Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of Shangke Huangshui medicated gauze in the treatment of small-area deep second-degree burn wounds with fire-heat injuring fluid type.Methods Sixty patients who were diagnosed as small-area deep second-degree burn wounds of fire-heat injuring fluid type in Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2024 to July 2024,were selected as the research objects.The patients were randomly divided into trial group and control group by random number table method,with 30 cases in each group.The trial group was treated with external application of Shangke Huangshui medicated gauze,and the control group was treated with external application of Silver Sulfadiazine Cream.The treatment lasted for 21 days,and then the patients were followed up for 7 days.The changes of Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)score of wound pain,and serum levels of C-reactive protein(CRP),interleukin-6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in the two groups were observed before and after treatment.The wound healing rate,wound healing time,bacterial infection of the wound,and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results(1)During the treatment,there was no fell-off case in the trial group while there was one patient falling off from the control group.Eventually,a total of 59 patients were included in the statistical analysis,including 30 in the trial group and 29 in the control group.(2)On day 14 and 21 of treatment,the wound healing rates of the two groups were significantly higher than those on day 7 of treatment(P<0.05),and wound healing rates in the trial group on the day 14 and 21 of treatment were significantly superior to those of the control group(P<0.05).(3)The time for the complete healing of wound in the trial group was(22.07±2.30)days,which was significantly shorter than that of the control group[(27.07±4.10)days],and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).(4)After 7,14 and 21 days of treatment,the VAS scores of wound pain in the two groups were lowered compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),and the VAS scores in the trial group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).(5)On day 7 of treatment,the levels of serum CRP,IL-6 and TNF-α in the two groups were lowered compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),and the levels in the trial group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).(6)On day 7 of treatment,the positive rate of bacterial culture for wound discharge in the trial group was 6.67%(2/30),which was significantly lower than 27.59%(8/29)in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).(7)There were no serious adverse events or adverse reactions occurring in the two groups during the trial.Conclusion Shangke Huangshui medicated gauze can accelerate the healing of burn wounds,shorten the wound healing time,reduce the wound infection rate and the level of serum inflammatory factors,and has fewer adverse reactions with high safety.

Existing antidepressant treatments are generally suboptimal for patients with bipolar disorder(BD).Several studies have explored the efficacy of light therapy(LT)in patients with bipolar depression,along with investigating parameters,devices,and safety aspects of LT.This paper provides a review of these aspects.Numerous meta-analyses and randomized controlled trials have indicated that LT could significantly improve depressive symptoms in BD patients,with both low and high intensity white light having this effect,while the antidepressant effect of blue light remains unclear.LT takes effect rapidly,preferably in the morning,with each session lasting between 30 to 60 minutes,but there is no consensus on the most beneficial LT course for BD patients.The most commonly used device for LT is a lightbox.However further exploration is need regarding the safety of LT glasses.When LT devices that meet safety standards is selected,the overall safety of LT will be high and risk of manic or hypomanic switch will be low for BD patients.In conclusion,LT holds promise for patients with bipolar depression,and further research on LT for BD patients should be conducted to explore LT strategies and develop LT prescriptions.

Objective:To observe the effect of Yi Jin Jing(Sinew-transforming Qigong Exercises)intervention on anxiety in asymptomatic patients with Corona Virus Disease 2019(COVID-19)infection during quarantine.Methods:A total of 160 asymptomatic patients with COVID-19 infection were stratified by gender and divided into an observation group and a control group by the stratified randomization method,with 80 cases in each group.The control group was given basic nursing in the cabin,and the observation group was given additional Yi Jin Jing exercises once a day,20 min each time,and trained continuously until 1 d before leaving the cabin.The Hamilton anxiety scale(HAMA)score was compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 154 cases were included for data analysis in this study,including 74 cases in the observation group and 80 cases in the control group.After intervention,the HAMA scores in both groups increased(P<0.05),while the score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).In the control group,the HAMA score of females after intervention was higher than that of males.The scores of mental anxiety and somatic anxiety in both groups were higher than those before intervention,while the score of mental anxiety in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control(P<0.05).However,there was no statistical difference in the somatic score between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:Patients with COVID-19 infection will get anxious during quarantine.Yi Jin Jing exercise can effectively reduce the aggravation of anxiety in asymptomatic patients with COVID-19 infection during concentrated quarantine.

China Modern Doctor 2014;(25):35-37
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of topamax combined with sodium valproate for treatment of refractory epilepsy. Methods A total of 110 cases of refractory epilepsy admitted and treated in our hospital from May 2010 to April 2013 were selected and randomly assigned to the observation group and the control group. The observa-tion group(55 cases) was treated by topiramate combined with sodium valproate and the control group (55 cases)was treated by topiramate alone. The clinical efficacy, EEG change and incidence of adverse reactions were compared be-tween the two groups. Results The total cases with therapeutic effectiveness were 49 in the observation group with total effectiveness rate of 89.09%. The total cases with therapeutic effectiveness were 41 in the control group with total effec-tiveness rate of 74.55%. The two groups had statistical difference in total effectiveness rate (P<0.05). The observation group and the control group also had statistical difference in excellent effectiveness rate and ineffectiveness rate (χ2=3.9111, P<0.05). 7 cases of adverse reactions were observed in the two groups during treatment, with incidence of 6.36%, including dizziness, headache, fatigue, anorexia, nausea and vomiting. The adverse reactions were gradually remitted with progress of treatment. No severe adverse reactions were observed, including rash, damage of liver, kid-ney or other important organs. The two groups were comparable in the incidence of adverse reactions,without statistical difference. Conclusion Topamax combined with sodium valproate has good efficacy for treatment of refractory epilepsy,which is worthy of clinical promotion.
