Objective To study the diagnostic and therapeutic value of 1.4-metre colonoscope for upper jejunum lesions. Methods From 2008 to 2009, patients with suspected upper jejunum lesions, who presented as obscure gastrointestinal bleeding or other digestive symptoms and got no definite diagnosis from gastroscopy and entire digestive tract barium meal, were recruited as experimental group (n = 115) and underwent an examination with 1.4-metre endoscope. The endoscope was inserted into proximal jejunum, biopsy or treatment was performed according to the found lesions. Another 115 patients from 2004 to 2007, who presented with similar situation but were examined with gastroscope, were recruited as control group. Results Descending duodenum was accessed successfully in all cases from 2 groups. Horizontal duodenum was accessed in 112 and 107 cases of experimental group and control, respectively (97. 39% vs. 93.04%, P >0. 05), while the ascending part was accessed in 109 and 72 cases, respectively (94.78% vs. 62.61%, P<0.005), and the proximal jejunum was accessed in 102 and 35 cases, respectively (88.70% vs. 30. 43%, P < 0. 005). A total of 31 (26. 96%) lesions were found in experimental group, which was significantly higher than that in control group (6/115, 5.22%, P <0.005). Biopsy or endoscopic management was performed in 20 cases from experimental group, in which 12 occupying lesions were confirmed by pathology and surgery. In control group, 1 case of stromal tumor, 1 adenocarcinma, 1 P-J syndrome and 3 ancylostomiasis at horizontal duodenum were confirmed. Conclusion 1.4-metre endoscope can be inserted deeper than gastroscope, and is of better diagnostic value for bleeding in descending duodenum, especially in upper jejunum.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic degenerative disease, and its condition tends to worsen with age. The pathogenesis of OA is complex, and many risk factors can lead to the occurrence of OA. Iron is one of the essential trace elements in the body, and its metabolic balance is extremely important to human health. Iron overload is closely related to the occurrence and development of OA. Excessive iron deposition in joint tissue can easily lead to lesions of articular cartilage and synovium, as well as affect subchondral bone reconstruction and lead to the occurrence of OA. The author reviewed the relevant research literature in recent years, and reviewed the mechanism of iron overload in the occurrence and development of OA, in order to provide new ideas and directions for the research and diagnosis and treatment of OA.

Tendon-bone healing is a complex biological process. Multiple signaling pathways are involved in tendon-bone healing, including transforming growth factor-β signaling pathway, bone morphogenetic protein signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway, fibroblast growth factor signaling pathway and nuclear transcription factor-κB signaling pathway. This paper summarizes the research status of traditional Chinese medicine regulating related signaling pathways to promote tendon-bone healing. It is found that a variety of traditional Chinese medicine monomers or herbal extracts (such as baicalein, icariin, total flavonoids of Drynaria fortunei, parthenolide, total saponins of Panax notoginseng, etc.) and traditional Chinese medicine compounds (such as Taohong siwu decoction, Liuwei dihuang pill, Xujin jiegu liquid, etc.) can promote bone formation, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation, by regulating the above signaling pathways, thereby effectively promoting tendon-bone healing.
