Objective To explore the risk factors of early traumatic coagulation(TIC)in elderly patients with chest trauma.Methods The data of 113 elderly patients with chest trauma admitted in a hospital from January 2016 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients were divided into TIC group and non-TIC group according to whether they had early TIC.The risk factors of early TIC in elderly patients with thoracic trauma were analyzed by single factor and multi factor methods.Analysis of the predictive value of early TIC in elderly patients with thoracic trauma using multifactor model.Result Of all the patients included in the study,27 were determined as TIC,and the rest 86 were non-TIC.The results of univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the data of shock index,platelet count at admission and plasma fibrinogen at admission between patients in TIC group and non-TIC group(P<0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that the shock index at admission,platelet count at admission,and plasma fibrin at admission were all independent influencing factors of early TIC in elderly patients with chest trauma(all P<0.05).The P value of multivariate model and independent variables predict the early TIC of elderly patients with chest trauma.The Yoden index is 36.95%,42.89%,75.58%and 78.85%respectively.Conclusion The shock index,platelet count and plasma fibrin at the time of admission can affect the early occurrence of TIC in elderly patients with chest trauma.

Objective:
To evaluate the short-term efficacy of Broström-Gould repair combined with Internal Brace artifi-cial ligament reinforcement under arthroscopy for anterior talofibular ligament injury in overweight and poor ligament quality popu-lation.
Methods:
A total of 12 patients with anterior talofibular ligament injury treated by arthroscopy were enrolled from October 2017 to May 2018, involving 7 males and 5 females aged from 16 to 57 years old (mean 32.4 years). Patients were with ankle insta-bility, and their BMI was 28.0-30.7 kg/m2 (average, 28.8±0.91 kg/m2), among which there were 2 cases of poor ligament quality (Beighton score ≥4). The anterior tibiofibular ligament injury and the quality of the ligament stump were intraoperatively evaluated under arthroscopy. A 4.75 mm diameter anchor with Internal Brace artificial ligament was inserted into the fibula insertion site, and non-absorbable suture was placed at the talus under total arthroscopy. Firstly, the non-absorbable line on the anchor was per-formed under the standard Broström-Gould procedure to repair the anterior talofibular ligament, and the other end of the ligament was fixed near the distal end of the talus. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score and foot and ankle ability measure (FAAM) was compared before and after surgery.
Results:
All the incisions were healed in the first stage after operation, and no operative complications such as infection occurred. All the 12 patients were followed up for 7 to 12 months (average 9.1 months). After 2 weeks, the patient began functional exercise and could walk with ankle braces. At the latest follow-up, the anterior drawer test was negative. The ankle-posterior foot score of AOFAS was increased from 61.3±7.9 (preopera-tive) to 85.0±6.0 (latest follow-up) (

Objective: To explore the anti-inflammatory immune mechanism in moxibustion treatment of Crohn.s disease (CD) from the perspective of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway, through observing the regulatory effect ofmoxibustion on colonic JNK, c-Jun, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) in CDmodel rats. Method: Male Sprague-Dawley rats of clean grade were randomized into a normal group, a model group, amoxibustion group and a sham moxibustion group. CD model was developed by the mixture of 2, 4, 6 Trinitro-benzene-sulfonic acid (TNBS) and ethanol via enema. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the morphologicalchanges in rat.s colon tissues for pathological scoring; enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detectthe contents of MCP-1, COX2, JNK, and c-Jun in colon tissues; real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was adopted toexamine the mRNA expressions of JNK and c-Jun in rat.s colon. Result: Compared with the normal group, the modelgroup showed more significant colonic damage and thus had a higher colonic damage score (P < 0.01), manifested astopical inflammation which involved the submucosa, fissuring ulcers and granuloma; the model group also showedincreased contents of protein MCP-1 and COX2, and elevated contents of JNK protein and mRNA in colon (all P < 0.05), while the change in the content of c-Jun was insignificant (all P> 0.05) . Compared with the model group and shammoxibustion group, the colonic damage score was lower in the moxibustion group (P < 0.01, P < 0.05), with improvementin colonic structure and inflammation; the contents of MCP-1 and COX2 in colon tissues declined, so did the proteincontent and mRNA expression of JNK (all P < 0.05), while the change in the content of c-Jun was insignificant (all P>0.05) . There were no significant differences between the model group and sham moxibustion group comparing all theindexes (all P> 0.05) . Conclusion: Moxibustion down-regulates the expressions of JNK protein and mRNA in CD rat.scolon, as well as the contents of MCP-1 and COX2 in colon tissues, which is possibly one significant mechanism formoxibustion to ease intestinal inflammation and promote the repair of colon tissues in CD.

To explore the application of gene chip technology in the acupuncture research so as to provide evidences for the mechanism of acupuncture for regulating bodies. The literature on the application of gene chip technology in the acupuncture field from 2001 to 2016 was collected in PubMed, Springer, CNKI and WANFANG databases, which was analyzed and summarized. There were some achievements of the technology for acupuncture research, focusing on the five aspects, including the study of the relationship between meridian-point and viscera, the influencing factors of acupuncture effect, the effect and mechanism of acupuncture analgesia, the mechanism of acupuncture anti-aging, the effect and mechanism of acupuncture for diseases of each system. Gene chip technology plays an important role in researching acupuncture mechanism. It is an important technology for genomics study of acupuncture. However, there are also some disadvantages such as high cost, deficient data mining, non-uniform observation objects, deficient professionals, etc. All those need further resolution so as to promote the application of this technology in the acupuncture researching field.

Based on the data from the -, the bibliometric analysis was applied to analyze and evaluate the literature regarding clinical research of acupuncture for ophthalmopathy published between 1954 to 2016, hoping to objectively reflect the disease spectrum and indication of acupuncture for ophthalmopathy. The results showed that the disease spectrum of acupuncture for ophthalmopathy involved 47 specific diseases in 13 types of diseases. The total number of cases was 176 469, and the number of effective cases was 160 662, and the effective rate was 91.0%. The indication of acupuncture for ophthalmopathy included myopia, blepharoptosis and conjunctivitis. The commonly used indications were strabismus, dry eye and ophthalmoplegia, and the secondary indications were optic atrophy, blepharoptosis, oculomotor paralysis, blepharospasm, amblyopia. The most commonly used acupuncture points for ophthalmopathy were Cuanzhu (BL 2), Jingming (BL 1), Taiyang (EX-HN 5), and the most commonly used auricular points were yan (LO), gan (CO) and shen (CO). As for the methods of acupoint combination, local acupoints were mainly selected, combined with distal acupoint to assist treatment.
