Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of current studies regarding the beneficial effects of infant massage therapy. Method: Firstly, some common knowledge related to massage is provided. Subsequently, research-based evidence on massage effects in neonatal unit has been examined, particularly on premature babies and newborns with jaundice. Result and Conclusion: the practice of massage therapy promotes the development of preterm babies and the treatment of neonates with jaundice generally safe, however the methodology employed in reviewed studies is of certain limitations, such as a lack of RCT with large sample size, inadequate follow-up period.

This paper describes the principle and circuit design of a new hemorrhoids therapy apparatus applied in anorectal surgery,Through clinical,practices in more than two years,it is proved to be an ideal instrument that can replace a variety of traditional hemorrhoids therapy methods.

Because of the lymphatic drainage of the neck area level-Ⅰb of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is particular,and skip metastasis in the cervical lymph node is rare,the involved region of level-Ⅰb lymph node metastasis rate is low in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.In the three-dimensional radiotherapy era of precision radiotherapy,there is no consensus on whether level-Ⅰb need to be prophylactic irradiated in the clinic.

Objective To examine and assess the clinical effect of Er ∶ YAG 2940 nm fractional laser resurfacing for skin wrinkles.Methods A total of 16 patients with Fitzpatrick skin type Ⅳ and facial wrinkles,were treated with Er ∶ YAG 2940 nm fractional laser resurfacing and follow-up were given every week after treatment,four weeks in all.Response to treatment was evaluated by observers and patients themselves.Photos were analyzed by the photoshop 12.0 software.Results During the four-week follow-up,the skin of patients was more and more better than pretreatment,and a large part of wrinkles was disappeared.The assessment of observers for wrinkle amelioration rose from (6.50--2.33) ％ to (34.80±5.24) ％ and the scores of content of patients was up to 4.00±0.27(generally satisfied),whereas no one satisfied at beginning.Analyzed by photoshop 12.0 software,the data of average and middle values were on the trend of increasing in all these four weeks while SD was basically on the trend of decreasing.Conclusions Fractional ablative photothemolysis using Er ∶ YAG 2940 nm laser is a promising option for skin wrinkles.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of Huanglian shangqing soft capsule in the adjuvant treatment of in-flammation around the implant. METHODS:40 patients(72 implants)with inflammation around the implant were randomly divid-ed into control group (20 cases) and observation group (20 cases). Control group received full mouth supragingival scaling tech-nique,subgingival curettage,root planing,occlusal adjustment,loose teeth fixation or removal can not be reserved teeth using ul-trasonic scaler row scaling postoperative with 3% hydrogen peroxide,0.9% Sodium chloride injection alternately flushing periodon-tal pocket,removing residue until the inflammation control after the break-adjusted+appropriate amount of Minocycline hydrochlo-ride ointment,along with fine needles inserted into the periodontal pocket wall slowly until bag after pushed into the bottom of Mi-nocycline hydrochloride ointment,slow retreated the drug overflow until the gingival margin,no gargle and drinking water within half an hour,once a week. Observation group additionally received 1.2 g Huanglian shangqing soft capsules,twice a day. 4-week was regarded as 1 course,and it last 2 courses. Clinical efficacy,PLI,PD,SBI,IL-1β,IL-6,IL-2 and IL-17 levels before and af-ter treatment,and the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were observed. RESULTS:The total effective rate in observation group was significantly higher than control group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment,the PLI, PD,SBI,IL-1β,IL-6,IL-2 and IL-17 levels in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,and observation group was lower than control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in observation group was significantly higher than control group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05),but the symptoms were mild. CONCLUSIONS:Based on conventional treatment,Huanglian shangqing soft capsule shows significant efficacy in the adjuvant treatment of inflammation around the implant,it can reduce inflammatory cytokine levels in gingival sulcus fluid,but with more ad-verse reactions.

Objective:To observe the clinical effects of acupuncture treatment for gastroptosis.Methods:Forty-seven cases with gastroptosis were randomly divided into two groups.25 cases in the treatment group were treated by electroacupuncture plus ginger-partitioned moxibustion,and 22 cases in the control group were treated by single electroacupuncture.The therapeutic effects were observed after three courses of the treatments.Results:The curative rate was 56.0% and total effective rate was 92.0% in the treatment group,and the curative rate was 36.4% and total effective rate was 90.9% in the control group,with statistical significance in comparison of the curative rates between the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion:Electroacupuncture plus ginger-partitioned moxibustion is better than single electroacupuncture treatment for gastroptosis.

Objective To quantitatively assess the neovascularization within human carotid atheroclerltic soft plaque in patients with cerebral infarction using real-time contrast-enhanced uhrasonography. Methods One hundred and forty-two patients with carotid athemselerotic soft plaque were divided into two groups: cerebral infarction group (n = 44)and control group (n = 98).Real-time contrast-enhanced ultrasonography was examined. Acoustics quantitative analysis was made by auto-tracking contrast quantification (ACQ)technology. Results The enhanced intensity (EI)in cerebral infarction group was significandy higher than that in control group[(14.58±4.19)dB vs (11.26±3.77)dB, P< 0.01]. The difference of arrival time (DAT)and the difference of time to peak (DTrP)in cerebral infarction group was significantly shorter than those in control group [(2.21±0.42)s vs (2.46±0.51)s,(2.13 + 0.37)s vs (2.43±0.48)s, P all < 0.01]. Conclusions The real-time contrast-enhanced uhrasonography can provide a new non-invasire and quantitative tool to assess the neovascularizafion within carotid atheroselerofic soft plaque. EI is re-garded as an independent risk factor correhtes strongly with cerebral infarction.

Objective To evaluate the effect of hepatic arterial chemo-embolization( TACE) combined threedimensional conformal radiation therapy (3 D-CRT) in treatment of un- resectable primary hepatocellular cancer (PHC). Methods 80 patients with PHC were divided into TACE therapy(control group) 40 cases and 3D-CRT + TACE treatment( observation group)40 cases,The efficacy and survival rate was observed. Results The rate of effect in observation group were 35 cases (87. 5% ) higher than that 28 cases (70. 0% ) in control group ( x2 = 3. 89, P < 0.05 ) ,The rate of survival in observation group of 1、2、3-year were 67. 5% ,55. 5% ,40. 0% which were higher than that 50. 0% ,27. 5% ,15. 0% in control group( x2 = 3.4576, x2= 3.726, x2 = 3. 635, all P < 0.05), The incidence of adverse reactions in two groups had no significant difference ( P <0.05). Conclusion The three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy combined with transcatheter arterial chemoem-bolization for unresectable primary hepatocellular cancer had a better efficacy,and adverse reactions could be tolerated.

A variety kinds of cells were transplanted for brain and spinal cord repair, and some types of cells have been used for stroke, which including bone marrow stromal cells, neural stem/progenitor cells, olfactory ensheathing cells, human neuronal cell and so on. The complementary advantages of different types of cells and the integrated application of varied strategies of nerve restoration is an important direction for future exploration.
