[Clinical analysis of distal radius core decompression for chronic wrist pain].

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of distal radius core decompression in the treatment of chronic wrist pain caused by various etiologies.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 10 patients with chronic wrist pain treated with distal radial core decompression between January 2018 and December 2021. There were 6 males and 4 females with an average age of 37.

A decision-support system for recycling of residents' waste plastics in China based on material flow analysis and life cycle assessment.

Recycling waste plastics is one of the important ways to save petroleum resources and reduce carbon emissions. However, the current recycling rate of waste plastics is still low. Material flow analysis can help determine the flow of waste plastics, and life cycle assessment (LCA) can be used to quantify environmental impacts.

Carbon emission structure decomposition analysis of manufacturing industry from the perspective of input-output subsystem: a case study of China.

In China, manufacturing is the industry that consumes the most energy and emits the most carbon, and the effect of emission reduction on the process of reaching carbon peaking and carbon neutrality is decisive. The existing research on the driving factors of manufacturing carbon emissions has not analyzed the specific structural characteristics of manufacturing carbon emissions from the perspective of industrial relevance, and little attention has been paid to the discussion of carbon emission reduction paths of different manufacturing sectors from the perspective of final demand. This study examines the direct carbon emissions and carbon emissions from final demand in China's manufacturing sector, and decomposes the carbon emissions from final demand into six distinct components using input-output analysis.

Inflammation and apoptosis accelerate progression to irreversible atrophy in denervated intrinsic muscles of the hand compared with biceps: proteomic analysis of a rat model of obstetric brachial plexus palsy.

In treating patients with obstetric brachial plexus palsy, we noticed that denervated intrinsic muscles of the hand become irreversibly atrophic at a faster than denervated biceps. In a rat model of obstetric brachial plexus palsy, denervated intrinsic musculature of the forepaw entered the irreversible atrophy far earlier than denervated biceps. In this study, isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation were examined in the intrinsic musculature of forepaw and biceps on denervated and normal sides at 3 and 5 weeks to identify dysregulated proteins.

Transfers of the Ipsilateral C7 Plus the Spinal Accessory Nerve Versus Triple Nerve Transfers for Treatment of C5-C6 Avulsion of the Brachial Plexus.

Purpose: To compare the long-term results of transfers of the ipsilateral C7 (IC7) plus spinal accessory nerve (SAN) with those of triple nerve transfers (TNT) using one fascicle of the ulnar nerve to the biceps motor branch (Oberlin's procedure), SAN transferred to the suprascapular nerve, and transfer of the long head of triceps nerve branch to the anterior branch of axillary nerve to treat C5-C6 avulsion of the brachial plexus.

Methods: The IC7 group included 9 patients undergoing transfers of IC7 to the upper trunk and SAN to the suprascapular nerve. Median age at surgery was 26 years and interval between injury and surgery was 2.

mRNA expression characteristics are different in irreversibly atrophic intrinsic muscles of the forepaw compared with reversibly atrophic biceps in a rat model of obstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBPP).

In obstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBPP), irreversible muscle atrophy occurs much faster in intrinsic muscles of the hand than in the biceps. To elucidate the mechanisms involved, mRNA expression profiles of denervated intrinsic muscles of the forepaw (IMF) and denervated biceps were determined by microarray using the rat model of OBPP where atrophy of IMF is irreversible while atrophy of biceps is reversible. Relative to contralateral control, 446 dysregulated mRNAs were detected in denervated IMF and mapped to 51 KEGG pathways, and 830 dysregulated mRNAs were detected in denervated biceps and mapped to 52 KEGG pathways.

[Acupuncture combined with auricle cutting method for blood stasis-type psoriasis: a randomized controlled trial].

Objective: To verify the clinical efficacy of acupuncture combined with auricle cutting method for treatment of blood stasis-type psoriasis.

Methods: Fifty-six cases of blood stasis-type psoriasis were randomly divided into a combined therapy group, a auricle cutting group, an acupuncture group and a control group, 14 cases in each one. Based on regular treatment of TCM decoction in four groups, the combined therapy group was treated with acupuncture and auricle cutting method, and the auricle cutting group was treated with sham-acupuncture and auricle cutting, and the acupuncture group was treated with acupuncture and sham auricle cutting, and the control group was treated with sham-acupuncture and sham auricle cutting.

A rat model study of atrophy of denervated musculature of the hand being faster than that of denervated muscles of the arm.

There are no biological marks to indicate if denervated muscle atrophy after nerve injury is irreversible. Clinically in obstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBPP), atrophy of denervated intrinsic musculature of the hand is much faster to irreversible than that of denervated muscles of the arm. 64 pup rats whose C5C6 had been divided and C7C8T1 avulsed, were divided equally into the reconstruction and control groups.
