BACKGROUND: Buqi tongluo prescription, which is characterized by invigorating qi and promoting blood circulation, dredging collaterals and dispersing stagnation, promoting tissue regeneration, and promoting blood circulation to remove obstruction in the collateral, can promote blood circulation at local injured part and ameliorate nutrien of nerve so as to accelerate axonal regeneration of peripheral nerve and functional recovery of nerve conduction.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of buqi tongluo prescription of various agents on recovery of nerve function after peripheral nerve injury and compare the results with the combination of vitamin B1 and B6.DESIGN: Randomized controlled animal study.SETTING: Department of Orthopaedics of the First Hospital Affiliated to Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.MATERIALS: A total of 48 Wistar rats of confined clean grade were selected in this study. After modeling on right sciatic nerve, rats were randomly divided into buqi tongluo capsule group, buqi tongluo parenteral solution group, vitamin group and blank group with 12 in each group.METHODS: All rats were cut their right sciatic nerve laterally, and then anastomosis in situ was used immediately to establish models of peripheral nerve injury. Administration began on the third day after operation once a day. ① Rats in buqi tongluo capsule group were perfused with powder of buqi tongluo capsule (including huangqi, renshen, danggui, chuanxiong and danshen which was diluted with saline) of 0.9 g/(kg·d) raw drugs (ig). ② Rats in buqi tongluo parenteral solution group were injected with 0.9 g/(kg·d) buqi tongluo parenteral solution (ip). ③ Rats in vitamin group were perfused with 15 mg/(kg·d) suspension (1.5 g/L) of vitamin B1 and B6.④ Rats in blank group were perfused with 0.01 mL/g saline.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Four rats from each group were selected for 4, 8 and 12 week time points after administration to record bilateral nerve conduction velocity. Recovery rate was regarded as the ration between nerve conduction velocity at the injured side and nerve conduction velocity at the normal side.RESULTS: A total of 48 rats were involved in the final analysis. ① At each time point, nerve conduction velocity in two buqi tongluo prescription groups were faster than that in vitamin group and blank group (P ＜ 0.05, 0.01), and that in vitamin group was faster than that in blank group (P ＜ 0.05). ②At each time point, recovery rate of nerve conduction velocity in two buqi tongluo prescription groups was higher than that in vitamin group and blank group (P ＜ 0.05, 0.01), and that in vitamin group was higher than that in blank group (P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: Both buqi tongluo capsule and buqi tongluo parenteral solution can promote recovery of nerve function after peripheral nerve injury, and the effect is superior to that of vitamin B1 and B6.

[Objective] To investigate the therapeutic effect of early anterior bone grafting and internal fixation after focal cleaning and vertebral canal decompression for the treatment of tuberculosis of thoracolumbar vertebrae. [ Methods ] A retrospective study was carried out in 26 patients with thoracolumbar vertebral tuberculosis (TVT) who received early anterior bone grafting and internal fixation after focal cleaning and vertebral canal decompression. After treatment, the therapeutic effect was evaluated by observing the recovery of nerve function. [Results] The result of a follow-up ranging from 8 months to five years and 4 months showed that all the cases wi vertebral tuberculosis were cured, free from relapse. The internal fixation and bone graf(?)ing for fusion were good, and nerve function recovered, maintaining a good state. The nerve function of six patients with incomplete paralysis fully recovered. [Conclusion] Early anterior bone grafting and internal fixation after focal cleaning and vertebral canal decompression are effective to promote the recovery of nerve function of TVT patients. This regimen is capable of relieving or preventing spinal compression promptly, rebuilding the stability of the spine and presenting the focal diffusion, beneficial to the recovery of the patients.

[Objective] To investigate the effect of SKY expander vertebroplasty and KYPHON vertebroplasty for compression fracture of thoracic/lumbar vertebral body. [Methods] Twenty-one patients (group A) with compression fracture in 27 thoracic/lumbar vertebral bodies were enrolled to this study. Among them, 17 fractured vertebral bodies from 15 patients received SKY expander vertebroplasty and another 10 fractured vertebral bodies from 6 patients received KYPHON vertebroplasty. Thirty-three patients (group B) with compression fracture in 35 thoracic/lumbar vertebral bodies receiving conservative treatment during the same period served as the control. After treatment, the therapeutic effect and result of X-ray image were compared in the two groups. [Results] A follow-up ranging from 1 month to 11 months showed that pain in the loin and back, decrease of vertebral height, complications of leaking of bone cement, and bed sore (which occurred in group B) were not found in the patients receiving vertebroplasty. [Conclusion] SKY expander vertebroplasty and KYPHON vertebroplasty are effective and safe for compression fracture of thoracic/lumbar vertebral body, which can relieve the back and loin pain as soon as possible, reconstruct the vertebral body, decrease the occurrence of complications and promote the rehabilitation, and have a better effect than conservative treatment. For the two kinds of vertebroplasty, SKY expander vertebroplasty is economic and indicated for single vertebral fracture and old fracture, and KYPHON vertebroplasty is indicated for multiple vertebral fracture, severe fracture, and vertebral body fracture with end-plate broken.

Objective To observe the preventive effect of mannatide on infection and relapse of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purura(ITP).Methods One hundred and twenty children with ITP were randomly divided into mannatide treatment group and prednisone control group.Control group venous dexamethasone of 3 d;then treated by prednisone.Treatment group added mannatide tablets for 1 month.The rates of remission clinical blood,platelet,control time,complicated infection and relapse rates were observed.The levels of plasma immunoglobulin(Ig)G,IgA,IgM were determined before and after mannatide treatment.Results The rate of clinical blood,platelet,control time,infection time was not different in 2 groups.The rates of infection complicated and relapse were all significant lower than that in control group.The plasma IgG,IgA significantly increased than that in control group.The plasma IgM had no significant difference.Conclusion Vaccine therapy can be helpful in protecting and decreasing infection,diminishing relapse of children with ITP,and improve the level of IgG,IgA,and thus improve their immune function.

Objective To investigate the clinical treatment of brucellosis spondylitis (BS) through combination of Mongolian medicine and Western medicine.Methods From December 2010 to June 2015,51 patients which were diagnosed BS at the Department of Brucellosis Hulunbuir People's Hospital were enrolled in this study.After injecting etimicin sulfate and levofloxacin for two weeks,rifampin and doxycycline were administrated orally with Silver pearl pill,Pearl pill and Yunxiang pill (tid) for one treatment cycle which contained three courses of each treatment for 3 weeks.Before and after the treatment,the clinical features and imaging examination results were observed of 2 cases and then followed up for one year.Results Before the treatment,any spinal segment can be affected especially the lumbar spine.Two cases of cervical damage,5 cases of thoracic vertebrae,47 cases of lumbar spine,2 cases of sacral vertebrae,and 39 cases of vertebral abscess were found.After treatment,low back pain symptoms disappeared in 10 cases of the patients.Thirty-nine patients with low back pain symptoms and limited movement.Two patients with low back pain aggravated,MRI examination of the lumbar spine showed lesions increased and abscess formation.The effective rate of Mongolian herbal medicine and Western medicine treatment was 96.1％ (49/51).Conclusion The combined treatment of BS through combination of Mongolia medicine and Western medicine is effective.
