OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical efficacy of wrist-ankle acupuncture in the treatment of functional frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). METHODS: A total of 64 patients with functional frequent PVCs were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 32 cases in each group. The observation group was treated with wrist-ankle acupuncture at bilateral upper 1 and upper 2 on the wrist. The control group received sham acupuncture at the same points as the observation group. Both groups were treated once every day from Monday to Friday, with the needles retained for 60 min each time, for a total of 4 weeks. The TCM syndrome score, the 24-hour PVC count, and MOS 36-item short form health survey (SF-36) score were compared between the two groups before and after treatment, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated after treatment. RESULTS: After treatment, the TCM syndrome scores and the 24-hour PVC counts in both groups were reduced compared with those before treatment (P<0.01), and the above indexes in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.01). After treatment，scores of all SF-36 items in the observation group were increased compared with those before treatment (P<0.01); in the control group, the scores of general health (GH), social function (SF) and role-emotional (RE) were increased compared with those before treatment (P<0.05). After treatment, scores of all SF-36 items in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.01). The total effective rate in the observation group was 90.6% (29/32), which was higher than 46.9% (15/32) in the control group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION Wrist-ankle acupuncture has a significant clinical efficacy in the treatment of functional frequent PVCs. It can effectively improve symptoms such as chest tightness and palpitations, reduce 24-hour PVC count, and improve patients' quality of life.

Objective To analyze the hot research spots of MOOC research of higher medical edu-cation in China. Methods We searched the database of China National Knowledge Infrastrucure (CNKI), VIP database of Chinese journal (VIP), Wanfang Database for published studies on MOOC research of higher medical education from 2005 to April 2015. The high frequency words were counted by an analysis program-Bibliographic Item Co-occurrence Matrix Builder (BICOMB). According to the ranking word frequency threshold formula by Donohue, we collected the high-frequency keywords. The corresponding co-word ma-trixes were constructed by Bibexcel, then the data was input into SPSS 19.0 software for hierarchical clus-tering analysis. Results Finally 2 459 articles were included. 11 177 keywords and 13 high frequency words (the number of the real selected was 24) were taken into account. The keywords “stanford” clus-tered with “education module”, “online education”, “online courses”, “distance education”, “learning pro-cess”, “self-regulated learning”, “information technology”, “classroom teaching”. The keywords “network course” clustered with “teaching design”. The keywords “online learning” clustered with itself. The key-words “challenge” clustered with “colleges and universities”. The keywords “flipped classroom” clustered with“micro-lecture”,“MOOC”,“higher education”, “library”, “teaching module”, “teaching reform”, “big data”,“open education”. The keywords“SPOC”clustered with itself. Conclusion The research of MOOC research of higher medical education in our country has formed the basic characteristics with six hot spots involving teaching design, the model of online learning, dispassion thinking, teaching reform, and develop-ment. And there are many potential areas.

Objective] To analyze the application of the idea of Stomach Qi of Treatise on Cold-Induced Disease in the differentiation of disease and pulse. [Method] To choose and analyze the articles, line by line, related to stomach Qi, including trying to treat, diet, stool and pulse, and to conclude the application of stomach Qi thought in disease diagnosis, cure and predicting the condition of disease.[Result] Treatise on Cold-Induced Disease advocating trying drug and food, if there was fever after drug and food, it meant stomach Qi was impaired, and it was hard to cure the diseases. On the contrary, there was stomach Qi, it was easy to cure the diseases. By using Xiao Chengqi Tang to try, if there was flatus to turn, it meant that stomach Qi was strong, and Catharis could be used. On the contrary, catharis could not be used. Being able to eat meaned that there was sthenic fever in middle energizer,or stomach Qi was recovering, or middle energizer was very deficient. Being not able to eat meaned the different condition of stomach Qi, according to the accompaning symptoms. Though observing the amount, shapes, colours,smel and frequency of feces, the conditions of heat and cold, deficiency and excess of a disease could be concluded. If syndrome and pulse were consistent, it meant that Stomach Qi stil existed, and a serious il ness could be cured. conversely stomach Qi was extremely deficient, and it was hard to cure a mild il ness. Floating FuYang pulse and too creek pulse being smal er than ChongYang pulse al meaned stomach Qi existing.[Result] Treatise on Cold-Induced Disease often judged the ups and downs of stomach Qi according to the differentiation of disease and pulse ,to predict the condition of disease.

Objective To investigate the influence of health-care Qigong Baduanjin on mental health of patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) . Methods Eighty-nine IGT patients were sampled from the physical examination center of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and then the subjects were randomly divided into groups A (N=30), B (N=29), C (N=30), which received health education, health education combined with walking exercise, health education combined with Baduanjin separately for one year. The scores of factors of physical and mental symptom checklist (SCL-90) were recorded before and after intervention. Results Compared to those before intervention, factor scores of interpersonal sensitivity and anxiety in group A were decreased obvi ously ( P<0.01) , factor scores of somatization, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, terror, paranoia, psychosis in group B were decreased obviously (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and factor scores of somatization, inter-personal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, paranoia, psychosis in group C were also decreased obviously (P<0.05 or P<0.01) after intervention. Group B had lower factor scores of somatization and interpersonal sensitivity than group A (P<0.05), group C had lower factor scores of somatization, anxiety, and paranoia than group A (P<0.05 or P<0.01), group B had lower factor scores of anxiety than group C (P<0.05) . Conclusion Both Baduanjin and walking exercise can promote mental health of patients with IGT, and the effect of Baduanjin is superior to that of walking exercise.
