BACKGROUND:Hip arthroplasty is an effective means currently in repair of femoral neck fractures. With the increased in the amount of surgery, surgery failure rate also has increased. In particular, prosthesis loosening and fracture are very common after replacement.Qiangguyin can promote the formation of osteoblasts, resist osteoporosis, inhibit osteoclast activity, and increase bone density. Drynaria invigorates the kidney, strengthens the bone and tendon and relieves pain, and has bidirectional regulatory effects on promoting bone formation and inhibiting bone resorption.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate effects ofQiangguyin on periprosthetic bone density in patients with femoral neck fracture after hip arthroplasty.
METHODS:96 patients with femoral neck fracture were equaly divided into observation group and control group based on the random number table. Both groups were given selective joint replacement. Patients were implanted with femoral head made by US Stryker Corporation, and fixed with bone cement. After replacement, patients in the control group were treated with calcium D3 tablets and capsules alfacalcidol. On this basis, the treatment group was given theQiangguyin oral drug intervention for a month. Bone density surrounding the prosthesis was observed in both groups. Alkaline phosphatase and tartrate-resistant hydrochloric acid phosphatase activities were detected. Repair effects were compared.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The surgery was successfuly completed in al patients. No infection or loosening of the prosthesis occurred. Ambulation time and healing time were significantly less in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05). No significant difference in bone density surrounding the prosthesis was detected between the two groups before medication, and an obvious increased trend was found after medication (P < 0.05). Bone density was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group after medication (P < 0.05). Serum alkaline phosphatase activity was significantly higher in the two groups after medication, but tartrate-resistant hydrochloric acid phosphatase activity was significantly decreased, which showed significant differences as compared with that before medication (P < 0.05). Simultaneously, significant differences in serum alkaline phosphatase activity and tartrate-resistant hydrochloric acid phosphatase activity were detected between the observation and control groups after medication (P < 0.05). At 6 months after replacement, the excelent and good rate of joint function was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (94%, 79%,P < 0.05). These results indicate that Qiangguyin could resist bone resorption and suppress excessive bone turnover, improve bone density around the prosthesis, and restore joint function after hip arthroplasty.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of early rehabilitation on disability of motion and cognition.Methods107 patients were randomly divided into two groups,rehabilitation group (51 cases) and control group (56 cases).Patients in rehabilitation group were given regular early rehabilitation,while all patients in both groups were given usual clinical treatment. The Barthel Index (BI), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Mini-mental Status Examination (MMSE) were used to evaluate these two groups before and 3 months after treatment. ResultsAfter treatment, the scores of BI, FMA and MMSE were improved significantly(P<0.05) in rehabilitation group compared with that before treatment, so did that of BI, FMA in control group(P<0.05).The scores of BI、FMMS、MMSE in rehabilitation group improved significantly compared with that in control group(P<0.05).ConclusionEarly rehabilitation may obviously improve the motive and cognitive function and increase the quality of living of hemiplegia after stroke.

Mucosal adjuvants play important roles in vaccine development. By now, the common used mucosal adjuvants can be divided into three categories: the bacterial derivatives, cytokines and chemokines, and antigen delivery systems. Progresses of the three kinds of adjuvants were reviewed to give a reference to novel vaccine research.

NSP4, as the diarrhea-related protein of rotavirus, is becoming an attractive candidate for vaccine development. To compare the immunogenicity of NSP4 from different genetic groups, we constructed eukaryotic expression plasmids comprising the NSP4 genes from four different genetic types using the pCI vector. The recombinant vectors were designated as pCI-97B6, pCI-97S36, pCI-97S34 and pCI-97SZ8, respectively. Following the conformation of the transient expression of the constructs in 293 cells, the plasmids were respectively subjected to the 5 round i. m. inoculation of BALB/c mice. The specific antibodies against NSP4 as well as the IgG1/IgG2a subclasses of immunoglobulin in mice sera were examined with indirect ELJSA after each immunization. The results showed that the immunization of plasmids expression NSP4s could elicit not only humoral but also cellular immunity, but the humoral immune response is dominant. There is a difference of immunogenecity among the NSP4 of different genetic type. Further studies were needed to focus on the relationship between the immunogenicity and protection effect.

Objective To learn the control status of iodine deficiency disorders in Baoji City of Shaanxi Province.Methods From 2009 to 2011,according to the National Iodized Salt Monitoring Program,the iodized salt was monitored,and thyroid was examined in 12 counties(areas) of Baoji City.According to rural and urban area stratification,60 children aged 8 to 10 were selected in each county(district),and their urine samples were collected for determination of iodine content.In 2011,per capita daily salt intake was surveyed by the three weighing method at children's home whose urine was collected.Chencang Area,Fufeng County and Taibai County,representatives of Baoji City different geomorphic features were selected for investigation of water iodine,and urinary iodine of pregnant and lactating women,and 15 people were selected in each county (district).Results From 2009-2011,in the 12 counties(areas) in Baoji City,the coverage rate of iodized salt was all 100.00％(3468/3468); the qualified rate of iodized salt and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt were all ＞ 99.00％.Children's goiter rate was 3.41％(87/2548),3.06％(77/2520) and 3.33％(84/2520),and they were all less than that of the national standard (＜ 5％).Medians of urinary iodine of 8-10 years old children were 368.20,293.80 and 332.50 μg/L,respectively,and the ratios of urine iodine ≥300 μg/L were accounted for 66.42％ (797/1200),48.05％(692/1440) and 56.67％(816/1440),respectively.Median urinary iodine of pregnant women was 301.81 μg/L and lactating women was 329.79 μg/L.A total of 1116 households were investigated,the median of per capita daily salt intake was 8.9 g.Eighteen water samples were collected,range of water iodine value were 0.60-10.25 μg/L.Conclusions Iodine nutrition in general population of Baoji City is exceeded the optimum level,and the current iodized salt concentration has some down space,but fully consideration should be taken on iodine needs in different iodine deficiency areas and among different groups of people.

Objective To analyse the clinical effect of Quantianma capsules combined with flupentixol and melitracen tablets on chronic migraine. Methods 130 patients with chronic migraine were treated with flupentixol and melitracen tablets, were divided into control group and observation group, 65 patients in each group. The observation group were given to Quantianma capsules. Results The effective rate of observation group with 90.77% was higher than control group with 73.85%(P<0.05). After treatment, the number of migraine attacks, duration time, VAS score, HAMA and HAMD score and mean flow velocity of cerebral artery of two groups were lower than pre-treatment and observation group were lower than that of control group(P<0.05). Adverse reactions were similar in the two groups. Conclusion Quantianma capsules can improve the efficacy of treatment of chronic migraine combined with flupentixol and melitracen tablets and improve condition with few adverse effects.
