Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of moxibustion at Baihui (GV20) plus Tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage) for children with postnasal drip syndrome (PNDS).Methods: A total of 60 cases were divided into an observation group and a control group according to the random number table method, with 30 cases in each group. Cases in the control group received mometasone furoate nasal spray and nasal irrigation with 0.9％ normal saline. Cases in the observation group received additional moxibustion at Baihui (GV20) plus Tuina at the head and face. All the cases were treated for four consecutive weeks. The clinical efficacy and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptoms score were compared between the two groups. Results: The total effective rate of the observation group was 93.3％ while that of the control group was 70.0％. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the TCM symptom scores in both groups declined significantly, showing a statistical difference from that before treatment (P<0.05), and the score of the observation group was notably lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The clinical efficacy of moxibustion at Baihui (GV20) plus Tuina at the head and face on the basis of nasal spray with Western medicine is more significant than that of Western medicine alone for PNDS in children.

BACKGROUND:Self-made Distraction Reduction Fixation System is characterized by Distraction Reduction Fixation functions,which can completely fuse to the design of steel plate,and by no need to provide many surgical instruments,by reduction of bleeding and trauma.OBJECTIVE:To test changes in the stiffness of porcine short spinal segments in integrity and following destabilizing and internal fixation of the Distraction Reduction Fixation System.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:The control observation experiment was performed at the Laboratory of Biodynamics,Institute of Onhopedics,General Hospital of Chinese PLA from December 2004 to December 2005.MATERIALS:Twelve fresh porcine lumbar spines(T11-S2 segments)were bought from a market.Upper and lower segments were crossed and inserted with Kirschner wire to make porcine spine samples of the L1-7 segments.METHODS:Stiffness of intact samples was recorded during forward-bending,backward-bending,lateral-bending and axial rotation.Intervertebral discs,facet ioints,anterior and posterior longitudinal ligaments were removed to loose the spine.Stifrness of each motion was measured.Stiffness tests were repeated again after internal fixation on short segments using Distraction Reduction Fixation System.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Stiffness in the intact,unstable and internal fixed spines during each motion.RESULTS:The stiffness iu unstable porcine spine were significantly lower than those in intact porcine spine(P<0.05),but the stiffness after internal fixation was significantly higher than in unstable porcine spine(P<0.05).No significant difference was detected in stifiness during forward-bending,lateral-bending and axial rotation(P>0.05)except that it was significantly higher during backward.bending after internal fixation compared with the intaet spine(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Biodynamics confirms that the stiffness in short-segment fixation porcine after using Distraction Reduction Fixation System is markedly increased than in unstable porcine spine,except during backward-bending,which is comparable with that in intact porcine spine.

Objective To identify the role of paravertebral muscles in the pathogenesis of scoliosis.MethodsParavertebral muscles were gotten from the 37 patients(12 congenital scoliosis patients and 25 idiopathic scoliosis patients) during the operations.Cryostat sections were cut by 10 μm nd stained with H&E,m-GT,NADH-TR,ATPase.ResultsMyogenic changes,incuding muscle fibrosis,fiber necrosis,etc,were common in paravertebral muscles of scoliosis patients,however regenerating fibers were quite rare.Diffuse fibrosis and remarkablely disorganized fiber directions presented in most of congenital scoliosis patients,while focal fibrosis without necrosis in most of idiopathic scoliosis patients.Neurogenic changes were found in one congenital scoliosis patient and 4 idiopathic scoliosis patients,however four of the five patients had undergone orthopedics.Thickened capsule wall of muscle spindles and connective tissue infiltration in muscle spindles were found in both kinds of scoliosis.ConclusionThere are some differences on pathological changes of paravertebral muscles between congenital scoliosis and idiopathic scoliosis,which indicates that paravertebral muscles may play a special role in the pathogenesis of idiopathic scoliosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate atlantoepistrophic imaging features of patients with vertigo of cervical syndrome.Methods74 patients with vertigo of cervical syndrome were checked by photographs of cervical vertebrae of A-P position, lateral position and mouth open position, some patients were checked by CT three-dimensional reconstruction and/or MRI vertebral arteriography.ResultsImaging examination of these patients showed that physiolgical curvature of cervical vertebrae became straightened, width of both lateral masses of atlas was inequality, space of both lateral masses of atlas to odontoid process of vertebra dentata was also inequality, and inferior articular surface of lateral mass was not parallel with superior articular surface of axis. The CT could display the side displacement and anterior or posterior rotation of lateral masses of atlas. The cervical MRI vertebral arteriography could display the effect of side displacement and rotation of lateral masses of atlas on vertebral artery. If side displacement or rotation of vertebral artery occurred, the diameter of artery decreased.ConclusionThe diseased region of vertigo of the cervical syndrome is the atlas and axis, especially the side displacement and anterior or posterior rotation of the atlas.
