An integrated negative pressure bandage is constructed with a non-woven polyurethane matrix pad secured on the outside surface to a sheet of polyurethane film formed with an outer adhesive boundary to establish a seal against the skin of the patient around the wound site. The inner surface of the non-woven matrix pad is covered with a silver nitrate mesh to promote healing of the wound site when the bandage is placed on top of the wound. A drain tube is contained within the non-woven matrix pad for connection with a source of negative pressure to draw the fluids and exudates from the wound for removal to a canister that is located remotely from the bandage. Contoured versions of the integrated bandage are provided for use on portions of the human body that present difficult locations for applications of negative pressure therapy, including the toes, heel, limbs, and sacral region.

The invention discloses a novel warm reinforcing Chinese wolfberry wine. The novel warm reinforcing Chinese wolfberry wine is prepared from, by weight, 35-40 parts of Chinese wolfberries, 20-25 parts of sharpleaf galangal fruit, 25-30 parts of rhizoma polygonatum and 10-15 parts of cinnamon. The preparation method for the novel warm reinforcing Chinese wolfberry wine is as follows: Chinese wolfberries, sharpleaf galangal fruit, rhizoma polygonatum and cinnamon are prepared into a Chinese wolfberry extract, a sharpleaf galangal fruit extract, a rhizoma polygonatum extract and a cinnamon extract, then compounding is carried out according to compatibility ingredients and a novel warm reinforcing Chinese wolfberry wine is prepared. The Chinese wolfberry wine employs pure traditional Chinese medicinal materials as raw materials, extract products are prepared through the modern preparation technology method, and the novel warm reinforcing Chinese wolfberry wine is prepared. Through excitation of sympathetic nerves and parasympathetic nerves, especially plant elements exciting parasympathetic nerves in a sacral region are supplemented into bodies of impotence and premature ejaculation patients rapidly, thus human body obtains or keeps erection and ejaculation stimulus threshold control capabilities, and therefore the purposes of elimination or prevention of impotence and premature ejaculation, tonifying kidney and generating sperms are achieved.

A medicine for curing chronic prostatitis and the preparation method relate to a Chinese traditional medicine and the preparation method; the medicine is made of 15 Chinese traditional medicines such as cocktree bark, milk vetch root, hedyotis, epimedium herb, cowherb seed, corydalis turtschaninovii, etc.; these medicines are extracted by alcohol and water and then condensed to the medicine; the medicine can be made into pill, troche, capsule or mixture.
