Objective To investigate the Du moxibustion therapy in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,COPD)at stable phase.Methods 60 cases of lung COPD patients in stable stage who received treatment from January to December 2010 in Taihe Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine outpatient were randomly divided into two groups in,according to the case of tail number,with 30 patients in each.The control group was taken oral doxofylline tablets,0.2 g/time,2 time/d and ambroxol hydrochloride,30 mg/time,3 time/d.The treatment group was treated with Du moxibustion two times on the basis of the control group.One year follow-up and pulmonary function and BODE index assessment were performed in each group.Results ① the pulmonary function of the treatment group after the treatment (65.58±7.90) ％ was significantly improved than the same group before the treatment (53.20± 7.37) ％ (P＜0.05),and had significant difference compared with the control group after the treatment (57.53 ± 7.22)％ (P＜0.05).The recurrence rate was significantly different in the treatment group (1.79±0.32) and the control group (2.09±0.38) (P＜0.05).② BMI,MMRC,6MWD,BODE index,shortness of breath,wheezing,anorexia was significantly improved after the treatment in the treatment group [after treatment were (21.98 ± 1.32)kg/m2,(2.09±0.37)％,(350.68±88.70),(3.82±2.18) meters,(0.38±0.27),(0.32±0.25)％,(0.35±0.27) respectively; before treatment were (18.21±2.49)kg/m2,(2.50±0.43)％,(324.88±70.92),(4.66±1.40) meters,(1.49±0.62) ％,(1.42±0.56)％,(1.77±0.35),P＜0.01 respecitively].Compared with the control treatment after the treatment [(18.20 ± 1.79) kg/m2,(2.36 ± 0.64) ％,(320.03 ± 68.53),(4.43 ±1.62) meters,(1.22± 0.71),(1.28±0.67)％,(1.73±0.24) respectively] (P＞0.01),the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.01).Conclusion Du moxibustion therapy was effective in treating chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases in stable phase.

Objective To explore the operation of C-type osteotomy for reduction of prominent zygomatic complex. Methods Based on the severity and characteristics of prominent zygomaitc complex, Ctype osteotomy was designed for the malar complex reduction by using oral and minor pre-auricular approaches under general anaesthesia. Two paralleled osteotomic lines of C-type were marked from zygomatic alveola to the conjunction of lateral orbital margin and zygomatic arch through the inferio-lateral edge of orbit. The extension of zygomatic arch reduction was determined the width of two osteotomic lines. The bone which marked lines was removed by reciprocating saw and osteotome. The zygomatic arch root was osteotomiced by pre-auricular approaches. Then, the zygomatic complex could move freely towards superior-medial position. Finally, the zygoma was fixed with titanium mini-plates. Results 12 patients with prominent zygomatic complex had been successfully operated by C-type osteotomy from July 2006 to April 2009. Of them, six cases were symmetrical and six cases were unsymmetrical. Postoperative follow-up for 4-24 months, infection was not occurred, and the scar of pre-auricular incision was not obvious. All the patients obtained positive results. Conclusion C-type osteotomy for correction of prominent zygomtic complex through intra-oral and minor pre-auricular approach is an effective surgical method and gives superior results. It preserves the intactness of maxillary sinus, prevents facial slack, and is especially effective for patients with prominent zygomatic arch.

In recent years, the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has risen year by year, leading to a high mortality rate. At present, surgical treatment is the major cure for HCC, and in general, HCC is diagnosed at late stages. Due to the heterogeneity of HCC and different sensitivities to drugs, the treatment efficacy of advanced HCC is poor. In this paper, we retrospectively analyzed the prog-ress of HCC treatments and reviewed important progression, which provides new view for the clinical improvement of the total surviv-al of patients with HCC.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of flavanomarein on the transcriptome of small intestinal organoids in insulin-resistant mice. MethodFirstly， small intestinal organoids of C57BL/6J and db/db mice were established. Ki-67 and E-cadherin expression was determined by immunofluorescence. Small intestinal organoids were divided into the following three groups： C57BL/6J mouse small intestinal organoids as the normal control group， db/db mouse small intestinal organoids as the model group （IR group）， and db/db mouse small intestinal organoids treated with flavanomarein as the administration group （FM group）. Western blot was used to detect the expression of glucagon-like peptide-1（GLP-1） protein on the small intestinal organoids of the three groups. Finally， transcriptome sequencing was performed on samples from the three groups. ResultOn the 6^th day of small intestine organoids culture， a cyclic structure was formed around the lumen， and a small intestine organoids culture model was preliminarily established. Immunofluorescence detection showed that ki-67 and E-cadherin were expressed in small intestinal organoids. Western blot results showed that the expression of GLP-1 protein was increased by flavanomarein. In the results of differential expressed gene （DEG） screening， there were 1 862 DEGs in the IR group as compared with the normal control group， and 2 282 DEGs in the FM group as compared with the IR group. Through protein-protein interaction（PPI） network analysis of the DEGs of the two groups， 10 Hub genes， including Nr1i3， Cyp2c44， Ugt2b1， Gsta1， Gstm2， Ptgs1， Gstm4， Cyp2c38， Cyp4a32， and Gpx3， were obtained. These genes were highly expressed in the normal control group， and their expression was reduced in the IR group. After the intervention of flavanomarein， the expression of the above genes was reversed. ConclusionFlavanomarein may play its role in improving insulin resistance by reversing the expression levels of 10 Hub genes， including Nr1i3， Cyp2c44， Ugt2b1， Gsta1， Gstm2， Ptgs1， Gstm4， Cyp2c38， Cyp4a32， and Gpx3.
