ObjectiveTo evaluate the therapeutic effect of Salvia miltiorrhiza and ligustrazine as an adjuvant therapy in the patients with electric arcburns.MethodsFifty patients with electric arc burns were divided into 2 groups according to the random number table, with 25 in each group. The patients in the treatment group received intravenous infusion of 10 ml Salvia miltiorrhiza and ligustrazineinjection for 7 days in addition to the conventional therapies, and those in the control group only treated with conventional therapies.ResultsThe rates of wound healing in the treatment group were significantly improved at 7 days(25.7% ± 3.1%vs.21.3%± 3.0%;t=5.122,P=0.000) and 14 days(60.3% ± 8.6%vs.53.8% ± 10.8%;t=2.434,P=0.022) than the control group. While at 21 days, there was no significant difference between the two groups (99.4% ± 1.7%vs.98.7% ± 2.7%;t=1.163,P=0.265). The time to wound healing in the treatment group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (18.9 ± 2.5 dvs.20.3 ± 2.2 d;t=-1.216,P=0.020).ConclusionsSalvia miltiorrhiza and ligustrazine injections as an adjuvant therapy has a beneficial therapeuticeffect in patients with electric arc burns.

Objective To observe the expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of nuclear factor κβ ligand(RANKL) and receptor activator of nuclear factor κβ (RANK) in bone tissue of rats with chronic fluorosis and to explore the relation between OPG/RANKL/RANK system and bone damage in chronic fluoride poisoning rat and the antagonism effects of Danlan Xianpeng capsule. Methods SD rats were randomly divided into six groups according to body weight (equal male and female in each group): fluorosis group, high dose drug group, medium dose drug group, low dose drug group, control group, borax group(positive control), 12 rats in each group. The control group drank tap water and the remaining 5 experimental groups consumed 50 mg/L fluoride water, and high, medium and low doses drug group took Danlan Xianpeng capsule at doses of 0.8,0.4,0.2 g/kg,borax group took borax at dose of 0.8 g/kg. OPG, RANKL, RANK protein in rat tibial metaphysis was detected by immunohistochemistry at the 6 month. Results Compared with the control group(173.79 ± 5.23, 174.17 ± 5.01,155.63 ± 7.11), the expressions of OPG, RANKL were increased and the expression of RANK was decreased in fluorosis group(156.83 ± 5.80, 157.74 ± 6.70, 173.92 ± 4.37), the difference was statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05). Compared with the fluorosis group, the expression of OPG and RANKL were decreased and the expression of RANK was increased in high-dose drug group, middle-dose drug group(169.67±5.07, 168.08 ± 5.05,162.12 ± 4.24, 170.78 ± 5.01, 168.41 ± 7.19, 166.69 ± 5.78, all P ＜ 0.05). Compared with the borax group (167.27 ± 4.08, 167.85 ± 5.01, 166.14 ± 3.95), the expression of OPG and RANKL was increased in the low-dose drug group (163.40 ± 4.11, 159.49 ± 5.78), the expression of RANK was increased in the high-dose drug group (162.12 ± 4.24) and decreased in the low-dose drug group(171.54 ± 8.06), the difference was statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05). Conclusions Chronic fluoride poisoning can cause increased bone turnover and enhance the activity of osteoelastic absorption by increasing RANKL. Danlan Xianpeng capsule can affect bone remodeling through the OPG/RANKL/RANK system, and antagonises bone damage caused by fluoride.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of compound Qianglizhenxian pill on epilepsy. Methods 94 patients with epilepsy were treated with compound Qianglizhenxian pill, and every course lasted three months. After treatment, checking patients' electroencephalogram again, evaluating the clinical effect according to degrees and numbers of attack. Results After 12 months of treatment, 90.43% of patients got an obvious improvement, while 6.38% for better, 3.19% for validity and no invalid. Conclusions There is a great improvement for patients with epilepsy after taking the medicine. The effective control rate is 92.62% with no toxication on blood system, liver and kidney.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of ultrasonic-harmonic scalpel in open thyroid surgery.Methods Totally 70 patients with thyroid surgery from January 2012 to January 2014 in some hospital were selected as the study objects, who were divided into a control group and an observation group equally. The patients in the control group went through traditional surgery, and the ones in the observation group underwent open thyroid surgery. Then the operative time, blood loss, postoperative hospital stay before and after surgery and body stress-related serum markers of two groups were analyzed and compared.Results The observation group had the operative time, blood loss and postoperative hospital stay significantly better than those of the control group, and the body stress-related serum markers 5 days after operation significantly lower than that of the control group, with P<0.05.Conclusion The short-term clinical effect of ultrasonic-harmonic scalpel in open thyroid surgery is significantly better than that of traditional surgery, which has high safety and lower degree of adverse physical stress.

Objective To explore the effects of coincident infection on treatment response and coronary artery lesion (CAL) outcome in children with Kawasaki disease(KD).Methods A retrospective study of 141 children diagnosed on KD between Jul.2005 and Dec.2006 were performed.Standardized clinical assessments,laboratory examinations microbiology test results plus treatment regimens were reviewed.CAL were visualized by using echocardiography.Infectious agents positive (INF+) and negative (INF-) groups were identified,and clinical assessments,laboratory and treatment data were analyzed.Results 1.Concurrent infections:41%(58/141) of children had one of above confirmed infection at KD diagnosis.2.Treatment response:the presence of infection did not alter the response to treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG),with resolution of fever within 72 h in 85% (120/141) children after 1 dose of IVIG (2 g/kg) together with aspirin administration regardless of present or absent infection.3.CAL outcome:in total,56.0% (79/141) of children developed CAL at the time of diagnosis,involving dilatation (91.1%,72/79 cases) and aneurysm (8.9%,7/79 cases),and no giant aneurysm was found.Most CAL were recovered within 1 year after treatment.Incidence of aneurysm in INF+ group was significantly higher than that in INF-group (P=0.019).Conclusions Coincident infection would not affect on the clinical assessment,laboratory test results and treatment response to IVIG in children with KD,but would result in higher risk of serious CAL.Therefore,children with infection at diagnosis on KD will not only accept active treatment in acute phase,but also insist on convalescent care and follow-up visit.
