Objective To study the effects of Tongqiao-Huoxue decoction on neuron apoptosis in the CA1 region of the hippocampus and the serum nidogen expression of vascular dementia(VaD) rats and to investigate its mechanism. Methods 40 healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into a normal group, a sham operation group, a model group, a TCM group, and a placebo group. VaD rat models were established by Olsson method. After the models were successfully prepared, the rats in the TCM group were fed Tongqiao-Huoxue decoction, the rats in the placebo group were fed distilled water. Morris water maze test was adopted to investigate their learning and memory abilities, TUNEL was used to assay hippocampal CA1 neurons apoptosis, ELISA kits was used to detect Nestin serum levels . Results The neuron apoptosis index in the CA1 region of the hippocampus in the TCM group was(37.01±2.23)%,which was(55.15±1.54)%in the placebo group;the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The serum nidogen was(4.47±0.31)ng/L in the TCM group, which was(3.42±0.43)ng/L in the placebo group;the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Compared to the VaD group, escape latency in the TCM group in the third, forth, and fifth day was significantly shorter(P<0.05), the number of cross platforms were significantly increased(t=3.521, P=0.000). Conclusion Tong qiao-Huoxue decoction can improve learning and memory impairment in VaD rats, which may be associated with its increasing serum nidogen expression and decreasing the neuron apoptosis in hippocampal CA1.

[Objective]To investigate the clinical features,reasons of missed diagnosis and treatment for ipsilateral fractures of femoral neck and shaft.[Method]Twelve cases of ipsilateral fractures of femoral neck and shaft treated from 1999 to 2005 were retrospectively reviewed.Seven cases' neck fractures were diagnosed separately before operation,2 cases' were diagnosed during operation and 3 were diagnosed after operation.Among the 12 cases,3 cases were treated with reconstructive intramedullary nail to fix both shaft and neck fractures;2 cases were treated with DHS to fix both shaft and neck fractures;1 case was treated with retrograde interlocking intramedullary nail to fix shaft fracture and with canulated screws to fix neck fracture;2 cases were treated with interlocking intramedullary nails and canulated screws;1 case combined supracondylar fracture of femur,was treated with LISS-DF to fix shaft and supracondylar fracture,canulated screws to fix the neck fracture;the neck fractures were found in 3 cases after shaft fixation with plate,then fixed with canulated screws.[Result]All cases were followed up for 1~6 years,with an average of 3.4 years.All femoral shaft fractures were united and 11 neck fractures were united,1 neck fracture was malunion,1 case was osteonecrosis of femoral head.[Conclusion]The ipsilateral fracture of femoral neck and shaft is rare,and the neck fracture is easy to miss diagnosis.The orthopaedic surgeons should consider the femoral neck fractures by analyzing the mechanism of high energy injury patient with femoral shaft fracture.Pelvic X-ray should be taken conventionally or CT scan when necessary.The surgical treatment for ipsilateral fractures of femoral neck and shaft depends on the position of femoral shaft,and the situation of femoral neck.

Sixty-two elderly patients with distal radius fractures after fixation with small splints were enrolled in the study from January to December 2014.Patients were randomly divided into intervention and control groups with 31 cases in each group.Patients in both groups received comprehensive prevention for hand swelling, those in intervention group were given additional external administration of sodium aescinate gel (SAG), 1 g, t.i.d for 7 d.Swelling score and visual analogue scale (VAS) were documented before and 3, 7 d after intervention.At the time of fracture healing, the wrist functions, including motions of flexion-extension, motions of radial-ulnar and motions of pronation-supination were examined.At 3 and 7 d after intervention, the swelling score(1.22 ±0.69 vs.1.65 ±0.75 and 0.64 ±0.42 vs.0.96 ±0.71) and VAS(1.96 ±1.27 vs.2.85 ±1.40 and 1.11 ±0.65 vs.1.86 ±1.09)of intervention group were lower than those of control group (all P<0.05).At the time of fracture healing, the wrist motions of flexion-extension [(83.7 ±8.6) vs.(77.6 ±7.1)%], motions of radial-ulnar [(83.0 ±7.6) vs.(78.2 ±8.7)%] and motions of pronation-supination [(81.0 ±7.0) vs.(76.2 ±7.5)%] of intervention group were higher than those of control group ( P <0.05 ) .The results indicate that SAG can reduce swelling, relief pain and promote the recovery of wrist function in elderly patients with distal radius fractures.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of artificial tiger bone powder on osteoporosis.Methods The postmenopausal women with osteoporosis were randomly divided into treatment group and control group,31 cases in each group.The treatment group orally received artificial tiger bone powder,the control group orally received Caltrate D.At the beginning and 3,6 months after treatment,European health index (EQ-5D),Barthel index (BI) and Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R) were used to evaluate the curative effect.Results There were no significant differences in EQ-5D,BI and FPS-R between the two groups at the beginning of treatment.At 3,6 months after treatment,EQ-5D of the two groups were (0.83 ± 0.09) points vs.(0.77 ± 0.08) points,(0.89 ± 0.07) points vs.(0.84 ± 0.08) points;BI were (74.61 ± 8.39) points vs.(70.07 ± 8.51) points,(77.24 ± 7.15) points vs.(73.31 ±7.41) points;FPS-R were (3.14 ± 1.06) points vs.(3.79 ± 1.12) points,(2.31 ± 0.92) points vs.(2.98 ±0.87) points,which in the treatment group were better than those in the control group (t =2.774,2.619,2.115,2.125,2.347,2.946,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Artificial tiger bone powder can relieve pain in postmenopausal osteoporosis patients,improve the patients' ability and improve their quality of life.And artificial tiger bone powder can effectively treat postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of clearing away heat and activating blood decoctions on salivary gland function of patients with Sj?gren's Syndromes (SS). Methods 24 cases of SS (SS group) and 7 cases of normal control (normal group) were tested with salivary gland scintigraphy using 99mTCO4-, and 11 cases of patients were re-tested after treatment. Results The introjection fraction (IF) of salivary gland had no statistical difference between the two groups, while the evacuation fraction (EF) was lower in SS group than in normal group (P

Objective To evaluate the role of transanal ileus tube decompression in the management of malignant obstruction of left-sided colon. Methods With the help of colonoscopy and radiography, 11 cases of left-sided malignant colonic obstruction were treated with transanal ileus tube insertion into the proximal obstruction site for the decompression of the dilated bowel. Curative effects were evaluated according to patient’s symptom relief, bowel sounds, abdominal circumference, intra-abdominal pressure, and plain abdominal radiography. Results Symptoms of acute intestinal obstruction were relieved in all the 11 cases after ileus tube decompression for 3~5 days. Laparoscopic or open primary colectomy was performed in 7 patients with resectable tumor. Postoperative follow-up observations for 1~18 months (median, 11 months) showed no complications like anastomotic leakage. Conclusions Transanal ileus tube decompression in the management of malignant obstruction of left-sided colon is safe and effective.

Objective To evaluate the safety of laparoscopic resection for giant abdominal benign mass.Methods Six cases of giant abdominal benign mass(8～25 in diameter)underwent laparoscopic exploration and resection under general anesthesia from July 2005 to March 2006.Results The laparoscopic resection was accomplished in all the 6 cases.The operation time was 75～220 min(mean,135 min),the intraoperative hemorrhage volume was 20～100 ml(mean,55 ml),the duration for abdominal drainage was 1～3 d(mean,2 d),and the postoperative hospital stay,2～7 d(mean,4.3 d).There was no complications such as intestinal injury,postoperative bleeding,or abdominal infection.Follow-up visits for 1～9 months(mean,6.5 months)found no recurrence.Conclusions Laparoscopic resection of giant abdominal benign mass is a feasible and safe minimally invasive technique.
