In this paper, issues of acupuncture using target points and depth of needling were discussed based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine acupoints and combined with anatomical and neurological research of Western medicine. The theoretical evidence of acupuncture on nerve foramen and ganglion and the reasons for being nonstandard operating on acupoints were analyzed. This study summarized the method of using acupuncture at Xiaguan (ST7), Cuanzhu (BL2), Sibai (ST2) and Jiachengjiang acupoints to align with the spheno-palatine ganglion and additional nerve foramen (supraorbital, infraorbital and mental foramina) to treat primary trigeminal neuralgia. This study adhered to the Standards for Reporting Interventions in Clinical Trials of Acupuncture and helped in development of study standardization for acupuncture processes. The authors hoped that should help in significantly diminishing risk and improving therapeutic efficacy in clinic.

Objective: To establish a risk prediction model and scoring system in patients with side branch (SB) occlusion during coronary bifurcation intervention. Methods: A total of 7007 consecutive patients who received percutanenous coronary intervention (PCI) in our hospital from 2012-02 to 2012-07 were recruited and 1545 patients (with 1601 bifurcation lesions) treated by single stent technique or main vessel stenting ifrst strategy were selected for our study. According to weather SB occlusion occurred during operation, the lesions were divided into 2 groups: Non-SB occlusion group,n=1431 and SB occlusion group,n=114. The data set of the ifrst 1200/1601 lesions by time sequence, was used for establishing the risk model and scoring system, the data set of rest 401 lesions was used for model validation. Results: The modeling data set presented that the relationship between pre-operative main vessel plaque and the position of branch vessel, the main blood vessel pre-stenting TIMI grade, the stenosis degree of pre-operative bifurcation nucleus, the angle of pre-operative bifurcation and the ratio of pre-senting stenosis degree of branch diameter and pre-operative main vessel to branch vessel diameter were the independent risk factors for branch occlusion. The risk model ROC=0.80, 95% CI 0.75-0.85, Hosmer-Lemeshow HLP=1.00; the scoring system ROC=0.76, 95% CI 0.71-0.82, HLP=0.12. The validation data set ROC=0.81, 95% CI 0.73-0.89, HLP=0.77; the scoring system ROC=0.77, 95% CI 0.69-0.86, HLP=0.58. The quartile integration of both data sets indicated that the patients with the integration score ≥ 10 had the higher risk for SB occlusion than those with integration score < 10 during the operation,P<0.001. Conclusion: Our research developed a simple and user-friendly system, it may distinguish the patients with high risk of SB occlusion during bifurcation intervention by quantitative stratiifcation of coronary angiographic imaging.

Objective To investigate the risk factors and clinical manifestations of placental abruption, and to analyze the causes of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted in 135584 women who delivered in Women′s Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University from January 2005 to December 2015. The diagnosis of placental abruption was made in 1212 cases. According to the consistency of prenatal and postnatal diagnosis, they were divided into 3 groups.(1) The diagnosis was consistent prenatally and postnatally in 715 cases(58.99%,715/1212) as the diagnosis group.(2)In 312 cases (25.74%,312/1212), the diagnosis was made after birth as the missed diagnosis group.(3)In 185 cases (15.26%,185/1212), the diagnosis was made prenatally but excluded after birth as the misdiagnosis group. The disease classification was made, and the risk factors, clinical manifestations, lab results, the time of termination and perinatal outcomes were recorded in the 3 groups. The reasons of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis were analyzed. Results (1) In the 1212 cases, the diagnosis of placental abruption was confirmed in 1027 cases, with the incidence of 0.76%(1027/135584). The rate of missed diagnosis was 30.38%(312/1027), and the rate of misdiagnosis was 0.14%(185/134557). (2) There were significant differences in the degree of placental abruption among the 3 groups (P＜0.05). (3)Significant differences were found among the 3 groups regarding the ratio of hypertensive disorders, trauma, induced labor and advanced maternal age (all P＜0.05). (4) There were statistically significant differences among the 3 groups regarding the incidence of vaginal bleeding, persistent abdominal pain and uterine tenderness, bloody amniotic fluid, increased uterine tension and stillbirth (all P＜0.05). (5) There was no significant difference in the rate of abnormal fetal heart rate mornitoring among the 3 groups (P=0.22). The differences were statistically significant among the 3 groups when regarding the incidence of abnormal ultrasound finding and abnormal blood coagulation (P＜0.01), with the highest incidence of abnormal ultrasound in the diagnosis group (68.1%) and the highest incidence of abnormal coagulation in the misdiagnosis group (24.9%). (6)There was statistically significant difference among the 3 groups when comparing the ratio of termination of pregnancy within 24 hours (P=0.01). (7) There were statistically significant differences among the 3 groups when the ratios of postpartum hemorrhage, DIC, neonatal asphyxia and perinatal death were compared (all P＜0.05). The highest incidence of postpartum hemorrhage was in the diagnosis group (17.9%) and the lowest was in the misdiagnosis group (5.4%). The highest incidence of DIC was in the diagnosis group (3.9%) and the lowest was in the misdiagnosis group (0). The highest incidence of neonatal asphyxia was in the diagnosis group (30.6%) and the lowest was in the misdiagnosis group (7.6%). And for perinatal death, the highest incidence was in the diagnosis group (12.6%), the lowest was in the misdiagnosis group (2.2%). Conclusions Placental abruption could be misdiagnosed when depending on risk factors, such as trauma. And it could be missed diagnosis during the induction of labor. Uterine contraction, abnormal fetal heart rate mornitoring, abnormal ultrasound and abnormal coagulation function are important in the diagnosis of placental abruption.

Objective To discuss the change and significance of hepcidin expression in patients with hyperlipemia after allograft renal transplantation.Methods Allograft renal transplantation recipients were divided into hyperlipemia group (n =35),and non-hyperlipemia group (n =25).Normal control group was divided into non-hyperlipemia subgroup (n =30),and hyperlipemia group (n =25).ELISA was used to detect serum hepcidin and IL6.Relevant indexes of hematology,biochemistry,and iron metabolism were examined.Results As compared with other three groups,hyperlipemia group after allogenic kidney transplantation had increased serum hepcidin,IL-6,and serum ferritin expression (P＜0.05).Single factor analysis of each group revealed that serum hepcidin expression was correlated with serum ferritin and IL-6 (P ＜ 0.05).Correlation analysis on all specimens demonstrated that serum hepcidin was correlated with glomerular filtration rate,total cholesterol,triglycerides,serum ferritin and IL6 expression (P＜0.05).Conclusion Renal allograft transplantion recipients with hyperlipemia have higher serum hepcidin expression; There exists correlation between the expression of serum ferritin and expression of IL-6,which could reflect the hyperlipemia-induced atherosclerosis and its progress.

Objective To detect the expression and correlation of serum Hepcidin,IL-6,sTfR,BMP6 diversity and explore the role of serum Hepcidin in prostate cancer with bone metastasis.Methods From January 2012 to March 2012,serum Hepcidin,IL-6,sTfR,BMP6 diversity were tested by ELISA in 25 prostate cancer patients with bone metastasis,30 prostate cancer patients without bone metastasis and 30 patients with BPH were used as the control group.The mean patient's age was 67 years (range from 55 to 75 years).In prostate cancers with bone metastasis group,the mean PSA base line was 138.0 μg/L (ranged from 20.0-1500 μg/L),the prostate cancers without bone metastasis group,mean PSA was 10.2 μg/L(ranged from 3.5-28.2 μg/L),and in BPH group,the mean PSA was 3.7 μg/L (ranged from 0.3-14.2 μg/L).Venous blood samples were taken in fasting mornings,then stored 3 ml in EDTA anticoagulant vacuum tube and centrifuged at4 ℃ for 10 min,the isolated serum were then preserved in-80 ℃ refrigerator.The competitive in-phase enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) was used to detect serum Hepcidin,IL-6 and sTfR and BMP6 levels.Results Serum Hepcidin expressions in three groups were 67.7 ± 40.6 μg/L,37.5 ± 15.3 μg/L and 34.3 ± 10.7 μg/L,respectively.For prostate cancers with bone metastasis group,serum Hepcidin expression were higher than control group (P ＜ 0.05),and associated with IL-6(22.5 ±22.1 μg/L),sTfR (5.7 ± 2.6 μg/L),BMP6 (429.3 ± 188.4 μg/L),correlation coefficients were 0.972,-0.987,0.971 (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Increased serum Hepcidin level might be a sensitive index for diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancers with bone metastasis.

Objective To explore the dynamic changes of D-dimers during pregnancy and early puerperium (within 3 days postpartum). Methods A retrospective study was performed among 8 367 healthy women who had term singleton delivery in Women′s Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University from January 2007 to December 2014. D-dimers concentrations during pregnancy and early puerprium of all the cases were collected. Data of 21 065 D-dimers tests were assigned to 5 groups according to the time of sampling, including early pregnancy (≤12 gestation weeks), middle pregnancy (12-28 gestation weeks), late pregnancy (>28 gestation weeks), 1 postpartum (within 48 hours postpartum) and 2 postpartum (48-72 hours postpartum). The D-dimers concentrations in different groups were compared. The effect of delivery mode on D-dimers of early pureperium was analyzed. The correlation between D-dimers and the thromboembolic disease was also explored. In this study, Student′s t-test and Wilcoxon rank sum test were used for statistical analysis. D-dimers concentration≤0.5 mg/L was used as the normal range. Results (1) D-dimers concentrations during pregnancy were higher than the non-pregnant women (P<0.01), but there was no statistical difference between early pregnancy and late pregnancy (P=0.820). D-dimers concentration in the 1 postpartum group was higher than that of early pregnancy group or late pregnancy group (P<0.01). But in the 2 postpartum group, it was lower than early pregnancy, late pregnancy and 1 postpartum groups. (2)D-dimers in cesarean section cases was significantly higher than in vaginal delivery cases in each period of pregnancy and early pueprium.(3)The 95%CI of D-dimers in early pregnancy, late pregnancy, 48 hours after vaginal delivery, 48-72 hours after vaginal delivery, ≤48 hours after cesarean section, 48-72 hours after cesarean section were 0.58-8.28, 0.47-11.52, 1.04-9.59, 0.87-5.22, 1.07-11.58 and 1.00-6.23 mg/L, respectively.(4)In 6 cases with thromboembolic disease, D-dimers was 6.89-19.89 mg/L, with the mean value of 13.66 mg/L. It was significantly higher than normal range. In 3 cases, all after cesarean section, with lower extremity vein thrombosis within 48 hours postpartum, the D-dimers concentrations, 9.77, 8.65 and 6.89 mg/L respectively, were in the 95%CI of the study population after cesarean section. Conclusions D-dimers concentration of 0.5 mg/L is not suitable for venous thromboembolism screening during pregnancy. D-dimers concentration in pregnancy and early puerprium is higher than non-pregnancy. It increases in the very early period postpartum and decreases with time. D-dimers should not be a routine screening test to exclude thromboembolic disease in pregnant women without high risk factors and clinical manifestation of thromboembolic disease.

A reversed phase ultra performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometric method was developed for the separation and analysis of triglycerides in edible oils. The samples were separated by using three ultra performance C18 columns in series with a total length of 40 cm (10 cm + 15 cm + 15 cm) at high pressure with acetonitrile-isopropanol (50:50, V/V) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 0. 2 mL/min and at col-umn temperature of 25℃, and detected by APCI ionization-mass spectrometry. The edible oil sample was dis-solved in isopropanol and injected in LC-MS directly. The triglycerides in edible oils were distinguished to their better fine components which included corn oil, peanut oil, sunflower seed oil, rice oil, olive oil, sesa-me oil and soybean oil. The chromatograms of different edible oils showed that the same kind of edible oil was composed of similar triglyceride composition and content, while the different kind of edible oils differed. The experimental result showed that the method could be use for identifying 5% lard adulterated in soybean oil. The method suggests a significant research way for identifying adulteration in edible oil.

Medication has become the first-line option for the management of lower urinary tract symptoms induced by benign prostatic hyperplasia (LUTS/BPH) for its advantages in controlling the symptoms, inhibiting BPH progression, and reducing serious complications and surgical risks. Recent years have witnessed remarkable achievement in the studies of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5-Is) in the treatment of LUTS/BPH. PDE5-Is can effectively alleviate LUTS/BPH, with even better efficacy when combined with al-ARAs.
