Elbow stiffness is a common complication after trauma or surgery to this joint. The soft tissue is a primary factor resulting in stiffness of the elbow. Splints increasing passive range of motion (PROM) with creep or stress relaxation principle play a important role in reconstruction for post-traumatic elbow stiffness. The clinician should follow the basic principle in designing and application of splints. With reasonable resign and appropriate regimen, clinical experience and related research show that splints can improve elbow ROM of post-traumatic elbow stiffness efficiently.

Animal models using for research the cancer matestasis should be entirely similar to the clinical pathological process in patients.Currently,two kinds of animal models with genetic engineering and human tumor xenografts are available in laboratory,which provide a possible research tool to investigate the mechanism of tumor metastasis and explore the experimental treatment.In these models,the techniques including how to select the cell lines and using real-time imaging detection are very important factors.

ObjectiveTo observe the influence of Songling Xuemaikang on the hypertension and hemorheology of hyperlipoidemia patients.Methods40 hyperlipoidemia patients randomly divided into Songling Xuemaikang group and jiao gu la zong dai group as a control.The blood lipid and the improvement of hemorheology before and after treatment were compared.ResultsThe efficiency of lipoidemia decrease of treatment and control group is 86.5％and 82.4％,respectively.There was no significant difference between two groups ( P ＞ 0.05 ).The difference of whole blood high shear viscosity,whole blood low shear viscosity,plasma viscosity,whole blood reduced viscosity and fibrinogen between two groups had significant ( P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionSongling Xuemaikang had effect on both regulating blood lipid and improving the several indexes of hemorheology.It could be an effective and safe drug for prevention and cure cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease.

Objective: To observe the effects of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with hypertension on lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Methods: A case-matched study of fasting plasma glucose (FBG), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HIDL), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), insulin (FIN), C-peptide (FCP) and insulin sensitivity index (ISI) were detected in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with and without hypertensiorn. Results: Twenty patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated hypertension had higher TG、 FINS and FCP, lower HDL and ISI levels than 20 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus without hypertension. Conclusion: Type 2 diabetes mellitus with hypertension had more remarkable lipid metabolic disorder and insulin resistance than type 2 diabetes mellitus without hypertension.

Purpose:To study the effect of recombinated human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF,filgrastim) on leukopenia induced by chemotherapy.Methods:Ten cases of leukopenia of grade Ⅳ induced by chemotherapy of malignant tumor were treated with rhG-CSF . When WBC2.5?109/L, rhG-CSF was stopped.Results:All patients with leukopenia of grade Ⅳ recovered to normal after treatment with rhG-CSF , the average time of usage was 6.8 days. The infection rate was 60%(6/10). Conclusions:Filgrastim is effective in the treatment of leukopenia of grade Ⅳ after chemotherapy, rhG-CSF decreases infection and facilitates chemotherapy.

Atherosclerosis is the pathological basis of ischemic stroke. Peripheral blood leukocytes are involved in the occurrence and progression of atherosclerosis and cause vascular endothelial injury. A series of changes of peripheral immune cel take place after acute ischemic stroke and cause inflammatory cel infiltrating into the brain tissue. The elevated leukocyte count is closely associated with the occurrence and prognosis of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Studies have also shown that the elevated leukocyte count may influence the occurrence of ischemic stroke, neurological deficit, recurrence, and death. This article reviews the relationship between peripheral blood leukocytes and ischemic stroke.

Objective To discuss the relationship between FokI gene polymorphism and colorectal canc-er.Method The references that met the inclusive criteria were assessed .The extracted data were summarized in the form of tables .Data were analyzed by heterogeneity test .Meta-analysis was conducted by using fixed effects model or random effects model .Results Fifteen experimental studies were included in this study ,including 7, 859 colorectal cancer patients and 9,933 controls.The association between VDR gene FokI and colorectal cancer was expressed as the odds ratio(OR)and 95% confidence interval(CI).FokI recessive genetic model,ff versus FF+Ff,ORrecessive=1.01(95% CI=0.87~1.17,I2 =54%,P=0.91),ORdominant =0.94(95% CI=0.83~1.06,I2 =64%,P=0.30);allele model,fversus F,OR=0.98(95% CI=0.89~1.08,I2 =71%,P=0.72).In subgroup analysis,recessive genetic model,ORCaucasian race =0.95(95% CI=0.86~1.05,I2 =0%,P=0.33);ORyellow race=1.12(95%CI=0.77~1.63,I2 =72%,P=0.54).In subgroup analysis,dom-inant gene model,ORCaucasian race =0.95(95% CI=0.86~1.04,I2 =27%,P=0.29);ORyellow race =0.89(95%CI=0.65~1.22,I2 =78%,P=0.47).In subgroup analysis,allele model,ORCaucasian race=0.97 (95%CI=0.90~1.04,I2 =31%,P=0.38);ORyellow race =1(95% CI =0.79 ~1.27,I2 =82%,P=1.00).Conclusion Our results suggested that in VDR gene FokI ,F and f alleles were not obviously directly correlated with colorectal cancer .No difference was found between Asian and Caucasian .The conclusions in other populations should be further identified by extensive experimental studies .

Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is an autoimmune disease,and the pathogenesis of TAO is still unclear at present,so it is difficult to take proper prevention and treatment.TAO is a polygenic disease,it is a result of both genetic and environmental factors.Now a large number of researchers showed genetic predisposition of TAO,such as associated genes about cytokine (CK),human leukocyte antigen DR gene (HLA-DR),uridine diphosphate glucose phosphate dehydrogenase gene (UGDH),parathyroid hormone-like hormone gene (PTHLH),human beta defensin-2 gene (HBD-2),cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen-4 gene (CTLA4),cluster of defferentiation 86 gene (CD86) and CD103 gene,cardiac calsequestrin-2 gene (CASQ-2),Toll-like receptor-9 gene (TLR-9),peroxisome proliferation factor receptorγ activation gene (PPAR-γ2),hyaluronan synthase gene (HAS),hyaluronidase gene (HYAL),etc.This review summarizes the corresponding associations respectively based on specific genetic research,so as to have a system understanding to TAO susceptibility genes.
