Objective: To investigate the effect of function of knee on quality of life (QOL) in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Method: Forty patients with knee OA were recruited. Their function, pain and range of motion (ROM) of knee were assessed with Lequesne index, Lysholm knee score (LKSS), visual analogue scale (VAS) and protractor measure respectively. QOL was evaluated with arthritis impact measurement scale (AIMS). Result: The scores of AIMS, Lequesne and VAS in female were significantly higher than that in male. And the LKSS in female was significantly lower than that in male (P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between AIMS score and Lequesne index, VAS score and limit of ROM, but a negative correlation between AIMS and LKSS (P<0.05). Conclusion: The function of knee and QOL in female patients with OA were worse than that in male patients. Pain, limited ROM and weaken function in knee could effect QOL in OA patients to some extent. Health education and clinical treatment should be provided to improve the function of knee and QOL in OA patients.

Objective To study the influence of couple-centered mental intervention on marital quality and subjective happiness among young-and middle-aged breast cancer patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy.Methods A total of 100 postoperative young-and middle-aged breast cancer patients were divided into observation group (n=50) and control group (n=50) using random digit number table according to the order of hospitalization.The patients in the observation group were given the couple-based mental intervention,and the control were given the routine mental intervention only.The marital quality and subjective happiness between the 2 groups were evaluated and compared by Olson marital quality questionnaire and Memorial University of Newfoundland scale of happiness (MUNSH) respectively before intervention and 6 months after intervention.Result After intervention,both the score of marital quality and subjective happiness in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P＜ 0.05).Conclusion The enforcement of couple-centered mental intervention among the young-and middle-aged breast cancer patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy can significantly improve the marital quality and subjective happiness.

[Objective]To study the safety,clinical effect and therapeutic characteristics of distraction apparatus for correcting flexion contracture deformities of the knee joint by evaluating the clinical outcomes and investigating the results of biomechanic test.[Method]Forty-nine patients (included 52 knees) were treated by the standardized distraction apparatus and the comprehensive assessment standard was adopted to evaluate the clinical outcomes.Five patients were examined by three-dimensional CT of the knee joints pre-operatively and post-operatively to observe the changes in the knee structure.To observe the effect of distraction on the popliteal artery and the limb nerves,the popliteal artery diameter and blood flow speed were examined in 15 patients and the regio cruris electromyogram and nerve conduction velocity were examined in 6 patients before and after treatment.Three different means of distraction and measurement were underwent in 3 patients so as to observe the changes in the flexion curve and force of posterior soft tissues of the knee.[Result]All patients (52 knees) regained congruous structure and better function,the final excellent and good result rate was 65%.Three-dimensional CT examination of 5 patients showed that the postoperative knee joint structures were superior to the preoperative ones and there weren't damage of articular surface.The statistic results indicated that the popliteal arteries weren't obviously disturbed by distraction,whereas the limb nerves were probably disturbed temporarily.Three methods of distraction and measurement in 3 patients showed different outcomes,indicating that the effect of distraction on soft tissues was influenced by the distraction method,the ages of patients and the extents of deformities of the limb.[Conclusion]The distraction speed of therapeutic method is safe,reasonable and effective in correcting flexion contracture of the knee joint;The distraction force on posterior soft tissues of the knee is influenced by various elements,thus,the distraction speed should be individualized.Low-load and steady stretch are advantageous to soft tissue regeneration and safer.

AIM To examine antithrombotic effects of arecoline on the arterial thrombosis induced by carrageenin in mice through modulating the functions of endothelium and determine its mechanisms from hemostatic system, the platelet aggregative functions and the bioactive factors released by vascular endothelial cells. METHODS Kappa carrageenin was given ip in mice and mice were fed at the temperature of 20 to 21 degrees and at the humidity of 30 percent to 50 percent. RESULTS On the foregoing models of thrombosis, arecoline could antagonize the formation of thrombosis through activating the endothelial target for acetylcholine in a dose dependent manner and its antithrombotic potency was 250 to 500 times greater than aspirin; while under the same conditions, pilocarpine could not antagonize the formation of thrombosis. The levels of TT, PT, KPTT and MAR had no prominent changes compaired with control groups. The levels of t-PA became higher greatly than normal and the levels of PAI 1 became lower greatly than normal 2 hours after intravenous injection of arecoline in rats. Arecoline could decrease the higher plasma levels of thromboxane A2 and increase the lower plasma levels of prostacyclin in a dose dependent manner in the mice tail thrombosis induced by carrageenin. CONCLUSION The antithrombotic effects of arecoline are associated with activating the endothelial target for acetylcholine closely, but are not associated with muscarinic receptors,and not relevant to hemostatic systems or functions of platelet aggregation directly.
