To evaluate the clinical efficacy of combined therapy of Zushima tablet and western medicine in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and analyze the MRI test results. A total of 170 patients who had been treated for rheumatoid arthritis at our hospital from August 2016 and June 2018, were enrolled as research objects. They were randomly divided into control group and research group, with 85 patients in each group. The patients in the control group were treated with western medicine, while patients in the research group were treated with combined therapy of Zushima tablet and western medicine. The clinical efficacies of two groups were compared. results showed that the overall effective rate of the research group was higher than that of the control group (p<0.05). Various clinical symptoms including joint swelling, joint tenderness, duration of morning stiffness for both groups before and after treatment were recorded, and results showed that the improvement of the research group was significantly better than that of the control group (p<0.05). Application of combined therapy of Zushima tablet and western medicine in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis could lead to favorable effects and improvement of the patients' clinical symptoms.

Aims: This study aims to elucidate the therapeutic effects and underlying mechanisms of exosomes derived from Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1)-overexpressing human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (Exo) in a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) mouse model.
Methods: In this study, exosomes were identified using Western blotting, particle analysis, and transmission electron microscopy. The effect of Exo and Exo on the neurological function of SAH mice was assessed using the Garcia scoring system, Beam balance, Rotarod test, and Morris water maze test.

Background: China is seeing a growing demand for rehabilitation treatments for post-stroke upper limb spastic paresis (PSSP-UL). Although acupuncture is known to be effective for PSSP-UL, there is room to enhance its efficacy.
Objective: This study explored a semi-personalized acupuncture approach for PSSP-UL that used three-dimensional kinematic analysis (3DKA) results to select additional acupoints, and investigated the feasibility, efficacy and safety of this approach.
