ObjectiveTo investigate the clinicalefficacy of warm needling plus Chinese herb fumigation in treating plantar fasciitis.MethodSixty-one patients with plantar fasciitis were randomly allocated to a treatment group of 31 cases and a control group of 30 cases. The treatment group receivedwarm needling plus Chinese herb fumigation and the control group, warm needling alone.ResultThe total efficacy rate and the cure rate were 100.0% and 61.3%, respectively, in the treatment group and 96.7%and 40.0%, respectively, in the control group. There was no statistically significant difference in the total efficacy rate between the two groups (P>0.05), but the cure rate was significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group and there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference in the VAS score in the two groups (P<0.01), indicating that both the groups had a good analgesic effect. There was a statistically significant post-treatment difference in the VAS score between the treatment and control groups (P<0.01), indicating that theanalgesic effect was better in the treatment group than in the control group.ConclusionThe efficacy of warm needling plus Chinese herb fumigation is better than that of warm needling alone in treating plantar fasciitis.

Premixed insulin is currently the most popular insulin starter in China.According to the different ratios of basal and prandial components,premixed insulin analogues could be classified into low-and midmixtures.The former is now mainly used as insulin starter in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus after the failure of monotherapy or combination with oral antidiabetic drugs,while the later is usually used as simplified intensive insulin treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled on insulin once-or twice-daily.

Pyroptosis is a newly discovered form of programmed cell death, which has a close relationship with infectious diseases and spontaneous inflammatory disease and autoimmune disease.Gasdermin-D is the effector of pyroptosis.Inflammatory caspases cleave Gasdermin-D, break the structural autoinhibition and active the pore-forming activity of Gasdermin-D.Gasdermin-D-N domain is the active form of Gasdermin-D.Oligomerized Gasdermin-D-N domain forms membrane pores.Both pyroptosis and necroptosis can form pores.In this article, the progress of the research on pyroptosis, the involvement of Gasdermin-D in the molecular mechanism of pyroptosis, the distinguishment of pyroptosis from necroptosis and pyroptosis-related diseases are reviewed.

Objective To investigate the intervention of Chinese herb Shengjiang San(SJS)for the imbal-ances of serum Th1/Th2 cells and related regulatory factors in sepsis patients. Methods Fifty-five sepsis patients were randomly divided into two groups:conventional treatment group of 27 cases and SJS group of 28 cases. Nine cases of healthy volunteers were enrolled as control group in the study. Cases of conventional group were treated with western medicine only and cases of SJS group were treated with both western medicine and Chinese herb SJS (100 mL twice one day). The therapy course of both groups was 3 days. Score of Chinese medical syndromes ,se-rum level of leukocyte count,C reactive protein(CRP)and procalcitonin(PCT),serum T-bet,GATA-3,Th1&Th2 cells in the proportion of whole CD4+Th cells and Th1/Th2 ratio were compared respectively in each group be-fore and after treatment. Results There were significant differences between SJS group and conventional group in score of Chinese medical syndromes,serum level of leukocyte count,T-bet,GATA-3,Th1&Th2 cells in the pro-portion of whole CD4+Th cells and Th1/Th2 ratio(P<0.05 or P<0.01). There were no significant differences be-tween the two groups in serum level of CRP,PCT and GATA3. Compared with control group,there were signifi-cant differences in all indicators except GATA3 of the two groups(P<0.01). Conclusion Chinese herb Shengji-ang San has an effective benefits to Chinese medical syndromes,inflammatory reaction,the imbalance of serum Th1/T2 and related regulatory factors(T-bet&GATA-3)in sepsis patients.

Objective To explore the clinical nursing of hip developmental dislocation in infants with Ferguson operation.Method The nursing strategy was performed including observation of the surgical incision,skin care,care of cast and instructions to their parents. Result No pressure sores occurred in all the 34 cases of hip developmental dislocation.1 case had delayed allergy reaction because of use of contrast media during operation,1 cast syndrome,and 19 edema of perineum of different degrees including 6 severe edemata,which were cured using wet compress with Adlerika.Conclusion It is of great importance for the reduced incurrence of operation complications and promising operative effect to observe the conditions and treat timely problems in postoperative nursing.

Objective To explore the expression of angiopoietin like protein-1(Ang-1)and angiopoietin like protein-2(Ang-2)in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)and its relationship with angiopathy.Methods Ang-1,Ang-2,FBG,FINS and HbA1c were meas-ured in 120 cases of T2DM,including 32 cases of macroangiopathy,52 cases of microangiopathy and 36 cases without angiopathy, and 50 healthy subjects with physical examination were selected as the control group.The detection results were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with control group,the Ang-1 level in the T2DM group was no statistical difference(P >0.05), but the Ang-2 level was significantly higher than that in the control group(t=2.6,P <0.01).The Ang-2 level in T2DM with com-plicating angiopathy was significantly higher than that in T2DM without angiopathy and closely correlated with the blood vessel number of angiopathy.The Ang-2 level in T2DM was significantly positively correlated with HOMA-IR and HbA1c(r=0.577 and 0.509,P <0.01),and there was no correlation between the Ang-1 level and HOMA-IR(P >0.05).Conclusion The Ang-2 level in the patients with T2DM is significantly increased,which is closely related with HbA1c and insulin resistance,furthermore Ang-2 may participate in the generation and development of pathogenesis in T2DM.

BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that after bone marrow stem cell transplantation, there are juvenile cells with the episode of myocardial cells around the infarct areas, which was recognized as deriving from bone marrow stem cells.OBJECTIVE: To explore the homing situation of bone marrow stem cells by autologous mobilization around the infarct areas aftar myocardial infarction.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The cytological in vitro study was performed at the China-Japan Clinical Pathology Center, Daliar Medical University from February 2005 to April 2006.MATERIALS: A total of 30 myocardial samples from the autopsy at the Department of Pathology and Forensic Medicine, Dalian Medical University between 2000 and 2005. Fifteen normal samples dyed from the mechanical injuries or craniocerebral injury,without abnormity following autopsy. Fifteen samples in the myocardial infarction group suffered from coronary atherosclerosis and coronary tube stenosis, and died within 10 days after myocardial infarction.METHODS: The autopsy was performed within 48 hours after the death and the tissues were obtained from antedor wall, lateral wall and posterior wall of the left ventricle, and made into tissue sections. We checked the expression of CD34, CD133 and transforming growth factor-β, in the normal area, infarct area and around the infarct area by immunohistochemistry.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The expression of CD34, CD133 and transforming growth factor-β in different areas and the relationship between them.RESULTS: The positive expression of CD34 in infarct area was significantly stronger than that around the infarct area and in normal area (P < 0.01). The positive expression of transforming growth factor-β in infarct area was significantly stronger than that around the infarct area (P < 0.01), and the expression of transforming growth factor-β showed negative reactJon in normal area. The expression of CD34, CD133 and transforming growth factor-β, in infarct areas and around the infarct area was closely related (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: There are the homing of bone marrow hemopoietic stem cells in infarct area and around the infarct ares after myocardial infarction. The increase in transforming growth factor-β in infarct area provides the possibility for the differentiation of the homing stem cells, the following angiogenesis and the regeneration of cardiomyocytes.
