[Short-term efficacy of digitally-assisted traditional Chinese medicine manual reduction combined with 3D printed splint in the treatment of AO type-A distal radius fractures].

Objective To explore the short-term efficacy of digitally-assisted traditional Chinese medicine manual reduction combined with 3D printed splint in the treatment of AO type-A distal radius fractures, and explore the quantification of traditional Chinese medicine manual reduction and personalized improvement of splinting. Methods The clinical data of 50 patients with AO type-A distal radius fractures, who received treatment at the outpatient department of Cangzhou Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital in Hebei Province, were retrospective analyzed. The patient cohort included 22 females and 28 males, with ages ranging from 25 to 75 years old.

Analgesic efficacy of postoperative bilateral, ultrasound-guided, posterior transversus abdominis plane block for laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery: a randomized, prospective, controlled study.

Background: We assessed whether a postoperative bilateral, ultrasound-guided, posterior transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block could reduce 24 h rescue tramadol requirement compared with placebo in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery.

Methods: Patients scheduled to undergo elective laparoscopic surgery following the diagnosis of colorectal cancer were included in this study and randomized into Group and Group Control. The patients received a postoperative bilateral, ultrasound-guided, posterior TAP block in either 20 mL of 0.

Fibula osteal flap with proximal peroneal perforator skin paddle for composite oromandibular reconstruction: A case report.

Rationale: Cutaneous perforators of peroneal vessels are divided into proximal and distal perforators on the basis of perforator distributions and musculocutaneous or septocutaneous properties. The traditional fibular osteocutaneous free flap is raised over the distal two-thirds of the fibula with a skin paddle based on distal perforators, which is affixed to the posterior crural septum. However, the skin pedicle may not be available due to anatomic variations or intraoperative injuries.

Metabolism of dl-praeruptorin A in rat liver microsomes using HPLC-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry.

dl-Praeruptorin A (Pd-Ia) is the major active constituent of the traditional Chinese medicine Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn. Recently it has been identified as a novel agent in the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Accordingly, we investigated the metabolism of Pd-Ia in rat liver microsomes.

[Clinical medicinal engineering support in disaster relief medicine].

Disaster Relief Medicine (DRM), a newly developed science, not only crosses Emergency Service and Critical Health Care, but also relates to other various fields such as Nursing, Clinical examination and Clinical Medicinal Engineering etc, all of which require competent Clinical Medicinal Engineers. Thus, a key subject of Clinical Engineering is to provide quality support to medical equipments, and to offer engineers educational training on this diverse science, in order to improve their professional and managerial skills. Based on DRM characteristics, specifically, based on our first hand experience during disaster relief effort in Wen-Chuan Earthquake, we documents our thoughts and discussion over the issues we found in above areas as listed in the article below.

[The expression of collagen I during mandibular fracture healing with the inferior alveolar nerve mutilated].

Objective: To establish a stable mandibular fracture model with inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) mutilated for exploring the IAN influence to the expression of collagen I during mandibular fracture.

Methods: Japanese white rabbits were selected and IAN was liberated. The right was leaven as it is and the left was cut off, then 2 mm x 5 mm fracture model was made, and HE staining and chromotropic acid 2R-bright green staining and in situ hybridization of collagen I mRNA were made to detect mandibular fracture healing and collagen I mRNA expression.

[A discussion on the difference between the set tide volume and the actual delivered tide volume in the respiratory care].

A discussion on the causes and managing methods of the difference between the set tide volume and the actual delivered tide volume during the respiratory care, is given in the paper and to help doctors and nurses to handle respiratory therapy on the basis of related people-machine engineering science principle and experimental analysis.

[Effects of efferent vagus nerve excitation on inflammatory response in heart tissue in rats with endotoxemia].

Objective: To study the effects of electrical stimulation of efferent vagus nerve on the inflammatory response in heart tissue in rats with endotoxemia.

Methods: Two hundred and ten Wistar rats were randomly divided into seven groups. Animals were subjected to bilateral cervical vagotomy, or a comparable sham surgical procedure in which the vagus nerves were isolated but not transected.
