Carotid artery stenosis is one of the main causes of ischemic stroke. Carotid artery stenting has gradually become a mainstream treatment approach of carotid stenosis, and the in-stent restenosis is its most common late complications, which restricts the development of carotid artery stenting. This article reviews the epidemiology, imaging evaluation, pathophysiological mechanism, and prevention and treatment measures of carotid in-stent restenosis.

Pulse wave, a research focus in both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, which contains a wealth of human physiological and pathological information, has always been the concern of medical practitioners. On the basis of the review on the development of the pulse wave theory and its applications, the existing problems in this field are discussed in this paper. On the basis of the status quo of pulse wave information extraction methods and the utilization of pulse wave in traditional Chinese and Western medicine, a more in-depth study on pulse wave is proposed to make it a bridge connecting traditional Chinese medicine with Western medicine.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus(T1DM),also known as insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), is classified as an autoimmune disease.Academia currently define it as one of the important autoimmune diseases(IAIDs).The most significant pathophysiological characteristics of T1DM are the pathological humoral and cellular autoimmune response which results in damage to pancreaticβ-cell and absolute reduction insulin.Thus, the mainstream traditional therapy for T1DM has been to chronically replenish insulin or substitutes.Nevertheless, this approach may generate a number of side effects, especially hypoglycemia reaction, hypoglycemic coma and insulin resistance.In recent years, the clinical use of methotrex-ate(MTX) as an immunity inhibitor or regulator aiming at pathogenesis of T1DM has received increasing attention and will become another significant case where an old drug is used for new purposes.The advances in research on MTX in T1DM are discussed in this paper.

Objective To explore the feasibility of laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) in the management of ruptured spleen. Methods Laparoscopic splenectomy was performed in 8 cases of ruptured spleen in this hospital from August 2004 to May 2005. Results Laparoscopic splenectomy was accomplished successfully in 7 cases and a conversion to hand-assisted laparoscopic splenectomy (HALS) was needed in 1 case. The operation time was 150~200 min (mean, 180 min). The intraoperative blood loss was 600~5 500 ml (mean, 2 200 ml). There were 5 cases of type Ⅱ rupture and 3 cases of type Ⅲ rupture. The postoperative recovery was uneventful and no complications were encountered. Conclusions[WTBZ] Laparoscopic splenectomy is a safe and feasible option for the management of ruptured spleen.

Abstract: Objective ， To analyze the current status and existing problems of occupational health talents in China and put Methods forward development measures and suggestions. The occupational health supervision and management law enforcement officers at the city and county levels in China and occupational health professionals in local occupational disease prevention and control technical support institutions at all levels were selected as the survey subjects using comprehensive survey. The Questionnaire on the Construction Status of Occupational Health Personnel Team in China was used to investigate Results ， theallocation. ByDecember2020 therewere17900occupationalhealthsupervisionandlawenforcementofficersin ， ， cities counties and districts and each occupational health supervision and law enforcement officer in China needed to ， ， supervise and manage 261 enterprises.

Objective To establish the reference values of static balance function with Active Balancer EAB-100 in healthy Chinese adults, and to screen the valuable indices for clinical work. Methods There were 227 healthy adults measured with Active Balancer EAB-100 when standing still with eyes opened and closed. All the data recorded were analyzed with SPSS 19.0, and the weight of every parameter was obtained with principal component analysis. Results The reference values of parameters for static balance function were established in healthy Chinese adults. The loadings of whole path length, rectangle area, circumference area, effective value area, deflection center displacement X, deflection center displacement Y, rectangle area of Romberg rate and circumference area of Romberg rate were more than average. Conclusion It is need to focus on whole path length, circumference area, deflection center displacement X, deflection center displacement Y, and effective value area and circumference area of Romberg rate much more in clinical practice for the static balance assessment.
