Objective To explore the significance and methods of surgical treatment of mammary hyperplasia. Methods Patients with mammary hyperplasia were treated by different operative procedures,and cosmetic operations were performed synchronously on some selected patients. Results 523 cases were treated by surgery. All cases were diagnosed as mammary hyperplasia on the pathological examination and were in good condition postoperatively. The results of synchronous cosmetic operation were satisfactory . Conclusions The surgical treatment of mammary hyperplasia should be done if the efficacy was not satisfatory after the therapy combined traditional chinese medicine with western medicine . The operative indications must be defined carefully.

AIM: To investigate the effect of rigid contact lens in the treatment after pterygium excision and limbal stem cell transplantation in senile patients.METHODS: Totally 90 elderly patients diagnosed as unilateral pterygium in our hospital from March 2015 to March 2016 were selected and divided into two groups, observation group and control group, 45 case with 45 eyes in each group.Observation group was treated with limbal stem cell transplantation and rigid contact lens.Control group was treated with limbal stem cell transplantation only.The following indicators were observed and compared: corneal healing time, visual analogue score(VAS) at 1, 3, 5 and 7d after surgery and the recurrence rate of pterygium.RESULTS: The score on corneal irritation of observation group was significantly lower than that of control group (P<0.05).Control group took more time on corneal healing than observation group (P<0.05).VAS of control group were higher than that of the observation group at 1 and 2d after treatment with significant difference (P<0.05).The recurrence rates of pterygium were not statistically significant between the two groups (P>0.05).CONCLUSION: Autologous corneal stem cell transplantation combined with rigid contact lens for pterygium in elderly patients is effective with shorter healing time and less pain, and it does not increase the recurrence rate.

Objective: To investigate the level of maternal and infant health literacy and its influencing factors among rural pregnant and lying-in women in Guian New Area, Guiyang City, so as to provide insights into maternal and infant health education. Methods: All pregnant and lying-in women included in health management in township hospitals of Guian New Area from October to December 2021 were selected using a stratified cluster random sampling method. Participants' basic features, maternal and infant health literacy and health education needs were collected using electronic questionnaires, and factors affecting maternal and infant health literacy were identified among pregnant and lying-in women using unconditioned multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 918 valid questionnaires were recovered, and the participants included 325 pregnant women (35.40%), 823 married women (89.65%), 466 women with an educational level of junior high school and below (50.76%), 847 rural household registration (92.27%), 695 women with monthly family income of 3 200 Yuan and less (75.71%), and 267 women with maternal and infant health literacy (29.08%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified pluripara (OR=3.418, 95%CI: 1.689-6.919), educational level (diploma, OR=2.901, 95%CI: 1.230-6.842; bachelor and above, OR=6.282, 95%CI: 2.548-15.489), household monthly income per capita (3 201-5 000 Yuan, OR=2.373, 95%CI: 1.499-3.757; 5 001 Yuan and more, OR=7.752, 95%CI: 3.072-19.558), a disease history (OR=3.045, 95%CI: 1.175-5.406), use of maternal and child health manuals (OR=1.881, 95%CI: 1.345-2.632) and emphasizing health education (OR=1.735, 95%CI: 1.122-2.463) as factors promoting for the level of maternal and infant health literacy. In addition, pregnant and lying-in women's major maternal and infant health education needs included infant growth and development knowledge (745 women, 81.15%), management of common infant diseases (719 women, 78.32%), daily infant nursing (651 women, 70.92%) and infant nutrition and feeding (646 women, 70.37%). Conclusions The level of maternal and infant health literacy is low among rural pregnant and lying-in women in Guian New Area, and there is a high demand for health education. High attention should be paid to rural pregnant and lying-in women with a low educational level, low incomes, and primipara.

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disease clinically, and at present no western medicine can effectively cure the disease. After the analysis of literatures related to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for treatment of the disease in the China National Knowledge Internet Database, it was discovered that the syndrome differentiation showed the disease closely associated with phlegm, blood stasis and yin deficiency. In this study, from view point of pulmonary gangrene TCM theory and treatment combined with PAP pathophysiological characteristics, it is emphasized that phlegm accumulation, blood stasis and yang deficiency are the key pathological manifestations of PAP, thus Yanghe decoction, Tounong powder, Kongxian pellet were used for treatment of one such case, the rational thinking in diagnosis and treatment of this patient being consistent with the idea learning western medicine for China use.

Objective To explore the effect of dimethylformamide(DMF)on the histological structure and enzymes activity in the testis of mice.Methods The KM male mice were treated with DMF by gavage at the doses of 0,0.5,1 and 2 g/kg respectively, once a day,for 30 consecutive days.On day 31,the mice blood samples were collected through eyes and then the mice were killed. Two mice were randomly selected in each group and one testicle was sampled to do the pathological examination,the other one for enzyme activity determination,including succinic acid dehydrogenase(SDH),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)and acid phosphatase (ACP).Results Compared with the control group,all treated groups showed a significant decrease in body weight(P

CD28 family consists of CD28, ICOS, CTLA-4 and PD-1 molecules. The former two are activation receptors and the later two are inhibition receptors. They produce co-stimulatory signals combining with the relevant molecules in B7 family, which plays important role in T cell activation and homeostasis among T subsets. Although the mechanism of signaling by CD28 and CTLA-4 has been well studied, many questions still remain to be answered. Further investigations are required for substantiating the dual-signaling model.
