BACKGROUND: Donor complications have been detected following autologous tendon transplantation for posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Although artificial tendon development and tissue-engineered tendon have achieved great progresses, there are some issues in clinical application. Since 1980's, allogenic tendon transplantation has aroused increasing attention. OBJECTIVE: To explore the selection of allogenic tendon materials and the effect of their application on reconstructing posterior cruciate ligament. METHODS: A total of 17 patients with posterior cruciate ligament injury of knee joint were treated with cryopreserved allogenic tendon by Tibial-inlay technique. During the operation, two tracts of tendons soaked in gentamicin saline for 15 minutes were conduplicated, and one end of the tendon was cancellous bone screw and fixed to the tibia attachment point of posterior cruciate ligament, and the other end was introduced into the joint through retention suture. The posterior joint capsule was repaired. The patient was placed at supine position, and the knee was flexed for 90°. The other end of the graft was introduced to femoral tunnel, and anterior drawer was tensed, and fixed by screw. RESULTS AND CONCLUSlN: The preoperative posterior drawer test of patients was >2+, including 7 cases of 3+ and 6 of 4+. The postoperative posterior drawer test was 0 in 4 cases, 1+ in 8 cases, 2+ in 4 cases and 3+ in 1 case, suggesting the posterior movement of the knee joint was significantly improved. Lysholm scores of patients were (48.5±4.3) points before operation and (88.3±5.4) points after operation. Results show that cryopreserved allogenic tendon by Tibial-inlay technique could restored function of posterior cruciate ligament with a favorable effect.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical efficacy on constipation predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C) treated with acupuncture for regulating the mind and strengthening the spleen and the impacts on the quality of life in the patients.
METHODSSixty patients of IBS-C were randomized into two groups. In the acupuncture group (30 cases), acupuncture was applied to Tianshu (ST 25), Zusanli (ST 36), Shangjuxu (ST 37), Taichong (LR 3), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Yintang (GV 29) and Baihui (GV 20), once a day, 5 treatments a week and 4 weeks treatment as one session. In the western medication group (30 cases), lactulose oral solution was prescribed, 15 mL each time, three times a day, 4 weeks treatment as one session. The symptom grade scale and the quality of life scale (IBS-QOL) were adopted to observe the changes in clinical symptoms and quality of life before treatment, after treatment and 2-month follow-up after treatment in the patients of the two groups separately.
RESULTS(1) Clinical symptom score: the difference in the symptom score at each time point was significant statistically in intra-group comparison (P < 0.01). In 1 week, 4 weeks of treatment and 2 months after treatment, the clinical symptom scores in the acupuncture group were lower than those in the western medication group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). (2) IBS-QOL score after treatment was improved as compared with that before treatment in the two groups (P < 0.01). The improvement of IBS-QOL at 2 months after treatment in the acupuncture group was apparently superior to the western medication group (P < 0.05). (3) The total effective rate was 90.0% (27/30) in the acupuncture group and was 83.3% (25/30) in the western medication group. The overall efficacy in the acupuncture group was better than that in the western medication group (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONAcupuncture for regulating the mind and strengthening the spleen significantly relieves the clinical symptoms of IBS-C and improves QOL of patients. The total efficacy is superior to lactulose oral solution and presents a certain of long-term efficacy.
