[Objective]To evaluate and compare the of the ideals surgical technique for intertrochanteric fractue between DHS and arthroplasty.[Method]A total of 40 gerontal patients with the different surgical treatment from January 1999 to May 2004 were chosen. The mean age of the patients was 82 (75～90).Among the patients, 23 patients by DHS,17 by arthroplasty.[Result]The duration of follow-up averaged 1.5 years.The time in bed were 3 and 1 weeks due to DHS and arthroplasty, the full weight-bearing time were 10 and 6 weeks.[Conclusion]arthroplasty is ideal choice for the un-stable intertrochanteric fractue.

Objective To investigate the influence of Zhuanggu granule on the concentration of IL-1β and TN-F-α in knee cavity of patients with knee degenerated osteoarthritis. Methods A total of eighty patients with knee degenerated osteoarthritis were recruited into a Zhuanggu granule group (30 cases), a Sulphuric acid Glucosamine group (15 cases) and a Sodium Hyaluronate group (15 cases) according to Doll grouping method. After all groups were treated for 4 weeks, the changes of concentration of IL-1β and TNF-α was detected before and after the therapy Results After the treatment, the concentration of IL-1β and TNF-α in Zhuangu granule group was significantly lower than the other two groups (Sodium Hyaluronate and sulphuric Glucosamine group). Conclusion Zhuangu Granule could influence the concentration of IL-1β and TNF-α in patients of knee degenerated osteoarthritis.

Objective: To investigate effect of Zhuanggu Granula medicated serum on proliferation and differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells(BMSCs) in vitro. Methods: Isolated BMSCs were cultured in vitro. The cells were treated with Zhuanggu Granula medicated serum, and the blank serum as the control group. The proliferation of cells was detected by MTT assay, the macroscopic histology, HE staining and immunohistoc-hemical examinations. Results: Zhuanggu Granula medicated serum effectively stimulated BMSCs proliferation (P
