Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a vital therapeutic tool for hip terminal disease. Frequently, hidden blood loss exists in the postoperation, which seriously affect the postoperative rehabilitation of patients. It is urgent need to solve the problem that how to fundamentally prevent and reduce hidden blood loss after THA. Although THA has its own operational reason in blood loss, and also relates to a variety of risk factors, the mechanism of hidden blood loss is not clear. Tranexamic acid has a significant role in preventing perioperative blood loss, and the correlation of hidden blood loss and fibrinolytic mechanism would be confirm necessarily in the future,which will produce positive significance in completing the mechanism of hidden blood loss.

Tendon adhesion easily occurs after the operation.The outcome of tendon repair can be affected by adhesion, in-terfering with their normal gliding function.With increasingly deepened konwledge of the tendon healing process and continuous devel-opment of sciences related to medicine, a variety of effective approaches are provided to prevent tendon adhesion.Antioxidants are new orientations that are provided for prevention of tendon adhesion.Although most researches are only limited to animal experiments, the outcomes are positive.This paper reviews the mechanisms and relevant characteristics of tendon adhesion prevention in order to have a better understanding on the roles of antioxidants for preventing tendon adhesion.

AIM:To investigate the value of pattern visual evoked potential (PVEP) and flash electroretinogram (FERG) in early diagnosis and prevention of diabetic retinopathy (DR), analyzing the correlation of early stage DR with PVEP and FERG.
METHODS: Sixty patients, 30 males and 30 females, participated in observation group. Their average age was 19. 42 ± 7. 78years. The duration of DM was < 5a. Best corrected visual acuity was 5. 0. Fasting blood glucose was 7. 8± 3. 6mmol/ L. There were 60 subjects, 30 males and 30 females, in control group. Their average age was 17. 2 ± 6. 52years. Best corrected visual acuity was 5. 0. Every participator was tested with PVEP and FERG according to ISCVE standard. The amplitude of PVEP and P100 latency were recorded. And the b-wave latency, b-wave amplitude, a - wave latency, a - wave amplitude were showed down.
RESULTS: In observation group, P100 amplitude decreased and P100 latency increased, compared to those of control group ( P< 0. 01); b - wave latency, b -wave amplitude, a - wave latency, a - wave amplitude were different from those in control group(P<0. 01); the fasting blood glucose kept stable; P100 amplitude, b -wave amplitude and a-wave amplitude were not related to the DM duration; P100 latency, a-wave latency and b-wave latency were related to the DM duration.
CONCLUSION: PVEP are sensitive to optic neuron damage; FERG is desirable to detect the lesion of Müller cells and bipolar cells. P100 amplitude by PVEP, b-wave amplitude by FERG may be the most sensitive parameter for DR at early stage.

BACKGROUND:There are many methods for evaluating anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. However, doctors always like to assess the outcome with the objective criteria, such as range of motion and imaging examinations, and patient satisfaction is little considered.OBJECTIVE:To explore the factors that may influence the patient satisfaction after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. METHODS:Ninety-eight patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction were enroled, including 58 male and 40 female patients, and the average age was 27.4 years old. All patients were followed up (average 17.5 months) to investigate the patient satisfaction. The factors related to the satisfaction were analyzed, such as age, follow-up time, sex, injured knee, mental health, education, economic situation, postoperative athletic ability, and International Knee Documentation Committee scores. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After the follow-up, 72.4% patients said that they were satisfied with the outcome, and 27.6% dissatisfied with the outcome. The mental health, economy situation, postoperative athletic ability, and International Knee Documentation Committee scores were significantly related to the patient satisfaction (P < 0.05). To conclude, improved living and medical standard, intensive communication and psychological counseling, as well as rational postoperative rehabilitation scheme can improve the patient satisfaction after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

ObjectiveTo investigate the application of CT inspection during the recovery period to cerebral infarct patients. Methods53 recurrence cases were taken out from random 100 cases of first reexamination CT films and analyzed while comparing the cases′ recurrence times,contents and the relationship between recurrence times and the original deceases.ResultsThere was no close connection between the rate of cerebral infarct recurrence and recurrence times(P>0.05).But cerebral infarct recurrence mainly appeared within the first year and the recurrence time caused by the presence of hypertension was shorter than the time caused by diabetes(P<0.05).92% cerebral infarct recurrence were cavity cerebral infarct recurrence and 11% were silent brain infarction.Conclusions It is significant for the patients to take CT reexamination within the first recovery year and also important for the no symptom patients.

OBJECTIVETo systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of preoperative administration of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor on pain occurring with total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

METHODSWe electronically searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, CNKI, CBM, Wanfang data from inception to March 15, 2014 and manual searched journal of library collection to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about preoperative administration of COX-2 inhibitor on pain occurring with TKA. The methodological quality of the included RCTs was assessed and the data were extracted according to the Cochrane Handbook 5.1.0. Meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.2 software.

RESULTSA total of 6 RCTs involving 228 patients were included. The results of meta-analyses showed that: (1) Efficacy: The visual analog scale (VAS) of post-operation at 12-hour (WMD = -0.60, 95% CI -0.83 to -0.37, P < 0.000 01) and 24-hour (WMD = -0.74, 95% CI -1.29 to - 0.19, P = 0.008) was decreased when COX-2 inhibitor was used before operation. And compared with control group, experimental group decreased the modified numerical pain rating scale (MNPRS) at 24-hour (WMD = -0.50, 95% CI -0.70 to -0.30, P < 0.000 01), 48-hour (WMD = -0.55,95% CI -0.65 to -0.45,P < 0.000 01) under quiescent conditions, and the same result at 24-hour (WMD = -0.82, 95% CI -1.26 to -0.38, P <0.000 01), 48-hour (WMD = -0.71, 95% CI -0.82 to -0.60, P < 0.000 01) under active conditions. The morphine consumption postoperatively were fewer in experimental group at the first day (WMD = - 1.35, 95% CI -1.92 to -0.79, P < 0.000 01) and the second day (WMD = -1.60, 95% CI -2.68 to -0.52, P = 0.004). (2) Safety: COX-2 inhibitor could lessen the incidence of postoperative pruritus (RR = 0.35, 95% CI 0.15 to 0.84, P = 0.02), but not statistically decrease of nausea and vomiting (RR = 0.83, 95% CI 0.54 to 1.28, P = 0.40) and exhaustion (RR = 0.63, 95% CI 0.05 to 7.67, P = 0.72).

CONCLUSIONThe current evidence indicated that preoperative administration of COX-2inhibitor can effectively improve the effect of postoperative analgesia, reduce the consumption of morphine and lessen the incidence of pruritus. Due to the limited quantity of the included studies and the evidence with limited strength,further high-quality RCTs are needed to verify the aforementioned conclusion.

To obtain chemical constituent information of rat plasma after oral administration of Huang-Lian-Jie-Du Decoction (HLJDD), a LC-FT-ICR-MS method has been established, and both positive and negative ions scan modes were include in the analysis. By comparing their retention time, high resolution mass data of HLJDD extracts, blank plasma and dosed plasma, 38 constituents, including 22 prototype compounds and 16 metabolites, were detected in rat plasma after oral administration of HLJDD. In the 22 prototype compounds, 16 constituents were determined unambiguously by comparing with references. In the analysis of metabolites, phase II reactions like glucuronidation and sulfation were the major biotransformation pathways of HLJDD. M11 was observed as the only phase I metabolite in present experiment. The results will be beneficial for the further pharmacokinetics and pharmacological evaluations of HLJDD.
