Proanthocyanidins is an effective antioxidants and free radical scavenger derived from kinds of plants in nature. It has some advantages that high absorptivity and bioactivity, low toxicity, which contain broad pharmacological functions such as dropping high blood pressure, reducing blood fat, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti - aging, anti - fatigue and preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In this paper, we summarized its physicochemical properties, pharmacologic action and the ophthalmological studies which mainly in keratopathy, cataract, glaucoma, uveitis, retinopathy, traumatic optic neuropathy and asthenopia. With the deeper research and more unequivocal in the pharmacological mechanism of proanthocyanidins, it should make the most of its values in medicine. And some more economical and effective drugs are expected to be provided for the clinical ophthalmology in the near future.

Objective To assess the perception of rehabilitation therapeutics students to their learning environment.Methods The Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM) inventory was used to measure rehabilitation therapeutics education environment by investigating two hundred and forty-seven baccalaureate rehabilitation therapeutics students.Results The rehabilitation therapeutics students perceived the total education environment and four subscales which included perceptions of learning and teachers, environment, and students' academic self-perceptions as relatively satisfactory. Moreover, they perceived that the teachers were knowledgeable, the relationships between teachers and students were better, and this school was well regulations. But the scores of students' social self-perceptions was lower (15.23 ±4.16). Especially, there were some problems in learning approach and accommodations.Conclusion To take advantage of competent teachers, good teacher-student relationship, and proper regulations and overcome unfavorable factors in social activities and approaches to learning is a guarantee of good rehabilitation therapeutics education environment.

Objective To compare the clinical treatment effect of triamcinolone acetonide and compound betamethasone in treating humeral external epicondylitis.Methods Eighty patients with humeral external epicondylitis were selected,87 sides participated in this clinical research,and divided into the triamcinolone acetonide blocking group(40 cases,43 sides) and compound betamethasone blocking group (40 cases,44 sides).Then the two groups received triamcinolone acetonide or compound betamethasone blocking therapy respectively.The clinical treatment effects were observed and evaluated.Results The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score after treatment in the triamcinolone acetonide group and compound betamethasone group was obviously decreased compared with before treatment (P＜0.01),the Activities of Daily Living(ADL)score was obviously increased (P＜0.01);The difference value (improvement degree) of VAS score before and after treatment in the compound betamethasone group was obviously increased compared with the triamcinolone acetonide group (P＜0.01).Conclusion Both triamcinolone acetonide and compound betamethasone blocking treatment are effective on humeral external epicondylitis,but the curative effect of compound betamethasone is superior to that of triamcinolone acetonide.

Objective To explore the impact of combined laparoscopic and choledochoscopic treatment on bile leak in hepatic hydatid disease at a high attitude region.Methods The clinical data of 50 patients who underwent combined laparoscopic and choledochoscopic treatment were compared with 50 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery alone for hepatic hydatid internal capsule excision surgery.Results In the combined laparoscopic and choledochoscopic group,the incidence of biliary fistula after surgery was 15％,the incision infection rate was 13％,the length of hospitalization was (11.6 ± 3.8) days and the postoperative time to take off drain was (14.3 ± 7.9) days.These were significantly better than those in the laparoscopic alone group.The operation time in the former group was (108.2 ± 28.4)min,which was slightly longer than the laparoscopy group.Conclusion The combined laparoscopic and choledochoscopic treatment is a safer therapeutic option in treating hepatic hydatid disease with less trauma,faster recovery and shorter hospital stay than laparoscopic surgery alone in a high attitude region.

Objective To study the influence of fluorine on signaling pathway of osteoprotegerin(OPG)/ receptor activator of NF-κB ligand(RANKL) in cultured rat osteoblasts.Methods Osteoblasts were isolated from skull of neonatal rats(＜ 24 hours) by enzyme digestion,and fluorine of different concentrations [0 (control),1 × 10-3,1 × 10-4,1 × 10-5,1 × l0-6 and 1 × 10-7 mol/L] were added into the culture medium of second generation of osteoblasts.The expressions of OPG and RANKL mRNA were determined using real-time PCR 24 and 48 hours after culturing.The expressions of OPG and RANKL protein were measured by Western blotting.Results ① After exposed to fluorine for 24 hours,the differences of RANKL and OPG mRNA expression had statistical significance between groups(F =30.95,22.62,all P ＜ 0.01),the expression of RANKL mRNA(5.99 ± 0.39) in the 1 × 10-5 mol/L group and the expressions of OPG mRNA(3.52 ± 0.09,4.81 ± 0.15,3.68 ± 0.04) in the 1 × 10-4,1 × 10-5 and 1 × 10-6 mol/L groups were higher than those of the control group(3.20 ± 0.19,3.09 ± 0.58,all P ＜ 0.05),but in the 1 × 10-3 mol/L group,RANKL mRNA(2.29 ± 0.18) was lower than that of the control group(P ＜ 0.05).After exposed to fluorine for 48 hours,the differences of RANKL and OPG mRNA expression had statistical significance between groups(F =26.62,5.72,all P ＜ 0.01),the expressions of RANKL and OPG mRNA(6.67 ± 0.49 and 5.05 ± 0.51) in the 1 × 10-5 mol/L group were higher than those of the control group(4.29 ± 0.07 and 4.34 ± 0.12,all P ＜ 0.05),and in the 1 × 10-3 mol/L group the expression of OPG mRNA(3.63 ± 0.49) was lower than that of the control group(P ＜ 0.05).② The expression of RANKL protein was not statistically significant between 24 hours and 48 hours groups (F =0.07,0.49,all P ＞ 0.05) ; the differences of OPG protein expression had statistical significance between groups(F =3.26,P ＜ 0.05),the expression of OPG protein in the 1 × 10-5 mol/L group(1.45 ± 0.10) was higher than that of the control group(1.05 ± 0.06,P ＜ 0.05) at the 24 hours.After 48 hours,the expression of OPG protein was not statistically significant(F =0.44,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions At lower fluorine concentrations,bone formation is the main activity.But when fluorine concentration increased and time prolonged,the osteoclast differentiation and maturation are promoted,and the bone resorption is the main thing.

Objective To observe the efficacy of combinated inhaled glucocorticosteroid and long- ?2 - agonist for asthmatic children. Methods Forty- seven children with moderate or severe persistent asthma were treated with inhalation of the fluticasone pro-pionate and salmeterol. The PEF value and the mark according the symptom of asthma before and after treatment( week and month respectively) were recorded. At the same time the days of treatment the patient with the short - ?2 - agonist in the first week and the forth week respectively were noted. The subjective feeling and accident of patients also should be paid attention. Results There was significant difference (P

The rehabilitation of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) takes overall concept as its guiding ideology, including shape, qi and spirit. The core is to preserve and promote the inner overall vitality of the human body, and to overcome the dysfunction of human body through activating self ability of recovery. Based on this view, we integrated traditional and modern rehabilitation, developed the curriculum system and teachers.
