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.

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.

AIM: To explore the effects of glucocorticoids on fracture healing in a rat model of tibial fracture. METHODS: Sixty three months old female SD rats were divided into control and glucocorticoid-treated group. A glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis model was established by intramuscular injection of prednisolone acetate (5 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1) for 3 weeks), in which the tibial was osteotomized by a wire saw as fracture healing model and internal fixed with a Kirschner pin. The rats were scarified at different time points after operation. The callus formation was monitored over a period of 6 weeks by histological method, bone mineral density (BMD) detection and biomechanical examination. Western blotting was used to measure the expression of type II collagen. RESULTS: A glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis model was successfully established and conformed by BMD measurement. The formation of primary callus was observed in both groups 3 days after fracture. At 2 weeks after injury, the glucocorticoid-treated group had a lower BMD and less cartilage matrix as compared to control group. An increase in bone callus and chondrogenesis was observed at 4 to 6 weeks after fracture in glucocorticoid-treated group as compared to control group. The expression of type II collagen was delayed in glucocorticoid-treated group. Biomechanical measurement showed that the actual maximum load was increased by 35.8% in control group as compared to glucocorticoid-treated group at 6th week. CONCLUSION: These results indicate that chondrogenesis and transformation from cartilage callus to bony callus are delayed by glucocorticoids. The retardation of collagen Ⅱ production may be the reason for the inhibition of fracture healing.
