Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2016;14(2):126-130
Objective:To observe the clinical effects of acupuncture at Jiaji (EX-B 2) points plus tuina manipulation for thoracic facet joint disorder, and get new clinical evidence for treatment of thoracic facet joint disorder. Methods:Totally 106 patients with thoracic facet joint disorder were randomly allocated into an observation group and a control group based on the random number table. Patients in the control group were treated by tuina manipulation, while those in the observation group were treated by acupuncture at Jiaji (EX-B 2) points before tuina manipulation. Patients in the two groups were treated once a day. The improvements of signs and symptoms and the efficacy were observed after 3 treatments. Results:After treatment, there were intra-group statistical differences in scores of 8 signs and symptoms in both groups (P<0.01); the score of each item in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and there was statistical significance in the inter-group difference (P<0.05). The cure rate of the observation group was 50.9%, versus 26.4% in the control group, and there was a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion:In treating thoracic facet joint disorder, acupuncture plus tuina manipulation can restore the biomechanical balance of thoracic vertebrae, fully maximized the combined effect, and significantly improve the clinical efficacy.

Objective To explore the relationship of professional stress,social support and somatic symptoms of sub-health status of Ningbo normal senior school teachers. Methods 128 normal senior school teachers were selected and investigated by professional stress scale,social support scale and somatic symptoms of sub-health status scale, and canonical correlation analysis was used. Results The canonical correlation coefficient were 0.563, 0.471( P <0.01) with the existence of social support variable. The somatic symptoms of sub-health status would be greater with the rise of their professional stress and the decline of their social support. The canonical correlation coefficient was 0.497( P <0.01) with the elimination of social support variable. The factor loading of "examination pressure","professional burden" and "career expectation" in canonical variable ξ add to 0.801,0.855,0.726 respectively. The factor loading of "feeling of fatigue","sleep disorders" in canonical variable η add to 0.774,0.859 respectively. Conclusion The social support have adjustment function between the professional stress and somatic symptoms of sub-health status.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathologic features, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of primary gastric inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor ( IMT) . Methods Four cases of gastric IMTs were studied by clinicopathologic analysis, immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization, and the related literature was reviewed. Results In four cases there are two males and two females, age range from 21 to 51 years old, and tumor size ranged from 1. 5 to 6. 5 cm in the greatest dimension. Histologically, these tumors were composed of varied spindle cells and chronic inflammatory cells, in a myxoid or hyalinized stroma. Occasionally, there were calcifica-tion and ossification areas. Most of the spindle cells had bland appearance and a minority of the tumor cells showed mild atypia. One to two mitotic figures were recognized in 10 high power fields ( HPFs) in 1 to 2 patients. Smooth muscle actin staining was observed in all tumors and ALK staining observed in two tumors. One tumor focally expressed CD34. S-100, desmin, CD68, CD117 and DOG1 was negative in all IMTs. The patients were followed up from 24 to 66 months, and none of them had tumor relapsed or metastasis. Conclu-sions Primary gastric IMTs have an intermediate behavior, and a few cases have malignant potential. It should be distinguished from other spindle cell lesions similar to IMT.

Objective:To explore the early learning curve of OrthoPilot navigation assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:Data of 40 consecutive cases of OrthoPilot navigation assisted TKA completed by the same surgical team in our department were retrospectively analyzed. According to the operation order, 40 cases were divided into the original phase group (the first 20 cases) and the subsequent phase group (the second 20 cases). In original phase group, the average age was 69.85±6.86 years with mean body mass index 24.10±2.88 kg/m 2, preoperative HSS score 48.80±5.33, preoperative knee ROM 87.05°±11.02° and preoperative alignment deviation of 7.40°±5.59°. In subsequent phase group, the average age was 66.65±7.92 years with mean body mass index 22.85±3.15 kg/m 2, preoperative HSS score 49.00±5.47, preoperative knee ROM 85.80°±11.65° and preoperative alignment deviation of 8.22°±5.21°. Perioperative data such as operative duration, incision length, hemoglobin drop and postoperative hospital stay, radiographic outcomes including hip-knee-ankle angle (HKAA), mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (mLDFA), mechanical medial proximal tibial angle (mMPTA), sagittal femoral component angle (sFCA), sagittal tibial component angle (sTCA), joint line convergence angle (JLCA), and functional scores were compared between the two groups. Results:All 40 cases were followed up for 24-33 months (mean, 27.38± 2.73 months). No severe postoperative complications such as infection and loosening occurred during the follow-up. The mean operative duration was 112.35±25.49 min in original phase group versus 82.10±10.96 min in subsequent phase group ( P< 0.05). The durations of tibial cutting was 11.95±3.27 min in original phase group versus 7.35±2.23 min in subsequent phase group ( P< 0.05); the femoral planning + cutting time was 20.95±6.91 min in original phase group versus 16.60±4.78 min in subsequent phase group, and trial + prosthesis implantation time was 39.65±7.72 min in original phase group versus 25.10±5.72 min in subsequent phase group,which was significantly higher in original phase group. There was no significant difference in other perioperative data such as incision length, hemoglobin drop and postoperative hospital stay between the two groups. As for radiographic outcomes, there was no statistical difference between the two groups in the postoperative angular deviation of HKAA (0.70°±0.80° vs. 0.80°±1.06°), mLDFA (0.89°±0.91° vs. 1.00°±0.86°), mMPTA (0.77°±0.53° vs. 0.76°±1.03°), sFCA (0.73°±0.48° vs. 0.87°±1.06°), sTCA (0.95°±0.58° vs. 1.16°±1.14°) and JLCA (0.27°±0.25° vs. 0.39°±0.18°). In original phase group, the HSS scores preoperative and 3 days postoperative were 48.80±5.33 and 60.05±5.10 respectively, and those in subsequent phase were 49.00±5.47 and 60.75±4.47 respectively, and both groups showed satisfactory functional recovery. There was no significant difference in HSS scores at all follow-up time points between two phases, as well as ROM (113.20°±9.82° vs. 113.50°±12.44°) and FJS-12 scores (78.00°±10.98° vs. 76.65°±10.29°) at 2 years postoperatively. Conclusion:In this study, we described a time-related early learning curve for OrthoPilot navigation-assisted TKA, in which the operative duration tended to be shorter after the first 20 cases. However, benefiting from good operative accuracy and repeatability, satisfactory radiographic and functional outcomes can be obtained in early stage of the learning curve.
