浮针治疗帕金森病伴发四肢疼痛临床研究

目的:对浮针治疗帕金森病伴四肢疼痛患者的临床疗效进行观察。方法:将确诊的40例住院患者随机分为观察组(20例)和对照组(20例)。在常规药物治疗的基础上,予观察组2天1次的浮针治疗,共进行2周;予对照组常规针刺治疗,每日1次,1周6次,共进行2周。比较两组治疗前及治疗2周后的McGill疼痛问卷简表(SF-MPQ)及39项帕金森病生存质量调查问卷(PDQ-39)评分;分别对两组临床疗效进行统计分析。结果:治疗2周后,两组患者的SF-MPQ单项评分及总分均较治疗前明显减少(均P<0.05),观察组评分明显低于对照组(P<0.05);两组患者的PDQ-39评分较治疗前明显减少(均P<0.05),观察组优于对照组(P<0.05)。总有效率方面,观察组为95%(19/20),高于对照组70%(14/20)(P<0.05)。结论:使用浮针对帕金森病伴发四肢疼痛患者进行治疗,可有效缓解患者疼痛症状,提升患者生活质量,疗效优于普通针刺。     

枸杞多糖对大鼠角膜缘干细胞体外增殖的影响研究

目的通过体外分离和培养大鼠角膜缘干细胞(Limbal Stem Cells, LSCs)，观察枸杞多糖(Lyciumbarbarum Polysaccharide, LBP)对LSCs体外增殖的影响，为中药体外培养LSCs的研究提供实验资料。 方法体外分离和培养LSCs，显微镜观察LSCs的细胞形态特征，通过免疫荧光检测转录因子p63初步鉴定大鼠LSCs；分对照组和枸杞多糖处理组，每组20例，免疫印迹检测增殖细胞核抗原(Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen, PCNA)，初步探讨枸杞多糖对LSCs的增殖影响。 结果镜下观察LSCs体积小，呈多边形或椭圆形，胞核较大，核质比例大，免疫荧光结果显示体外分离的LSCs可表达p63(阳性率为76.41±1.66%)；枸杞多糖处理后LSCs的PCNA蛋白的表达水平高于对照组，并且随着枸杞多糖浓度的增加，PCNA蛋白的表达升高(P<0.05)。 结论枸杞多糖对LSCs的增殖和生长具有促进和维持的作用。     

新型冠状病毒肺炎无症状感染相关研究进展

我国新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情逐步控制，当下对无症状感染者的管理和风险评估成为亟待解决的问题。无症状感染者主要通过密切接触者筛查、聚集性疫情调查、传染源追踪调查、对部分人员开展主动检测等途径发现。目前关于无症状感染者造成疾病传播的风险研究有限，并且缺乏大规模社区人群无症状感染者分布的数据支持。以核酸检测为主要手段的病原学检测适用于已发现的确诊病例和无症状感染者密切接触者等重点人群筛查，应及早开始；而抗体检测更适用于传染来源不明的一般人群中无症状感染者的筛查。对无症状感染者的管理，目前按照“早发现、早报告、早隔离、早治疗”的要求，严格集中隔离和医学观察。     

横断面研究能否进行因果推断

基于变量调查(或测量)的共时性、统计学关联及幸存者偏倚等原因,横断面研究被认为不能进行因果推断,这是当前的"共识"。本文基于因果思维,借助因果图,首先明确定义真实截面和测量截面,并识别截面概念仅存在于理论的特性。实际横断面研究中,测量变量的共时性并不存在,而是无一例外地表现为非共时性时序,其实质上相当于测量变量间互为独立性假设,或不存在有差别错分偏倚。类似于累积病例对照研究和历史性队列研究,横断面研究均为暴露和结局已存在或发生后进行的测量,这种测量相当于对变量值的历史重建或"考古"。这类研究进行因果推断的共性前提条件之一是,测量变量与其历史变量间必须存在着因果律。测量变量均为真实变量的替代者,测量变量间的时序在因果推断上并不重要。应加强对横断面研究分析性角色的认识。     

Advantages of Anti-Inflammatory Acupuncture in Treating Sepsis of Coronavirus Disease 2019

Background: Sepsisis one of the mostserious complications and a leading cause of death in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In general, it isthe result of an unregulated inflammatory cascade such as a postinfection “cytokine storm.” The conventional treatment mainly relies on glucocorticoids, of which curative effects are not ideal, as they come with significant side effects. It is critical to seek or develop other effective therapeutics in dealing cytokine storm to fight COVID-19 with sepsis. Aims and Objectives: Raise awareness of the significance applying anti-inflammatory acupuncture in dealing COVID-19 patients with sepsis and provide an appropriate acupuncture protocol that can be easily integrated into existing medical guideline. Materials and Methods: Current evidences from animal experiments and clinical trials about acupuncture in treating infectious sepsis are reviewed, and a detailed discussion on advantages of anti?inflammatory acupuncture is followed, then the rationality on the point selection and stimulation parameters of acupuncture is analyzed to propose an appropriate acupuncture protocol. Results: Current experiments have shown that acupuncture can play a significant role to improve inflammation reaction and reduce mortality in infectious animal and patients with sepsis and its mechanisms are mainly achieved by stimulating the vagus?cholinergic anti?inflammatory pathways.Applying acupuncture in treating COVID-19 patients with sepsis hasfour aspects of advantages. Moreover, a simple and convenient clinical acupuncture protocol including point selection and appropriate stimulation parameters is proposed. Conclusion: Acupuncture, especially electroacupuncture, has shown potentials in effectively treating infectious sepsis of animal models and critically ill patients in small sample studies by stimulating the nervous system, but has been largely overlooked in the clinic so far. It is advised that acupuncture should be integrated into the existing medical guidelines in dealing with COVID-19 complicated with sepsis.

目的:探讨肛肠疾病手术前后肛管直肠压力测定的应用。方法:将2018年5月-2019年5月在上海市松江区方塔中医医院及上海中医药大学附属曙光医院肛肠科行手术治疗的826例肛肠疾病患者作为研究对象,其中,选择性痔上黏膜吻合术246例、单纯外剥内扎术115例、外剥内扎结合内痔套扎术(Automatic Ligation of Hemorrhoids,RPH)153例、低位肛瘘切除术177例、高位肛瘘切开挂线术135例,分别于术前及术后1个月测定肛管直肠压力。结果:选择性痔上黏膜吻合术后直肠静息压、肛管静息压明显低于术前,肛管舒张压高于术前(P<0.05),但肛管最大收缩压与术前相比无明显差异(P>0.05);单纯外剥内扎术术后直肠静息压、肛管静息压明显低于术前,肛管舒张压、肛管最大收缩压明显高于术前(P<0.05);外剥内扎结合内痔套扎术术后直肠静息压、肛管静息压明显低于术前,肛管舒张压、肛管最大收缩压明显高于术前(P<0.05);低位肛瘘切除术术后直肠静息压、肛管静息压、肛管舒张压均高于术前(P<0.05),而肛管最大收缩压与术前相比无明显差异(P>0.05);高位肛瘘切开挂线术术后直肠静息压高于术前,肛管静息压、肛管舒张压低于术前(P<0.05),而与肛管最大收缩压术前相比无明显差异(P>0.05)。结论:肛肠疾病手术前后肛管直肠压力测定的应用效果显著,能准确判断手术效果及患者恢复情况,为医师的进一步诊治奠定了良好基础。
