Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of felodipine combined with irbesartan in the treat-ment of hypertension and its effect on atherosclerosis in remission .Methods 100 patients with hypertension were divided into the observation group and the control group .The control group was given the felodipine treatment ,the obser vation group was given felodipine treatment based on the control group .The treatment effect ,changes of blood control and carotid artery intima-media thickness were compared between the two groups .Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 90.0%,which was significantly higher than 72% of the control group (χ2 =3.85,P<0.05).After treatment,the systolic pressure,diastolic pressure of the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(t=4.21,5.05,all P<0.05).After treatment,the size,thickness of carotid artery plaque of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group (t =1.98,5.05,all P <0.05). Conclusion Felodipine combined with irbesartan can significantly improve the therapeutic effect of hypertensive patients,and can improve the control of blood pressure ,slow the progression of atherosclerosis .

Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of combining use of acupuncture and drugs on rheumatoid arthritis(RA) in the early and the active stages of by the imaging of bone and joint with 99m TC-methlene diphosphate(MDP). Methods: 102 cases of RA in the early and the active stages were randomly allocated into the compound Fengshining group (Group A),acupuncture group(Group B), and compound Fengshining plus acupuncture group(Group C).They were treated for 30 days. All patients were examined before treatment and after treatment by 99m TC-MDP imaging of the whole body, hands and feet, and analyzing method of random interested region was used to count the ratio of radioactivity in the affected area of RA to radioactivity in adjacent normal bone(T/TN). Meanwhile, joint swelling index, joint tenderness index, morning stiffness, gripping force, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were also observed. Results: T/TN of the Group A after treatments had no significant difference comparing with that before treatment(t = 1.35, P>0.05), while the Group B and C had significant differences(t = 5.31, t=8.97, P<0.01). The changes of clinical and experimental examination in the Group C had more significant differences than those in the Group A and B(P<0.05).Conclusion: Acupuncture therapy could promote RA recovery, and combining use of acupuncture and compound Fengshining had better effect.

Objective To study the ultrastructural changes of hypertrophic scars and animal wound healing models induced by radionuclide 90 Sr exposure and to get the most effective dosage and time in the prevention and treatment of scars. Methods The clinical hypertrophic scars and animal wound models were exposed using 90 Sr applicator in this study. The exposure doses were 200 800 cGy and 200 4 000 cGy. Then the fibroblastic ultrastructure of the tissues from the experimental and control groups were observed with transmission electron microscope. Results Compared with the control groups, capillaries and fibroblasts obviously increased in small and medium doses (200 600 cGy) groups and fibroblastic function was activated. The fibroblasts decreased and fibroblastic function was inhibited in large dose (800 2 000 cGy) groups. Conclusions Small and medium dose of 90 Sr can accelerate wound healing, and can therefore be used in the treatment of early wounds (2 3 days after wounded) ; large dose of 90 Sr can prevent scars from hyperplasia, and can be used in the wounds of the first week after operation; 1 000 2 000 cGy 90 Sr can cure the old hypertrophic scars or keloids; It is useless that 90 Sr exposes before operation for prevention of scars.The most effective method to prevent scars from hyperplasia is large dose of 90 Sr exposure after operation.

Objective To discuss the short-term clinical curative effect of laparoscopic colorectal cancer radical resection for rectal cancer. Methods Clinical data of 50 patients with rectal cancer underwent radical resection from November 2015 to November 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 27 cases underwent laparoscopic radical resection (Laparoscopy group), the other 23 cases underwent radical resection (Laparotomy group). Then observe and record the operation time, tumor diameter, specimen length, number of lymph node cleaning, time of ambulation, postoperative anal exhaust time, postoperative defecation time, postoperative complications and postoperative eating time of the two groups. Results The tumor diameter, length of specimens and number of lymph node dissection in laparoscopic group were (3.8 ± 1.4) cm, (18.5 ± 2.1) cm and (7.2 ± 3.1), while in Laparotomy group were (3.9 ± 1.4) cm, (18.6 ± 2.3) cm, and (7.7 ± 3.4), the difference has no statistical significance (P > 0.05). The intraoperative blood loss, operation time, ambulation time, postoperative anal exhaust time, postoperative defecation time, postoperative eating liquid diet time, postoperative hospitalization time in laparoscopic group were (105.3 ± 23.8) ml, (140.2 ± 22.3) min, (4.0 ± 1.2) d, (6.0 ± 1.5) d, (3.0 ± 1.0) d, (3.5 ± 0.5) d and (4.0 ± 1.0) d, while in Laparotomy group were (210.4 ± 21.3) ml, (118.9 ± 20.7) min, (4.5 ± 1.1) d, (7.8 ± 1.2) d, (7.0 ± 1.6) d, (8.1 ± 2.0) d and (10.0 ± 3.2) d, there was significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion Laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer is safe and effective. It can achieve radical tumor resection, and intraoperative less bleeding, faster postoperative recovery, shorter hospitalization time.
