Objective To observe the efficacy of treatment of cirrhosis ascites with integrated traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine. Methods All patients were randomly divided into a treatment group (27 cases) and a control group (25 cases). Patients in the treatment group were treated with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine, while patients in the control group were treated with western conventional therapy. Resulta The total effective rate in the treatment group was 96.3%, showing significant difference (P＜0. 05) contrasting 72% in the control group. Conclusion It is effective that treating cirrhosis ascites with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine.

Fracture healing consists of four stages: hematoma and inflammation, granulation tissue formation, membranous and endochondral ossification, and remodeling. During these stages, the pathological changes are continuous and overlapping and numerous inflammatory factors and growth factors play a central role in the tissue regeneration and ossification. The fracture will eventually reach primary bone healing or callus healing depending on the stability of fracture site after treatment. The delayed union and nonunion can be assessed according to the treatment time, clinical examination, radiology and biomechanical testing. It is important to understand the differences between hypertropic and atrophic nonunions and the reasons that lead to nonunion. At last, methods to promote fracture healing are summarized and classified into four groups: biological, systemic, mechanical and biophysical ones.

Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) is still an emergent situation in traumatic orthopaedics. Its pathophysiologic mechanism and treatment principles have already been recognized and established widely. The main factors which affect the prognosis are early diagnosis and timing of surgical treatment. This review analyzes the methods of clinical and instrumental diagnosis,rectifies some misunderstandings in clinical evaluation and makes suggestions on appropriate monitoring.

This paper is to study the inhibitory effect of water soluble polymers--methyl cellulose (MC), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC-M), poloxamer (F68) and polyvidon (PVP) on osthole (OST) crystallization and investigate the impact of polymer concentration and viscosity on crystallization behavior. Also, UV spectrophotometry method was used to determine the drug concentration at different time point to draw the OST concentration-time curve. Results show that HPMC has the most significant inhibition effect on OST crystallization, and drug concentration level is 1.61 times higher than that in control solution within 8 h followed by PVP (1.54) and MC (1.45) respectively. The kinetics of OST recrystallization can be described using first-order reaction, and the crystallization rate constants obtained by analyzing the regression equation indicate that HPMC-60SH-4000 and HPMC-60SH-10000 can greatly influence OST crystal formation. The dissolution rate of drugs precipitated from water-soluble polymer solutions is faster compared with controls in pH 1.2 HCl and pH 6.8 phosphate buffers, which demonstrated that water-soluble polymers can not only change the behavior of drug crystallization but markedly improve the dissolution rate of water insoluble drugs.

ObjectiveTo study the influence of psychological intervention on anxiety and de-pression of patients before Mammotome minimally invasive biopsy system in resection of benign breast lump. Methods120 patients with breast lumps were divided into the experimental group and the control group with 60 cases in each group. The psychological intervention was used in the experimental group be-fore the surgery, including psychological cognition, psychological guidance and support, family support, etc,and the routine nursing care was given to the control group. SDS and SAS were used to evaluate the psy-chological state of the two groups before surgery using χ2 test. ResultsThe anxiety and depression score in the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group. ConclusionsThe psy-chological intervention before Mammotome minimally invasive biopsy system in resection of benign breast lump can effectively ameliorate the anxiety and depression of patients.

Objective To assess the prevalence and impacts of premenstrual syndrome on female college students,and to provide scientific basis for health education. Methods In the cross-sectional study, a total of 900 female college students from three universities in Jinzhou city were investigated.The data were compiled using the questionnaire of Premenstrual Syndrome Scale by John Bancroft and the general information questionnaire.Results A total of 856 questionnaires were valid among the 900,the validity rate was 95.11%. Premenstrual syndrome was diagnosed in 32.7%(280/856)of all cases,distributed as 22.7%(194/856)mild,7.9%(68/856)moderate and 2.1%(18/856)severe. Binary Logistic regression analysis revealed that premenstrual syndrome was significantly associated with bad sleep condition, animal fat intake, yolk food intake, dysmenorrhea, early age at menarche. Conclusions The results showed that premenstrual syndrome is prevalent among female college students and that life style and nutritional factors may play an important role in this disorder. Therefore,health education and counseling services,as part of the overall health service,should be availed and provided to affected women.

Fulminant myocarditis (FM)is a clinical accidant and emergency,and often endenger the lives of patients.Myocardium damage by virus infection and immune-mediated cellular damage are important for the development of FM.This paper discussed the role of the immune system in the FM,involving cellular immunity,humoral immunity and cytokine.Also this paper discussed the treatment of FM about the immunol-oregulation and immunosuppression.
