Objective To discuss the influence of conbercept intraocular injection to vitrectomy on diabetic retinopathy.Methods patients (100 cases) with diabetic retinopathy were divided into two groups according to whether use intraocular injection drug or not.The injection group (49 cases) was given conbercept intraocular injection before vitrectomy.The control group (51 cases) was only given vitrectomy.The influence of conbercept intraocular injection to vitrectomy on diabetic retinopathy was evaluated by surgery,prognosis,visual acuity before and after surgery.Results The surgery time of the injection group was shorter than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).There were six bleeding cases in the injection group and 20 cases in the control group.The number of bleeding of injection group was shorter than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).In addition,the electric coagulation,silicone oil use,iatrogenic macular holes number of injection group was smaller than of that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).During 1 month follow-up,the number of small bleeding and large bleeding cases of injection group was smaller than of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).There was no statistical significance on vision between two groups.After 1 month surgery,the vision of two groups were increased.And the vision of injection group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion In summary,conbercept intraocular injection could help vitrectomy.It could reduce the difficulty of surgery and shorten the surgery time.It could reduce the bleeding symptoms during and after surgery.It could improve the vision of patients.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic efficacy and side effect of combination of intra-articular injection of hyaluronate and extracorporeal shock wave therapy(ESWT) on patients with knee osteoarthritis.Methods50 patients with knee osteoarthritis were treated by combination of intra-articular injection of hyaluronate and ESWT(study group, n=22) or combination of intra-articular injection of hyaluronate and pain-point injection of betamethasone(control group, n=28). The parameters included pain intensity (Numeric Rating Score, NRS) at rest and at exercise, pain relief rate, the time when pain disappeared and times of betamethasone administration or ESWT. The side effects were also evaluated.ResultsNRS decreased in the two groups after treatment, while NRS was not different between the two groups(P>0.05) except 1 week after the treatment(P<0.01).ConclusionThe combination of intra-articular injection of hyaluronate and extracorporeal shock wave is a safe and effective treatment for knee osteoarthritis.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Qiangji Recipe (QR) in ad- junctive treatment of axial undifferentiated spondyloarthritis (axuSpA) through a four-week open study.

METHODSFifty-four axuSpA patients of Shen-deficiency Du-channel cold syndrome (SDDCS) in line with inclusive criteria were recruited and assigned to the treatment group and the control group according to random digit table, 27 in each group. Patients in the control group took Celecoxib Capsule (0.2 g each time, twice per day). Patients in the treatment group additionally took QR (consisting of Herba Epimedii 15 g, antler glue 15 g, Cibotium Barometz 15 g, eucommia bark 20 g, dipsacus asper 10 g, two toothed achyranthes root 15 g, drynaria 15 g, Taxillus Chinensis 20 g, ground beetle 10 g, scorpion 5 g, wild celery 10 g, notopterygium incisium 10 g, cow-fat seed 10 g, white mustard seed 6 g, and licorice root 6 g, one dose per day, twice daily). The therapeutic course for all was 4 weeks. The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), the Bath AS Metrology Index (BASMI), total body pain and spinal pain, patient and physician global assessment on a four-point scale, the Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life (ASQoL), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured before and after 4 weeks of treatment. The primary end point in this study was the proportion of patients with a 20%improvement response accord- ing to the ASAS International Working Group Criteria (ASAS 20 responders) at week 4.

RESULTSTotally 50 patients completed this trial, 26 in the treatment group and 24 in the control group. Improvement of BASDAI, BASFI, BASMI, ASQoL, ESR, and CRP was shown in both groups after treatment. Better effect was shown in the treatment group in all indices except ESR and BASMI after treatment (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Twenty cases (accounting for 76.92%) in the treatment group achieved ASAS 20 response at week 4, while 12 cases (accounting for 50.00%) in the control group achieved ASAS 20 response at week 4 (P < 0.05). No obvious adverse reaction occurred in the two groups.

CONCLUSIONQR combined Celecoxib Capsule showed better effect in treating axuSpA patients than using Celecoxib Capsule alone.

BACKGROUND:Many patients underwent aspirin anticoagulation in preventing cardiovascular disease before hip and knee replacement. No report addressed the effect of aspirin on blood loss during perioperative stage in patients receiving hip and knee replacement. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of perioperative continuous low-dose aspirin anticoagulation application on total hip arthroplasty or total knee arthroplasty. METHODS: A total of 40 patients with primary total hip arthroplasty or total knee arthroplasty were enroled in the Department of Orthopedics, Tianjin First Center Hospital from December 2012 to August 2013. According to anticoagulation scheme, they were divided into two groups (n=20). In the observation group, 100 mg/d aspirin anticoagulation was continuously used before replacement for a long period, and the medicine was not withdrawn except the day of replacement. In the control group, aspirin anticoagulation was not used, and their ages were similar to the observation group. The operation was conducted by the same physician in the observation and control groups. 10 patients received total hip arthroplasty and 10 patients received total knee arthroplasty in both groups. Bleeding was stopped actively during replacement. After replacement, pressurized ice compress was used to reduce bleeding. At 48 hours after replacement, wound drainage, perioperative hemoglobin and the incidence of complications were recorded. Joint function recovery was observed at 3 months of folow-up. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Hemoglobin levels before and after operation, postoperative blood drainage at 48 hours, perioperative hemoglobin changes, the incidence of complication, and joint function score at 3-month folow-up did not show significant difference between both groups. These findings indicate that it is safe to use some measures for reducing blood loss and continue low-dose aspirin in the perioperative period. The use of aspirin did not impact blood loss.

BACKGROUND:Clinical fol ow-up studies have shown that alendronate is effective to prevent femoral head col apse fol owing traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head, but its mechanism remains poorly understood. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the effects and mechanisms of alendronate on prevention of col apse in traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head. METHODS:Total y 45 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups, with 15 rats in each group. Placebo group received physiological saline after establishing models of avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Alendronate group received treatment of alendronate after model induction. Sham surgery group received an equal volume of physiological saline. At 5 weeks after model establishment, the rats were sacrificed. Femoral samples at the modeling side were col ected for general observation, X-ray irradiation, Micro-CT and histological detection. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:General observation revealed that the femoral head was obviously deformed in the placebo group, but mild deformity was visible in the alendronate group. The ratio of height to width of the femoral head ranked as fol ows:sham surgery group>alendronate group>placebo group, showing significant differences. Micro-CT scanning results demonstrated that the mean number of bone trabecula was more in the alendronate group than in the placebo group, but less than sham surgery group, showing significant differences. The mean thickness of bone trabecula was less in the alendronate group than in the placebo group, but no significant difference was detectable as compared with the sham surgery group. The mean spacing of bone trabecula was less in the alendronate group than in the placebo group, but larger than in the sham surgery group, showing significant differences. Bone volume, bone surface area and bone mineral density were larger in the alendronate group than in the placebo group, but less than sham surgery group, showing significant differences. Histological detection results demonstrated that apparent sequestrum existed and osteoclasts were obviously inhibited in the alendronate group. The number of osteoclasts was noticeably less in the alendronate group than in the placebo group. Osteoblasts and new vessels were suppressed to some degrees. Results suggested that alendronate can inhibit curing reaction through inhibiting osteoclast and osteoblast activity and vessel formation, which can final y slow down the absorption of necrotic bone and preserve femoral head mass and shape. Thus, alendronate can be used as a preventive against femoral head col apse in rats with traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Objective: To observe the clinical effects of acupoint injection therapy plus massage on primary dysmenorrhea (PD).
Methods: Ninety patients with PD were randomly divided into a treatment group or a control group, 45 cases in each group. The treatment group was treated by injection of Vitamin K3into Sanyinjiao (SP 6) plus massage on Diji (SP 8). The control group was treated by oral administration of Ibuprofen sustained-release capsule. Before and after the treatment, visual analogue scale (VAS) was adopted to assess pain degree of the patients. The therapeutic effects were observed after continuous treatment of three cycles of menstruation.
Results: After treatment, VAS scores were obviously decreased in both groups and the differences were statistically significant (allP<0.05). The difference in VAS score after treatment was more significantin the treatment group than that in the control group (P<0.01). The total effective rate was significantl higher in the treatment group than that in the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Acupoint injection therapy plus massage for PD is effective and better than simple oral administration of Ibuprofen sustained-release capsule.

Objective To master of the characteristics of development and variation in plague natural foci of Marmota sibirica, and to analyze the plague monitoring results from 2004 to 2008. Methods From May to September every year, we monitored plague in Manzhouli, Chenbaerhuqi, Xinbaerhuzuoqi, Xinbaerhuyouqi,Ewenkeqi and Yakeshi city. The monitored area was 20 000 - 40 000 hm2 in every county. The density of Marmota,ground squirrel and moonlighting rats was surveyed by path method, one-day bow-clip method and a clamp was placed every five meters, respectively. The classification and identification of ectoparasite fleas were done by using low power lens. The fleas in the ground squirrel hole were collected by flannel rubber stick, then classified and identified. According to National Standard of Plague Diagnostic Criteria(GB 15991-1995), the collected rats and fleas were detected by isolation and cultured Yersinia pestis, the serums of collected rats were tested by indirect hemagglutination test. Results In five years, the density of Marmota and ground squirrel was 0.010/hm2 and 0.602/hm2, respectively. The capture rate of moonlighting rats was 2.69％ (258/9600). The flea infection rate of Marmota was 17.54％(10/57) and the fleas index was 2.54. The fleas infection rate of ground squirrel was 28.40％(213/750) and the fleas index was 1.01. Flea infection rat of ground squirrel hole was 5.60％(46/822) and the fleas index was 0.17. The total number of various hosts of Yersinia pestis detected was 1351, the groups number of the variety of cultured fleas was 127, and the pathogen test results were negative. The number of serum tested was 1064, positive number was 43, and the detection rate was 4.04％(43/1064). The highest positive titer was 1 : 1280. Other than 2006, the remaining four years were found positive for blood clotting material; positive serum was found in a total of three regions, they were Manzhouli, Xinbaerhuzuoqi, and Xinbaerhuyouqi; and 30, 12 and 1 copies of hemagglutination-positive sera were detected. Conclusions The epidemic of plague natural foci of Marmota sibirica is in a active state, and gradually expands the scope. We must continue to strengthen the inspection of the bacteria, bearing in mind the replacement of the region's main host, make every effort to prevent and control of human plague.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of G CSF on lungs of rats with acute cholangitis and changes in blood TNF and TXA 2/PGI 2 by treating the rats with G CSF. Methods Seventy two Wistar rats were randomized into the control, infected and treated groups. We established the model of cholangitis in the rats with injection of E. coli 25922 into the bile duct. The animals in the treated group were pretreated with G CSF 500 ng/day bid) for 5 days before the E. coli injection. The levels of blood TNF and TXA 2/PGI 2 were measured at the 3rd, 6th and 12th h after the injection. Meanwhile, the morphological changes in lungs of the rats were observed. Results The morphological changes in lungs were milder and levels of blood TNF and TXA 2/PGI 2 were significantly lower in the treated group than in the infected one (P
