[Effects of acupuncture plus acupoint sticking on bone mass density and pain in the patient of primary osteoporosis].

OBJECTIVE: To observe effects of acupuncture plus acupoint sticking of Migudan on bone mass density (BMD) and pain in the patient of primary osteoporosis. METHODS: By computer random number generating method, the patients were randomly divided into a treatment group treated with acupuncture plus acupoint sticking of Migudan, and a control group treated with Gaitianli, 48 cases in each group. Changes of their BMD and cumulative scores of pain after treatment were investigated. RESULTS: Acupuncture plus acupoint sticking of Migudan could relieve cumulative score of bone pain in the patient of primary osteoporosis as compared with the control group (P 0.01), with 95% CI= 4.05 to approximately 4. 31 points; acupuncture plus acupoint sticking of Migudan could increase significantly BMD in the patients as compared with the control group (P < 0.05), L2 to approximately L4 BMD 95% CI = 0.029 to approximately 0.073 g/cm2, the neck of femur BMD 95% CI = 0.013 to approximately 0.047 g/cm2. CONCLUSION: Acupuncture plus acupoint sticking of Migudan has definite therapeutic effect on primary osteoporosis.

[Effects of acupoint-injection of Kaixilai on TG, TC, MDA, SOD, AST and ALT in the patient of non-alcoholic fatty liver].

OBJECTIVE: To observe therapeutic effect of acupoint-injection of Kaixilai on non-alcoholic fatty liver. METHODS: One hundred cases of non-alcoholic fatty liver were randomly divided into a test group and a control group, 50 cases in each group. The test group were treated with injection of 2 mL Kaixilai injection into Zusanli (ST 36), thrice each week, for 3 months; and the control group were treated with intravenous drip of 200 mL Kaixilai injection, once each day, for 3 months. Changes of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), malondialhyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (AST), glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (ALT), and clinical symptoms were observed in the two groups. RESULTS: There were significant differences before and after treatment in the symptoms, TG, TC, MDA, SOD, AST and ALT in the two groups (P<0.05), with no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Acupoint-injection of Kaixilai is an effective therapy for non-alcoholic fatty liver, with convenience, economic and no adverse effect.

[Choice experiment method and its application to solid waste management in Macao].

Economic valuation of environmental goods or services has been becoming a research frontier and hotspot of environmental economics in the world. Choice experiment (CE) is a relatively new method that can be used to value the economic benefits of environmental goods or services. This paper reports an attempt to apply the CE method in Macao that aimed to understand Macao residents' preferences for solid waste management programs. A random sample survey of 260 respondents in Macao was conducted during the summer in 2004. Survey data was analyzed using multinomial logit models. Results from 260 in-person interviews indicate that Macao residents preferred waste segregation and recycling at source and noise reduction during waste collection and transportation. The study concludes that CE is a reliable tool in the analysis of respondents' preferences for the development of suitable solid waste management programs in Macao.
