We developed a rehabilitation system by using the virtual reality technique and the Kinect in this paper. The system combines rehabilitation training with HMI and serious game organically, and provides a game and motion database to meet different patients' demands. Extended interface of game database is provided in two ways: personalized games can be developed by Virtools and Flash games which are suitable for patients' rehabilitation can be download from the Internet directly. In addition, the system provides patients with flexible interaction and easy control mode, and also presents real time data recording. An objective and subjective evaluation method is proposed to review the effectiveness of the rehabilitation training. According to the results of short questionnaires and the evaluation results of patients' rehabilitation training, the system compared with traditional rehabilitation can record and analyze the training data, which is useful to make rehabilitation plans. More entertainment and lower cost will increase patients' motivation, which helps to increase the rehabilitation effectiveness.

Enterprise and competent department in China start to explore evaluation method and technique,as revaluation of Chinese patent medicine has been paid high attention in recent years.However,many problems of Chinese patent medicine standard itself commonly have been neglected in the revaluation of curative effect.This review comprehensively analyzed problems have to be faced in the revaluation of the curative effect of Chinese patent medicine,such as excessive broad expressions of function and indication,obscure definition of indication,identification between function and indication,correspondence of diseases and syndromes between Chinese and western medicine,feasibility of clinical trials,with the provision of general methods and solutions.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of isotretinoin erythromycin gel, a gel containing isotretinoin (0.05%) and erythromycin (2%), versus adapalene gel in the treatment of mild to moderate acne vulgaris. Methods A multicenter, randomized, open, parallel-controlled clinical study was conducted. A total of 192 patients with mild to moderate (Grade Ⅰ -Ⅲ ) acne vulgaris were enrolled in this study according to the grading criteria for acne severity in guidelines for the treatment of acne in China. Efficacy analysis was carried out in 169 patients and safety analysis in 190 patients. The patients were classified into trial group (n = 86) and control group (n = 83 ) to be treated with isotretinoin erythromycin gel or adapalene gel once a night for 6 weeks. Patients were evaluated at the baseline, on week 2, 4 and 6 during the treatment for the count of comedones (both open and closed), inflammatory papules and pustules, severity of acne and local or general adverse effects. Results After the start of treatment, the response rate gradually increased and severity of acne decreased in both groups. On week 6, the total response rate was 51.16% in the trial group and 40.96% in the control group (P ＞ 0.05), while a greater reduction in the count of pustules and inflammatory lesions was observed on week 4 and 6 in the trial group with a lower severity grade of acne compared with the control group (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01 ). Adverse reactions were similar in both groups and manifested as tolerable local irritation. Conclusions The efficacy of isotretinoin erythromycin gel is similar to that of adapalene gel in the treatment of mild to moderate acne vulgaris, however, isotretinoin erythromycin gel seems superior to adapalene gel in reducing inflammatory lesions and rapidly improving severity of acne vulgaris.

Method Seventy patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group was intervened by using long-snake moxibustion, while the control group was by regular acupuncture treatment. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated after 1-month treatment. Result In the treatment group, 22 subjects showed marked efficacy, 27 showed effective, 6 failed, and the total effective rate was 89.1%; in the control group, 18 subjects showed marked efficacy, 25 showed effective, 12 failed, and the total effective rate was 78.2%. The therapeutic efficacy of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the acupuncture group(P＜0.05). Conclusion Long-snake moxibustion can produce a higher therapeutic efficacy than regular acupuncture in treating asthma due to deficiency of lung and spleen.

ObjectiveTo review the clinical characteristics of patients with gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue(MALT) lymphoma and to investigate the effects of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) eradication therapy in these patients.MethodsClinical data of ninety-five patients with gastic MALT lymphoma were reviewed with respect to their clinical manifestations,endoscopic features,histopathological features and Hp infection.The follow-up data of patients treated by Hp eradication therapy were analyzed.The survival curve was calculated with Kaplan-Meier,while the predictive factors for resistance to Hp eradiation were then analyzed by using Cox proportional hazards model.ResultsThe clinical manifestations and endoscopic features of 85 patients with gastric MALT lymphoma were non-specific.Hp positive was found in 97.9％ (93/95) patients at presentation,and 36 patients were treated by Hp eradication with a median follow-up duration of ( 58.1 ± 29.9) months.Total remission was achieved in 94.4％ ( 34/36),including 24 complete remission 10 partial remission.Therapy failure occurred in 2 patients.3-year survival rate of patients treated by Hp eradication were 86.2％ (25/29). Cox multivariate analysis showed that age ( ≥60 years),multiple lesions and non-superficial lesions were independent predictors of resistance to Hp eradication therapy.ConclusionGastric MALT lymphoma is associated with Hp infection.Eradication of Hp can effectively induce remission in these patients.

Objective Since there are significant variation of the dietary structure recent years in China,it is necessary to re-investigate the fatty acid composition of human breast milk for the presentation of the latest data of fatty acid composition in China. Methods Using a gas chromatography GC-2010,the composition of fatty acids was detected in the human colostrums and the mature breast milk(consecutively from postnatal day 1 to day 7 and from postnatal day 42)obtained from 62 healthy postpartum women in Shanghai and Chongqing,two big cities of China,from Jan to July,2008. Results The level of total fatty acid(TFA)tended to increase significantly from the colostrums to the mature breast milk. No significant difference in the level of TFA was found between two cities. The significantly higher monounsaturates(MUFA)level(44.06% vs. 33.85%,P ＜ 0.01)and lower linoleic acid(LA,C18 : 2n-6)level(18.43% vs. 27.62%,P ＜ 0.01)of the mature breast milk were observed in Chongqing women compared with those in Shanghai women. The docosahexenoic acid(DHA)level of the mature breast milk in Shanghai women was significantly higher than that in Chongqing women(0.41% vs. 0.29%,P ＜ 0.01). There was no significant difference in the level of arachidonic acid(AA,C20 : 4n-6)between two cities. Conclusions The fatty acid composition in human breast milk tends to vary with the extension of the lactation. There is significant difference in the fatty acid compositions in human breast milk between Shanghai and Chongqing owing to different dietary habits in the different regions of China.

Objective To explore the effect of covered endoesophageal stent in treatment of terminal esophageal carcinoma complicated with malignant esophageal fistula in the elderly. Methods The covered endoesophageal stent was placed at the focus of lesion for each elderly patient in guidance by the iron wire and the stent-transporter under the endoscopy or X-ray. Results All of the stents were successfully implanted in 225 elderly patients without technical failure. The fistula was fully closed in all 19 patients. The symptoms of dysphagia and bucking were relieved obviously in 184cases (81.8%). The 176 cases (78.2%) of patients could have semi-fluid food in first week after stent implant, then have full meal. The inspiration pneumonia caused by fistula was brought under control. Conclusions For elderly patients with esophageal carcinoma, when they lose the operative opportunity or can not tolerate an operation, the treatment with covered endoesophageal stent is effective and safe.

Objective To research the significance of application of clinical nursing pathway in patients undertaking glossectomy and forearm flap reconstruction.Methods Sixty patients with tongue cancer who undertook glossectomy and forearm flap reconstruction were enrolled.The patients were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group (30 cases in each group).The patients of the experimental group received nursing following clinical nursing pathway,and the patients in the control group received routine nursing service.The patients and doctors satisfaction evaluation were compared between the two groups with a self-designed nursing quality evaluation form.The qualities of care achieved in 2 groups were compared.Results It took less in-ward time and expenditure in the experimental group compared with the control group.The quality of care,the satisfactory degree of patients and doctors in the exipermental group were significantly higher than those of the control group.Conclusions The establishment and application of the clinical nursing pathway in patients undertaking glossectomy and forearm flap reconstrucition contributes to improve the satisfaction of patients and doctors and the quality of nursing service.

Ten cell strains were obtained from the human gastric cancer cell line BGC-823 by using the method of single cell cloning. Through inoculation of these cell strains in nude mice and subsequent observation of their metastatic capability, four cell lines, C_1, C_6 with high, and C_5, C_8 with low metastatic capability were selected out; and their biological and morphological properties were studied. It was demonstrated that all of them did not show apparent difference in growth ability, but morphologically, the mictovilli of C_5 and C_8 cells were scarce and short; and their microfilaments were thick, straight and well organized. Whereas the microvilli of C_1 and C_6 strains were long and abundant comparatively, but their microfilaments were poorly organized. On the basis of present observation,we suggested that the organization of microfilaments in cancer cells appeared to bear reversed relationship with their metastatic capability.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Gastrodin acupoint injection in treating depression.Method Eighty depression patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 40 cases in each group. The treatment group was by gastrodin acupoint injection plus medication, while the control group was by acupuncture plus medication. The Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17) was observed before and after intervention, and the clinical efficacies were compared. Result Respectively after 2 and 3 treatment courses, the HAMD scores were significantly different from that before intervention in both groups (P<0.05). Respectively after 1, 2, and 3 treatment courses, the HAMD scores in the treatment group were significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05). The recovery rate and total effective rate were respectively 70.0% and 100.0% in the treatment group, versus 45.0% and 90.0% in the control group, and the between-group differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Gastrodin acupoint injection is an effective approach in treating depression.
