Objective To investigate the nursing experience during posterior cruciate ligament(PCL)reconstruction using LRAS artificial ligament under arthroscopy.Method The experience in nursing 51 cases of PCL reconstruction using LARS artificial ligament under arthroscopy from 2009 to 2012 was retrospectively summarized.Results It showed that KDC score of the 39 cases was excellent and 12 cases good,with the excellent and good rate of 100.0%.The average operation duration was(70.0±6.0)min and the average blood lose(50±3.6)ml.Conclusion Sufficient preparation before operation,much familiarity with LARS artificial ligament,skilled and accurate surgical cooperation are important factors for the success of PCL reconstruction using LARS artificial ligament under arthroscopy.

Objective To evaluate the effect of rapid-prototyping (RP) fracture model in the teaching of extremity fracture. Methods 60 clinical medical undergraduates of the Fourth Military Medical University, who were receiving “surgery” teaching in 2012, were randomly divided into A and B groups equally by lottery. Undergraduates of Group A were taught by traditional methods while undergraduates of Group B were explained by using RP fracture model about the basic anatomy, fracture mechanism, injury mechanism of important vessels and nerves besides traditional methods. Degree of satisfaction of the undergraduates and examination were applied immediately after class. Original data were imputed into SPSS software (version 17.0) for comparison between the two groups using t-test. Results The difference of the two groups in the degree of satisfaction of the undergradu-ates, the average score of fracture mechanism, injury mechanism, clinical manifestation, key point of diagnosis, treatment principles and the total score all has statistical significance (P=0.000). Conclu-sions Students' self-initiative, learning interest and studying efficiency can be inspired by RP fracture models and their professional examination performance has also improved significantly.

Objective: To evaluate the methodological quality of papers that performed meta-analyzed and systematically reviewed acupoint selections for the treatment of functional dyspepsia (FD) and to identify the ideal acupoint combinations for FD. Methods: Chinese databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP), China Biology Medicine (CBM), and Wanfang Database, as well as English databases including PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched to retrieve papers about meta-analysis and systematic literature reviews on acupuncture for FD. The time span for the paper retrieval was set from the foundation of the databases to April 30, 2022. The Veritas scores of the papers based on their publication year, study type, Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews 2 (AMSTAR2), Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), heterogeneity, and publication bias were rated to assess the methodological quality of the included studies. Then, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were extracted from those meta-analysis papers or systematic literature reviews for analyzing acupoints frequency, meridian frequency, and association rules with the use of R software (V 4.3.1). Results: Eight meta-analysis papers were included in the study after screening. The mean Veritas scores of the papers based on publication year, type of study, AMSTAR2, PRISMA, heterogeneity, and publication bias were 4.50, 8.00, 4.63, 4.63, 4.50, and 6.13, respectively. The analysis of the scores revealed insufficiencies in the reviews pertaining to the methodology, comprehension of the research strategy, detailed list of excluded studies, sources of funding, assessment of potential bias risks impact on meta-analysis results in each study, explanation of heterogeneity, and identification of potential conflicts of interest. Furthermore, a total of 85 RCTs were obtained from the eight meta-analysis papers involving 85 acupuncture prescriptions and 67 acupoints for subsequent data mining. The most commonly used meridian was Stomach meridian of Foot-Yangming (ST). Zusanli (ST36), Neiguan (PC6), Zhongwan (CV12), Taichong (LR3), Tianshu (ST25), Gongsun (SP4), Weishu (BL21), Pishu (BL20), Neiting (ST44), and Yinlingquan (SP9) topped the list of frequently selected acupoints. Additionally, a total of 28 association rules were identified, including 10 second-order, 15 third-order, and 3 fourth-order association rules. The top-ranking association rules in each order were “Neiguan (PC6) → Zusanli (ST36)” “Zhongwan (CV12) + Neiguan (PC6) → Zusanli (ST36)” and “Zhongwan (CV12) + Taichong (LR3) + Neiguan (PC6) → Zusanli (ST36)”, respectively. Conclusion Acupuncture could alleviate the clinical symptoms of FD. However, the quality of methodology applied in the meta-analysis papers on the subject needs to be improved. Through data mining, a combination of Neiguan (PC6), Zusanli (ST36), Zhongwan (CV12), and Taichong (LR3) was identified as an essential acupoint combination for the treatment of FD.
