Objective To observe the effect and safety of treating senile abnormal lipid metabolism with LU Zhi-zheng's dampness-removing,turbid-resolving and heart-communicating formula.Methods 60 patients were randomly divided into a treatment,treated with LU's formula,one dosage per day,and a control group,treated with gypenosides,60mg/tablet,three times per day,with 30 patients in each group.Both groups were treated two therapeutic courses,which were 8 weeks.Results Except HDL-C,other indexes including TC,TG,LDL-C in the treatment group were all obviously improved after the treatment [the statistical values were (5.81 ± 1.70) mmol/L,(3.05±2.30) mmol/L,(3.39± 1.11 ) mmol/L respectively,P＜0.01 or 0.05],which were also better than the control group [the statistical values were ( 6.16 ± 1.91 ) mmol/L,( 3.03 ± 1.89 ) mmol/L,(3.81±0.63) mmol/L,P＜0.01 or 0.05].Symptoms improvement such as chest oppression,dizziness,heaviness of head,headache,sticky mouth without thirsty,constipation,nausea and vomiting,and heaviness of limbs in the treatment group were also better than the control group,with mean rank were 23.83、38.10、36.10、34.70、36.77、39.82、33.38、34.17 respectively.No abnormal changes were found in indexes of blood routine,urinary routine,stool routine,ECG,ALT,AST and Cr.Conclusion LU Zhi-zheng's dampness-removing,turbid-resolving and heart-communicating formula improved clinical symptoms and signs of abnormal lipid metabolism patients,its therapeutic effects were better than gypenosides.

This thesis gave the theorical origins of syndrome differentiation of CHD based on damp-pathogen by LU Zhi-zheng.Six factors includ invading by damp-pathogen,internal impairment by seven emotions,improper diet and imbalance between work and rest,different constitutions,Zang-Fu organs uncoordination,incorrect treatment,etc.are the chief factors result in damp-pathogen.The relationship between damp-pathogen and phlegm,damp-pathogen and blood stasis is analysed.Four pathogenesis that cause CHD by damp-pathogen are summarized.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the clinical feature and constituent ratio of adult hip fractures in Southwest China.

METHODSThe data of adult inpatients and outpatients with hip fractures treated between January 2010 and December 2011 in 11 hospitals of the Southwest China were collected and analyzed. The data includes gender, age, age distribution and fracture pattern according to AO classification.

RESULTSThere were a total of 2,833 adult hip fractures, including 1,340 (47.30%) males and 1,493 (52.70%) females, with a male-to-female incidence ratio of 1: 1.11 and a mean age of (66±18) years. The highest frequency of hip fractures was seen in the 71 to 85 years age group (42.18%, 1,195/2,833). There were 844 fractures (29.79%) in the young and middle-aged group (16-<60 years) and 1 898 fractures (70.21%) in the geriatric group (≥60 years). Men had a higher rate than women (men: 577 fractures, 68.4%) in the young and middle-aged group, while women had a higher rate than men (women: 1,226 fractures, 61.64%) in the geriatric group, with a significant difference in the sex distribution between the two groups (χ2=214.001, P<0.01). The proportion of intertrochanteric fracture (type 31-A), femoral neck (type 31-B) and femoral head fracture (type 31-C) was 46.59%, 49.74% and 3.67% respectively. The highest frequency of the sub-type in each fracture type was type 31-A2, type 31-B2 and type 31-C2.

CONCLUSIONSWomen have a higher rate than men in Southwest China. Geriatric patients are more than the young and middle-aged patients. The femoral neck fractures, intertrochanteric fractures and femoral head fractures are in descending orders according to the proportion of the three different hip fractures.

Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) can lead to lower back pain and may be even accompanied by scoliosis, neurological dysfunction and other complications, which will affect the daily activities and life quality of patients. Vertebral augmentation is an effective treatment method for OVCF, but it cannot correct unbalance of bone metabolism or improve the osteoporotic status, causing complications like lower back pain, limited spinal activities and vertebral refracture. The post-operative systematic and standardized rehabilitation treatments can improve curative effect and therapeutic efficacy of anti-osteoporosis, reduce risk of vertebral refracture, increase patient compliance and improve quality of life. Since there still lack relevant clinical treatment guidelines for postoperative rehabilitation treatments following vertebral augmentation for OVCF, the current treatments are varied with uneven therapeutic effect. In order to standardize the postoperative rehabilitation treatment, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized relevant experts to refer to relevant literature and develop the "Guideline for postoperative rehabilitation treatment following vertebral augmentation for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (2022 version)" based on the clinical guidelines published by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) as well as on the principles of scientificity, practicality and advancement. The guideline provided evidence-based recommendations on 10 important issues related to postoperative rehabilitation treatments of OVCF.
