Epistaxis is a common otorhinolaryngological emergency with complex etiological factors and varied clinical manifestations. The key to epistaxis treatment is accurate diagnosis and adequate hemostasis. Electrocoagulation is a reliable, safe and effective treatment for epistaxis. However, there are still several deficiencies in application of the commonly used electrocoagulation surgical products. This paper introduces a new type of radiofrequency head incorporating the dynamic circulatory functions of drip, irrigation, hemostasis and aspiration. We aim to achieve noninvasive, effective and accurate hemostasis in the treatment of epistaxis or nasal sinus surgery.

Objective:To examine the expression of TRAF 6 in ovarian carcinomas ,discuss the relation between expression level and clinical characteristics of ovarian carcinomas and study the clinical significance .Methods: Specimens from 102 patients with ovarian carcinomas managed in our hospital between Augest 2001 and December 2009 were included in this study .Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of TRAF 6 in ovarian carcinomas and normal tissues .All the specimens were confirmed by pa-thology for ovarian carcinomas and normal tissues by HE staining .Then, the correlation between the expression and clinical characteristics of patients was analyzed .Furthermore ,survival analyses were performed according to the Kaplan-Meier method.Results:The positive expression rate of TRAF 6 in ovarian carcinomas and normal tissues was 68.6% and 20.5%, respectively.TRAF6 expression was significantly associated with tumor stage and distant metastasis ( P<0.05 ) .According to the survival analysis of 102 ovarian carcinomas patients ,cases in the TRAF6 low-expression group showed poorer overall survival rate when compared with low -expression group ( P<0.001 ) .Conclusion: These results indicate that the expression of TRAF 6 was closely related with in the progression of ovarian carcinomas and may have clinical utility in the prediction of prognosis of ovarian carcinomas .

Autophagy is a highly conservative biological behavior in eukaryotic cells. This dynamic process involves "wrapping" cytoplasmic components and combining with lysosomes in cells for catabolism. The catabolic effect of autophagy can eliminate toxic substances in cells, maintain homeostasis in the intracellular environment, and produce small molecules, such as amino acids, which nourish cells, thereby allowing them to survive. Autophagy can inhibit the occurrence of tumors by maintaining homeostasis in the intracellular environment. However, it can promote the proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of malignant tumor cells. Autophagy can regulate the microenvironment of tumor cells and has an important role in a series of processes, such as anoikis, tumor dormancy, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

The statement on the depth of needle insertion is collected from Neiiing (nternal Classic) and Nanjing (Classic of Medical Problems) and the relationship of it is discussed with meridians, diseases, symptoms, location of sickness, qi and blood changes in human body, time, layers of needle insertion, reinforcing and reducing of acupuncture, etc. The factors are explored for the determination of the puncture depth, which provides the important guidance for the depth of insertion, needling sensation, reinforcing and reducing manipulations, acupuncture effect and the improvement of acupuncture efficacy. The complex and mystery of acupuncture technique focus on the control of insertion depth. In clinical practice, the increase of needle insertion depth may not induce the equal increase of efficacy. The depth of needle insertion is rather relevant with stimulation at the effective acupoint in the effective layer.

Objective To investigate the treatment effect of gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist and oral contraceptive on endometriosis diseases.Methods One hundred and eighty-six cases with endometriosis who were hospitalized in Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Fangshan District of Beijing from Jan.2012 to Dec.2012,were randomly divided into control group (93 cases) and observation group (93 cases).Patients in control group were given Marvelon by oral from the first day of menstruation after operation to 6 months,1 tablet/day,and patients in observation group were given Marvelon combined with Zoladex after laparoscopic conservative treatment (3.6 ml subcutaneous injected Zoladex from the first week after operation,4 weeks/time,3 times).The total subjective symptom scores,efficacy rate,Pregnancy rate and adverse reaction were calculated and recorded.Results Subjective symptom score of observation group was (0.91 ± 0.32),significantly lower than that of the control group (1.64 ± 0.74 ; t =8.73,P ＜ 0.01).The efficiency rate in observation group were 95.70％ (89/93) was significantly higher than that in control group(82.80％ (77/93) ;t =4.328,P ＜0.05).Adverse reactions rate and reoccurrence in observation group were 4.30％ (4/93) and 3.23％ (3/93),lower than that of the control group(16.13％ (15/93) and 10.75％ (10/93) ; x2 =4.854,5.168 ; P ＜ 0.05).After treatment,the pregnancy rate in infertile patients of observation group the was 85.71％ (12/14),significantly higher than that of the control group (61.54％ (8/13),x2 =3.987,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Gonadotropinreleasing hormone agonist combined contraceptive is worthy of recommendation due to alleviating clinical symptoms,reducing adverse reactions occur,the relapse rate and improving the chances of conceiving infertility patients.
