ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of acupuncture combined with Du-Moxibustion (ADM) on peripheral blood cell count and levels of immune factors in patients with occupational chronic benzene poisoning. Methods A total of 70 patients with occupational chronic benzene poisoning (leukopenia and neutropenia) were selected as the research subjects by judgement sampling method. They were randomly divided into a control group and an ADM group using a random number table method, with 35 cases in each group. Patients in the control group were treated with conventional Western medicine such as leukocyte boosting and symptomatic treatment. While patients in the ADM group were treated with ADM treatment in addition to treatments of the control group, once per week for five consecutive weeks. Peripheral blood samples of patients were collected before and after treatment from both groups, to detect cell counts and serum levels of immune factors. Results The white blood cell count, red blood cell count, absolute lymphocyte count, absolute neutrophil count, platelet count, and levels of hemoglobin, immunoglobulins (Ig) A, IgM, IgG, complement C3 and complement C4 of patients in both groups improved after treatment compared with those before treatment (all P<0.05). The white blood cell count, levels of IgA, IgM, IgG, complement C3 and complement C4 of patients in the ADM group were higher than those in the control group after treatment (all P<0.05). Conclusion ADM treatment can increase peripheral blood white blood cells and serum levels of immune factor in patients with occupational chronic benzene poisoning (leukopenia, neutropenia), which helps improve patient recovery and can be promoted clinically.

Objective:
To observe the root and root canal morphology of mandibular second molars in Western Guangxi by CBCT, to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Methods:
In total, 564 patients′ 1 128 mandibular second molars that satisfy the inclusion criteria were analyzed with a planmecaromexis CBCT machine and its own image analysis software. The patients′ gender, age and ethnic differences in the root and canal morphology and the symmetry of the bilateral root and canal were statistically analyzed.
Results:
Among the 1 128 mandibular second molars, 662 were the Zhuang ethnic group and 384 were the Han ethnic group, and 82 were other ethnic groups; the double root type and C-shaped root type accounted for a relatively high proportion: 73.94% and 24.47%, respectively. The detection rates of the double root type were higher in males than in females (P < 0.05); the detection rates of the C-shaped root type were higher in females than in males (P <0.05); the root type of the teeth was mainly double-rooted in the Zhuang ethnic group (P<0.01). The incidence of type IV in the mesial root of the double root type mandibular second molar was the highest (P < 0.01), and the incidence of type I in the distal root was the highest (P < 0.01). The C-shaped root canal is more continuous at the mouth of the root canal, more downward corresponds to a worse continuity: in three different levels of root canal orifice, root middle and root apex, the root canal orifice is dominated by the C1 type, and both root middle and root apex are mainly C3-type (P < 0.01). The difference in symmetry of bilateral roots and root canals was statistically significant among different gender groups, age groups, and ethnic groups (P < 0.05): there were more males than females, the results in the 18-35-year-old group and the Zhuang ethnic group were higher.
Conclusion
The root and root canal morphology of mandibular second molars in western Guangxi people are complex and changeable. The roots are mainly double root type in the Han ethnic group and the Zhuang ethnic group. C-shaped roots are also common. The detection rate of C-shaped roots in the Zhuang ethnic group was higher, and the symmetry rate of bilateral roots and that of bilateral root canals was higher in the Zhuang ethnic group than in the Han ethnic group.

Apoptosis refers to the programmed death process of cells modulated by genes. It plays an important role in promoting the evolution of organisms, regulating the development of multiple systems, and maintaining the stability of internal environment. The major apoptosis pathways include mitochondrial pathways, death receptor pathways, and endoplasmic reticulum pathways. With the rapid development of the scientific research on acupuncture, it’s revealed that cell apoptosis should be closely related to the action of acupuncture. So far, the major apoptosis factors involved in relevant researches are P53, Bcl-2 family, Cyt-C, Caspase, Fas/Fasl, TNFR1/TNF-?, and FADD-Caspase8, and PERK, etc. Via influencing these apoptosis factors or genes, acupuncture can produce various effects in improving tissue ischemia, protecting neural cells, reducing inflammation, and correcting endocrine disorders. This article summarized and reviewed the apoptosis pathways and key factors related to the action of acupuncture, to provide some beneficial references for future studies.
