Apparatus and method for treating a body joint wound subsequent to surgical intervention. An infusion tube is insertable into the wound for transporting a prepared solution to the joint. A second tube is insertable into the wound for transport of fluid removed from the joint. A vacuum device is coupled to the second tube. Suction is automatically turned on to evacuate the wound for a prescribed period of time and then stopped for another prescribed period of time. The on and off cycle may be repetitive. During the entire period, the prepared solution is constantly infused. The infusion tube and evacuation tube are isolated from each other so that no contaminants can be infused. A plurality of preadjusted suction duty cycles are available, from which one may be selected as appropriate for the type of wound to be treated.

The disclosure relates to the process of enhanced recovery from injury or body fatigue due to strenuous activity or strenuous conditions using a contemplated apparatus. Generally the apparatuses disclosed utilize two or more physiological properties and/or body interfaces selected from 1) thermoregulation enhancer via cooling or heating sources; 2) blood flow viscosity enhancer via electromagnetic forces; 3) a circulatory pull by creating a negative pressure or vacuum environment which draws more blood to the treatment area; 4) muscle release apparatus via pressure point applicators and/or electric stimulation devices, which enhance the bodies natural abilities to recover from stress, fatigue or injury; and 5) a fatigue stimulator may be utilized to accelerate the amount of inflammation, stress, and/or fatigue applied to an area of the body via a restrictive cuff which prevent the body from constantly experiencing enhanced recovery techniques and depriving the body of natural adaptation.

The invention belongs to the technical field of cosmetics, and in particular relates to a moisturizing essence lotion and a preparation method of the moisturizing essence lotion.

Methods and apparatus for the treatment of venous insufficiency, such as varicose veins, are described herein utilizing endovenous treatments. Such treatments may include systems to create an initial endovascular injury to the vessel wall utilizing any number of mechanisms, such as chemical, mechanical, electrical, etc. modalities. An implantable device, optionally having a sclerosing agent infused therein, may additionally be implanted along the injured tissue to promote, maintain, and otherwise enhance the tissue inflammation and scarring, thereby remodeling the diseased vessel wall.

An electrosurgical method for treating chronic wound tissue, comprising: positioning an active electrode in close proximity to the chronic wound, the active electrode being disposed on a distal end of an electrosurgical shaft; applying a high-frequency voltage potential difference across the active electrode and a return electrode sufficient to develop a high electric field intensity associated with a vapor layer proximate the active electrode and in close proximity to the wound tissue; and stimulating an expression of at least one healing mediator.

A method is provided herein to increase an immune response to an antigen. The method includes administering an agent that inhibits extracellular adenosine or inhibits adenosine receptors. Also disclosed are methods to increase the efficacy of a vaccine and to increase an immune response to a tumor antigen or immune cell-mediated tumor destruction.

There is provided the use of a methylxanthine derivative such as theophylline and a steroid in a synergistic combination for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, wherein the combination is administered by the inhaled route for pulmonary delivery.

The invention discloses a medicinal composition for treating gynecological inflammation, and belongs to the field of Chinese medicament. The medicinal composition consists of collagen and/or Chinese medicaments for releasing toxin and sterilizing such as collagen and lizardtail, glabrous greenbrier rhizome, Vietnamese sophora root and the like which are prepared into a plurality of dosage forms bycombining the prior art, and is mainly used for treating vaginitis, pelvic inflammation, urethritis and cervicitis diseases. The technical scheme overcomes the defects that the prior externally-applied preparations such as lotion, gel, suppository, ointment and the like have extremely slow response, longer disease course, repeated outbreak and the like, and creatively combines and applies the collagen and the Chinese medicament, can accelerate the healing of ulcer and erosion faces caused by the inflammation, and can greatly shorten the required time for tissue repair.

Intravenous, or indwelling, or integratedmulti-functional devices and systems reduce levels of a targeted compound in blood by selective adsorption. The devices and systems can be used, e.g., to reduce levels of pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory stimulators or mediators in blood by selective adsorption. The devices and systems are useful in situations where abnormal levels of or unregulated or excessive interaction among pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory stimulators or mediators occur, or during events that do induce or have the potential for inducing abnormal production of pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory stimulators or mediators. The devices and systems serve to prevent, control, reduce, or alleviate the severity of the inflammatory response and disease states that are associated with abnormal levels of or unregulated or excessive interaction among pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory stimulators or mediators.
