		                        			ObjectiveTo observe the analgesic efficacy and safety of Qihuang acupuncture theory combined with opioid analgesics in patients with moderate to severe cancer pain due to lung cancer. MethodsPatients with moderate to severe cancer pain from lung cancer were randomly divided into Qihuang acupuncture group and control group, with 33 cases in each group. The control group was treated with long-acting opioid analgesics at maintenance doses and supplementary analgesic medications as needed. In case of breakthrough pain, short-acting opioids were used for rescue. The Qihuang acupuncture group received Qihuang acupuncture treatment in addition to the treatment used in the control group, administered once every other day, with 3 sessions constituting one treatment course. The treatment duration for both groups was 5 days. The primary outcome was the change in pain intensity, measured using the numerical rating scale (NRS) before and after treatment, and the NRS change rate was calculated. Secondary endpoints included the daily NRS change rate, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) score, the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Core Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) score, and the 24-hour equivalent hydrocodone sustained-release tablet dose. Laboratory tests, including routine blood, urine, stool, liver function, and kidney function, were performed before and after treatment. Adverse events were recorded throughout the trial. ResultsAll patients completed the trial, and both groups showed a decrease in average NRS scores and PS scores after treatment, with the Qihuang acupuncture group showing lower average NRS scores and PS scores than the control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). After treatment, the NRS change rate in the Qihuang acupuncture group was (0.42±0.17), significantly higher than that in the control group (0.14±0.27, P<0.01). The daily NRS change rate during treatment was also higher in the Qihuang acupuncture group compared to the control group (P<0.01). The Qihuang acupuncture group showed an increase in overall health status and functional scores in the EORTC QLQ-C30, and a decrease in symptom scores for fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, and financial difficulties. In contrast, overall health status and constipation scores in the control group increased, while scores of fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, and appetite loss decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). After treatment, the 24-hour equivalent hydrocodone sustained-release tablet dose did not show significant difference in the Qihuang acupuncture group (P>0.05), while the control group showed a significant increase in the 24-hour dose (P<0.01). No significant abnormalities were observed in laboratory tests before and after treatment in either group. During the study, the incidence of nausea and vomiting as well as constipation in the Qihuang acupuncture group was both 3.03% (1/33), while the incidence in the control group was 27.27% (9/33) and 36.36% (12/33), respectively, with the Qihuang acupuncture group showing significantly lower incidence (P<0.01). No serious adverse reactions were observed in either group. ConclusionQihuang acupuncture therapy combined with opioid analgesics is more effective than using opioids alone in relieving pain in patients with moderate to severe cancer pain due to lung cancer. It can improve the patients' physical condition and quality of life, reduce the dose of opioid analgesics, and has good safety.

		                        			Objective We aimed to explore the clinical efficacy of precise electro-acupuncture stimulation in the pterygopalatine fossa for the treatment of chronic sinusitis.Methods In total,40 patients with chronic sinusitis who visited the Xiyuan Hospital,China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences between January 2022 and January 2023 were selected.The subjects were randomly divided into two groups:the treatment group(receiving precise electro-acupuncture in the pterygopalatine fossa)and the control group(receiving standard western medical treatment),with 20 cases in each groups.The treatments were administered twice a week for a period of 12 weeks.The effectiveness of the treatments was evaluated through computed tomography(CT)of the sinus changes and the Lund-Mackay scoring system.Results In cases of total opacity and partial opacity,there were significant differences between the two patient groups before and after treatment(P<0.05).Intra-group comparison revealed statistically significant improvements in both groups before and after treatment(P<0.05).The treatment group exhibited significant improvement in various sinus conditions(P<0.05),while in the control group,a significant improvement was only observed in the left maxillary sinus(P<0.05).Inter-group comparison also demonstrated that the treatment group's improvements were superior to those of the control group across multiple indicators(P<0.05).Conclusion The precise electro-acupuncture stimulation technique in the pterygopalatine fossa demonstrated significant therapeutic effects in the treatment of chronic sinusitis,with superior outcomes with respect to radiological changes compared to standard western medicine treatment.

		                        			Objective To explore the heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) content of carbon monoxide (CO) levels and clinical significance of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in children.Methods 219 cases of mycoplasma pneumonia from October 2013 to June 2015 in our hospital were divided into two groups,which were non-asthmatic group (156 cases) and wheezing group (63 cases),and the wheezing group were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of hypoxemia and mild asthmatic group (39 cases) and severe asthmatic group (24 cases).HO-1 content in the blood was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,using dual-wavelength spectrophotometric determination of hemoglobin oxygen percentage of broken (COHb%),analysis of the differences between the groups.Results Children with blood COHb content wheezing group were (2.59 ± 0.40)% and HO-1 levels were (1 813.24 ± 28.34)ng/L and non-respite group were significantly increased,it had significant differences between the two groups (P< 0.05).Group of children with severe wheezing COHb content were (3.63 ± 0.45)% and HO-1 levels were (2 594.34±23.94)ng/L and mild wheezing group were significantly increased,it had significant differences between the two groups (P<0.05).Positive correlation between blood COHb content and HO-1 levels were significantly (r=0.733,P<0.05).Conclusion Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in children with wheezing blood COHb content and HO-1 levels were significantly increased,and with wheezing exacerbation and showed an increasing trend,suggesting that CO and HO-1 may be involved in Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in children in the pathogenesis of wheezing,should lead to clinical attention.

		                        			Aim To investigate the relationship between neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and the amnesia and hypnosis induced by enflurane in mice.Methods Animal models were established by Intraperitoneal injecting of enflurane(2.2 ml?kg-1 and 0.4 ml?kg-1).Artificial cerebrospinal fluid or different dose of nicotine were intracerebroventricular injected,then sleeping time in the analeptic test was recorded;and the step down latency and error times in the step down test;step through latency and error times in the step through test.For the independent activity test,recorded the independent activity times of mice treated with enflurane(0.4 ml?kg-1) in 5 min.Results Compared with control group,intracerebroventricular nicotine decreased sleeping time in the analeptic test,increased step down latency and step through latency in both step down test and step through test.Furthermore,the error times were decreased in both tests.All the outcomes were significant and the influence was dose-dependent.There was no significant difference for the independent activity times of mice treated with 0.4 ml?kg-1 enflurane by ip injection.Conclusion All the evidence suggested that neuronal nicotinic receptor is one of important targets for the hypnotic and amnestic effect of enflurane in mice.
