An ulcer, lymphoedema and DVT treatment device (10) comprises a drive unit (12) adapted to deliver mechanical vibrations at its surface in three orthogonal directions at a frequency in each orthogonal direction of between 15 and 75 Hz and with an amplitude in each orthogonal direction of between 0.1 and 0.5 mm. A pad (110) is connected to the drive unit, and a strap (46) enables the pad to be pressed against the limb of the animal or human. The motor drives an eccentrically mounted weight (22) to provide oscillations of the casing in a radial plane. The device is employed to treat a patient suffering from leg ulcers, lymphoedema and DVT by applying three-dimensional vibrations. A cover (150) is provided to protect the pad (110) from contamination.

The device can be used for pedaling posture exercise and stretching posture exercise of upper and lower limbs.

The present invention relates to therapeutic methods, us- es and compositions comprising CCBE1 and VEGF-C for treating disorders and conditions involving impaired lym- phatic system, particularly lymphedema.

The invention belongs to the technical field of medical equipment, and particularly relates to a lymphedema therapeutic apparatus. The lymphedema therapeutic apparatus comprises a folding deck chair,a control device, a chest massage mechanism, an upper limb massage mechanism and a lower massage mechanism, wherein the chest massage mechanism is detachably mounted on the folding deck chair and usedfor chest lymphedema massage treatment of a patient; the upper limb massage mechanism is detachably mounted at an armrest of the folding deck chair and used for upper limb massage treatment of the patient; the lower massage mechanism is detachably mounted on the folding deck chair and used for lymphedema massage treatment of the crotch and parts below the crotch of the patient; and the chest massage mechanism, the upper limb massage mechanism and the lower massage mechanism are all electrically connected with the control device. The lymphedema therapeutic apparatus is good in universality, can also complete lymphedema treatment of a plurality of parts of the patient and even lymphedema treatment of the whole body, greatly shortens the time for the patient to wait for treatment and improves the treatment efficiency.

The invention relates to a medicament for treating lymphedema and venous edema. The medicament is mainly prepared from the following crude drugs in parts by weight: 20-40 parts of Sophora flavescens, 5-15 parts of Scrophulariaceae, and 5-15 parts of Salvia miltiorrhiza. The invention also discloses the use of the drug for treating lymphedema and venous edema. The invention belongs to the compound preparation of traditional Chinese medicine, and its compatibility conforms to the principle of "junchenzuoshi" of traditional Chinese medicine. It is verified by pharmacodynamic experiments that the medicine can significantly reduce lymphedema and venous edema of patients, prevent and treat skin tissue infection, skin, subcutaneous tissue hyperplasia and Complications of fibrosis. Sophora flavescens, Radix Scrophulariae and Salvia miltiorrhiza in drugs for treating lymphedema and venous edema have obvious synergistic effects, ginger can reduce the coldness of drugs, and amomum has the effect of nourishing the stomach. Therefore, the medicament of the present invention reduces the side effect of stomach discomfort while improving the curative effect. The medicine has few side effects, is suitable for long-term use, and is a safe and effective medicine for treating lymphedema.

The invention provides application of a drug intervention target in preparation of a drug for treating and / or relieving lymphedema. The target is a TREM1 gene and an encoding protein thereof. The invention further provides application of the drug intervention target in preparation of a drug for treating tissue fibrosis and / or fat deposition and application of the drug intervention target in preparation of a drug for inhibiting expression of harmful inflammatory factors or reducing the number of pro-inflammatory macrophages. The targets are TREM1 genes and encoding proteins thereof. The drug is a polypeptide drug capable of interfering the binding of TREM1 and a ligand thereof, and on the basis, drugs, including polypeptides, designed aiming at the targets can be used for treating and relieving the lymphedema. The invention provides new drug targets and a new drug choice for treatment and / or alleviation of the lymphedema.

The invention relates to the field of lymphatic drainage instruments, in particular to a lymphedema limb tail end pressure treatment device which comprises a limb wearing belt worn on the arm and / or the leg of a patient and provided with an outer circumferential face and an inner circumferential face extending in the circumferential direction. a connecting mechanism is arranged on the limb wearing belt; a main control mechanism is detachably connected to the limb wearing belt and can slide on the limb wearing belt; At least one limb front end wearing belt is worn on fingers and / or toes of a patient and are provided with inner peripheral surfaces of outer peripheral surfaces extending in the circumferential direction, and each limb front end wearing belt is communicated with the main control mechanism through a connecting pipeline; according to the invention, the defect that the traditional interstitial airwave pressure therapy (IPC) cannot be used for lymphatic drainage of fingers and toes can be overcome, and a patient can be helped to better carry out detumescence treatment.
