Through retrieval of all medical journals of CNKI and VIP from Jan. 1996 to Oct. 2012, ninety-nine articles were selected and analyzed. The result shows that reliable effect can be found in pain relieving, especially in pain of muscles and soft tissues. In mechanism research, action mechanism of Fu's subcutaneous needling (FSN) on pain relieving is expounded through theory of traditional medicine and modern medicine. Although the effect of FSN on pain relieving has been confirmed by numerous clinical trials, it is still lack of explanation on mechanism revealing. The further studies should focus on mechanism expounding, improving research methods and selecting more objective and reasonable evaluation system. Therefore, the effectiveness and scientificalness of FSN can be further enhanced.

OBJECTIVETo study clinical effects of a new internal fixation by using a cable through the bone and Kirschner with a hole in the tail, for the treatment of patellar fractures.
METHODSFrom May 2012 to July 2013, thirty-four patients with patellar fractures were treated with cable through the bone and Kirschner with a hole in the tail. All the patients had close fracture,including 12 transverse fractures and 22 comminuted fractures. There were 18 males and 16 females, ranging in age from 26 to 81 years old, with an average of (46.0 ± 3.0) years old. After open reduction, two appropriate length of Kirschner with a hole in the tail were driven into the patella as perpendicular to the fracture line or the major fragments as possible. A transverse bone tunnel was then drilled with a Kirschner at one side of the patella. Then the cable, which was successively pulled through the bone tunnel and the hole of Kirschner, was crossed in a figure-eight over the anterior of the patella, tightened and fixated by special instruments. The Kirschner was clipped off on the edge of the hole. If it was a comminuted fracture, another cable was used to fasten the patella with cerclage. Postoperative evaluation was based on Bostman.
RESULTSAll the patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 12 to 26 months, with a mean of (16.0 ± 2.0) months. Fractures healed in all the cases without such complications as infection, loosening of Kirschner and cable loop, and skin irritation. According to the Böstman score system, 33 cases got an excellent result, and 1 good.
CONCLUSIONThe cable through the bone and Kirschner with a hole in the tail is a simple, stable and effective method for the treatment of patellar fractures, especially the transverse fractures, with earlier knee exercise and fewer complications.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of a self-made guiding needle of steel wire in guiding the wire through the tibial tunnel for the treatment of avulsion fractures of tibial posterior cruciate ligament with open reduction and wire fixation.
METHODSFrom February 2011 to June 2014, a total of 22 patients with avulsion fractures of tibial posterior cruciate ligament underwent surgical treatments were analyzed, including 14 males and 8 females with an average age of 35.6 years old (ranged, 17 to 63 years old). According to Meyers classification, 9 patients were classified as type II, 13 patients were classified as type III. All the patients underwent open reduction and wire fixation with medial knee "L" shape approach. A wire guiding needle was used to guide the wire through the tibial tunnel during operation.
RESULTSWith the assistance of wire guidance needles, wires passed through the tibial tunnel rapidly during the operation in all the 22 patients. All the patients were followed up, X-ray imagings 6 months after operation showed the fractures healed well. The average follow-up time in all patients was 6 months (ranged, 6 to 12 months). The averaged Lysholm knee score in 22 knee was 92.7 +/- 3.4. All patients' posterior drawer test were negative.
CONCLUSIONSelf-made wire guiding needle can simplify the operation procedures in which the wires pass through the tibial tunnel, shorten the operation time, reduce the surgical trauma and complications, and be worthy of clinical application.

BACKGROUND:Gemcitabine hydrochloride is a water-soluble anticancer drug that induces apoptosis in tumor cells, but it has an excessive release in vivo. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) electrospun fiber membranes carrying gemcitabine hydrochloride on the growth of human osteosarcoma cell lines MG-63. METHODS:PLA electrospun fiber members with (experimental) or without (control) gemcitabine hydrochloride were fabricated and characterized. Two kinds of fiber membranes were immersed in low-glucose DMEM medium, and the supernatants were collected in the two groups at 3, 5, 7 days, respectively. Passage 5 human osteosarcoma cell lines MG-63 were inoculated into 96-well plates containing low-glucose DEME with 15% fetal bovine serum, and divided into seven groups. Groups 1-3 were cultured in the experimental supernatants of 3, 5, 7 culture days, and groups 4-6 were cultured in the control supernatants of 3, 5, 7 culture days, respectively. The remaining group acted as the negative control with no supernatant. Thereafter, cell counting kit-8 was used to detect cell proliferation, and RT-PCR was used to measure expression of Bcl-2 and Bax at 3 days of culture. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) No obvious particle was found on the smooth and even surface of the fiber members in the experimental and control groups. There was no significant difference in fiber diameter, contact angle and tensile strength between the two kinds of fiber membranes. (2) The results of cell counting kit-8 showed that compared with the negative control group, the supernatant released from the control group had no effect on the MG-63 proliferation at different time points, while the supernatant released from the experimental group could inhibit the MG-63 proliferation at different time points (P<0.05), and the inhibitory effect became more and more obvious with the prolongation of release time. (3) RT-PCR findings showed that compared with the control group, the supernatant released from the experimental group could increase Bax mRNA expression and decrease Bcl-2 mRNA expression at the same time point. To conclude, the PLA electrospun fiber membranes carrying gemcitabine hydrochloride can sustainably inhibit MG-63 proliferation and promote cell apoptosis.
