Objective:To compare the curative effects between modified double-reverse traction technique and traditional open reduction in the treatment of tibial plateau fractures.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 70 patients with Schatzker type Ⅳ-Ⅴ tibial plateau fracture who had undergone surgical treatment at The Third Department of Orthopaedics, Zhongshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2017 to December 2022. The patients were divided into an observation group treated with modified double-reverse traction and a control group treated with traditional open reduction. In the observation group of 37 cases, there were 20 males and 17 females with an age of (44.6±13.5) years, and 9 cases of type Ⅳ and 28 cases of type V by the Schatzker classification; in the control group of 33 cases, there were 18 males and 15 females with an age of (45.9±13.7) years, and 10 cases of type Ⅳ and 23 cases of type Ⅴ by the Schatzker classification. The 2 groups were compared in terms of operation time, length of main incision, intraoperative blood loss, Rasmussen imaging score before discharge, and knee function score of American Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), fracture healing and complications at 6 months postoperatively.Results:There was no significant difference in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, showing group comparability ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up for (14.3±1.4) months. The observation group was significantly better than the control group in operation time [(113.9±11.4) min versus (151.82±10.37) min], length of main incision [4 (4, 5) cm versus 6 (6, 7) cm], intraoperative blood loss [30 (20, 35) mL versus 55 (50, 65) mL], VAS [0 (0, 0) point versus 0 (0, 1) points] and HSS score [(89.8±3.1) points versus (86.0±3.5) points] ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in Rasmussen imaging score before discharge, or fracture healing rate or complication rate at 6 months postoperatively ( P>0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of Schatzker type Ⅳ-Ⅴ tibial plateau fractures, modified double-reverse traction technique is worthy of clinical application and promotion, because it is advantageous over traditional open reduction in terms of shorter operation time, smaller surgical incision, less intraoperative blood loss, less postoperative pain and better knee function.

Objective To analyze the acupoint selection rule of acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of gastrointestinal dysfunction associated with sepsis,thereby providing a reference for clinical treatment.Methods A systematic search was conducted in several databases,including China national knowledge infrastructure(CNKI),China Science Periodical Database,Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database,Chinese Biomedical literature database(CBM),Wanfang Data,and VIP Database,from the inception of the databases until September 30,2023.The collected literature was organized in an Excel database and subjected to descriptive analysis.Association rule analysis and cluster analysis were performed using SPSS 26.0 and SPSS Modeler 18.0 software.Results Finally,35 acupuncture and moxibustion prescriptions in 35 articles were selected for frequency statistics.The results showed 33 acupoints were used to treat gastrointestinal dysfunction in sepsis,with an overall frequency of use of 176 acupoints.The top 10 acupoints used by acupuncture and moxibustion for the treatment of gastrointestinal dysfunction in sepsis from high to low were Zusanli,Tianshu,Shangjuxu,Zhongwan,Neiguan,Xiajuxu,Guanyuan,Qihai,Shangwan,Xiawan.The top 3 were Zusanli(16.5%),Tianshu(13.6%),Shangjuxu(11.9%).The most commonly used meridians were the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian(52.8%),Ren Meridian(23.9%),and Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian(8.0%).The main sites for acupoint selection were the lower limbs(44.9%)and abdomen(41.5%).The most commonly used acupoints were combined acupoints below specific acupoints(35.2%),followed by recruited acupoints(27.8%).The results of high-frequency acupoint correlation analysis showed that the acupoints with the highest comprehensive support were Zusanli,Tianshu,Zhongwan,and Shangjuxu.Cluster analysis identified 5 effective clusters(Quchi acupoint-Sanyinjiao acupoint-Neiting acupoint-Daheng acupoint-Jiaji acupoint-Yinlingquan acupoint-Shangwan acupoint-Xiawan acupoint,Guanyuan acupoint-Qihai acupoint-Neiguan acupoint-Xiajuxu acupoint,Tianshu acupoint-Shangjuxu acupoint,Zhongwan acupoint,Zusanli acupoint)and 4 commonly used acupoint combinations(Guanyuan acupoint-Qihai acupoint-Neiguan acupoint-Xiajuxu acupoint,Tianshu acupoint-Shangjuxu acupoint,Zhongwan acupoint,Zusanli acupoint).Conclusions Acupuncture treatment for gastrointestinal dysfunction in sepsis is mainly based on the treatment of"spleen and stomach",with local acupoint selection and acupoint selection along the meridian as the main approach.It emphasizes the application of specific acupoints,especially the Xiahe and Mu acupoints.

Objective To explore the effect of Dachaihu decoction on the Toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor-κB(TLR4/NF-κB)signaling pathway and gastrointestinal mucosal barrier in rats with severe heat stroke.Methods Sixty SPF grade Sprague-Dawley(SD)male rats were divided into normal control group,model group,Dachaihu decoction standard dose group and Dachaihu decoction high dose group of 15 rats in each group.The heat stroke model was replicated in the rats at temperature(40.5±0.5)℃and humidity(65.0±2.0)%;the normal control group was not treated.From 6 hours after mold making,drug intervention was carried out in the Dachaihu decoction high dose group and the Dachaihu decoction standard dose group of 3.38 g·kg-1·d-1 and 1.69 g·kg-1·d-1,every 8 hours for 2 days.Equal amounts of normal saline were administered to the normal control group and model group.At 6,24 and 48 hours after the molding,5 mL abdominal main artery blood from 5 rats were randomly collected from each group,and the blood was obtained by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)to determine the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-1(IL-1),D-lactic acid,intestinal fatty acid-binding protein(I-FABP).At the same time,the ileum tissue was retained,and the protein expression of TLR4 and NF-κB in intestinal tissue was determined by Western blotting.Some of the ileal tissue was obtained for hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining,and the intestinal histopathological changes were observed under light microscopy.Results The normal control group of rats had no significant change,and the other three groups showed heatstroke symptoms after mold making.The overall mortality in drug group were significantly lower than that in the model group[3.3%(1/30)vs.20.0%(3/15),P＜0.05].Compared with the normal control group,the serum IL-1,TNF-α,I-FABP,D-lactic acid and the protein expression levels of TLR4 and NF-κB in the model group,Dachaihu decoction standard dose group and Dachaihu decoction high dose group all increased.Compared with the model group,at 24 hours and 48 hours after molding in the Dachaihu decoction standard dose group and Dachaihu decoction high dose group,the serum IL-1,TNF-α,I-FABP,D-lactic acid and the protein expression levels of TLR4 and NF-κB significant decreased[24 hours:TNF-α(ng/L):69.20±4.32,59.37±4.31 vs.76.99±5.02,IL-1(ng/L):132.68±4.93,112.59±9.64 vs.146.75±10.12,I-FABP(mmol/L):504.35±22.23,453.37±32.38 vs.542.58±13.83,D-lactic acid(mmol/L):114.55±8.52,90.57±3.09 vs.127.87±8.37,protein expression of TLR4(A value):1.50±0.08,1.23±0.01 vs.1.86±0.08,protein expression of NF-κB(A value):1.61±0.05,1.21±0.05 vs.1.97±0.08;48 hours:TNF-α(ng/L):58.46±5.13,38.98±5.53 vs.90.21±3.02,IL-1(ng/L):119.12±4.57,84.12±5.08 vs.170.20±6.21,I-FABP(mmol/L):436.04±27.63,321.85±22.03 vs.618.79±12.31,D-lactic acid(mmol/L):87.35±6.84,70.38±4.33 vs.154.14±10.83,protein expression of TLR4(A value):1.19±0.05,1.10±0.13 vs.2.09±0.06,protein expression of NF-κB(A value):1.15±0.09,0.97±0.08 vs.2.20±0.02,all P＜0.05].The expression levels of TNF-α,I-FABP,TLR4 and NF-κB protein in Dachaihu decoction high dose group decreased significantly at 24 hours and 48 hours compared with the standard dose group,however,IL-1 and D-lactic acid decreased significantly at 48 hours after molding(all P＜0.05).The pathology observation showed that,compared with the model group,the intestinal mucosa villus,the lamina propria drop and haemorrhage was decreased in the Dachaihu decoction standard dose group and Dachaihu decoction high dose group.Telangiectasia was reduced and no ulcer formation was observed.Conclusion Dachaihu decoction can inhibit TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway,reduce intestinal inflammatory response,thus reduce gastrointestinal damage,and protect the gastrointestinal mucosal barrier in rats with severe heatstroke.
