Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of combined acupuncture and scraping therapy for simple obesity and its effects on phlegm-dampness constitution.Methods:Seventy subjects with phlegm-dampness constitution were divided into treatment group and control group with a randomized digital table.Control group was given health education and dietary instructions,and treatment group was given acupuncture and scraping therapy besides health education and dietary instructions.After four-week treatments,the scores of obesity and phlegm-dampness constitution were recorded to assess the clinical efficacy.Results:There was a striking difierence in the total effective rate in treating obesity between the two groups (P<0.01);combined acupuncture and scraping therapy can relieve the phlegm-dampness symptoms(P<0.01);but the phlegm-dampness symptoms were not improved in the control group(P>0.05).Conclusion:Combined acupuncture and scraping therapy is quite effective for simple obesity and in improving phlegm-dampness constitution of simple obesity people.

Objective To discuss clinical efficacy of shuxuetong in treatment of pulmonary fibrosis. Methods Selected 60 cases with pulmonary fibrosis and they were divided into control group of 30 cases treated by prednisone and study group of 30 cases treated by shuxuetong based on treatment of prednisone. Lung function, arterial blood gas and lung CT were compared. Results The efficiency of study group was higher than control group (P<0.01). FEV1 of study group after treatment was higher than before treatment, and was higher than control group after treatment(P all<0.05). PaO2 of study group after treatment improved apparently, and was higher than control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Clinical effi-cacy and lung function of mild, moderate pulmonary fibrosis patients are improved with treatment of shuxuetong based on prednisone.

Objective To discuss serum IL-13, TGF-β1, IL-8 levels in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and correlation with lung function. Methods A total of 60 cases with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis were selected as pulmonary fibrosis group, and 60 healthy volunteers were selected as control group. Serum IL-13, TGF-β1, IL-8, arterial blood gas analy-sis and related indicators of lung function were detected. Results Serum IL-13, TGF-β1, IL-8 levels of idiopathic pul-monary fibrosis group were higher than the control group(P<0.01). TGF-β1, IL-8 were significantly negative correlation with FVC predicted percentage (P<0.01); TGF-β1, IL-13 were significantly negative correlation with FEV1 predicted percentage (P<0.01); TGF-β1 and PaO2 was significantly negative correlation, and TGF-β1, IL-8 were significantly positive correlation with P(A-a)O2 (P<0.01);IL-8 was significantly negative correlation with PaO2 and SaO2 (P<0.01). Conclusion Serum IL-13, TGF-β1, IL-8 levels in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis increase significantly, and are nega-tive correlation with lung function.

Objective:
To investigate the subjective well-being of gynecologic tumor patients and analyze the influencing factors.
Methods:
Investigated a total of 411 gynecologic tumor patients by using the a general information questionnaire, Memorial University of Newfoundland Scale of Happiness (MUNSH), Social Support Rating Scale(SSRS) and Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire(MCMQ).
Results:
The total scores of SWB was (32.20±9.54) points, at a moderate level. The influencing factors of subjective well-being of gynecologic tumor patients included: type of tumor, complication, education, the way of payment for medical treatment, average income per person in family, social support and medical coping modes. Furtherly, average income per person in family, social support and the resigntion dimension of medical coping modes were the main factors.
Conclusions
The SWB of gynecologic tumor patients need to be improved. To increase the SWB of the patients, the family, society and medical staff should give them more emotional, informational and other kinds of support, and try to minimize negative coping modes such as resigntion.
