Objective To use warm needling moxibustion plus Julisanjie Bolus for the treatment of hysteromyoma and explore a new way to treat hysteromyoma. Method A treatment group of 40 hysteromyoma patients received warm needling moxibustion plus Julisanjie Bolus; a conventional treatment group of 40 hysteromyoma patients, Julisanjie Bolus; a control group of 40 hysteromyoma patients, mifepristone. The therapeutic effects were compared between the treatment group and the conventional treatment or control group. Result The cure rate and the total efficacy rate were 12.5% and 97.5%, respectively, in the treatment group, 5.0% and 75.0%, respectively, in the conventional treatment group and 5.0% and 72.5%, respectively, in the control group. Conclusion The therapeutic effect was significantly better in the treatment group than in the conventional treatment and control groups (P<0.05). There were no obvious adverse reactions during the clinical trial of warm needling moxibustion plus Julisanjie Bolus for the treatment of hysteromyoma.

In many pathogens infection,especially virus,antibody-dependent enhancement(ADE) can aggravate the infection and lead to severe diseases.In this immunopathological phenomenon,virus-specific antibodies enhance the entry of virus into monocytes,macrophages and granulocytic cells and even the replication of virus through different mechanism.This phenomenon has been reported in numerous pathogens including virus,bacteria and parasite and the mechanisms of ADE vary from different species.Further study of ADE can promote the vaccine research and development to make the most use of vaccine and prevent human body from pathogens,which will be helpful to control the spread of pathogens including Zika virus.In the present review,we review the research progress of ADE mechanism in recent years,including antibodies mediating,receptors mediating,complement mediating,viral proteins mediating and cellular mediating ADE.In addition,dengue virus,human immunodeficiency virus,Coxsackie virus,Ebola virus,Zika virus and other pathogens will be illustrated respectively.This review provides insights on the different mechanism of ADE in different pathogens.
