RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the usefulness of narrow-band imaging with magnification in differentiating colorectal lesions, and assess for a learning curve, to gave help for the clinician, who want to carry out the technique. Method We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 289 patients who underwent NBI combined with magnification by four endoscopic physician, from June, 2015 to June, 2016, all the lesions were biopsied, endoscopic treatment or postoperative pathology and pathological examination, and the Sano classification control. All lesions were divided into three groups according to the NBI combined with magnifying endoscopy, these three sets included both lesions requiring endoscopic treatment (e.g. target lesions) and lesions that were not, or could not be, treated by endoscopy (e.g. nontarget lesions). Each physician examined the target or non-target lesion reached 15 cases as a group. By assessing the diagnostic accuracy of the four physicians for each group of lesions, an associated learning curve of NBI combined with magnifying endoscopy was developed. Result In 289 patients, 372 lesions were found by colonoscopy. NBI combined with magnifying endoscopy was 95.1%, 98.0% and 92.0%, respectively, in the identification of tumor and non-neoplastic lesions. The accuracy of the diagnosis of target and non-target lesions was significantly higher in group 2 than in group 1 [81.7% vs 95.1% (P = 0.010) and 71.7% vs 93.4% (P = 0.000)]. There was no significant difference in the diagnostic accuracy between group 2 and group 3 (P = 0.984 and P = 0.117). Conclusion It is very useful to use narrow-band imaging and Sano CP analysis in the differential diagnosis of colorectal lesions. The endoscopists who had never used NBI or no knowledge of NBI can have effective and stable diagnostic accuracy after using NBI with magnification to diagnose 15 target and non-target lesions respectively.

RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical therapeutic effect of moxibustion on heat-sensitive acupoints on myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). METHODS: Three-centre, single blind, randomized controlled trial method was adopted. One hundred and seven cases were randomly divided into an observation group (n = 57), and a control group (n = 50). The observation group were treated by moxibustion on the heat-sensitive acupoints and the control group by acupuncture, cupping and TDP. The therapeutic effects were assessed according to changes of the score of the short-form of McGill pain questionnaire composing of pain rating index (PRI), visual analogue scale (VAS) and present pain intensity (PPI) before and after treatment. RESULTS: The cured rate of 86.0% in the observation group was better than 24.0% in the control group. After treatment, the score of PRI, VAS, PPI indexes significantly improved in the observation group (P < 0.001), and were significantly better than those in the control group (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Moxibustion on the heat-sensitive acupoints has a high therapeutic effect on MPS.
