Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture plus laser intravenous irradiation therapy on dysfunction caused by craniocerebral injury. Methods One hundred and seventy cases of craniocerebral injury were randomly and equally divided into a treatment group and a control group. The control group was managed with routine treatment, while the treatment group with the electroacupuncture plus the laser intravenous irradiation on the basis of the routine treatment. Results After the treatment, there were significant differences between the two groups in terms of Glasgow Outcome Scale(GOS), Dyscinesia Scale(DS) and Karnofsky Performance Scale(KPS) evaluations. Conclusion The therapeutic effect and clinical outcome of electroacupuncture plus intravenous laser irradiation is significantly better than that in control group, indicating that electroacupuncture plus intravenous laser irradiation is a better therapeutic option for improvement of motor functions.

Objective To observe the effect of Morita therapy on self-esteem level and life satisfaction in schizophrenic patients. Methods 140 schizophrenic patients received Morita therapy, and followed up for 1 year. Self- esteem Scale (SES), Life Satisfaction Index B (LSIB), and Personal and Social Performance scale (PSP) were evaluated. Results The scores of SES and LSIB significantly improved after treatment (P=0.000). 117 cases (83.57%) were in stable condition; 20 cases (14.29%) were in unstable condition with poor medication compliance; only 3 cases (2.14%) needed to be re-hospitalized due to relapse. The 117 cases were followed up for 1 year, and their SES and LSIB scores maintained at the level when discharge, in which 94 cases kept in well social function. Conclusion Morita therapy can improve the self-esteem and life satisfaction of schizophrenic patients, and maintain good social function.

This study was aimed to carry out the research by statistics to analyze the influence of specific clinical function of Dioscorea opposita Thunb. from the viewpoint of prescription in order to summarize its rules. Formula containing D. opposita Thunb. in the classic book of the Formula Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine were recorded. The prescription type of D. opposita Thunb. was taken as the mainline. Excellwas used in the chart analy-sis. The results showed that for the function of reinforcing spleen-stomach, the effect of powder was increased, but the effect of pill was reduced. For the function of reinforcing lung and generating essence, the effect of decoction was significantly increased, but the effect of pill was significantly reduced. For the function of reinforcing kidney-yin, the effect of pill was significantly increased, but the effect of decoction was reduced. For the function of strengthening the kidney and restraining yin, the effect of powder was reduced. It was concluded that preparation had a strong in-fluence on the clinical function of D. opposita Thunb., which provided references for both clinical practice and health cultivation.

Objective To explore the etiology of abdominia incision hernia and treatments of giant incisional hernia of abdominal wall. Methods 14 cases with AGIH treated in our hospital from Oct 2003 to May 2008 were analyzed retrospectively. Results The etiology of abdominia incision hernia were very important,and abdominal longitudinal incision was performed, 10 cases ＞ 67y among 14 cases with incision hernia were 71.42%. Infection of incision and essential conditions( diabetes, chronic cough ,hypoalbum inemia)were also easily induced of incisional hernia. All of them chose the marlex patch. The cases were all cured and no serious postoperative complications. None of cases recurred during a follow up of 3 to 56 months. Conclusion The etiology of AGIH related with longitudinal incision,old ( ＞ 60y)and essential conditions. AGIH were repained with polypropylene mesh. Essential conditions should be treated before operation and abdominal wall should be trained comfortablely. Repairing abdominal incision hernial with artifical patch was a safe and simple operation with minimal postoperation pain.

BACKGROUND:To delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease, transplantation of viable and wel-differentiated stem cel s is expected to repair neural tissue, which has been an issue of concern. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of different doses of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cel s (hUCMSCs) on learning and memory ability of Alzheimer’s disease rats. METHODS:Fifty Sprague-Dawley rats, 7 months of age, were randomized into normal, model, high-, middle-and low-dose hUCMSCs groups (n=10 per group). Rats in model and UCMSCs groups were used to make Alzheimer’s disease animals through intraperitoneal injection of 150 mg/kg D-galactose for 90 days, and rats in the normal group were given intraperitoneal injection of normal saline for 90 days. In the three hUCMSCs group, passage 3 hUCMSCs at doses of 1×105/0.2 mL/20 g, 5×105/0.2 mL/20 g, and 1×106/0.2 mL/20 g were injected via the tail vein, respectively. Forty-five days after cel transplantation, Morris water maze test was used to detect rat’s learning and memory abilities, and hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe pathological changes of the rat hippocampal CA1 region. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the normal group, the rats in the model group showed significant reduction in the ability of learning and memory. Compared with the model group, the escape latency was significantly shortened in the middle-dose hUCMSCs group (P<0.05), while the number of passing times through the platform was increased significantly (P<0.05). In the model group, the cel s in the hippocampal CA1 region were arranged irregularly with unclear nucleoli and a part of cel s were concentrated and deeply stained. In the middle-dose hUCMSCs group, the cel s in the hippocampal CA1 region were arranged regularly with clear nucleoli, and only individual cel s were stained deeply. These findings indicate that middle-dose hUCMSCs transplantation can improve the learning and memory abilities of Alzheimer’s rats.

This article was aimed to study on clinical application of Shanyao (Dioscorea opposita Thunb.) in each historical period, which can offer some suggestions for clinical doctors to use Shanyao correctly. A total of 668 pieces of formulae containing Shanyao were recorded from the classic format Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine Formula. And then, statistic analysis was made on the emerging frequency according to its effect. The results showed that different effects of Shanyao started to be widely applied from the Song dynasty. It was most widely applied in the Ming and Qing dynasty. Nowadays, the difference between using Shanyao has been gradually decreased. During the whole historical period, clinical functions of Shanyao are mainly reinforcing the spleen and the stomach, tonifying the kidney and strengthening yin. However, clinical functions of reinforcing the kidney and restraining yin, tonifying the lung and promoting fluid are used secondly. It was concluded that the research analyzed clinical application of Shanyao in each historical period, which can offer scientific basis for clinical practice and health maintenance with the using of Shanyao.

This study was aimed to optimize extraction process of formula granules of Clematis chinensis Osbeck and establish its qualitative discrimination method. With oleanolic acid, hederagenin and extract rate as indexes, extraction technology conditions of formula granules of C. chinensis Osbeck were investigated by L9 (34) orthogonal test method. TLC was used in the qualitative discrimination of formula granules of C. chinensis Osbeck. The results showed that optimum extraction technology was: adding 12 times of water; soaking for 0.5 h; cooking for 1 h; and extracting for 3 times. TLC had the diagnostic characteristic for the distinct spot which illustrated the specificity. It was concluded that the extraction process was reasonable, simple and feasible with high extraction efficiency of ef-fective contents, which can be the scientific basis for production and quality control of formula granules of C. chin-ensis Osbeck.

Advanced and recurrent cervical cancer has a poor prognosis and few effective therapeutic option.With the development of molecular biology,the targeted drugs for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer continuously appear,such as inhibiting human papillomavirus,targeting angiogenesis,epidermal growth factor receptor,mammalian target of rapamycin,cyclooxygenase-2,sarcoma gene,proteasome inhibitor,DNA methylation,etc.With the development of new molecular targeted therapy,more effective or even treatment measures of cervical cancer might be found,which can provid a new approach for the individualized treatment of cervical cancer.
