Objective To evaluation of curative effect of Yiqi-Wenshen decoction combined with salmon calcitonin subcutaneous injection for the patients with postoperative bone atrophy after calcaneal fracture.Methods According to the inclusion criteria, 120 patients with calcaneal fracture were randomly divided into 2 groups, 60 in each group. The control group received the subcutaneous injection of salmon calcitonin, and the combined group received the control group treatment plus Yiqi-Wenshen decoction. Both groups were treated for 6 weeks. The X-ray was used to detecte the local bone density of limbs, and the foot function scores of ankle function and the changes of clinical symptoms and signs before and after treatment were observed.Results After treatment, joint pain (2.8 ± 1.1vs. 3.6 ± 1.1,t=4.129), tenderness (1.0 ± 0.5vs. 1.4 ± 0.7,t=3.297), the color change of (1.5 ± 0.8vs. 2.0 ± 0.6,t=3.117) score in the combined group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The degree of swelling (112.5 ± 11.8 cm3vs. 122.5 ± 13.6 cm3,t=3.816) in the combined group was significantly lower than that in control group (P<0.05). The bone mineral density (0.762 ± 0.020 g/cm2vs. 0.722 ± 0.023 g/cm2,t=3.803,P<0.05) in the combined group was significantly higher than that in the control group. The effect rate of the combined group was 90% (54/60), and the control group was 70%. There was significant difference between 2 groups (χ2=7.500,P=0.006). The effect rate of ankle joint function of the combined group was 83.3% (50/60), and the control group was 70% (42/60). There was significant difference between 2 groups (χ2=4.444,P=0.035).Conclusions The Yiqi-Wenshen decoction combined with subcutaneous injection of salmon calcitonin could relieve the pain, swelling and other symptoms of the patients with bone atrophy after calcaneal fractures, and could benefit the recovery of ankle joint function.

Objective To improve the recognition of various CT appearances of hepatoblastoma(HB) and evaluate the role of CT in diagnosis. Method In a total of 24 cases, abdominal scan was performed. In 12 of them contrast enhanced CT was available. The CT manifestions of the 24 HB cases were retrospectively analyzed and correlated with clinical pathological findings. Results Fourteen tumors involved the right lobe, 4 tumors involved the left lobe,and 6 both liver lobes. One case invaded the liver diffusely.Most of HB appeared as an intrahepatic well circumscribed round or lobulated solid mass with or without pseudocapsule.Three of them manifested as multiple nodules and distributed in one or both liver lobes.Exophytic growing of tumor was seen in 7 cases. The tumor mass usually exhibited inhomogeneous density and heterogeneous enhancement,some associated with reticular and curvilinear density.Peripheral rim enhancement was present in 3 cases.Calcified foci were found in 6 cases.The hepatic parenchyma outside the tumor was normal in all cases.Two subdiaphragmatic and greater omentum tumor infiltrations could not be found on CT scan. Rare findings included tumor thrombus in one case in IVC, lymphnode metastasis in one case. Conclusion The various CT patterns described in this study are helpful in recognizing and evaluating the prognosis of HB.CT scan could acurately localize and characterize the mass,while not always correct in tumor staging.

BACKGROUND: There is no study addressing transplantation of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of spinocerebellar ataxia.OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical effect of human umbilical cord stem cells transplantation in the treatment of autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxias. METHODS: Spinocerebellar ataxias patients selected from Stem Transplantation Center of the 455 Hospital of Chinese PLA were treated with umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells transplantation via intrathecal injection. The number of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was 107 per transplantation, once per week, for 4 weeks.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Both the total score of the International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale and Activities of Daily Living score were significantly decreased at 1 month after transplantation compared with before treatment (P < 0.05). The nerve function was significantly improved and the total effective rate was up to 16.7%. Experimental findings indicate that, transplantation of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells via intrathecal injection is a feasible and effective treatment to ameliorate the clinical efficacy of spinocerebellar ataxias patients and improve their quality of life.
