Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of suspended moxibustion plus Chinese medication in treating icteric hepatitis. Method Ninety-two patients with icteric hepatitis were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 46 in each group. The treatment group was intervened by suspended moxibustion plus oral administration of Chinese medication for supplementing yang, tonifying spleen, expelling dampness, and activating blood circulation;the control group was intervened only by the same Chinese medication. The symptom and sign score, and liver function items including TBil and ALT were observed, and the clinical efficacy was compared. Result The symptom and sign scores were significantly changed in both groups after intervention (P<0.05). After intervention, there was a significant difference in comparing the symptom and sign score between the two groups (P<0.05). The TBil and ALT levels were significantly changed after intervention in both groups (P<0.05). The recovery rate and total effective rate were respectively 87.0%and 95.7%in the treatment group versus 76.1%and 82.6%in the control group, and the inter-group differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Suspended moxibustion plus Chinese medication is an effective method in treating icteric hepatitis.

Objective To investigate the relationship between intima-media thickness(IMT)and pulse wave velocity(PWV)in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods 100 cases with type 2 diabetes were randomly divided into:hydrochlorothiazide group of 35 cases,valsartan group of 35 cases,valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide combined treatment group(combined group)30 cases.All the patients were treated for 16 weeks,systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),24h urinary albumin,blood urea nitrogen(BUN),carotid IMT,PWV,fasting plasma glucose(FPG)were measured before and after treatment in each group.Results The SBP,DBP,24h urinary albumin before treatment compared with after treatment was significant differences in three groups(t =2.7875,2.755,2.733,2.645,all P ＜ 0.05); IMT associated with SBP(r =0.669,P =0.013),pulse pressure(r =0.581,P =0.015),FPG(r =0.337,P =0.018);PWV associated with SBP(r =0.759,P =0.001),pulse pressure(r =0.707,P=0.002),FPG(r =0.679,P =0.016).Conclusion The non-invasive indicators of PWV can be used as aortic compliance.The PWV measurement of its vascular complications has important clinical value.

Objective: To discuss the use of butterfly costal cartilage as columella strut graft. Methods: On the costal cartilage that being cut, butterfly graft was designed length of 2.8 cm, upper and lower end thickness of 5 mm, middle part thickness of 1.5 mm. The lower end was designed with a groove about 1 cm in length, the width of the lower end of the butterfly graft was determined according to the degree of retraction at the caudal end of the septum, then insert to the nasal crest. The posterior end of two lamella grafts was sutured and fixed with the middle part of the nasal columnar strut graft. Results: From November 2016 to March 2018, about 150 patients underwent rhinoplasty with this method, follow-up was 3 to 12 months. Two cases had mild nasal tip deviation one month after surgery and were adjusted with auricular cartilage three months later. Three patients had mild postoperative hyporotation and adjustment three months postoperatively, residual had good shape. Conclusions The stability and controllability of the sphenoid columella strut graft are good, out of shape not easily, It is a worthy clinical method.
