OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic efficacy and ADR of oral administration and external application of Qili san in the treatment of trauma-induced swelling and pain. METHODS:70 traumatic patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group with 35 patients in each group. Treatment group was given Qili san(1.5 g/time,2 times/d)orally,and ap-plied to affected area(blended with 75% alcohol to make paste,1 time/d);control group was only given Qili san(1.5 g/time,2 times/d) orally;a treatment course lasted for 7 d. Pain degree score,pain duration,swelling degree score and improvement rate, total effective rate and ADR were compared between 2 groups before and after treatment. RESULTS:Compared with before treat-ment,pain degree score,pain duration and swelling degree score of 2 groups were decreased after treatment;there was statistical significance(P<0.01 or P<0.05);clinical symptom of treatment group was better than that of control group;there was statistical significance(P<0.01 or P<0.05). There was statistically significant difference in the improvement rate of swelling and total effec-tive rate between 2 groups after treatment(P<0.01 or P<0.05). No obvious ADR was found during treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Oral administration and external application of Qili san is safe and effective for trauma-induced swelling and pain,and its therapeu-tic efficacy is better than only oral administration.

Forty-three children with congenital hypothyroidism(CH)underwent 99mTc thyroid scintigraphy, after being followed up by receiving levothyroxine till 2 to 3 years of age. The results showed that thyroid agenesia happened in 37 cases( 86.05% ) while entopic gland in 6 cases (13.95% ). Thyroid scintigraphy with 99mTc is an informative procedure in determining etiology and treatment schedules for children with CH.
