Ankle joint sprain has the highest incidence in joints sprain,latest years,there are some evolving in acupuncture treatment for ankle joint sprain.The authors reviewed the clinical treatment and investigation of acupuncture treatment for ankle joint sprain,and indicate the existent problems.

Emotion recognition will be prosperious in multifarious applications, like distance education, healthcare, and human-computer interactions, etc. Emotions can be recognized from the behavior signals such as speech, facial expressions, gestures or the physiological signals such as electroencephalogram and electrocardiogram. Contrast to other methods, the physiological signals based emotion recognition can achieve more objective and effective results because it is almost impossible to be disguised. This paper introduces recent advancements in emotion research using physiological signals, specified to its emotion model, elicitation stimuli, feature extraction and classification methods. Finally the paper also discusses some research challenges and future developments.

Stem cell is one of the hot spot in the research area of biomedical engineering. Special attentions are drawn to the research and application of neural stem cells. Neural stem cells exist widely in central nervous system, which has the capacity of self-renewal and the potential to differentiate into other cells. The so-called engineered neural stem cell is constructed by using the technique of genetic engineering to make it be able to express various neural growth factors with high-performance and stability. The engineered neural stem cells have a great potential in the therapy of diseases of central nervous system, especially the spinal cord injury. This article reviews the research development of engineered neural stem cells, the problems confronted with it, and the trend for research in the future.

BACKGROUND:The region around the hip is a bone tumor predilection site. It is difficult to conduct tumor resection due to the involvement of weight loading area. Tumor resection requires high surgical technique. The pelvis and hip are often needed to be rebuilt.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the effects of three reconstruction methods after tumor resection around the hip.
METHODS:From January 2007 to December 2012, 20 patients with bone tumors around the hip were treated by surgery in the Zhongshan Hospital, Wuhan University, including 7 benign tumors, 13 borderline and malignant tumors. Eight patients received al ograft. Eight patients received arthroplasty. Four patients received saddle prosthesis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 20 patients were fol owed up for 5 to 60 months (averagely 40 months). According to Enneking evaluation criterion, the operative outcome was evaluated as excellent in 8 cases, good in 5 cases, average in 4 cases, and poor in 3 cases. Excellent and good rate was 65%. Results suggested that after excision of bone tumors, al ograft, arthroplasty or saddle prosthesis can significantly elevate patient’s survival rate, improve patient’s living quality and is an effective therapy for treating tumors around the hip.

Objective To study syndrome and pathogenesis of patients of chronic hepatitis B treated by Lamivudine. Methods By Observing clinical information of Chinese medical symptoms, physical signs,tongue and pulse, TCM syndrome of 103 patients of Chronic Hepatitis B treated by Lamivudine were differentiated by two attending doctors and analyzed. Results Patten of 103 patients were: spleen deficiency and damp-heat (20.38%), spleen deficiency (20.38%), endoretention of damp-heat (19.41%), liver depression and spleen deficiency(13.59%), liver yin deficiency (8.73%); Syndrome of 103 patients were: spleen deficiency (47.57%), damp-heat (43.68%), liver depression (11.65%), liver yin deficiency (10.67%), blood stasis (8.73%), kidney yin deficiency (3.88%). Conclusion Pathogenesis of patients of chronic hepatitis B treated by Lamivudine was spleen-liver-kidney deficiency, and endoretention of damp-heat; Nature of disease was deficiency in origin and excess in superficiality, and simultaneous deficiency and excess; Common syndromes were spleen deficiency, damp-heat, liver depression, liver yin deficiency, blood stasis, and kidney yin deficiency.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of CT staging for esophageal cancer. Methods A retrospective analysis of 304 patients treated,from Jan. 1996 to Dec. 1998 chiefly with radiotherapy(126 conventional radiotherapy,55-65 Gy/27-35 fx/5.5-7.0 w;178 late-course accelerated hyperfractionated radiotherapy ,55-60 Gy/33-36 fx/ 4.5 -5.5 w)complete with CT data before treatment was done. The long survival was compared with pre-therapy CT findings and CT staging. ResultsThe survival rate of stage T1+T2 was very significantly different from those lesion with stage T3,T4(? 2=12.90,P0.05).The survival rates of patients positive for lymph nodes or distant metastasis were lower. Conclusion CT staging is quite optimal for non-operable esophageal cancer in clinical staging,as it is conducive to predict the prognosis.

Objective To investigate the morphological changes, apoptosis and brain-derived neurotrophic factor mRNA(BDNF mRNA)expression in rat conus medullaris induced by cauda equine compression, and to discuss the possible mechanisms. Methods Ninety male SD rats were divided into 3 groups: normal control, sham operation,and cauda equine compressed. The animals were sacrificed and took samples in 30 min, 2 hours,4 hours,8 hours,1 day,3 days,1 week,2 weeks,3 weeks after cauda equine compression model were created. The morphological study concerned with cauda equina and conus medullaris was done under light microscope and transmission electron microscope. TUNEL staining and in situ hybridization staining were used to investigate apoptosis and BDNF mRNA expression changes. The positive cells in 1mm2 were calculated,and the data were disposed through one way analysis of variance. Results Histological observation showed notable alteration of cauda equina and neurons in conus medullaris. The positive cells of TUNEL and BDNF mRNA in situ hybridization staining increased in 8 hours and 4 hours after cauda equina compressed,and both reached the climax in 3days after cauda equina compressed. At the time 3weeks after cauda equine compressed, the positive cells were still much higher than that of the control groups. Conclusion The compression of cauda equina will result in neurons morphological changes and apoptosis in medullary cone,and cause central neuron un-reversible injury. It might be one of the reasons why the prognosis is poor in cauda equina syndrome. Neurons and glial cells may produce BDNF by themselves to survival from cauda equina compression.
