Objective To explore the efficacy of Fushe Jiedu Decoction combined with red light on viper bites injury limb swelling and the effects on the inflammatory cytokines. Methods Totally 90 patients were divided into control group and experimental group by using random number table method, with 45 cases in each group. The wounds of the control group were sterilized and given anti-snake venom serum, antibiotics, and tetanus immunoglobulin and supplemented with energy to correct water and electrolyte disturbances. The experimental group was treated with Fushe Jiedu Decoction based on the treatment of control group,150 mL each time,orally,twice a day; Red light was applied at the site of the most obvious swelling of the injured limb, 20 minutes each time, twice a day. The treatment lasted for 6 d. The swelling of injured limbs, serum C-reactive protein (CRP), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), histamine, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6 levels before and after treatment in the two groups were observed. Results Compared with before treatment, the swelling of the limbs disappeared significantly in the experimental group at 3 d and 6 d and in the control group at 6 d, with statistical significance (P<0.01). Compared with the control group at the same time point, the swelling of the limbs in the treatment group was significantly better than that in the control group at 3 d and 6 d, with statistical significance (P<0.01). Compared with before treatment, the levels of CRP, 5-HT, TNF-α, and IL-6 were significantly lower in the two groups, with statistical significance (P<0.05). After treatment, CRP, 5-HT and histamine in the experimental group were significantly better than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Fushe Jiedu Decoction combined with red light has good efficacy for viper bites injury limb swelling, which can reduce inflammatory cytokines levels of patients.

OBJECTIVETo explore the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) in the treatment of colorectal polyps.

METHODEMR was applied in the treatment of colorectal polyps.

RESULTSA total of 3578 polyps in 2609 patients were all completely resected except 2 cases and the integrated rate of samples was 99.6%. Intra- and post-operation complications occurred in 22 cases(0.8%), including 7 intraoperative bleeding, 5 postoperative bleeding, and 10 thermal burn, which were cured by symptomatic treatment. A total of 1530 (58.6%) cases were followed-up with 3-12 months and no relapse was found in former place of excision.

CONCLUSIONEMR can be applied in resection of colorectal polyps effectively and safely.

OBJECTIVETo study the curative effect of Zhiyang Pingfu Liquid (ZPL) in treating epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors (EGFRIs) associated adverse reactions of the skin.

METHODSAll 54 patients with pathologically confirmed malignant tumor had EGFRIs induced adverse reactions of the skin to various degrees. ZPL was externally applied for them all, once or twice per day, 14 days consisting of one therapeutic course. Changes of adverse skin reactions, time for symptoms relief, adverse skin reaction types suitable for ZPL were observed before and after treatment.

RESULTSEGFRIs associated skin adverse reactions were improved to various degrees after they used ZPL. The shortest symptoms relief time was 1 day while the longest was 12 days, with an average of 6.93 days and the median time 7 days. Compared with before treatment, itching, rash/scaling, acne/acneform eruptions were obviously improved (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONZPL could alleviate EGFRls associated adverse skin reactions, especially showed better effect on itching, rash/scaling, acne/acneform eruptions.

OBJECTIVETo objectively assess the clinical efficacy and safety of a new Pulian Ointment (, NPLO) in treating psoriasis of blood-heat syndrome of Chinese medicine.

METHODSA total of 108 patients with psoriasis of blood-heat syndrome were equally assigned, using a randomizing digital table, to the test group treated externally with NPLO and the control group treated with placebo; the medication was done using a singleblinded method twice a day. Meanwhile, all patients received by oral intake a conventional Chinese decoction for clearing heat and cooling blood; the therapeutic course was 4 weeks for both groups. The therapeutic efficacy, changes in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score and various aspects of the lesion, including scaly eruption, erythema, infiltration, size, score of itching as well as adverse reactions were observed.

RESULTSThe trial was completed in 100 patients, 51 in the test group and 49 in the control group. The remarkably effective rate was 45.10% and the total effective rate was 84.31% in the test group, which were significantly higher than those in the control group, 12.24% and 51.02%, respectively, showing a significant difference between groups (P<0.01). The test group also showed better effects in the improvement of the PASI score of the lesions and scores on erythema, infiltration, size of lesion as well as itching. No adverse event was found in either group.

CONCLUSIONNPLO is a Chinese remedy for the external treatment of psoriasis of the blood-heat syndrome with a reliable therapeutic efficacy and good safety.

OBJECTIVETo study the application of extraoral distraction devices in correction of various maxillo-mandibular deformities.

METHODSFrom 1997, 11 cases with various maxillo-mandibular deformities were corrected by distraction devices of designed by myself. 7 cases of then were the patients with cleft palate who have severe secondary maxillary hypoplasia. 1 case with micrognathia, 1 case with partial mandibular mentum defect, 1 case with lateral deviation of micrognathia and 1 case with hemimandibular hypertrophy. The mandibles were elongated, from 12 mm to 20 mm, the maxillae were elongated from 7 mm to 22 mm, the vertical mandibular distraction was 15 mm.

RESULTSAll cases were corrected satisfactorily and haven't any complications. In 1 cases the 1 Kischners pin had been pull out by loosen during distration. 4 Kischners pin were curved during vertical mandibular distration. Another case the maxillary hypoplasia appeared edge-to-edge and mild open occlusion after 4 weeks fixation.

CONCLUSIONThe extraoral distration osteogenesis provides a new method with many advantages for those maxillo-mandibular deformities that are difficulty corrected by ordinary orthognathic surgery.

Leptin, which is a plasma protein produced by the obese gene, is expressed and secreted by adipocytes. The clearance of lepdn from the circulation is unknown. But, markedly elevated serum leptin concentrations have recently been reported in patients with chronic renal failure. The purpose of the present study was to investigate plasma leptin concentration of patients with chronic renal failure and evaluate the factors affecting plasma leptin levels. Plasma leptin, insulin, and body mass index were determined in 34 patients with chronic renal failure and 55 control subjects. The plasrna leptin concentrations were not significantly different between patients with chronic renal failure and control subjects (9.4+/-11.8 vs 4.9+/-4.2ng/ml, P>0.05). The serum leptin concentrations were not significantly higher in both male and female CRF patients compared with control subjects (3.96+/-5.72 vs 2.48+/-1.65, P=0.1947, 17.07+/-14.02 vs 7.49+/-4.63ng/ml, P=0.07, respectively). And, there was no significant correlation between serum creatinine and plasma leptin. However, there was significant correlation between plasma leptin concentration and insulin level (P<0.05). We fit a multiple linear regre- ssion analysis with plasma leptin level as the dependent variable in CRF. Sex (male vs female) (P< 0.001) and insulin (P=0.004) were independently associated with plasma leptin level in CRF. These results suggested that plasma leptin level was regulated or affected by multiple factors inclu- ding sex and insulin resistance. Additional study is required to evaluate relationship between plasma leptin and insulin resistance in chronic renal failure.
