Objective To find a method to inherit the experiences of famous senior TCM physicians,through verification and inheritance research of Professor Tian Cong-huo's clinical experience on degenerative gonarthrosis treatment.Methods By means of database of famous senior TCM physicians and various data explore methods,we performed multi-group controlled verification on Professor Tian Cong-huo's acupuncture prescription on degenerative gonarthrosis,in order to investigate the experience thoroughly.Results The three groups treated by Professor Tian Cong-huo's acupuncture prescription got similar therapeutic effects,and patients' symptoms have been relieved remarkably.Compared with the baseline,the scores of the knee joint ache in the group of Professor Tian,Successor,Senior and Control were decreased 1.20 (t=9.00,P＜0.05),1.13 (t=15.76,P＜0.01),1.1 (t=15.99,P＜0.05) and 1 (t=10.42,P＜0.05),respectively.Significant improvements of pain relieves had been achieved in all groups.No significant difference was observed among the previous three groups(F=2.64,P＞0.05),which had obvious improvement effect in comparing with the control group(t=3.81,P＜0.01).Conclusion demonstrated that the group of Professor Tian,the successor,and the senior each did better in knee pain-relief than the control group.Conclusion Confirmed by our research,this acupuncture prescription proves to be repeatable,safe,reliable and stable.Perfoming inheritance and verification research of famous and senior TCM physicians could help juniors learn and investigate their predecessors academic thoughts and connotation,proceed to the next step,inherit the precious experience through verification and combination of theory and practice.

Objective To compare and analyze the clinical effects and reliabilities of intermandibular flexible distraction and rigid internal fixation in treating mandibular condylar fractures. Methods Of 40 patients with mandibular condylar fractures, 21 cases were managed with intermandibular flexible distraction (external fixation group, Group A) and 19 with rigid titanium internal fixation (internal fixation group, Group B). There were 15 cases with high position fractures and 25 with low position ones. Results During 2-4 weeks postoperatively, X-rays confirmed the condylar fracture healing in all cases with no loosened mini-tinum plates in the Group B. There were 10 cases in the Group A and 14 cases in the Group B with the opening width over 30 mm, and 11 cases in the Group A and 5 in the Group B with the opening width less than 30 mm. Conclusions Both external and internal fixations can attain condylar fracture healing. However, compared with the internal fixation, the reduction of external fixation is less exact and the function recovery slower after operation, especially in the low position fractures. No irreversible damages on TMJ happen in all cases.

Nine patients with tinnitus were treated with tinnitus retraining therapy( TRT) between August and November, 1997. The components of TRT included(1)correct counselling, (2)use of appropriate hearing aid, (3)mask with a low level sound, (4)use of relaxation technique. 7 cases demonstrated encouraging results of treatment. This provides a new method for treatment of tinnitus.

0 05). Conclusions Microendoscopy discectomy via laminoctomy has advantages of less trauma and quicker recovery.It is safe and effective in the treatment of lumbar disc heniation with limited spinal stenosis.

To study the potential basis of Chinese herbal formula is very important for elucidating their compatible mechanism and promoting the modernization of Chinese materia medica. The pathway and method in studies on the potential basis of Chinese herbal formula, such as altering prescriptions, serum pharmacology, serum pharmacochemistry, fingerprints, pharmacokinetics, and metabonomics, etc. are summed up in this paper. The above-mentioned pathway and method will provide the significant basis in studying the effective components and fractions in Chinese herbal formula.

To study the application of simulated-patient teaching in practice teaching and assessment of obstetrics and gynecology,the two groups of students were taught by simulated-patient teaching and discussed cases teaching respectively,and then they were assessed by using simulated patients for clinical skills.The result shows that simulated-patient teaching is effective in improving students' clinical skills,can act as a worthy tool of clinical teaching and assessment.

Neutrophil ( PMN) is the main immune effect cell of killing candida yeast cells .It can recognize different cellular components of candida through a variety of surface and intracellular pattern recognition receptors , phagocytose and/or form extracellular traps to capture candida yeast and mycelia , then kill them with oxidation or non-oxidation mechanism .It can also adjust innate immunity and adaptive immune response in candida infection by interaction with other immune cells .This article reviews recent progress of the multiple subsets of neutrophil , the mechanism of its recognizing and killing candida , and the interaction with other immune cells , to provide new perspectives for clinical therapy of candida infections .
