Objective:To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture combined with tuina manipulation for thoracic facet joint disorder. Methods:A total of 93 eligible cases were randomly allocated into an observation group and a control group. Patients in the observation group (n=46) were treated with acupuncture combined with tuina manipulation, whereas patients in the control group (n=47) were treated with tuina manipulation alone. The treatment was done once a day, for a total of 3 times. Therapeutic efficacies were then evaluated according to scores on signs and symptoms.
Results:After treatment, there were intra-group statistically significant differences in scores of eight signs and symptoms (all P<0.01); and the between-group differences were statistically significant in scores of eight signs and symptoms (all P<0.05). After three times of treatment, the recovery rate in the observation group was 54.4%, versus 25.4% in the control group, showing a statistical significance (P<0.05).
Conclusion:Acupuncture combined with tuina manipulation can obtain better effects than tuina manipulation alone for thoracic facet joint disorder and is therefore worth further clinical application.

Objective To retrospectively study the results of endoscopic manifestation pathology,and treatment of colonic polyps. Methods Clinical data of 121 patients diagnosed with colonic polyps and treated by endoscopy between November 2002 and September 2009 were studied. Complete colonic investigation was done by Olympus PCF240I electron endoscopy. Colonic polyp excision was done by high frequency electric coagulation. Results All patients had bloody stool with mucus for 1 week to 8 years. Ninty four(77.7%)patients had a single polyp,6(5.0%)had two polyps,21(17.3%)with multiple polyps,and 5 patients had familial polyposis coli. The size of the polyps ranged from 0.3 cm to 4 cm and the morphology of Yamada Ⅰ to Ⅳ. The pathological changes were juvenile polyps,inflammatory polyps,polypoid formation,and canalicular adenoma. Most common pathology types were Yamada Ⅳ and juvenile polyps,107 of the 121 patients(88.4%)had juvenile polyps,and one was found to have malignant transformation. 115 patients accepted high frequency electric coagulation excision under general anesthesia,without complication. Conclusions Colonic polyp is one of the common diseases in children. Children should be checked by total colonoscopy in time when they present with bloody stool,anemia,rectal polyps prolapse or intussusception. Polypectomy under endoscope is a most safe and reliable treatment method when the diagnosis is confirmed. For isolated juvenile polyp,regular recheck is not necessary after polypectomy except when bloody stool recurs. Regular follow up by colonoscope is necessary for juvenile polyp combined with adenoma and adenomatous polyps. Colonoscope is necessary at any time when bloody stool occurs. Familial polyposis coli is difficult to be treated by endoscopy,thus surgical procedure is suggested.

Objective To investigate the coupling of tibial rotation and extension-flexion motion of knee joint both before and after total knee arthroplasty. Methods Six fresh-frozen left lower limbs from cadavers were tested using a modified Oxford motor rig for the knee joint. Anatomically based multiple loadings of the quadriceps mechanism were applied (Vastus medialis: 24.5 N, Vastus intermedius/rectus femoris: 29.4 N, Vastus lateralis: 19.6 N). The tibial rotation was tracked using a custom-made laser tracking device while the tibial-femoral flexion was measured with goniometer. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) was performed using ?PFC-PS posterior cruciate ligament substituting knee system. Results Before TKA, when the knee flexed 10?, 20?, 30?, 60?, 90?, 120? and 150?, tibia rotated 5.1??2.3?, 9.3??3.3?, 10.2??4.8?,11.7??3.5?, 13.5??8.4?, 22.0??8.6? and 29.6??9.3? respectively. After TKA, tibia rotated -2.2??1.7?, -2.5??1.5?, -2.0??1.3?, 1.7??2.5?, 3.9??2.4?, 13.5??6.1? and 18.6??4.7? respectively (Tibial rotation was defined as 0? in knee extension; internal rotation as positive and external rotation as negative). Conclusion The tibial internal rotation is coincident with tibial-femoral flexion, its magnitude of tibial rotation varies in different degrees of knee flexion. The tibial internal rotatation is significant in early knee flexion(0? to 30?), then enters into a platform stage on knee bending from 30? to 90?, Once the knee bends over 90?, the tibia rotates internally markedly again, maximum internal rotation is achieved in fully flexion, probably due to relaxation of soft tissue. After TKA, in early flexion (0? to 30?) the external rotation occurs abnormally, but later on 30? to 150?, it rotates again intenally as normal.

Objective To investigate the medial-lateral tilting of patella in two different coordinate systems before and after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods Six fresh-frozen left low limbs from cadaver were tested using a modified Oxford Rig. Anatomically based multiple loading of the quadriceps mechanism was applied(Vastus medialis 24.5 N, Vastus intermedius/rectus femoris 29.4 N, Vastus lateralis 19.6 N). In a three dimensional coordinate system, patellar tilting was tracked using a custom-made Laser tracking device. The femoral trochlea was used as the other coodinate system in skyline view of patellar-femoral joint. Total knee arthroplasty was performed using PFC? posterior cruciate ligament substituting knee system. The tilting angles of patellar were measured before and after TKA. Results In three dimensional coordinate system, when knee flexed 30?,60?,90?,120?,150?, the patella titled :-3.10??2.25?,2.50??1.07?,5.46??2.60?,6.32??2.16?,-2.10??1.90? respectively before total knee arthroplasty was undertaken. After total knee arthroplasty, the patella tilted 3.24??0.35?,2.30??1.39?,1.65??1.17?,1.29??1.03?,-0.86??1.42? respectively. When femoral trochlea was taken as coordinate, the patella tilted 0??0?,0??0?,0??0?,0.24??0.35?,-3.21??1.80?; 0??0?,0??0?,0??0?,0??0?,-1.12??1.20? respectively both before and after TKA (Lateral patella tilting was defined as positive and medial patella tilting, negative). Conclusion Even the relationship between patella and femoral trochlea remains normal, the mode and magnitude of patellar tilting changes significantly after TKA. In early flexion of knee joint, patella tilts medially before TKA while it tilts laterally after TKA. After TKA, patella tilts less laterally than it does before TKA when a knee flexes from 60 to 120 degrees.

Objective To study the methods and significance of motor and sensory areas mapping by optical intrinsic signal imaging (IOSI) and neuromonitoring (IOM) during the operation on the lesions near the central sulcus. Methods Intraoperative neuromonitoring were firstly used to map the central sulcus and motor cortex in 5 patients with glioma undergoing surgery. Then, intrinsic optical signals imaging were used to locate the postcentral gyrus. According to the results of mapping, microsurgical operation was chosen for the resection of glioma and postoperative functional results were evaluated. Results All the patients acquired accurate location of central sulcus, motor cortex and somatosensory cortex. The enhanced MRI performed within 24 hours postsurgery showed total resection in 5 cases. The motor and somatosensory function of 5 patients returned to normal after 3-12 months. Conclusion Intraoperative location of the somatosensory area and motor area by optical intrinsic signal imaging and neuromonitoring is a reliable and safe method.

Objective To observe effect of the pulmonary injury and the dynamic changes of the blood gas index on the mortality rate of the dogs suffered from underwater blast injury. Methods 38 adult dogs were brought out underwater blast injury by TNT. The dogs that died on the spot were anatomized immediately, while the survivors were anatomized after 6 hours; the blood samples were taken before the explosions, 30min and 6 hours after them to analyze the blood gas index by i-STAT. Results Most of the lung injuries were pulmonary hemorrhage and edema; the positive impulse of the blast wave and the severity of the lung injury were closely related to the mortality rate; the frequency of the respiratory and the blood oxygen and the carbon dioxide pressure can roughly exhibit how severe the lungs were injured. Conclusions The severe hypoxia induced by lung injury is the main cause of the early death; correlation between the severity of the injury and the positive impulse of blast wave is very obvious.
