Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2003;1(2):31-32
Tianshu (ST 25), Zhongwan ( CV 12), Qihai (CV 6), Zusanli ( ST 36) and etc were selected to treat chronic diarrhea. The curative effect between ginger moxibustion and acupuncture was compared. The effective rate of two groups was respectively 93% and 82%.

Objective To summarize the experiences of diagnosis and treatment for blunt tracheobronchial injuries ( BTI) . Methods From January 1993 to December 2013, 15 patients were diagnosed with BTI and underwent surgical treatment at our hospital.Mean age of the 15 patients (11 men and 4 women) was 26.4 ±4.5 years.All the patients had a history of trauma, which included crushing injury in 8 cases, deceleration injury in 4, fall injury in 2, and traction-type injury in 1.BTI loca-tion: right main bronchus in eight cases, left main bronchus in four cases, upper trachea in one case, lower trachea with the right main bronchus in one case, and cervico-thoracic trachea with left main bronchus in one case .Thoracic computerized tomo-graphy was performed in 15 patients, which showed pneumothorax, subcutaneous emphysema, pneumomediastinum or falling lung sign of Kumpe.Preoperative fiberoptic bronchoscopy examination was performed in 15 cases, which included bronchial atresia in 9 cases, bronchial transection in 3 cases, laceration of trachea in 2 cases, and tracheal transection in 1 case.An e-lective surgical procedure after BTI was performed in 10 cases, and emergency surgery was performed in 5 cases.Tracheo-bron-chial laceration repair were performed in 2 cases, tracheal end-to-end reanastomosis in 1 case, and bronchial end-to-end re-anastomosis in 12 cases.Results There was no operative death, and one case was complicated with anastomotic stenosis.The average operation time was 205.7 ±41.3 minutes, and the average blood loss was 268.4 ±109 ml.The postoperative hospi-tal stay was 11.6 ±3.7 days on average.Follow-up was completed in 15 patients (mean, 29.3 months), and 15 patients were all symptomatic improvement .Conclusion The most common site of BTI was the right main bronchus near Carina parts .Al-though the diagnosis and treatment are often delayed , our findings indicate that chest CT and endoscopic findings could be used for the diagnosis of BTI.Surgical resection and reconstruction are effective methods to repair BTI successfully even many months after they occur.Often they do not require the resection of pulmonary parenchyma .

Objective:To evaluate collared and bipolar hemiarthroplasty combined with medial femoral calcar reconstruction in the treatment of senile patients with osteoporotic unstable intertrochanteric fracture.Methods:The data of 28 senile patients with unstable femoral intertrochanteric fracture were retrospectively analyzed who had been admitted to Department of Orthopedics, The First Affiliated Hospital to Zhejiang University of Chinese Medicine from March 2014 to February 2020. They were 8 males and 20 females, aged from 75 to 99 years (average, 81.5 years). All the fractures were low violence injuries due to falls. By the Evans-Jensen classification, there were 2 cases of type Ⅲ, 5 cases of type Ⅳ and 21 cases of type Ⅴ. All patients were osteoporotic, with a BMD T-score ranging from -4.5 to -2.0. Surgery was performed 2 to 6 days after injury (3.8 days on average). Corail collared femoral stems and bipolar ball heads produced by DePuy company were selected for implantation during surgery. Their fractures were reduced and fixated by titanium wire bundling system or bifilar winding wire bundles. The femoral calcar reconstruction was accomplished by inserting the beak-shaped distal part of the head-neck fracture fragment into the femoral medullary cavity together with the medial side of the stem just under the collar and impacting it to a tight position.Results:The average operation time for this group of patients was 62 min (from 50 to 85 min) and the average intraoperative blood loss 170 mL (from 110 to 320 mL). All the 28 patients were followed up for 10 to 71 months (average, 46 months). Their Harris hip scores averaged 92 points (from 89 to 96 points) at 6 months after operation. Two patients developed intermuscular venous thrombosis in the calf after operation. During follow-up, none of the patients had such complications as deep iliac femoral vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, incision infection, or deep prosthesis infection. At the last follow-up, their Harris hip scores averaged 88 points (from 82 to 96 points).Conclusion:For some senile patients with osteoporotic unstable intertrochanteric fracture, collared and bipolar hemiarthroplasty combined with medial femoral calcar reconstruction can achieve fine therapeutic efficacy.
