Methods Thirty one patients with lumbar disc herniation to whom DCI had been applied were analyzed with 15 to 31 months follow-up. Results The therapeutic effects were excellent in 27, good in 3, fail in 1. The total effective rate was 96.7%.Conclusions DCI is a good method in treating lumbar disc herniation with high effectiveness, extensive indications, low complications and profitable clinical application prospectively.

Objective: To isolate and identify phenolic glycosides and lignans from the rhizomes of Curculigo orchioides Gaertn. Methods: Phenolic glycosides and lignans were isolated by silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 chromatography and semi-preparative HPLC methods. The structures of the isolated compounds were identified by physiochemical and spectral analysis/ Results: Five phenolic glycosides,one lignan and one sitosterol were isolated and identified from Curculigo orchioides Gaertn, namely, 2,6-dimethoxy benzolic acid(1), curculigoside A(2), curculigoside B(3), curculigine A(4), 4-dichlorine-5-hydroxyl-3-methylphenol-1-O-β- D-glucopyranosyl-(1→-6)-β-3-D-gluco-pyranosede(5), 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethoxy-7,9′:7′,9 -diepoxylignan -4, 4′-di-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(6),and β-sitosterol(7). Conclusion: Seven compounds have been isolated from Curculigo orchioides Gaertn; compound 5 is a new chlorine-containing phenol, and is named as curculigine D.

This paper studied on breeding selenium-enriched yeast by protoplast mutagenesis. A strain which the content of selenium is the highest is selected from thirteen strains yeast. The optimum conditions to form protoplast are lysed by 1 g/100 mL lywallzyme for 120 min, the formation and regeneration being 95.2% and 21.8% respectively. By mutating breed a strain of A1 which the content of selenium is 821 mg/kg and the amount of dry cell of 0.84 g/100 mL is obtained.

BACKGROUND: Bone defect repair is a difficulty in orthopedic field all the time, researches on the tissue engineered bone tissue have provided completely new thoughts and methods for bone defect repair, and it is an important link to detect the biocompatibility of the biomaterials.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the biocompatibility of PCL with bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs).DESIGN: A controlled observation.SETTING: Department of Orthopaedics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University.MATERIALS: The experiments were carried out in the orthopedic laboratory of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University. Healthy 4 to 8-week-old New Zealand rabbits of about 2 kg were used.METHODS: ① Bone marrow was extracted from bilateral femurs of the rabbits, then mixed into 10 mL RPMI1640 complete medium, and then entered the passage culture. ② The cells were inoculated and then divided into PCL group and control group, the cells were only inoculated in the control group, and the BMSCs were co-cultured with PCL in vitro in the PCL group. The morphological observed, cell proliferation, protein content and enzymological determinations were conducted.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The growth and the adhesion of BMSCs on PCL biomaterials were mainly observed.RESULTS: In the control group, most of the BMSCs changed to the shape of fusiform or multi-angles. In the PCL group, the BMSCs could adhere and proliferate on PCL, and the growth and function were not affected, PCL also played a certain role in promoting the cell proliferation.CONCLUSION: PCL possess satisfactory biocompatibility, and it is possible to be used as the carrier of BMSCs in tissue engineering.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture with medication for post-stroke depression.Methods:A total of 96 patients with post-stroke depression were randomized into an observation group and a control group,with 48 cases in each group.The control group was treated with oral fluoxetine hydrochloride capsules,and the observation group was treated with acupuncture on the basis of the treatment of the control group.After 6 months of treatment,the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom scores,and Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) component scores and total scores of the two groups before and after treatment were observed,and the clinical efficacy and adverse reaction rate were compared between the two groups.Results:The total effective rate was 95.8％ in the observation group and 83.3％ in the control group,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P＜0.05).After treatment,the intra-group differences in TCM symptom scores and HAMD score of both groups were statistically significant (all P＜0.01).In the observation group,the scores of indifferent expression,emotional restlessness,and sentimentality in the TCM symptoms were statistically different from those in the control group (all P＜0.01).The scores of desperate factor and sleep disorder factor and total score in HAMD in the observation group were significantly different from those in the control group (all P＜0.01).The incidence of adverse reactions was 6.3％ in the observation group and 4.2％ in the control group,and the difference was not significant between the two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion:Acupuncture plus medication is an effective method for post-stroke depression,and it can further improve the patient's bad mood.

OBJECTIVETo study the clinical efficacy of semiextended intramedullary nailing of the tibia using a suprapatellar approach for proximal tibial fractures.

METHODSFrom January 2013 to January 2014, a total of 16 patients with unilateral proximal tibial fractures, 14 males and 2 females, underwent closed reduction and internal fixation with TRIGEN™ META-NAIL™ via the suprapatellar approach. The average age was 42.2 years old (ranged, 26 to 57 years old). Radiographic and clinical follow-up examinations were performed at a minimum of 1 year after surgery. Measurements included surgery time, complications, bone healing time, tibial alignment, knee range of motion, pain scoring (visual analogue scale) and functional outcome (Lysholm knee score).

RESULTSThe average surgery time was (75.7±8.3) minutes (ranged, 65 to 95 minutes). No obvious complications were recorded. Average duration of follow-up was (15.6±8.1) months (ranged, 12 to 24 months). Fifteen patients attained radiological bone union for a mean time of (3.6±1.8) months (ranged, 3 to 5 months). At the final follow-up, all tibial alignments were good, and no patients complained of anterior knee pain. Mean arc of knee motion was (124.4±18.8) degrees for the affected extremity compared with (127.5±16.7) degrees for the contra-lateral knee. The total scores of Lysholm knee score ranged from 77 to 92, average 86.4±12.3.

CONCLUSIONFor proximal tibial fractures,the semiextended intramedullary nailing technique via a suprapatellar approach can obtain satisfactory clinical outcomes with simplicity in reduction and fixation, minimal complications, and good recovery of limbs function.
