Objective　To explore the therapeutic effect of treatment of uterine leiomyoma with different dosages of mifepristone and the effects of mifepristone on sex hormones.Methods　The patients of uterine leiomyoma were divided into two groups,group A included 45 patients who were mifepristone orally given neoplasma,25mg per day for 3～6 months,group B included 30 patients who took mifepristone 12.5mg per day for 3～6 months.The size of uterus and uterine leicomyoma were detected with type B sonarography and serum sex hormones level were tested with radioimmunoassay before the treatment.Results　Amenorrhea was found during the treatment of two groups and after tree months' the symptoms were improved,the size of uterine leiomyoma in group A was meanly decreased by 52.56% and 61.69% respectively,after six months' treatment;The size of uterine leiomyoma in group B was averagely decreased by 48.61% after three months' treatment and by 52.12% after six months' treatment.There was no significant difference between A and B group after three months' treatment(P＞0.05),But there was significant difference between the two groups after six months' treatment and it dependent on the time of the treatment.Contents of serum estradiol and progestagen of the two groups were droped dwon significantly after treatment(P＜0.01).Conclusions　Mifepristone applied to treat the uterine leiomyoma have definitve therapeutic effect,and less side effects.Therefore,mifepristone provides a new avenue to treat uterine leiomyoma and suggesting its best dosage is 25mg every day.

Objective To evaluate the effects of Qihuangyishen decoction on chronic renal failure. Methods A total of 122 patients with chronic renal failure were randomly recruited into a treatment group and a control group. On the basis of conventional therapy, the treatment group was treated with Qihuangyishen decoction while the control group was treated with coated aldehyde oxystarch. Blood routine results, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and endogenous creatinine clearance rate were observed before and after the treatment in both groups. Results The total effective rate was 82.5% and 67.8% in the treatment group and the control group respectively, the difference showing statistical significance (χ2=16.258, P＜0.01 ) , Conclusion Qihuangyishen decoction was effective in treating chronic renal failure.

Objective To evaluate the effect of continuous glucose monitoring system(CGMS) in improving the current status of type 1 diabetes mellitus(T1DM) control and reducing the economic burden of the patients.Methods One hundred and fifteen patients with T1DM were randomly assigned to the CGMS group and the self-monitoring of blood glucose(SMBG) group respectively.The patients in CGMS group were on 72 h CGMS every 6 months, while SMBG group only with SMBG to guide the insulin dose adjustment.The levels of blood glucose and the statistics of the number of hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis were taken as the main observational indexes every 6 months.The chronic complication and the statistics of the number of hospitalizations and the total cost of treatment were made as the secondary observational index every 12 months.Results 2 h postprandial plasma glucose(2hPG) and mean blood glucose(MBG) in the CGMS group were lower than those in the SMBG group [(10.7±1.9 vs 11.5±2.7) mmol/L, (9.7±0.5 vs 10.6±0.7) mmol/L, P<0.05] in the clinical follow-up visit after 6 months.The per capita number of hypoglycaemia in the CGMS group was lower than that in the SMBG group[(7.9±2.6 vs 9.2±3.4) times, P<0.05].In the outpatient follow-up re-visit to the patients after 6 months, fasting plasma glucose(FPG), 2hPG, MBG, and HbA1C of the patients in the CGMS group were lower than those in the SMBG group(t=4.71~9.75, P<0.05), the per capita numbers of hypoglycemia and DKA in the CGMS group were lower than those in the SMBG group(t=3.61~4.37, P<0.05).Conclusion The application of real-time continuous glucose monitoring in T1DM outpatient management may reduce the whole-day blood glucose of the patients, decrease the incidence risk of hypoglycemia, and improve the compliance of the treatment while without increasing the economic burden of the disease.

The endovascular exclusion is an effective treatment of aortic aneurysm diseases in frail and elderly patients who cannot suffer the open surgery. However, as the key treatment device of this technique, traditional stent-grafts are not suitable to treat complex aortic aneurysm diseases in emergency. The emergence of the fenestrated stent-graft and in-situ fenestration has brought new dawn to the treatment of these patients. This study reviews the advances in complex aortic aneurysms treated by the fenestrated stent-graft and the in-situ fenestration. In addition, the novel concept of the fabric structure designed for "in-situ fenestrated stent-graft" is proposed for the in-situ fenestration technique. It is expected to break through the bottleneck of the present fenestrated stent-grafts. It would be beneficial to the bailout of complex aortic aneurysm diseases and thereby benefitting more patients.
