Effect of superficial cervical plexus nerve block with Ropivacaine or a combination of different adjuvants on perioperative analgesia and quality of postoperative recovery in patients undergoing radical thyroid cancer surgery under general anesthesia: a prospective randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided bilateral superficial cervical plexus nerve blocks with Ropivacaine or a combination of different adjuvants on perioperative analgesia and quality of postoperative recovery in patients undergoing radical thyroid cancer surgery under general anesthesia with nerve monitoring without muscarinic maintenance.

Methods: A total of 140 patients undergoing elective radical thyroid cancer surgery were randomly divided into four groups, with 35 cases in each group: general anesthesia alone group (Group C), general anesthesia + Ropivacaine group (Group R), general anesthesia + Ropivacaine combined with dexmedetomidine group (Group R1), and general anesthesia + Ropivacaine combined with dexamethasone group (Group R2). The primary observation index were postoperative resting and active Visual Analogue Score.

[Professor 's experience in the treatment of syndrome with fire needling therapy at lower -sea points].

syndrome is classified into five categories. Based on the syndrome differentiation of meridians and collaterals and theories, Professor proposed the fire needling therapy at the lower -sea points for five types of syndromes. Professor stresses on the flexible application of fire needling therapy for syndrome at the lower -sea points and innovated the unique five techniques of fire needling therapy, named lifting and threating needle of small amplitude at the lower -sea points, the stimulation along the relevant meri-dians before fire needling, detecting the sensitive sites by gentle pressing the relevant lower -sea points, combining the movement of affected upper limb or joint during fire needling, or combining with contralateral needling technique, and controlling the depth of fire needling based on the duration of sickness and depth of affected site.

[Study on the impacts of different time of moxibustion on regulating lipid effects of hyperlipidemia].

Objective: To observe the impacts of different time of moxibustion on its regulating lipid effects and safety of hyperlipidemia.

Methods: Seventy-six cases of hyperlipidemia patients were randomly divided into three groups: including moxibustion 10 min group (group A, 25 cases), moxibustion 20 min group (group B, 25 cases) and moxibustion 30 min group (group C, 26 cases). All of these three groups choose the same acupoints, Shenque (CV 8),Zusanli (ST 36), Fenglong (ST 40) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6) were selected.

Clinical observation on the effects of electroacupuncture at Shaoze (SI 1) in 46 cases of postpartum insufficient lactation.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical therapeutic effects of electroacupuncture at Shaoze (SI 1) for insufficient lactation after delivery, and further study the influence of this method on the different types of syndromes and on such patients of different ages.

Methods: The 92 cases of postpartum insufficient lactation were randomly divided into the treatment group (46 cases) and the control group (46 cases). The former was treated by electroacupuncture at bilateral Shaoze (SI 1), and the latter by electroacupuncture at bilateral Shangyang (LI 1).
