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.

Effect of benvitimod on allergic contact dermatitis in BALB/c mice / 中华皮肤科杂志

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of benvitimod on allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) in a mouse model of allergic contact dermatitis.Methods Acute and chronic ACD models were established respectively in 42 BALB/c mice through 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB) sensitization and challenge.Then,the BALB/c mice were equally divided into 7 groups with 6 mice in every group:normal control group receiving no treatment,five treatment groups topically treated with 0.1％ dexamethasone solution,0.1％ tacrolimus (FK506) solution,0.5％ benvitimod solution,1.0％ benvitimod solution and 2.0 ％ benvitimod solution respectively,and dehydrated alcohol group treated with dehydrated alcohol only.All the drug solutions were topically applied at 24 and 36 hours after the last challenge in the murine models of acute ACD which were sacrificed at 48 hours,and twice daily from day 7 to 21 after the initial sensitization in the murine models of chronic ACD which were sacrificed on day 21 after the first topical treatment.Ear tissues were obtained from these mice and subjected to measurement of ear thickness and weight,as well as pathological examination and evaluation of inflammatory infiltrate by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining.The safety of these drugs was also estimated at the end of treatment.Results In the murine models of acute ACD,benvitimod showed no obvious therapeutic effect at 24 hours,with no significant differences in bilateral difference in ear thickness or weight between the three benvitimod groups and dehydrated alcohol group (all P ＞ 0.05).Meanwhile,in the murine models of chronic ACD,benvitimod markedly decreased the swelling degree of ears,with significant differences between the three benvitimod groups (0.5％,1.0％ and 2.0％) and dehydrated alcohol group in bilateral difference in ear thickness ((71.50 ± 3.15) × 10-3 mm,(75.50 ± 3.02) × 10-3 mm and (69.50 ± 2.59) × 10-3 mm vs.(91.83 ± 2.04) × 10-3 mm,all P＜ 0.01) and weight ((2.33 ± 0.45) mg,(2.30 ± 0.57) mg and (2.38 ± 0.27) mg vs.(3.73 ± 0.33) mg,all P ＜ 0.01) after 3 weeks of treatment.The inflammatory infiltration in ear tissue was significantly attenuated in murine models of both acute and chronic ACD by the three concentrations of benvitimod compared with dehydrated alcohol (all P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Topical benvitimod can inhibit chronic ACD in mice induced by 2,4-DNFB,but exhibits no obvious effect on acute ACD.No apparent local adverse effects were observed during the treatment with benvitimod in these mice.

Protective effects of sodium ferulate in vascular endothelial function during cardiopulmonary bypass / 中华胸心血管外科杂志

ObjectiveCardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and its related ischemia reperfusion injury may cause endothelial cell injury.To study the protective effects of sodium ferulate in vascular endothelial function during CPB by testing the changes of vascular endothelial cell( CEC),nitric oxide( NO) and endothelin-1 ( ET-1 ) in children with congenital heart disease.MethodsSixty patients with congenital heart disease,including 28 males and 32 females were studied.The mean age was (19.7 ±10.4) months and body weight (10.5 ±6.1) kg.There were 37 VSD,8 ASD,7 TOF,5 TAPVC and 3 CAVC,among them 26 patients had pulmonary hypertension.They were randomly divided in to two groups:sodium ferulate group ( group S,n = 30),and control group ( group C,n =30) .Sodium ferulate (8 mg/kg) was given intravenously before CPB.Blood samples were taken from the arterial line at following time points:before CPB (TO),bypass 30 min(Tl ),the termination of CPB (T2 ),2h after operation ( T3 ) and 6h after operation ( T4 ),respectively for determination the concentration of vascular endothelial cell (CEC) in the blood,the concentration of nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin-1 ( ET-1) in the plasma.ResultsThere were no significant difference for the two groups regarding above parameters at TO ( P > 0.05).The level of CEC was significantly elevated after CPB in both groups ( P < 0.05 ) .CEC were lower at T2 in group S than in group C ( P < 0.05 ) .NO was decreased in both groups,but was higher in group S at T2,T3 and T4 ( P < 0.05 ) .The concentration of plasma ET-1 was not significantly different before CPB,but there was a slight decrease at T1,and then it was significantly increased in both groups (P<0.05).But it was lower in group S than in group C at T1,T2,T3 and T4(P<0.05 orP<0.01).ConclusionThere was severe endothelial cell damage during CPB.Sodium Ferulate can effectively antagonize the secretion of ET-1 to promote the formation of NO.Therefore,it reduces CPB-induced endothelial cell damage and protects vascular endothelial function during CPB.

Arthroplasty of the knees with anatomical abnormality under navigation-assisted system / 中华创伤杂志

Objective To discuss the effect and advantage of the navigation-assisted system in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) of the knees with anatomical abnormality. Methods The study involved five patients with anatomical abnormality of the knees who were treated with arthroplasty under the navigation-assisted system from December 2007 to October 2008. Meanwhile, five patients with normal anatomy of the knees treated with total knee arthroplasty without using the navigation-assisted system were used as control. The α, β, γand δ angles were measured based on the X-ray images and the active range of the knee joint was determined. Results No complication caused by navigation occurred. There was no significant difference in the α, β, γ and δ angles between the two groups, but the range of extremum in the navigation group was less than that of the control group. The mean postoperative active range of the knee joint in the navigation group ( 112.67°) was higher than that of the control group ( 106.98° ), while the preoperative active range of the knee joint of the navigation group [(70.87 ± 10.87)°] was significantly lower than that of the control group [( 105.08 ± 30.67)°]. Conclusions Compared with conventional methods, navigation-assisted TKA showas no obvious advantage in short-term outcome but has great advantages in improving the accuracy and the joint movement, especially for the knees with anatomical abnormality.
