ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the efficacy of arthroscopic debridement followed by imrecoxib combined with sodium aescinate application in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.Methods:Ninety patients with knee osteoarthritis who received treatment in Lianshui County People's Hospital, China between February 2019 and February 2020 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to receive imrecoxib treatment (control group A, n = 30), sodium aescinate treatment (control group B, n = 30) or imrecoxib combined with sodium aescinate treatment (observation group, n = 30). The clinical efficacy of different treatment strategies was compared. Results:Total effective rate in the observation group [93.33% (28/30)] was significantly higher than that in the control group A [70.0% (21/30)] and control group B [76.67% (23/30)] ( χ2 = 9.615, P < 0.05). In the observation group, postoperative pain and knee joint inflammation were more greatly mitigated, and knee joint function was better recovered compared with the control groups A and B ( F = 4.124, 3.895, 4.879, all P < 0.05). In the observation group, interlekin-1 level was significantly lower and interleukin-1β was significantly higher than those in the control groups A and B ( F = 3.423, 2.362, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Arthroscopic debridement followed by imrecoxib combined with sodium aescinate application in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis has a positive effect on postoperative knee joint function recovery, comfort and reduction of inflammatory factors, which deserves clinical popularization.
ABSTRACT
As the complexity of samples and experimental processes, the repeatability of mass spectrometry experiments is still not satisfactory, the results of peptide identification and quantification show high randomicity), the probability of peptide being detected by mass spectrometry in proteome research, especially in quantitative proteomic study, has received much attention. Therefore, a lot of experimental researches have been done, as well as a number of computational prediction methods have been developed. In this article, we summarized the important factors impacting the peptide detectability, investigated the existing prediction methods) and reviewed their applications in experimental study.
ABSTRACT
A sagittal plane model of knee joint based on crossed-four-bar-linkage-based tibiofemoral joint model has been developed using geometric and force equilibrium constraints. The model predicts and explains the movement of contact point on the patella and femur, variation of patellar and patellar tendon angle, variation of patellar mechanism angle and variation of patellofemoral contact force and patellar tendon force. The computed results agree well with the published experimental results.

Objective: To determine the overlapping area of the femoral condyle facet on which the patellofemoral and tibiofemoral joint surfaces move and to measure the pressures on such area in order to better design the length of femoral trochlea prosthesis in patellofemoral arthroplasty. Methods: Eight fresh cadaver knees were mounted on Instron 8501 biomechanics tester,and simulated physiologically weight-bearing situation of knee from standing to flexion position. Such overlapping area was drawed up with stain method and the contact pressures were measured with Fuji pressure film. Results: There existed an overlapping contact area on the femoral condyle facet within the patellofemoral contact area when knee flexion was 75? or larger. The tibiofemoral contact pressure was higher than the patellofemoral pressure in the area. Conclusion: The femoral trocher prosthesis should cover the whole contact area of patellofemoral joint.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compared the posterior slop between tibial plateau and meniscus in Chinese population for determining the angle of tibial osteotomy during total knee replacement(TKA).Methods Posterior slop of tibial plateau and meniscus in sixty Chinese volunteers were measured on sagital view of MRI image.Results The values of posterior slop of tibial plateau and meniscus were 9.87??1.56?and 0.96??0.09?,respectively.The two angle revealed remarkable difference (P
