Objective To explore the action mechanism of Yiqi Huayu Formula for postpartum subinvolution of uterus. Methods Fifty female SD rats were selected model with postpartum subinvolution of uterus was made by injecting escherichia coli in vagina. Rats were randomly divided into 5 groups according to pregnancy time:blank group, model group, Xinshenghua group, and Yiqi Huayu high and low dose groups. Blank group and model group received gavage with water;Yiqi Huayu low and high dose groups received gavage with Yiqi Huayu Formula;Xinshenghua group received gavage with Xinshenghua Granule, once a day for 7 days. Uterine endometrial morphology was observed by HE staining. The contents of NO and NOS were respectively detected by Nitrate reductase method. Results Uterus submucosal hyperemia, bleeding, and endometrial discontinuity with the infiltration of inflammatory cells of rats in the model group suggested that the models were successfully established. Compared with blank group, the contents of NO and NOS in model group were higher significantly. Compared with model group, the contents of NO and NOS significantly decreased in both Xinshenghua group and Yiqi Huayu high and low groups (P<0.01, P<0.01). Compared with Xinshenghua group, Yiqi Huayu high dose group was lower (P<0.05). Conclusion Yiqi Huayu Formula could promote reconstruction and repair of the endometrium by reducing the contents of NO and NOS and inhibiting abnormal uterine spiral arteries relaxation.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic efficiency of reversed lamellar keratoplasty for bullous keratopathy, Terrien's marginal degeneration and ocular chemical burns.Methods Twenty eyes of patients with bullous keratopathy, twelve eyes with Terrien's marginal degeneration, ten eyes with chemical burns were recruited in this study.Diseased tissues were removed by means of dissection.Reversed lamellae corneal tissues which had been prepared by cryopreservation were thawed and rinsed. Then the prepared posterior corneal lamellae was turned over, endothelium facing upwards. The diameter of the graft should be 0.5~1.0mm larger than that of the recipient bed. The reversed donor posterior lamellae was sutured into the host keratectomy bed with 10-0 nylon sutures continuously or interruptedly.Results Allograft reaction episode occurred only one (chemical burn) of the total 42 eyes enrolled.The grafts of the rest 41 eyes maintained clear or semitransparent for 1~5 years. Graft edema could be observed within 2~4 weeks postoperatively. Postoperative interface separation was not found. For all 20 patients with bullous keratopathy, the symptoms of pain disappeared. The visual acuity improved 2~3 lines of Snellen among eleven of twelve patients with Terrien's marginal degeneration. The visual acuity improved 2~3 lines of Snellen with four patients with chemical burns.Conclusion The technique of reversed lamellar keratoplasty can be applied successfully for tectonic reconstruction of corneal surface such as bullous keratopathy, Terrien' s marginal degeneration and also chemical burns.The effects of therapy was satisfactory.

Objective:To summarize the diagnosis and treatment process of abdominal involvement in 229 children with IgA vasculitis and to provide reference for clinic treatment.Methods:A total of 229 pediatric patients, diagnosed as IgA vasculitis with abdominal involvement admitted to the Department of Pediatric Nephrology of Shengjing Hospital, China Medical University from January 1st 2018 to December 31st 2019, were retrospectively analyzed in the study and were divided into three groups according to Numerical Rating Scale to compare indexes in different degrees of abdominal pain.Results:The duration of hospitalization was related with degree of abdominal pain, as the more severe the abdominal pain was, the longer the hospitalization time was( P<0.001). The incidence of bloody stool were also proportionate to the degree of abdominal pain( P<0.001). With the aggravation of abdominal pain, the proportion of intestinal wall edema increased, as the highest proportion was severe group( P<0.001). The proportion of renal involvement in severe group was significantly higher than that in non-severe group( P<0.001). Twenty cases of intestinal wall edema with decreasing of albumin were treated by intravenous hormone therapy after albumin infusion as the results of no intestinal complications occurred.Compared with the mild and moderate groups, the white blood cells of the severe group were higher( P<0.001)and the albumin was lower( P<0.05). It was no significant difference in hemoglobin, serum amylase and serum lipase among three groups.The mean value of CRP had no difference among three groups and was higher than that of normal.Interleukin(IL)-6 in severe group was higher than that in other two groups( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, IL-17 and tumor necrosis factor.In terms of treatment, 40 cases were treated with immunoglobulin and four cases with hemoperfusion.The average duration of intravenous glucocorticoid application was related to the degree of abdominal pain among three groups.The longest duration was severe group(16.00±6.91)d and the shortest one was mild group(6.71±3.75)d. Conclusion:Pediatric patients diagnosed as IgA vasculitis with severe abdominal pain whose part of inflammatory indexes increased and albumin decreased obviously should complete imaging examinations to evaluate the extent of intestinal wall edema.If diagnosed as hypoalbuminemia and intestinal wall edema distinctly, hormone therapy should be given after albumin infusion to prevent severe complications such as intestinal perforation.For pediatric patients of IgA vasculitis with severe abdominal symptoms, on the basis of hormone therapy, immunoglobulin and hemoperfusion could be used to quickly remove abnormal immune substances to slow down the disease.

Objective:To develop a novel, flexible, dual-arm, master-slave digestive endoscopic minimally invasive surgical robot system named dual-arm robotic endoscopic assistant for minimally invasive surgery (DREAMS) and to evaluate its feasibility for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) by using ex vivo porcine stomachs.Methods:A novel endoscopic robot (DREAMS) system was developed which was composed of a flexible two-channel endoscope, two flexible robotic manipulators, a master controller, a robotic arm, and a control system. A total of 10 artificial round-like lesions with diameters ranging from 15 to 25 mm were created (5 in gastric antrum and 5 in gastric body) by using fresh peeled stomach of healthy pigs as the model. Submucosal dissection was performed with the assistance of the DREAMS system by two operators. The main outcome was submucosal dissection speed, and the secondary outcomes included muscular injury rate, perforation rate, and grasping efficiency of the robot.Results:All 10 lesions were successfully dissected en bloc by using the DREAMS system. The diameter of the artificial lesions was 22.34±2.39 mm, dissection time was 15.00±8.90 min, submucosal dissection speed was 141.79±79.12 mm 2/min, and the number of tractions required by each ESD was 4.2 times. Muscular injury occurred in 4/10 cases of ESD. No perforation occurred. Conclusion:The initial animal experiment shows the DREAMS system is safe and effective.
