Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of warming and unblocking acupuncture in treating scapulocostal syndrome.Method Eighty patients with scapulocostal syndrome meeting the inclusion criteria were allocated by simple randomization to warming and unblocking acupuncture and conventional acupuncturegroups, 40 cases each.The warming and unblocking acupuncture group received warming and unblocking acupuncture at points Tianzong(SI11), Jianjing(GB21)and Dazhui(GV14)on the affected side and affected chest Huatuo jiaji(Ex-B2)points and uniform reinforcing-reducing acupuncture at points Quchi(LI11), Hegu(LI4)and Waiguan(TE5).The conventional acupuncture group received uniform reinforcing-reducing acupuncture at the same points as those in the warming and unblocking acupuncture group after arrival of qi.Both groupswere treated once every other day, 10 days as a course, for a total of one course.Pain severity was assessed using the Pain Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) in the two groups of patients before and after treatment.Theclinical therapeutic effects were evaluated by follow-up at one month after the completion of treatment.Result The total efficacy rate was 95.0% (38/40) in the warming andunblocking acupuncture group and 80.0% (32/40) in the conventional acupuncture group; there was a statistically significant difference (P<0.05).The PainVisual Analogue Scale(VAS) score was significantly lower in the two groups of patients after treatment than before treatment; there was a statistically significant difference (P<0.05).The VAS score was decreased more in the warming and unblocking acupuncture group after treatment and at the follow-up one month after the completion of treatment (P<0.05).Conclusion Warming and unblocking acupuncture has clinically a better therapeutic effect onscapulocostal syndrome.

BACKGROUND:The chemical compositions and structure of calcium phosphate bone cement are similar to those of human bone, which can fil the bone colapse caused by fracture and induce osteogenesis, but its degradation rate is slow. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the biocompatibility of the calcium phosphate cement/fibrin glue and the feasibility of repairing radius defects. METHODS: In vitro cytotoxicity experiment: Mouse fibroblasts were cultured in the calcium phosphate bone cement/fibrin glue extracts, phenol solution, and RPMI 1640 culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, respectively, to detect the cytotoxicity grade. Hemocompatibility experiment: Calcium phosphate bone cement/fibrin glue extracts, normal saline and distiled water were respectively added into the rabbit anticoagulation, to detect the hemolytic rate. Forty-five New Zealand white rabbits were enroled and modeled into bilateral radius defects, folowed by randomly alotted into three groups: blank control group without any intervention, experimental and control groups were given the implantation with calcium phosphate bone cement/fibrin glue and autologous radius, respectively. X-ray, histology, bone mineral density and biomechanical test were performed at postoperative 4, 8 and 16 weeks. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The toxicity grade of the calcium phosphate cement/fibrin glue was 0 to 1. The hemolytic rate of the calcium phosphate cement/fibrin glue was 3.15%. At 16 weeks postoperatively, X-ray showed that in the experimental and control groups, the fracture line disappeared completely, pulp cavity was recanalized, and in plastic completely. Histology showed that the reconstructed bone trabecular was obvious, plate layer of bone was mature, and medulary cavity recanalization appeared in the control group; there were a large number of new grid-shaped woven bone tissues growing into the material in the experimental group, with overt degradation, and degradation rate was in paralel to bone ingrowth. The bone density, the maximum load, maximum stress and failure energy in the experimental and control groups were significantly higher than those in the blank control group (P < 0.05), and al above indicators showed no significant differences between the experimental and control groups. These results manifest that the calcium phosphate bone cement/fiber protein glue composite material holding a good biocompatibility can promote bone tissue regeneration for bone defect repair, achieving similar curative effect with autologous bone transplantation.
