ObjectiveTo observe the effect of pus-draining and bloodletting with sharp-hook needle in repairing the skin lesions in acne vulgaris of nodules type.MethodTwenty pairs of skin lesions caused by acne vulgaris of nodules type were divided into a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group was intervened by pus-draining and bloodletting with sharp-hook needle, while the control group was by pus-draining with sharp-hook needle. Two facial skin lesions of same size were selected from each patient to respectively receive pus-draining and bloodletting with sharp-hook needle or pus-drainage alone. The changes of lesion size and hardness in a week were observed and compared.ResultThe reducing of lesion size was more significant in the treatment group than that in the control group (P<0.05), and the improvement of hardness of the lesions in the treatment group was also more significant in the treatment group than that in the control group (P<0.05).ConclusionPus-draining and bloodletting with sharp-hook needle can produce amore significant effect in repairing skin lesions in acne vulgaris than pus-draining alone.

[Objective] The aim of this study is to investigate the mechanism and curative effect of cataplasma of Artemisia Argyi by supercritical CO 2 fluid extraction to rat weight, foot swel ing, interleukin-1β, interleukin-17 and tumor necrosis factor-αin the adjuvant arthritis rat models;and afford theoreti-cal evidence for clinical work.[Methods]50 healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:Control group, Model group, Low-dose treatment group, Medium-dose treatment group, High-dose treatment group. Model and al treatment goups took CFA for model ing. After establishing animal models of AA rats, the first group and second group used cataplasm without active drug ingredients. Other groups were given treatment according to dif-ferent drug doses. Assess the joint swel ing degree at different times. Measure the arthritic index and rat weight in two weeks. After 21 days ,detect the cy-tokines level of IL-lβ,IL-17 and TNF-α from the rat's serum and examine the pathological changes of joint observed by HE . [Results]Cataplasma of Artemisia Argyi by supercritical CO2 fluid extraction can significantly reduce rat foot swel ing of the ankle joint pathology ,reduce arthritis score and slow down the weight loss,meanwhile,effectively improve the general daily behavior of rats. The standard of IL-1β,IL-17,TNF-α in serum can be decreased by cataplasma of Artemisia Argyi by supercritical CO2 fluid extraction. The pathological result showed: in the treatment group,the rats synovial hyperplasia the vesselwing reduced, the inflammatory cel infiltration was more decreased than the model group. [Conclusion]The result showed that the cataplasma of Artemisia Argyi by supercritical CO2 fluid extraction had an obvious effect in treating RA. The mechanism was probably that it regulated the immune dis-order of RA.

Objective To explore the value of endoscopic mini-incision greater saphenous vein harvesting for coronary artery bypass operation. Methods A total of 411 patients scheduled for coronary artery bypass operation were given either endoscopic vein harvesting(EVH Group,n=136) or open vein harvesting(OVH Group,n=275),based on patient's willingness.The operation outcomes and incision complications were compared between the two groups. Results The incidence of various incision complications was significantly lower in the EVH Group(18.4%,25/136) than in the OVH Group(36.7%,101/275)(?~2=14.406,P=0.000).As compared with the OVH Group,the EVH Group had lower incidences of edema(1.5% vs 35.3%;?~2=56.861,P=0.000),paraesthesia(7.4% vs 33.8%;?~2=33.937,P=0.000),hematoma(16.2% vs 27.3%;?~2=6.214,P=0.013),and incisional liquefaction(0.7% vs 8.7%;?~2=10.174,P=0.001) of the lower extemity.The total operation time were 226.3?28.5 min in the EVH Group and 224.7?19.2 min in the OVH Group,without significant difference between the two groups(t=0.673,P=0.502).Early graft failure happened in 1 case in each of the groups,without significant difference between the two groups(?~2=0.000,P=1.000).The numbers of distal coronary anastomoses were 3.6?0.8 in the EVH Group and 3.3?1.0 in the OVH Group,with significant difference(t=3.049,P=0.002). Conclusions Endoscopic greater saphenous vein harvesting can significantly reduce the morbidity associated with incision complications,whereas does not prolong the operative time,increase the incidence of early graft failure,and decrease the number of distal coronary anastomoses.

OBJECTIVE To study the relationship between the methods of CPAP pressure titration (under whole night PSG or by auto-set) and CPAP compliance. METHODS Forty-five patients with serious OSAHS who had been diagnosed in our sleep lab between 2001 and 2004 and were willing to try CPAP treatment were enrolled. They were divided into A and B group according to their wills: pressure titration under whole night PSG in lab (group A) or by auto-set in their families (group B). After pressure titration, patients and their families were educated for the knowledge of CPAP treatment in OSAHS patients. Questionnaires about QOL before CPAP treatment and half year later were carried out on the phone. The decreased score was used to evaluate the effect of CPAP treatment. The hours of per day using machine were used to evaluate the compliance of CPAP. RESULTS Group A and group B got the similar decreased score (14 VS 14.3) , compliance (4.91h VS 4.97h) and adherence (85.7 % VS 88 %) . CONCLUSION OSAHS patients under go pressure titration either in lab with PSG or in their home with auto-set have the same effect and same compliance of CPAP treatment. That means the simple auto-titration can substitute the traditional titration under whole night in lab.
