Clinical observation on treatment of 60 cases of osteoarthritis of knee joint by electroacupuncture

Purpose To observe therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture Neixiyan (Ex-LE 4) and Dubi (ST 35) in treating osteoarthritis of knee joint.Method All the 120 cases were randomly divided into electroacupuncture and control groups, 60 cases in each group, and they were given electroacupuncture and Ritalin slowreleased tablet respectively, and pain, mobility and swelling degree of knee joint were observed before and after treatments.Results In treatment group, the average score increased by 18, while in control group, it increased by 12.33 (P<0.05) after treatment.Conclusion Therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture Neixiyan (Ex-LE 4) and Dubi (ST 35) in treating osteoarthritis of knee joint was better than that of administration of Ritalin slow-released tablet.

Intra-articular ganglion cysts of the cruciate ligaments

Intra-articular ganglion cysts of the cruciate ligaments are associated with non-specific clinical signs and symptoms. Familiarity with the MR appearances in particular is important to make an accurate diagnosis, exclude associated abnormalities, and avoid misdiagnosis.

Assessment of patellar maltracking using combined static and dynamic MRI

Between January 1995 and Jul 1997, 474 patients with anterior knee pain resistant to conservative treatment were referred for MR of the knee. The MR examination consisted of routine sequences with an additional patellofemoral dynamic examination using a technique that has been developed at this institution. The dynamic study examines both knees simultaneously, with the patient supine and the quadriceps loaded. No gating or restraint apparatus is needed. Patellar subluxation or tilt was present in 188(40 %) of cases, bilateral in 104 and unilateral in 84 cases (right 39, left 45). It was classified as mild in 51 %, moderate in 39 % and severe in 10 %. Subluxation was more prevalent in females than males (42 % vs. 37 %) and this was most obvious in the severe group where 68 % were female. In 90 knees selected at random, four measurements of patellofemoral morphology were obtained using reconstructed images from a volume gradient echo sequence. These measurements were correlated with the degree of subluxation or tilt. A tibial tubercle distance greater than 20 mm, a femoral sulcus angle greater than 150 degrees, sulcus depth less than 4 mm were specific for subluxation but no measurement proved to be sufficiently sensitive to preclude a tracking study. MRI can be used to define more precisely the anatomy of the extensor mechanism and its relationship to the femur and tibia, in both a static and dynamic setting. In this way, patients with anterior knee pain can be classified more accurately and the outcomes of treatment more reliably assessed.

The design of a cervical vertebra titanium plate-interbody fusion cage

Objective： To study the biomechanical feature of a newly designed cervical vertebra internal fixation device and its clinical applications. Methods： Some functional spinal units were fixed respectively with titanium plate, fusion cage and new device designed by ourselves, then a controlled biomechanical study including flexion, extension, torsion and lateral bending was performed and the results were analyzed. Results： As to the mechanical performance, fusion cage showed poor performance in extension test and so did the titanium plate in the distortion test. However, the new device showed good performance in every test. Conclusion： Both simple titanium plate fixation and simple fusion cage fixation have biomechanical defaults, but they are complementary. The titanium plate-interbody fusion cage avoids the defaults and has specific advantages.     

可视化角膜生物力学分析仪评价FS-LASIK、SBK、LASEK术后生物力学变化

目的：研究3种角膜屈光手术在手术前后角膜生物力学的变化及不同术式间的差异。方法：前瞻性研究。对2016年2-4月南京医科大学附属南京医院眼科行准分子激光手术的患者64例（125眼）手术前后的角膜生物力学参数进行分析,其中55眼行飞秒激光制瓣准分子激光原位角膜磨镶术（FS-LASIK）,47 眼行准分子激光前弹力层下角膜磨镶术（SBK）,23眼行准分子激光上皮下角膜磨镶术（LASEK）。应用可视化角膜生物力学仪（CST）对患者进行测量,选取其中第一压平时间（AT1）、第二压平速度（Vout）、最大压陷曲率半径（HC-radius）、最大压陷幅度（DA）、眼压（IOP）进行分析。术后1 d、1 周、3 个月进行随访。采用单因素方差分析、Pearson相关分析、配对t检验进行数据分析。结果：FS-LASIK组中各项生物力学参数与中央角膜厚度（CCT）（ AT1：r=0.455,P<0.001;Vout：r=-0.286,P=0.034;HC-radius：r=0.357,P=0.007;DA：r=-0.341,P=0.011;IOP：r=0.436,P=0.001）、角膜剩余基质床厚度（RST）（ AT1 r=0.563,P<0.001;Vout：r=-0.417,P=0.007;HC-radius：r=0.552,P<0.001;DA：r=-0.395,P=0.012;IOP：r=0.516,P<0.001）、最大切削深度（AD）（ AT1：r=-0.721,P<0.001;Vout：r=0.466,P=0.002;HC-radius：r=-0.407,P=0.009;DA：r=0.596, P<0.001;IOP：r=-0.612,P<0.001）均有较强相关性。SBK组中各项生物力学参数均与CCT（AT1：r=0.364,P=0.012;Vout：r=0.408,P=0.004;HC-radius：r=0.326,P=0.025;DA：r=-0.362,P=0.012;IOP：r=0.387,P=0.007）有较强的相关性。LASEK组中仅AT1（r=0.625,P=0.001）、IOP（r=0.624,P=0.001）与CCT有相关性。3 组的AT1、HC-radius、IOP和CCT较术前均减小（均P<0.05）,Vout、DA较术前均增加（均P<0.05）。3组间比较,术后1 周时FS-LASIK组的AT1、IOP值明显大于LASEK组（AT1：F=7.313,P=0.001;IOP：F=4.979,P=0.009）,Vout和DA值明显小于LASEK组（Vout：F=3.420,P=0.038;DA：F=9.024,P<0.001）,SBK组的各项参数值位于2 组之间,与FS-LASIK组差异无统计学意义;术后3 个月时,3 组间差异无统计学意义。结论：在角膜厚度足够时,3 种手术方式均能安全可靠地矫正近视。FS-LASIK由于飞秒激光切削的精确性和优越性,术后能够更快恢复生物力学的稳定性。LASEK的生物力学变化与剩余基质床厚度和切削深度的相关性较低,在患者近视度数较高,角膜相对较薄时,可以优先考虑该术式。
