BACKGROUND:Schatzker V and VI tibial plateau fractures are often accompanied by severe articular facet colapse, separation of tibial condyles, damage of soft tissue and peripheral blood vessels. To reduce soft tissue damage, clinical treatments include limited open and reduction, Kirschner wire internal fixation and external fixation, however, these treatments are ineffective for the reduction of articular facet. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the biocompatibility of titanium aloy locking compression plate fixation through the medial or posteromedial combined anterolateral approaches for treatment of Schatzker V and VI tibial plateau fractures. METHODS:Fifty patients of Schatzker V and VI tibial plateau fractures recruited from our hospital were analyzed retrospectively, and were treated with locking plate fixation through the combined approaches. The repair effect in patients was observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After plate fixation, the fractures in 50 patients were clinicaly healed, no cases appeared nonunion, loosening or breakage. According to the Rasmussen Rating, anatomical location average score was (14.3±1.9) points, with the good rate of 90%; average score of knee function was (24.3±2.5) points, with the good rate of 84%. At 1 year post-surgery, knee flexion range was 100°-130°, average 115°. Experimental findings indicate that, the plate fixation through the combined approaches can achieve good stability, good fracture reduction, and good functional recovery in treatment of Schatzker V and VI tibial plateau fractures.

Objective To evaluate the use of LHRH A for treating prostatic cancer with the occurrence of metastasis or recurrence after castration. Methods LHRH A has been instituted to 9 cases of pathologically verified prostatic cancer with the occurrence of metastasis or recurrence after castration.The therapeutic results were studied. Results Ideal improvement was noted in 4 with all the parameters turned normal.These 4 patients have survived well for 7,3,2 and 1 year respectively.Marked improvement occurred in 2 with part of the parameters turned normal or markedly improved shortly after the treatment.The condition of 1 patient became stable with drop of blood PSA and shrinkage of the prostatic mass.In 3 patients,the metastatic lesion became stable.with the use of LHRH A,the penis became markedly atrophic. Conclusions LHRH A is markedly effective in most cases of prostatic cancer with the occurrence of metastasis or recurrence after castration.The therapeutic efficacy depends on the sensitivity of the prostate cancer cells to the drug.Drug resistance may issue as time goes by.

BACKGROUND: The upward attack of drug-heat is a special type of syndromes of coexistence of cold and heat, it influence the treatment and conversion of the primary disease.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the pathophysiological basis of upward attack of drug-heat.DESIGN: A randomized and controlled observation. SETTING: Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) of the People' s Central Hospital of Huizhou City.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 427 patients with cold syndrome, visiting on Department of TCM of the People's Central Hospital of Huizhou City from January 1996 to December 2001, were given warm-heat remedy. Among them 66 cases, 30 males and 36 females, got upward attack of drug-heat during the process of treatment were enrolled. All these subjects, according to their visiting order, at a ratio of 2:1, were chosen as treatment group (44 cases) and control group (22 cases).METHODS: For the patients in treatment group: Rhubarb 6 g was added boiling water 100 mL and soaked for 8 minutes, then the soaking solution was given to the patients, once a day, for 3 days successively. For patients in control group: Table salt 6 g was added boiling water 100 mL for soaking for 8 minutes, after the salt was completely dissolved, the solution was given to the patients, once a day for 3 days successively. The patients of the two groups were at the same time given remedy to treat cold syndrome. The changes of free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyronine (FT4), high sensitizing thyroid-stimulating hormone (HS-TSH) and cortisol of the patients were detected before and after administration of warm-heat remedy, before and after medication with rhubarb. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① The changes of the relevant hormones of the patients with upward attack of drug-heat before and after ad ministration of warm-heat remedy. ② The changes of the relevant hormones of the patients with upward attack of drug-heat before and after ad ministration of rhubarb. ③ Comparison of the therapeutic effects in the two groups.RESULTS: All 66 patients involved entered the final result analysis. ①The changes of the relevant hormones of the patients with upward attack of drug-heat before and after administration of warm-heat remedy: FT3 and FT4 were decreased as compared with those before treatment [(2.51±1.20),(6.50±2.30); (10.01±3.21), (15.50±6.31) pmol/L], but HS-TSH and cortisol were increased as compared with those before treatment [(8.25 ±3.75),(4.11±1.75) mU/L; (0.56±0.17), (0.43±0.10) μmol/L]. ② The changes of the relevant hormones of the patients with upward attack of drug-heat before and after administration of rhubarb: FT3 and FT4 ywere increased as compared with those before treatment[(4.71 ±1.56), (2.45±1.25); (14.21 ±4.61),(10.21±3.52) pmol/L], but HS-TSH and cortisol were decreased as compared with those before treatment [(6.24±2.25), (8.35±3.51) mU/L; (0.48±0.10),(0.60±0.17) μmol/L]. ③ Comparison of the therapeutic effects in the two groups: The rate of excellenly effect in treatment group was obviously higher than that in control group (33%, 5%).CONCLUSION: The pathophysiological basis of upward attack of drug heat is stress state of the body, the secretions of the pituitary-thyroid axis play a role of physiological protection, the adrenocortical function is hyperactive, and rhubarb can control this stress state through inhibiting the metabolism of the body.

Traditionally,the nellrorl of central nervous system has been regarded as lack of regeneration capability.Recent studies have found that cerebral ischemia may activate neurogenesis in brains of adult mammals,and bring new hope for neural repair after ischemic brain injury.It is very necessary to fully understand the site of neurogenesis,process and neurogenesis after cerebral ischemia and its regulation mechanisms in adult mammals.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of ginkgolide (GL) on the cerebral blood flow in dogs. METHODS: Dogs anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital were randomly divided into 5 groups, with 4 dogs in each group. Ginkgolide of 4.86, 14.6 and 43.7 mg/kg and Xingling Granule of 0.22 g/kg were administered by gavage to the dogs in each of 4 groups. The dogs in the other group were administered with edible oil (1 ml/kg) as control group. The cerebral blood flow, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial blood pressure and electro-cardiogram of the dogs were measured at different times after the administration. RESULTS: Ginkgolide of 4.86, 14.6 and 43.7 mg/kg had no obvious effects on the blood pressure and the heart rate. Ginkgolide of 14.6 and 43.7 mg/kg increased the cerebral blood flow 90 minutes after administration, and ginkgolide of 43.7 mg/kg obviously decreased the cerebral vascular resistance 150 minutes after administration. CONCLUSION: Ginkgolide can increase the cerebral blood flow and decrease the cerebral vascular resistance, and it has no obvious effects on blood pressure and heart rate in dogs.
