Objective Minimally invasive treatment of orthopedic diseases is the general direction of future development of medicine.This study was designed to observe the effect of manual reduction combined with percutaneous kyphoplasty (MR+PKP) in the treatment of fresh osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures ( OVCF) in elderly patients. Methods Sixty OVCF patients aged 60-86 ( mean 72.3) years were randomly assigned to 2 groups of e-qual number to be treated by MR+PKP and PKP alone, respectively. Comparisons were made between the two groups of patients in the op-eration time, volumeand permeability of the bone cement injected,changes of the Cobb angle,restoration of the anterior height of the compressed vertebral bodies,pre-and post-operative Visual Analogue Scale ( VAS) pain scores, OswestryDisability Indexes ( ODIs) , and other differences observed before and aftersurgery. Results Op-erations were performed successfully in all the 60 cases.In the MR+PKP group, the mean operation time was 61 min, the mean volume of bone cement injected was 5.1mL with qualified distribution, and bone cement leakage occurred in 1 case without adverse reaction. Statistically significant differences were found in the pre-and post-operativeanterior height of the compressed vertebral bodies, Cobb an-gle, VAS scores, and ODIs (P<0.05).Compared with the PKP control, MR+PKP achieved a significant increase at 3 days and 3 months after surgery in the anterior height of the compressed vertebral bodies ([22.4±1.4] vs [26.8±8.1] mm and [21.4±4.2] vs [26.5±7.2]mm, P<0.05), and a decrease in the Cobb angle ([8.6±2.7] vs [8.1±2.1]°and [9.0±2.3] vs [8.3±1.8]°, P<0.05) as well as remarkably reduced VAS scores (4.1±2.2vs 3.1±2.0, P<0.05)and ODIs (23.0±3.1vs25.6±3.3, P<0.05) at 3 d postopera-tively. Conclusion MR+PKP, with its advantages of effective pain-relief, improvement of the height of compressed vertebral bodies, and reduction of bone cement leakage,is better than PKP alone for the treatment of OVCF in elderly patients.

This study was aimed to investigate the preventing efficacy of the combined using of Er-Shi-Wu-Wei Shan-Hu (ESWWSH) pill, Ru-Yi Zhen-Bao (RYZB) pill, Er-Shi-Wei Chen-Xiang (ESWCX) pill on the focal cere-bral ischemia injury in rats. A total of 80 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into four groups. In the sham operation group and the MCAO model group, normal saline was given orally every day (1 mL/100 g). In the positive control group, nimodipine was given orally every day (1.89 mg/100 g). In the drug combination group, ESWWSH pill (7 mg/100 g), RYZB pill (31.5 mg/100 g), ESWCX pill (49 mg/100 g), were separately given in the morning, noon and evening every day. Improved MCAO was used in the model establishment after 7-day intragastri-cal administration. After 24 h brain infarction, TTC method was used in the determination of the cerebral infarct size. Drying and weighing method was used in the calculation of brain water content. Determinations were made on con-tent of NO in ischemic brain issues (nitrate reductase method); activities of SOD in serum (xanthine oxidase method);content of MDA in serum (TBA method); and activities of LDH in serum (pyruvate method). The results showed that compared with the MCAO model group, the combined using of three Tibetan classical prescriptions can obviously re-duce the cerebral infarct size, brain water content and the NO content in brain issues, increase the activity of SOD, reduce the content of MDA, and reduce the activity of LDH in serum. It was concluded that the research preliminari-ly showed that the combined using of ESWWSH pill, RYZB pill and ESWCX pill can protect the ischemic brain tis-sues, such as reducing the cerebral infarct size, alleviating brain edema, and inhibiting oxidative stress reactions.

Objective:To explore the protective effect of emodin on D-galactosamine (D-GalN)/lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute liver injury and its mechanism.Methods:A total of 40 male BALB/c mice were randomly (random number) divided into 5 groups ( n=8 in each group): the control group, the emodin group, the D-GalN/LPS group, the emodin+D-GalN/LPS group and the 3-MA+emodin+D-GalN/LPS group. D-GalN (700 mg/kg) and LPS (10 μg/kg) were intraperitoneally injected to induce acute liver injury in mice. Autophagy inhibitor 3-MA (15 mg/kg) and/or emodin (20 mg/kg) were intraperitoneally injected 30 min before the liver injury model. The animals were sacrificed under anaesthesia 6 h after D-GalN/LPS challenge, blood samples and liver tissues were collected. The levels of alanineaminotransferase (ALT) and aspartateaminotransferase (AST) in serum, and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity of liver tissues were determined by colorimetric quantitative method; the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured by ELISA; the expression of LC3-II and Beclin 1 in the liver tissues were evaluated by Western blot; the pathological changes of liver was evaluated by HE staining. Animal survival rate was also analyzed. The one-way ANOVA was use to compare quantitative data, SNK- q test was used for pairwise comparison between two groups, and Games-Howell test was used when homogeneity of variance were not met. Results:Compared with the control group, the levels of ALT, AST, TNF-α, IL-6 and MPO activity [(2 476.80 ± 263.14) U/L, (271.71 ± 47.15) U/L, (537.92 ± 89.35) pg/mL, (169.74 ± 25.52) pg/mL, and (1.37 ± 0.22) U/mg] were obviously increased in the D-GalN/LPS group ( P<0.05). Compared with the D-GalN/LPS group, the levels of ALT, AST, TNF-α, IL-6 and MPO activity [(1 248.01 ± 380.70) U/L, (142.59 ± 34.63) U/L, (288.91 ± 67.21) pg/mL, (61.83 ± 13.64) pg/mL, and (0.80 ± 0.21) U/mg] were obviously decreased in the emodin+ D-GalN/LPS group ( P<0.05). Compared with the D-GalN/LPS group, the histopathological abnormalities in liver tissue were significantly alleviated and the survival rate of mice was improved in the emodin+ D-GalN/LPS group. Compared with the control group, the expression of LC3-II and Beclin1 was decreased in the liver tissue in the D-GalN/LPS group, while compared with the D-GalN/LPS group, the expression of LC3-II and Beclin1 was increased in the emodin+ D-GalN/LPS group. With co-administration of 3-MA, the protective effects of emodin in acute liver injury were reversed, the levels of AST, ALT, TNF-α, IL-6, and MPO [(2 398.78 ± 233.57) U/L, (242.79 ± 43.46) U/L, (505.07 ± 67.89) pg/mL, (151.46 ± 14.11) pg/mL, and (1.27 ± 0.15) U/mg] were increased, and the pathological damage of liver tissue was aggravated. Conclusions:Emodin alleviates D-GalN/LPS-induced acute liver injury in mice, which may be related to the activation of protein LC3-II, Beclin1 and restored autophagy.
