@#Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of balance cupping therapy on non-specific low back pain.Methods 75 patients with non-specific low back pain were randomly divided into the control group (n=25), cupping therapy group (n=25) and balance cupping therapy group (n=25). The patients in the control group were received diclofenac sodium enteric-coated capsule; the cases in other two groups were treated with cupping therapy and balance cupping therapy separately. After 3 weeks' treatment, the changes of the visual analogous scores and Oswestry disability index of two groups' patients were observed.Results The visual analogous scores and Oswestry disability index of the balance cupping therapy group were significantly lower than that of the control group and cupping therapy group ( P<0.05) after 3 weeks' treatment. But between the control group and cupping therapy group there was no difference.Conclusion Balance cupping therapy is one of effective treatment methods for non-specific low back pain.

[Objective]To explore the therapeutic effects of angelica and sodium ferulate (SF) on experimental osteoarthritis and the related mechanisms in rats. [Method]Animal models of osteoarthritis were established in 40 rats by intra-articular injection of 4% papain. The rats were divided into five groups-model control group,25% and 5% angelica treatment groups, 0.5% and 0.1% SF treatment groups.Another additional 8 rats were used as normal control. Bilateral knees of the animalsin the treatment groups began receiving intra-articular injection of 0.1ml angelica injection or SF of corresponding concentration respectively every 3 days while those of the animals in the control groups received saline. All the animals were sacrificed 6 weeks later and samples of the cartilage, plasma and synovial fluid were taken. The contents of MDA and the activities of SOD in the plasma and synovial fluid were detected.Histological examinations of the cartilage were performed and immunohistochemical analyses for MMP-1, TIMP-1, Bcl-2 and Bax in the cartilage were done.[Result]25% Angelica and 0.5% SF significantly decreased the levels of MDA in both plasma and synovial fluid (P
