This article summarizes and analysis the rules of acupoint selection in the treatment of dysmenorrhea.Method:Computer retrieval and manual search were combined to look for domestic literature on dysmenorrhea treated by acupuncture and moxibustion in year 2003 to 2011.There were altogether 20 qualified articles,concerning 28 acupoints.The above results showed that in the treatment of dysmenorrhea,the commonly used points are distributed in Ren,spleen meridian of foot-Taiyin,foot Yangming meridian and foot Taiyang meridian.Specific acupoints was the main type for selecting points.

Objective To observe the effectiveness of botulinum toxin A (BTXA) in the treatment of small sample patients with acute acquired concomitant esotropia. Design Retrospective case series. Participants 6 patients (3 female and 3 male) with acute acquired concomitant esotropia aged 6 to 34 years. Methods All the patients were received 2.5 units of BTXA injected into the bilateral medial rectus muscles once under electromyographic control. They were performed alter prism-cover test,synoptophore and stereoscopic charts test. Main Outcome Measures The alignment of eyes and binocular vision. Results The follow-up of patients was 4 to 39 months. The pre-injection angle of deviation was 43.3?1.0△; the angle of deviation at the last follow-up was 3.3?8.2△,and 5 patients achieved alignment. In pre-injection,one patient had distance stereopsis,2 patients had near stereopsis with 600 seconds and 40 seconds; after injection,5 patients demonstrated distance and near stereeopsis (3 patients 40 seconds,1 patient 60 seconds,and 1 patient 200 seconds). Conclusion This small sample study shows that BTXA injection is effective alternative in treating acute acquired concomitant esotropia.

Towards the problems after the medical reform of China,such as dramatic increase of healthcare expenditure and conflict between doctor and patient,this paper analyzes the tripartite relationships between hospital,insurance supplier and patient from the theoretical and practical aspects,concludes that the non-balanced development of the current relationships is an important reason of the problems,and gives the corresponding countermeasures for reference.

OBJECTIVE To determine the bacterial distribution and resistance of biliary tract infections in China.METHODS Disc diffusion test,MIC test or E-test were used to detect the antimicrobial sensitivity of bacterial isolates from bile specimens.WHONET software was applied for analysis of the bacterial sensitive data from 84 tertiary Mohnarin member hospitals at different area in China from June 1,2006 to May 31,2007.RESULTS A total of 1441 bacterial strains were collected in the survey period,which included 952 Gram-negative strains(66.1%),of which the top three were Escherichia coli(31.0%),Klebsiella pneumoniae(8.4%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa(7.8%) and 489 Gram-positive strains(33.9%),the top three were Enterococcus faecalis(11.6%),E.faecium(9.5%) and Staphylococcus(7.4 %).Susceptibility results showed that the resistant rates of E.coli and K.pneumoniae to three generation cephalosporins and quinolones were 25.9-70.0%,17.9-44.8% and 66.9-70.9%,34.6-40.0%,respectively,which were comparable with the results of overall bacteria collection.The resistant rates of P.aeruginosa to imipenem and cefoperazone/sulbactam were 37.5%,13.8%,and the detection rate of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) from bile samples was higher than the results of overall bacteria collection.Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus(VRE) were rare.CONCLUSIONS Gram-negative bacilli are still the predominant pathogens in biliary tract infections;the overall bacterial resistance is severe.MRSA is increasing.Prudent application of antibiotics in biliary tract infections needs to be emphasized.

Objective To observe the effect of ligustrazine hydrochioridc(LHC) injection on TGF-β1 -induced proliferation and type IV collagen secretion in the human mesangial cells(HMCs). Methods The interstitial fibrosis in kidney disease was mimicked by inducing proliferation and type IV collagen secretion in HMCs with TGF- β1. The experiment was divided into 5 groups: blank, control, low, medium, and high(10, 30, and 100 μg/ml)ligustrazinc hydrochloride groups. MTT method was adopted to examine the proliferation and inhibition rate of HMCs. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine the production of type IV collagen in cultured HMCs. Results LHC at high concentration (100 μg/ml) significantly inhibited the proliferation of HMCs (P<0. 01). LHC also inhibited the production of type IV collagen, with the significant inhibition found when at the concentration of 100 μg/ml (P

BACKGROUND: In previous studies on tissue-engineered adipose, the pore size of scaffolds is easily neglected. If the pore size was large, cells would flow away along the pore and could not maintain in the scaffold. If the pore size was small, cells would distribute on the surface of the scaffold, and could not enter the scaffold. Simultaneously, it would be not contribute to growth of new vessels. OBJECTIVE: To screen appropriate silk fibroin porous scaffolds to construct tissue-engineered adipose. METHODS: Under unchanged concentration of flbroin, six kinds of silk fibroin porous scaffolds in different aperture were prepared by changing freezing and drying temperature and time. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) were harvested using attachment method. The potentiality of its osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation was detected by chemistry staining. The apertures of six kinds of silk fibroin porous scaffolds were measured by scanning electron microscope. The adhesion and proliferation of hUCMSCs on silk fibroin porous scaffolds in different aperture were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The apertures of six silk fibroin porous scaffolds were (39.94±17.27), (53.51±16.18), (63.97±19.76), (71.08±18.07), (87.33±21.78), (121.97±44.10) μm, respectively. The strong ability of attachment of hUCMSCs appeared in the number two scaffold, and in other materials (number 1,3,4,5,6), there were not any cell in them except number one and three. Therefore, 50 μm might be a suitable aperture to construct tissue-engineered adipose with silk flbroin porous scaffolds using hUCMSCs.
