Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of sinew-regulating bone-setting manipulations plus exercise therapy in treating chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP). Methods: A total of 65 CNLBP patients were divided into two groups by the random number table method. Thirty-three cases in the treatment group were intervened by sinew-regulating bone-setting manipulations plus exercise therapy; 32 cases in the control group were intervened by medium-frequency electrotherapy plus exercise therapy. Before and after treatment, visual analog scale (VAS), dynamic and static muscle endurance of low back, median frequency (MF) of surface electromyography (sEMG) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were used to evaluate the low back function. The therapeutic efficacy was estimated after treatment. Results: The two groups each had 2 dropouts during the study. The total effective rate was 90.3% in the treatment group versus 66.7% in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the VAS score, dynamic and static muscle endurance of low back, MF of sEMG and ODI score all changed significantly in both groups (all P<0.05); all the items in the treatment group were significantly different from those in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Sinew-regulating bone-setting manipulations plus exercise therapy can effectively release pain in CNLBP patients, increase muscle endurance of the low back and improve the quality of life, and its therapeutic efficacy is more significant than that of medium-frequency electrotherapy plus exercise therapy.

Objective: To observe the therapeutic effect of sinew-regulating bone-setting manipulations for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) model rabbits and its impacts on the chondrocyte apoptosis rate and the levels of interleukin (IL)-1β and nitric oxide (NO). Methods: According to the random number table method, 30 New Zealand white rabbits were divided into a normal group (n=9) and a modeling group (n=21). Rabbits in the modeling group were used to establish KOA models with the modified Hulth method. At the 8th week, three rabbits were sacrificed to verify the model and the remaining 18 rabbits were randomly divided into a model group (n=9) and an intervention group (n=9). Rabbits in the normal group and model group were bred routinely without any intervention. Rabbits in the intervention group were treated with the sinew-regulating bone-setting manipulations, 10 min/time, once every other day for a total of 20 times. The Lequesne MG knee function rating was used to evaluate the behavioral differences of the rabbits in each group. The Pelletier score was used to evaluate the general changes of the rabbits. The Mankin score was used to evaluate the pathology of knee cartilages. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and nitrate reductase methods were used to determine the levels of IL-1β and NO in serum and synovial fluid of each group, respectively. In situ terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick and labeling method was used to determine the apoptosis of chondrocytes in each group. Results: Compared with the normal group, the scores of Lequesne MG, Pelletier and Mankin, and the levels of IL-1β and NO in the model group were increased (P<0.05), which indirectly indicated the success of the model. Compared with the model group, the scores of Lequesne MG, Pelletier and Mankin, IL-1β and NO levels, and chondrocyte apoptosis rate of the intervention group were decreased, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: The sinew-regulating bone-setting manipulations can reduce the levels of IL-1β, NO, and chondrocyte apoptosis rate, and delay the articular cartilage degeneration, therefore, having a good therapeutic effect on KOA.

Objective Parotidectomy and superficial parotidectomy are traditional surgical treatment to the malignant parotid gland tumour although they have many defects.The aim of this study was to analyze the feasibility of individualized treatment to patient according to tumor`s size and TNM stage. Methods Thirty three patients with low grade malignant parotid gland tumours from Dec 2005 to Dec 2010 were recruited in the present study.All the patients received the territorial surgical resection firstly.Then, 9 cases re-ceived the expanded territorial surgical resection (1 case had recurrent probability, accepted adjuvant radiotherapy).Sixteen cases un-derwent parotidectomy with complete tumor resection ( 2 case had envelope invasion, accepted adjuvant radiotherapy) .Eight cases ac-cepted adjuvant radiotherapy(4 cases on T1 and T2 stage preserved facial nerve although the nerves adhering to tumors, and other 4 ca-ses on T4a stage accepted facial nerve excision ) . Results Follow up ranged from 3.5 to 8.5 years and no recurrences were docu-mented.9 patients who accepted territorial surgical resection showed fine facial symmetry.8 cases of them without adjuvant radiotherapy had good salivary secretion.Nine cases of other 24 patients showed temporary facial nerve injury and recovered within 1 to 4 months. Four cases with facial nerve excision showed permanental facial paralysis. Conclusion To protect the function of parotid gland to the greatest extent, the small low grade malignant parotid gland tumors without facial nerve invasion could have territorial surgical resection. Combined territorial surgical resection with postoperative adjuvant radiation therapy is useful to avoid the tumors recurrence and en-croachment of facial nerve to protect the facial nerve function.

Medical Journal of Chinese People's Liberation Army 2020;45(7):709-713
[Abstract] Objective To observe the effects of the adipocyte hormone leptin on GABA content and receptor expression in hypothalamus of mice with sleep deprivation, and explore the possible mechanisms. Methods Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups (8 each): control group, sleep deprivation (SD) group and leptin supplement (L-SD) group. Mice in control group were set up in a water environment without sleep deprivation, mice in SD group were set up in a "modified multi-platform water environment" to establish a sleep deprivation model, and mice in L-SD group were given leptin 1.3 mg/kg intraperitoneally twice daily in conjunction with sleep deprivation. Seven days after sleep deprivation, the general conditions of mice were observed, body weight was measured and hypothalamic tissues and plasma specimens were collected. ELISA was used to detect the plasma leptin levels, hypothalamic γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate (Glu) contents. Western blotting was performed to detect the expression levels of GABA key glutamate decarboxylase 67 (GAD67) and GABAA receptor α1 subtype protein (GABAARα1). Results Compared with control group, the weight of mice in SD group significantly reduced [(22.03±0.42) g vs. (17.75±0.75) g, P<0.01], while the weight of mice in L-SD group [(15.10±0.38) g] significantly reduced compared with that in control group and SD group (P<0.01). The mice in SD group lost their smooth hair, were particularly sensitive to light and sound, and were slightly manic and aggressive; Compared with control group, the plasma leptin level in mice of SD group significantly reduced [(483.81±21.72) ng/ml vs. (359.14±16.69) ng/ml, P<0.01], and the hypothalamic GABA level significantly reduced [(152.37±8.14) ng/g vs. (111.31±2.96) ng/g, P<0.05]. GABA levels of mice hypothalamus in L-SD group [(132.19±3.38) ng/g] were significantly higher than that in SD group [(111.31±2.96) ng/g, P<0.05], but no statistical difference was when compared with that in control group (P>0.05). The hypothalamic Glu levels were obviously higher in SD group [(686.56±10.01) ng/g] and L-SD group [(668.64+9.93) ng/g] than that in control group [(577.11±16.36) ng/g] (P<0.05), but no statistical significance was found when compared between SD group and L-SD group (P>0.05). The expressive levels of GAD67 and GABAARα1 protein in the hypothalamus of mice in SD group [0.68±0.06, 0.69±0.07] were significantly lower than that in control group (1.09±0.13, 0.99±0.07) (P<0.05); While the expressive levels of GAD67 and GABAARα1 proteins in the hypothalamus of mice in L-SD group (1.39±0.19 and 1.33±0.14, respectively) were significantly higher than those in SD group and control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Leptin can up-regulate the expression of the key GABA synthase GAD67, increase the content of GABA and the expression of GABAARα1 protein in hypothalamus of sleep-deprived mice, which may be an important mechanism of leptin affecting sleep.
