International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2016;37(17):2401-2402,2405
Objective To investigate the relationship between zinc and Fe microelements with the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection and to find a clinical and practical treatment and prevention method for RSV caused pneumonia .Methods Sixty children patients with RSV pneumonia were enrolled in the observation group ,and contemporaneous sixty healthy children served as the control group .Then the concentrations of whole blood zinc and Fe microelements were detected by using atomic absorption spectroscopy .Results Compared with the healthy control group ,the levels of whole blood zinc and Fe microelements in different age periods of RSV pneumonia group were significantly decreased with statistical difference(P<0 .05) .Conclusion The decrease of whole blood zinc and Fe microelements levels in children may be associated with RSV caused pneumonia .

Objective: To compare the curative efficacy and safety of electro-acupuncture on Jianyu (LI 15) with oral administration of Diclofenac Sodium Sustained-release Capsules in treating shoulder periarthritis. Method: Randomized controlled trials (RCT) were adopted in the study. The patients were randomized into two groups, 30 cases in one group.Electroacupuncture was done on Jianyu (LI 15) 20 min every time in the treatment group,while 75 mg Diclofenac Sodium Sustained-release Capsules were orally administered in the control group. For all the patients in two groups, one treatment course contains 7 days. Then the curative efficacy was evaluated by the efficacy evaluation criteria after two consecutive courses. Result: The total effective rate of treatment group and control group were 93.3% and 56.7% respectively. Conclusion: Electroacupuncture on Jianyu (LI 15) is an effective therapy for shoulder periarthritis and has more significant effect than oral Diclofenac Sodium Sustained-release Capsules.
