Objective To summarize the classification and surgical treatment of double or above disruptions of the superior shoulder suspensory complex(SSSC)retrospectively.Methods From June 2006to March 2010,26 consecutive patients with double or above disruptions of the SSSC were treated and entered in the study,including 18 males and 8 females with an average age of 42 years(range,16-80).All patients received surgical treatment,these included clavicle fracture and scapular neck fracture in 9 cases (type Ⅰ),distal clavicle fracture or dislocation and coracoclavicular ligament and acromioclavicular joint injury in 10(type Ⅱ),distal clavicle fracture and other injuries in the SSSC in 7(type Ⅲ).The duration from injury to surgery was 6.4 days(range,3-10).Scapular neck fracture and scapular area dishes fracture were fixed with reconstructive plate and canulated screws,acromial fracture was treated with reconstructive plate and canulated screws,clavicle fracture was fixed with reconstructive plate or hook plate,coracoid fracture was fixed with canulated screw.All patients were treated with primary repair for ligament injuries.The surgery effect was assessed with Rowe and Constan-Murley systems after the fractures reunion.Results All patients were successfully followed up,and the average time was 18.7 months(range,12-32).Fractures were healed with an average of 8.2 weeks(range,6-12 weeks).There was no inferior shoulder knocking syndrome after surgery.Patients all felt shoulder in a stable status.Two patients appeared deltoid muscle power decline,3 appeared shoulder fatigue and aching pain.The average score was 89.7(range,71-97)according to the Rowe system.Eighteen cases were grade as excellent,5 as good,and 3 as fair.The average score was 92.4(range,70-100)according to the Constant-Murley system.Sixteen cases were grade as excellent,6 as good,and 4 as fair.Conclusion Double or above disruptions of the SSSC can be classified into three types,and surgical treatment with constructive plate and canulated screws for them is a good option.

Objective To evaluate the effect of electro-acupuncture (EA) at Zusanli and Feishu on endotoxin shock-induced acute lung injury in rabbits.Methods Sixty healthy male New Zealand white rabbits aged 2 months weighing 1.5-2.0 kg were randomly divided into 6 groups (n =10 each):group sham operation (group S); group zinc protoporphyrin-Ⅸ (ZnPP-Ⅸ) (group Z); group lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (group L); group LPS + EA (group EL) ; group LPS + sham EA (group SEL) and group LPS + EA + ZnPP-Ⅸ (group ELZ).The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 10％ chloral hydrate 400 mg/kg and tracheostomized.The animals kept spontaneous breathing.Right internal carotid artery was cannulated for BP monitoring.Ear vein was cannulated for drug administration.LPS 5 mg/kg was injected iv in groups L,EL,SEL,ELZ.Endotoxin shock was confirmed by decrease in BP by 20 ％ of the baseline value and PaO2/FiO2 ≤ 300.ZnPP-Ⅸ (heme oxygenase (HO-1 ) inhibitor)10μmol/kg was injected intraperitoneal at 2 h after LPS injection in groups Z and ELZ.Bilateral 15 min EA stimulation of Zusanli and Feishu ( according to atlas of animal acu-points) was performed once a day for 5 days before LPS administration in groups EL and ELZ.The animals were sacrificed by blood-letting at 6 h after LPS administration.The lungs were removed for microscopic examination (0 =no injury,4 =most severe injury),detection of alveolar epithelial cell apoptosis (by TUNEL) and determination of HO-1 protein and mRNA expression.Results LPS significantly increased lung injury scores,alveolar epithelial cell apoptosis index (the number of apoptotic cells/total cells) and HO-1 protein and mRNA expression.EA significantly attenuated lung injury and alveolar epithelial cell apoptosis induced by LPS and further increased the expression of HO-1 protein and mRNA in group EL as compared with group L.The protective effects of EA was counteracted by ZnPP- Ⅸ in group ELZ.Conclusion EA at Zusanli and Feishu can attenuate endotoxin shock-induced lung injury by up-regulation of HO-1 expression and inhibiting alveolar epithelial cell apoptosis in the lung.

This study was aimed to compare the efficacy of gastric banding (GB), Roux en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) and biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) in the treatment of rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Ani-mal models of T2DM were induced by streptozotocin (STZ) injection and high-sugar-fat diets. A total of 70 T2DM rats were randomly allocated into the GB group (G group, n = 20), RYGBP group (R group, n = 20), BPD group ( B group , n = 20 ) , and the sham operation group ( S group , n = 10 ) . The fasting blood glucose ( BG ) , triglyceride ( TG ) , total cholesterol ( TC ) and insulin ( INS ) content were determined before and 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 8 , 16 weeks after operation. The insulin sensitivity index (ISI) was calculated. The mortality and complications were ob-served in each group. The results showed that the fasting weight of the GB group, RYGBP group and BPD group were (324.4 ± 22.5) g, (338.9 ± 17.5) g, (333.3 ± 28.4) g, respectively. The BG content was (12.44 ± 1.29) mmol/L, (9.70 ± 0.81) mmol/L, (11.93 ± 2.39) mmol/L, respectively. The TC content was (2.32 ± 0.45) mmol/L, (2.22 ± 0.79) mmol/L, (2.13 ± 0.31) mmol/L, respectively. The TG content was (1.38 ± 0.32) mmol/L, (1.16± 0.41) mmol/L, (1.23 ± 0.35) mmol/L, respectively. The ISI were (-6.38 ± 0.29), (-6.67 ± 0.24), (-6.65 ±0.23), respectively. And the INS content of the RYGBP group were (69.43 ± 18.73) mU/L. There were signifi-cant differences between before and after operation on the 16th week ( P < 0 . 05 , P < 0 . 01 ) . The mortality rate was 5% in the GB group, 20% in the RYGBP group, and 35% in the BPD group. It was concluded that the GB, RYGBP and BPD are effective in reducing blood glucose and blood lipids in the treatment of rat with T2DM. The treatment effect is obvious in the improvement of insulin resistance ( IR ) .

Objective To compare the efficiency of explants adherent after enzymatic pre-digestion and traditional typeⅡ?collagenase digestion methods for culturing human nucleus pulposus cells from degenerated intervertebral discs.Methods Human nucleus pulposus tissues collected from patients'degenerated intervertebral discs were divided into Groups A and B.In Group A,the nucleus pulposus tissues were cultured using explants adherent method directly after 0.025 ％ typeⅡ?collagenase digestion for 30 minutes.In Group B,the tissues were firstly digested with 0.025 ％ typeⅡ?collagenase for five hours,and then underwent filtration,centrifugation and inoculation successively Success rate and primary cell fusion time of the two culture methods were compared.Cell morphology and expressions of sex determining region Y-box 9(Sox-9),collagenⅡ?and aggrecan were observed by HE staining,toluidine blue staining and immunofluorescence cell staining.Results There was no significant difference in the successful culture rate between the two groups(P＞0.05).However,the average fusion time of primary passage in Group A was significantly shorter than that in Group B(P＜0.01).In Group A,the nucleus pulposus cells could be stained as azure by toluidine blue and immunofluorescence cell staining showed positive expressions of Sox-9,collagenⅡ?and aggrecan.Conclusions Compared with traditional typeⅡ?collagenase digestion,explants adherent method after typeⅡ?collagenase pre-digestion for the culture of human nucleus pulposus cells from degenerative intervertebral discs has a high success rate and obtains a large number of cells in a short time.Meanwhile,the cells have strong expressions of Sox-9,collagenⅡ?and aggrecan.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of tuina therapy for primary insomnia.Methods:Nine Chinese and English databases were searched from the inception to May 2017 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) studying tuina therapy for insomnia.The enrolled articles were all RCTs with tuina as the monotherapy or major therapy in the experiment group,with clear diagnostic criteria for primary insomnia well recognized worldwide or in China,and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQ I) as one of the outcome measures.Two researchers evaluated the risk of bias and quality of the enrolled studies by following Cochrane Handbook version 5.1.0.The meta-analysis was performed by RevMan version 5.3.Results:Eleven studies were included with a total of 1 076 participants.The Western medication adopted in the control groups were benzodiazepine receptor agonists.The studies were all assessed as high risk of bias for blinding since blinding method was unable to be performed due to the specificity of tuina therapy;no study reported the support of fund or potential interest conflict,so they were all rated unclear for selective reporting.The meta-analysis showed that compared with other traditional Chinese medicine therapies,tuina worked more effectively in reducing the PSQI score (MD=-4.11＜0,95％ confidence interval (CI)-6.01 to-2.22,P＜0.0001);compared with oral administration of Western medication,tuina showed more significant efficacy in reducing the PSQI score (MD=-3.42＜0,95％CI-5.19 to-1.66,P＜0.0001).Subgroup analysis showed that head tuina alone showed no significant difference compared with oral administration of Western medication regarding the change of PSQI score (MD=-4.19＜0,95％CI-8.87 to 0.50,P＞0.05);a combination of head and back tuina could more effectively reduce the PSQI score compared with oral administration of Western medication (MD=-2.08＜0,95％CI-3.09 to-1.06,P＜0.0001).Conclusion:Tuina can produce more significant efficacy in treating primary insomnia compared with other traditional Chinese medicine therapies and oral administration of Western medication,especially the combination of head and back tuina.

Objective To evaluate the role of protein kinase Ca (PKCα) in electroacupuncture (EA)-induced reduction of acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by endotoxic shock,and the relationship with nuclear factor E2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase-1 Nrf2/HO-1 pathway in rabbits.Methods Eighty heahhy male New Zealand white rabbits,aged 2 months,weighing 1.5-2.0 kg,were randomly divided into 8 groups (n=10 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),group AKI,specific PKCα inhibitor chelerythrine + AKI group (group CHA),chelerythrine group (group Che),dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) group (group D),EA at acupoints + AKI group (group EA),EA at non-acupoints + AKI group (group SEA),and EA at acupoints + chelerythrine + AKI group (group CEA).Bilateral 30 min EA (disperse-dense wave,wave length 0.2-0.6 ms,frequency 2/15 Hz,intensity 1-2 mA) stimulation of Zusanli and Shenshu acupoints was performed once a day for 4 days before establishment of the model and during the process of establishment of the model in EA and CEA groups.In group SEA,EA was performed at the points 0.5 cm lateral to the acupoints of Zusanli and Shenshu with the same parameters.The animals were anesthetized with iv 20％ urethane 5 ml/kg,tracheostomized and kept spontaneous breathing.Lipopolysaccharide 5 mg/kg (in 2 ml of normal saline) was injected via the auricular vein to establish the model of endotoxic shock-induced AKI in AKI,CHA,EA,SEA and CEA groups,while the equal volume of normal saline was given in S,Che and D groups.At 30 min before establishment of the model,chelerythrine 5 mg/kg (in 0.5 ml of 1％ DMSO) was injected intravenously in CHA and CEA groups,the equal volume of chelerythrine was given in Che group,while the equal volume of DMSO was given in group D.At 6 h after lipopolysaccharide or normal saline injection,blood samples were taken from the internal carotid artery for determination of serum urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) concentrations.The rabbits were then sacrificed by exsanguinations.The kidney specimens were removed for microscopic examination of pathologic changes which were scored and for determination of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities,malondialdehyde (MDA) contents,and expression of PKCα protein and HO-1 protein,and expression of Nrf2 in nucleoprotein and total protein.Results Compared with group S,the serum BUN and Cr concentrations were significantly increased,MDA contents were increased,the activities of SOD were decreased,the kidney injury scores were increased,and the expression of PKCα protein,HO-1 protein,and Nrf2 in nucleoprotein and total protein was up-regulated in AKI,CHA,EA,SEA and CEA groups.Compared with group AKI,the serum BUN and Cr concentrations were significantly decreased,MDA contents were decreased,the activities of SOD were increased,the kidney injury scores were decreased,and the expression of PKCα protein,HO-1 protein,and Nrf2 in nucleoprotein and total protein was up-regulated in group EA,and the serum BUN and Cr concentrations were significantly increased,MDA contents were increased,the activities of SOD were decreased,the kidney injury scores were increased,and the expression of PKCα protein,HO-1 protein,and Nrf2 in nucleoprotein and total protein was down-regulated in CHA and CEA groups.The serum BUN and Cr concentrations were significantly higher,MDA contents were higher,the activities of SOD were lower,the kidney injury scores were higher,and the expression of PKCα protein,HO-1 protein,and Nrf2 in nucleoprotein and total protein was lower in group CEA than in group EA,and in CHA group than in CEA group.Conclusion PKCα mediates reduction of endotoxic shock-induced AKI by EA of Zusanli and Shenshu acupoints in rabbits,and the mechanism may be related to activation of Nrf2/HO-1.

Objective To evaluate the clinical results of operative treatments for the complex posterior tibial plateau fractures via posterior approach. Methods Eleven cases with complex posterior tibial plateau fracture from June 2008 through June 2010 were reviewed retrospectively. There were 7 males and 4females, with age from 33 years to 60 years (average, 47.8 years). According to AO classification, there were 41-B2.2.4 type in 2 cases, 41-B3.1.2 type in 3, 41-B3.3.2 type in 3, 41-B3.1.2 type combined 41-B3.3.2 type in 2, 41-C3.3 type in 1. Carlson posterior lateral approach were used in 5 cases, posterior medial approach were used in 3 cases, and posterior medial and/or lateral approach combined with anterior approach were used in 3 cases. All fractures were fixed with plates. Autogenous ilium grafts were used if necessary.Results All cases were followed up. The average follow-up time was 1.6 years (range, 3-24 months). At the final follow-up visit, bone union was obtained in all cases. The mean Rasmussen score was 16.7 (range, 15-18), and the mean HSS was 86.2 (range, 75-96). The postoperative knee range of motion were 0°-135°, 0°-130° and -10°-125° in 5 cases with posterior lateral plateau fractures, 3 cases with posterior medial plateau fractures and 3 cases with anterior and posterior plateau and intercondylar fractures respectively. There was no vascular and nerve injuries. Loosing or breaking of hardware's was not found. Conclusion The Carlson posterior lateral and/or medial approach is preferred for the complex posterior plateau fractures, with the advantages of direct reduction and stabilization.

Placentation,which is critical for maternal-fetal exchange of nutrients and gases,is a complicated process comprising stepwise vasculogenesis and angiogenesis.Hypoxia caused by impairedtrophoblast invasion may cause various angiogenic abnormalities in human placenta.The Notchl signaling pathway plays an important role in the regulation of angiogenesis.The angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) under normal/hypoxic conditions and the mRNA/protein level of Notchl/Dell4/Jaggedl were investigated in this study.The effects of DAPT/JAG-1 on the migration of HUVECs were also assessed by cell wound healing assay,so as to discover the possible role of notchl signaling pathway in the angiogenesis of human placenta.The results showed that angiogenic ability of HUVECs was seriously reduced under hypoxic conditions.The mRNA and protein levels of Notchl/Dell4/Jaggedl were decreased in the hypoxic group compared to the control one.In addition,the migration capability of HUVECs was significantly obstructed when treated with DAPT and under hopoxic condition,but promoted when treated with JAG-1.The above results demonstrate that hypoxia downregulates the angiogenesis in human placenta via Notch 1 signaling pathway.
