Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of eye acupuncture plus body acupuncture in treating thalamic pain. Method Sixty patients with thalamic pain were randomized into group A, group B, and group C, 20 cases in each group. Group A was intervened by eye acupuncture plus body acupuncture, group B was by eye acupuncture alone, and group C was by body acupuncture alone. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was observed before and after treatment, and the clinical efficacies were compared.ResultThe total effective rate and recovery rate were respectively 100.0% and 85.0% in group A, versus 100.0% and 50.0% in group B and 80.0% and 15.0% in group C. There were no significant inter-group differences in comparing the total effective rate (P>0.05). The recovery rate of group A was significantly different from that of group B and C (P<0.05). The recovery rate of group B was significantly different from that of group C (P<0.05). The VAS scores were significantly changed after treatment in the three groups (P<0.05). After treatment, the VAS score of group A was significantly different from that of group B and C (P<0.05).Conclusion Eye acupuncture plus body acupuncture is an effective approach in treating thalamic pain.

Objective To establish the quality standard for Huamoyan Tablet. Methods Radix Salviae MiltioiThizae and Radix Cyathulaewere were identified by TLC. The content of protocatechuic aldehyde was determined by HPLC. Results The spots on TLC plates were clear without the interference of negative control. Protocatechuic aldehyde showed a good linear relationship in the range of 0. 021～0. 105 μg, r=0. 999 9. The average recovery was 98. 13 % ,and RSD=2. 41%. Conclusion The method is simple, sensitive and accurate, and can be used to control the qual-ity of Huamoyan Tablet.

AIM: To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of heavy silicone oil (HSO), Densiron 68, was used as internal tamponade to treat complex vitreoretinopathy.METHODS: A retrospective study of 30 patients (30 eyes) who underwent vitrectomy and HSO tamponade for complex retinal detachment between January 2015 and January 2016.The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), retinal reattachment and complications after surgery were observed.RESULTS: There were statistical significances in both the BCVA difference between pre-operation and HSO tamponade, and the BCVA difference between pre-operation and the removal of HSO for 3mo (z=-2.198, P=0.028;z=-2.682, P=0.007).The average intraocular pressure of HSO tamponade group was 20.233±8.007mmHg, and the average intraocular pressure of pre-operation group was 16.067±4.025mmHg, showing significant difference(t=-2.913, P=0.005).Between the pre-operation group and the HSO removed group 14.933±3.423mmHg, there was no significant statistical difference in the analysis of IOP (t=2.635, P=0.430).Anatomical success was achieved in 90% of cases after the removal of HSO.Most common complications were cataract formation and oil emulsification.CONCLUSION: Densiron-68 is a safe and effective tamponade material for the treatment of complex vitreoretinopathy.However, most common complications are cataract formation and oil emulsification.So clinicians should strictly handle indications and usage during the clinical applications.

Circulating tumor cells(CTCs)are essential for establishing recurrence and metastasis in malignant tumors.Detecting CTCs can help for early detection of the cancer metastases and recurrences,and also can help for evaluating prognostic and guiding treatment.CTCs detection technique mainly include screening and separation technology which contains immune magnetic separation technology and reverse transcriptasepolymerase chain reaction and so on.With the development of technique,there is a new technique named ctcchip contains both screening and separation functions.

Objective To investigate the feasibility,reliability,and complications of laparoscopic second-look exploration for ovary epithelial cancer.Methods The operation was performed under general anaesthesia.The 4-port laparoscopy was carried out.Physiological saline was used to wash the abdominal and pelvic cavity for cytological examination.Then the exploration of abdominal and pelvic cavity was performed,adhesions were dissected,and multiple punch biopsies(at more than 20 sites) were conducted in the abdominal and pelvic cavity.Results All the operations were completed successfully.The operative time was 61.3?16.7 min,and the hemorrhage volume was 98.7?32.1 ml.Positive findings were encountered in 4 cases(28.6%),3 of which(21.4%) were identified by the naked eye and 1 of which was identified by microscope,and negative findings,10 cases(71.4%).Of the 4 cases of positive findings,the tumor was located at the pelvic peritoneum or the paracolic sulci peritoneum.No abdominal organ injuries occurred,and no conversion to open surgery was needed.Delayed healing of umbilical incision happened in 1 case.Of the 10 cases of negative findings,recurrence of tumor was observed in 1 case(10.0%) at 48 months after operation.Conclusions Laparoscopic second-look exploration for ovary epithelial cancer is feasible,with advantages of minimal invasion,fast recovery,and good patient's tolerance.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of laparoscopic radical hysterectomy and abdominopelvic lymphadenectomy in the treatment of malignant uterine tumors.Methods Laparoscopic radical hysterectomy and abdominopelvic lymphadenectomy was performed in 62 cases of biopsy-confirmed early-stage malignant uterine tumors from February 2003 to August 2005.There were 26 cases of endometrial cancer and 36 cases of cervical cancer.Pelvic lymphadenectomy was conducted in all the cases;while selective lymphadenectomy of peripheral lymph nodes of the abdominal aorta was performed in 5 cases,followed by laparoscope-assisted vaginal hysterectomy(LAVH).Results The operation was completed under laparoscope in 61 cases,and a conversion to open surgery because of venous injuries was encountered in 1 case.The operation time was 165～265 min(mean,217 min);the intraoperative hemorrhage volume was 150～1200 ml(mean,260 ml);the number of excised lymph nodes was 13～23(mean,17).Bladder injury happened in 1 case and was successfully repaired under laparoscope.Postoperatively,urine retention developed in 4 cases and lymphatic cyst occurred in 5.Follow-up checkups for 1~28 months in 61 cases showed 1 case of recurrence at 3 postoperative month(stage Ⅱ_B cervical adeno-squamous carcinoma,withdrew from the treatment and died 4 months later).Conclusions Laparoscopic radical hysterectomy and abdominopelvic lymphadenectomy is safe,feasible,effective,and reliable.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of laparoscopic myomectomy.Methods A retrospective analysis was made on clinical data of 58 cases of laparoscopic myomectomy(Laparoscope Group) and 52 cases of open myomectomy(Open Group) from October 2002 to February 2004 in this hospital.Results The laparoscopic operation was all accomplished.The Laparoscope Group had significantly shorter operation time(58.0?11.2 min) than the Open Group(69.4?10.3 min)(t=(-5.535),(P=0.000)),less intraoperative blood loss(71.6?34.8 ml) than the Open Group(149.1?38.9 ml)(t=-11.029,P=0.000),lower postoperative pyrexia rate(21/58) than the Open Group(39/52)(?~2=16.642,P=0.000),shorter hospital stay(4.5?1.6 d) than the Open Group(7.6?2.1 d)(t=-8.760,P=0.000),higher total hospitalization costs (6 511.3?566.7 yuan) than the Open Group(6 286.8?387.5 yuan)(t=2.398,P=0.018),higher costs for anesthesia and operation(1 566.7?154.7 yuan) than the Open Group(946.6?156.6 yuan)(t=20.868,P=0.000),and lower costs for postoperative medication(703.5?140.2 yuan) than the Open Group(1 278.4?237.6 yuan)(t=-15.643,P=0.000).Follow-up observations in 56 cases in the Laparoscope Group and 50 cases in the Open Group for 18~34 months(mean,26 months) revealed no statistical differences in recurrence rate and pregnancy rate between the two groups.Conclusions Laparoscopic myomectomy has advantages of little hemorrhage,fast recovery,short hospital stay,and low complication rate,being one of ideal methods for the treatment of hysteromyoma.
