Objective To observe the efficacy of intra-articular (IA) blockade of TNF-α by 3 etanercept injections in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods Eighteen moderate activity RA patients with resistant knee synovitis underwent three monthly IA injection of etanercept (25mg).The primary outcomes were visual analogue scale of target knee general health (VAS-TKGH) and VAS target knee Pain Score,and we also collected diameter of target knee joint,VAS fatigue Score,Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ),the 28-joint based disease activity score (DAS28) and joint fluid volume,which were all assessed at baseline and every four weeks after IA injection.Results All those 18 patients completed the treatment with the average disease duration of was (8 4.7 ± 54.1) months.After each IA injection,VAS-TKGH was significantly improved than baseline (P =0.03,0.02,0.02).and VAS target knee pain score was also significantly improved than baseline (P =0.03,0.00,0.00).After 3rd IA injection,VAS-TKGH was further reduced compared with those after 1 st and 2nd IA injection (P =0.02,0.03) ; while,VAS target knee pain score was further reduced after 3rd IA injection (P =0.00).Knee joint diameter,VAS fatigue score,HAQ and DAS 28 were significantly lower after 1st IA injection than baseline (P =0.03,0.02,0.03).After 2nd IA injection,VAS fatigue score,HAQ,and DAS28 were significantly further improved compared to treatment once (P =0.00,0.02,0.02) ;after 3rd IA injection,HAQ and DAS28 were further improved compared to those after 2nd IA injection (P =0.01,0.02).Joint fluid volume was significantly decreased after 2nd IA injection (P =0.01).Conclusion The tailor approach of intra-articular injections of anti-TNF agent might benefit RA patients who had resistant synovitis,and the side effect was rare.However,the sample was small and further observation is needed.

To observe the curative effect of treating small -incision cataract extraction by intraocular lens implantation combined with trabeculectomy for primary angle-closure glaucoma with cataract.
●METHODS: Totally 44 cases (52 eyes) of primary angle-closure glaucoma combined with cataract were selected to undergo the combined surgery, in order to observe the patients' pre - and postoperative eyesights, intraocular pressures and the postoperative complications.
●RESULTS: The postoperative eyesight was improved significantly as compared with the preoperative eyesight. The intraocular pressure was declined dramatically. The result was of statistical significance (P<0. 05). All the 52 cases' surgeries were performed by the same surgeon. The surgeries were processed smoothly, with 6 postoperative eyes of anterior chamber inflammation cell response, 3 eyes of anterior chamber fibrinoid exudate, 2 eyes of shallow anterior chamber through mydriasis and treatment with glucocorticoids and non - steroidal eyedrops before absorption, and no complications like malignant glaucoma, cyclodialysis, etc. were reported through mydriasis and pressure bandaging before recovery.
● CONCLUSlON: Treating the primary angle - closure glaucoma combined with cataract through the combined surgery has high reliability and desirable curative effect. The surgical method is simple to learn and applicable for promotion on the basic level.

Objective To observe the effect of Jiaotai Pills ( JP) on hypothalamic neurotransmitters of Orexin A and gamma-aminobutyric acid ( GABA) in rapid eye movement ( REM) sleep deprivation rats. Methods Rat model of REM-sleep deprivation was established by water small platform method. The rats were randomized into 6 groups, namely normal control group, model group, Diazepam group (3 mg/kg), and high-, medium-and low-dose JP groups ( JP in the dosage of 18.6, 9.3 and 4.6 g/kg respectively) . Enzyme-labeled instrument was used to detect the absorbance ratio of rat hypothalamic Orexin A content, and high performance liquid phase electrochemical detection method was adopted for the detection of hypothalamic GABA content. Results Compared with the normal control group, all of the rats in the model group suffered from insomnia, and the Orexin A content was increased ( P<0.05) . Compared with the model group, insomnia in rats of high-, medium- and low-dose JP groups was markedly relieved, and Orexin A was decreased (P<0.05) . The difference of GABA was insignificant between model group and JP groups (P>0.05) . Conclusion The sedative and hypnic mechanism of JP is probably related with the inhibition of hypothalamic Orexin A.

Objective To Evaluate the efficacy and safety of Qingre-Huoxue Recipe ( QHR ),Qingre -Huoxue Recipe and Methotrexate(QHR+MTX) in improving clinical symptoms of dampness-heat and blood-stasis syndrome of rheumatoid arthritis.Methods According to multi-center,randomized,and control intervention design,142 RA patients were randomly divided into QHR group (71 cases) and QHR+MTX group (71 cases).With clinical symptoms as evaluation indexes,FAS set and PP set were adapted for analysis.Results FAS set analysis:Both groups can significantly reduce pain VAS score [ (4.82 ± 1.98) vs (4.31 ± 1.85) ],reduce tenderness and swollen joint number[(4.87±4.05)vs(4.20±3.36)、(8.72±6.24)vs(7.14±5.03)respectively],shorten morning stiffness [ (39.56 ± 46.68) min vs (36.65 + 42.58) min] and significantly reduce the symptoms of fatigue[ (4.13 ±2.34) vs (3.74 ±2.20) ],also with good security.But there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups.Conclusion Qingre-Huoxue Recipe with MTX had no significant advantage in improving clinical symptoms in patients with the dampness-heat and blood-stasis syndrom of RA than without MTX.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) in the treatment of Neer three-part fractures of the proximal humerus in young adults. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed of the 46 patients aged < 65 years with Neer three-part fracture of the proximal humerus from March 2010 to December 2016. MIPPO with locking proximal humerus plate ( LPHP ) was used in 23 of them who were 12 men and 11 women with an average age of 41. 6 ± 1. 2 years; open reduction and internal fixation ( ORIF ) with LPHP was used in the other 23 patients who were 14 men and 9 women with an average age of 42. 2 ± 1. 6 years. The 2 groups were compared in terms of operation time, intraoperative bleed-ing, fracture healing time and shoulder function by Neer scoring at the last follow-up. Results The average follow-up ( 13. 4 ± 1. 2 months ) for the MIPPO groups was not statistically different from that for the ORIF group ( 14. 2 ± 2. 4 months ) ( P > 0. 05 ) . The MIPPO group reported significantly shorter operation time ( 105 ± 15 min ) , significantly less intraoperative bleeding ( 140 ± 50 mL ) , significantly shorter fracture healing time ( 4. 2 ± 0. 6 months ) , and significantly higher shoulder Neer scores ( 88. 6 ± 3. 4 ) than the ORIF group ( 120 ± 20 min, 320 ± 40 mL, 5. 4 ± 1. 2 months, and 81. 6 ± 2. 2, respectively ) ( P <0. 05 ) . The complication rate ( 4. 3％, 1/23 ) for the MIPPO group was not significantly different from that for the ORIF group ( 17. 4％, 4/23 ) ( P >0. 05 ) . Conclusion MIPPO with LPHP may be obviously advantageous over ORIF with LPHP in the treatment of proximal humeral fractures in young adults.

Objective To explore the accuracy and practical significance of the 3-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the liver and the abdominal blood vessels based on the data of 64-slice spiral computerized tomography (64S-SCT). Methods The 2D images of the liver and the abdominal blood vessels were collected after TLC-scanning with 64S-SCT. The 3D images of the liver, hepatic internal duct system and the abdominal blood vessels were reconstructed by the medical image processing system. The volume of the 3D reconstructed liver was compared with that of the actual liver measured by the 64S-SCT, and the portal vein of the reconstructed liver model was compared with that reconstructed by the Mxview workstation based on the 64S-SCT data. Results The 3D models of the liver, hepatic internal duct system and abdominal blood vessels were vivid, and could be revolved and observed at any direction. The spatial relationship among main intrahepatic ducts was clearly displayed. The actual liver volume and the condition of the intrahepatic ducts were accurately demonstrated. The reconstructed liver, the branches of the hepatic artery and portal vein, and the abdominal blood vessels were simultaneously displayed by adjusting the transparency of the liver model. The portal vein of the reconstructed liver model completely matched that reconstructed by the Mxview workstation based on the 64S-SCT data. Conclusions The 3D models of the liver, hepatic internal duct system and abdominal blood vessels reflect the human anatomy structure, and provide reliable virtual organs and vessel system for virtual liver surgery.
