Acupuncture and moxibustion can improve thesymptoms of chronic cholecystitis, alleviate pains of patients, improve the rate of contraction of the gallbladder. It is a kind of safe and effective treatment method, and is worthy of clinical promotion. This paper reviews the progress of cholecystitis treated by acupuncture and moxibustion in recent years from the following aspects: filiform needle,acupuncture and moxibustion, catgut implantation at acupoint, acupoint application, acupoint injection, auricular acupressure and combining therapy.In this paper, we summed up clinical experience of cholecystitis treated by acupuncture and moxibustion, in order to provide reference for clinical therapy and scientific studies.

Cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) often result systemic inflammatory response syndrome.In addition to lipid lowing effects,statins appears to exhibit pleiotropic effects such as antiinflammatory properties,improvement of endothelial dysfunction and reduction of ischemia-reperfusion injury.In this review,the author summarized advances in these respects.

As unrelated allogeneic umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) has been developed for 20 years already since 1988, more than ten thousands cases have cumulatively undergone UCBT over the world. A huge number of clinical data confirmed that UCBT had unique characters with low rate of severe GVHD. The efficacy and data on TRM, relapse and EFS of allogeneic UCBT with HLA 0-1 mismatched are similar to those in HLA matched BMT. UCBT has become the optimal choice for source of hematopoietic stem cells for allogeneic stem cell transplant especially when HLA-matched or haploidentical donors are not available in time. In most developed countries, unrelated allogeneic UCBT developed successively, and in recent years HLA mismatched UCBT with double units performed in adults increased even more rapidly than in children. Another recent trend of UCBT has been extending to treat some non-malignant but refractory diseases in pediatrics, such as severe combined immunodeficiency, thalassemia major, bone marrow failure syndrome and metabolic disorders. The clinical successful practice of double units for cord blood transplantation inspires to ponder over questions remaining mystery. What is the conflict like between two mismatched donor cells in vivo, which does not spoil the whole transplantation but enable the patient to be engrafted successfully without any increment of the dosage by the sum of two doses together? How can they both be taken at the same time firstly by the recipient, but why does only one predominate later? What are the factors enable the donor cells of the winner to sustain? With the references of the international experiences, how to solve the clinical encountered problems, perspective of unrelated allogeneic UCBT and proper strategies to be enacted are reviewed.

Objective To develop a new method to repair the defect after enlarged excision of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.Methods This study included 8 patients with dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans measuring 2.5 to 5.5 cm in diameter.All the patients underwent enlarged excision of the affected skin and subcutaneous tissue.The defect measured 12.5 to 17.5 cm in diameter.Sieve skin flaps secured with a vacuum-assisted closure device were used to repair the huge surface defects.Results All the patients experienced the survival of sieve skin flaps at stage Ⅰ after operation,with no infection,effusion or necrosis.No relapse was observed during the 3 to 40 months of follow up.A satisfactory recovery was achieved in skin appearance and function with the formation of a flat scar,and no obvious proliferation occurred.Conclusion The vacuum-assisted closure device offers a safe and simple method for securing skin grafts to the defect after enlarged excision of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.
