Objective To observe the clinical effect of compound danshen dropping pills on the early diabetic kidney disease.Methods A total of 850 type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN) at stage Ⅲ who met the criteria for DN from January 2012 to July 2012,aged 60 to 75 years [mean age (66.6±4.8) years],were retrospectively analyzed and randomized into the treatment group (n=601) and the control group (n=249).All patients received rational hypoglycemic,antihypertensive,lipids-adjusting treatment and the treatment group received compound danshen drop pill (15 pills,tid),additionally.Laboratory indexes such as urine albumin (UA) and urine creatinine (UCR) were examined 24 weeks after treatment.Results The levels of UA and UCR,and the UA/UCR ratio (ACR) in the treatment group were decreased after versus before treatment.The decreases of UA and UCR had significant differences between the treatment and control group [(39.1±78.7) mg/L vs.(14.7±77.1) mg/L,(1.1±4.5) mmol/L vs.(-0.3± 3.6) mmol/L,t=4.15 and 4.86,both P＜0.01].Conclusions The comprehensive treatment combined with compound danshen dropping pills for 24 weeks can more effectively reduce UA and ACR,thereby it has effects in treating DN and delaying the progression of DN.

Retinal vein occlusion ( RVO ) is a common vascular disease of the retina and is one of the main reasons for blindness. ln recent years, there have been some new understanding about the diagnosis and treatment of the disease, especially some new researches about treatment,for example ,in the therapy of the intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide and anti-VEGFs as well as dexamethasone implant ( Ozurdex ) . This article will make a brief summarization of the progress about the diagnosis and treatment of RVO.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F (TwHF) combined with renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers in chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 2~3 of IgA nephropathy. Methods 109 patients were randomized into the observation group and the control group. On the basis of taking RAS blockers, patients in the observation group received TwHF, and patients in the control group received methylprednisolone. The proteinuria, renal function and adverse effect were observed during treatment. Results At 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of treatment, proteinuria in the two groups was lower than the baseline(P <0.05). During follow-ups, there was no significant difference of eGFR between the two groups and baseline (P >0.05). Besides, there was no significant difference in terms of proteinuria, eGFR and effective rate in the two groups. The occurrence rate of adverse effects was 9.8% vs 27.4% and there was significant difference in the two groups (P < 0.05). Conclusions TwHF combined with RAS blockers can decrease proteinuria, protect renal function and have less adverse effects, and it is a useful therapeutic options for CKD stages 2 ~ 3 of IgAN.

Objective To observe the Alberta combined with Infant Language Assessment Scale used in rehabilitation for children with cerebral palsy.Methods From Jun.2012 to Jun.2013,64 cases of cerebral palsy in Children's Hospital Affiliated to Suzhou University were selected according to the different interventions and were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group,32 patients in each group.The control group underwent conventional rehabilitation training included exercise therapy (mainly Bobath therapy,Ueda therapy) and application Infants Language Assessment Scale for treatment,and the observation group on the basis of the method above,set the action in accordance with Alberta infant motor scale(AIMS) assessment to develop rehabilitation programs.Adhere to 3 hours a day of repeated intensive training.Efficacy in children after treatment was compared,and forceful move and fine motor movements and the changes in development quotient(DQ) before and after treatment were compared between 2 groups.Results The total efficiency of the observation group and the control group was 90.6％ and 71.9％,respectively,and there was statistically significant differences between 2 groups (x2 =6.317,P ＜ 0.05).After treatment,the DQ of big movement and fine motor in observation group (47.92 ± 7.15,42.55 ± 8.1 3) were significantly higher than before treatment (36.18 ± 8.23,33.71 ± 10.16) and the control group (38.13 ± 8.21,36.58 ± 8.06),the differences were statistically significant(t =6.235,5.452,6.137,5.243,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The combination of the rehabilitation for children with cerebral palsy in infants language Alberta combined score rating scale,help to improve rehabilitation results and motor function in children,which is of recommendation and application.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of meglumine adenosine cyclosphosp (MAC) on the cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rabbits.Methods Twenty four healthy rabbits were randomly divided into control group (n =6),I/R group (n =6),MAC pretreated group (n =6),and MAC treated group (n =6).Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury model was made by separating and electrocoagulating vertebral arteries and clipping common carotid arteries in the latter 3 groups after anesthesia.The sham-operated group underwent vessel separation without clipping.L/R group was administered with nothing,while MAC pretreated group with MAC before ischemia,and MAC treated group with MAC just after ischemia.Blood was gathered from jugular vein before ischemia,and 30 min,1 h,and 2 h after reperfusion for testing IL-8,superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA).The brain tissue slice was observed by optical microscope.Results Compared to control group and before ischemia,the levels of IL-8 and SOD in serum were significantly increased and decreased,and the levels of MDA was significantly increased at 30 min after reperfusion in I/R group; the levels of IL-8 and MDA in serum were significantly increased,and the levels of SOD in serum was significantly decreased at 1 h and 2 h after reperfusion in I/R group.The levels of IL-8 in serum was less at 30 min and 1 h and 2 h after reperfusion in MAC pretreated group than in I/R group.At 1 h and 2 h after reperfusion,the levels of MDA in serum was less and the levels of SOD in serum was higher in MAC pretreated group than in I/R group.At 1 h and 2 h after reperfusion,the levels of IL-8 in serum were less and the levels of SOD in serum were higher in MAC treated group than in I/R group.The levels of MDA in serum were less at 2 h after reperfusion in MAC treated group than in I/R group.Compared to I/R group,pathological change was lighter in the MAC pretreated and MAC treated group.Conclusions MAC has a fine cerebral-protective effect and has no side effect.

Objective:This study aims to examine the clinicopathological features, diagnosis, and treatment of pulmonary margin-al zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (PMZL-MALT). Methods:The clinicopathological features and immu-nohistochemical staining of CD20, CD79a, CD5, CD10, CD23, CyclinD1, and Ki-67 in seven patients with PMZL-MALT were ana-lyzed. Results:These patients, with a median age of 58 years, included three males and four females. Most of the patients suffered from cough, anhelation, and irregular fever. No specific imaging manifestation was observed. Tumor cells were positive for CD19 and CD20 but negative for CD5, CD10, and CyclinD1. The positive rate of Ki-67 was low. Conclusion:PMZL-MALT cases are easily misdiag-nosed because of the absence of specific clinical characteristics and X-ray features. Final diagnosis depends on pathological examina-tions.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of treatment for deep burn wound on finger by proper digital artery flap.Methods From March 2013 to October 2016, 24 patients with deep burn wound on finger were treated by proper digital artery flap.Postoperative observation included wound repair, flap survival, complications and functional recovery of fingers.Results All the 24 flaps survived and no necrosis happened.The marginal abnormal circulation of flap occurred in only 5 cases, which cured by dress changing.All flaps kept well in contour, skin color, temperature and texture.Movement function of donor and recipient fingers was nearly normal.Conclusion Proper digital artery flap avoided the deficiencies distant pedicled flap, so it is a favorite choice for digital soft tissue defect caused by deep burn injury.

Objective To study the clinical efficacy and safety of iguratimod in the treatment of active rheumatoid arthritis. Methods Ninety patients with rheumatoid arthritis were randomly divided into three groups, with 30 cases in each group. Group A: oral administration of iguratimod, 25 mg two times a day, and oral administration of methotrexate, 10 mg once a week. Group B:oral administration of iguratimod, 25 mg two times a ady. Group C: oral administration of methotrexate, 15 mg once a week. According to the American College of Rheumatology criteria for judging 20%, 50%and 70%(ACR20, ACR 50 and ACR 70) improvement of swollen and tender joint was judged according to the American College Of Rheumatology criteria, and the adverse reactions were observed. Results After the treatment in group A and group B ACR20, ACR50 and ACR70 were higher than those in group C [76.67%(23/30) and 60.00% (18/30) than 40.00% (12/30), 50.00% (15/30) and 33.33% (10/30) than 20.00% (6/30), 23.33%(7/30) and 13.33%(4/30) than 6.67%(2/30)], and in group A was higher than that in group B. The differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The adverse reaction rate in group A and group B was significantly lower than that in group C:16.67%(5/30) and 13.33%(4/30) than 30.00%(9/30), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); the adverse reaction occurred rate in group A and group B, had no significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusions Monotherapy with iguratimod in the treatment of active rheumatoid arthritis is superior to methotrexate, and has fewer side effects. The combined application of the two drugs is more effective, and can reduce the dose of methotrexate and reduce the incidence of side effects, which is worthy of clinical application.
