[Short-term clinical efficacy observation of lesion removal, bone graft fusion, and external brace treatment for late-stage wrist tuberculosis].

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of lesion removal, bone grafting, fusion, and external fixation in the treatment of late-stage wrist tuberculosis.

Methods: From October 2015 to May 2019, 25 patients with late-stage wrist tuberculosis were treated using lesion removal, bone grafting, fusion, and external fixation. Among these patients, there were 14 males and 11 females, aged from 40 to 74 years old, with an average age of (60.

Clinical efficacy of Gualou Xiaoyong Decoction and painless lactation manipulation in treating lactation acute mastitis and breast abscess: An observational study.

Information on the effects of Chinese medicine in the treatment of lactational acute mastitis and breast abscess is limited; thus, we conducted an observational study to analyze the clinical efficacy of Gualou Xiaoyong Decoction combined with painless lactation manipulation in the treatment of lactational acute mastitis and breast abscess. A total of 41 patients with lactational acute mastitis and breast abscess who were treated with Gualou Xiaoyong Decoction and painless lactation manipulation from October 2021 to October 2022 were included in this study. The age, fetal times(primiparous/multiparous), delivery mode (cesarean section/vaginal delivery), onset time, breast lump diameter, skin rash diameter, body temperature, visual analogue score, blood routine, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, bacterial culture in milk, B ultrasound and other data of these patients were statistically analyzed.

Mini-open anterior approach focal cleaning combined with posterior internal fixation for thoracolumbar tuberculosis: Follow-up of 149 cases.

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of mini-open anterior approach focal cleaning combined with posterior internal fixation for thoracolumbar tuberculosis.

Methods: A total of 149 patients with thoracolumbar tuberculosis were reviewed retrospectively and divided into 3 groups: mini-open anterior approach (group A), conventional anterior extraperitoneal approach (group B), and posterior approach (group C). After the operation, drainage tubes were routinely placed and the draining fluid was collected on the 4th day for the PCR detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA test (MTD), and Roche culture.

Treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis in elderly patients using percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy combined with postoperative three-dimensional traction.

Background: There were few previous studies about the use of percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) combined with postoperative three-dimensional traction in elderly patients with stenosis. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of PELD combined with postoperative three-dimensional traction in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis in elderly patients.

Methods: A total of 180 elderly patients with lumbar spinal stenosis were randomly divided into three groups: the traditional surgery group, PELD group (transforaminal approach), and PELD combined with postoperative three-dimensional traction group.

[Anterior small-incision focus debridement with posterior internal fixation for the treatment of lumbar spinal tuberculosis].

Objective: To explore clinical outcomes and advantages of anterior small-incision focus debridement with posterior internal fixation through muscle spa ring in treating patients with lumbar spinal tuberculosis.

Methods: From February 2010 to February 2014, totally 82 patients with lumbar spinal tuberculosis were treated by posterior individual fixation with small-incision focus debridement,including 50 males and 32 females with an average of 50.5 years old.

[Biomechanical study on different internal fixation methods of joint stability reconstruction of distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury].

Objective: To evaluate biomechanical properties in different methods of internal fixation combined with distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury, in order to provide a theoretical basis for clinical choice.

Methods: Six lower limbs specimens were collected and divided into 5 groups, including normal group, distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury (injury group), 3 cortexes group, 4 cortexes group and hook-plate fixation group. Neutral position, plantar flexion position (30°), dorsiflexion (20°) supination external rotation position of foot movement were simulated on universal materials tester.

[Percutaneous intervertebral foramina endoscopic lumbar discectomy decompression for elder patients with lumbar spinal stenosis syndrome].

Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of percutaneous intervertebral foramina endoscopic lumbar discectomy for elder patients with lumbar spinal stenosis syndrome.

Methods: From July 2006 to July 2011, 60 elder patients with lumbar spinal stenosis syndrome were treated with surgical operation, including 32 males and 28 females with an average age of (66.7 +/- 2.

[Experiment on articular cartilage defect repaired with autologous cancellous bone or cancellous bone enriching bone marrow stem cell].

Objective: To compare and evaluate the effect of autologous cancellous bone and cancellous bone enriching bone marrow stem cell for the repairing the defects of articular cartilage, and purpose the experimental basis for clinical application.

Methods: By using the completely random design, 16 adult rabbits were divided into two groups randomly. Autologous cancellous bone and cancellous bone enriching bone marrow stem cells were applied for repairing size-matched, full-thickness articular cartilage defects on the femoral condyle of the knees.
