1.Clinical Research Progress in TCM Treatment for Chronic Glomerulonephritis
Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2016;23(6):130-133
Traditional Chinese medicine has advantages in treating chronic glomerulonephritis. According to the articles in recent years, the therapeutic methods of TCM include not only syndrome differentiation, but also symptomatic treatment, modification of the chief prescriptions, Chinese traditional patent medicine, single Chinese herb, and combined internal and external treatment, which all have achieved some remarkable effects. However, the majority of articles were about personal experience and clinical observation which lack experimental study on the therapeutic mechanism. Therefore, the results of relative researches should be under objective evaluation. A large number of experimental researches on the therapeutic mechanism and standardized clinical observation need to be carried out in the future.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with duloxetine in treatment of depression. Methods Sixty-nine cases of depression were randomly divided in?to study group (n=35 patients) and control group (n=34 patients). The study group received duloxetine combined with 1Hz rTMS treatment on the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex area for 6 weeks whereas the control group received duloxetine combined with pseudo-rTMS treatment for 6 weeks. The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-24) and Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (TESS) were used to assess the clinical efficacy and the adverse reactions before, 2, 4 and 6 weeks after the treatment, respectively. Results Four patients (two from each group) dropped out of the study. The main effects of time (P<0.001) and groups (P=0.029) were significant and so was the interactive effect of time and group (P<0.001). The clinical curative effect of the study group were significantly better compared with the control group at the 2, 4, 6 weeks following treatment (P<0.001). The adverse reactions were mild in these two groups. Conclusions The combi?nation of 1 Hz rTMS with duloxetine is superior to either medication alone for the treatment depression.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the urodynamics quality in Southwest China, and find out the main issues of urodynamics quality in Southwest China and try to find out the improvement ways.Methods:In this study, a two-stage sampling method was used.In the first stage, 10 medical institutions in Southwest China were selected by cluster sampling from March to June, 2020.In the second stage, according to the development of UDS in Southwest China, the sample size estimation formula was adopted, and the loss of follow-up rate in reports extraction was considered, the initial sample size was 350. As the workload of UDS in the 10 medical institutions involved in the study was equivalent, 35 urodynamics traces from each medical institution were selected. The initial samples should also meet the inclusion criteria: ①patients with clear medical history and complete clinical data; ②UDS traces were clear; ③UDS system was water filled system; ④age>18, and 150 urodynamic traces were included in the final study. We evaluated the quality of enrolled urodynamics traces, and the quality evaluation standard according to the guidelines established by the International Continence Society (ICS). The evaluation conducted by two independent urologist with more than 10 years working experience. Artifacts were divided into non-technical artifacts: abnormal abdominal pressure changes, urine volume <150 ml when did the uroflow test, and technical artifacts: non-standard zero setting, fail to record all urodynamics parameters, baseline drift, catheter displacement, misjudgment of detrusor physiological contraction and detrusor overactive in voiding phase, misjudgment between detrusor overactive and bladder low compliance in filling phase.Results:non-technical artifacts: 32 cases were found abnormal abdominal pressure changes (21.3%), 21 cases (14.0%) were found when did the uroflow test the urine volume <150 ml, and technical artifacts: Non-standard zero setting in 28 cases (18.7%), fail to record all urodynamics parameters in 8 cases, baseline drift in 16 cases, catheter displacement in 9 cases and misjudgment of detrusor physiological contraction and detrusor overactive in voiding phase in 12 cases, misjudgment between detrusor overactive and bladder low compliance in filling phase in 24 cases (16.0%).Conclusions:At present, the urodynamics quality in Southwest China need to be improved. The main issues were that the operator didn’t obey the basic operation and quality control process, and the operator did not have enough basic knowledge of urodynamics. It can be improved by strictly carry out the operation standard of UDS, identifying and correcting artifacts in time, and promoting the standardized urodynamic training courses.

Objective:
Under the intervention of modern holistic medical model, the subjective feelings and objective effects of parents and children in circumcision were studied in children aged 3-6 years.
Methods:
A prospective study was conducted to select 2012 children aged 3 to 6 years who underwent circumcision at the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from August 2013 to May 2017. The patients were divided into control group and experimental group by completely randomized grouping, there were 1 006 cases in each group. The children in the control group were treated with a single biomedical model, which was completed according to the conventional flow-type operation. The children in the experimental group adopted the modern holistic medical model, and the full modern holistic medical model intervention was performed before, during and after the operation. The medical treatment process highlighted the overall humanistic care for the children. The age of the control group was (4.19±1.75) years old, and the age of the children in the experimental group was (4.26±1.68) years old. The operation time, the degree of surgical pain [with the pain visual analogue scale (VAS)], the postoperative complications (including postoperative hemorrhage, penile edema, infection, wound rupture), wound healing time, surgery satisfaction rate and fear level of children were compared between the two groups. Measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation (
