ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effects of HeNe laser combined with ultrashort wave therapy on pain factors, anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory factors in patients with chronic knee osteoarthritis (KOA).Methods:Using prospective research methods, 108 patients with chronic KOA in Xicheng District Xichang′an Street Community Health Service Center from January 2018 to December 2019 were selected as the research objects, and randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 54 cases in each group. The control group was given shortwave treatment, while the observation group was given HeNe laser combined with ultra-short wave treatment. The clinical efficacy, levels of pain factors, anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory factors and knee function were compared between the two groups, and the pain factors including prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2), substance P (SP), dopamine (DA); the anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory factors including transforming growth factor β1 protein (TGF-β1), tumor necrosis factor-stimulating gene (TSG-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β). Results:The total effective rate of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group: 92.59% (50/54) vs. 75.93% (41/54), P<0.05. After treatment, the levels of PGE 2, SP, DA, TGF-β1, TSG-6, IL-10, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group: (2.50 ± 0.29) ng/L vs. (2.85 ± 0.32) ng/L, (1.55 ± 0.35) ng/L vs. (1.73 ± 0.36) ng/L, (12.46 ± 1.82) g/L vs. (15.25±2.20) g/L, (12.46 ± 2.06) μg/L vs. (15.58 ± 2.89) μg/L, (6.02 ± 0.89) ng/L vs. (6.84 ± 0.92) ng/L, (13.64 ± 2.92) ng/L vs. (16.50 ± 3.15) ng/L, (38.82 ± 7.15) ng/L vs. (47.05 ± 8.53) ng/L, (21.92 ± 4.19) ng/L vs. (25.41 ± 5.08) ng/L, (26.49 ± 6.74) ng/L vs. (31.53 ± 7.95) ng/L, P<0.05. After treatment, the levels of PGE2, SP, DA, TGF-β1, TSG-6, IL-10, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The excellent rate of knee function in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group: 87.04% (47/54) vs. 64.81% (35/54), P<0.05. Conclusions:For patients with chronic KOA, HeNe laser combined with ultrashort wave therapy has better clinical efficacy, which can relieve pain, regulate the imbalance of body factors and improve the function of knee joint.
ABSTRACT
Objective To determine intra-operative changes in blood coagulation and the applicability of SCA in liver transplantation. Methods Twenty-four patients with end-stage liver disease undergoing or-thotopic Liver transplantation (OLT) were studied. Arterial blood samples were drawn for determination of celite-activated TEG, glass bead-activated SCA and RCT at 6 intervals: before anesthesia induction (T0), 60 min after operation was started (T1), 30 miu in anhepatic phase (T2), 30 min in neohepatic phase (T3) ,120 min in neohepatic phase (T4) and the end of the operation (T5) ; the variables of TEG includ-ed: reaction time(R) ,coagulation time(K), alpha angles (α) and maximal amplitude (MA) ; the variables of SCA included: activated clotting time (ACT), clot rate (CR) and platelet function(PF) ;RCT included: Plt, PT, INR, APTT, Fbg. Results The Kappa values of SCA and TEG diagnosing the deficiency of blood coagulation factors, the gel formation speed of fibrin and the function of platelet were respectively 0.371 (P < 0.05) ,0. 363 (P < 0.05) ,0.438 (P < 0.05). gbACT and R, CR and α, PF and MA were positive-ly correlative (r = 0. 790, P < 0.05 ; r = 0. 766, P < 0. 05 ; r = 0. 502, P < 0.05 ; respectively) ; CR and K were negatively correlative(r = -0. 588,P <0.05). Compared with T0, PT, INR, gbACT and R were pro-longed, FBG, CR, α and MA were decreased at T3-5 (P < 0.05). APTT was prolonged at T1 ～ T5 (P < 0.05). K was prolonged at T3 (P < 0.05) and PF was decreased at T2 ～ T4. Conclusion SCA can exactly monitor changes of blood coagulation in liver transplantation.
