1.Problems in establishing clinical guideline for integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine
Journal of Integrative Medicine 2008;6(1):5-8
A good clinical guideline for integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine (ITCWM) should be established by multi-subject specialists, including clinical expert of ITCWM, traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and medical staff from different levels of health care organization, clinical and preclinical medicine researcher, statistician, clinical epidemiologist and economist, medical decision-maker and administrative expert. Establishment of guideline should be abided by the following scientific procedure: association of ITCWM (AITCWM) or the branch of AITCWM decides the subject of clinical guideline, set up a team of special subject of clinical guideline (or decided by research project), evaluate literature systematically, prepare a draft manuscript, consult and appraise it in the same occupation, announce the content in the academic circle, collect feedback opinions and proposals and then make analysis, modify the clinical guideline, publish the clinical guideline, apply the clinical guideline, collect and appraise feedback opinions and proposals, modify and consummate the clinical guideline. In order to supply and consummate original guideline, scientific and renewed evidence should be emphasized on the basis of evidence-based medicine. The author also suggested insistence on the combination of disease and syndrome, syndrome being governed by disease, standardization of syndrome type, establishment of reasonable amount of syndrome types, standard and method of modifying the treatment. The user of guideline should pay attention to both the principle and flexibility, and the author stressed that guideline was just a diagnosis and treatment reference to clinician, which should be used flexibly and not be imitated mechanically in practical application. The practicability of guideline should be pay attention to so that the clinician can apply and manipulate the guideline easily. Meanwhile, the group of guideline establishment has an obligation to train medical staff and to promote the practice of clinical guideline. Only in this way, the authority, standardization and applicability of clinical guideline on ITCWM can be ensured, and then the expected purpose of clinical guideline establishment can be attained.

Objective To summarize the clinical experience of extrocorporeal membrane oxygena-tion(ECMO) in the treatment of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Methods A retro-spective analysis of children with ARDS who were hospitalized for different causes and received the treatment of ECMO from October 2012 to November 2017 was performed. The clinical conditions and prognostic fac-tors in the course of their disease were compared. Results In 12 cases of ARDS,9 cases (75% ) had severe pneumonia,2 cases (16. 67% ) had lung tumor resection and 1 case ( 8. 33% ) had bronchial foreign body. Seven cases (58. 3% ) chose VA-ECMO,5 (41. 7% ) cases chose VV-ECMO. The average duration of ECMO was (225. 03 ± 214. 75) h. With the positive treatment of ECMO,heart rate,mixed venous oxygen saturation and central venous pressure all improved significantly(P < 0. 05),and there was no obvious abnor-mal changes in MAP and lactic acid(P > 0. 05). Arterial oxygen partial pressure,arterial carbon dioxide par-tial pressure,oxygenation index and P/ F were significantly improved after the ECMO support(P < 0. 05). Ppeak,Paw and PEEP after evacuation of ECMO were significantly lower than those before treatment (P <0. 05). Ten cases (83. 33% ) were successfully removed,8 cases (66. 67% ) were saved, and 4 cases (33. 33% ) died. During the ECMO treatment,9 cases (75% ) had complications,including 8 cases of bleed-ing at the intubation site,3 cases of gastrointestinal hemorrhage,2 cases of hemolysis,1 case of infection,2 cases of acute kidney injury,2 cases of neurological symptoms,1 case of multiple organ dysfunction syn-drome. Conclusion Pediatric ARDS is critical and the mortality rate is high. ECMO should be used as soon as possible when the lung is potentially regained and other treatments are ineffective,so that the lung could be fully rescued to gain time and opportunity for clinical treatment.

Objectives:
To explore the expression regulation of type 1 and type 2 (Th1 and Th2) cytokines from serum of coal miners and the evaluation in surveillance of coal workers' pneumoconiosis, 630 coal miners were studied.
Methods:
A total of 90 male patients diagnosed as coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) in a institute for occupational health and 19 male workers newly diagnosed as CWP patients was chosen as CWP group with simple random sampling method from a coal mine group from January 2013 to December in 2015. 180 male coal miners with abnormal but not diagnosed as CWP were selected as CWP suspected group with simple random sampling methods, meanwhile 180 male coal miners with normal chest X-ray photograph was as dust-exposed group by 1∶1 matched as age. And 161 healthy males accepted pre-employed examination were selected as control group, CWP suspected group, dust-exposed group and control group called as non-CWP group. According to screening test and diagnosis test, the basic information and occupational history of all subjects were collected, and cytokines including IL-1β, IL-8, IFN-γ, IL-6 and IL-10 of serum were detected. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the optimal cutoff value of each cytokine. Area under curve (AUC), the validity and reliability were calculated and judged.
Results:
The average age of control group, dust-exposed group, CWP suspected group and CWP group were (27.4±5.0) , (43.4±10.7) , (48.2±6.2) , (64.7±7.0) years old, respectively. The median level of IL-1β, IL-8, IFN-γ and IL-6 in cases group (1 638.30, 2 099.49, 815.18,140.32 pg/ml) were higher than that of non-cases group (1 445.57, 1 402.26, 736.38, 95.73 pg/ml) (
