Xiyanping injection therapy for children with mild hand foot and mouth disease: a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical effects of Xiyanping injection intervention in pediatric patients with mild hand foot and mouth disease (HFMD).

Methods: A total of 329 patients were stratified and block-randomized for symptomatic treatment of HFMD and assigned to one of the following groups: Western Medicine (group A, n = 103), Xiyanping injection (group B, n = 109), or Xiyanping injection and symptomatic treatment using Western Medicine (group C, n = 117). During the trial, fever, rash, ulcers of the mouth were observed among participants in each group before and after treatment, and conversion rates from mild to severe HFMD were measured.

[Therapeutic effect of argon green laser for diabetic retinopathy].

Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effect of argon green laser for improving the visual acuity and relieving diabetic macular oedema in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR).

Methods: In patients with preproliferative DR (PPDR) and proliferative DR (PDR), fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) was performed to locate the area or spot where leakage occurred, followed by argon green laser photocoagulation of the identified leakage. In the 1-year-long follow-up study, both the visual acuity and changes in diabetic macular oedema were observed in both groups.
