ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effects of immobilization of flexor tendon with elastic rubber band after the repair in 58 cases with flexor tendon completely severed in Zone Ⅱ . Methods The severed flexor tendon was repaired with the modified Kessler method. The rubber band was linked to the end of the nail with silk thread. The forearm and hand joint were immobilized by dorsal plaster cast.The rubber band was fixed with short tube plaster at the lower part of forearm so as to keep the interphalangeal joints in flexion. 48 hours post operation, exercises were done to extend fingers initiatively and flex fingers passively with the help of the elastic rubber band. The practice lasted for 3 weeks. Results The patients were followed up for three to six months.The digital functions of flexion and extension were normal. Conclusion Using elastic rubber band to immobilize flexor tendon post operation proves to have a remarkable effect on the functional recovery.
ABSTRACT
Purpose The aim is to modify the pyrogenic pathol ogy mo del induced by injection of saccharomycetet water in rats,and to eliminate the t emperature decline period after injection of saccharomycete water sc.Metho ds It was measured that the anus temperature of both two groups of rats (one group was injected of incubated saccharomycete water and the other inj ected unincubated saccharomycete water sc) 1,2,3,4,6,8 h after injection respect ively.Results The anus temperature had no decline period and the temperature rose quickly in the group of injected with incubated saccharomyc ete water (in 34℃thermostasis water).There was significant difference(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01)between incubated group and unincubated group in temperature risin g by t-test.Conclusion No temperature declining peri od was observed in the pyrogenic pathology model of rat, if those rats were trea ted with saccharomycete water which was incubated at 34℃for 0.5 h.
ABSTRACT
Hypoglycemic effects of Yifusheng on hyperglycemia animals induced by alloxan or adrenaline were studied.The result showed that Yifusheng in the dosage of 0.25 g/kg and 0.125 g/kg could significantly decrease the content of plasma blood sugar(P
ABSTRACT
Obesity is caused by the imbalance between caloric intake and energy expenditure. It is also influenced by genetic factors. Many genes,such as ob gene, ? 3 receptor gene, ucp 1 gene, may involved in the prevalence of obesity. Pharmacologic treatments include anorexigenic agents, lipase inhibitor, ? 3 receptor agonists and many newer antiobesity drugs, which provide prospective ways in treating obesity.
