Objective: To compare the effects of needle pricking therapy plus rotating-pulling manipulation and rotating-pulling manipulation on blood velocity,angiokinesis,and blood viscosity in patients with vertebral artery type of cervical spondylosis(CSA),and discuss its mechanisms.Methods: 216 patients were randomly divided into 2 groups according to numeric representation,108cases in the treatment group were treated by needle pricking therapy plus rotating pulling manipulation,and 108 cases in the control group were treated by rotating pulling manipulation.The peak systolic blood velocity(Vpeak),end diastolic blood velocity(Vmin),pulsatile index(PI)and resistant index(RI)of the bilateral vertebral arteries(VA)and basilar arteries(BA)were examined by transcranial doppler sonography(TCD).The values of whole blood apparent viscosity and plasma viscosity of both groups were recorded.The indexes before and after treatment of both groups were compared.Results: The therapeutic effects of the above-mentioned indexes of the treatment group were significantly superior to those of the control group(P<0.05).In comparison with pre-treatment,the whole blood apparent viscosity(high,medium and low shear rates)and plasma viscosity of the treatment group post-treatment were obviously reduced(P<0.01,P<0.05).Conclusion: Needle pricking therapy combined with pulling-rotating manipulation can significantly improve VATCS patients' clinical symptoms,which may be closely related to its effects in lowering vascular blood resistance and blood viscosity and increasing cerebral blood supply.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Shenxiong glucose injection and lipo PGE1 injection in treating the lower extremity arteriosclerotic occlusive disease (LEAOD).Methods 80 patients with LEAOD were randomly divided into control group and treatment group. Both groups were given conventional therapy, including reducing blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipid and anti-infection therapy.Control group was additonally given intra-femoral arterial infusion with urokinase 150000 units plus 15mL 0.9% sodium chloride and 10 mg anisodamine alternately every other day, 5 days for one course, stopping 3 days after another course.Treatment group was treated with intravenous injection Lipo PGE1 injection plus 10 mL 0.9% sodium chloride and intravenous Shenxiong glucose injection per day for 14 days.Clinical efficacy, changes in clinical symptoms, whole blood viscosity, high sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP), fibrinogen, ankle-brachial index(ABI), the inner diameter of the dorsalis pedis and the peak systolic velocity( PSV) of dorsalis pedis were compared and analyzed pre and post-treatment.Adverse drug reactions were recorded during the treatment.ResuIts The efficiency for the patients in the treatment group (90.0%) was higher than that in control groups(72.5%) (P<0.05).The symptoms of numbness and cold limbs, whole blood viscosity, ABI, hs-CRP improved more significantly in the treatment group (P<0.05).No adverse event occurred in the treatment group and 2 patients in control group had mild dry mouth.ConcIusion Shenxiong glucose injection combined with lipo PGE1 injection for the treatment of LEAOD is effective and safe and should be introduced in clinical practice.

Objective To explore the effect of SFI in radiation-induced mice brain injury after 20 Gy cranial radiation.Methods The mice were divided into three groups:(1) control group,(2) RT-only group:the whole brain was irradiated with a dose of 20 Gy,(3) RT and SFI group:SFI at 20 ml/kg/d from 4 weeks after 20 Gy cranial radiation theraty(CRT).Results Morris water maze test showed that the latency of the irradiated group was longer than control group and SFI improved the cognitive function of mice (t =6.34,6.70,P ＜0.05).The expression of TNF-α reached to the highest level at 3 h after irradiation,and then it decreased but got the second higher level again at 4 weeks after irradiation.The expression of IL-1 β reached to the highest level at 72 h after irradiation and decreased until 4 weeks after irradiation.SFI decreased both expressions of TNF-α (t =11.34,9.70,6.07,P ＜ 0.05) and IL-1 β (t =12.27,5.70,7.52,P ＜ 0.05).Immune florescence staining showed that SFI reduced the number of activated microglia (t =12.35,8.64,7.82,P ＜ 0.05)and inhibited the translocation of p65 of microglia after irradiation.Conclusions Findings suggest that SFI may decrease microglial activation and suppress the expression of TNF-α and IL-1β by inhibiting the translocation of NF-κB p65 and then attenuate irradiation-induced brain injury.

OBJECTIVETo study the therapeutic effects of posterolateral depression fractures of the tibial plateau through a modified anterolateral approach.

METHODSFrom February 2011 to January 2012,13 patients with posterolateral depression fractures of the tibial plateau were treated through a modified anterolateral approach. There were 8 males and 5 females, ranging in age from 28 to 59 years old (49.2 years old on average). Data from patients were collected retrospectively as follows: X-ray, time of fracture healing and the complications of fracture healing. The patients were evaluated both clinically and radiologically according to the Rasmussen score system.

RESULTSAll the patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 6 to 18 months (mean 13.7 months). All the patients got bony union. The average radiographic bony union time was 15.1 weeks (ranged, 11 to 17 weeks). No case of secondary articular depression was found. No complications such as malunion or joint stiffness were found. But 1 patient had superficial infection and 1 patient had common peroneal nerve injury. According to the Rasmussen score system,the mean radiological score was 16.50 ± 0.67 (ranged, 13 to 18), and the mean functional score was 25.20 ± 2.21 (ranged, 13 to 30). The mean range of knee motion was (125.3 ± 9.3)° (ranged, 0° to 135°).

CONCLUSIONTreatment of depression fractures of posterolateral tibial plateau with a modified anterolateral approach is a safe method with effective exposure, due to its stable fixation and relatively good outcome with minimal soft-tissue complications. It is regarded as an ideal procedure for depression fractures of posterolateral tibial plateau.
