Objective:To observe the effect of point-toward-point needling at points on the low back regions on residual back pain after percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP),thoracolumbar function and quality of life (QOL) in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF).Methods:A total of 72 patients with OVCF and residual back pain after PKP were included and allocated into a treatment group (n=36) and a control group (n=36) by the random number table.Cases in the control group received salmon calcitonin injection (miacalcic),for 1 mL each time,once a day,and oral intake of calcium carbonate D3 pill,600 mg each time,once a day,whereas cases in the treatment group received point-toward-point needling at points on the low back regions and electroacupuncture (EA) for 30 min each time,once a day and 6 times a week on the basis of the treatment in the control group.Treatment in both groups lasted for 2 weeks.Therapeutic efficacy indicators including visual analog scale (VAS),Oswestry disability index (ODI) and Barthel index (BI) were evaluated before and after treatment and at follow-up visit (1 month after treatment).Results:The total effective rate was 94.4％ and 88.9％ in the treatment group after treatment and at the follow-up visit,respectively,higher than 77.8％ and 69.4％ in the control group,and the between-group differences were statistically significant (both P＜0.05).After treatment and at the follow-up visit,the VAS and ODI scores decreased,and BI scores increased in both groups,and the intra-group differences were statistically significant (all P＜0.05).After treatment and at the follow-up visit,between-group differences of VAS,ODI and BI scores were statistically significant (all P＜0.05).Conclusion:On the basis of conventional medication treatment,point-toward-point needling at points on the low back regions has a good therapeutic effect in relieving residual back pain after PKP,improving thoracolumbar function and QOL,better than conventional medication treatment alone.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy ofToutongning Formula in the treatment of migraine. Methods Totally 100 cases of migraine patients (wind disturbance, blood stasis syndrome) were randomly divided into two groups. Patients in the experimental group were treated withToutongning Formula orally, and patients in the control group were treated with flunarizine capsules 5 mg orally, for 30 d. The scores of number, degree, duration and accompanying symptoms of episodes before and after treatment were observed, the total scores were calculated, and adverse reactions were recorded, to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety.Results Clinical total efficiency was 92.0% (46/50) in experimental group and 64.0% (32/50) in the control group; the incidence rate of adverse reactions was 20.0% (10/50) in experimental group and 80.0% (40/50) in the control group; there was statistical significant differences in efficacy and adverse reactions between the two groups (P<0.05). After the treatment, the differences in the scores of number, degree, duration and accompanying symptoms of episodes, and in the total scores between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was statistical significance in the different value of above indexes before and after treatment between the two groups (P<0.05).ConclusionToutongning Formula can not only improve symptoms significantly in patients with migraine (wind disturbance, blood stasis syndrome), but also reduce adverse reactions, with more safety and efficacy than flunarizine capsules.

BACKGROUND: Preplant diagnosis and rigorous implant strategy based on multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) imaging can improve success rate of mini-implants as anchorage. Effective application of imaging information in implant anchorage requires reliable tools and methods.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the accuracy of the radiographic and tunnel-type surgical templates assisting implant anchorage surgery and evaluate the clinical significance.METHODS: The transparent radiographic templates were made with occlusal rest to assist MSCT to scan two pigs' skulls locatively. After designed the implant anchorage angles in MSCT images accurately, we made the tunnel-type surgical template by angle data. A total of 32 miniscrews were implanted by surgical template, and the two pigs skulls were rescanned by MSCT. After dissected the pig alveolar process, the MSCT preoperative planning angles, the MSCT postoperative measurement angles and the measurement angles of anatomic bone samples were analyzed statistically. RESULT AND CONCLUSION: The 32 miniscrews were implanted successfully. They did not damage dental roots or surrounding important structures. Compared MSCT preoperative planning angles with MSCT postoperative measurement angles and anatomic bone samples measurement angles, there were no significant differences on axial sections or cross-sections and the r concordance correlations were very good. Results show that the radiographic and the tunnel-type surgical templates are accurate and reliable for operation and will help to improve the success rate of implant anchorage.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic and therapeutic methods for liver injury.Methods The clinical data of 80 patients with liver injury were retrospectively analyzed.Results The liver injury was srede Ⅰ in 12 patients.grade Ⅱ in 25 patients,grade Ⅲ in 20 patients,srede Ⅳ in 14 patients,and grade V in 9 cases.16 patients were not treated with operation,24 patients were treated with hepatic artery ligation,and 3 patients were treated with plugging.75 patients were cured,and 5 patients died.Conclusion Liver injury should be clearly diagnosed as early as possible,correct therapeutic methods should be selected according to the state of the injury,and operative manner should be reasonably selected according to intraoperative conditions.The treatment of complications and postoperative protection to the function of important organs should be paid attention to.

Stem cell is an ideal target cell with the ability of self renewing and multi differentiation, and can proliferate and keep multi differentiation potential when it is suitably cultivated in vitro. Marrow stem cell can differentiate into cardiomyocytes and vascular structures through transplanting into damaged heart of experimental animal, and ameliorate the function of the ischemia heart.

Stem cells are a lineage with capacities of self-renewal and multipotential differentiation. They are exactly regulated by microenvironment where they live. With the understanding of stem cells biology, researchers noticed that stem cells have many similar biology characters with tumor cells, and thought that tumors were likely derived from stem cells, and gave a concept that there were tumor stem cells in tumor tissues.
