Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of therapy of nourishing liver and activating blood for the treatment of multiple sclerosis(MS) with peripheral neuropathy(PN).Methods Twenty-six MS with PN patients admitted in out-patients department were enrolled into the study.The patients were given herbal medicine with the actions of nourishing liver and activating blood on the basis of routine western medicine.The relief of symptoms and signs of PN,score of nervous function evaluated by Expanded Disability Status Scale(EDSS),electromyogram(EMG) were examined before treatment and one year after treatment.Results One year after treatment,symptoms and signs of PN were relieved,EDSS score was decreased,the latency of motor nerve and sensory nerve was shortened and conduction velocity was increased,and incidence of wave F was increased and its latency was shortened(P

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of autologous fat grafting in the treatment of undesirable skin expansion.Methods:Patients' data were reviewed from 2011 to 2016, including the expanded regions with early signs of skin complications in face and neck. The effects of fat grafting group and control group were evaluated by follow-up records of expansion volume, skin thickness, skin texture and local capillary reaction.Results:Fat grafting could increase the thickness of expanded skin. It also improved the texture of expanded skin, with 0.83± 0.71 points before treatment and 1.30±0.66 points after treatment ( P=0.04). The local capillary reaction was also improved from 1.06±0.54 points before treatment and 1.45±0.51 points after treatment ( P=0.03). The expansion in the fat grafting group was 2.21±0.57 times before treatment and 2.94±0.83 times after treatment. In the control group, the expansion was 2.19 times when it showed early signs, and no obvious changes were observed during the follow-up period. Conclusions:Autologous fat grafting can effectively treat complications of skin expansion, prolong expansion process and promote tissue regeneration.
