Methods:Fifty patients from Peking Union Medical College Hospital(PUMCH) were randomly assigned to two treatment groups:VH(n= 23) and LAVH(n= 27).All procedures were performed by a single senior surgeon to maintain homogeneity. Results:The baseline characteristics of the two groups were comparable.The operative time for LAVH was significantly longer than for VH(76.7±23.2 vs.57.6±23.5 min,P<0.05),and LAVH costs more money than VH(6,923.07±622.96 vs.5,974.46±1,408.08 RMB,P<0.05).Major complications,uterine weight and the length of hospital stay were comparable between VH and LAVH group.One case of VH was converted to LAVH due to adhesion. Conclusions:Compared with LAVH,VH is a time- and cost-saving operative technique for enlarged myomatous uterus.VH should be the primary method for uterine removal,but LAVH may have advantages when adhesion is present.展开更多

Both groups were given basic treat- ment with prednisone. The treatment group was given FGs, and the control group was given Jinshui- bao capsules （JCs）. Treatment lasted for 6 months. The Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale （MRCDS）, the Saint George＇s Hospital Respiratory Questionnaire （SGHRQ）, pulmonary function, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Score （TC- MSS）, 6-min walking test （6MWT） and blood gas analyses were recorded before the study as well as 3 months and 6 months after treatment.RESULTS： FGs showed greater efficacy than the control in certain parameters between before the study and 6 months, and between 3 months and 6 months, in the MRCDS, some indicators in the SGHRQ, and the TCMSS. There were no significant differences between the treatment group and con- trol group in the remainder of the indices evaluat- ed. In the treatment group, there were significant differences in before and after treatment in the MRCDS, SGHRQ, TCMSS and 6MWT.展开更多

Sixteen sessions within an 8-week period were completed. Sixty-five male weightlifters who had undergone normal weightlifting training for a mean of 5 years before study commencement were recruited. The RPEscale score of "snatch", "clean and jerk" maneuvers(85% of one-repetition maximum), and HRV were measured before and after the intervention.RESULTS: The RPE scale score for snatch, clean and jerk were reduced significantly after intervention in the Guasha group and sham group. However, there was a significant difference in the low frequency(LF) domain and LF/high frequency(HF) ratio(P <0.05): the LF domain decreased, and the LF/HF ratio decreased.CONCLUSION: Guasha could be used to reduce the RPE scale score, and increase the response to HRV.Guasha could be considered as an alternative to some types of recovery from sports training.展开更多

In the present study, adhesions were induced in 220 rabbits using a double uterine horn model. Rabbits were randomized to receive an operation only or an operation+medical chitosan intraperitoneally. Twenty-two rabbits from each group were euthanized at one of five different times(Day 3, 7, 14, 28, or 42), and adhesion formation was given gross and histopathological scores. Reductions were observed in adhesion extent(P=0.0337) and tenacity(P=0.0271) as well as inflammation(P<0.0001) on Day 3 when medical chitosan was applied. Prior to Day 14, fibrosis was less obvious in the medical chitosan group(P<0.0005). The tenacity scores were significantly lower in the medical chitosan group following Day 14(P<0.05), while the type scores were lower in the medical chitosan group following Day 28(P<0.03). Thus, medical chitosan decreased both the gross and the histopathological scores of the induced adhesions.展开更多
