1.Effect of Gui-Zhi Fu-Ling Wan on HIF-1α and VEGF in Patients with Endometriosis
World Science and Technology-Modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2014;(5):1178-1181
This study was aimed to explore effect of Gui-Zhi Fu-Ling W an (GZFLW) on HIF-1α and vascular en-dothelial growth factor (VEGF) in patients with endometriosis. A total of 68 endometriosis patients in the First Peo-ple's Hospital of Xining from June 2011 to June 2013 were included. All patients received treatment of GZFLW, once a day. After one-month treatment, the treatment efficacy was analyzed. The endometrial tissues (both ectopic endometrium and eutopic endometrium) were obtained before and after treatment. The protein levels of HIF-1α and VEGF as well as the relationship of HIF-1α and VEGF were analyzed by SP immunohistochemistry. The results showed that the total treatment efficacy was 86.76%. Compared with pretreatment, the posttreatment protein levels of HIF-1α and VEGF were significantly reduced (P< 0.05). The decreasing of VEGF protein level and HIF-1α expres-sion level were positively correlated (P< 0.05). It was concluded that GZFLW had better efficacy in the treatment of endometriosis. One of the reasons may be the downregulation of protein levels of HIF-1α and VEGF in endometriosis tissues.
2.Development and Quality Evaluation of Evidence-based Clinical Practice Guidelines of Chinese Medicine.
Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine 2016;36(1):11-15
More attentions have been paid to the development of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines (ECPGs) of Chinese medicine (CM). International guideline evaluation instruments such as Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE I) has been gradually applied in ECPGs quality evaluation of CM. Nowadays, there are some certain methodological defects in partial ECPGs of Chinese medicine, with relatively low applicability and slowly update. It is suggested to establish technical specifications of CM-ECPGs in accordance with the characteristics of CM and international general specification, strengthen the quality evaluation of CM-ECPGs, attach great importance to the regularly update as well as popularization and application of CM-ECPGs.

Based on JCI standard,conduct nursing practice area activities themed as the Warmness,Safe and Painless in the emergency department and outpatient department,deepen the connotation of nursing service.Use PDCA to achieve improvement simultaneously.In all these ways,we improved nursing quality,decreased sentinel event and increased satisfactory rate of the patients,enhance the nursing staff 's overall image,promote harmonious relations between nurses and patients.

·AIM: To investigate a surgical method of modified lensectomy within combined lensectomy and vitrectomy surgery in traumatic eyes.·METHODS: Clinical records were studied retrospectively for a series of consecutive 27 traumatic patients who were performed vitrectomy combined with lensectomy surgery. A modified lensectomy through pars plana incision of sclera was performed to these cases and lens capsule was reserved. It was then combined with vitreous and retinal operations.·RESULTS: All lens were removed completely with lens capsule remained. All cases achieved improved visual acuity.Intraocular pressure (IOP) in all eyes was in normal range after surgery.·CONCLUSION: The modified lensectomy is a safe and effective surgery manner which has few complications and is more suitable for traumatic eyes in the combined lensectomy and vitrectomy surgery.KEYWORDS:ocular trauma; lensectomy; vitrectomy
