signal pattern recognition,as well as the latest development and related medical theory of EEG signal acquisition.The procedure of EEG signal pattern recognition consisted of information acquisition,preprocessmg,feature extraction and selection,classification estimation and recognition.By studying the association between EEG signal and prosthetic movement,it was concluded that EEG signal controlling prosthesis was feasible.Therefore,a prosthetic controlled system was designed based on EEG signal pattern recognition and acquisition.The system initiated from scalp electrode(or prosthetic electrode),passed through differential amplifier circuit(or prosthetic drive circuit),pre-amplifier circuit,trap circmt,med-amplifier circuit,and filter circuit,and finally reached analog-to-digital converter.It was proven to satisfy various
