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.

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 evaluate the clinical value of fetal holoprosencephaly complicated with face malformation by two-dimensional(2D) and three-dimensional(3D) ultrasonography.Methods Fetal faces and brains were examined regularly with 3D ultrasonography when they were suspected abnormal with 2D ultrasonography and compaired the diagnoses with postnatal or induced delivery results.Results 11 cases of holoprosencephaly complicated with face malformation were diagnosed using 2D and 3D ultrasonography.Among these cases,there were 4 with single median mostril,2 with proboscis,2 with cheiloschisis,2 with multipte face malformation,1 with arhinia.They were all comfirmed by postnatal or induced delivery.Conclusions 3D ultrasonography provides visualized,three-dimensional,more precise and clearly fetal structure imagine.It has important supplement to 2D ultrasonography.2D ultrasonography combined with 3D ultrasonography can greatly enhance the diagnosis rate to holoprosencephaly complicated with face malformation.

The purpose of this study is to investagate the meaning of systolic time intervals (STI) in evaluating cardiac functional condition of athletes.1. STI and step test were examined on 13 sprinters, 8 jumpers, 5 throwers and 5 distance runners during early, middle and the last phases in summer training season.No significant changes of the left ventricular ejection time (LVET), the pre-ejection period (PEP) and PEP/LVET ratio were found from examinations on athletes in the three different phases.The cases were divided into two groups of PEP/LVET ratio increased more than 0.05 (N=8) and PEP/LVET ratio decreased more than 0.05 (N=10) by the different of PEP/LVET ratio between linked phases examinations. Athough two of PEP/LVET ratio of each group were different evidently (P

To evaluate the clinical effects of metronidazole-doxycycline gel for treatment of periodontitis, 18 adult patients with periodonti-tis, who had at least 4 mm of probing depth (PD) on the symmetric quadrant, were selected to participate in a randomised study with split-mouth design. Patients of the experimental group were given with metronidazole-doxycycline gel locally once a day for 7 days,while those of the control group were given with metronidazoce stilus. PD, PLI(plaque index), GI(gingival index), BI(bleeding index) were examined on days 0 and 7 of treatment. The results showed that all clinical parametres of the experimental group were better than those of the control group . Therefore, metronidazole-doxycycline gel is effective in the treatment of periodontitis.

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 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.
