Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of artificial tiger bone powder on osteoporosis.Methods The postmenopausal women with osteoporosis were randomly divided into treatment group and control group,31 cases in each group.The treatment group orally received artificial tiger bone powder,the control group orally received Caltrate D.At the beginning and 3,6 months after treatment,European health index (EQ-5D),Barthel index (BI) and Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R) were used to evaluate the curative effect.Results There were no significant differences in EQ-5D,BI and FPS-R between the two groups at the beginning of treatment.At 3,6 months after treatment,EQ-5D of the two groups were (0.83 ± 0.09) points vs.(0.77 ± 0.08) points,(0.89 ± 0.07) points vs.(0.84 ± 0.08) points;BI were (74.61 ± 8.39) points vs.(70.07 ± 8.51) points,(77.24 ± 7.15) points vs.(73.31 ±7.41) points;FPS-R were (3.14 ± 1.06) points vs.(3.79 ± 1.12) points,(2.31 ± 0.92) points vs.(2.98 ±0.87) points,which in the treatment group were better than those in the control group (t =2.774,2.619,2.115,2.125,2.347,2.946,all P < 0.05).Conclusion Artificial tiger bone powder can relieve pain in postmenopausal osteoporosis patients,improve the patients' ability and improve their quality of life.And artificial tiger bone powder can effectively treat postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Sixty-two elderly patients with distal radius fractures after fixation with small splints were enrolled in the study from January to December 2014.Patients were randomly divided into intervention and control groups with 31 cases in each group.Patients in both groups received comprehensive prevention for hand swelling, those in intervention group were given additional external administration of sodium aescinate gel (SAG), 1 g, t.i.d for 7 d.Swelling score and visual analogue scale (VAS) were documented before and 3, 7 d after intervention.At the time of fracture healing, the wrist functions, including motions of flexion-extension, motions of radial-ulnar and motions of pronation-supination were examined.At 3 and 7 d after intervention, the swelling score(1.22 ±0.69 vs.1.65 ±0.75 and 0.64 ±0.42 vs.0.96 ±0.71) and VAS(1.96 ±1.27 vs.2.85 ±1.40 and 1.11 ±0.65 vs.1.86 ±1.09)of intervention group were lower than those of control group (all P<0.05).At the time of fracture healing, the wrist motions of flexion-extension [(83.7 ±8.6) vs.(77.6 ±7.1)%], motions of radial-ulnar [(83.0 ±7.6) vs.(78.2 ±8.7)%] and motions of pronation-supination [(81.0 ±7.0) vs.(76.2 ±7.5)%] of intervention group were higher than those of control group ( P <0.05 ) .The results indicate that SAG can reduce swelling, relief pain and promote the recovery of wrist function in elderly patients with distal radius fractures.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of the sural nerve and saphenous nerve nutrient vascular island flaps in repairing pediatric ankle or foot soft tissue defect.Methods From June 2009 to January 2013,19 cases of heel soft tissue defect were collected in hospitalized children,in which 10 cases of ankle or foot soft tissue defects were repaired with reversed sural nerve nutrient vascular island flaps and 9 cases with ankle or foot soft tissue defects with reversed saphenous nerve nutrient vascular island flaps.The skin defect areas were from 3 cm× 5 cm~5 cm× 13 cm.Results All neurocutaneous vascular flaps survived after transplantation,the wound of donor area and recipient area healed,and texture and color of flap were good.The postoperative follow-up for 3-30 months (an average 14 months) showed no secondary infection,sensory recovery for S3-S4,texture and color were similar to normal skin,and the limb shape and function were satisfactory.Conclusions The sural nerve and saphenous nerve nutrient vascular island flaps are reliable of blood supply,which do not damage the main vessel,and could reconstruct feeling.Such flaps are ideal to repair foot or ankle soft tissue defects.

Objective To study the role of maintaining ventilator tubing at low position in prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).Methods From January 2010 through December 2011,110 cases with invasive mechanical ventilation in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) were randomly divided into observation group (n =55) and control group (n =55).The patients of control group were given conventional prevention method including the head elevated 30°-45°.The patients of observation group were given prevention method of keeping ventilator tubing at low position in addition to conventional prevention method so as to avoid the condensate in ventilator tubing into the airway.After mechanical ventilation support for 28 days,the incidence of VAP,duration of mechanical ventilation,length of ICU stay,incidence of condensate flowing back,clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS) and mortality were respectively recorded.At the same time,risk of mistakenly extubation by nurses was recorded.Results The comparison between two groups showed the incidence of VAP (16.36% vs.34.55%),duration of mechanical ventilation (5.86 ± 2.66) d vs.(11.24 ± 3.80) d,length of stay in the ICU (13.60 ± 4.83) d vs.(19.58 ±5.27) d,incidence of condensate backflow (3.64% vs.49.09%),presenting significant differences between two groups (P < 0.05).The CPIS of observation group was lower than that of the control group (P <0.05),and the mortality in observation group (21.82%) was lower than that in the control group (27.27%),but the difference was not significant (P >0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in risk of mistakenly extubation between two groups (P > 0.05).Conclusion Maintaining the ventilator tubing at low position can reduce the incidence of VAP,improve the prognosis,and the risk of mistakenly extubation did not increase compared with the conventional methods
