Objective:To evaluate the security, efficacy and side effects of E_2 transdermal patch (Fem-7) in the treatment of menopausal syndrome. Methods:A total of 60 cases with menopausal syndrome (blood serum FSH >30 U/L,E_2 <109.8 pmol/L) were randomly divided into treatment group ( Fem-7 group) and control group (estrodiol valerate (E_2V) group) for 12 weeks treatment. Fem-7 group changed patch every 7 days and took the 2 mg medroxyprogesterone (MPA) every day. While the E_2V group took the 2 mg MPA and 1.5 mg E_2 V every day. Serum E_2, FSH, lipoprotein and coagulation function were evaluated at baseline and at the 12th week of the treatment. In addition, menopausal symptoms and some other index of security and side effects were also observed. Results:Kupperman indix in both groups was decreased and the mean value of E_2 was increased obviously. Hepatic function, renal function, coagulation function and blood glucose were no obvious change. Lipoproteina was descended markedly in Fem-7 group. Other index of security in both groups was no obvious change. Conclusions:Fem-7 patch is secure and valid for relieving symptom of menopause, especially for the women who is not sutable for oral medication.

AIM: To observe the therapeutic effect and safety of improved extra panretinal photocoagulation ( E - PRP) in the treatment of high risk proliferative diabetic retinopathy (hsPDR).
METHODS: A total of 88 consecutive cases (102 eyes) with hsPDR were diagnosed by fundus fluorescein angiography(FFA) from February 2011 to December 2014 in our hospital . Fifty two eyes had been treated by improved E - PRP with 532nm frequency - doubled laser. Fifty eyes had been treated by standard PRP. All cases were checked by FFA and fundus photocoagulation every 3mo. Patients with persisting neovascularization or non perfusion area were treated with laser again. All cases were followed up 6-36mo.
RESULTS: The postoperative visual acuity had no statistical difference between two groups ( P > 0. 05). In improved E - PRP group, retinal non perfusion area and neovascularization disappeared in 35 eyes ( 67%). Effective rate was 88%. Six eyes (12%) underwent pars plana vitrectomy because of vitreous hemorrhage, fiberosis and stretched retinal detachment. In standard PRP group, retinal nonperfusion area and neovascularization disappeared in 23 eyes ( 46%). Effective rate was 66%. Seventeen eyes(34%) underwent pars plana vitrectomy because of anterior retina bleeding or vitreous hemorrhage. The rate of neovascularization disappeared and effective rate had statistical difference between two groups (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: It is a safe and effective methods to treat hsPDR by improved E-PRP and it was more effective than traditional PRP.

Objective To explere the curative effects of L-carnitine on neonates with myocardial injury caused by asphyxia.Methods Ninety-one neonates with myocardial injury caused by asphyxia were randomly divided into L-carnitine treatment group(48 cases) and control group(43 cases).The patients in control group were received routine treatment;the patients in treatment group were given L-carnitine 0.1 g/(kg?d) on the basis of routine treatment for 10 days.Symptoms and physical signs were observed pretreatment and during the time of therapy.Before and after the treatment,serum MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase(CK-MB) and aspartate aminotransferase(AST) were mea-sured with immunosuppression and enzyme rate respectively,and serum albumin and prealbumin were detected with the method of bromcresol green chromatometry and immunoturbidimetry,respectively.Results Clinical effective rate of the treatment group(91.67%)was higher than that of control group(74.42%)(P

In order to improve the clinical efficacy of the umbilicus fumigation method, the ancient literature with the heat control of umbilicus fumigation method involved is collected extensively and analyzed systematically, and the heat control, precautions and contraindications of this method are discussed. In association with the cases and the present clinical experience, the main factors to the heat control are introduced, such as preparation of doughnuts, filling quantity, size of moxa cone and numbers of moxa cones so that the clinical application of the umbilicus fumigation method can be promoted and enhanced.

Objective To study a improved technique by releasing the orbicularis retaining ligament in orbicularis oculi muscle supension blepharoplasty. Release of the orbicularis retaining ligament could cut off the contact between orbitomalar skin and periosteum at inferior orbital rim, and carry the point of tightening orbitomalar skin in orbicularis oculi muscle supension blepharoplasty. Methods There were 409 patients with apparent orbitmalar fold. The methods of releasing orbicularis retaining ligament and orbital septum fixation were added to improve the orbicularis oculi muscle supension blepharoplasty. Results 409 cases were treated using this method over the past 3 years. All results were satisfactory. No complications were observed. Conclusion This improved method of orbicularis oculi muscle supension blepharoplasty is useful for orbitomalar skin rolling, especially for orbitmalar fold. The release allows effective redraping and upward mobilization of the orbicularis of the lower lid and the premalar soft tissues. This method is a simple, safe and effective procedure for the correction of tear trough deformity and well-demarcated lid/cheek junction in lower eyelid belpharoplasty. It is one of the best choices for lower eyelid blepharoplasty.

Objective To evaluate the changes in the expression of acetylated histone H3 (Ac-H3) and deacetylase silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) in dorsal root ganglions in a rat model of negative phenotype neuropathic pain.Methods Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 250-300 g,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =24 each):sham operation group (group S) and C-fiber dysfunction group (group CFD).The rats were anesthetized with 10％ chloral hydrate 3 ml/kg.C-fiber dysfunction was induced by exposing sciatic nerve to 8％ capsaicin for 30 min in group CFD.The thermal withdrawal latency (TWL) and mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) were measured before and on 1,3,7 and 14 days after CFD.Six rats were then sacrificed at each time and the lumbar segments (L5) of the dorsal root ganglions were removed for detection of SIRT1 mRNA expression (by RT-PCR) and Ac-H3 and SIRT1 protein expression (by Western blot).Results Compared with group S,TWL was significantly increased at 1,3,7 and 14 days after CFD,SIRT1 mRNA and protein expression was up-regulated and Ac-H3 expression was down-regulated at 3,7 and 14 days after CFD (P ＜ 0.05),while no significant change was found in MWT at each time point in group CFD (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The mechanism of negative phenotype neuropathic pain is related to up-regulation of deacetylase SIRT1 expression and decreased acetylation of histone H3 in rat dorsal root ganglions.

Objective To explore the expression of 10 kDa interferon-gamma-induced protein(IP-10)in pathological scar and its role in the pathogenesis of pathological scar.Methods Imrnunohistochemistry was performed to detect the expression and distribution of IP-10 in 28 patients with keloid(group K),34 patients with hypertrophic scar(group HS),and 20 normal controls(group N).The data were collected and analyzed statistically.Results The expression of IP-10 was significantly higher in groups K and HS than in group N(P＜0.01),but no significant difference in the expression of IP-10 was found between groups K and HS.Conclusion IP-10 may enhance the formation of pathological scar by attracting T lymphocytes and inducing immune/inflammatory response.
