OBJECTIVETo study the effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on multimodal analgesia after total knee arthroplasty.

METHODSSixty patients diagnosed as knee osteoarthritis and suffered unilateral total knee arthroplasty in the department of orthopedics, Zhejiang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from March 2009 to May 2012 were randomly divided into control group and test group, 30 cases in each group. All the patients received celecoxib preoperatively, knee periarticular injection with the drug mixture intraoperatively, and celecoxib and morphine sulfate controlled-release tablets postoperatively. The patients in the test group were also treated with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation each day after operation. All the patients started doing functional exercises at 24 h after operation. Postoperative visual analogue scales(VAS), passive and active range of motion of knee joint,and complications were recorded.

RESULTSThe VAS scores of test group during postoperative 24 h to 1 week were 3.39 +/- 0.69, 2.79 +/- 0.51, 2.16 +/- 0.52, and 1.07 +/- 0.57 separately,which were lower than 3.80 +/- 0.86, 3.22 +/- 0.58, 2.53 +/- 0.54 and 1.38 +/- 0.52 in the control group. The passive and active range of knee joint motion in the test group during postoperative 24 h to 2 weeks were (30.67 +/- 3.65) degrees, (39.17 +/- 3.96) degrees, (47.83 +/- 4.86) degrees, (93.67 +/- 7.30) degrees, (107.67 +/- 7.51) degrees and (29.83 +/- 5.33) degrees, (78.33 +/- 8.24) degrees, (95.17 +/- 5.94) degrees respectively,which were higher than (28.67 +/- 3.92) degrees, (36.83 +/- 4.25) degrees, (45.17 +/- 5.17) degrees, (89.83 +/- 7.25) degrees, (103.17 +/- 7.37) degrees and (24.17 +/- 10.26) degrees, (73.83 +/- 9.07) degrees, (91.33 +/- 7.42) degrees in the control group. In the test group, 19 patients had ring-shaped haemostasis impression to some extent in the skin of knee joint to different degree, and 5 patients had blister formation.

CONCLUSIONIt is meaningful to apply transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for treating multimodal analgesia after total knee arthroplasty,which can not only relieve patients' postoperative pain, and also promote the rehabilitation of knee function as far as possible.

Objective To explore prognostic relative factors of different therapy for patients with intracrani-al aneurysm. Methods In 93 intracranial aneurysm patients, 38 cases were managed through craniotomy, in whom the effects of operation time, intraoperative aneurysmal rupture(IAB), temporary arterial occlusion (TAO)on 30-day and 6-month prognosis were investigated; while other 67 cases experienced endovascular treatment,in whom the simi-lar parameters of the different therapy, types of endovascular treatment, and intracranial aneurysm embolization were evaluated. 30 days and 6 months prognosis were regarded as the dependent variable, and SPSS for Windows 11.5 was adopted for data processing. Chi-Square test was performed. Results IAR exerted significant difference to 30 days and 6 months prognosis in patients undergoing craniotomy and clipping, there were 42 intracranial aneurysm, of which 16 aneurysm ruptured (χ2 = 5. 203,10. 886, P < 0.05 ). For patients undergoing endovascular treatment, the new ma-terial application could improve 6 months prognosis, in whom there were totaly 74 intracranial aneurysm, of which 23 aneurysm were managed by the use of old material for endovascular treatment and 51 aneurysm were managed by the use of new material for endovascular treatment(χ2 = 5. 544 and RR = 2. 364,95% CI 1. 197～4.669 ,P < 0.05 ). Un-successful ratio in the endovascular treatment was reduced simultaneously,from 43.5% (old material group) to 18.0% ( now material group) (χ2 = 5. 542,P < 0.05). Conclusions IAR is the important risk factor, which effects 30 days or 6 months prognosis of patients with intracranial aneurysms managed through craniotomy and clipping. The new material application in the endovascular treatment improves 6 months prognosis, meanwhile unsuccessful ratio in the endovascular treatment is reduced simultaneously.

Objective To explorethe relationship between serum uric acid (SUA ) and transcutaneousoxygenpressure(TcPO2)inpatientswithT2DM.Methods 622hospitalizedpatients with T2DM were recruited and divided into high SUA (HUA) group and normal SUA (T2DM) group.The differences in TcPO2 (initial value ,stable value ,initial value‐stable value ,leg‐raising initial value and leg‐raising maximum value)were compared between two groups.The correlations between SUA and TcPO2 were evaluated. Results The levels of TcPO2 were lower in HUA group than in T2DM group [initial value:left (34.05 ± 13.17) vs (39.26 ± 15.82) ,right (34.71 ± 14.90) vs (40.15 ± 16.23);stable value:left (38.93 ± 12.23) vs(45.19 ± 13.40) ,right (39.98 ± 12.34) vs (45.90 ± 16.77) ,P<0.05]. Pearson correlation analysis showed that the SUA levels negatively related with the stable TcPO2 value of leftor right side ,and with the change between the initial value and the stable value of TcPO2 (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The multiple linear regression analysis showed that SUA level was the impact factorof the left TcPO2 stable value. Conclusion HUA may be one of the risk factors microcirculation disorder in T2DM patients.
