This paper summarizes clinical experience in treating acne based on the staged therapeutic principles of "eruption in warm diseases". It is considered that acne results from wind-heat retained in the lungs， invading the ying level and obstructing the blood collaterals， and is primarily a disorder involving both the wei and ying systems. In clinical practice， the treatment emphasizes the use of acrid-cool and sweet-cold methods. The core prescription is namely Yinqiaosan Qu Douchi Jia Xishengdi Danpi Daqingye Bei Xuanshen Fang （from Epidemic Warm Diseases ［《温病条辨》］）， and is adjusted according to the stage of disease. In the non-inflammatory stage， when the pathogen initially attacks the wei level， treatment focuses on acrid-cool herbs to release the exterior， with supplementary bitter-sweet ingredients such as Yejuhua （Chrysanthemum Indicum）. In the inflammatory stage， with pronounced heat toxin in the qi level affecting the ying and blood， and local stagnation of qi and blood， the approach is to clear heat and resolve toxin， using blood-cooling and stasis-resolving herbs early to prevent progression. Herbs such as Pugongying （Taraxacum Mongolicum）， Zihuadiding （Viola Yedoensis）， Tiankuizi （Semiaquilegia Adoxoides）， Chonglou （Paris Polyphylla）， Machixian （Portulaca Oleracea）， Zaojiaoci （Gleditsia Sinensis）， Chuanshanjia （Manis Pentadactyla） may be added. In the post-inflammatory erythema stage， when yin of the ying level is depleted and internal deficiency-heat arises， sweet-cold herbs are recommended to nourish the stomach and generate fluids， with the possible addition of Yiwei Decoction （益胃汤）.

Objective To investigate the role and molecular mechanism of Sirt1 in renal injury in diabetic mice under acute inflammatory state.Methods Forty SPF grade C57BL/6J male mice,8 weeks old,weighing 20-25 g were selected.The mice were divided into five groups by random number table meth-od:control group(group C),diabetic group(group D),lipopolysaccharide(LPS)+diabetic group(group L),LPS+diabetic+Sirt1 blocker EX527 group(group E),and LPS+diabetic+Sirt1 agonist ginkgoflavone sapogenins group(group G),8 mice in each group.After successful preparation of the diabet-ic mouse model,group L was injected intraperitoneally with LPS 10 mg/kg.Group E was injected intraper-itoneally with EX527 5 mg/kg(dissolved in DMSO 0.2 ml)1 hour before giving LPS treatment to diabetic mice.Group G was injected intraperitoneally with 200 mg/kg of ginkgoflavone sapogenins(dissolved in DMSO 0.2 ml)1 hour before LPS treatment was given to diabetic mice,groups C and D underwent an in-traperitoneal injection of 2％DMSO 0.15 ml at the same time point.24-hours urine volume was collected and 24-hours urinary protein concentration was determined,and blood was taken from the posterior eyes to detect serum Scr and BUN concentrations.After kidney tissues were removed,IL-1βand IL-18 concentra-tions were measured by ELISA,nitrate reductase assay for nitric oxide(NO)content in kidney,iron ion an-tioxidant capacity assay for total antioxidant capacity(T-AOC),qPCR and Western blot assay for Sirtl,caspase-1,NLRP3,and ASC mRNA expression and protein content.The acetylated FoxO3a protein content was detected by immunoprecipitation,the reactive oxygen species(ROS)content was calculated by di-hydroethidium staining,the pyroptosis rate was calculated by immunofluorescence double staining,HE stai-ning was performed,and the pathological results were observed under light microscope.Results Compared with group C,24-hours urine volume,urine protein concentration,serum Scr and BUN concentration,con-centrations of renal tissue IL-1β,IL-18,and NO,NLRP3,caspase-1,and ASC mRNA expressions and protein contents,ROS content and pyroptosis rate were significantly increased,T-AOC activity was signifi-cantly decreased in groups D,L,E,and G(P＜0.05).Compared with group D,24-hours urine volume,urine protein concentration,serum Scr and BUN concentration,concentrations of renal tissue IL-1 β,IL-18,and NO,NLRP3,caspase-1,and ASC mRNA expressions and protein contents,ROS content and pyroptosis rate were significantly increased,T-AOC activity was significantly decreased in groups L,E,and G(P＜0.05).Compared with group L,24-hours urine volume,urine protein concentration,serum Scr and BUN concentration,concentrations of renal tissue IL-1β,IL-18,and NO,NLRP3,caspase-1,and ASC mRNA expressions and protein contents,acetylated FoxO3a protein content,ROS content,and pyroptosis rate were significantly increased,T-AOC activity,Sirt1 mRNA expression and protein content,and FoxO3a mRNA expression were significantly decreased in group E(P＜0.05),24-hours urine volume,urine pro-tein concentration,serum Scr and BUN concentration,concentrations of renal tissue IL-1β,IL-18,and NO,NLRP3,caspase-1,and ASC mRNA expressions and protein contents,acetylated FoxO3a protein con-tent,ROS content and pyroptosis rate were significantly decreased,T-AOC activity,Sirt1 mRNA expression and protein content were significantly increased in group G(P＜0.05).Compared with group E,24-hours urine volume,urinary protein concentration,serum Scr and BUN concentration,concentrations of renal tissue IL-1β,IL-18,and NO,NLRP3,caspase-1,and ASC mRNA expressions and protein contents,acetylated FoxO3a protein content,ROS content,and pyroptosis rate were significantly decreased,T-AOC activity,Sirt1 mRNA expression and protein content were significantly increased in group G(P＜0.05).Conclusion In diabetic mice under acute inflammatory state,elevated Sirt1 reduces kidney injury by de-creasing acetylated FoxO3a protein content,reduced urine volume,urine protein concentration,serum Scr and BUN concentration,inflammatory factor concentrations and apoptosis levels in renal tissue,and attenua-ted oxidative stress and inflammation levels.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic pelvic floor three-level internal repair and stapled transanal rectum resection (STARR) in the treatment of male patients with intrarectal prolapse. Mlethds A total of 101 male patients with rectal intrarectal prolapse from Feb 2013 to Oct 2017 were enrolled into this study. Fifty-two patient in group A received laparoscopic pelvie floor three-level internal repair, and 49 patients in group B received STARR. The Wexner incontinence scale (WIS), Wexner constipation scale (WCS) score, gastrointestinal quality of life index (GIQLI) and degree of internal rectal prolapse (DIRP) were systematically evaluated before surgery and 3 months, 1 year and 3 years after surgery. Results:There were no significant differences in age, BMI, number of bowel movements(BM), WIS, WCS, GIQLI and DIRP between the two groups before surgery(all P>0.05). The WIS, WCS, GIQLI and DIRP in 3 months, 1year and 3 years after surgery in both two groups were significantly better than those before surgery ( t=20.169, 25.229, 27.278, 23.818, 23.489, 21.152, -3.550, -23.042, -22.901, 82.852, 40.915, 30.010, 11.323, 13.237, 11.452, 19.473, 18.647, 17.108, -8.791, -5.254, -5.846, 37.439, 30.598, 22.852, all P<0.001). The GIQLI in Group A was significantly better than that of group B at 1 year and 3 years after surgery ( P<0.001) but close to that in Group B at 3 months after surgery ( t=1.428, P=0.156). The WIS, WCS and DIRP in group A were significantly better than those in group B at 3 months, 1 year and 3 years after surgery, with statistical significance ( t=-8.243, -15.688, -20.193, -4.268, -4.768, -4.851, 11.329, 13.543, -5.399, -4.745, -4.598, all P<0.001). There was no signifcant difference in grade Ⅰ-Ⅲ complications between the two groups (χ 2=0.046, P=1.00). Conclusion:Laparoscopic pelvic floor three-level internal repair is more effective than transanal STARR in the treatment of male internal rectal prolapse.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic integral pelvic floor/ligament repair (IPFLR) combined with a procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) and that laparoscopic IPFLR alone in the treatment of internal rectal prolapse (IRP) in women.Methods:Patients were divided into groups A in which 63 patients undergoing laparoscopic IPFLR alone, and group B of 67 patients reciving laparoscopic IPFLR combined with PPH. The degree of internal rectal prolapse (DIRP), Wexner constipation scale (WCS) score, Wexner incontinence scale (WIS) score, and Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) score were compared between these two groups and in each group those before surgery and 6 months, 2 years, and 5 years after surgery.Results:The number of bowel movements , DIRP, WCS score, WIS score, and GIQLI score before surgery were not significantly different between the two groups (all P>0.05). The DIRP, WCS score, WIS score, and GIQLI score in each group 6 months, 2 years, and 5 years after surgery in both two groups were significantly better than those before surgery (all P<0.001). The DIRP, WCS score, WIS score, and GIQLI score in group B were significantly better than those in group A at 6 months, 2 years, and 5 years after surgery (all P<0.05) except DIRP at 2 years after surgery (all P<0.05). There was a significant difference in the recurrence rate of IRP between the two groups when evaluated at 5 years after surgery ( P=0.001). Conclusions:Integral theory-guided laparoscopic IPFLR combined with PPH has a higher cure rate and a better clinical efficacy than laparoscopic IPFLR alone.

Objective:To evaluate treatment of laparoscopic rectopexy with Douglas pouch repair plus the procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) for complete rectal prolapse (CRP).Methods:A total of 36 CRP patients treated by laparoscopic rectopexy associated with the procedure for PPH at No. 989 Hospital of PLA between Oct 2014 and June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Operations were successful in all these 36 cases.One patient developed left post-op hydronephrosis and no other major complications were observed , such as intra-abdominal hemorrhage, infection. 2 of 36 patients developed recurrent prolapse. The constipation score and incontinence score at the 12th month after operation were significantly different from those before operation[(5.97±1.36) vs.(10.92±1.96), t=17.39, P<0.05; (6.28±1.49) vs.(10.81±2.16), t=16.32, P<0.05]. The constipation score and incontinence score at the 24th month after operation were significantly different from those before operation[(5.81±1.28) vs.(10.92±1.96), t=15.36, P<0.05 ; (6.03±1.67) vs.(10.81±2.16), t=14.64, P<0.05]. But there was no significant difference on the 12th and 24th month after surgery ( t=0.85, P>0.05 and t=1.12, P>0.05). Conclusions:Laparoscopic rectopexy with Douglas pouch repair plus the procedure for PPH for CRP is a effective treatment.

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic subtotal colonic bypass plus colostomy with antiperistaltic cecoproctostomy (SCBCAC) in the treatment of senile slow transit constipation. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed. Clinical data of 30 colonic slow transit constipation patients aged ≥70 years old undergoing laparoscopic SCBCAC from July 2012 to October 2016 (bypass plus colostomy group), and 28 patients undergoing laparoscopic subtotal colonic bypass with antiperistaltic cecoproctostomy (SCBAC) from February 2009 to June 2012 (bypass group) at our institute were collected. Efficacy was compared between the two procedures. Inclusion criteria: (1) meeting the Rome III diagnosis criteria for constipation; (2) confirmed diagnosis of slow transit constipation; (3) age ≥ 70 years old; (4) receiving non-surgical treatment for more than 5 years, and Wexner constipation score > 15; (5) follow-up for more than 2 years. Those with psychiatric symptoms or previous psychiatric history, obvious signs of outlet obstructive constipation, organic diseases of the colon and life-threatening cardiovascular diseases or cancer were excluded. In the bypass plus colostomy group, laparoscopy was performed via five trocars. The ileocecal junction and the ascending colon were mobilized and the ileocecal junction was pulled down to the pelvic inlet. The ascending colon was transected and the appendix was excised. The lateral peritoneum of the sigmoid colon and the rectal mesentery were dissected and the upper rectum was transected. The avil of a circular stapler was placed in the bottom of the cecum. The shaft of the stapler was placed in the rectum via the anal canal to complete end-to-side anastomosis (end rectum to lateral cecum). The end of the rectal-sigmoid colon was used for colostomy via an extraperitoneal approach to complete the operation. The following efficacy indexes were collected before surgery and 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery: the number of daily bowel movements, the Wexner incontinence scale (WIS, 0-20, the lower the better), the Wexner constipation scale (WCS, 0-30, the lower the better), the gastrointestinal quality of life index (GIQLI, 0-144, the higher score, the better), abdominal pain intensity indicated by the numerical rating scale (NRS, 0-10, the lower score, the better), and the abdominal bloating score (ABS, 0-4, the lower score, the better). The complications defined as Clavien-Dindo class II or above were observed and recorded. Results: No significant differences in preoperative WCS, WIS, GIQLI, NRS, and ABS were observed between bypass plus colostomy group and bypass group (all P>0.05). All the patients successfully underwent laparoscopic surgery and no patient in either group experienced postoperative fecal incontinence. WCS and GIQLI were significantly improved (all P<0.001) at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery in both groups. At 12 months after surgery, the number of bowel movements was significantly less in bypass plus colostomy group than that in bypass group [(2.4±0.7) times vs. (3.4±1.2) times, t=4.048, P<0.001]. At 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after surgery, the improvement of GIQLI in bypass plus colostomy group was significantly better than that in bypass group (all P<0.001). At 24 months after surgery, GIQLI in bypass plus colostomy group and bypass group was 122.3±5.3 and 92.8±16.6, respectively, with a significant difference (t=9.276, P<0.001). At 12 and 24 months after surgery, NRS in bypass plus colostomy group was significantly better than that in bypass group (both P<0.001). At 24 months after surgery, NRS in bypass plus colostomy group was 0.9±0.7, while that in bypass group was 3.7±2.7. There was a significant difference between two groups (t=5.585, P<0.001). At 6, 12 and 24 months after surgery, the improvement of ABS in bypass plus colostomy group was also significantly better than that in bypass group. At 24 months after surgery, ABS in bypass plus colostomy group was 0.6±0.6, while that in bypass group was 2.5±1.0, with a significant difference between two groups (t=8.797, P<0.001). At 1 year after surgery, barium enema examination was performed in all the patients of both groups. The barium emptying time was (21.2±3.8) hours and (95.8±86.2) hours in bypass plus colostomy group and bypass group respectively. The former group was significantly better than the latter group (t=4.740, P<0.001). Conclusions Laparoscopic SCBCAC is an effective and safe procedure for the treatment of senile slow transit constipation and can significantly improve prognosis. Its clinical efficacy is better than laparoscopic SCBAC.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the influence of length of preserved ileocecum on the efficacy of laparoscopic subtotal colectomy antiperistaltic cecorectal anastomosis (LSCACRA) in treating slow transit constipation (STC).

METHODSClinical data of 81 STC patients who received LSCACRA between April 2007 And December 2011 in the 150th Center Hospital of PLA were continuously collected. Patients were divided into two groups: 10 cm to 15 cm ascending colon preserved above ileocecal junction(10-15 cm group, n=41), and 2 cm to 3 cm ascending colon preserved above ileocecal junction (2-3 cm group, n=40). The Wexner constipation scale (WCS), Wexner incontinence scale(WIS), gastrointestinal quality of life index(GIQLI), abdominal pain intensity scale(NRS), abdominal pain frequency scale and abdominal bloating frequency scale in the two groups were determined and compared before and 6, 12, 24 months after operation.

RESULTSNo postoperative incontinence was found in all the patients. There were no significant differences in evacuation frequency between two groups at 6th and 12th month after surgery (all P>0.05). Two years after operation, barium enema emptying time examination revealed 2-3 cm group was (17.7±9.5) h, which was remarkably shorter than (21.2±20.7) h in 10-15 cm group (P=0.011). The WCS, GIQLI, NRS and abdominal pain frequency scale of two groups were improved obviously at 6th, 12th and 24th month after surgery (all P<0.01). Above parameters in 2-3 cm group were superior to 10-15 cm group (all P<0.01), but abdominal bloating frequency scale was not significantly different between the two groups (P>0.05). As compared with before operation, NRS in 2-3 cm group 6, 12, 24 months after operation reduced remarkably (all P<0.01), but did not improve obviously in 10-15 cm group (P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe shorter length of ascending colon preserved above ileocecal junction can improve the efficacy of LSCACRA in the treatment of STC and the prognosis of patients. Two to three cm length of ascending colon preserved above the ileocecal junction should be recommended.

Objective To analyze postoperative effect of a new rectopexy technique with Douglas pouch elevation for complete rectal prolapse (CRP) in adults.Methods From January 2010 to May 2011, 52 CRP cases were treated by rectopexy with Douglas pouch elevation.In terms of different surgical techniques, patients were divided into two groups : Group A (n =28) received laparoscopic rectopexy with Douglas pouch elevation;and Group B (n =24) received laparoscopic rectopexy with Douglas pouch elevation combined with procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH).Rectal prolapse, constipation, and fecal incontinence in the two groups were assessed respectively before surgery, and on the 6th, 12th, and 24th month after surgery, postoperative complications were evaluated with severe grading of surgical complications.Results Symptoms of rectal prolapse disappeared at half a year after surgery in all patients, and relapsed to different extent afterwards.However, two years after operation, the status of rectal prolapse in Group B tended to be stable.The trend of constipation after surgery was consistent with that of rectal prolapse.In addition, fecal continence improved gradually on half a year after surgery in the two groups and recovered to the optimal status in the first postoperative year.However, in the second year, the results of fecal incontinence reduced slightly in Groups A, and Group B became stable.Two years after surgery, four cases in Groups A relapsed while there was no recurrence in Group B.Difference of Grade I to Grade Ⅲ complications among the two groups was statistically insignificant (x2 =0.05, P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The clinical effect of laparoscopic rectopexy with Douglas pouch elevation associated with the procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) is better than that without PPH for female and male CRP patients with severe symptoms.
