Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of modified S-P approach without disconnecting the rectus femoris in patients with Pipkin typeⅠandⅡfractures. Methods The clinical data of 58 patients with Pipkin type Ⅰ and Ⅱfractures were retrospectively analyzed. Among the patients, 29 patients were treated with conventional S-P approach (conventional group), and 29 patients were treated with modified S-P approach (modified group). The incision length, operation time, bleeding, visual analogue score (VAS), postoperative complications and hip joint function at the final follow-up were compared between 2 groups. Results The patients of 2 groups had not incision infection, and showed primary. X-ray of 3 months after surgery showed fracture healing. There was no statistical difference in the time of follow-up between conventional group and modified group:(16.1 ± 5.2) months vs. (15.8 ± 5.6) months, P>0.05. The incision length, bleeding, VAS 3 d and 4 weeks after surgery in modified group were significantly lower than that in conventional group:(8.1 ± 0.8) cm vs. (12.3 ± 1.2) cm, (144.3 ± 16.5) ml vs. (172.4 ± 21.6) ml, (4.5 ± 1.1) scores vs. (5.9 ± 1.5) scores and (1.6 ± 0.7) scores vs. (2.4 ± 0.8) scores, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). There were no statistical differences in operation time, VAS 3 months after surgery, incidence of postoperative complications and excellent and good rate of hip joint function at the final follow-up between 2 groups (P>0.05). Conclusions The modified S-P approach without disconnecting the rectus femoris is a better method in patients with Pipkin type ⅠandⅡ fractures, and it has the advantages of revealing more clearly, minimal invasion, lower bleeding and slight postoperative pain.

Ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO), as the contrast agent of MRI, possesses two major properties: long half time in the plasma and specific binding with macrophages. Compared with gadolinium, widely-used in clinic presently, USPIO has its unique advantages in diagnosis of central nervous system diseases, though which still need further clinical verification. This article reviews the application of USPIO in MRI diagnosis of some central nervous system diseases.

Aim To study the dopaminergic neuroprotection of quercetin-3-O-sophoroside and total flavonoids derived from Poacynum hendersonni in MPTP-induced mice model of Parkinson's disease.Methods To inject MPTP intraperitoneal to C57/bl6 mouse at 30 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1) 5 days for PD model preparation, qercetin-3-O-sophoroside(25 mg·kg~(-1))and total flavonoids(250 mg·kg~(-1))were treated through intragastric administration 7 days before.Watching the mice behavior change through autonomic activities and pole test after final treatment, dopamine content in striatum was determined with fluorescence photometer.The neurons pathological change in substantia nigra(SN)was observed by pafaffin slice and immunohistochemistry staining to analyze the dopaminergic neuroprotective effects of Poacynum hendersonni.Results Treatment of quercetin-3-O-sophoroside for 7 days in advance, can improve PD mice motivation and dopamine concentration in striatum, tyrosine hydroxylase immune-reactive neurons in SN increased as well.Conclusion Quercetin-3-O-sophoroside can attenuate the impairment of MPTP in mice model of PD.

According to years of treatment experience on herpes zoster,combined with its current onset characteristics as well as modem medicine,the authors probed into the relation between liver depression and herpes zoster on the following two aspects:one was liver depression and healthy qi (immunity) ; the other was liver depression and the incidence of herpes zoster.We considered that long-term liver depression impairs healthy qi.Then herpes zoster appears because detriment of healthy qi leading to decreased immunity,reactivation and reproduction of virus.Liver depression is a significant factor for the onset of herpes zoster.

Cuiru oral liquid (COL ) for the promotion of lactation is prepared from an aqueous extract of Angelica sinensis, Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bge., Rehmbnnia glutinosa Libosch.,et al. Its formulatiou and processing were briefly desctibed, and the quality standard and stability of the finished product were studied. Results showed that the formu lation processing and stability of COL were suitable for clinical trial. Moreover, its pharmacology was briefly described.

Objective To analyze the causes and explore suitable treatments for the complica-tions induced by polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAHG) injection for augmentation rhinoplasty. Methods The causes of the complications of 52 cases who accepted PAHG injection for augmentation rhinoplas-ty were analyzed and summarized. All the patients were treated by surgical operations to remove the injected PAHG. Results The complications included infection, granuloma, skin ulceration, bad shape, pain and serious psychological stress. Each case had 1 to 4 complications. Satisfactory results were obtained after suitable treatments. Some cases had silicone or expanded polytetrafluoroethylene implant augmentation rhinoplasty at the same time or secondary to the PAHG removal. A few cases had sequelae and long time psychological stress or tend pain of nose. Conclusions The complications induced by PAHG injection for augmentation rhinoplasty are various, and may relate to the inherent character of PAHG and the anatomic features of the nasal soft tissue. Surgery can remove the PAHG as completely as possible, which is a better method to treat the complications of PAHG injection for augmentation rhinoplasty.

OBJECTIVETo study the effects of sacral nerve root electrostimulation (SNS) on the colon function and its mechanisms in rats with spinal cord injury (SCI).

METHODSOne hundred and four Wistar rats were divided into three groups: A, B and C. A group ( n = 24) was divided into three subgroups (n = 8) for studying the bioelectricity: Normal group (NG), SCI group (SCI) and SCI group with SNS(SNS); B group( n = 24) was divided into three subgroups( n = 8) for studying the colon motility: NG, SCI and SNS. C group( n = 56) were divided into three groups for studying the change of morphology and neurotransmitters(SP and VIP): NG (n = 8), SCI (n = 24), and SNS (n = 24) . In SCI and SNS, included of three subgroups: 24, 48, 72 h after spinal cord injury (n = 8).

RESULTSIn SCI group, the activity of bioelectricity in proximal and distal colon was reduced; the colon motility was lessened, and colon mucosa appeared different degree of damage; cell-cell connections between intestinal epithelial cells were destroyed. The expressions of substance P(SP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in colon were decreased obviously. SNS was found to activate the bioelectricity, promote the colon motility, improve the intestinal mucosal, and increase the expressions of SP and VIP. Conclusion: SNS can activate the peristalsis, rehabilitate the motility of denervated colon, protection of the intestinal mechanical barrier between intestinal epithelial cells and tight junction, rebuild the colon function through activating the bioelectricity and increase the expressions of SP and VIP.
