Objective Overview on risks of acupuncture-related adverse events (AEs). Design Systematic review and meta-analyses of prospective studies. Data sources PubMed, Scopus and Embase from inception date to 15 September 2019. Eligibility criteria for selecting studies Prospective studies assessing AEs caused by needle acupuncture in humans as primary outcome published in English or German. Data extraction and synthesis Two independent researchers selected articles, extracted the data and assessed study quality. Overall risks and risks for different AE categories were obtained from random effects meta-analyses. Main outcomes Overall risk of minor AEs and serious adverse events (SAEs) per patients and per treatments. Results A total of 7679 publications were identified. Twenty-two articles reporting on 21 studies were included. Meta-analyses suggest at least one AE occurring in 9.31% (95% CI 5.10% to 14.62%, 11 studies) of patients undergoing an acupuncture series and in 7.57% (95% CI 1.43% to 17.95%, 5 studies) of treatments. Summary risk estimates for SAEs were 1.01 (95% CI 0.23 to 2.33, 11 studies) per 10 000 patients and 7.98 (95% CI 1.39 to 20.00, 14 studies) per one million treatments, for AEs requiring treatment 1.14 (95% CI 0.00 to 7.37, 8 studies) per 1000 patients. Heterogeneity was substantial (I-2 >80%). On average, 9.4 AEs occurred in 100 treatments. Half of the AEs were bleeding, pain or flare at the needle site that are argued to represent intended acupuncture reaction. AE definitions and assessments varied largely. Conclusion Acupuncture can be considered among the safer treatments in medicine. SAEs are rare, and the most common minor AEs are very mild. AEs requiring medical management are uncommon but necessitate medical competence to assure patient safety. Clinical and methodological heterogeneity call for standardised AE assessments tools, clear criteria for differentiating acupuncture-related AEs from therapeutically desired reactions, and identification of patient-related risk factors for AEs.

目的:通过构建基于社会责任的传染病医院可持续发展评价指标体系,指导传染病医院履行社会责任,加强社会责任管理,促进传染病医院可持续发展.方法:结合德尔菲法和层次分析法,建立指标体系,明确指标权重,并对全国范围内17所传染病医院问卷调查,开展实证分析.结果:17所医院核心利益相关方是政府、患者和员工;医院具有社会责任动机,但重视程度仍不够高;社会责任资金、人员、部门保障仍需加强,且缺少专门的评价指标;对参与政府社会责任项目积极性高;大部分医院都主动满足患者的需求,积极履行社会责任;对员工目前仅履行常规责任,仍有较大提升空间;对社区履行社会责任的主要方式是志愿者活动;在环境保护方面履行着基本的社会责任.结论:该指标体系能够真实反映传染病医院履行社会责任的总体情况.总体上,政府部门在传染病医院社会责任履行中发挥极大作用;传染病医院社会责任管理的系统性、规范性仍需加强,社会责任产出效益有待进一步提升.
Background Individuals with sub-syndromal depression (SSD) are at increased risk of incident depressive disorders; however, the ideal therapeutic approach to SSD remains unknown. Objective To evaluate the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), alone or in combination, on depressive symptoms. Methods Undergraduate students with SSD were recruited and allocated to one of four groups based on their preferences: EA (n=6), CBT (n=10), EA+CBT (n=6), and untreated control (n=11) groups. Six weeks of treatment were provided in the first three groups. Clinical outcomes were measured using the 17-item Hamilton Depression (HAMD-17) rating scale, Center for Epidemiologic Depression (CES-D) scale, WHO Quality of Life-Brief version (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire, and clinical remission rate. Results All 33 subjects were included in an intent-to-treat analysis. Statistically significant improvements in HAMD-17, CES-D, and WHOQOL-BREF scores and a higher remission rate were found in the EA, CBT, and EA+CBT intervention groups compared with the control group (all p<0.05). No significant differences were found between the three intervention groups. HAMD-17 factor score analysis revealed that EA reduced sleep disturbance scores more than CBT or EA+CBT (p<0.05), and CBT reduced retardation scores more than EA (p<0.01). EA+CBT reduced anxiety/somatisation scores more than EA or CBT (p<0.05) and retardation scores more than EA (p<0.05). Conclusions Early intervention may alleviate depressive symptoms in SSD. EA and CBT may have differential effects on certain symptoms. Combination therapy targeting both physical and psychological symptoms may represent an ideal strategy for SSD intervention. However, randomised trials with larger sample sizes are needed. Trial Registration Number ChiCTR-TRC-10000889; Results.

Purpose: To evaluate therapeutic effects of early interventions and compare advantages of Electro-acupuncture (EA), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and their combination therapy in ameliorating depressive symptoms. Methods: 33 subjects in depressive status, included via Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 (HDRS-17) and Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI), were assigned into 4 groups depending on their intentions, EA group (6 cases), CBT group (10 cases), combination of EA and CBT group (6 cases) and observation group (11 cases). Intention To Treat (ITT) analysis and Per Protocol (PP) analysis were employed to evaluate primary outcome measures (clinical response rate based on rate of HDRS-17 score changes, clinical remission defined as an endpoint HDRS-17 score 0.05). Conclusion: Early interventions could alleviate depressive symptoms. EA improve somatic symptoms and insomnia while CBT favors mitigating cognition and mood dysfunction. The combination therapy targeting both physical and psychological symptoms might be an ideal strategy for depressive status intervention. Contact: Tianwei Guo, guotianwei tcm@126.com
Objective To study the correlation between NEO five-factor inventory( NEO-FFI) and center for epidemiologic studies depression scale( CES-D) of community residents in Beijing. Methods NEO-FFI and CES-D were used to measure the 15 communities in Beijing and the scores were analyzed. Results 1The depression was related to neuroticism,agreeableness,extraversion and conscientiousness; 2The different scale of depression status was related to neuroticism,extraversion and openness; 3Neuroticism had the closest connection with the score of CES-D( r = 0. 716,p 0. 01). Conclusion CES-D and NEO-FFI can be used to evaluate the depressive state in order to enhance the early identification and intervention of depression.
The clinical effect of electroacupuncture on depression is widely recognized. However, the signal transduction pathways and target proteins involved remain unclear. In the present study, rat models of chronic restraint stress were used to explore the mechanism by which electroacupuncture alleviates depression. Rats were randomly divided into control, model, and electroacupuncture groups. Chronic restraint stress was induced in the model and electroacupuncture groups by restraining rats for 28 days. In the electroacupuncture group, electroacupuncture pretreatment at Baihui (GV20) and Yintang (GV29) acupoints was performed daily (1 mA, 2 Hz, discontinuous wave, 20 minutes) prior to restraint for 28 days. Open field tests and body weight measurements were carried out to evaluate the depressive symptoms at specific time points. On day 28, the crossing number, rearing number, and body weights of the model group were significantly lower than those in the control group. Behavior test results indicated that rat models of depressive-like symptoms were successfully established by chronic restraint stress combined with solitary raising. On day 28, an isobaric tag for a relative and absolute quantitation-based quantitative proteomic approach was performed to identify differentially expressed proteins in hippocampal samples obtained from the model and electroacupuncture groups. The potential function of these differential proteins was predicted through the use of the Cluster of Orthologous Groups of proteins (COG) database. Twenty-seven differential proteins (uncharacteristic proteins expected) were selected from the model and electroacupuncture groups. In addition to unknown protein functions, COG are mainly concentrated in general prediction function, mechanism of signal transduction, amino acid transport and metabolism groups. This suggests that electroacupuncture improved depressive-like symptoms by regulating differential proteins, and most of these related proteins exist in nerve cells.
Objective To study the effect of acupuncture on alleviating side effect of paroxetine and improving quality of life in treating mild or moderate depression.Methods A randomized controlled clinical trial was performed.Inpatients and outpatients with depression (n =72) were randomly divided into electro-acupuncture (EA) and paroxetine group (group A,n =23),manual acupuncture and paroxetine group (group B,n=32) and paroxetine alone group (group C,n=17).Outcome was assessed with Hamilton depression scale(HAMD) at baseline and weeks 1,2,4,and 6.Side effects were assessed with rating scale for side effects(SERS) at baseline and weeks 2,4,and 6.The world health organization quality of life(WHOQOL-BREF) scale on quality of life was given at baseline and week 6.Results There were no differences among the three groups at baseline (P>0.05).Accorling to the HAMD scores,significant difference was seen between group A and C (Z =3.2242,P<0.05),and also between group B and C(Z =L6224,P<0.05).No significant difference was found between the two acupuncture groups (P>0.05).SERS scores in the acupuncture groups were significantly lower than those for paroxetine alone at weeks 2(F=5.48,P<0.05),week 4(F=7.70,P<0.05),and week 6 (F=7.73,P<0.05).WHOQOL-BREF scores were significantly higher in the two acupuncture groups than those in the paroxetine only group in five periods,which were total subjective feelings regarding quality of life (F=4.19,P<0.05),health sensation(F=4.49,P<0.05),physical condition(F=12.46,P<0.05),psychology condition (F=10.52,P<0.05) and circumstances (F=5.36,P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture can alleviate side effect of paroxetine and improve quality of life in treating mild or moderate depression.
[Objective]To analyze the emotion status and quality of life among different occupational grups in Beijing,find the commonness and differences,and give advices for the maintenance of mental health and living quality. [Methods]State owned enterprise( SOE) workers,company employees and migrant workers were randomly sampled to receive questionnaire survey consisted of Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression( CES-D),World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF( WHOQOL-BREF) and personal information form. [Results〗]Mean scores of CES-D in SOE workers,company employees and migrant workers were15. 5 ± 9. 4,11. 8 ± 8. 3,8. 3 ± 7. 4 respectively,and the difference was statistically significant( F = 65. 91,P 0. 01). Quality of life scores of respondents in depression group( CES-D≥16) were remarkably lower than those in non-depression group among all three groups( t =-2. 62 ~-10. 70,P 0. 01). Migrant workers exhibited higher scores than SOE workers and company employees in overall quality of life,general health and all domain scores of WHOQOL-BREF,SOE workers showed lowest scores in all aspects. The differences were all statistically significant( F = 33. 33 ~ 2365. 64,P 0. 01). [Conclusion]Migrant workers and company employees show favorable emotion status and quality of life,while SOE workers suffer from a higher rate of depressive state and poor assessment of quality of life. Depressive emotions exert negative effects on quality of life in occupational groups. Relevant departments should take corresponding measures based on varied characteristics of occupational groups.
Objective To analyze correlations between personality traits,life events and depressive symptoms based on structural equation model and to identify risky factors of depressive symptoms.Methods Using stratified random cluster sampling method,industrial workers recruited from Shougang Qianan corporation received questionnaire survey consisted of LES,NEO-FFI and CES-D.Maximum likelihood method was applied to calculate parameters of structural equation model,then the final model was confirmed based on modification indices.Results Depressive symptom(CES-D ≥ 16) prevalence was 41.05% among industrial workers in current study.Neuroticism,extraversion,agreeableness and negative life events were significantly predictive to depressive symptoms (r=0.356,-0.304,-0.135,0.227).Positive and negative life events,neuroticism and extraversion,extraversion and conscientiousness,neuroticism and agreeableness presented high correlation,with coefficients 0.614,-0.469,0.432 and 0.402 respectively.The regression weight of affective symptoms,somatic symptoms and interpersonal relationship in measurement model were 0.779,0.678,0.464.Conclusion The onset of depressive symptoms among industrial workers is remarkably related to neuroticism,extraversion,agreeableness and negative life events.Certain measures are supposed to be conducted for mental nursing and intervention in order to strengthen depression prevention.
