7.Advances on biomechanics and kinematics of sprain of ankle joint.
China Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology 2015;28(4):374-377
Ankle sprains are orthopedic clinical common disease, accounting for joint ligament sprain of the first place. If treatment is not timely or appropriate, the joint pain and instability maybe develop, and even bone arthritis maybe develop. The mechanism of injury of ankle joint, anatomical basis has been fully study at present, and the diagnostic problem is very clear. Along with the development of science and technology, biological modeling and three-dimensional finite element, three-dimensional motion capture system,digital technology study, electromyographic signal study were used for the basic research of sprain of ankle. Biomechanical and kinematic study of ankle sprain has received adequate attention, combined with the mechanism research of ankle sprain,and to explore the the biomechanics and kinematics research progress of the sprain of ankle joint.

8.All-arthroscopic rotator cuff repair versus mini-open for the treatment of rotator cuff injury:aMeta-analysis
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2016;20(20):3022-3031
BACKGROUND:There are controversies about the efficacy of al-arthroscopic rotator cuff repairversus mini-open for the treatment of rotator cuff injury.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the efficacy of al-arthroscopic rotator cuff repairversusmini-open for the treatment of rotator cuff injury by conducting a meta-analysis.
METHODS:A computer-based online search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and CBM databases from January 1966 to November 2015 to screen the relevant articles usingthe key words of“rotator cuff, arthroscopy, mini-open”. Meta-analysis was performed using Revman5.3 software.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 11 studies, including 6randomized controled trialsand 5 cohort studies,were selected. The meta-analysis results showed that there were no significant differences in the function and strength of the shoulder joint, pain, motor range, recurrence of rotator cuff avulsion, the incidence rate of ankylosis between both two groups (P> 0.05). These results suggest that the efficacy of al-arthroscopic rotator cuff repair does not differ from those of mini-open for the treatment of rotator cuff injury. However arthroscopic rotator cuff repair induces less soft tissue injury and early incision pain, but better function recovery.
9.Comparison of the 6th and 7th editions of the UICC TNM staging system for gastric cancer
Journal of Chinese Physician 2015;17(2):215-220
Objective To evaluate the 7th edition American Joint Committee on Cancer/Union for International Cancer Control (AJCC/UICC) tumor node metastasis (TNM) staging system for gastric carcinoma with the 6th edition in Chinese population.Methods A total of 401 gastric cancer patients undergoing surgical resection was staged using the 6th and 7th edition AJCC TNM staging system,respectively.Homogeneity,discriminatory ability,and monotonicity of gradients of two systems were compared using linear trend x2 test,likelihood ratio x2 statistics,and akaike information criterion (AIC) calculations.To compare the accuracy of prognostic evaluation between the 6th and the 7th edition TNM staging system for gastric cancer.Results Significant difference in 5 years survival rate were observed according to the T/N classification using the 6th edition staging system,and there were similar survival curves between T1a and T1b according to the 7th T classification.There was not significant difference between the area under the curve (AUC) of the 6th and the 7th edition staging systems.Conclusions T staging and N classification according to the 7th edition showed better performance,but the 72 TNM staging system was not better in predictive accuracy.
10.The relationship of plasma homocysteine and the polymorphism of MTHFR gene with brain infarction in type 2 diabetes mellitus
Chinese Journal of Diabetes 2015;(2):107-109
Objective To investigate the relationship of plasma homocysteine and the polymorphism of MTHFR gene with ischemic stroke in type 2 diabetes. Methods Serum Hcy ,folic acid and the polymorphism of MTHFR gene were compared among 81 T2DM patients with brain infarction (T2DM+BI) and 325 T2DM patients without brain infarction (T2DM ). Results All the genotypes of T2DM group and T2DM+BI group followed the hardy‐weinberg law. There was no significant difference in the frequency of mutant alleles (T) in site 677 of MTHFR gene and in frequency of TT genotype between the groups of T2DM and T2DM + BI (64.15% vs 60.15% and 42.5% vs 34.5% ,P > 0.05 ). The concentration of Hcy was significantly higher in patients with TT genotype than with CC genotype (14.4 ± 7.86) vs (10.58 ± 3.37)mmol/L(P<0.01). Conclusion There is no correlation between polymorphism of MTHFR gene and stroke in T2DM patients. The mutation of MTHFR C677T is associated with hyperhomocysteinemia.
