Conclusion Most of people in the country were yang-deficiency type and qi-depression type body constitution, the distribution of which affected by gender and age, etc.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate therapeutic efficacy and safety of Acetic acid goserelin sustained-release implants (AGRI) in the treatment of ovary endometrium cyst (OEC) recurrence after laparoscopic enuleation of ovarian cyst. METHODS:Totally of 60 patients with OEC recurrence after laparoscopic enuleation of ovarian cyst in Zhangjiagang First People's Hospital dur-ing Jan. 2013-Jan. 2015 were divided into control group and observation group according to random number table,with 30 cases in each group. Both groups were given Mifepristone tablets orally 25 mg,qd. Control group was given Gestrinone capsules orally 2.5 mg,twice a week. Observation group was given AGRI subcutaneously 3.6 mg,once a month. Both groups were treated for consec-utive 6 months. Clinical efficacies of 2 groups were observed as well as the levels of serum follicle stimulating hormone(FSH),lu-teinizing hormone(LH)and estradiol(E2),VAS scores of dysmenorrheal and chronic pelvic pain before treatment,3,6 months af-ter treatment. The occurrence of ADR and the prognosis of 12-month follow-up were observed in 2 groups. RESULTS:Total re-sponse rate of observation group was 86.67%,which was significantly higher than 70.00%of control group,with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05). After 3 months of treatment,the levels of FSH and LH in 2 groups were decreased significantly compared to be-fore treatment,with statistical significance (P<0.05);the level of E2 had no change;there was no statistical significance in the levels of FSH and LH between 2 groups(P>0.05);after 6 months of treatment,the levels of FSH,LH and E2 in 2 groups were decreased significantly,and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). After 3 and 6 months of treatment,VAS score of dysmenorrheal and chronic pelvic pain in 2 groups were decreased signifi-cantly,and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The inci-dence of ADR in observation group was 40.00%,which was significantly higher than 16.70% of control group,with statistical sig-nificance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in recurrence rate between 2 groups(P>0.05). The recovery rate of men-struation in observation group was 86.67%,the rate of dominant follicle formation was 60.00% and pregnancy rate was 53.33%, which were significantly higher than 46.67%,46.67% and 33.33% of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CON-CLUSIONS:AGRI shows significant therapeutic efficacy for OEC recurrence after laparoscopic enuleation of ovarian cyst,can ef-fectively relieve dysmenorrhea and chronic pelvic pain,increase the rate of pregnancy. There is still recurrent cases after drug with-drawal. The incidence of ADR is high,but the symptoms are mild.

BACKGROUND:Synthetic patch as an important substitute to pelvic tissue can replace damaged pelvic fascia tissue, and has been widely used in the pelvic floor reconstruction. OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and complications of pelvic floor reconstruction with mesh, and to explore its safety and effectiveness. METHODS: Forty-five pelvic organ prolapse female patients were divided into two groups according to patient’s wilingness: experimental group, pelvic floor reconstruction with mesh (n=25); control group, transvaginal hysterectomy combined with vaginal wal repair (n=20). Perioperative conditions were recorded, and uterine prolapse staging, complications, pelvic floor function, pelvic discomfort, as wel as an objective cure rate were evaluated in the two groups during the folow-up. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the experimental group was characterized as shorter operative time, less amount of bleeding, milder infections, and faster recovery (AlP < 0.05). At 6 months of folow-up, the score on uterine prolapse staging was higher in the experimental group than the control group; at 12 months, the scores on pelvic floor function and pelvic discomfort as wel as the incidence of complications were significantly lower in the experimental group (P < 0.05), but the objective cure rate was higher compared with the control group (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that pelvic floor reconstruction with mesh for pelvic organ prolapsed can reduce the operative time and blood loss and promote postoperative recovery. Meanwhile, it can significantly improve pelvic floor function, pelvic discomfort, postoperative complications, the rate of exposure, and the objective cure rate, which is safe and effective during the short-term folow-up.

Objective To further elaborate the clinical characteristics,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of primary cutaneous invasive epidermo-tropic CD8 positive cytotoxicity T-cell lymphoma.Methods The clinical characteristics,diagnosis and treatment of a patient with primary cutaneous invasive epidermotropic CD8 positive cytotoxicity T-cell lymphoma were summarized,and diagnosis and treatment of the disease from published literature were reviewed.Results After one year long,recurrence of exudative maculopapule on his body and limbs,a middle-aged male patient visited our hospital.Then,the patient was diagnosed as T2N0M0 Ⅰ phase of primary cutaneous invasive epidermo-tropic CD8 positive cytotoxicity T-cell lymphoma based on results of skin biopsy,immunohistochemistry,T-cell gene rearrangement and PET-CT.Through integrative medicine treatment (combination of bruceolic oil emulsion and chemotherapy with GDP regimen),the patient achieved complete remission (CR).The treatment and follow-up continues till now and his condition was stable.Conclusions Clinical occurrence of primary cutaneous invasive epidermo-tropic CD8 positive cytotoxicity T-cell lymphoma is rare and early diagnosis is difficult.It could be diagnosed with histopathology combined with T-cell gene rearrangement.In order to avoid misdiagnosis,great caution should be taken during disease history inquiry and physical examination,should be early lesion for delayed healing of recurrent lesions,biopsy should be conducted as soon as possible and immunohistochemistry should be performed simultaneously,which will provide a good basis for further treatment.

The existing processing methods, commercial specification and grades, and the marketing of Coptidis Rhizoma were systematical researched, referring to ancient, modern and contemporary medical literatures with the combination of our fieldwork on main origins of Coptidis Rhizoma and some herbs markets. Results showed that Coptidis Rhizoma processing methods mainly included sun-dried method and baked method anciently. For now, the processing methods become various, including thin paper-covering under the sun drying, direct drying, oven drying and microflame-fry drying. In the literatures, the main chemical constituent berberine was determined of its content to analyze the processing methods, finding that the sun drying and baked drying affect the berberine content, so the temperature must be controlled when drying. The thin paper-covering drying method is so cumbersome for large quantities of medicinal herbs and in wind conditions that it has been eliminated. Eventually, direct drying, oven drying and microflame-fry drying are chosen to the large-scale socialized production for their convenient and simple operation, making up the current main processing methods. Coptidis Rhizoma products have 3 specifications of Weilian, Yalian, Yunlian, of each specification there are 2 levels, but in fact the market of Weilian commodities overtakes the Yunlian, which only sold in parts of Yunnan, and the no-sale Yalian. The mainstream commercial Weilian are often sold in general way, gradeless and uniformly-priced. There are regional differences of the processing methods on Coptidis Rhizoma, which needs unified research and development of relevant standard operating procedures to ensure the quality of medicine, urgently. Coptidis Rhizoma product specifications and the intrinsic quality-grade correlation need to be further improved, which could provide a more reliable standard for quality at competitive prices, and it is recommended that "medicinal commercial specification and grade standard" content be increased into the Herbs part of Chinese Pharmacopoeia.
