Objective To compare the outcomes between radiofrequency modification and augmentation reconstruction in the treatment for partial anterior cruciate ligament( ACL) tears. Methods Fifty?four patients with partial ACL tears were divided into radiofrequency modification group( n=16) and augmentation reconstruc?tion group( n=38) according to different treatment methods. Minimum follow?up was 2 years. Patients were eval?uated just after the injury and at the latest follow?up with several parameters, including the international knee documentation committee( IKDC) score,Lysholm knee score,Tegner activity rating,range of motion ( ROM) and the kneelax arthrometer. Results The kneelax was (4. 4±0. 9) mm of preoperative, (5. 0±1. 5) mm of post?operative in radiofrequency modification group,the difference was no signifiacnt( t=1. 372,P=0. 183);in aug?mentation reconstruction group was (4. 7±0. 8) mm and (1. 7±1. 0) mm respectively,the knee stability was in?crease significantly postoperative;knee stability was significantly improved in the augmentation reconstruction group compared with the radiofrequency modification group( t=9. 228,P=0. 000) . In radiofrequency modifica?tion group,ROM,Lysholm score and Tegner score were improved significantly between the results pre?and post?operatively((105. 4±22. 5)° vs. (123. 5±11. 4)°,t=59. 189,P=0. 000;65(51,90)) points vs. 86(59,100) points,Z=3. 852,P=0. 000;3(1,5) points vs. 6(1,9) points,Z=4. 637,P=0. 000). In augmentation recon? struction group, ROM,Lysholm score and Tegner score were improved significantly between the results pre?and post?operatively((99. 4±21. 9)° vs. (125. 3±10. 9)°,t=6. 527,P=0. 000;(65(51,89) points vs. (85 (59, 100) points,Z=4. 427,P=0. 000;3(1,5) points vs. 6(1,9) points,Z=3. 961,P=0. 000). Conclusion Augmentation reconstruction technique is more beneficial to the knee stability than radiofrequency modification in the treatment for the partial ACL tears.

Objective To observe the effect of catgut implantation at acupoint on treating cerebrovascular epilepsy and discuss the therapeutic mechanism. Methods 58 patients were divided into an observation group and a control group. The control group was treated with sodium valproate, and the observation group was treated with catgut implantation at acupoint on the basis of the control group.Epilepsy scoring, sodium valproate adverse reactions, the change of blood concentrations of sodium valproate and curative effect evaluation and so on were observed before and after the treatment. Results The basic control and excellent rate in the observation group were 16.7%and 73.3%, better than the control group of 10.7%and 53.6% respectively. The epilepsy scoring and sodium valproate adverse reactions after treatment in the observation group were superior to the control group [observation group is(5.05±1.5),(5.09±1.53),control group is(6.40±1.74),(10.85±1.91),P<0.05]. The number of patients with blood concentrations of sodium valproate in range 50-100 mg/L after treatment was increased in the observation group(Z=2.07, P=0.038). Conclusion Catgut implantation at acupoint combined sodium valproate was more effective than sodium valproate in treating cerebrovascular epilepsy, which can obviously alleviate the adverse reaction of drugs and increase blood concentrations of sodium valproate.

Objective To investigate the effects of simvastatin on the expression of lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) or Glucose in U937 macrophages, and explore the role of NF-κB in modulating of LOX-1 expression. Methods U937 macrophages were treated with PMA to induce differentiation, which were co-cultured with 50 mg/L ox-LDL or/and 25 mmol/L glucose. Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) and simvastatin (1 μmol/L or 10 μmol/L) were used to treat cells. The expression of LOX-1 protein and NF-κB ac- tivity were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technology. The expression of LOX-1 mRNA was measured by RT-PCR. Results The expression of LOX-1 was up regulated by ox-LDL, glucose and combination of both. The inhibitor of NF-κB PDTC suppressed this up-regulation. Simvastatin suppressed the expression of LOX-1 induced by ox-LDL, and showed a significant effect in the higher concentration. There was no significant effect of simvastatin on the expression of LOX-1 induced by glucose. The variation of NF-κB activity was similar to that of LOX-1 expression. Conclusion Simvas- tatin suppressed the expression of LOX-1 induced by ox-LDL, while no significant effect on the expression of LOX-1 in- duced by glucose. The expression and regulation of LOX-1 were related with NF-κB pathway.
