Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of combining auricular point sticking and a healthy diet to treat simple obesity in children aged 6-9 years old.Methods: A total of 190 eligible obese kids were divided into an observation group and a control group using the random number table method, with 95 cases in each group. The observation group was intervened by auricular point sticking plus guide on a healthy diet, while the control group was only provided with the guide on a healthy diet. The therapeutic efficacy was observed after intervention for three consecutive months, as well as the changes in body mass (BM), body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), and subcutaneous fat thickness. Results: After the 3-month intervention, the total effective rate was 91.6% in the observation group, versus 74.7% in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.01); in both groups, the BM, BMI, WC, HC, and subcutaneous fat thickness all decreased significantly (P<0.05), and were lower in the observation group than in the control group, showing statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion: Auricular point sticking plus a healthy diet is safe and effective in treating simple obesity in children, producing more significant efficacy than healthy diet intervention alone.

Objective To explore the effect of posterior internal fixation surgery with pedicle screw/rod instrument system in the treatment of thoracic vertebrae fracture-dislocation complicated with a severe thoracic injury. Methods In the 8 cases examined, the range of injury was from T5 to T9, including 1 case of compression fracture-dislocation and 7 cases of burst fracture-dislocation according to Hanley and Eskey’ s classification. According to Frankle’ s classification, 4 were grade A, 3 were grade B, 1 was grade C. All cases were complicated with multiple fractures of bilateral ribs, pulmonary contusion and haemothorax. After the pathogenic condition being stable, reduction and internal fixation were performed with the posterior surgery pedicle screw/rod instrument system. In 5 cases, spinal canal anterolateral decompression was performed homeochronously. The intervals between accidents and operation were 3 to 9 days. Results Operations were performed safely in all patients. The reposition of the alignment and height of vertebraes was good. Postoperative CT scanning showed: in 2 cases, bone block occupied about 10% volume of vertebral canal, and 1 was 50%. The follow-up were 4~36 months, averaging 15 months. No postreduction disposition, internal fixation loosening or breakage occurred. The Frankel’ s classification of neurological function was improved by 1 grade on average. Conclusions After a positive treatment of thoracic injury, it is safe and feasible to treat the fresh thoracic vertebrae fracture-dislocation with the posterior surgery pedicle screw/rod instrument system, and the curative effects are satisfied.
