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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

Objective To determine the incidence and effect of unrecognized cardiac injury in critically ill patients and evaluate the significance of elevations of serum troponin Ⅰ and APACHE Ⅱscore in patients with critically illness.Methods We measured the level of serum troponin Ⅰ and evaluated relationship between elevations of serum troponin Ⅰ and APACHE Ⅱ score,myocardial injury,mechanical ventilation,intensive care unit stay by means of retrospective chart review and analysis of clinical data.Results Thirty-four(21.4%)of the 159 patients had evidence of myocardial injury based on elevated levels of cardiac troponin Ⅰ,only 9(26.5%)of these 34 patients were diagnosed as having acute myocardial infaction by the intensive care unit staff.Mortality in patients with myocardial injury that was unrecogniazed(41.2%)or recognized(44.4%)was higher than in those without myocardial injury(16.0%)(P

Objective To observe and analyse the application effect and value of problem based learning (PBL) combined evidence-based learning (EBL) in emergency medicine clinical teaching.Methods A total of 53 clinical medicine students were selected.The combined teaching method was applied in emergency clinical teaching.After the end of the teaching,the teaching effectiveness survey and theory test of the combined teaching group was performed,and the theory test scores was compared with the traditional teaching group.Results The combined teaching method could stimulate learning enthusiasm,improve learning efficiency,the abilities of selfstudy,literature retrieval,and the ability to analyze and solve problems.77.4％ of students thought this new teaching method had good application value in clinical teaching.Furthermore,the excellent rate of the theory test scores combined teaching group was better than traditional teaching group (41.5％ vs 15.6％,x2 =7.868,P =0.007).Conclusions The PBL joint EBL pedagogy can overcome diadvantages of tradional teaching and provide higher interest,ability of self-study as well as higher teaching quality of the medical students.It will be worth to spread in medical clinical teaching.
