[Objective]To study the safety,clinical effect and therapeutic characteristics of distraction apparatus for correcting flexion contracture deformities of the knee joint by evaluating the clinical outcomes and investigating the results of biomechanic test.[Method]Forty-nine patients (included 52 knees) were treated by the standardized distraction apparatus and the comprehensive assessment standard was adopted to evaluate the clinical outcomes.Five patients were examined by three-dimensional CT of the knee joints pre-operatively and post-operatively to observe the changes in the knee structure.To observe the effect of distraction on the popliteal artery and the limb nerves,the popliteal artery diameter and blood flow speed were examined in 15 patients and the regio cruris electromyogram and nerve conduction velocity were examined in 6 patients before and after treatment.Three different means of distraction and measurement were underwent in 3 patients so as to observe the changes in the flexion curve and force of posterior soft tissues of the knee.[Result]All patients (52 knees) regained congruous structure and better function,the final excellent and good result rate was 65%.Three-dimensional CT examination of 5 patients showed that the postoperative knee joint structures were superior to the preoperative ones and there weren't damage of articular surface.The statistic results indicated that the popliteal arteries weren't obviously disturbed by distraction,whereas the limb nerves were probably disturbed temporarily.Three methods of distraction and measurement in 3 patients showed different outcomes,indicating that the effect of distraction on soft tissues was influenced by the distraction method,the ages of patients and the extents of deformities of the limb.[Conclusion]The distraction speed of therapeutic method is safe,reasonable and effective in correcting flexion contracture of the knee joint;The distraction force on posterior soft tissues of the knee is influenced by various elements,thus,the distraction speed should be individualized.Low-load and steady stretch are advantageous to soft tissue regeneration and safer.

Objective: To observe the efficacy of combined Chinese and Western medicines in the treatment of senile functional constipation. Methods: One hundred patients with senile functional constipation were divided into treatment group and control group. There were 50 in each group. The patients in the treatment group were treated with Danggui Shaoyao Decoction and Cisapride Tablets, while the patients in the control group were treated with Cisapride Tablets only. The efficacy in the two groups were compared after three courses. Results: The total effective rate of the treatment group was 92% and the control group's was 78%, the former was higher than latter with the comparatively significant difference (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The results indicate that the combination of Chinese and Western medicines is highly effective in the treatment of senile functional constipation.

Objective This research is to observe the treatment effects of hip bath and oxygen blowing on severe neonatal diaper rash.Methods 289 neonates with severe diaper rash were randomly divided into three groups.91 cases in the flat tube group,102 cases in the round tube group and 96 cases in the control group.Three groups of neonates were cleaned on the hips and perineuma after poops and then dried with wet tissues and Mupirocin Ointment.The control group was treated with the above-mentioned method.The oxygen blowing groups were treated with hip bath of 1:5000 chameleon solution twice a day.Blowing the hips with oxygen five minutes every time after hip bath.The method of blowing oxygen was that oxygen humidifying containers as normal oxygen aspiration facilities was not filled with water,whose oxygen flowing volume standed at 10 L/min and whose tube blew at the afflicted parts until being dry.The oxygen blower held the oxygen exit and blowed at the afflicted parts in the round tube group and the oxygen blower flattened the oxygen exit and blew at the afflicted parts in the fiat tube group.The treatment effects will be compared among the three groups four days later.Results The cure period of the round tube group was obviously shorter than that of the control group,and the cure period of the fiat tube group was remarkably shorter than that of the round tube group.The total effective rate in the round tube group was obviously higher than that of the control group and the total effective rate in the fiat tube group was obviously higher than that in the round tube group.The difference had a statistical significance.Conclusions The treatment effects for the severe neonatal diaper rash with hip bath and oxygen blowing are remarkable and the oxygen blowing effects with fiat tubes are better than those with round tubes.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the potential correlation between clinical efficacy of pemetrexed in the treatment of ad-vanced breast cancer and TS mRNA expression. METHODS:Patients with advanced breast cancer were recruited in our study. Three cycles of pemetrexed was given to these patients,TS mRNA expression of their tumor tissues were detected. The relationship of ther-apeutic efficacies of different chemotherapy with TS mRNA expression were observed and compared during the study period. RE-SULTS:58 patients received pemetrexed chemotherapy and therapeutic efficacies of them were evaluated. One patient (1.7%) had complete response,19 patients(32.8%)had partial response,31 patients(53.4%)had stable response and 7 patients(12.1%)has progressive disease. Objective response rate was 34.5%,and disease control rate was 87.9%. TS mRNA expression level of 55 pa-tients with completed TS mRNA expression analysis varied from 0.04 to 5.11,with a median of 0.62. Mann-Whitney rank test showed that,responders had lower TS mRNA expression than nonsponders at all visits,there was statistical significance (P<0.05). Chi-square test showed that patients with low expression level of baseline(before chemotherapy)TS mRNA had significantly higher objective response rate(63.3%)than those with high expression(36.7%),there was statistical significance(P<0.05). CON-CLUSIONS:TS mRNA expression level is related to therapeutic efficacy of pemetrexed,which may be useful for predicting thera-peutic efficacy of pemetrexed therapy in patients with advanced breast cancer.
