This study was aimed to discuss traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) factors of bone mineral density (BMD) in order to figure out the relation of BMD T-Score to the TCM syndrome of kidney-deficiency, qi-deficiency , and blood-stasis . It may provide the scientific basis for TCM treatment of osteoporosis . Patients were collected from August 2010 to April 2011 at the Longhua Hospital affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine . The assay of BMD was performed with the U . S . HOLOGIC dual-energy radia-tion . The BMD was measured and recorded in the form . All data were collected into the computer using Epi-Data3 . 02 software . Then , the data was analyzed by the SPSS15 . 0 statistical software . The results showed that through the Mann-Whitney U test , the BMD of patients with kidney-deficiency syndrome was worse compared to patients without kidney-deficiency syndrome ( P < 0 . 01 ); the BMD of patients with q i-deficiency syndrome was worse compared to patients without q i-deficiency syndrome ( P < 0 . 01 ); the BMD of patients with blood-stasis syndrome was worse compared to patients without blood-stasis syndrome ( P < 0 . 01 ) . It showed that the BMD of patients with kidney-deficiency , q i-deficiency and blood-stasis was worse compared to patients with-out syndrome of kidney-deficiency , q i-deficiency and blood-stasis . Under a variety of evidence-based BMD distribution , the chi-square test showed that there was significant difference ( P < 0 . 01 ) . It showed that differ-ent BMD had different TCM syndrome distributions . Among normal BMD cases , distributions of syndrome with-out kidney-deficiency, qi-deficiency and blood-stasis occupied the largest proportion. Among osteoporosis cas-es , the distribution of syndrome of kidney-deficiency , q i-deficiency and blood-stasis occupied the largest pro-portion . It was concluded that the syndrome of kidney-deficiency , q i-deficiency and blood-stasis maybe impor-tant factors to influence BMD . It may also be the risk factor of osteoporosis complication . The BMD are relat-ed to the syndrome of kidney-deficiency , q i-deficiency and blood-stasis and their combinations . Among bone mass reduction and osteoporosis cases , the proportion of combination of two or three types of syndromes was more than single one syndrome . It suggested that the combination of kidney-deficiency , q i-deficiency and blood-stasis had more influence on BMD .

Objective To observe the real-time and short-term therapeutic efficacies of fire-needle acupuncture and warm needling in treating cervical vertigo due to upward disturbance of phlegm-turbidity, and compare the two treatment methods. Method Eighty-four patients with cervical vertigo due to upward disturbance of phlegm-turbidity were randomized into a fire-needle acupuncture group and a warm needling group, 42 cases in each group. The two groups received treatment once a day, respectively for 10 sessions. The symptoms, functions and total score were evaluated by adopting the modified Cervical Vertigo Symptoms and Functions Assessment Scale before the second treatment session and after 10 treatment sessions; the therapeutic efficacy was evaluated based on the traditional Chinese medicine symptoms scale. Result The scores after 10 treatment sessions were significantly different from that before treatment in the two groups (P<0.05);before the 2nd treatment session, the improvements of the symptoms and total scores in the fire-needle acupuncture group were more significant than that in the warm needling group (P<0.05);after 10 sessions, there were significant differences in comparing the symptoms, functions and total scores between the two groups (P<0.05);the clinical control rate was 26.2%and total effective rate was 95.2%in the fire-needle acupuncture group, versus 9.5%and 90.5%in the warm needling group, and there was a significant difference in comparing the therapeutic efficacy between the two groups. Conclusion Fire-needle acupuncture and warm needling both are effective in treating cervical vertigo due to upward disturbance of phlegm-turbidity, while fire-needle acupuncture can improve the vertigo symptoms in a real-time manner, and its short-term therapeutic efficacy is also superior to that of warm needling.

? AIM: To investigate the influence of phacoemulsification on corneal endothelial cells and its injury risk factors in diabetic cataract patients.?METHODS: From January 2013 to October 2015, 186 diabetic cataract patients ( 224 eyes ) as diabetes group and 190 patients with simple cataract ( 227 eyes ) as control group in our hospital were enrolled. All patients received phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation. Observation of corneal endothelial cell density, coefficient of variation and percentage of hexagonal cells preoperatively, 1d, 1wk, 1 and 3mo postoperatively were carried out, and multiple Logistic regression analysis for risk factors of corneal endothelial cell injury was taken.?RESULTS: There were no significant difference in the density of corneal endothelial cells, the coefficient of variation and the percentage of hexagonal cells between the two groups before surgery (P>0. 05). Each time point after operation corneal endothelial cell density and the percentage of hexagonal endothelial cells of diabetes group were significantly lower than the preoperative and those of control group ( P < 0. 05 ). Each time after operation endothelial cell coefficient of variation of diabetes group were significantly higher than the preoperative(P<0. 05). The endothelial cell coefficient of variation in diabetes group of the 1wk, 1 and 3mo after operation were significantly higher than those of the control group ( P<0. 05 ) . Corneal endothelial cell density and percentage of hexagonal cells of the control group at 1wk, 1 and 3mo after operation were significantly lower than the preoperative ( P<0. 05 ). The endothelial cell coefficient of variation of control group at 1wk, 1 and 3mo after operation were significantly higher than the preoperative(P<0. 05). Single factor analysis showed that age, shallow anterior chamber, long ultrasonic time, short eye axis, high energy ultrasonic, high cumulative released energy, a lot of perfusate and nuclear hardness ≥ grade Ⅲ associated with corneal endothelial cell injury ( P< 0. 05 ) . Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age, long ultrasonic time, high ultrasonic energy, high cumulative released energy and nuclear hardness ≥ grade Ⅲ were the risk factors of corneal endothelial cell injury, the OR value and 95%CI were 1. 742 (1. 056-2. 682), 1. 958 (1. 227-3. 135), 2. 064(1. 274-3. 256), 2. 585(1. 493-3. 682), 2. 193 (1. 348-3. 316).?CONCLUSION: The injury of corneal endothelial cells after phacoemulsification in diabetic cataract patients is more serious than in patients with simple cataract. Age, long ultrasonic time, high ultrasonic energy, high cumulative released energy and nuclear hardness ≥grade Ⅲ are the risk factors of corneal endothelial cell injury.

Percutaneous vertebroplasty has many advantages such as minimal trauma, simple mode of operation, rapid and correct therapeutic effect, high safety, and wide indications. Therefore it has been generally paid close attention and accepted. Percutaneous vertebroplasty has conspicuous curative effect, especially in vertebral compression fracture. Polymethyl methacrylate is the most used filling materials at present; There is not significant difference between unipedicular and bipedicular vertebroplasty; Using vertebral body venography and appropriate dense bone cement can reduce leakage of bone cement; Bolster for self-replacement can rebound vertebral body height, and balloon kyphoplasty and sky bone expander kyphoplasty can be avoided; In order to reduce refracture of vertebral body, anti-osteoporosis drugs should be used in the treatment of percutaneous vertebroplasty.
