Edema, as one of common clinical diseases, could be treated by taking medicines and adopting external therapies with traditional Chinese medicines (TCM). In recent years, there have been many clinical and basic studies concerning external therapies with TCM on edema Data showed that the external therapies are mostly composed of such purgating drugs as Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, Natrii Sulfas and Pharbitidis Semen, heat-clearing drug such as Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex and resuscitation-inducing drug such as Borneolum Syntheticum. The study showed that ingredients of external therapies did not pass through hilum and hepatic system, and thus avoided the first pass effect of livers. They enabled effective components of drugs to be rapidly absorbed through pores and skins, strengthened the effect against edema, shortened the treatment course, decreased side effects, and were convenient and inexpensive. External therapies with TCM could play unique advantages in inhibiting edema in the future clinical studies.

Objective To observe the effect of Xiaoyukang capsule on the treatment of limb fracture healing.Methods65 patients according to randomized double-blind were divided into two groups (n=33) and control group (n=32 patients), postoperative observation group Xiaoyukang capsule treatment, control group were not special treatment.At different time points in all patients visual analog scale (VAS score), fracture healing fracture line score and grade the degree of X-ray, using Elisa method of total osteocalcin and collagen type I amino-terminal extension of a peptide levels (TPINP) was measured analysis of two sets of data differences.ResultsThe patients in the observation group 3 days, 7 days after, 10 days after VAS scores were lower than the control group[(3.49±0.31) points vs.4.69±0.46 points](P<0.05);[(2.40±0.25) points vs.(3.54±0.35)points](P<0.05);(1.33±0.14) points than (2.42±0.27) points, P<0.05).Patients observed Group 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 16 weeks after the fracture line rates were higher (1.59±0.27 points than (1.01±0.21) points(P<0.05);(2.65±0.40) points than (1.96 ± 0.36)min, P<0.05;(3.45±0.46) points than (2.65 ± 0.41) points(P<0.05).③ patients after 8 weeks of observation group and TPINP water osteocalcin were higher (65.37±8.07)μg/L ratio(39.95±7.18)μg/L(P<0.05);[(81.05±6.89)ng /mL ratio of (39.95±7.18) μg/L] (P<0.05).④ observation group 8 weeks after fracture healing X-ray grade level 69.70% than the control group 37.50%, and the difference was significant (P<0.05).Conclusionlimb fracture patients after taking the capsules Xiaoyu relieve pain, regulate the body and osteocalcin levels TPINP to promote fracture healing.

Objective To solve the shortage of plane network using VLAN technology.Methods We introduces the characteristics of VLAN technology and discusses the partition methods of VLAN to realize the partition of whole hospital.Results The network structure was regulated effectively by using VLAN.Conclusion VLAN technology can not only realize the network flexible disposition,but also enhance the network security greatly.

Objective: To study the molecular mechanism underlying androgen-independent prostate cancer invasion and metastasis promoted by vimentin. Methods: With specific amplified primer of vimentin, full-length vimentin and full-length antisense-vimentin cDNA fragments were synthesized by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR). RT-PCR products were cloned into plasmid pcDNA3.1 (+) and pcDNA3.1 (-). The recombinant vimentin plasmids were transfected into androgen-independent prostate cancer PC-3M-2B4 and PC-3M-1E8 cells. The positive clones were screened by G418. The transwell chamber migration assay was used to study cell invasion. Western blotting was used to determine specific protein expression in the cells. Results: Vimentin promoted androgen-independent prostate cancer cell invasion and metastasis by regulating the E-cadherin/β-catenin complex via C-src kinase. Conclusion: Vimentin could be used as an important prognostic factor for androgen-independent prostate cancer cell invasion and metastasis.

The relationship between acupuncture and stress is discussed from three aspects, including is it possible for acupuncture stimulation to be a stressor, whether acupuncture will start stress reaction, and whether acupuncture effects contain some stress factors. It is believed that correct acupuncture manipulation will not cause stress response, however, under some circumstances, such as inaccurate manipulation, improper treatment or patients who are very nervous but do not receive effective intervention, acupuncture is likely to cause stress response. Acupuncture-induced stress response is totally different from acupuncture anti-stress. The possible stress factors in acupuncture effect are explored, which can provide a new angle for the research on action mechanism of acupuncture. From the view of stress to review acupuncture treatment, there are three enlightenments: emphasizing on communication between doctors and patients, avoiding over-pursuit of deqi and focusing on analysis of the body constitution.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the pathogens in the early period after heart transplantation and analyze their drug-resistance.METHODS The pathogens in the early period after heart transplantation were identified and their drug-resistance was analyzed.RESULTS From all of the 121 pathogens,the rate of G-bacilli was 73.6%,the rate of G+ cocci was 17.4%and the rate of fungi was 9.1%;G-bacilli mainly consisted of Klebsiella pneumoniae,Enterobacter cloacae,Acinetobacter baumannii,Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli.G-bacilli showed higher sensitive rates to sulbactam/cefoperazone,cefepime,piperacillin/tazobactam and ceftazidime than to cefotaxime.All G-bacilli showed sensitive to imipenem except Pseudomonas aeruginosa.G+ cocci mainly consisted of negative coagulase Staphylococcus,Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus.Fungi mainly consisted of Candida,and they were sensitive to fluconazole,itraconazole and amphotericin B.CONCLUSIONS To observe the pathogens in the early period after heart transplantation and analyze their drug-resistance are important to control and prevent the infection efficiently for the heart transplantation recipients.

Objective To analyze risk factors for surgical site infection(SSI) in cardiac surgery patients,so as to provide basis for making control measures.Methods 215 patients who underwent cardiac surgery in a hospital between January 2012 to December 2014 were investigated,univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the related risk factors for postoperative SSI.Results The incidence of postoperative SSI in cardiac surgery patients was 16.28％ (35/215).Univariate analysis showed that the incidence of postoperative SSI was relatively higher in patients aged＞65 years,duration of operation＞5 hours,continuous operation,preoperative hospitalization time ＞7 days,irrational perioperative antimicrobial use,as well as patients with underlying diseases such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus.Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the age,duration of operation,continuous operation,preoperative hospitalization time,irrational perioperative use of antimicrobial agents,and patients with underlying diseases were independent risk factors for SSI in patients who underwent cardiac surgery.Conclusion Incidence of SSI is higher in patients with cardiac surgery,preventive measures should be taken to control risk factors such as duration of operation,so as to reduce the incidence of SSI.
