1.Warm Needling Therapy for Plantalgia in 64 Cases
Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2003;1(3):49-50
Sixty-four cases of plantalgia were treated by warm needling at Yongquan ( KI 1 ), Lineiting ( Ex-LE) and an empirical point. Thirty cases were cured, 28cases improved and 6 cases failed.

4.Vitrectomy of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in morning glory syndrome
International Eye Science 2010;10(3):424-426
We report a case of retinal detachment in morning glory syndrome(MGS). We think that identification of the retinal break, removal of the traction force by vitrectomy, the use of long-acting gas as endotamponade, all contributed to the successful treatment of the disease. The pathogenic mechanisms of the disease and the function of B-scan to the diagnosis are included.

Vascular or endoluminal stent is a stent implanted in the lesion site to support stenosis vessels based on luminal balloon expansion,to reduce vascular elasticity recoil and remoulding,and maintain blood flow patent.Some stents can also prevent vascular restenosis.Stent size,surface coverage,radial supporting,extensibility,longitudinal recoil,fatigue test,material composition,corrosion-resistance,coagulation,surface roughness and biocompatibility(blood compatibility) are performance parameters to evaluate the stents.Vascular or endoluminal stent has been widely used in arterial and venous systems and non-vessel luminal systems.The incidence of complications following stenting is 11.6%,including acute or subacute thrombogenesis,restenosis,or stent dislocation.It is commonly demonstrated that intrastent restenosis is caused by hyperblastosis.

Objective To explore visual-spatial working memory deficits of patients with basal ganglia damage, based on which tried to provide the new method for detecting the injuries in basal ganglia. Methods Twenty-five patients with lesions in the basal ganglia and twenty-five healthy controls performed visual-spatial working memory tasks, including a face-recognition and a spatial delayed-response. Results For the basal ganglia damage group ,the correct rate of both visual- face ( 54.5 ± 9.6 ) % and visual-spatial ( 80.0 ± 11.7 ) % working memory tasks was significantly lower than that of the control group ( ( 64.3 ± 9.5 ) %, ( 93.6 ± 4.9) %, respectively) ,and the difference was statistically significant ( u= - 147.5,80.5, P<0. 01 ). For the patients injured in the left basal ganglia, the correct rate of visual- face working memory (48.5 ± 5.4 )% was obviously lower than that of patients injured in the right basal ganglia ( 59.2 ± 9.8 ) %, and the difference was statistically significant ( u =25.5, P<0. 01 ) ;but the difference of correct rate for the visual-space working memory was not statistically significant( u = 52.5, P> 0.05 ). In contrast to the controls, both the visual-face and visual-space working memory of the group with injuries in basal ganglia,had appeared to be disable. Conclusions The results confirmed that patients with lesions in basal ganglia had deficits of visual-spatial working memory,and that injuries either in the left or the right basal ganglia can probably cause the shiftiness of cognitive function. Therefore, the injuries in basal ganglia can be detected by the visual-spatial working memory tests.

Inflammation plays a key role in the formation of intracranial aneurysm. At present, the pathophysiological processes of intracranial aneurysms are mainly caused by both hemodynamic abnormalities and inflammation. Studies have shown that the inflammatory cels in the intracranial aneurysm wal are mainly mononuclear macrophages, and can secrete various effector molecules, weakening and destroying the structures of the vessel wal . Therefore, the research of the roles of differences played in different subtypes of macrophages and their effector molecules in the pathophysiological processes of intracranial aneurysms wil provide clues for exploring the pathogenesis of intracranial aneurysms and effective targeted therapy.
