OBJECTIVETo evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Shengji Ointment (SO) (by external use) in treating infective ulcer patients with yang syndrome (YS).
METHODSA multicenter, stratified, randomized controlled clinical study was used in this study. A random digit table was formed in the ratio of 3:1,440 infective ulcer patients of YS from 5 centers were recruited, 330 in the treatment group (external use of SO, exchange once every 24 h) and 110 in the control group (external use of Votalin, exchange once every 24 h). The therapeutic course consisted of 21 days. The ulcer area, wound depth, pain degree were observed before treatment at day 3, 7, 14, and 21, and safety indices monitored at the same time.
RESULTSThe ulcer area was significantly reduced in the treatment group after 21-day medication, obviously superior to that of the control group (P = 0.002). Ulcer areas at different time points were analyzed. From the 7th day of medication the reduced area was obviously less in the treatment than in the control group (P = 0.002). Besides, the longer the more obvious difference. Compared with the control group, the healing rate of ulcer area, the pain disappearance rate, and the healing rate of ulcer depth were all obviously improved in the treatment group (all P < 0.01). No adverse event occurred in the two groups.
CONCLUSIONSExternal use of SO was safe and effective in treating infective ulcer patients with YS. It could accelerate wound healing with better analgesic effect.

Objective To investigate the effects of serum from patients receiving isoflurane and sevoflurane on the invasion and migration ability of human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549. Methods Twenty ASAⅠorⅡ lung cancer patients aged 40 ~ 68 yr undergoing radical surgery were randomly divided into sevoflurane group (SEV group, n = 10) and isoflurane group (ISO group, n = 10). The concentration of sevoflurane or isoflurane maintained 1.5 MAC during anesthesia. Ten healthy volunteers were selected as control group. Serum was separated from blood sample taken at the end of surgery. A549 cells were randomly divided into sevoflurane group (group SEV, n = 10), isoflurane group (group ISO, n = 10) and control group (group C, n = 10). Cells of SEV group and ISO group were treated with 10% serum as respect to anesthetics for 24 hours. Cells of group C were treated with serum of control group. The invasion ability of cells was evaluated by Transwell assay. The migration ability of cells was determined by wound healing assay. The expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in A549 cells were detected by ELISA. Results Compared with group C and ISO group,the number of invasive cells in group SEV was reduced significantly (P < 0.05). The levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in group SEV were significantly decreased compared with those of group C and ISO group (P<0.05). Conclusion The serum of patients receiving sevoflurane anesthesia can attenuate the metastatic ability of A549 cells through inhibiting the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9.
