Background: Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) is the most common complication of osteoporosis, however, debate persists over which procedure of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) or balloon kyphoplasty (BKP) is a better treatment. We performed a metaanalysis of prospective, randomized controlled and clinical controlled trials of PVP and BKP to determine the efficacy and safety for the treatment of OVCFs to reach a relatively conclusive answer.
Materials And Methods: We searched computerized databases comparing efficacy and safety of PVP and BKP in osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.
Objective: To compare the clinical effects of three methods of internal fixations in treating intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients.
Methods: From 2004 to 2008, the clinical data of 112 patients with intertrochanteric fractures were retrospectively analyzed. There were 63 males and 49 females, aged from 60 to 80 years with an average of 66.

Objective: To analyze the imaging characteristics of coronary arteries with total occlusion (TO) lesions shown by dual-source computed tomography CT (DSCT) coronary angiography.
Method: The clinical data of patients who were diagnosed as coronary heart disease together with total occlusion lesions between March 2008 and March 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: In a cohort of 140 patients with 152 TO lesions, TO vessels in right coronary artery, left anterior descending artery, left circumflex coronary artery, or left main coronary artery were 68, 48, 20, and 1, respectively.

Objective: To study the effects of 16-multi-detector row CT (MDCT) aortography with lower tube current in diagnosis of aortic diseases.
Methods: The study was conducted in 2 steps. In the first step, 58 patients with suspicious aortic disease or after operation on the aorta underwent 16-MDCT aortography for 70 times.

Objective: To retrospectively analyze the influence of preoperative range of motion (ROM) and maximal flexion degree on the early clinical outcome of total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
Methods: From January 2000 to December 2003, 97 knees of 65 patients that were underwent total knee arthroplasty with Scorpio posterior-stabilized knee prosthesis were reviewed. There were 55 osteoarthritis patients (81 knees), and 10 rheumatoid arthritis (16 knees).

Objective: To study the effect of Jiangu granule (JGG) on quality of bone in model rats with osteoporosis.
Methods: Osteoporosis model was established by means of ovariectomy. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured with dual energy X-ray densitometry.
