OBJECTIVETo observe the immediate analgesic effect of tendon acupuncture on soft tissue injury in different sites.
METHODSA total of 140 cases of soft tissue injury, involving 14 injury sites, were treated with tendon acupuncture. According to the principle of "considering pain as acupoint", based on injury sites, one to three tendon acupoints were selected in each tendon, which were treated with 1 to 5 times. Totally 676 times Of treatment was given. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the immediate. analgesic effect before and after the treatment.
RESULTSAfter the treatment, the score of VAS was significantly reduced (4. 20+ 1. 77 vs 2. 43 ± 1. 30, P<0. 001); regardless of the total number of treatment, the score of VAS after each acupuncture was obviously reduced compared with that before acupuncture (all P<0. 001); the score of VAS at each injury sites after treatment was significantly reduced compared with that before treatment (all P<0. 001).
CONCLUSIONThere is an immediate analgesic effect of tendon acupuncture for different sites of soft tissue injury. Also, the effect has been shown in different frequencies of treatment.

Objective To explore the intrinsic link between neuro-endocrine-immune (NEI) network and the viscera-state.Methods Using three databases namely TCM database, Chinese pharmacy database and combination of TCM and WM database in China Academic Journals Database, the authors searched and collected NEI-related indicators published on journals for the viscera-state researches. Then a related database was established for data mining. Through analysis of association rules, analysis of the relationship among diseases, syndromes, therapeutic principles, combination of disease and syndrome, and NEI network related indicators were performed for association rules and directional network diagrams.Results Through the association analysis, the authors drew 44 directional network diagrams of high-frequency disease positions, syndromes, therapeutic principles and NEI network related indicators, and obtained 19 association rules. Kidney and liver essence research focused on HPG axis, HPA axis, and HPT axis. Spleen essence research focused on brain-gut peptide related indicators. Heart essence research focused on vascular endothelium function indicators. Pulmonary essence research focused on humeral immunity, ET and TNF-α.Conclusion It was feasible to explore the intrinsic link between NEI network and the viscera-state by using data mining. Differences among study on NEI network of five-organs systems were found, which is of great significance for researches on the essence of the viscera-state.

Randomized sampling-based questionnaire among 2000 community residents and personal contact with selected populations were conducted.Based on incidence or clinical featuxes of dermatosis and venereal diseases and recognition-related impact factor analyses,we provided evidence for community-based health education and behavior intervention.Our findings showed that itching was the most common skin disease,and fungous infection displayed an increasing trend.Viral diseases increased significantly in recent years.Patients failed to understand the skin diseases,although they partly had some misleading information about venereal diseases.Health care providers should perform more health education and behavior interventions regarding dermatosis and venereal diseases for community residents to improve their health condition or quality of life.

Objective To discuss the short-term clinical effect of K-Rod pedicle dynamic fixation system for multiple segmental lumbar degeneration. Methods From January 2010 to October 2012,28 patients with multiple segmental lumbar degeneration who were accepted K-Rod pedicle dynamic fixation system were retrospectively reviewed. The short-term clinical effect were based on Oswestry disability index score,visual analogous scale ( VAS) ,improvement rate of low back pain,postoperative lumbar hyperextension, hyperbend X-ray film lumbar ROM value ( lumbar flexion mobility) ,average operation time, intraoperative blood loss. Results All of 28 cases were achieved 12 ~24 months follow-up,the difference of Oswestry disability index score and visual analogous scale ( VAS) between 12 months postoperatively and preoperatively were statistically significant,the improvement rate of low back pain was (87. 0 ± 2. 0)%,the average operation time was (99. 6 ± 16. 2) minutes,the average blood loss was (70. 5 ± 31. 5)mL,the average length of stay(ALOS) was (11. 2 ± 2. 6) days after sur-gery. Conclusion K-Rod pedicle dynamic fixation system in the treatment of multiple segmental lumbar degeneration can obtain satisfactory short-term clinical effect.

Objective To discuss the clinical effect and the notes of atlas lateral mass screws combined with posterior epistropheus ped-icle screws for the treatment of atlantoaxial joint instability. Methods In our hospital from January 2006 to January 2011,48 cases of atlan-toaxial joint instability accepted operation of the atlas lateral mass screws combined with epistropheus pedicle screws were analyzed. Results All patients with follow-up time 12~24 months,an average of 17 months,were achieved primary healing and atlanto-axial intervertebral osse-ous healing. Besides postoperative neck pillow area pain improved and nerve function get a degree of recovery,there was no inner fixed damage cases. Complications of operation include venous plexus hemorrhage was in 2 cases,cervical occipital pain and numbness increase in 3 cases,cere-brospinal fluid leak in 2 cases,vertebral artery extrusion occlusion after cerebral ischemic symptoms in 1 case. Conclusion Combination of atlas lateral mass screws and posterior epistropheus pedicle screws technique is one of the effective means of treatment of atlantoaxial joint instabili-ty and can obtain satisfactory clinical effect. Standard operation performance is the key to reduce or even eliminate surgical complications.

Objective The purpose was to compare the biomechanical characteristics of new percutaneous guide wire and conventional wire in cadaveric spines,and to evaluate the new percutaneous guide wire's efficacy and safety in a clinical trial.Methods Compared the push-out and penetration forces of the new percutaneous guide wire and conventional wire in fresh cadaveric lumbar spines from L1 to L5.And analyzed the related complications of new percutaneous guide wire by clinical experiment.Results Push-out forces caused the spiral part of the new percutaneous guide wire to bend or spread,so as to resist the anterior migration of the guide wire.The mean push-out forces of the new percutaneous guide wire and conventional wire were (15.5-+ 1.9) N and (5.7 ± 0.8) N respectively (P < 0.01),and the mean penetration forces were (69.1 ±4.2) N and (37.1 ±4.8) N respectively (P <0.01).There was no wire breakage or anterior-wall penetration in the clinical trial of 222 new percutaneous guide wire.Conclusion The mean push-out and penetration forces of the new percutaneous guide wire were approximately 2 to 3 times greater than those of conventional wire.The new percutaneous guide wire effectively prevented guide-wire anterior migration and penetration of the anterior vertebral-body wall.The new percutaneous guide wire device could effectively improve the safety of percutaneous pedicle screw insertion procedures for patient with osteoporosis.
