Non-Camellia Tea, as an integral part of Chinese tea culture for several centuries, is important to prevent chronic metabolic diseases. However, it was not systematically studied until academician Pei-gen Xiao defined it. Hereby, Non-Camellia Tea was reviewed systematically in definition, classification, traditional functions, chemical compositions, and pharmacology.

Objective To explore the feasibility and reliability of thoracoscopic surgery in the treatment of esophageal leiomyoma.Methods According to the tumor site selection of incision,7 patients with esophageal leiomyoma were taken myomectomy by thoracoscopic surgery.Results All cases were cured,and there was no death and serious complication.The patients were followed up for 3 to 24 months.There was no recurrence.Conclusion The myomectomy by thoracoscopic surgery would be an alternative to open surgery for patients with esophageal leiomyomas,which is safe and effective.

Objective To explore epicanthus correction by transverse incision method and concurrent double-eyelid incision operation.Methods The transverse straight-line incision was performed in new inner canthus to the original canthal corner point; after the original inner canthus corner point was reached,the oblique-line parallel incision was performed along the lower eyelid so that full subcutaneous separation was obtained on the upper and lower incision; the malpositioned isomerous orbicular muscle and thickened tissue were released and excised so that the epicanthus skin was naturally restored; the superficial head of the inner canthus ligament was folded and sutured when necessary ; after small cat ears at the temporal side of the inner canthal incision was removed,routine double eyelid plasty was then performed,but the double eyelid and the inner canthus incisions were not continuous.Results The procedures were clinically applied in 258 cases and followed up for 3-18 months,showing that the epicanthus has disappeared,new inner canthus was in good appearance,the scar was not obvious,recurrence of the epicanthus was not found and double eyelids were beautiful in appearance.Conclusions The epicanthus correction by transverse incision and concurrent double-eyelid plasty is a simple and ideal approach for correction of single-edged eyelid with epicanthus and it is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective To compare the surgical modes of cholecystectomy in patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods The intraoperative blood loss, operation time, duration of hospital stay and incidence of complications were respectively compared in 46 patients with diabetes receiving either laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC, n=23) or open cholecystectomy (OC, n=23). Results In the Group LC and the Group OC, the intraoperative blood loss was (80?23) ml and (120?40) ml, respectively ( t = -4.518 , P = 0.000), the operation time was (45?20) min and (69?28) min, respectively ( t =-3.345, P =0.002), and the hospital stay was (6?2) d and (11?3) d, respectively ( t =-6.651, P =0.000). There were no statistical significances between the two groups in the incidence of complications. Conclusions LC can be performed safely in patients with diabetes mellitus. It offers the advantages over OC in less blood loss, shorter operative time and shorter hospital stay.

Objective To explore the relationship of the level of serum selenium and infantile diarrhea,provide foundation for establishing the therapeutic criteria.Methods Seventy-eight diarrhea children was enrolled in this study,6 -24 months old.Thirty children with acute diarrhea (AD group),26 children with persistent diarrhea (PD group) and 22 children with chronic diarrhea (CD group).The level of serum selenium was measured and compared with another 30 healthy children (control group) of matched sex and age.The level of serum selenium of CD group was compared before and after the recovery.Results The level of serum selenium in AD group and PD group had no significant difference compared with control group [ (51.34 ± 4.84),(48.14 ± 3.05 ) μ g/L vs.(55.08 ± 5.59 ) μ g/L ] (P＞0.05 ).But the level of serum selenium in CD group was significantly lower than that in control group [ (42.13 ± 5.16) μ g/L vs.(55.08 ±5.59) μg/L] (P＜0.05).After treatment for 1 month,the level of serum selenium in CD group was significantly increased than before treatment [ (53.76 ± 8.38 ) μ g/L vs.(42.13 ± 5.16) μ g/L ] (P＜0.05 ).Conclusions The nosogenesis of chronic diarrhea may relate with the level of serum selenium decrease.Therapeutic selenium supplement is important in children with chronic diarrhea.

Objective To investigate the influence of perioperative continuing aspirin therapy on tooth extraction surgery in elderly patients with coronary heart disease.Methods A total of 926 patients with coronary heart disease who required tooth extraction were enrolled in this study.Among them,241 patients discontinued aspirin therapy before tooth extraction,685 patients continued aspirin therapy before tooth extraction.The entering rate of operation was evaluated.100 patients continuing aspirin and 100 patients discontinuing aspirin were randomly selected.Systemic pressure,diastolic pressure and heart rate before and after tooth extraction were detected.100 matched healthy elderly patients were selected as normal control group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the risk for tooth extraction.Results The entering rate of operation was 67.9％ (131 cases) in 193 patients with angina pectoris discontinuing aspirin therapy and 82.1 ％ (312 cases) in 380 patients with angina pectoris continuing aspirin therapy (x2 =14.77,P＜0.01).The entering rate of operation was 41.7％ (20 cases) in 48 patients undergoing coronary revascularization and discontinuing aspirin therapy,and 80.7％ (312 cases) in 305 patients undergoing coronary revascularization and continuing aspirin therapy (x2=33.95,P＜0.01).The changes in systolic blood pressure before versus after dental extraction had a significant difference between the discontinuing aspirin group and control group [(15.9±5.5) mmHg vs.(12.2±4.7)mmHg,P＜0.05,1 mmHg=0.133 kPa],while had no significant difference between the continuing aspirin group and control group [(13.6±4.5) mmHg vs.(12.2±4.7) mmHg,P＞0.05].There were no significant differences in changes in diastolic blood pressure and heart rate in the intraoperative period between the patients and controls (P＞0.05).The bleeding rate in patients continuing aspirin therapy was not significantly different as compared with control group (P＞ 0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that perioperative discontinuing aspirin therapy remained the second significant risk factor for tooth extraction.Conclusions Preoperative administration of aspirin should be continued in dental extraction surgery in elderly patients with coronary heart disease.

Objective To investigate the memory monitoring ability in patients with hepatolenticular degeneration(HLD) and explore the mechanism of their memory impairment.Methods The feeling-of-knowing (FOK) paradigm of episodic memory(EM) and semantic memory(SM)were established and subsequently applied to 30 HLD patients and 30 healthy control(HC) participants who were matched in age and educational level.Results Compared with healthy control group (FOK-EM recall (64.17 ± 29.21) ％ ; FOK-SM recall (84.72 ± 11.44)％),the FOK-EM recall((26.55±20.92)％) and FOK-SM recall((53.93±28.42)％) in HLD patients were significantly lower(t=-5.140,P＜0.01 ; t=-5.123,P＜0.01).The positive judgment and correct recognition of FOK-EM ((50.64±29.43) ％) and the negative judgment and correct recognition of FOK-EM((12.80± 18.32) ％) in the HLD group were significantly different from the HC group (the positive judgment and correct recognition of FOK-EM:(75.15±31.73)％ and the false judgment and correct recognition of FOK-EM:(1.81±5.41)％; t=-2.693,P＜0.05 ; t=3.026,P＜0.01).Most importantly,the stroop effect was positively correlated with the negative judgment and correct recognition of FOK-EM in HLD group(r=0.601,P＜0.01).Conclusion The results show that the HLD group underestimate their memory performance on episodic FOK,and the impairment of memory monitoring is positively correlated with the deficit of executive function,indicating that the prefrontal impairment can be an influential factor of memory disorder in HLD,whereas the unimpaired semantic metamemory FOK indicates the episodic and semantic metamemory monitoring may depend on different neural network.

Objective To compare the reliability and effectiveness of anterolateral thigh flap with double vein anastomosis or one vein anastomosis for reconstruction of head and neck defects.Methods Two hundred and sixty four cases of anterolateral thigh flap transfers for head and neck reconstruction from January,2013 to September,2013 in the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University were reviewed.260 patients were randomly divided into 2 groups.In the experimental group,there were 138 patients 140 cases of anterolateral thigh flap with one vein one artery anastomosis.In the control group,there were 122 patients 124 cases of anterolateral thigh flap with double vein one artery anastomosis.Results Among 264 anterolateral thigh flaps,the overall success rate of free flap was 98.1％ (259/264),5 free flaps were lost.In the experimental group,there were 6 free flaps occurred venous thrombosis,two of them were lost.In the control group,there were 5 cases occurred venous thrombosis,three of them were lost.No arterial thrombosis occurred in both groups.The time of micromanipulation was 18 to 101 min,with the average of 47 min in the experimental group.In the control group,the time was 45 to 133 min,with the average of 71 min.(P =0.0003).Conclusion Anterolateral thigh flap with one vein one artery anastomosis for head and neck reconstruction did not affect the survival rate but it can absolutely reduce the operation time.
