1.Investigation of changes of the level of IL-1 and TNF-α on the pathogenesis of patients with knee osteoarthritis
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2010;17(16):2169-2170
Objective To explore the relationships between the levels of synovial fluid and serum interleukin-1(IL-1)and tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α)and severity of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods 50 patients with unilateral OA(18 cases in early stage,15 cases in middle stage,and 17 cases in terminal stage)were included in the study.15 healthy volunteers were examined as the control group.Synovial fluid and serum of all patients and volunteers were collected for measurement of IL-1 and TNF-α. Results The IL-1 and TNF-α levels of synovial fluids and serum in OA group were significantly higher than those of the control group(P <0.01).With the progress of OA,the IL-1 and TNF-α levels were increased significantly(P <0.01).IL-1 level in synovial fluid and serum of OA group was correlated positively with TNF-α level(P <0.01). Conclusion IL-1 and TNF-α were related to OA patients with immune inflammation,and their levels could reflect changes in disease activity.The increasing IL-1 and TNF-α levels in synovial fluids and serum were positively correlated with the progress of OA.Therefore,combined detection of these two indexes could be useful for determining the pathogenetic condition of KOA.

Objective To report effect on treatment tibial fracture asynthesis by external fixator combined with spongy bone implant.Methods From Februryl 999 to February 2002,11 cases of the tibial fractures asynthesis were treated with the external fixator combined with spongy bone implant.Results Follow-up was both clinically and ra-diologically performed in 1 leases.The healing rate of the fracture was 100% in this group.The average healing time was 3.2 months.Conclusion The external fixation combined with spongy bone implant is simple and effective in treatment of the tibial fracture asynthesis.

Objective To study the medication law of Professor Qian Ying in the treatment of primary liver cancer based on data mining technology;To provide ideas for the clinical treatment of primary liver cancer.Methods Outpatient TCM prescriptions of Professor Qian Ying for the treatment of liver cancer from November 2008 to August 2020 were collected,and a data table was established after sorting.The drug frequency,property and taste and tropism were analyzed using Excel 2019.The medical case analysis module of the Great Physician Inheritance Platform was used to analyze the core drugs,the symbiosis analysis between drug pairs,the drug association analysis,and the drug clustering analysis of the screened TCM prescriptions.Results Totally 108 prescriptions were included,involving 188 kinds of Chinese materia medica,with a total frequency of 1 322 times.High-frequency drugs included Hedyotis Sinensis,Angelicae Sinensis Radix,Visci Herba,Curcumae Radix,Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma,etc.The medicinal properties were mainly cold,mild and warm,and the tastes were mainly bitter,sweet and pungent,and the main meridians were liver meridians,spleen meridians,kidney meridians and stomach meridians.There were 9 pairs of high frequency drug combinations in drug association,such as Curcumae Radix-Polygoni Orientalis Fructus,Visci Herba-Curcumae Rhizoma.In the correlation analysis of drug disease,the ones with higher correlations include"stomachache-Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma""abdominal mass-Paeoniae Radix Rubra and Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium""tinnitus-Adenophorae Radix,Lycii Fructus,Visci Herba""prolonged sublingual collaterals-Curcumae Rhizoma,Polygoni Orientalis Fructus,Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma"and so on.Drug clustering could be divided into three potential drug clusters.Conclusion Professor Qian Ying often uses heat-clearing drugs,tonifying drugs,and promoting qi and blood circulation drugs to treat liver cancer,with Huqi Powder as the main formula and modified according to the syndromes.Clearing heat and detoxifying,soothing liver and relieving depression,removing blood stasis and regulating collatrals are used to treat its symptoms,and tonifying qi and invigorating spleen,regulating liver and nourishing liver and kidney are used to treat its essence.
