ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the clinical efficacy of excision of necrotic and infected tissues combined with induced membrane and external fixator technique to treat chronic osteomyelitis in tibia after fracture operation.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From June 2011 to June 2014, a total of 13 patients with tibia osteomyelitis were treated with excision of necrotic and infected tissues and external fixator technique in the first stage. There were 8 males and 5 females, ranging in age from 16 to 67 years old with an average of (37.3±14.3) years old. Within 6 to 8 weeks the induced membrane was formed and the induced membrane technique was applied to promote new bone forming in the second stage.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Thirteen patients had no reinfection and achieved complete bone healing after 24 to 52 months follow-up. All the patients had satisfactory function.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Excision of necrotic and infected tissues combined with induced membrane and external fixator technique to treat chronic osteomyelitis in tibia after fracture operation can provide satisfactory results.</p>
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study Chinese medicine syndrome features in sub-health insomnia patients, and to make clear the symptom compositions of each syndrome, thus providing references for main and minor symptoms selection, and establishing a syndrome differentiation system in clinical testing.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Chinese medicine syndrome information was collected by multi-centered large-sample clinical data. The information was statistically managed to get common syndrome types, symptoms compositions, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores of sub-health insomnia patients.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The most common symptoms of sub-health insomnia patients of yin deficiency fire hyperactivity syndrome and Xin-Pi deficiency syndrome cover difficulties in falling asleep, early awakening, dreaminess, sometimes sleeping sometimes awake, failing in falling into sleep when wake up, failing in sleep all night. There was insignificant difference between the two syndrome types (P>0.05). Some unique symptoms occurred in the two syndrome types as minor symptoms. Fatigue, abdominal distension after eating occurred in patients of Xin-Pi deficiency syndrome. Burning sensation of five centers, irritability, etc. occurred in patients of yin deficiency fire hyperactivity syndrome. Significant difference was shown in minor symptoms (except irritability, vexation, frequent urine) (P<0.05, P<0.01). No significant difference was shown in PSQI score between the two syndrome types (P>0.05). But significant difference was shown in sleep disturbance factors (P<0.05). Patients of yin deficiency fire hyperactivity syndrome had severe sleep disturbance factors.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>There was no significant difference in main symptoms between the two syndrome types. Some unique symptoms occurred in the two syndrome types as minor symptoms. There was difference in sleep quality compositions.</p>

@#ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of Jie-jing Mixture in treating spasticity of apoplectic hemiparalysis.Methods60 cases with spasticity of apoplectie hemipuralysis were divided into 2 groups.30 case for treatment group (routine treatment added by Jie-jing Mixture ) and 30 case for control (only receiving routine treatment ).ResultsThe effective rates was 86.7% (treatment group )and 33.3%(control group )with statistical significance ( P<0.01).Conclusions The Jie-jing Mixture has better effect in treating spastisticity of apoplectic hemiparalysis than that of the conventional therapy.
