Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of the homemade traditional Chinese medicine bathing prescription combined with Thymalfasin and Isotretinoin treatment for Verruca Plantaris.Methods A total of 120 patients with Verruca Plantaris were randomly divided into 3 groups according to the random number table method (each group 40). The drug therapy group was given Thymalfasin and Isotretinoin to treatment; and the Chinese medicine washing group was given traditional Chinese medicine wash-out on the basis of drug therapy; and the physical therapy group was given liquid nitrogen freezing treatment on the basis of drug therapy. All the groups were treated 12 weeks and follow-up 3 months. Four weeks were a course, and a total of 3 courses. After the treatment, the symptom grading scores (number of skin lesions, the size of skin lesions, the degree of pain and the quality of life) was compared, and the clinical effect rate was evaluated and the recurrence rate was observed.Results Twelve weeks after treatment, Chinese medicine washing group total effective rate was 97.5% (39/40), drug treatment group 87.5% (35/40), and physical treatment group 90.0% (36/40). The Chinese medicine washing group total effective rate was superior to the drug therapy and physicaltherapy groups (Z values were -3.463,-3.122,P values were 0.001, 0.002). after treatment, the number of lesions scores (2.0 ± 1.1 vs. 2.8 ± 1.5, 2.7 ± 1.6,F=3.787), the size of the lesion scores (2.3 ± 1.7 vs. 3.2 ± 1.3, 3.1 ± 1.3, F=4.657), pain degree and the quality of life scores (0.4 ± 0.5 vs. 1.0 ± 1.2, 1.0 ± 1.0,F=5.353) in the Chinese medicine washing group were significantly higher than those in the drug therapy and physical therapy groups (P<0.01). After follow-up period, the recurrence rate of Chinese medicine washing group was 10.3% (4/39), the drug treatment group 25.7% (9/35), the physical therapy group 41.7% (15/36). The difference among 3 groups was statistically significant (Z=-3.188,P<0.01).Conclusions The traditional Chinese medicine combined with Thymalfasin and Isotretinoin could reduce the number of skin lesions, narrow the range of skin lesions and reduce the degree of pain, and improve the quality of life.

Objective To know the ability of rural health doctors, find out the scope of job satis-faction and desire of training and extending for chosen extending rural health doctors. Methods Various factors were analyzed, which affect the appropriate health technology extension in rural areas based on the study in Liaoning province with the method of the questionnaire and the categorical data statistics. Results The quality of medical human resources in rural area was low. The main influencing factors for training were practicality of the training, rescannable time and whether increasing income. Meanwhile, The appropriate health technology extension was affected by the rationality, validity, safety of techniques, acceptance degrees of patients as well as the individual professional basis. Conclusion It was necessary to focus on continued medical education to improve the rural doctor's ability. Some tactics was also put forward to promote the technology extension effect. This study provided some suggestions which could be used as references for the government making decision.

Objective To analyze the application characteristics of acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia(PHN)using complex networks;To provide clinical acupuncture and moxibustion treatment with application basis for acupoint selection,acupuncture and moxibustion,and treatment ideas.Methods The clinical research literature on acupuncture and moxibustion treatment for PHN was retrieved from CNKI,Wanfang Data,VIP,PubMed and Web of Science.The literature was screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,and Excel 2019 was used to establish an acupuncture and moxibustion treatment PHN database.SPSS Modeler 18.0 software was used for modeling and association rule analysis,and Gephi 0.10.1 software was used for complex network analysis.Results Totally 237 articles were included,and 262 acupuncture and moxibustion prescriptions data were extracted,involving a total of 115 acupoints,with a total use frequency of 1 432 times.The top 10 most frequently used acupoints were Ashi acupoint(214 times)and Jiaji acupoint(198 times),Zusanli(74 times),Taichong(74 times),Sanyinjiao(66 times),Hegu(65 times),Yanglingquan(62 times),Xuehai(60 times),Zhigou(53 times),and Quchi(52 times).The association rule analysis showed that the acupoint combination with the highest correlation was Ashi acupoint-Jiaji acupoint.K-core hierarchical analysis and community analysis on the complex network of the acupoint prescriptions obtained two core acupoint groups.Therapy analysis showed that filiform needle acupuncture was the most commonly used intervention for acupuncture treatment of PHN;syndrome type-acupoint analysis showed that the syndrome types with the highest frequency of PHN were liver meridian heat stagnation,blood stasis and collaterals obstruction,and spleen meridian damp-heat;tonic and diarrhea-acupoint analysis showed that the main operating techniques were neutral-tonifying and neutral-discharging.Conclusion Acupuncture and moxibustion treatment for PHN mainly selects local acupoints,Ashi acupoint and Jiaji acupoint are often selected,and focusing on the cooperation with distal acupoints.The external and internal meridians are mostly selected according to different syndrome types.The operation is performed using neutral-tonifying and neutral-discharging techniques.Commonly used filiform acupuncture combined with electro-acupuncture,pricking,cupping and other therapies.The application characteristics can provide clinical reference for the treatment of PHN.

As a type of prebiotics and dietary fiber, inulin performs plenty of significant physiological functions and is applied in food and pharmaceutical fields. Inulosucrase from microorganisms can use sucrose as the substrate to synthesize inulin possessing higher molecular weight than that from plants. In this work, a hypothetical gene coding inulosucrase was selected from the GenBank database. The catalytic domain was remained by N- and C- truncation strategies, constructing the recombinant plasmid. The recombinant plasmid was expressed in E. coli expression system, and after purifying the crude enzyme by Ni²⁺ affinity chromatography, a recombinant enzyme with a molecular weight of approximately 65 kDa was obtained. The optimal pH and temperature of the recombinant enzyme were 5.5 and 45 °C, respectively, when sucrose was used as the sole substrate. The activity of this enzyme was inhibited by various metal ions at different degrees. After purifying the produced polysaccharide, nuclear magnetic resonance analysis was used to determine that the polysaccharide was inulin connected by β-(2,1) linkages. Finally, the conditions for the production of inulin were optimized. The results showed that the inulin production reached the maximum, approximately 287 g/L after 7 h, when sucrose concentration and enzyme dosage were 700 g/L and 4 U/mL, respectively. The conversion rate from sucrose to inulin was approximately 41%.
