Objective To observe the clinical therapeutic effect of acupuncture combined with acupoint injection in the treatment of post -stroke intractable hiccup.Methods 120 patients with post -stroke intractable hiccup were randomly divided into treatment group(60 cases)and control groups(60 cases)according to the digital table.The patients in the control group were treated with baclofen tablets and methloxetamine hydrochloride injection, and the patients in the treatment group were treated with acupuncture combined with acupoint injection therapy.The treating period was 1 week.The scores of hiccup symptoms,the total effective rate and side effect were recorded before and after the treatment in all patients.Results The scores of hiccup symptoms before treatment in the treatment group and the control group were (5.32 ±1.17)points and (5.25 ±0.65)points respectively,there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups(t =1.79,P =0.96).The scores of hiccup symptoms on the 1 day after treatment in the treatment group and the control group were (3.97 ±1.24)points and (3.85 ±1.02 )points respectively,there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups(t =1.93,P =0.48).The scores of hiccup symptoms on the 3 days after treatment in the treatment group and the control group were (2.80 ±0.73)points and (3.75 ±1.11)points respectively,there was significant difference between the two groups(t =2.66,P =0.00), that in the treatment group was lower than the control group.The scores of hiccup symptoms on the 5 days after treatment in the treatment group and the control group were (2.25 ±1.07)points and (3.43 ±0.81)points respec-tively,there was significant difference between the two groups(t =2.85,P =0.00),that in the treatment group was lower than the control group.The scores of hiccup symptoms on the 7 days after treatment in the treatment group and the control group were (1.27 ±0.66)points and (2.02 ±0.98)points respectively,there was significant difference between the two groups(t =1.07,P =0.00),that in the treatment group was lower than the control group.The total effective rates in the treatment group and the control group were 90%(54 /60)and 65%(39 /60)respectively,there was significant difference between the two groups(χ2 =10.75,P =0.00).The incidence rates of side effects in the treatment group and the control group were 1.7%(1 /60)and 6.7%(4 /60)respectively,there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups(χ2 =0.84,P =0.36).Conclusion Acupuncture combined with acu-point injection can significantly reduce the hiccup symptom score of post -stroke intractable hiccup patients on the 3, 5 and 7 days after treatment,and improve the total effective rate.

OBJECTIVE To promote clinical rational use of antibiotic prophylaxis through surveying it in Obstetrics and Gynecology Department (OG) by pharmacists. METHODS Data of 223 cases using of antibiotic prophylaxis in OG were retrospectively analyzed. According to unreasonable use of antibiotic prophylaxis,the clinical pharmacists put out reasonable measures and directed treatment in succedent 206 patients. RESULTS The rate of unreasonable use of antibiotic prophylaxis in 223 cases was 100% and rate of infection after operation was 9.87%. After giving intervention,the rate of unreasonable use of antibiotic prophylaxis and infection were reduced to 3.88% and 1.46%,respectively (P

Objective To evaluate the role of interleukin-4 receptor (IL-4R) in renal fibrosis following renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in mice.Methods Twelve male wild type BALB/C mice and 12 IL-4Rα gene-knockout mice,aged 8-10 weeks,weighing 20-30 g,were used in the study.The mice of either type were divided into 2 groups (n =6 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S) and group I/R.In group I/R,renal I/R was induced by occlusion of the right renal artery for 1 h with atraumatic microclips followed by 2 weeks of reperfusion.The right renal artery was only isolated in group S.At 2 weeks of reperfusion,blood samples were taken from the orbital vein for determination of the concentrations of serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr).The renal tissues were obtained,and the renal fibrosis area was measured by Sirius Red staining.The expression of fibronectin (FN),collagen Ⅰ (COL-Ⅰ) and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in renal tissues was detected by immunofluorescence.The expression of signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) and phospho-STAT6 in renal tissues was determined by Western blot.The ratio of phoshop-STAT6 to STAT6 was calculated to reflect the phosphorylation of STAT6.Results Compared with group S of wild type mice,the serum BUN and Cr concentrations and renal fibrosis area were significantly increased,the expression of FN,COL-Ⅰ and α-SMA in renal tissues was significantly up-regulated,and the phosphorylation of STAT6 in renal tissues was significantly increased in group I/R of wild type and IL-4Rα KO mice (P<0.05).Compared with group I/R of wild type mice,the serum BUN and Cr concentrations and renal fibrosis area were significantly decreased,the expression of FN,COL-Ⅰ and α-SMA in renal tissues was significantly down-regulated,and the phosphorylation of STAT6 in renal tissues was significantly decreased in group I/R of IL-4RαKO mice (P<0.05).Conclusion The mechanism of renal fibrosis following renal I/R injury is partially related to IL-4R,and IL-4R results in renal fibrosis through promoting activation of STAT6 signaling pathway in mice.

Background and purpose:Checkpiont targeted immunotherapy in the field of solid tumor therapy has huge potential, triggering a boom in the study of immune targeted drugs. A study has provided a basis for the follow-up study of ipilimumab combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) patients. This study counted the adverse event statistics that ipilimumab or placebo combined with paclitaxel and carboplatin as first-line therapy for the treatment of stage Ⅳ or recurrent squamous cell carcinoma to evaluate the safety of ipilimumab combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced squamous cell carcinoma.Methods:This study selected 13 patients with ECOG scores≤1 and stage ⅣA or ⅣB squamous cell carcinoma in the Shanghai Chest Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong Uni-versity. Randomized controlled double blind trial was used in this study. The patients of experimental group were treated with ipilimumab combined with paclitaxel and carboplatin, while the patients of control group were treated with the placebo combined with paclitaxel and carboplatin. Adverse events (AEs) were counted in the process of treatment.Results:The most common AEs were the 1/2 grade AEs. Immune-related AEs (irAEs) reported in the ipilimumab group included level Ⅰ of diarrhea and pruritus, level Ⅱ of rash and pruritus and level Ⅲ of hypophysitis.Conclusion:The side effects of ipilimumab were mild, tolerable and manageable.

Objective To investigate the value of urine L-type fatty acid-binding protein (uL-FABP) and uric neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL), and predict the value of poor outcomes (injury progression,dialysis,or death within 7 days ) in critically ill patients with early acute kidney injury (AKI) at time of nephropathy consultation. Methods One hundred and twenty-five patients with evidence of the AKIN criteria stage1 AKI were enrolled in this study. At time of nephropathy consultation , urinary samples were collected. The levels of uL-FABP and uNGAL were measured. Each marker was assessed for its predictive value using an area under the receiver operator characteristic curves (ROC-AUC) to predict AKI prognosis. Results Twenty-eight patients developed poor outcome. It was 0.81 in ROC-AUC in uL-FABP , in,which it could be improved to 0.83 when combined with APACHEⅡscore (0.75 in ROC-AUC). The ROC-AUC of uNGAL was 0.66, in which it could not impove its predictive power significantly when combined with APACHEⅡscore. Conclusion Among critically ill patients with early AKI , uL-FABP provided an independent and prognostic power when combined with APACHEⅡscore and the level of uL-FABP at time of nephropathy consultation helps to predict clinical outcome in critically ill patients with early AKI.
