Cordyceps sinensis is an expensive and tonic-valuable famous herb in China. Due to a narrow growing distribution, a low parasitic rate and a harsh living environmental condition, its wild recourse is not abundant. In re-cent years, with the improvement of living standards, people’s awareness of health care has increased strongly. That is because of people’s over-excavation need;and the natural resources are becoming increasing scarcity. In order to meet the demand for Cordyceps, domestic researchers conducted vigorous studies. Since 1987, four or five cul-tured Cordyceps species have been developed, namely fermented Cordyceps sinensis. Through subsequent unceasing research, they were put into a lot of production, bringing a certain benefits for income and society. Currently, there are four commercial brands on the market. They are Bailing, Jinshuibao, Xinganbao and Ningxinbao. This paper summarized the studies of its chemical compositions and clinical applications on fermented Cordyceps militaris in the recent five years. It will let scholars understand its value of the cultured Cordyceps militaris more comprehen-sively and supply more information for scholars in its further research.

Objective To analyze sonographic imagings of traumatic neuromas of peripheral nerves,and to investigate the applied values of uhrasonography in the traumatic neuroma of peripheral nerve. Methods The sonographic imagings of 38 patients who had evidences of traumatic neuromas in peripheral nerves were retrospectively reviewed by the last diagnostic results of operations. Results Among 38 cases, 2 incomplete traumatic neuromas were not detected, and 1 incomplete traumatic neuroma was misdiagnosised as neurilemoma by ultrasonography. The coincidence of uitrasonography in incomplete traumatic neuroma and complete severed neuroma was 82.4% and 100%. With regard to the echogenicity of 38 traumatic neuromas of peripheral nerves, the sonographic characteristics of neuromas were all hypoechoic. Thirty-three neuromas appearanced like shuttles and 5 neuromas appearaneed like humps. Conclusions The traumatic neuroma has distinctive ultrasonic appearance. Ultrasonography is useful to direct the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic neuroma.

Objective To evaluate the application of high-resolution ultrasonography in the diagnosis of nerve root lesion of cervical vertebra intervertebral foramen part. Methods Twenty-seven patients with root avulsion injury of brachial plexus intervertebral part and 8 patients with schwannoma of brachial plexus root were examined with high-resolution ultrasonography. Thirty healthy volunteers were involved for the sonographic imagings of normal brachial plexus intervertebral part. The ultrasound findings of the patients before operation were compared with surgical outcomes. Results The normal intervertebral part of brachial plexus were shown as hypoechoic tubular strucuture, which could be identified with cervical artery and transverse process used as landmarks for the intervertebral part of brachial plexus root. The detection ratios of normal intervertebral part for C5-C8 and outside part of braehial plexus were 100%. In 27 patients with root avulsion injury of intervertebral brachial plexus, the intervertebral nerve root were enlarged as hypoechoic area, with nerve dissected partly or disappearing, distal nerve parts outside the intervertebral foramen swelling, edema,or cerebrospinal fluid assembling as cystic masses. In 8 patients with schwannoma of brachial plexus root part, the spinal ganglia outside intervertebral foramen were shown as tumor-like hypoechoic mass, with blood supply shown inside. Conclusions High-resolution ultrasonography is of great value for early and convenient diagnosis of root avulsion injury and mass of brachial plexus intervertebral part, especially in community hospitals,which could provide important information for clinical therapy.

Objective:To explore the effect of peer support system on social anxiety and resilience among new graduate nurses. Methods:Totally 36 new graduate nurses entry in 2014 who's Interaction Anxiousness Scale (IAS) score were >43 were selected as control group. Totally 39 new graduate nurses entry in 2015 who's IAS score were > 43 were as experimental group. The control group accepted routine standardized training. The experimental group received peer support, which consisted on conduct group intervention and twining intervention (6 months). IAS and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale(CD-RISC) were used to investigate the nurses'social anxiety and resilienceat 3 months and 6 months after intervention. The scores were analyzed by using repeated ANVOA Results: Repeated measures analysis of variance of IAS showed that, there were significant differences on the IAS scores for interaction between measure time and group processing (P <0.001). The differences between the two groups in the main effects of interaction and time on the total score of CD-Rescan its three dimensions score were all statistically significant (Ps < 0.001). Separate analyses showed that at baseline, there was no significant difference between two groups in all variables (Ps >0.05). After 3 months and 6 months of intervention, the IAS scores were lower in the intervention group than in the control group (Ps <0.001), the CD-RISC total scores and the three dimensions scores were higher in the intervention group than in the control group (Ps <0.05). Conclusion: It suggests that the peer support system could improve the social anxiety and resilience of new graduate nurses.
