Curcumae Longae Rhizoma (CLR) is a commonly used drug in clinic, it is widely used as an important drug of activating blood and Qi in ancient prescription. But the records of the original plant of CLR are not consistent in modern literature: Wenyujin Concisa Rhizoma (WCR) was recorded as the main plants of CLR originally, and then it was excluded. The historical evolution of WCR used as medicine and the similarities and differences among WCR, CLR, and Curcuma Rhizoma (CR) in efficacy were tracked down through the records in ancient and modern literatures. It showed that from the materia medica in Tang and Song Dynasty, WCR was recorded as one of the original plants of CLR which was continually used until the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. In modern literature, WCR was also firstly recorded as one of the original plants of CLR. The longitudinal section of WCR was different from CR in efficacy, but identical with CLR exactly. So that, the means of classifying WCR as a part of the original plant of CLR not only conform to the ancient and modern literatures, but also in accordance with the rules of drug efficacy and the actual clinical application. So this method is beneficial to clinical application of ancient prescriptions.

Objective To observe the effect of electroacupuncture on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) mRNA and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) protein in brain tissue of rats with focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion.Methods The focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion model was established with filament occlusion. 90 rats were randomly divided into control group (n=6), model group (n=42) and electroacupuncture group (n=42). They were observed 2 h, 12 h, 24 h, 3 d, 7 d, 14 d, 21 d after ischemia/reperfusion, 6 rats in each points. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of VEGFR-2 mRNA. Immunohistology method was used to detect the expression of BDNF protein. Results The expression of VEGFR-2 mRNA was higher in the electroacupuncture group than in the model group 12 h, 24 h, 3 d after reperfusion (P<0.05). The expression of BDNF protein in the hippocampus increased 2 h (P<0.05), reached peak 24 h (P<0.01) and still higher 3 d (P<0.05) in the electroacupuncture group than in the model group after reperfusion. Conclusion Electroacupuncture can upregulate the expression of VEGFR-2 mRNA and BDNF protein in brain tissue of rats with focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion. Neuro-angiogenic factor is possibly the molecular basis of coordinated interaction of the nervous and vascular system.

OBJECTIVETo explore causes of shoulder pain and propose prevention measures in treating acromioclavicular joint dislocation.

METHODSFrom January 2005 to January 2013, 86 patients with acromioclavicular joint dislocation (Tossy III) were treated with hook plate fixation, and were divided into two groups. Bsaed on recovery of shoulder function mostly, the patients who suffered from rest pain, motion pain were named as shoulder pain group, while the patients without pain were named as painless group. In shoulder pain group, there were 21 cases including 15 males and and 6 females ranging the age from 22 to 62 years old with an average of (40.6±11.2) years old. There were 8 cases were on the left side and 13 cases were on the right side. In painless group, there were 65 cases including 36 males and and 29 females ranging the age from 19 to 65 years old with an average of (40.0±11.3) years old. There were 33 cases were on the left side and 32 cases were on the right side. The time from injury to operation ranged from 3 h to 8 d with an average of 34.6 h. Shoulder function of all patients were normal before injuried. Postoperative pain, activity of daily living (ADL), range of motion, deltoid muscle strength were compared. Anteflexion,rear protraction, abduction and upthrow of shoulder joint were also compared. Postoperative complications between two groups were observed and compared.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 12 to 48 months with an average of 18.5 months. Constant-Murley score were used to evaluate clinical efficacy at the least following up, and 13 cases got an excellent results, 5 moderate, 2 good and 1 poor in shoulder pain group ; while 61 cases were obtained excellent results, 3 moderate and 1 good in painless group. There were significantly differences between two groups in Constant-Murley score and activity of shoulder joint (P<0.05). In shoulder pain group, 3 cases were disconnected, 1 case occurred stress fracture, 9 cases were subacromial impingement syndrome, 5 cases occurred subluxation, 1 case occurred plate breakage and 11 cases were acromioclavicular arthritis.

CONCLUSIONChosing individual clavicular hook plate, fulfilling anatomic reset, paying attention to the repair of articular capsule ligament, and reducing hook and bone antagonism between stress is the key point of preventing and decreasing postoperative shoulder pain.

To study the name of Wenyujin Rhizoma Concisum and Film Turmeric by literature research methods provide the basis for correct application of Cuba in modern clinical application. Wenyujin Rhizoma Concisum and Film Turmeric often called each other mutual generation and used as the same kind of medicine in the ancient prescriptions books. They were often recorded and stated as the same species of Curcumae Longae Rhizoma. Wenyujin Rhizoma Concisum and Curcumae Longae Rhizoma also often called each other mutual generation in the ancient prescriptions books and used as the same kind of medicine. Wenyujin Rhizoma Concisum was often recorded and stated under the Curcumae Longae Rhizoma articles in the ancient materia medica literatures. Ancient literatures on Wenyujin Rhizoma Concisum records were almost the same, the modern literatures on the records of the sources of Wenyujin Rhizoma Concisum were inconsistency. Inconsistency of Wenyujin Rhizoma Concisum source records in modern literatures was related to the changes of the modern records on source records about Curcumae Longae Rhizoma, Root-tuber of Aromatic Curcumae Longae Rhizoma and Zedoray. The author thinks that Wenyujin Rhizoma Concisum is the ancient Film Turmeric which referes to the same medicine as Curcumae Longae Rhizoma. The source of it just as the Curcumae Longae Rhizoma is not only one kind. Wenyujin Rhizoma Concisum and Curcumae Longae Rhizoma have been recorded as two medicines at the present, and the source of them simply referes to the original plant Curcuma wenyujin. When using ancient prescriptions, we need to understand the changes that Curcumae Longae Rhizoma and Wenyujin Rhizoma Concisum are the same in ancient but different today in order to choose medicine correctly in the clinical.

OBJECTIVETo study mechanical affect of knee joint of reasonable positioning of femoral tunnel during knee posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) double-bundle reconstruction and graft fixation after reconstruction by virtual reality interactive technology and evaluate the biomechanical response of knee after reconstruction by finite element analysis.

METHODSKnee specimens from five fresh frozen cadavers were used. Computer simulations and biomechanical experiments were used in this study. Experiments on flexion and extension movements of the knee joint were performed on specimens of fresh human knee joint. Laser three dimensional scanning was used to record and calculate the indexes of movements. Three-dimensional models of knee joint bone structure were then reconstructed on computer with the experimental data. Simulations of flexion and extension movements were carried out on the models to show the spatial positions of femur and tibia and label the attachment sites of PCL. Ten test points in the anterior,posterior, proximal, distal at the femoral attachment area of anterior and lateral bundle (ALB) and postoperior medial bundle (PMB) were selected and the central points of tibial en attachment areat anchored. The distance btween each two points of two article surface was calculated and contacted by software of Geomagic. Model was import software Ansys, adopting the tetrahedron unit a finite element model of complex tibial and femoral was set up to simulat human walking in one leg,on this condition the the joint surface force of model under weight impact load were analyzed.

RESULTSThe three-dimensional models could demonstrate the spatial positions of the bone structure of the knee in different flexions and extensions. The models could be used to measure the spatial distance between 2 points on the femoral and tibial planes by software Geomagic. There was significantly difference among the length changes of anterolateral bundle and posteromedial bundle at every fixed point with different flexion angles (P<0.05), so the fixed angle with different points. The length changes of anterior lateral bundle's A2, A1 and posterior medial bundle's B3, B1 points were (1.35±0.19) mm, (5.41±1.22) mm, (1.95±0.04) mm and (5.23±2.21) mm, respectively. The A2 and B3 points' length changes were the less, and that of the Al and B1 points were the more. It had no significant difference between the length changes of anterior lanteral bundle's A2 and A3 point (P=0.913>0.05). All of the maximal length changes of anterior lateral bundle's A2, A3 and postterior medial bundle's B3 points were less than 2 mm.

CONCLUSIONThe models of knee joint were builded through computer technology and it can be measure the lenth of cruciate ligament with software Geomagic exactly. The femoral tunnel for the PCL double-bundle reconstruction should be located as follows: ALB at the middle point of upper edge of femoral attachment site (proximal point),while PMB at the middle point of femoral attachment site (proximal point). This model provides a satisfactory method for the evaluation of the biomechanical response of knee after cruciate ligament reconstruction.
