Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is the common chronic complication of diabetes, which can lead to foot ulcers, gangrene, and amputation in severe cases, seriously affecting their quality of life. DPN belongs to the category of "arthralgia", "hemorrhoids" and other categories of TCM, and the main pathogenesis is the deficiency of qi and blood, yin and yang, and the obstruction of the meridians by phlegm and stasis. Clinically, DPN is more common with qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome. Based on the theory of "qi meridian constant communication" in the Huang Di Nei Jing, this article proposed that for patients with DPN with qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome, the treatment should be based on the principle of "invigorating qi and activating blood circulation, dissolving stasis and arthralgia", so that the patients' qi meridian can be accessible, delay the disease progression, and provide reference for the TCM treatment of DPN.

Objective To investigate the microsurgical effect of spinal cord Intramedullary cavernous hemangioma.Methods The clinical data of 23 patients with spinal cord Intramedullary cavernous henangioma from January,2003 to March,2017 were analyzed retrospectively.McCormick clinical neurological function classification method and MRI examination were used to analyze the changes of neurological function and imaging changes beforeand-after operation.MRI and assess nerve function were reviewed 6-12 months after discharge.Results Twentytwo cases were totally resected,and subtotal excised in 1 case.The symptoms improved and even disappeared completely in 17 cases.There was no obvious improvement in 4 cases,2 cases were worse and no death cases.Twentyone cases were followed-up.The follow-up time was 3 months-9 years,and no tumor recurrence was found.Among the 14 cases of clinical neurological function Ⅰ-Ⅱ,10 cases recovered rapidly and most of the symptoms improved or even disappeared.Three cases had no obvious change.The other 1 case aggravated symptoms;Six cases of Ⅲ-Ⅳ patients in 7 cases of postoperative recovery,and 1 case of no change.According to preoperative neurological function grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ and Ⅲ-Ⅳ,the treatment effect of patients was compared,the difference was significant (x2=5.25,P<0.05).Conclusion Microsurgical resection of spinal cord Intramedullary cavernous hemangioma is safe and effective.The preoperative nerve function,the relationship between the tumor and the spinal cord,and the surgical skill and the degree of resection are the important factors that affect the prognosis.
