Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of tuina in treating depression.Method: Eighty depression cases that conformed to the inclusive criteria were randomized into tuina and Deanxit group, with 40 cases in each group. Tuina manipulations were adopted for cases in the tuina group, 30 min for each treatment. While 2 Deanxit tablets were adopted for cases in the Deanxit group, twice a day. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated by using Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) before treatment and the 2nd, 4th and 6thweeks after. In addition, the Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (TESS) was adopted to evaluate the adverse reactions in the two groups. Result: Both tuina and Deanxit can help to relieve the symptoms of depression patients. The effective rate of tuina and Deanxit were 72.5% and 70.0% respectively. However, there were no adverse reactions in tuina group, while 12.5% of adverse reaction rate occurred in the Deanxit group. Conclusion: Tuina can definitely benefit patients with depression and cause no adverse reactions.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of posterior malleolar ankle fracture, and the selection of the surgical approach. Methods From January 2013 to September 2015, 83 cases of posterior malleolar fractures were retrospectively analyzed. Haraguchi typing was performed based on the three-dimensional CT. There were 54 cases with HaraguchiⅠtype, 16 cases with HaraguchiⅡtype, and 13 cases with HaraguchiⅢtype. The patients who were HaraguchiⅠand Haraguchi Ⅲtypes accepted the operation with posterolateral approach. The patients who were HaraguchiⅡtype and combined medial malleolus fracture accepted the operation with medial approach. The HaraguchiⅡpatients who were not combined medial malleolus fracture were used the medial paraachilles approach. Images of the ankle joint were filmed 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months and 12 months after the surgery. The healing time, complications and corresponding record outcome were determined by X-ray and clinical examination. At the last follow-up, ankle function and quality of life of patients were evaluated according to the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle and hindfoot score and SF-36. Results Eighty-three patients were follow-up for 6-24 (mean 15.4± 6.2) months. The fractures healed on X-ray. The average X-ray healing time was from 12 to 24 (mean 18.6±4.2) weeks. AOFAS score was 71 to 100 (mean 88.4±8.4) points. Sixty-seven cases were excellent, 14 cases were good, 2 cases were moderate, and good rate was 97.59%. SF-36 physiological score was 31.6-69.2 points(mean 48.4 ± 4.8 points);SF-36 psychological score 28.6-64.5 points(mean 45.8 ± 3.5 points). Chronic ankle pain was complained by one patient. He was diagnosed traumatic arthritis, oral non-steroidal drugs was used to relief his ankle pain. One patient wound infected, and healed after treatment. No instrument failure and fracture displacement were found. Conclusion According to fracture morphology and clinical features after posterior malleolar ankle fracture, different surgical approaches are selected, which will be satisfied with the outcome.

AIM: To observe the effects of aspirin and prostaglandin E_2 (PGE_2) on the cell viability and cell cycle in SW1990 human pancreatic carcinoma cell lines, and to investigate the mechanisms of aspirin-induced growth inhibition and cell cycle arrest. METHODS: After incubated with aspirin or PGE_2 and their combination, the viability of SW1990 cells was measured by MTT assay. The levels of intracellular PGE_2 were determined by ELISA. The effects of aspirin or PGE_2 on cell cycle were investigated by flow cytometry (FCM). The expression of p21~ Wafl/cipl and p27~ Kipl/pic2 (the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors) were analyzed by Western blotting. RESULTS: Aspirin could inhibit the growth of cells and level of intracellular PGE_2 in a dose-dependent manner. Aspirin enhanced the expression of p21~ Wafl/cipl and p27~ Kipl/pic2 and induced cell cycle arrest at G_0/G_1 phase. PGE_2 increased the cell viability of SW1990 cells. However, it couldn't antagonize the changes of cell viability and cell cycle that induced by aspirin. CONCLUSIONS: The inhibitory effects of aspirin on growth and cell cycle of pancreatic carcinoma cells might not be mediated by a COX-dependent pathway completely. Cell cycle arrest induced by aspirin might be associated with up-regulation of p21~ Wafl/cipl and p27~ Kipl/pic2 .

Objective To evaluate clinical efficiency and quality-of-life outcomes in treatment of severe pelvic organ prolapse by the Xiehe pelvic floor reconstruction surgery. Methods From Jun. 2006 to Dec. 2008, 277 severe pelvic organ prolapse patients with stage Ⅲ to Ⅳ from 8 hospitals in China were enrolled in this prospective study. Pelvic organ prolapse quantitative examination (POP-Q) and anatomic improvement in these patients after surgery were analyzed in this interim study. Comparisons of pelvic floor impact questionnaire-short form 7 (PFIQ-7) and pelvic floor distress inventory-short form 20 (PFDI-20) in these patients before and after surgery was used to evaluate quality of life. Comparison of pelvic organ prolapse-urinary incontinence sexual questionnaire (PISQ) in these patients before and after surgery was used to evaluate quality of sexual life. Results With a median follow-up of 14. 0 months (6 -28 months),twenty-three patients showed recurrent prolapse (8. 3%, 23/277), and anatomical success ( < stage 2 in the treated compartment) was 91.7% (254/277). In this series, mesh exposure or erosion rate was 6. 9% (19/277). The postoperative de novo stress incontinence rate was 6. 5% (18/277). The scores for PFIQ-7 and PFDI-20, and its subscales were significantly improved, the scores of before treatment were lower than those after treatment (P <0. 01 ). And there was no significant difference in the average score of PISQ before and after the surgery (76. 6 ± 15.4 versus 75.5 ± 14. 5 versus 73.6 ± 12. 6, P >0. 05 ), but the rate of de novo dyspareunia was 11% (9/80). Conclusions Xiehe pelvic floor reconstruction surgery was safe and efficacy in treatment of pelvic organ prolapse. It could improve quality of life remarkably with less cost when compared with the traditional total pelvic floor reconstruction surgery.
