ABSTRACT
Objective To review advance of gabapentin in treatment of refractory chronic cough, and to provide evidence for its clinical usage and further study.The original articles referring to gabapentin’ s effect on sensory neuropathy such as refractory chronic cough, which were retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang Medical Network, as well as PubMed over the last 15 years, were reviewed.The safety, efficacy and its mechanism of gabapentin were sorted, generalized and analyzed.Gabapentin appears to be effective and safe in the treatment of sensory neuropathic disorder such as refractory chronic cough, and its effective treatment results may come ture through improving central sensitization, which indicates the drug has new clinical application value.Relevant clinical trials investigating its efficacy and safety profile in the treatment of cough are limited and further research are needed.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate clinical therapeutic efficacy and safety of joint application of Monosialotetrahexosylganglioside Sodium and the Vinpocetine in patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods 60 patients with acute cerebral infarction, admitted to Wuxi People's Hospital Attached to Nanjing Medical University from January 2013 to July 2015, were randomly divided into observation group(n=30) and control group(n=30).They were both treated by identical basis therapy, such as antiplatelet, dilute blood viscosity, neurotrophy therapy and symptomatic treatment.The patients in the observation group were treated by joint application of Monosialotetrahexosylganglioside Sodium and the Vinpocetine on the identical basis therapy.On the pretherapy and post-treatment day, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Barthel Index(BI), neuron specific enolase(NSE), hemodynamic indexes and efficiency of clinical treatment in these patients were performed.Blood routine examinations, hepatorenal function and ECG were monitored.CT SCan was employed for ICH and drug relative hemorrhage and adverse drug reaction( ADR) were recorded in detail.Results After treatment, 2 groups of NIHSS, BI score, blood rheology index, NSE level compared with before treatment improved significantly, the difference was significant (P<0.05).NSE, hemorheology and total effective rate of the observation group were better than the control group(P<0.05).The clinical total effective rate was 93.3% in treatment group and 76.6% in control group (P<0.05).During therapy period, There was no adverse reaction in 2 groups.Conclusion Joint application of Monosialotetrahexosylganglioside Sodium and the Vinpocetine is safe and effective in treating patients with acute cerebral infarction, through improving the clinical neurological deficits, blood rheology indicators and activity of daily living.
ABSTRACT
Objective The purpose of this article was to investigate the internal tunnel position during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with single-bundle ACL. Methods MRI were performed in 10 knees form 10 volunteers at full extension and at 30°, 60°, 90°, and 120° flexion position. All the images obtained were exported into Mimics 10.01. Three-dimensional models were established with Mimics in a computer. All the mark points were confirmed on femur and tibia. The distance between the femoral mark point and tibial mark point was measured. The isometric point was determined as the change in the distance was shorter than 3mm during knee flexion-extension. Results Ten three-dimensional models were established successfully and the isometric points of A0-X, A15-X, A30-X, A45-X, B0-Y, B15-Y, B30-Y, B45-Y, C0-Z, C15-Z, C30-Z, C45-Z, and C60-Z were identified. Conclusion There was no absolute anatomical isometric point, whereas the physiological isometric point did exist. Therefore, determination of tibial point should be considered synthetically. B45-Y was recommended for tunnel position.
