Objective:To observe the improving effect of acupuncture and Tuina(Chinese therapeutic massage)combined with Ba Duan Jin(Eight-brocade Exercise)on motor function in patients with Parkinson disease(PD)in the early and middle stages.Methods:Seventy patients with early-or middle-stage PD were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 35 patients in each group.The control group was given conventional treatment such as oral levodopa hydrochloride tablets;the observation group was treated with acupuncture,Tuina,and Ba Duan Jin in addition to the control group's treatment.Acupuncture and Tuina were administered twice a week,and Ba Duan Jin was performed five times a week.Each course of treatment lasted 4 weeks,and a total of 3 courses were completed.The changes in the unified Parkinson disease rating scale Ⅲ(UPDRS Ⅲ)score,Berg balance scale(BBS)score,15-meter walking speed,and 6-minute walk distance were compared between the two groups.Results:The total effective rate in the observation group was 93.6%,which was significantly higher than 45.7%in the control group(P<0.01).After 4,8,and 12 weeks of treatment,the UPDRS Ⅲ score in the observation group was significantly lower than the previous score(P<0.05);the BBS score was significantly higher than the previous score(P<0.05),and the 6-minute walk distance also significantly increased compared to the previous result(P<0.05).After 8 and 12 weeks of treatment,the 15-meter walking speed in the observation group was significantly higher than that before treatment and the previous measurement(P<0.05).In comparison with the control group,the observation group showed significantly lower UPDRS Ⅲ scores after 8 and 12 weeks of treatment(P<0.05).Additionally,after 4,8,and 12 weeks of treatment,the observation group had significantly higher BBS scores,15-meter walking speed,and the 6-minute walk distance than the control group(P<0.05).There were no significant differences in the above indicators before and after treatment in the control group(P>0.05).Conclusion:The addition of acupuncture,Tuina,and Ba Duan Jin to Western medication treatment can effectively improve motor function,balance ability,and walking ability in patients with early-or middle-stage PD.

Objective To investigate the relationship between cystatin C(CysC)/prealbumin(PAB)ratio and lung function and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)assessment test(CAT)score in patients with COPD.Methods A total of 216 COPD patients admitted to the hospital from February 2021 to February 2024 were selected as the study group,and 150 healthy subjects were selected as the control group during the same period.CysC and PAB levels were detected by immunoturbidimetry,CysC/PAB ratio was calculated,lung function was detected and CAT scores were recorded.Pearson correlation was used to analyze the rela-tionship between CysC/PAB ratio,lung function and CAT score in COPD patients.Results The CysC and CysC/PAB ratio in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group,and the level of PAB was significantly lower than that in the control group,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).The forced expiratory volume in the first second as a percentage of predicted value(FEV1％pred),the percentage of pre-dicted forced vital capacity(FVC％pred)and the ratio of the first second forced expiratory volume to forced vital capacity(FEV1/FVC)of the study group were lower than those of the control group,and the CAT score of the study group was higher than that of the control group,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).The Cy-sC/PAB ratio and CAT score of COPD patients with the global initiative for chronic obstructive lung disease(GOLD)grade 4 were significantly higher than those with GOLD grade 3,GOLD grade 2 and GOLD grade 1,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The ratio of CysC/PAB in very severely affected pa-tients was higher than that in severely affected,moderately affected and mildly affected patients,while the ra-tio of FEV1％pred,FVC％pred and FEV1/FVC was lower than that in severely affected,moderately affected and mildly affected patients,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).In COPD patients,Cy-sC/PAB ratio was negatively correlated with FEV1％pred,FVC％pred,FEV1/FVC,and positively correlated with CAT score(P＜0.05).Conclusion CysC/PAB ratio is highly expressed in COPD patients,and its level is related to lung function and CAT score,which can reflect the degree of disease and quality of life in COPD patients to a certain extent.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of combined prediction of postpartum hypertension using 24-h urinary protein quantification(24-hUP),hematocrit and plasma albumin difference(HCT-ALB),and brain natriuretic peptide(BNP)in patients with severe preeclampsia at the end of pregnancy.Methods A retrospective study was conducted using cluster sampling to select 540 patients with severe preeclampsia from the University City Hospital affiliated to Chongqing Medical University between January 2018 and December 2022.Patients were divided into a hypertension group(n=98)and a non-hypertension group(n=442)based on the occurrence of postpartum hypertension.Clinical data[age,body mass index(BMI),maternal type,abortion history,family history of hypertension,smoking history,total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),fasting blood glucose(FBG),systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP)]and levels of 24-hour urinary protein excretion(UP),hematocrit-albumin(HCT-ALB),and BNP in the third trimester of pregnancy were compared between the two groups to analyze the predictive value of these indicators for postpartum hypertension.Results The levels of BMI,family history of hypertension,TC,TG,FBG,SBP and DBP in hypertensive group were higher than those in non-hypertensive group[(25.63±1.37)kg/m2 vs(23.05±1.23)kg/m2,70.41%vs 30.54%].(5.32±1.14)mmol/L vs(3.91±0.95)mmol/L,(3.48±0.82)mmol/L vs(1.66±0.43)mmol/L,(7.24±1.60)mmol/L vs(4.83±1.22)mmol/L,(148.27±13.29)mmHg vs(127.65±10.71)mmHg,(92.36±5.17)mmHg vs(84.20±4.35)mmHg],the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The levels of urinary protein,HCT,HCT-ALB and BNP at 24 h at the end of pregnancy in hypertension group were also higher than those in non-hypertension group[(7.82±2.18)g/24 h vs(6.15±1.26)g/24 h,(34.22±3.15)%vs(32.80±1.77)%].(6.19±2.01)vs(3.46±0.90),(646.43±170.59)pg/mL vs(523.81±134.62)pg/mL],while ALB level was lower than that of the non-hypertension group[(28.03±1.13)g/L vs(29.34±1.44)g/L],with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).There was a positive correlation between 24-hUP,HCT,HCT-ALB,BNP and SBP,DBP,while ALB was negatively correlated with SBP and DBP,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).24-hUP,HCT-ALB and BNP at the end of pregnancy were independent risk factors for postpartum hypertension,with a combined prediction AUC of 0.930(95%CI:0.905～0.950),a Jordon index of 0.719,sensitivity of 85.71%,the specificity of 86.20%.The AUC of the combined prediction was significantly greater than that of each individual predictor,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion 24-hUP,HCT-ALB,and BNP at the end of pregnancy are independent risk factors for postpartum hypertension.Their combined predictive efficacy is significantly superior to that of individual indicators and can be used as an optimal clinical method for predicting whether patients with severe preeclampsia will develop postpartum hypertension.
