BACKGROUND: The far-infrared ceramic microspheres developed by the State Key Laboratory of “new ceramics and fine technology” of School of Materials, Tsinghua University, are made with ceramic colloidal injection molding technology. It is a new type of physical therapy material in the field of sports rehabilitation and daily health care. With its unique small circular structure, it can completely cover the damaged parts such as feet, waist, thigh, etc. to achieve comprehensive stimulation intervention. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of far-infrared ceramic microspheres on pain Intensity after muscle injury. METHODS: Thirty college students aged 18-21 years who met the diagnosis standard of posterior femoral muscle group injury were included in this study. All of them provided informed consent. They were randomly divided into three groups, with 10 students per group. Students in the massage group underwent massage therapy. Students in the far-infrared instrument group were treated with ordinary far-infrared therapeutic apparatus. Students in the far-infrared ceramic microsphere Intervention group underwent far-infrared ceramic microsphere intervention. All treatments lasted 2 successive weeks. Before and 3, 7, and 14 days after treatment, McGill pain scale score (including pain rating index, visual analogue score and present pain intensity) was measured and compared within and between groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Before treatment, there were no significant differences in pain rating index (sensory, affective, and total pain rating index scores), visual analogue score and present pain intensity between three groups (P > 0.05). (2) At 3 days of treatment, pain rating index, visual analogue score and present pain intensity score in the far-infrared ceramic microsphere intervention group were significantly lower compared with the massage and far-infrared instrument groups (P < 0.05). After 7 and 14 days of treatment, each studied indicator in the far-infrared ceramic microsphere intervention group was highly significantly lower compared with the other two groups (P < 0.01). (3) At 3 days of treatment, score of each pain indicator in the far-infrared ceramic microsphere intervention group was significantly lower compared with before treatment (P < 0.05), and it was significantly decreased compared with that measured concurrently in the other two groups (P < 0.05). (4) At 7 days of treatment, score of each pain indicator in the far-infrared ceramic microsphere intervention group was significantly lower compared with before treatment (P < 0.01), and it was significantly decreased compared with that measured concurrently in the other two groups (P < 0.05). (5) After 14 days of treatment, score of each pain indicator in the massage and far-infrared instrument groups was significantly lower compared with before treatment (P < 0.05). After 14 days of treatment, score of each pain indicator in the far-infrared ceramic microsphere intervention group was highly significantly lower compared with before treatment (P < 0.01). After 14 days of treatment, score of each pain indicator in the far-infrared ceramic microsphere intervention group was significantly lower compared with the other two groups. These findings suggest that far-infrared ceramic microsphere intervention can effectively reduce the degree of posterior femoral muscle group Injury and effectively promote the recovery of muscle injury.

Purpose To discuss the value of MRI in the diagnosis of placenta implantation abnormality, and to explore preliminarily the relationship between MRI signs and types of placenta implantation abnormality. Materials and Methods The clinical preoperative data and postnatal pathological findings of 54 women at high risk of placenta accreta were collected. All the patients undertook the conventional pelvic MRI examination. The scanning sequences mainly included: sagittal, coronal and axial T2-weighted imaging-turbo spin echo, balance fast field echo. The MRI images were observed and the areas which showed low signal in all the three directions on T2WI were measured. Then the correlation between the areas of low signal on T2WI in placental and the types of placenta implantation abnormality was analyzed. Results The incidence of placenta implantation abnormality was 64.8% in our research (35/54). The main MRI signs were low signal on T2WI (68.5%, 37/54) and heterogeneous signal in placenta (57.4%, 31/54); the main sign of placenta percreta was tenting bladder (75.0%, 6/8). The types of placenta implantation abnormality were positively correlated with the areas of low signal on T2WI (r=0.454, P<0.05). Conclusion Pregnant women at risk of placenta accreta should be evaluated with imaging examinations, particularly with MRI scanning, to improve disease detection rate. The typical indirect signs of placenta implantation abnormality are low signal on T2WI and heterogeneous signal in placenta. The larger size of low signal area on T2WI in placenta, the deeper implantation of placenta.

BACKGROUND: Natural bilogical bone-derived materials processed with physical and chemical methods possess natural network pore system. They have good cellular compatibility, and help osteoblasts attach and grow on them, and can be used as the scaffolds of osteoblasts.OBJECTIVE: To observe the osteogenetic effect of partially deproteinised decalcified bone (PDDB) as scaffolds of osteoblasts in vivo.DESIGN: A randomized and controlled trial.SETTING: Central Laboratory of the First Hospital of Kunming Medical College.MATERIALS: Partially deproteinised decalcified bone; human embryonic periosteum-derived osteoblasts; twenty 4-week-old BALB/c nude mice,with the body mass of 25 to 28 g, of either gender.METHODS: This experiment was conducted at the Central Laboratory of the First Affiliated Hospital of Kuming Medical College from January to June 2003. PDDB composited with human embryonic periostea-induced osteoblasts were implanted into the nude mice after cultured for 1 week in vivo, 4 scaffolds in each nude mouse. Composite of scalfolds and cells implanted on the left side of the spine was set as experimental side and simple implanted material on the right side of the spine was set as blank control side. Then alkaline phosphatase activity and routine histological examination were performed 4 and 8 weeks after operation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: General observation, alkaline phosphatase activity and routine histological examination were performed after the materials were taken out.RESULTS: Twenty nude mice entered the stage of result analysis. ① General observation of the implanted materials: No necrosis, ecpyesis, or fluidifying was found around the implanted materials, but ingrowth and enwrapption of soft tissues were found. ② Measurement of alkaline phosphatase activity: alkaline phosphatase activity after PDDB composited osteoblasts in vivo was stronger at week 8 than at week 4 [(22.854±6.018) nkat/g vs(11.286±4.268) nkat/g], and was much stronger than that of the simple implanted materials [(1.217±0.083) nkat/g vs (2.717±0.583) nkat/g]. ③ Results of routine histological examination: Cartilage formed at week 4 and part of cartilage formed new bone and marrow cavity at week 8 at the experimental side, cartilage and new bone formed much more as time went by, but there was no any cartilage or bone formation at the control side.CONCLUSION: Cartilage and bone form after PDDB composited with osteoblasts are implanted, and more cartilage and new bone form as time passes. PDDB can be used as the scaffolds of osteoblasts.
