Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus auricular point sticking in treating polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Method A total of 80 PCOS patients were randomly divided into a treatment group of 40 cases and a control group of 40 cases. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture plus auricular point sticking, while the control group was intervened by acupuncture only. The clinical efficacy was observed in the two groups after 3 treatment courses. Result The menstrual condition and basal body temperature (BBT) were compared in the two groups before and after the treatment. The menstrual condition and BBT in the treatment group were significantly improved (P<0.01); the menstrual condition was improved (P<0.05) and the BBT condition was significantly improved in the control group (P<0.01). The total effective rate was 82.5% in the treatment group, significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture plus auricular point sticking can produce a satisfactory efficacy in treating PCOS.

OBJECTIVETo systematically review the effectiveness of bone substitute augmentation combined with internal fixation versus internal fixation alone in treating proximal femoral fractures in the elderly.

METHODSSubject term and keywords were searched from Pubmed, Cochrane databases and CNKI from database foundation to August 2015. Randomized controlled studies and qusi-randomized controlled studies on bone substitutes augmentation combined with internal fixation versus internal fixation alone for the treatment of proximal femoral fractures in the elderly were chosen. Postoperative re-displacement, re-operation rate, complications (infection and bone ununion), functional outcome, quality of life scores and muscle strength were seen as outcome indicators. Enumeration data were statistical analyzed by risk difference and 95% confidence interval. Measurement data were analyzed by standardized mean difference and 95% confidence interval. If the same measurement data were evaluated by different standards in different studies, standardized mean differences and 95% confidence interval were used. The methods of statistical analysis were used by Cochrane databases.

RESULTSEleven RCTs (677 patients) were included. Meta-analysis results indicated that bone substitutes augmentation combined with internal fixation occurred fewer re-displacement [SMD = -0.75, 95% CI (-1.03, -0.47)] and obtained better function [SMD = 0.40, 95% CI (0.20, 0.59)]. While there were no significant differences in reoperation rate [RD = 0.02, 95% CI (-0.05, -0.09)], pain at 1 week after operation [MD = -1.79, 95% CI (-13.55, -9.96)], pain ranged from 6 to 8 weeks [MD = -7.24, 95% CI (-20.07, -5.59)], postoperative pain at 12 weeks [MD = -0.32, 95% CI (-4.9, -3.55)], muscle strength [MD = 1.25, 95% CI (-6.98, -9.48)], bone ununion [RD = 0.02, 95% CI (-0.01, -0.05)] and postoperative complications [MD = 0.01, 95% CI (-0.03, -0.04)].

CONCLUSIONCompared with single internal fixation, bone substitutes augmentation combined with internal fixation for the treatment of proximal femoral fractures in the elderly less occur re-displacement and could obtain better functional recovery.

BACKGROUND:In order to avoid heterotopic ossification after total hip arthroplasty, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are commonly used for prevention.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the effect of meloxicam and indomethacin in the prevention of heterotopic ossification after total hip arthroplasty.
METHODS:Fifty-one patients who treated in the Department of Orthopedics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from 2010 to 2011 were col ected. Among the 51 patients, nine patients were treated with bilateral total hip arthroplasty, and al the patients had total hip arthroplasty with the posterior-lateral approach. The patients were divided into the control group and the experimental group according to the drugs used after replacement, and the patients in the two groups were administered with indomethacin sustained-release tablet 25 mg+omeprazole capsule 20 mg or meloxicam tablet 15 mg after replacement.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were no significant differences in the incidence of heterotopic ossification, pain, modified D’Aubigne and Postel scores after replacement between two groups (P>0.05). But, the gastrointestinal adverse reactions of the experimental group were less than those of the control group. The application of meloxicam only can effectively avoid the heterotopic ossification and release pain. Consequently, we recommend meloxicam as postoperative drug for the prevention of heterotopic ossification and pain remission fol owing total hip arthroplasty.

A 44-year-old male presented with a neoplasm on the buccal side of the right nasolabial fold for more than two months.Dermatological examination showed a hemispherical bulge sized 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm with central crater-like ulceration on the buccal side of the right nasolabial fold,as well as a crescent-shaped elevation measuring 1.5 cm × 2.5 cm above the hemispherical lesion.Histopathology of the hemispherical lesion revealed irregularly downward proliferation of epidermis,crater-like holes filled with eosinophilic keratinous plug in the center which were surrounded by collar-shaped epithelial cell projections.Small neutrophil abscesses were found in the clumps of epithelial cells,and massive lymphocyte infiltration with a clear bottom boundary was observed around the proliferating epithelial cells.Histopathologic examination of the crescent lesion showed multiple irregularly-shaped lobular-like structures of various sizes with sebaceous glands at different degrees of maturity in the mid dermis,which were surrounded by proliferating connective tissue.Immunohistochemical studies showed that the squamous cells stained positive for cytokeratin (CK),CK5,CK14,CK17,carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) in the keratoacanthoma,and the sebaceous cells for CK,CK5,CK14 and EMA in the sebaceous adenoma.The pathological diagnosis was keratoacanthoma and sebaceous adenoma.The patient was diagnosed with moderately and poorly differentiated rectal adenocarcinoma in 2008.A diagnosis of Muir-Torre syndrome presenting as keratoacanthoma and sebaceous adenoma was finally made.

Objective To explore the operative methods and clinical outcomes in emergency or sube- mergency repair for the complicated tissue defects in hand in first stage applying microsurgical technique. Methods From Jan.,2000 to Aug.,2005,49 emergency cases of complicated hand tissue defects were re- paired in the first stage with replantation,reconstruction,free flaps,combined finger reconstruction and flap transplantation,including 21 cases in mini tissue mass replantation or reconstruction,15 cases in replantation combined with free flap transplantation,8 cases in replantation and reconstruction combined with free flap transplantation,5 cases in combined multiple digits reconstruction with free flap transplantation.The free flap transplantation included the anterolateral femoral flap,the latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap,the dorsalis pe- dis flap,the media pedis flap and the instep flap.Results All the flaps,the replanted and reconstruceted finger survived uneventfully except for one replanted finger necrosis.45 cases healed in the first stage and the other 4 cases healed in the second stage.During a follow-up from 6 months to 3 years postoperatively,a satis- factory appearance and function of the reconstructed hand was achieved.The excellent and good rate was 85.7% assessed with provisional functional assessment criterion for upper limbs issued by Chinese Society of Hand Surgery.Conclusion The emergency or subemergency repair for the complicated tissue defects in hand has the advantage of short-term treatment and desirable functional outcome.The emergency replantation and reconstruction combined with various flaps or tissue mass can be applied to repair tissue defect in hand in the first stage according to the position and area of the defect along with the technique level of the surgeon, having been proved to achieve desirable clinical outcomes.And the key points leading to a successful operation is the correct treatment for the raw surface of the defects,suitable choice for various flaps,logical design of combination pattern and prevention and timely treatment for vessel crisis.

Forest musk deer is one of the large-scale farming musk deer animals with the largest population at the same time. The male musk deer can secrete valuable medicines, which has high medicinal and economic value. Due to the loss of habitat and indiscriminate hunting, the numbers of wild population specie and the distribution have been drastically reduced. Therefore, in-depth understanding of the molecular genetics progress of forest musk deer will pave a way for musk deer protection and breeding. In this review, the progress associated with the molecular marker, genetic classification, artificial breeding, musk secretion and disease in past decades were reviewed, in order to provide a theoretical basis for subsequent molecular genetic researches in forest musk deer.
