Theancientandmodernprocessingmethods,activeingredientresearch,andqualitycomparisonbeforeandafterthe processing of medicinal leech were reviewed in the paper. Combined with the results of anticoagulation test on Whitmania pigra Whit-man, the article drew a conclusion that different varieties of medicinal leech had different active ingredients of anticoagulation, Whitma-nia pigra Whitman had active ingredients of anticoagulation with promising heat stability, and the processing technology should be dealt with according to the clinic use.

Objective To explore the effect of rehabilitation nursing intervention on motor function and activities of daily living of patients with stroke. Methods 140 stroke patients were randomly divided into control group (n=70) and rehabilitation group (n=70). The control group received conventional drugs of neurology and nursing, the rehabilitation group received rehabilitation nursing intervention in addition.Before and 5 weeks after treatment, the motor function and activities of daily living (ADL) were assessed with Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) and modified Barthel index (MBI). Results There was no significant difference between 2 groups (P>0.05) before treatment. The scores of FMA and MBI were significantly higher in the rehabilitation group than in the control group (P<0.001) after treatment. Conclusion Rehabilitation nursing intervention can improve the patient's motor function and ADL recovery.

Nasal polyps is a common disease in clinical, with nasal mucosal inflammatory hyperplasia. However, the molecular mechanism of it is largely unknown. Tumor suppressor genes, proliferation and apoptosis related genes and cytokines play an important role in the formation and pathological development of nasal polyps. The expression level of tumor suppressor related proteins and receptors is not constant, high level of these expression can stimulate nasal mucosal proliferation, while low or lacking expression may facilitate nasal polyps cells apoptosis. Both proliferation and apoptosis make a big difference in nasal polyps formation and development. This article concludes the relationships between new progressions in nasal polyps pathogenesis and tumor suppressor genes and proliferation apoptosis genes, which not only helps practitioners deeply and comprehensively understand nasall polyps pathogenesis but promotes explorations to effective therapeutics.

Objective To assess the effect of intraperitoneal interstitial implant of Sustained-release 5-Fluorouracil during operation for advanced rectal cancer. Methods One hundred and four cases with advanced rectal cancer were enrolled into the study and divided into 3 groups: treatment group 1(n = 37), underwent combined hypotonic peritoneal chemo-hyperthermia and Sustain-released 5-fluorouracil implantation treatment during operation; treatment group 2(n = 34), underwent combined intraoperative hypotonic peritoneal chemohyperthermia and early postoperatively intraperitoneal chemotherapy treatment; and control group(n = 33),underwent peritoneal lavage during radical resection alone. Results Digestive tract toxicity in group 1 was significantly lower than that in group 2(2. 70% vs. 20. 59%, x2 = 9. 104, P ＜ 0. 05). There were significant difference on 1 year survival rate among the three groups. The 2-year survival rate of group 1 was significantly higher than that in the control group (78. 37% vs. 48. 48%, x2 = 1. 297 ,P ＜ 0. 05). After two years follow-up the 2-year local recurrence rate of group 1 was significantly lower than that in the control group(21.62% vs 32. 35 %, x2 = 7. 001, P ＜ 0. 05). However, no significant difference was found compared to group 2, which was 32. 35%. Conclusion lntraperitoneal interstitial implant of Sustain-released 5-Fluorouracil during operation is an effective intraperitoneal chemotherapy with mild side effects for advanced rectal cancer.

Objective In order to select appropriate size of embolizing granules and to achieve complete embolization and good therapeutic effect, the diameters of thyroid arteries in Graves disease was measured. Methods Multiple slides of embolized thyroid tissues from superior pole, body and inferior pole of resected thyroid glands were made. After being embeded and stained, diameters of arteries in various parts of thyroid glands were measured with microscope calipers (Olympus). Results Average diameter capillary network of the thyroid body gland adjacent to superior, infreior artery was 0. 12-0. 25 mm, and the smallest one was 0. 04-0. 11 mm. The diameter of isthmus was 0. 130. 15 mm. The average diameter of superior and inferior artery was 2- 5. 5 mm and 3. 0- 3. 75 mm measured by using interventional angiography Conclusion According to the diameters of arteries which were measured, complete embolization and good therapeutic effect can be achieved.

To observe the effect of autologous stem cell transplantation in diabetic retinopathy.
●METHODS:Totally 58 cases (116 eyes) who underwent autologous stem cell transplantation were confirmed as no diabetic retinopathy (18 eyes), mild non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) (41 eyes), mid-level NPDR (51 eyes); severe NPDR (6 eyes) by ophthalmoscope directly or indirectly and fluorescence fundus angiography (FFA ). Follow - up was 6 - 12mo, the changes of retinopathy were observed.
●RESULTS: The total effective rate of vision and retinopathy was 84. 4%, 76. 7%. The results of severe NPDR was statistically worse than the other groups ( P <0. 05).
●CONCLUSlON: The stable blood glucose level and improved pancreatic function after autologous stem cell transplantation might be helpful in diabetic retinopathy, the long effects need to be researched further.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical effect of float needle therapy combined with reperfusion activity for pain induced by cyclomastopathy.

METHODSThirty-five female patients with cyclomastopathy were randomly divided into a comprehensive group (18 cases) and a float needle group (17 cases). In the comprehensive group, float needle manipulation was used at the centre of the biceps brachii belly or the ligature between the affected nipple and breast nodule, about 4 cm beside the exterior margin of the breast, and the reperfusion activity of the affected upper limb and breast was combined. In the float needle group, simple float needle therapy was adopted. In the two groups, treatment was started 7 ± 3 days before menstruation, once every other day. After 3-time treatment, the changes of short form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) scores before and after treatment, the time of pain relieved during the first treatment, recurrence in 3 months after treatment and the adverse reaction were observed. Also, the clinical effects of the two groups were compared.

RESULTSImmediately at the end of the first treatment,after 3-time treatment and while followed up for one month, each item score and the total score of SF-MPQ were decreased apparently than the scores before treatment (all P < 0.05), and all the scores mentioned above of the comprehensive group were declined more obviously than those of the float needle group (all P < 0.05). The time of pain relieved during the first treatment of the comprehensive group was much shorter than that of the float needle group [(94.72 ± 33.67) s vs (162.06 ± 29.16) s, P < 0.01]. The recurrence rate of the comprehensive group in 3 months after treatment was 5.9% (1/17), which was better than 20.0% (3/15) of the float needle group (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONFloat needle therapy combined with reperfusion activity and simple float needle therapy can both safely and effectively improve cyclomastopathy, and the combination therapy is better than simple float needle therapy in the aspects of pain relieving effect at once and the long term effect.
