Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2016;23(3):423-427
Objective To study clinical features of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD)with chronic pain and its correlation with cognitive function.Methods 100 PD patients with chronic pain were selected as the observa-tion group.100 PD patients without chronic pain were selected as disease control group.90 healthy subjects with pain were selected as control group.Statistical and clinical features of PD patients with pain,and the relationship between cognitive function were made.Results 100 patients with chronic pain with PD skeletal muscle pain in 42 cases (42.0%),motility pain in 23 cases (23.0%),23 cases of nerve root pain (23.0%),9 cases of central pain (9.0%),akathisia in 3 patients (3.0%);Control pain in patients with chronic pain with part mainly in the head and neck and the waist,PD patients with chronic pain with mainly in the limbs,pain in the two groups the incidence of head and neck pain,waist pain,limb pain had statistical differences (χ2 =10.017,4.990,21.770,all P <0.05);Observation group of daily life,emotion,ability to walk,normal work,sleep,life fun scores were better than those in control group,with statistical significance (t =7.021,7.011,3.167,7.016,7.014,8.036,all P <0.05);PD with pain group and PD without pain in gender,age,course of the disease symptoms,PD with pain group and PD without pain in UPDRS score,H -Y in installment,HAMD scores,PDQL score,LED aspects comparison was statistically significant (χ2 =5.307,4.880,all P <0.05),PD with pain group smell disorders,motion sickness were higher than the proportion of the PD without pain group,with statistical significance (t =-1.689,-1.561,all P <0.05);PD patients with pain group named ability score,delayed recall below PD without pain group,the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05),PD patients with pain and PD without pain group in the MoCA scores and other project score had no statistical significance (t =-0.967,-0.272,-0.791,-0.837,-0.671,-0.658,all P >0.05).Conclusion PD associated with chronic pain is given priority to with skeletal muscle pain,PD associated with chronic pain pain is different from normal people,PD associated with chronic pain has influence on daily life, sleep quality and depression of patients bad feelings,PD associated with chronic pain are closely related to the depres-sion and cognitive dysfunction of patients.Cognitive and emotional disorders may be involved in the pathogenesis of chronic pain.
9.Study on the Quality Standard for Gardenia jasminoides Commercially Available
China Pharmacy 2016;27(27):3857-3860
OBJECTIVE:To establish the quality standard for Gardenia jasminoides. METHODS:The moisture,total ash and extract were determined. HPLC was used for contents determination of geniposide,rutin,crocinⅠand crocinⅡ:the column was Waters Xbridge-C18 with mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.2% phosphoric acid(gradient elution,gardenia and rutin),methanol-water (45∶55,V/V,crocinⅠ,crocinⅡ)at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min;detection wavelength was 256 nm for gardenia and rutin,440 nm for crocinⅠ,crocinⅡ;column temperature was 30℃;injection volume was 10μl for gardenia and rutin,5μl for crocinⅠ,cro-cinⅡ. RESULTS:The moisture total ash and ethanol-soluble extract of G. jasminoides were 5.8%-8.4%,3.7%-5.9% and 29.5%-37.9%,respectively. The linear range was 162.08-1 620.84 μg/ml for geniposide(r=0.999 9),2.07-20.72 μg/ml for rutin (r=0.999 9),8.04-80.41 μg/ml for crocinⅠ(r=0.999 9)and 1.05-10.53 μg/ml for crocinⅡ(r=0.999 9);RSDs of precision,sta-bility and reproducibility test were lower than 2%;recoveries were 99.33%-101.43%(RSD=1.09%,n=6),97.97%-101.83%(RSD=1.39%,n=6),97.97%-101.30%(RSD=1.36%,n=6) and 98.65%-103.04%(RSD=1.84%,n=6). CONCLUSIONS:The established standard can be used for the quality control of G. jasminoides commercially available.
10.Biomechanical characteristics of suturing the ligament end during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2014;(42):6827-6831
BACKGROUND:During autologous tendon grafting, the ultimate tensile strength used for suturing the end of the ligament is important for successful surgery. Improving suturing strength and increasing the number of stitches is a good choice for increasing the fixed intensity. But excess amount of stitches can produce too many thread residues, thereby affecting tendon healing.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the essential number of suturing pins for the anterior cruciate ligament revascularization in ligament end suture fixation to reduce suturing thread exposure.
METHODS:(1) In vitro biomechanics test:12 patel ar ligament specimens were divided into two groups:the specimens were sutured with 5 or 3 stitches using Krackow suture method. The suturing thread was J&J tendon suture thread. The strength of tensile was compared between the two groups by Tensile mechanical test was conducted to compare the strength of tensile between the two groups and to explore the optimal number of stitches and suturing method. (2) Clinical application:According to the results of in vitro experiments, modified Krackow suture method was used clinical y for arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in 125 cases, including 62 cases receiving 3-stitch suture, and 63 cases undergoing 5-stitch suture.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The fixed strength of tensile at suture sites was over 100 N for 3-stitch double-lock suture and 110 N for 5-stitch double-lock suture. There was no significant difference in the fixed strength between the two groups, but their strength values were both over the breaking strength of suturing materials. Moreover, the fixed strength could not be reduced by suturing throughout the ligament at the first stitch. Al the 125 cases were fol owed for 6.4 months averagely, and both 3-stitch and 5-stitch suture methods achieved good outcomes. The satisfaction rate was up to 99%, and no suture breakage or loosing occurred at early and late stages. These findings suggest that, using 3-stitch double-lock suture method, a satisfactory fixed strength can be achieved with reduced thread exposure. The suturing thread can run through the ligament at the first stitch, which can reduce thread exposure but not reduce the fixed strength.
