Professor FU Zhonghua's unique clinical experience of Fu's subcutaneous needling (FSN) for cervical spondylosis (CS) is discussed in this paper, which is analyzed from the aspects of recognition of CS pathogenesis, treatment mechanism of FSN, advantage indications of FSN for CS and examples of medical cases. Professor FU introduced the theory of myofascial trigger points (MTrP) into the field of the management of CS. The site of neck MTrP should be carefully examined, and FSN needles for single use are used to sweep the affected area or subcutaneous layer of adjacent upper limb. This method can rapidly improve ischemia and hypoxia state of the relevant muscles and prompt the self-recovery of neck muscles. During FSN treatment, reperfusion approach is recommended to adopt to improve the qi and blood circulation and recovery of neck function.

Objective To study the relationship between lung inflammation and lung angiotensin Ⅱ ( ANG Ⅱ) in ventilator-induced lung injury ( VILI) and assessed the efficiency of the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor captopril to attenuate VILI in rats. Methods Totally 21 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned into 3 groups,high-volume,0 positive end-expiratory pressure ( HVZP) group; captopril injection ( 100 mg/kg i. p. ) in 30 min before HVZP ventilation ( HVZP + CAP group) ; no ventilation group ( control) . The blood gas tensions and mean arterial pressure were measured after a polyethylene catheter was placed in one carotid artery and a plastic cannula was inserted into the trachea. The protein contents and contents of macrophage inflammatory protein-2 ( MIP-2) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid ( BALF) and lung ANGⅡ were determined by ELISA. The changes of lung pathology were observed by HE staining. Results Mean arterial pressure was significantly lower in the HVZP + CAP group than in the HVZP group after 2 hour’s ventilation. Total protein levels were significantly higher in BALF recovered from HVZP-ventilated rats than from controls. BALF MIP-2 and lung ANG Ⅱ were significantly higher in the HVZP group than in the control and HVZP + CAP groups. Lung ANG Ⅱ level was correlated positively with BALF contents of total protein and MIP-2. Conclusion Captopril has the efficiency to attenuate VILI by reducing inflammatory cytokines. Our results suggest that VILI is partly mediated by the local angiotensin system.

Mantle cell lymphoma is an incurable subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This review focuses on its treatment progress, including high-dose chemotherapy combining rituximab, radioimmunotberapy, autologous stem cell transplatation, allogenetic stem cell transplatation and targeting therapy. Comparing from the disappointed result of regular chemotherapy, adding rituximab or high-dose regimen could improve the effect. And the radioimmunotherapy has also got some potential results. Autologous stem cell transplantation could increase the survival rate, but non-myeloablative allogenetic stem cell transplantation should be considered on relapsed patients. Till now diverse targeted medicine came into clinical trials and some of them seems competent in mantle cell lymphoma.

Objective To evaluate and analyze the CT imaging of preoperative SOX regimen neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer.Methods A total of 33 patients with advanced gastric cancer treated in our hospital from January 2010 to February 2015 were enrolled for the study and given tegafur gimeracil oteracil potassium capsule plus oxaliplatin for injection as preoperative adjuvant chemotherapy.And all the patients were given surgery after 3 cycles of SOX regimen chemotherapy, and surgical resection of the tumor was taken as the final pathology gold standard.The CT imaging data of the patients before and after the chemotherapy was counted and then analyzed and compared with the pathological data to clarify the value of CT imaging in the evaluation of SOX regimen neoadjuvant chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer.Results The effective rate was 33.33% and the ineffective rate was 66.67% in the preoperative SOX regimen neoadjuvant chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer through clear surgical pathology.The correlation between tumor volume reduction and pathological grading was the strongest(r=0.581, P<0.001).By ROC analysis, the best area value(AUC) of the tumor volume reduction rate was 0.834.When the tumor volume reduction rate with 36.94% was taken as the effective threshold for SOX regimen neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the sensitivity and specificity of the evaluation were the best with 74.62% and 83.01% respectively.Conclusion sCT volume measurement can be used as a reliable clinical data to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative SOX regimen neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer and have certain guiding significance in the late treatment of patients with advanced gastric cancer.
