Clinical Observation on Effect of Xuesaitong Injection (血塞通注射液) as Auxiliary Treatment of Severe Craniocerebral Injury

Objective To evaluate the effect of Xuesai-tong injection (XSTI, 血塞通注射液 , a preparation of Panax Notoginseng) as auxilliary treatment of severe craniocerebral injury. Methods Eighty-seven patients with severe craniocerebral injury were selected and randomly divided into the treated group (n=44) and the control group (n = 43), they were treated with conventional treatment, and XSTI was given additionally to the treated group. Intracranial pressure (ICP) and Glasgow coma score (GCS) of all patients were measuredafter 1 or 2-week treatment, and Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) of them was determined 3 months later. Then the therapeutic effect in the two groups were compared. Results After treatment, the ICP was lower, GCS higher and GOS better in the treated group than those in the control group significantly, all showing statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion XSTI has marked clinical therapeutic effect in treating patients with severe craniocerebral injury.Original article on CJITWM (Chin) 2004 ;23 (3): 213

Clinical Observation on Effect of Combination of Zhuanyindan (转阴丹) and Hormone in Treating MaleInfertility with Positive Antisperm Antibody

Objective:To explore the therapeutic effect of combination of Zhuanyindan (ZYD, 转阴丹, a self-made Chinese herbal preparation) and hormone in treating male infertility with positive antisperm antibody and its influence on nitric oxide (NO) level. Methods:Eighty-two patients were randomly divided (according to the digital list) into the WM group (n = 20, treated with prednisone), the TCM group (n=28, treated with ZYD) and the ICWM group (n=34, treated with prednisone plus ZYD). The clinical effect, negative converting rate of antisperm antibody, changes of NO level in semen and various parameters of sperm motion before and after treatment were observed. Results: The total effective rate in the ICWM group was 88.2%, that in theTCM group 75. 0% and in the WM group 65. 0%. Significant difference was seen in the ICWM and TCM group before and after treatment in NO level, sperm motion parameters, including linear motion speed, linearity, propulsion, whip frequency, sperm vitality and mean moving angle, and quality of semen ( P < 0. 05 or P < 0. 01). In the WM group, significant difference in comparison before and after treatment was seen in NO level, propulsion, whip frequency, mean moving angle and quality of semen, including vitality and survival rate (P<0. 01). Conclusion: Combination of Chinese herbs and hormone could lower the NO level in semen and improve the quality of sperm.Original article on CJITWM (Chin) 2004 ;23 (3): 223

Clinical observation of the effect of crystallitic dermabrasion on skin superficial scars

To oberserve the changes in histopathology and clinical effect after the treatment of superficial scars in human faces and exposed parts of human extremities with crystallitic dermabrasion.Methods The machine made in Italy can produce the high speed crystallite to the surface of the scar,resulting in the alveolate wounds.At the same time the crystolitic drill make the accidented scar smooth.Results Two thousands and five hundreds and thirty eight suffers were treated for 2～10 times.The appearance of the scars was improved.Six patients complicated with milium,Eleven got hypopigmentation,eight got hypomelanotation.Eighty percent patients of this groups got pigmentation after the treatment.This signs disappeared or improved after 2～6 months.Histopathology demonstrated the scar area became small,the fibroblasts increased remarkably and the collagenous fiber arranged regularly.The cells in the stratum spinosum proliferated actively.Conclusion Crystallitic dermabrasion is a simple and safe method for the treatment of skin superficial scars.5 refs,4 figs.
