Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine in treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods 88 patients with COPD were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, with 44 patients in each group. The treatment group was treated with conventional western medical therapy plus traditional Chinese medical therapy, and the control group was treated with conventional western medical therapy exclusively. The clinical therapeutic effects were evaluated after 14 days of therapy. Results Symptoms of cough, phlegm, and asthma were improved in both groups. The total effective rate in the treatment group and the control group was 93.2% and 75.0% respectively. There was remarkable difference between the two groups (P＜0.05). Conclusion It is safe and effective for treating COPD with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine.

The traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has good results in treating asthma at remission stage,treating childhood bronchial asthma,and daily nursing.The western medicine usually takes the therapeutic methods of inhaling aerosol drugs,using anti-inflammatory drugs and undertaking interventional therapy,which have good results in relieve symptoms rapidly,dealing with emergent and severe onset of bronchial asthma and treating complications.The integration of these two medicines can cooperate with each other and exert good therapeufc effects.

Reasonable configuration with assistive devices is a comprehensive project that involves much discipline, interdisciplinary technology. This paper summarized World Vision training about reasonable configuration with assistive devices in Sichuan province.

Primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide.MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a kind of endogenous non coding singlestranded RNAs,which can function as a tumor promoter or suppressor in the development and progression of human malignant tumors.Studies have shown that miRNAs play an important role in the occurrence and development of HCC.Numerous studies have found that the expression of miR-34a in various tumors is reduced and it participates in the carcinogenesis.Currently,the role of miR-34a in the tumorigenesis and development of HCC has attracted widespread attentions.Studies have confirmed that miR-34a can regulate the expression of its target genes and thus affect some key biological processes such as cell proliferation,apoptosis,invasion and metastasis of HCC.In this paper,we mainly reviewed the recent research progress on the role of miR34a in HCC.

Objective To localize precisely cerebral central sulcus on the coronal MR imaging. Methods The serieses of 4 mm thickness coronal sections and coronal MR images of brain were prepared on 30 cadaver heads. The preparation of the brain slices in correspondence with MR scan took the line perpendicular to the midpoint of intercommissural line as base one. The important cerebral gyri of cadaver were painted different colors. The coronal MR images of 6 volunteers were also prepared. The localization of central sulcus on the coronal sections was studied by the comparison of MR images with serial coronal sections of the brains. Results On the section of the central sulcus appearing for the first time, the appearing rate of dorsal thalamus was: left side 93%, right side 97%; the appearing rate of pyramidal tract was: left side 20%, right side 13%. The central sulcus almost disappeared on the section through the posterior border of splenium of corpus callosum, the appearing rate of the central sulcus on the superolateral surface was 33% on the both sides. Conclusion The central sulcus appears for the first time on the 1-2 sections which the dorsal thalamus appears on but the pyramidal tract doesn′t appear. On the section through pyramidal tract, the superior frontal, precentral and postcentral gyri can be identified according to the three medullary branches on superolateral surface of cerebral hemispheres. The central sulcus has almost disappeared on the section through the posterior border of splenium of corpus callosum.

Objective To optimize the culture medium for scarless wound healing in outbred fetal Kunming (KM) mice,and to locate and preliminarily analyze the region with active cell proliferation.Methods After 6 pregnant mice were sacrificed at the gestational age of 15 days,a total of 180 skin grafts were obtained from the back of 60 fetal mice,and wounds on the skin grafts were made uniformly with minimally invasive sterile device.Then,these skin grafts with wounds were randomly and equally divided into 6 groups to be treated with high-glucose Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM),DMEM + 5％ fetal bovine serum (FBS),DMEM + 10％ FBS,low-glucose Eagle's minimum essential medium (MEM),MEM + 5％ FBS,and MEM + 10％ FBS for 3 days,respectively.Then,these skin grafts were embedded in optimal cutting temperature (OCT) compound,and subjected to hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining to select the optimal culture condition for wound healing.Under the optimal culture condition,the region with active cell proliferation was located by labeling and tracking cutaneous stem cells with 5-ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine (EdU),and activator protein-1 (AP-1) expression was detected by immunofluorescent staining.Results After 3-day cultivation,wound healing rates significantly differed among the DMEM group,DMEM + 5％ FBS group,DMEM + 10％ FBS group,MEM group,MEM + 5％ FBS group and MEM + 10％ FBS group (0,3.33％,6.67％,3.33％,46.67％ and 26.67％,respectively,x2 =41.39,P ＜ 0.05).Additionally,the MEM + 5％ FBS group showed a significantly higher wound healing rate than the other groups except the MEM + 10％ FBS group (all P ＜ 0.01).Logistic regression analysis showed that the type of basal medium (MEM:OR =11.717,95％ CI:3.274-41.934,P ＜ 0.001) and FBS concentrations (5％ FBS:OR =24.625,95％ CI:3.027-200.299,P =0.003;10％ FBS:OR =13.449,95％ CI:1.618-111.813,P =0.016) were factors influencing fetal wound healing.Under the culture condition of 5％ FBS + MEM,the dermis and epidermis healed well without epidermal thickening.The cutaneous stem cell labeling technique showed that the papillary dermis and basal layer of the epidermis were the two major regions with active cell proliferation in the wound of fetal mouse skin.Moreover,AP-1 was expressed abundantly in these two regions as well.Conclusions The culture condition of 5％ FBS + MEM is considered to be optimal for in vitro wound healing in fetal mice.The papillary dermis and basal layer of the epidermis are two major regions with active cell proliferation during wound healing in fetal mouse skin,and play important roles in wound healing process.

Objective To compare the clinical outcomes of bone transport technique versus induced membrane technique for treatment of infected bone nonunion.Methods A retrospective study was made on 46 cases of infected bone nonunion admitted from April 2011 to December 2014.They were 33 males and 13 females,aged from 12 to 68 years (mean,45.3 years),involving 40 tibial and 6 femoral fractures.Bone transport technique was used in 37 cases while 9 cases were treated with induced membrane technique.Fracture union and complications were recorded.The function of the affected limb was evaluated at the final follow-up using Johner-Wruhs criteria.Results The 46 cases were followed up for 9 to 18 months (mean,14 months).In the bone transport group,bone union was achieved after a mean duration of 6.5 months (range,from 4 to 11 months) without complications like wound infection or neurovascular lesions.In the induced membrane group,bone union was achieved after a mean duration of 5.8 months (range,from 4 to 11 months) and there was one case of re-infection.According to the Johner-Wruhs score system,34 cases were rated as excellent,9 as good and 3 as fair,with a total excellent and good rate of 93.5％.Bone transport technique led to 28 excellent,4 good and one fair cases in the patients with tibial nonunion,and one excellent,2 good and one fair cases in the patients with femoral nonunion.Induced membrane technique led to 3 excellent,3 good and one fair cases in the patients with tibial nonunion,and 2 excellent cases in the patients with femoral nonunion.Conclusions Both bone transport technique and induced membrane technique are effective for infected bone nonunion.Bone transport technique may be preferred for tibial infected nonunion while induced membrane technique preferred for femoral infected nonunion.

BACKGROUND:Nowadays, the internal fixation materials for the clinical treatment of unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures are broadly divided into two categories:intramedul ary fixation system and
extramedul ary fixation system. However, the effects of the treatments usual y lack of macro evaluation.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the effect of intramedul ary fixation system and extramedul ary internal fixation system in the treatment of unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures.
METHODS:217 patients with unstable femoral intertrochanteric fracture (Evans typing: Ⅲ type to Ⅴ type and R type) were treated by using intramedul ary fixation system and extramedul ary internal fixation system:18
cases were treated with dynamic condylar screw, 67 cases were treated with dynamic hip screw, 43 cases were treated with reconstruction nail, 72 cases were treated with proximal femoral anti-rotation blade nail, and 17 cases were treated with new generation of antegrade interlocking intramedul ary nail. The operative time, length of
incision, blood loss, time in bed, fracture healing time, complications and Harris hip score were analyzed and compared.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the aspects of operative time, blood loss, time in bed, complications and
Harris hip score, the intramedul ary fixation system was superior to extramedul ary internal fixation system. But there were significant differences in the aspects of length of incision and fracture healing time between two
methods. The results showed that the treatment of unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures by using
intramedul ary fixation system was better than the extramedul ary internal fixation system, as the intramedul ary fixation system could effectively shorten the operative time and reduce blood loss. This stable and reliable fixation enables patients to take early postoperative functional exercise, and could significantly shorten the time in bed and reduce the incidence of complications and it is conducive to postoperative hip function recovery.
Therefore, intramedul ary fixation system is an ideal method for the treatment of unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures.
