RESUMEN
BACKGROUND:Some patients still have unsatisfactory improvement of operative limb fatigue and pain after total knee arthroplasty.Clinical findings show that Jianpi Yiqi Huoxue Formula can promote recovery after total knee arthroplasty,but the specific efficacy remains to be studied. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of Jianpi Yiqi Huoxue Formula on the muscle strength and pain of the operated limb after the primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty. METHODS:A total of 74 patients undergoing primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty were randomly divided into a trial group and a control group with 37 patients in each group.All patients received the same prostheses and surgical methods during the operation.Patients in the control group were treated with routine analgesics,anticoagulant drugs and functional exercise after the operation.The trial group received Jianpi Yiqi Huoxue Formula after the treatment in the control group.Both groups were treated continuously and followed up for 1 month.The changes in isokinetic muscle strength(peak torque and total work amount of extensor and flexor),visual analog scale score and the hospital for special surgery score of the two groups were analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The trial group had better improvement in peak torque and total work amount of extensor and flexor and the hospital for special surgery score than the control group 14 days and 1 month after surgery(P<0.05).(2)In contrast to the control group,the visual analog scale score of the trial group improved better at 7 and 14 days and 1 month after surgery(P<0.05).(3)It is indicated that Jianpi Yiqi Huoxue Formula can effectively improve the muscle strength of the operated limb,enhance the degree of postoperative joint pain,and promote functional rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty.
RESUMEN
Krüppel-like factors (KLFs) play extremely important roles in genesis and development of tumors. Simultaneously, KLFs have been proven to affect the proliferation, differentiation and migration of hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Nine members in the KLFs family (KLF2, KLF4, KLF5, KLF6, KLF8, KLF9, KLF10, KLF14 and KLF17) are involved in the occurrence and development of hepatocellular carcinoma in various ways as an oncogene and tumor suppressor gene. Therefore, the KLFs family will hopefully become biological therapeutic targets for hepatocellular carcinoma.
RESUMEN
Objective To compare the therapeutic effect of rotating reduction manipulation with that of trinity orthopedic-spinal manipulation combined with injection of Shenmai Injection(SI) through intervertebral foramen for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation(LDH).Methods Ninety LDH patients were equally divided into 3 groups: group A received trinity orthopedic-spinal manipulation,group B received trinity orthopedic-spinal manipulation combined with injection of SI through intervertebral foramen,and group C received rotating reduction manipulation.Score of lower back pain,and scores of symptoms,signs and activities of daily life evaluated by the modified scale issued by Japanese Orthopaedics Association were examined for the comparison of therapeutic effect in the three groups.Results The score of lower back pain in the three groups after treatment differed from that before treatment(P
