In clinical treatment, it is found that certain patients always have some positive reaction points those are relevant with low back pain in the abdomen area. When the simple treatment on the low back is ineffective, the efficacy could be significantly improved if acupuncture or tuina is performed at the abdomen areas, which is called "regulating yin to treat yang", or "treating the back from abdomen". In this paper, with the diagnosis and treatment method of "treating the back from abdomen" for low back pain as principal line, the detailed manipulation is explained for low back pain that is induced by TCM meridian diseases or modern anatomy, which could open the methods for clinical treatment of low back pain and enrich the therapeutic options.

Through two years of experimental trials,a species of fresh snail rich in protein containing 0. 45mg/kg selenium was obtained

Objective To introduce a method of using perforators flap adjacent to the defect to repair small sized skin defect.Methods From October 2009 to December 2013,a total of 23 cases of skin lesions were treated with perforators flap adjacent to the defect.The perforator artery was preoperatively detected with Portable Doppler in the region of relative slack skin.Skin defects with the area changed from 1.5 cm × 2.0 cm to 5.0 cm × 4.0 cm.Results All the flap survived smoothly,with pleased appearance and primary healing.Postoperative follow-up of 3 to 6 month showed no recurrence in tumor patients during the follow-up period.Conclusions Application of perforators flap adjacent to defect to repair small sized skin defect has the advantages of flexibility,reliable blood supply,which obtains good result.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of nifedipine sustained-release formulation(SR)and nifedipine controlled-release(GITS)in the treatment of essential hypertension.Methods 160 patients with essential hypertension were randomly divided into two groups.The SR group was treated with SR 20 mg twice a day;GITS group was treated with GITS 30 mg once a day.All patients were given ambulatory blood pressure monitoring(ABPM)and observed the 24-hour average blood pressure,heart rate,changes in the trough/peak(T/P)values,and adverse reactions before and after treatment in two groups.Results The T/P value of systolic blood pressure(SBP)and diastolic(DBP)in the GITS group was 68.5％,74.6％,respectively,which were higher than those of SR group(57.2％,61.1％)(x2=6.32,7.05,all P＜0.05);GITS group was significantly lower than the SR group in heart rate(t=4.17,P＜0.05);Adverse reactions between two groups had no significant difference(x2=0.16,P＞0.05).Conclusion SR and GITS can effectively lower blood pressure,but GITS is more efficient,stable,safe,small impact on the heart rate.

Objective To restore the profile of the youthful human fa ce, the concept of three dimensions in the full face rejuvenaton is presented. Methods Under general anaesthesia, the operation was perf ormed, in which the lap of buccal soft tissues, the liposuction of part of face, the mobilization and/or repositioning of fat pockets, the transplantation of fa t, implantation of variant plastic materials etc. were applied. Resul ts We performed the procedures for 18 patients using three dimension s facial rejuvenation and obtained good results from February 2001 to May 2004. Conclusion Through above-mentioned procedures, three-di mensional concept is embodied, and the patients not only obtain better effect o f full face rejuvenation, but also improve the facial profile.

Objective:To establish an animal model in goats for curved mandibular regeneration by distraction osteogenesis(DO).Methods:Four goats were used.Internally installed curved mandibular distractors were activated 6 days after mandibular osteotomy on the mandibular angles or mandibular symphyses at a rate of l mm/d for 25~34 days.The mandibles were examined by roentgenography.Results:The arched defects of the mandibles in the 4 goats were reconstructed by regenerated bone by the end of DO.Conclusion:Internally installed curved distractor may be used for osteogenesis in the repaire of the arched mandibular defects.

Objective To explore the importance of the separation and reconstruction of the shared venous sinuses of a craniopagus twins Methods The shared superior sagittal sinus, confluence of sinuses, transverse sinus and straight sinus were separated using microsurgical techniques Meantime, one bypass was established from the superior sagittal sinus and the straight sinus to the internal jugular vein with help of the bypass shunt in twin B (right) The above mentioned sinuses were reconstructed with the artificial vessels The normal superior sagittal sinus and confluence of sinuses were preserved in the twin A (left) Results Twin A recovered with no nervous deficits Unfortunately, twin B died of renal failure and hyperkalemia 22 hours after the operation Conclusion The shunt and reconstruction of the venous sinus are the key techniques for the success of separation of craniopagus twins using the microsurgical techniques
