Objective To analyse the pathway of infection,risk factors,clinical characteristics and pathogenic bacteria distribution of neonatal sepsis.Methods Eighty-eight neonatal with sepsis were enrooled from January 2006 to December 2011 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Lanzhou University.According to disease stage,they were divided into early-onset sepsis group and late-onset sepsis groups.Results Respiratory infections in two groups was the majority (44.7% vs.46.0%),and there was no significant difference (P =0.906).That premature birth,low birth weight infant,amniotic fluid pollution and asphyxia were risk factors for early-onset sepsis.The most common clinical characteristics in early-onset sepsis were eating less milk(57.9%,22/38) and had fever of the late-onset sepsis(42.0%,21/50).Forty-one cases were with positive blood culture and the rate was 46.6% (41/88),the blood culture specimens were mainly Gram-positive bacteria in two group (75.0% (15/20),90.4% (19/21)).The most common pathogenic bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus and Coagulase-negative staphylococci.Conclusion Premature birth,low birth weight,meconium,asphyxia are risk factors of early onset neonatal sepsis.Early-onset sepsis often shows poor feeding,and late-onset sepsis in children prone to be fever.The common pathogenic germ of early-onset and late-onset sepsis are Grampositivebacteria,Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci common.As for neonate with highrisk factors,clinical features of early pathologic examination should be performed in order to further clarify the diagnosis and taking clinical therapy.

The STandards for Reporting Interventions in Clinical Trials Of Moxibustion (STRICTOM), in the form of a checklist and descriptions of checklist items, were designed to improve reporting of moxibustion trials, and thereby facilitating their interpretation and replication. The STRICTOM checklist included 7 items and 16 sub-items. These set out reporting guidelines for the moxibustion rationale, details of moxibustion, treatment regimen, other components of treatment, treatment provider background, control and comparator interventions, and precaution measures. In addition, there were descriptions of each item and examples of good reporting. It is intended that the STRICTOM can be used in conjunction with the main CONSORT Statement, extensions for nonpharmacologic treatment and pragmatic trials, and thereby raise the quality of reporting of clinical trials of moxibustion. Further comments will be solicited from the experts of the CONSORT Group, the STRICTA Group, acupuncture and moxibustion societies, and clinical trial authors for optimizing the STRICTOM.

Objective To observe the effects of body weight support training on walking ability of children with cerebral palsy. Methods 40 cases were divided into observation group (n=20) and control group (n=20). All the children accepted rehabilitation therapy based on Bobath approach and biofeedback, while those of observation group accepted body weight support training in addition, for 2 months. They were assessed with Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) D and E dimension before and after treatment. Results Both the scores of D and E dimension significantly improved in both groups after treatment (P<0.05), and improved more in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Body weight support training can further improve the walking ability in children with cerebral palsy.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are characterized by abnormal central processing with altered brain activation in response to visceral nociceptive signals. The effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on IBS patients is unclear. The study is set to study the effect of EA on brain activation during noxious rectal distension in IBS patients using a randomized sham-controlled model. METHODS: Thirty IBS-diarrhea patients were randomized to true electroacupuncture or sham acupuncture. Functional MRI was performed to evaluate cerebral activation at the following time points: (1) baseline when there was rectal distension only, (2) rectal distension during application of EA, (3) rectal distension after cessation of EA and (4) EA alone with no rectal distension. Group comparison was made under each condition using SPM5 program. RESULTS: Rectal distension induced significant activation of the anterior cingulated cortex, prefrontal cortex, thalamus, temporal regions and cerebellum at baseline. During and immediately after EA, increased cerebral activation from baseline was observed in the anterior cingulated cortex, bilateral prefrontal cortex, thalamus, temporal regions and right insula in both groups. However, true electroacupuncture led to significantly higher activation at right insula, as well as pulvinar and medial nucleus of the thalamus when compared to sham acupuncture. CONCLUSIONS: We postulate that acupuncture might have the potential effect of pain modulation in IBS by 2 actions: (1) modulation of serotonin pathway at insula and (2) modulation of mood and affection in higher cortical center via ascending pathway at the pulvinar and medial nucleus of the thalamus.
