ObjectiveTo explore the influence of electroacupuncture combined with point bloodletting and cupping for facial nerve function recovery in acute stage of idiopathic facial palsy （IFP）. MethodsEighty patients with IFP in the acute stage were randomly divided into 40 cases each in the treatment group and the control group. In the control group， oral prednisone acetate tablets were administered during the acute stage when the disease duration was less than 10 days； and electroacupuncture and flash cupping were provided during the recovery stage when the disease duration was more than 10 days， five times a week. For treatment group in acute stage， the stellate ganglion， vagus nerve stimulation point in the auricular cavity， Yifeng （TE 17） and Tinghui （GB 2） were needled on the affected side on the basis of the treatment of control group， with Yifeng and Tinghui connecting to electroacupuncture apparatus， once a day； point bloodletting and then cupping in Yifeng 2 times a week； in recovery stage， the treatment was the same as that of the control group. Both groups were treated until the 45th day from onset. The primary outcome was the Toronto facial grading system （SFGS）， and the secondary outcomes included house-brackmann （H-B） grade， facial disability index （FDI） score， and number of H-B grade-Ⅰ cases. Adverse events were recorded in both groups. ResultsThe SFGS scores of the patients in both groups were higher on the 10th， 30th and 45th days after onset of disease compared with those before the treatment （P＜0.05）； the H-B grade was lower on the 30th and 45th days after the onset of the disease compared with those before the treatment （P＜0.05）； and the facial disability index physical function （FDIP） and facial disability index social function （FDIS） scores were higher on the 30th and 45th days after onset of disease （P＜0.05）. SFGS scores of patients in the treatment group were significantly higher than those of the control group on the 30th and 45th days after onset （P＜0.05）； H-B grade was significantly lower than that of the control group on the 30th and 45th days after onset （P＜0.05）； and FDIP scores on the 45th day after onset， and FDIS scores on the 30th and 45th days after onset were significantly higher than those of the control group （P＜0.05）. At the end of treatment， 77.50% （31 cases） achieved H-B grade-Ⅰ in the treatment group， which was more than 55.00% （22 cases） in the control group （P＜0.05）. No adverse events occurred in either group. ConclusionElectroacupuncture combined with point bloodletting and cupping for IFP in acute stage can improve the recovery degree of facial nerve function， improve effectiveness， and show a high degree of safety.

Objective To investigate the impact of selective ulnar artery continuous circulatory compression in reducing radial artery occlusion in elderly patients undergoing coronary intervention for coronary artery disease. Methods A total of 450 elderly patients with coronary heart disease undergoing coronary intervention were selected as study objects, and were randomly divided into control group and experimental group, with 225 patients in each group. The control group received non-occlusive radial artery compression postoperatively, while the experimental group underwent selective ulnar arteria continuous circulatory compression using a customized pulse wave sphygmomanometer on the basis of the control group for a duration of 4 hours. Puncture site bleeding, pain, thumb skin temperature, nursing workload, delayed pressure measurement rate, radial artery blood flow velocity, and rates of radial artery occlusion and stenosis were compared between the two groups 24 hours postoperatively. Results There were no significant differences in puncture site bleeding, pain, thumb skin temperature, nursing workload, and delayed pressure measurement rate between the two groups (P>0.05). However, the experimental group presented significantly faster radial artery blood flow velocity 0.5 hours before removing the blood pressure monitor, as well as lower rates of radial artery occlusion and stenosis 24 hours postoperatively compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The use of a blood pressure monitor for selective continuous circulatory compression for a duration of 4 hours can enhance radial artery blood supply and reduce rates of postoperative radial artery occlusion and stenosis in elderly coronary intervention patients under the premise of not increasing the risk of bleeding, pain, nurse workload and delayed pressure extraction.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of magnesium sulfate in the treatment of acute severe asthma in adults. METHODS: Literature searches were conducted on PubMed, Cochrane, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang databases to screen randomized controlled trial (RCT) of magnesium sulfate in the treatment of acute severe asthma in adults, starting from the establishment of the database and ending on May 22, 2024. The control group received conventional treatment. The observation group was given intravenous magnesium sulfate on the basis of routine treatment. The outcome indexes included total effective rate, peak expiratory flow (PEF), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC) and other pulmonary function indexes, and incidence of adverse reactions. The selection of relevant literature, the collection of data needed for the study and the risk assessment of bias in the included study were all conducted independently by 2 researchers. Stata 12.0 software was used for Meta-analysis, and funnel plot was used to evaluate publication bias. RESULTS: Sixteen RCT studies with a total of 2 601 patients were included. Meta-analysis results showed that the total effective rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [risk ratio (RR) = 1.11, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 1.03-1.20, P = 0.008]. In pulmonary function examination, PEF [weighted mean difference (WMD) = 0.70, 95%CI was 0.24-1.15, P = 0.003], FEV1 (WMD = 0.48, 95%CI was 0.29-0.68, P = 0.000) and FVC (WMD = 0.72, 95%CI was 0.47-0.97, P = 0.000) were significantly better than those in the control group. There was no significantly difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (RR = 0.51, 95%CI was 0.17-1.55, P = 0.419). The funnel plot was drawn for the total effective rate, which showed that each study presented a symmetrical distribution, and the Begg's test (Z = 1.31, P = 0.189) and Egger's test (t = 1.18, P = 0.261) were combined to consider the small possibility of publication bias. CONCLUSIONS Current evidence shows that the use of magnesium sulfate in the treatment of acute severe asthma in adults increases the total response rate and improves lung function without increasing the incidence of adverse reactions. Due to the limited number and quality of included studies, the above conclusions need to be verified by more high-quality studies high-quality studies.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of SIMPLE regimen in the treatment of extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL).Methods:The clinical data of 11 patients with ENKTCL who were admitted to the University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital from January 2012 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients received 4-6 courses of SIMPLE (cisplatin, gemcitabine, ifosfamide, etoposide, dexamethasone, and pegasparaginase) regimen chemotherapy, and stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ patients who also received local radiotherapy after 2 or 3 courses of chemotherapy. Patients were evaluated for mid-treatment and end-of-treatment outcomes, and the adverse effects of patients were evaluated in each treatment cycle. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of the 11 patients.Results:All 11 patients were nasal type, with the median age of 41 years old (26-67 years old), including 5 males and 6 females, 3 relapsed cases and 8 newly treated cases. Of the 10 patients evaluated for efficacy, 9 achieved complete remission and 1 achieved at least partial remission (efficacy was assessed based on follow-up). All 11 patients were followed up for a median time of 50 months (15-72 months) and 2 relapsed patients died due to disease progression. The expected 5-year PFS rate and OS rate of 11 patients were both 90.0%, and the expected 5-year OS rate was 100.0% and 66.6% in newly treated and relapsed patients, respectively. Common adverse effects were hematologic adverse reactions, infections, gastrointestinal symptoms, elevated transaminases, and hypofibrinogenemia, all of which were curable. There is no treatment-related death.Conclusions:The SIMPLE regimen for the treatment of ENKTCL has a high remission rate, the patients have long survival time, and the regimen is moderately well tolerated.

Objective To explore the application value of artificial intelligence(AI)combined with multi-slice spiral CT in screening pulmonary nodules in health examination population in govern-ment departments.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the chest CT screening data of health examination population in government departments who had at least diameter of one nodule ≥3 mm.All data were analyzed using AI technology combined with manual film reading.The detection rate of pulmonary nodules was recorded.Based on the risk values predicted by AI technology,the nod-ules were divided into different risk groups,and the basic characteristics of the nodules were analyzed and compared.Results The detection rate of pulmonary nodules was 60.4％.High-risk patients were more likely to present as pure ground glass nodules or mixed ground glass nodules.The average age of individuals with pulmonary nodules was higher than those without(P＜0.05).There were sig-nificant differences in the basic characteristics of pulmonary nodules,including nature,morphology,internal signs,and external signs among different risk groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion Multi-slice spiral CT examination of the chest scan is helpful for screening pulmonary nodules in large-scale physi-cal examination populations.The combination of AI technology and manual film reading can improve the accuracy of pulmonary nodule screening.
