[Effect of wrist-ankle acupuncture on the expression of glutamate and NMDA receptor of the spinal dorsal horn in rats with neuropathic pain].

Objective: To observe the effect of wrist-ankle acupuncture (WA) stimulation at "R"- "R" - "R" on the expression of glutamate (Glu) and phosphorylated protein NMDAR1(p-NMDAR1) of the spinal dorsal horn in spared nerve injury (SNI) rats, so as to explore its mechanism underlying improvement of SNI.

Methods: A total of 36 SD rats were randomly divi-ded into sham operation, model and WA groups, with 12 rats in each group. The SNI procedure comprised an axotomy and ligation of the tibial and common peroneal nerves leaving the sural nerve intact.

[Clinical significance of D-dimer activity in thrombosis of patients with return of spontaneous circulation after cardiopulmonary resuscitation].

Objective: To investigate the clinical significance of D-dimer contents in peripheral blood for monitoring the efficacy of thrombolytic therapy in patients with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) cardiopulmonary resuscitation after cardiac arrest.

Methods: Forty-seven patients with sudden cardiac arrest received CPR according to 2005 American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines for CPR and emergency cardiovascular care (ECC). At the early stage of ROSC, those patients underwent head and breast CT scan if they were in a state of unconsciousness and had unstable vital signs.
