[Scanning electron microscope observation and image quantitative analysis of Hippocampi].

The "scale-like projects" on the derma of 3 species of Hippocampi, H. kuda Bleerer, H. trimaculatus Leach and H. japonicus Kaup were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results showed that some characteristics such us size, shape and type of arrangement of the "scale-like projects" can be considered as the evidence for microanalysis. Image quantitative analysis of the "scale-like project" was carried out on 45 pieces of photograph using area, long diameter, short diameter and shape factor as parameters. No difference among the different parts of the same species was observed, but significant differences were found among the above 3 species.

[Clinical report of 60 cases of diabetic cardio-vascular autonomous neuropathy by stasis removing treatment of combined traditional and Western medicine].

OBJECTIVE: To study the treatment of diabetic cardio-vascular autonomous neuropathy (DCVAN) by TCM-WM following the principle of promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis. METHODS: Sixty patients with DCVAN were randomly divided into two groups, the treatment group (30 patients) were treated with combined TCM-WM therapy. Based on the control of blood sugar by WM effectively, then use TCM-Tangxinshen ([symbol: see text], TXS) with the function of supplementing the Qi and nourishing Yin, promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis. Thirty cases of the control group were treated with WM alone. The course of treatment was three months. RESULTS: The total effective rate of the treatment group and the control group was 77.3% and 33.4% respectively, which were significantly different statistically (P < 0.005). CONCLUSION: The therapeutic effect of TCM-WM was better than that of WM.
