The present study retrospectively analyzed 8 patients with hip dysplasia (8 hips) comprising 2 males and 6 females, aged 46 years old (range, 35-65 years old) who received treatment at the Department of Orthopedics, Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University between September 2004 and November 2006. Preoperative radiographs and CT examination showed that all patients presented with sharp angle of affected hip > 45°, poor containment of femoral head, narrow joint space, and non-successive Shenton's line. Following Crowe classification, there were 5 cases (5 hips) of grade Ⅱ,and 3 cases (3 hips) of grade Ⅲ. Preoperative Harris hip score was 50 points (range, 44-62 points). Total hip arthroplasty was employed in each patient. Prosthesis was fixed by Cementless or cemented modes. Cementless fixation was applied in 6 hips and cemented fixation in 2 hips. Cementless prosthesis was used on the affected side in each patient. Replacement time, bleeding volume during surgery, hospital days post-surgery, Harris scores, and peri-operative complications were recorded.Simultaneously, post-surgery healing was observed. All 8 cases were followed up for an average period of 6 months. All patients exhibited well recovered joint function. No infection, sciatic nerve injury, dislocation of hip joint, fracture of femoral shaft, thrombosis of deep veins, or prosthesis loosening were found in any follow-up case. Six months after surgery, Harris hip score was 88 points (range, 86-94 points). Radiographs taken at 3 months post-surgery displayed the bone union of surgical region. All these findings suggest that acetabular medial wall displacement osteotomy in total hip arthroplasty produces obvious early- and middle-stage effects in treatment of hip dysplasia.

Objective To undertake animal experimentation and clinical study on the safety and efficacy of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and intraarterial papaverine (IAP) infusion for treatment of refractory symptomatic cerebral vasospasm (CVS). Methods In the experimental study, vasospasm was induced in rabbits by double injections of blood into the cisterna magna, IAP infusion was given on either the 4th day or the 7th day after occurrence of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and then neurological observation, angiography, light and electron microscopy were done. In the clinical study, since September 1996, 22 patients with refractory symptomatic CVS involving 50 vascular territories received dilation therapy by PTA and IAP within 24 hours of clinical neurological deterioration. Results In the experimental study, all the rabbits except two in the 'the 4th day' group showed angiographic dilation in all of the spastic basilar arteries, and neurological improvement; in the ' the 7th day' group angiographic dilation appeared in 4 (57. 1% ) out of 7 rabbits. After 24 hours, 1 rabbit in each group had recurrence of neurological deficits and angiographic constriction. In the clinical study after aneurysm clipping or endovascular coil embolization was done, within 72 hours of SAH all patients underwent endovascular treatment: PTA alone in 3 cases, IAP alone in 14 cases, PTA and IAP in the remaining 5 cases. All vessel segments were dilated satisfactorily after endovascular treatment. Clinical improvement was significant in 13 cases,moderate in 7, minimal or none in 2; 2 cases died on the 7th day after endovascular dilation treatment. Conclusion Endovascular dilating techniques, namely, PTA, IAP and a combination of PTA and IAP, are safe and effective for treatment of symptomatic CVS refractory to medical therapy.

Traditional Chinese medicine market is a typical market with information asymmetry, which may lead to "lemons" problem. Third-Party Certification is efficient path to solve the problem of information asymmetry. For this reason geo-authentic and commodity classes certification seems to be very important. But as we know, information asymmetry happen in the stages of traditional Chinese patent medicines market. So a signaling transfer mechanism, which can deliver the quality signal, is badly needed in TCM market. This paper analysis and design of signaling transfer mechanism based on Third-Party Certification, which called quality prestige index of TCM enterprises (QPITCM). QPITCM can display quality information as a signal run through the TCM market.

Skillful in the treatment of gouty arthritis (GA) by integrated therapies of Chinese and Western medicine,chief physician Zhang Tang-fa proposes to ‘deal with the exterior with the needles,and attack the interior with the drugs,by integrated application of acupuncture and herbal medicine',in combination with comprehensive intervention of dietetic therapy and health education.In the treatment of GA,he adopts the syndrome differentiation based upon the pathogenic factors,in combination of syndrome differentiation based upon the six meridians,to reinforce and benefit the spleen and kidney,clear away heat and remove dampness as the therapeutic principle.By acupuncture mainly at the acupoints of the Spleen and Liver Meridians,he also proposes to select the acupoints by the theory of Na Zi Fa (earthly branch method) of Zi Wu Liu Zhu (midnight-noon ebb-flow),and to puncture the surrounding area of the involved joints shallowly by multiple needles as the major needling method,simultaneously with the reinforcing and reducing manipulations based upon the respiration.In the treatment,acupuncture and acupoint-injection are often used.In diet,low purine diet is often suggested.In health education,the patients are often instructed to understand the disease correctly,eliminate fears and cooperate with doctor's treatment positively.
