Postpartum lumbopelvic pain(PLPP)occurs in women during the period from pregnancy to the puerperium.Its root cause lies in the deficiency of qi and blood,and the key pathogenesis is the imbalance of qi and blood,leading to meridian blockage.When treating PLPP clinically,it is essential to focus on its pathogenesis and address both the root and the symptoms.Acupuncture points from the spleen meridian,stomach meridian,kidney meridian,conception vessel,and governor vessel are selected to tonify qi,nourish blood,replenish the kidneys,and fill essence to treat the root.Acupuncture points from the liver meridian,heart meridian,and bladder meridian are chosen to regulate qi,activate blood,calm the mind,and dispel cold and dampness to alleviate the symptoms.Ultimately,this approach aims to achieve a state of harmonious qi and blood and smooth meridians,providing a clinical acupuncture strategy for the treatment of PLPP.

The statement"Blood is the material carrier of spirit and qi"indicates that the generation of blood relies on the coordinated governance of spirit and qi,while simultaneously serving as their material foundation.Based on the physiological connection among"blood-spirit-qi",this article explores the pathogenesis of premature ovarian insufficiency(POI)accompanied by anxiety and depression.It proposes that essence and blood deficiency,premature exhaustion of Tian Gui(reproductive essence),and failure of blood to nourish the spirit form a pathological chain:"blood deficiency-spirit disturbance-POI with anxiety and depression".Blood stasis obstructing the uterine chamber,disorder of the chong and ren meridians,and failure of blood to carry the spirit give rise to the transformation:"blood stasis-spirit depression-POI with anxiety and depression".Liver qi stagnation and disruption of qi and blood further exacerbate the imbalance between blood and spirit,aggravating the disease progression.Based on this pathological analysis,the general treatment principle of"regulating blood,harmonizing spirit,and rectifying qi"is established.For patients with blood deficiency syndrome,treatment should focus on tonifying essence and blood,replenishing reproductive essence,and nourishing the spirit,selecting Guanyuan(CV4),Zusanli(ST36),and Sanyinjiao(SP6)as main acupoints.For patients with blood stasis syndrome,treatment should aim to regulate the chong and ren meridians,promote blood circulation,and calm the spirit,selecting Qichong(ST30),Zhongji(CV3),and Xuehai(SP10)as main acupoints.Simultaneously,the method of regulating the liver should be applied throughout the entire treatment process to soothe the liver,regulate qi,relieve depression,and calm the spirit,selecting Baihui(GV20),Taichong(LR3),and Ganshu(BL18)as main acupoints.Appropriate acupuncture techniques and methods should be chosen according to the patient's constitution and condition,providing new therapeutic ideas and approaches for clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of alveolar lavage combined with montelukast in the treatment of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) and its effect on oxidative stress and inflammatory factors in patients.Methods:A prospective study was conducted involving 90 patients with AECOPD who were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of Shan County Central Hospital from December 2021 to December 2022. The patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 45 patients in each group, using the random number table method. The control group received conventional treatment, while the observation group was additionally treated with alveolar lavage combined with montelukast. Symptom score, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, overall response rate, serum levels of oxidative stress markers (malondialdehyde, 4-hydroxynonenal, and superoxide dismutase), and serum levels of inflammatory factors (C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, and procalcitonin) were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results:After treatment, the symptom scores for both groups decreased significantly compared with their respective scores before treatment ( t = 6.68, 11.32, both P < 0.05). After treatment, the symptom score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(8.69 ± 0.84) points vs. (15.39 ± 1.18) points, t = 8.75, P < 0.05]. After treatment, the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( t = 9.19, P < 0.05). The overall response rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [93.33% (42/45) vs. 75.56% (34/45), t = 4.56, P < 0.05]. After treatment, serum levels of 4-hydroxynonenal and malondialdehyde in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = 4.20, 5.15, both P < 0.05), while serum level of superoxide dismutase in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( t = 5.23, P < 0.05). After treatment, serum levels of C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, and procalcitonin in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = 6.86, 5.60, 8.75, 4.89, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Alveolar lavage combined with montelukast can reduce clinical symptoms in patients with AECOPD, promote recovery, enhances clinical efficacy, decreases oxidative stress responses, increases the body's antioxidant capacity, lowers the expression of inflammatory factors, and reduces inflammatory responses.

The paper introduces Professor XU Yunxiang's experience in treatment of tic disorder with Xu's manual flying needling therapy by both hands. This therapy is characterized by the integration of yinyang regulation and the painless technique of manual flying needling. It is especially applicable to pediatric encephalopathy. Professor XU Yunxiang believes that tic disorder is related to the liver hyperactivity and spleen weakness, and the imbalance in the sea of marrow in pathogenesis. The treatment should focus on inhibiting the wood, supporting the earth, eliminating the wind and regulating the mind. The acupoints are specially selected on the head and from the back-shu points, the front-mu points and the affected meridians. The needling technique is featured by "flying for calming down the mind, manipulating with both hands simultaneously, combining the back-shu points and the front-mu points, inducing the sensation transmission, obtaining the reinforcing and reducing with both hands and removing the needles for tranquilizing the mind". This therapy is aimed at regulating the mind, qi and body movement. It increases the efficiency of acupuncture, reduces needling pain, strengthens needling sensation and improves children's compliance.

The passing of ethical review is a necessary conditions and prerequisite for the development of life science and medical research involving humans. At present, some medical and health institutions have no or insufficient ethical review capabilities. The lack of ethical review ability has become a bottleneck restricting the development of life science and medical research involving humans. According to documents such as Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the Review and Approval System and Encouraging the Innovation of Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices, Opinions on Strengthening the Ethical Governance of Science and Technology, institutions can entrust competent institutional ethics review committees or regional ethics review committees in writing to conduct ethical review. Entrustment ethical review provides a viable solution for institutions that need to carry out life science and medical research involving humans but do not have an ethics (review) committee or the ethics (review) committee is not competent to review. To conduct the entrustment ethical review, the entrustment between the principal and the trustee is required. According to The Measures for Ethical Review of Life Sciences and Medical Research Involving Humans, if medical and health institutions and their ethical review committees do not accept the formal entrustment to provide the ethical review opinions for other institutions, the local health authorities at or above the county level will impose administrative penalties and sanctions on the relevant institutions and personnel in accordance with the law. Signing the entrustment ethical review contract, implementing legal compliance entrusted ethical review to protect the rights and interests of the trustee and the principal, and protect the research participants.

There was no significant change in intraocular pressure at different time points between the two groups ( Fgroup=0.432, P=0.515; Ftime=0.329, P=0.721). No serious adverse effects occurred in both groups during the follow-up period. Conclusions:Compared with hot towel therapy, the use of heating physiotherapy goggles can relieve ocular discomfort of MGD patients more rapidly and improve the function and status of the meibomian gland more significantly.Heating physiotherapy goggles can treat MGD safely and effectively.

Objective:To explore the effect of health management based on constitution identification in perimenopausal women.Methods:From November 2020 to April 2021, 244 perimenopausal women from Doumen Street, Yuecheng District, Shaoxing were selected as the research subject by convenience sampling method, and divided into the control group (121 cases) and the observation group (123 cases) according to their respective communities. The control group adopted routine health management, while the observation group implemented health management based on constitution identification on the basis of routine health management. Three months after intervention, the perimenopausal symptom scores between the two groups were compared. One year after intervention, the number of individuals with biased constitution and quality of life scores between the two groups were compared.Results:Three months after intervention, the scores of hot flashes, sweating, insomnia, dizziness, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, headache, palpitations, and total score of perimenopausal symptom of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). Three months after intervention, there were no significant differences in scores of paraesthesia, mood swings, depressive suspicion, skin ant sensation, sexual difficulties, urinary tract infection between the observation group and the control group ( P>0.05). One year after intervention, the number of individuals with biased constitution of the observation group was less than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). One year after intervention, the scores of physical health, mental health, social relationship, and total score of quality of life of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). One year after intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in the score of the surrounding environment between the observation group and the control group ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:Health management based on constitution identification can improve the perimenopausal symptoms of perimenopausal women, gradually change their biased constitution towards a calm constitution, and improve their quality of life.

Clarifying the relationship between ethical principles and rules is the key to promote the legitimate governance of scientific and technological ethics. Ethical principles and rules, as the two basic elements of science and technology ethics, are both different and related. The ethical principles are the basis and direction of the formulation of the ethical rules which are the most direct expression of following the ethical principles and an effective means to improve the effect of ethical governance. Among them, ethical standards are the general standard rules with strong universality. Based on the analysis of the relationship between the ethical principles and the ethical guidelines, this paper put forward the expression mode and reasonable application of science and technology ethical principles in the ethical rules, so as to promote the improvement of the national ethics governance system of biomedical science and technology.

Objective Tostudy the influence of pipe structures on the mixing uniformity of airborne effluents from nuclear power plant chimneys. Methods We used the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method to simulate the velocity distribution and gas mixing in long straight pipes (I type) with square section and circular section, 90° single-bend pipes (L type) with square section and circular section, and 90° double-bend pipes (S type and U type) with square section and circular section. Results For the long straight pipe, due to the lack of flow disturbance caused by structural changes, the mixing effect was not good; when the pipe section was circular, it might take mixing distance 20 times the hydraulic diameter to achieve the uniformity index required by the relevant standard; for the square pipe, the distance might be longer. In the single bend pipe with square section, the velocity uniformity was improved more greatly after the bend, and the tracer gas met the mixing uniformity at a shorter distance (11 times the hydraulic diameter), as compared with the single bend pipe with circular section. For the S-type double-bend pipe, the tracer gas appeared uniformly mixed after a distance 6 times the hydraulic diameter in the square pipe, and 7 times the hydraulic diameter in the circular pipe. For the U-type double-bend pipe, the gas in the square pipe also achieved uniform mixing ata shorter distance downstream, and the airflow showed greater disturbance when passing through the bend. Conclusion The CFD method can make an accurate prediction for the change patterns of gas mixing uniformity in pipes with different structures, and can partially replace physical experiments to study the factors affecting the mixing uniformity of airborne effluents from the chimney of nuclear power plants.
