Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2007;5(4):234-237
To investigate the efficacy of the formula composed of the herbal drugs to soothe the liver, regulate qi, clarify the heart and eliminate vexation plus acupuncture for general anxiety disorder. Methods: Forty cases in the treatment group were treated with acupuncture plus herbal formula and 38 cases in the control group were treated with oral Doxepin. The assessment was conducted by Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and the Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (TESS) before, during and after treatment. Results: The total effective rate was respectively 82.50% in the treatment group and 84.21% in the control group, with a significant difference in SAS assessment (P<0.01) between the two groups before and after the treatment.There were no significant differences in the curative and remarkable effective rate, total effective rate and SAS assessment between the two groups (P>0.05), but the side effect was higher in the control group than in the treatment group (P<0.01). Conclusion: Acupuncture plus herbal formula can have a precise effective effect for extensive anxiety neurosis with mild toxic side effects.

Objective To investigate the changes of myocardial combination enzyme in the early stages of gunshot wound of dogs in seawater for exploring early treatment protocol. Methods Fourteen conventional Beagles models undergoing gunshot wound in seawater were used along with another 3 dogs receiving the wound on land to serve as control. After the dogs were rescued from the seawater, the origin of blood coming from central venous pressure tube was measured (33.75?25.29) min before and after injured for indexes such as alkaline aminotransferase (ALT) , aspartate aminotransferase (AST) , creatine kinase (CK) , creatine kinase isoenzymes - MB (CK -MB) , lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and adenosine monophosphate (AMY) in the early stages of wound, followed by statistical analysis of the results. Results There was an increase in blood CK (P0.05). As compared with the control, the experimental group in seawater was observed to have significant difference in blood AMY (P 0.05). But it was noted that CK, CK - MB , LDH , AST and ALT contents tended to increase. Conclusion The functions of respiratory, heart, liver and kidney were injured and restrained in Beagle dogs undergoing the firearms wound in natural seawater. The immediate diagnosis and treatment of the organism as well as the out - of - wound - tract injury shoud do while the firearms primal wound tract were treated in the early stages of gunshot wound.

Objective To research on the applicational value of quantitative immunofluorescence assay of high-sensitivity C- reactive protein(HS-CRP) detection in surveillance of ankylosing spondylitis(AS) and Rheumatoid arthritis(RA).Methods Using quantitative immunofluorescence technique to detect the serum HS-CRP among 43 patients with AS and 62 patients with RA and 30 healthy controls.Results Within-run CV% of repeatability were 4.98% and3.68% for lower and higher concentration of HS- CRP,respectively;between-run CV% of the stability were 4.57% and 5.42% for lower and higher concentration of HS-CRP, respectively;There was a good correlation between results of quantitative immunofluorescence assay and BNP special protein analyzer method(r=0.997);Both the level and the positive rate of HS-CRP of patients with AS and patients with RA were higher than those of the controls in the active phase.The level and the positive rate of HS-CRP in patients with AS and patients with RA were obviously higher in the active phase than in the non-active phase(P0.05).Conclusion There were significant correlations between HS-CRP and the activity of AS and RA,So HS-CRP was useful tools for monitoring the changes of patient's condition.It doesn't have much significance in differential diagnosis of AS and RA.

Objective To investigate the effects of the popliteofibular ligament (PFL) and/or the popliteus tendon (POP) reconstruction in an external rotation injury model of the knee.Methods Six nonpaired cadaveric knees were tested under the following POP and PFL states:intact,sectioned,and reconstructed using 3 different techniques.Each knee was subjected to 5 N·m external rotation torque at flexion angles of 0°,30°,45°,60°,90°,and 120°.A navigation system was used to measure the motion changes of the tibia with respect to the femur.Results The external rotation increased 2.1°±0.7° (2.0°-2.3°) after sectioning only PFL while flexing the knee from 30° to 120°,and increased 1.3°±1.2° (0.5°-2.0°) after sectioning only POP while flexing the knee from 30° to 120°.There was no significant difference between two groups.There was significant increase in external rotation as 4.1°±1.6° (2.8°-5.0°) after sectioning both POP and PFL.Comparing the POP and POP+PFL reconstruction techniques to the intact state,there were significant differences.The external tibial rotation in POP or POP+PFL reconstruction group was significant different from that in intact or PFL reconstruction group while flexing the knee from 30° to 90°.Conclusion In a LCL-intact PLC injury model,the POP and PFL function as a unit in resisting external rotation.All surgical procedures we described and tested are able to reduce the increased external rotational laxity found in the sectioned state.The PFL reconstruction is able to restore external rotation to near normal.However the techniques involving POP reconstruction over constrained external rotation during laxity testing.

Objective To compare stability between the traditional endoscopic technique and thetibial inlay in treatment of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction.Methods Between April 2005 and December 2009,135 patients underwent surgery for PCL in multiple-ligament injuries,and only 88 (65.2%) patients were followed up longer than 2 years.The follow-up time ranged 24 to 77 months (mean,45.9 months).Fifty-seven cases (64.8%) were treated with endoscopic transtibial PCL reconstructions,and 31(35.2%) received tibial inlay.Each patient was evaluated using the Tegner,Lysholm,and American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) knee-rating scales,KT-1000 arthrometry and Telos.Results The preoperative KT-1000 measurement was (13.5±4.8) mm (transtibial) and (13.7±5.2) mm (inlay).The postoperative KT-1000 measurement was (2.4±3.4) mm (transtibial) and (2.2±3.6) mm (inlay).The preoperative Telos measurement was (14.9±7.1) mm (transtibial) and (14.9±5.9) mm (inlay).The postoperative Telos measurement was (4.6±4.0) mm (transtibial) and (4.3±3.9) mm (inlay).There were significant differences (P<0.01) in KT-1000 and Telos between pre-and post-operative measurement,while it does not reach statistical significance (P=0.880,0.956,0.744,0.647) in KT-1000 and Telos when comparing transtibial and inlay technique.There were no significant differences in sex,age,time from injury to surgery,combined injuries or Lysholm,Tegner,AAOS knee score between two groups.Conclusion There was no important advantage of one technique over the other.Transtibial or inlay technique for PCL reconstruction can restore anteroposterior knee stability.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of parametric imaging of contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) on recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation.Methods CEUS images of 41 recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation was analyzed by Sonoliver CAP software.The color code image,curve image and quantitative parameter of DVP of each recurrence lesion was recorded,then typed and analyzed statistically.Results The DVP patterns were classified into 3 types,they were washed out types,non-washed out types and negative types.The washed out types,non-washed out types and negative types on color code image and curve image of DVP were 70.73% (29/41),24.39% (10/41),4.88% (2/41) and 63.41%(26/41),34.15% (14/41) and 2.44% (1/41) respectively.The maximum intensity,rise time,time to peak of the recurrence lesion and the surrounding liver parenchyma were (149.98± 65.29) %,(12.32 ± 5.83)s,(13.01 ±6.07)s and (100±0.00)%,(26.10± 10.81)s,(29.69± 11.60)s respectively,and showed statistical differences (P <0.05).Conclusions The difference of blood perfusion between the recurrence lesion and the surrounding liver parenchyma can be displayed by DVP's dynamic,direct and quantitative imaging,which can be used to provide valuable information about the detection of intrahepatic lesion of recurrence after liver transplantation.
