OBJECTIVETo evaluate clinical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction under arthroscopy and repair of the injured posteromedial complex structure of the knee joint in the treatment of posterolateral knee dislocation with multiple ligament injuries.

METHODSFrom March 2008 to August 2012,22 patients (16 males and 6 females, ranging in age from 20 to 53 years old, with an average of 30.5 years old) with posterolateral dislocation of the knee were treated with primary reconstruction of ACL and PCL, combined with the repair of injuries in the posteromedial complex and soft-tissue. Eight patients had injuries caused by sports,5 patients road accidents and 9 patients falling down. The ACL was reconstructed using the gracilis and semitendinosus tendons. The PCL was reconstructed using LARS artificial ligaments (14 cases), or gracilis and semitendinosus tendons (8 cases). Suture repair was performed in 17 patients with posteromedial ligament injuries,and self-semitendinosus strengthening operations were performed in 5 patients. Continuouspassive montion (CPM) and active exercises were executed after operation at early stage. The IKDC and Lysholm system were used to evaluate therapeutic effects.

RESULTSAll the patients were regularly followed up, and the duration ranged from 11 to 56 months (averaged, 39 months). According to the IKDC scale,9 patients got a grade A result, 10 got a grade B result, and 3 got a grade C result. The IKDC subject score was 89.6±3.1 and the Lysholm scores was 90.7±1.8 at the latest follow-up, which were both better than those before operation.

CONCLUSIONReconstructing the ACL and PCL and repairing injured posteromedial complex of the knee followed by an active rehabilitation is an effective method to treat posterolateral knee dislocation.

The study evaluates the lipolysis rate and extent of type Ⅲ lipid formulations using testosterone undecanoate as a model drug after digestion with in vitro lipolysis model, and studies the digestive regularity with optical microscope and electrical conductivity. The results showed that for testosterone undecanoate type Ⅲ lipid formulations with castor oil as oil phase and Transcutol HP as latent solvent, the lipolysis rate and extent were increased with the increase of oil phase proportion and were decreased with excessive proportion of surfactant, in which can see liquid crystal phase during lipolysis process. The lipolysis rate of type ⅢB lipid preparations with different surfactant were ordered as Labrasol > Tween 80 > Cremophor EL, but the rate of type ⅢA is different in quick digestion phase and slow digestion phase. The lipolysis extent of type Ⅲ lipid formulations with different surfactant were ordered as Cremophor EL > Tween 80 > Labrasol. These may be related to the digestive effect of pancreatic lipase on different surfactants. This study implied that the lipolysis rate and extent of type Ⅲ lipid formulations are greatly influenced by the proportion of oil phase and surfactant, and the surfactant structure. These factors will affect the in vivo digestion and should be taken into account when screening type Ⅲ lipid formulations.

Existing reporting guidelines for systematic reviews/Meta-analysis (SRs/MAs) cannot meet the requirements of clinical practice and scientific research, so based on evidence, methods and thoughts on establishing reporting guidelines for TCM-featured acupuncture systematic reviews/Meta-analysis were proposed. Through literature analysis, according to evidence-based principle, preliminary ideas on methodology of establishing reporting guidelines for TCM-featured acupuncture systematic reviews /Meta-analysis were proposed. With consensus as one main research method, it was proposed that in the consensus that was selected and established by experts, the pro- portion of Chinese scholars should be increased to fully declare the opinions of Chinese acupuncturists, and by verification of practice and application, the reporting guidelines for TCM-featured acupuncture systematic reviews/Meta-analysis can be finally made.

Objective To explore the interaction characters of fluoride and aluminum by analyzing the changes of bone metabolism in mice. Methods Kunming mice were randomly divided into nine groups according to the factorial experiment, design of two factors and three levels. The animals in different groups were fed with various doses of fluoride(NaF, 0,50,150 mg/L) and/or aluminum(AlCl3, 0,200,600 mg/L) in drinking water for 24 weeks. Serum calcium, phosphor, magnesium, alkaline phosphatase, osteoealine, parathyroid, and urinary calcium and phosphor were tested. Results We found interaetians of fluoride and aluminum with serum calcium, osteoealine and urine calcium(F=17.370,4.399,9.448, P<0.01), but not with serum phosphor, magnesium, alkaline phosphatase, parathyroid or urinary phospbor(F=0.416,0.415,1.921,1.362, 1.630, P 0.05). The serum levels of calcium and osteoealine in high fluoride group were (1.13±0.27)mmol/L and (6.56±5.74)μg/L, respectively, which were lower than in the control group[ (1.82±0.37)mmol/L and (23.45±15.40)laeJL, respectively], but the levels were elevated to (1.76±0.36)mmol/L and (10.57±4.28)μg/L when high fluoride was combined with low aluminum, and further elevated to (2.10±0.51)mmol/L and (15.73±3.15)μg/L when high fluoride was combined with high aluminum. The urinary calcium level in low fluoride group [ (6.24±2.61)retool/retool Cr] was higher than that in the control group[ (3.12±2.04)retool/retool Cr], but it was decreased in low fluoride and aluminum groups[ (0.81±0.44), (1.23± 0.41)mmol/mmoi Cr, respectively]. On the other hand, the levels of serum ealeium and osteocaline in high aluminum group were (1.07±0.68)mmol/L and (7.21±5.22)μg/L, elevated to (1.47±0.18)mmol/L and (10.98±4.35) μg/L when low fluoride was combined wth high aluminum, and further elevated to (2.10±0.51)mmol/L and (15.73± 3.15)μg/L when high fluoride was.combined with high aluminum, respectively, and the combined effects showed the same trend of higher aluminum. Conclusions Aluminum antagonized fluoride-induced effects, whereas fluoride aggravated the effects caused by aluminum in this experimental conditions. The biomarkers of bone formation and mineralization were suppressed in the combined groups, so the combined effects could interfere with the course of bone turnover by inhabiting bone formation and mineralization, leading to the disorder of bone metabolism eventually.

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the optimal time for decompression in a 24-hour lasting porcine model.Methods After baseline data were recorded,24 pigs were randomly allocated into three groups as follows:one SAP-alone group,and two SAP + ACS groups (decompression at 6 and 12 hours,respectively).We used a N2 pneumoperitoneum to increase the intra-abdominal pressure to 25 mmHg and retrograde intra-ductal infusion of sodium taurocholate to induce severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Systemic hemodynamic profiles,urine output,systemic oxygenation,and serum biochemical parameters of the animals were obtained.Results After induction of ACS,the hemodynamics and oxygenation of the study animals deteriorated significantly.The survival time of the 12-hour group was significantly shortened (P =0.008 vs.6 hours).Early decompression (6 h) restored systemic hemodynamics,oxygenation,organ function,and inflammatory intensity to a level comparable to that of the SAP-alone group.In contrast,animals in 12-hour group developed more severe hemodynamic suppression,oxygenation and organ dysfunction and inflammatory process.For instance,the cardiac output levels in the three groups were 2.70 ±0.50 for the SAP group,2.75 ±0.48 for the 6 hour-group and 2.19 ±0.43 for the 12 hour-group.Conclusion Early decompression could significantly reduce the mortality in a porcine model of SAP incorporating ACS,and also improve systemic hemodynamics,organ function and inflammatory intensity.

Objective To observe the effect of electroacupuncture on onset time and effectiveness of Paroxetine for mild or moderate depression patients and on the scores of Hamilton depression rating scale for depression(HAMD) and self-rating depression scale(SDS). Methods Fifty-five patients with mild or moderate depression were randomly divided into A group( Paroxetine group,29 patients) and B group (Electroacupuncture combining with Paroxetine group,26 patients). Therapeutic periods for the two groups were 6 weeks. HAMD and SDS were used to evaluate the efficacy before the research and after treatment on 1 week,2 weeks,4 weeks,6 weeks.Results HAMD scores and SDS scores for A group were significant difference after 2 weeks treatment compared with the beginning of the research (P＜ 0.05 ) ;HAMD scores and SDS scores for B group were significant difference after 1 week treatment compared with the beginning of the research(P＜0. 05 ). Total effective rate of HAMD for A group was 71.4% ,total effective rate of SDS for A group was 75% ,total effective rate of HAMD for B group was 88% ,total effective rate of SDS for B group was 84%. The total effective rate between the two groups ordered by the individual chi-square test was significant difference( X2 = 4. 1790, P= 0. 0408). Conclusion Electroacupuncture can shorten the onset time and increase the effectiveness of paroxetine for mild or moderate depression patients.
