Methods： Seventy-eight patients with upper extremity edema after operation of breast cancer with Yin Syndrome were given wet compress with prescription and nursing guidance. The symptom score of affected extremity was observed before and 14 days after treatment, and the total effective rate was evaluated. Results： Twenty-three cases were markedly effective, 41 cases were effective and 14 cases were Invalid. The total effective rate was 82.1%. There was no significant difference between the two groups according to stage I and stage II of edema （P 〉 0.05）. Conclusion： WYHX can effectively improve the discomfort symptoms of upper limb edema and cold after breast cancer surgery, and is worthy of clinical application.展开更多

Rats were assigned into four groups: Group Ⅰ ( no irrigation), Group Ⅱ (irrigation with physiologic saline), Group Ⅲ ( irrigation with EOW ) and Group Ⅳ ( hydrocolloid occlusive dressing after EOW irrigation). Wounds were observed macroscopically until complete epithelialization was present, then the epithelialized wounds were examined microscopically. Results: Healing of the burn wounds was the fastest in Group Ⅳ treated with hydrocolloid occlusive dressing together with EOW. Although extensive regenerative epidermis was seen in each Group, the proliferations of lymphocytes and macrophages associated with dense collagen deposition were more extensive in Group Ⅱ, Ⅲ and IV than in Group Ⅰ. These findings were particularly evident in Group Ⅲ and Ⅳ.Conclusions: Wound Healing may be accelerated by applying a hydrocolloid occlusive dressing on burn surfaces after they are cleaned with EOW.展开更多
