Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of glenoid labral tear combined with rotator cuff tear so as to provide references for arthroscopic surgery.Methods A total of 50 patients (28 males and 22 females)at mean age of 45 years old(ranged from 30 to 58 years)were enrolled in the study.Clinical data including the mechanism and time of injury,symptoms,results of physical examination,X-ray and MRI were collected.Location and degree of rotator cuff and glenoid labral tears found during arthroscopic surgery were also recorded.There were 37 patients with anterior labral tears,eight with superior labrum tears and five with posterior labral tears.The rotator cuff tear was slight in 36 patients,moderate in 10 and severe in three.One patient had extra-large tear.Anterior part of rotator cuff was found torn in 21 patients,middle part in 16 and posterior part in 13.MRI of glenoid labral tears manifested disappearance of triangular appearance and enlarged joint capsule.MRI manifestations of rotator cuff tear were high signal in torn part and continuity loss.Results All patients were followed up for average 36 months(6-72 months),which showed satisfactory results.UCLA score was(15±3)points preoperatively and(32±3)points postoperatively(P＜0.01).Conclusions More attention should be paid to glenoid labral tear to avoid misdiagnosis and delayed treatment,for it is usually combined with rotator cuff tear.Location of rotator cuff tear has some relation to the range of glenoid labral tear,ie,the larger range of glenoid labral tear may induce more posterior part of rotator cuff torn.

Objective To assess clinical outcomes of FasT-Fix technique in repair of meniscal injury under arthroscope. Methods A total of 36 cases (37 knees) of mensical tears were repaired with FasF-Fix technique. There were 26 males and 10 females, at mean age of 26 years (14-51 years). Eighteen meniscal tears were located in zone Ⅱ, 16 in zone Ⅲ and 3 in zone Ⅳ. The average length of the tear was 2.2 cm (1.0-3.0 cm). Results There were no any signs of early complications after sur gery. All cases were followed up For 6-26 months (mean 16 months). According to Lysholm scoring scale system ,the average score of operated knees was increased from preoperative 44.13+12.56 to postopera tive 80.24+12.67 (P<0.01). After operation, all the patients could move the knee joint at normal range, except for one case who had a limitation of 20 degree flexion, with no pain or interlocking symptom. All cases returned to original work and/or could continue sports game. Conclusion The FasT-Fix technique is a simple, safe and effective method for repair of properly selected meniscal tears.

Objective To explore techniques of endoscopic ultrasonography for nasal cavity and its accuracy. Methods Under the guidance of nasal endoscope, ultrasonography of nasal cavity was performed by using a 10 MHz,3. 3 mm section probes. Thirty nasal cavities of 15 normal canine were scanned under general anesthesia. The sink experiment was used to decrease the influence of the ultraphonic artifact and to correct the data error. Results In gray scale ultrasound,most mucous and submucous tissue within nasal cavity were hypoechoic, the septal cartilage was echoless, and the cartilaginous membrane of the septal cartilage showed a consecutive hyperechogenicity line. The average thickness of the nasal septum and the average thickness of the inboard mucous and submuous of the inferior turbinate were (1. 87 0. 33)mm and (2.96 0.36) mm respectively. The rich blood flowing signals were observed by CDFI in soft tissues mentioned above. Pulsed Doppler of the nasal septum showed a venous waveform with the velocity ranging from 3. 1 to 13.8 cm/s and the arterial waveform with the peak systolic velocity of 10 to 54.8 cm/s, resistance index ranged from 0. 31 to 0. 57. Pulsed Doppler of the inferior turbinate showed a venous waveform with the velocity ranging from 4. 0 to 17. 3 cm/s and the arterial waveform with the peak systolic velocity of 7.5 to 79.6 cm/s, resistance index ranged from 0.25 to 0.62. Conclusions With correction factor,nasal endoscopic ultrasonography was accurate in localizing structures with clear images and high resolution. It could be a new imaging modality of diagnosing nasal mucosal and submucosal disorderes.

Objective To explore the efficacy of Krackow locking loop technique combined with the modified Kessler suture technique in the treatment of acute closed Achilles tendon rupture.Methods From January 2020 to January 2022,162 cases of acute closed Achilles tendon rupture were treated with Krackow locking loop technique combined with the modified Kessler suture technique.The patients were treated with the same postoperative rehabilitation plans.The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society(AOFAS)hindfoot score and Achilles Tendon Total Rupture Score(ATRS)were collected to evaluate the functions.Results The operation time was 24-40 min(mean,31.9±4.6 min).All incisions healed in one stage without infection or sural nerve injury.Complications occurred in 2 patients,including 1 case of deep venous thrombosis and 1 case of trauma-related re-rupture.The recovery time of ankle flexion and extension motion was4-12 weeks(mean,7.6±1.9 weeks),the recovery time of single-legged heel rise height on the affected side was 10-18 weeks(mean,13.3±1.8 weeks),and the recovery time of fast walking or jogging was 14-26 weeks(mean,19.1±1.8 weeks).The 162 patients was followed up for 14-25 months(mean,19.0 months).The AOFAS hindfoot score increased from(54.4±4.4)points preoperatively to(98.0±4.0)points at the last follow-up(t =-104.402,P =0.000).The ATRS score increased from(52.0±8.3)points preoperatively to(91.2±2.4)points at the last follow-up(t =-62.823,P = 0.000).Conclusions For young and middle-aged patients with acute closed Achilles tendon rupture,Krackow locking loop technique combined with the modified Kessler suture technique can achieve good clinical outcomes.Early functional exercise is required to return to work and life.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of antihypertensive and lipid-regulating Chinese patent medicine combined with conventional Western medicine in the treatment of hypertension with dyslipidemia. To carry out the evidence synthesis of clinical research and provide evidence-based evidence support for clinical decision-making. MethodThe databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI），Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform （WF），VIP，SinoMed，Embase，PubMed，Web of Science （WOS），and the Cochrane Library were searched for randomized controlled trials （RCT） of all listed Chinese patent medicines in the treatment of hypertension with dyslipidemia from the establishment of the databases to April 15，2023. The literature was screened and extracted，and the risk of bias tool 2.0 （RoB2） was used to assess the quality and risk of bias of the methodology. Revman 5.4.1 software was used to analyze the outcome indicators. Grading of Recommendations Assessment，Development and Evaluation （GRADE） was applied to assess the quality of evidence formed by clinical research data. The inclusion and recommendation of Chinese patent medicines in the National Drug Catalogue for Basic Medical Insurance，Work-related Injury Insurance and Maternity Insurance （2022） and domestic guidelines and consensus were searched to form a bubble chart. ResultA total of 15 studies were included. The evaluation of the methodological quality of each study showed that the risk of bias stemmed from the lack of blinding and allocation concealment，and low sample size. The comprehensive analysis of clinical studies showed that Dengzhan Shengmai capsules combined with rosuvastatin and amlodipine besylate，Yindan Xinnaotong capsules combined with simvastatin and levamlodipine tablets，Xiaoshuan Tongluo capsules combined with nifedipine controlled release tablets and pravastatin sodium tablets，Xinshubao capsules combined with atorvastatin calcium tablets and irbesartan，Wenyading capsules combined with enalapril，and Jiangzhining tablets combined with conventional Western medicines were all superior to conventional Western medicines used in the control group in improving systolic blood pressure （SBP），diastolic blood pressure （DBP），cholesterol （TC），triglyceride （TG），low density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C），and high density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C）. There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups. The GRADE evaluation of the main outcome indicators showed that the evidence quality of SBP and incidence of adverse reactions was graded as B，that of DBP as C，and that of total TC，TG，LDL-C，and HDL-C as D. The evaluation of Chinese patent medicines covered by medical insurance and recommended by guidelines and consensus showed that Yindan Xinnaotong soft capsules，Dengzhan Shengmai capsules and Xiaoshuan Tongluo capsules belonged to class B drugs of medical insurance，and were recommended for 7，6 and 3 times in the guidelines and consensus，respectively. ConclusionCompared with simple medicine treatment，Chinese patent medicine combined with conventional Western medicine has more advantages in improving blood pressure and blood lipid，and shows higher safety. Among them，Yindan Xinnaotong soft capsules，Dengzhan Shengmai capsules and Xiaoshuan Tongluo capsules have stronger clinical applicability and economy. All the trials included in this article adhered to the principle of randomization and reported the outcome measures. However，the quality of evidence in related clinical studies was low. In terms of trial design，large-sample，multi-center，blinded randomized controlled trials based on the consolidated standards of reporting trials （CONSORT） statement are still needed for comprehensive trial designs and reporting，to further improve the GRADE quality evaluation and guideline formulation under the guidance of evidence-based medicine，so as to provide higher quality evidence-based research evidence for clinical decision-making.

ObjectiveTo systematically collect， analyze， and evaluate the randomized controlled trials （RCT） of Chinese patent medicine combined with western medicine in the treatment of hypertension， map the evidence， and provide reference for the future clinical research and formulation of guidelines and policies. MethodThe relevant articles were retrieved from China Biology Medicine disc， China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI）， VIP， Wanfang Data， PubMed， Embase， and Cochrane Library with the time interval from inception to December 31， 2022. The RCT of Chinese patent medicines combined with western medicine in the treatment of hypertension were included. The research characteristics and methodological quality were analyzed and evaluated. ResultA total of 330 RCTs of treating hypertension with Chinese patent medicines combined with Western medicine were included in this study， all of which were published in Chinese. These RCTs involved 88 Chinese patent medicines and 37 788 patients， and 46% of RCT had the sample size ≥100 patients. Eighty-seven percent of RCT showed the study period within 3 months. All the interventions in the RCTs were Chinese patent medicine + western medicine vs western medicine. Among the evaluation indicators， blood pressure， response rate， TCM syndrome score， endothelial cell function， and safety were mainly concerned. In terms of methodological quality， most articles did not mention the generation of random sequences， allocation concealment， or blinding method. The blinding evaluation of outcomes showed low risks of bias， and there was insufficient information to judge whether there was selective bias or other bias. ConclusionThere were many Chinese patent medicines used in combination with western medicine in the treatment of hypertension， and they were mainly taken orally. The existing RCT had problems such as small sample size， unclear clinical value positioning， imperfect design failing to reflect the value of Chinese patent medicines， unreasonable measurement indicators， and non-standard measurement methods. Future research should solve the above problems， improve the research quality， value， and authenticity， and enhance the reliability and extension of evidence.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the quality of research and evidence related to antihypertensive Chinese patent medicines combined with western medicines for the treatment of hypertension， synthesize and update the evidence， form expert consensus， and provide evidence for clinical decision-making. MethodThe databases of China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI）， WanFang Data Knowledge Service Platform （WanFang）， Vip Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database （VIP）， Chinese Biomedical Literature Service System （Sinomed）， National Library of Medicine （PubMed）， Cochrane Library， Web of Science， and US Clinical Trials Registry were searched for randomized controlled trials of antihypertensive Chinese medicine combined with western medicine for the treatment of hypertension from database construction to July 31， 2022. The quality of the literature was evaluated using the bias risk assessment tool in Cochrane Handbook 6.3. Evidence synthesis of main outcome indicators was performed using R software. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment， Development， and Evaluation profiler （GRADEprofiler） 3.6 was employed to evaluate the quality of evidence. Expert consensus was formed based on the Delphi method after two rounds of voting. Result64 pieces of literature were included， and the results of literature quality evaluation and risk of bias showed that 70.31% （45/64） of the studies indicated some risks， and 29.69% （19/64） indicated high risks. Compared with conventional western medicines， the combination of Chinese patent medicines with western medicines can significantly lower systolic pressure （SBP） and diastolic pressure （DBP）， increase the effective rate of antihypertensive， reduce the incidence of adverse reactions， endothelin-1， and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores. Egger's test showed that Songling Xuemaikang capsules reduced SBP and DBP. Tianma Gouteng granules reduced SBP and DBP and increased the effective rate of antihypertensive， and Xinmaitong capsules reduced SBP and increased the effective rate of antihypertensive， without significant publication bias. Songling Xuemaikang capsules increased the effective rate of antihypertensive， and Xinmaitong capsules decreased DBP， with significant publication bias. The results of the GRADE evidence quality evaluation showed that most evidence was at grades B and C. Finally， four strong recommendations and 14 weak recommendations were formed. ConclusionCompared with conventional western medicines for the treatment of hypertension， antihypertensive Chinese patent medicines combined with western medicines have advantages in reducing blood pressure and improving drug use safety， but they are mostly weak recommendations in terms of efficacy， and more high-quality evidence is needed.
