1.Livedoid vasculitis: an update
Chinese Journal of Dermatology 2016;49(5):371-374
Livedoid vasculitis is a kind of skin disease caused by local vascular occlusion.It mainly manifests as erythematous and purpuric maculas or papules on the legs and ankles,which may progress into intensely painful ulcers and heal leaving porcelain-white atrophic scars called atrophie blanche.Histopathologically,inflammatory response is weak or absent in local lesions of livedoid vasculitis,hence,it is commonly considered to be related to local thrombosis and other autoimmune diseases.Now,it is mainly managed with anticoagulation-based comprehensive treatment in clinic.
2.Positively and reasonably clinical application of endoluminal stenting
Journal of Interventional Radiology 1994;0(03):-
The endoluminal stenting is popular for more than two decades,even in China,encouraging achievements also are getting around the recent dacade.Endoluminal stents are not only applicated for all kinds of vascular stenosis,and nonvascular stenosis such as biliary tract,esophagus,trachea etc,but also are utilized gradually in the interventional treatment of cerebral ischemia and hemorrage in the recent years,especially for aortic aneurysm.There would still have a long way to go in China for further development in basic research,standardized procedure,and normalized followed-up.The main target for all the interventional radiologists in the foreseen future is how to develop new stents with independent knowlege property right and to expand the stents usage reasonably.
3.Clinical study on acupuncture plus auricular point sticking for tension-type headache
Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2021;19(1):49-55
Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus auricular point sticking for tension-type headache (TTH). Methods: A total of 90 TTH patients were divided into an acupuncture group, an auricular point sticking group and an observation group by random number table method, with 30 cases in each group. Patients in the observation group received acupuncture plus auricular point sticking for treatment, while those in the acupuncture group only received acupuncture and those in the auricular point sticking group only received auricular point sticking for treatment. The headache attack frequency and the scores of visual analog scale (VAS), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were observed before treatment, after treatment and 3 months after treatment. The clinical efficacy was evaluated at the follow-up of 3 months after treatment. Results: At follow-up, there were significant differences in clinical efficacy among the three groups (P<0.01 or P<0.05), and the clinical efficacy ranking from high to low was the observation group, the acupuncture group and the auricular point sticking group. After treatment and at follow-up, the VAS score, headache attack frequency, SAS and SDS scores in the three groups were significantly lower than those before treatment (all P<0.01). The above four results in the observation group were lower than those in the acupuncture group and the auricular point sticking group at the same time point (all P<0.01); VAS score in the acupuncture group was lower than that in the auricular point sticking group (both P<0.05). At follow-up, the headache frequency in the acupuncture group was lower than that in the auricular point sticking group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Either using acupuncture and auricular point sticking together or separately can reduce the headache degree of TTH patients, reduce the number of headache attacks, and relieve anxiety and depression. The efficacy of acupuncture plus auricular point sticking is most significant.

Objective To investigate the effects of Buyang-Huanwu decoction combined with western medicine on early diabetic renal injury.Methods 200 cases of early diabetic renal injury were randomly recruited into study group and control group,with 100 cases in each group.The control group was treated with insulin injection and oral benazepril hydrochloride,and the blood pressure,blood lipid changes were closely monitored; while the study group was additionally treated with Buyang-Huanwu decoction on the basis of the control group.Results The total therapeutic effects in the study group was significantly higher than the control group (x2=15.62,P<0.01).The values of FBG,2 h PG,DBP,SBP,HbAlc in both groups were significantly reduced after the treatment (P<0.05,t=4.23,4.47,3.59,3.87,3.99 in the study group,t=4.34,4.76,4.05,3.78,3.69 in the control group) ; but the difference between the two groups had no significance (P>0.05).Before treatment rnALB,Urea,Cr,TG and TC were not significantly different (P>0.05) ; the values of mALB,Ureaand Cr were significantly reduced in the study group after the treatment (P<0.05,t=4.56,3.73,3.28);especially mALB in the study group was obviously lower than the control group (P<0.05,t=5.01).Conclusion Buyang-Huanwu decoction combined with western medicine was effective to treat early renal damage of type 2 diabetes,with the functions of reducing urinary protein,improving microcirculation and protecting renal function.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of APACHE Ⅱ score on risk stratification in patients with acute myocardial infarction.Methods One hundred and forty-two patients with acute myocardial infarction were included in the study who were admitted to hospital consecutively from Jan.2011 to Dec.2012.High risk group and low risk group were divided by the APACHE Ⅱ score.Some clinical variables at the first 24 h after admitted to hospital and occurring during the following 1 year were recorded Results The age in high risk group was 78.9 ±8.1,significantly higher than that in low risk group (65.8 ± 10.2;t =6.835,P < 0.001).The cases with Killip Ⅲ and Ⅳ in high risk group were 10(29.4%) and 2(1.8%),lower than in low risk group (6 (1.8%) and 0 (0%) ; x2 =21.950,15.777 ; P < 0.005).The level of creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin Ⅰ in high risk group were (147.7 ±21.5) U/L and (105.5 ± 17.6) U/L,higher than in low risk group((105.5 ± 17.6) U/L,(42.9 ± 6.3) U/L; t =11.541,5.785 ; P < 0.001).The incidence of severe cardiac events(malignant arrhythmia,heart failure,non fatal myocardial infarction and death from any cause in high risk group were 58.8% (20/34),47.0% (16/34),17.6% (6/34) and 17.6% (6/34),higher than in low risk group (29.6% (32/108),3.7% (4/108),6.4% (7/108) and 6.4% (7/108) ; x2 =8.274,36.665,3.876 and 3.876 ; P < 0.05).Conclusion APACHE Ⅱ score is likely to be a simple and practical tool for risk stratification in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Objective: To explore whether resveratrol can reduce intestinal damage in hemorrhagic shock rats and the underlying mechanism. Methods: A total of 24 Sprague-Dawley rats of speciif c pathogen free (SPF) were randomly divided into a control group(n=8), a resveratrol group (SR group,n=8) and a vehicle group (SS group,n=8). hT e mean arterial pressure was recorded. Two hours atf er hemorrhagic shock, 15 mg/kg resveratrol or 0.3 mL equal volume of vehicle and autologous blood were given, respectively. The intestinalspecimens were collected for hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and calculated the pathological score. The superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) and cytochrome C (Cyt C) protein expression was examined by immunohistochemistry and/or Western blot. ATP level, activities of glutathione peroxidase (GXH-px), catalase (CAT) and SOD were also detected. Results: Two hours atfer autologous blood transfusion, the mean arterial pressure in the SR group was signiifcantly higher than that in the SS group (P<0.01). Compared with the SS group, the pathological injury was signiifcantly alleviated and pathological scores were dramatically reduced in the SR group (P<0.05). hTe activities of GXH-px, CAT, SOD and the ATP levels in the SR group were signiifcantly higher than those in the SS group (allP<0.01). Compared with the SS group, the SOD2 expression was significantly higher while the Cyt C expression was dramatically lower in the SR group (both P<0.01). Conclusion: Resveratrol could alleviate the intestinal injury in hemorrhagic shock rats, which might be associated with its effects on reduction of oxidative stress and protection of mitochondria.
10.SLIDE MAKING METHODS FOR PREDACIOUS NEMATODE FUNGI
Microbiology 1992;0(01):-
Some problems were settled in making permanent slide for predacious nematode fungi by slide cultivation and cotton blue stain. Method of small-hole culture covered with slides could obtain high quality images, which solved the problem that trapping device couldn't be observed with high-power microscopes and oil-immersion microscopes. Scraping slide technique improved the method of making temporary slides.
