[Expert consensus on Chinese external treatment protocol for acute external ankle ligament injury].

Acute lateral ankle ligament injuries represent a prevalent form of joint sports trauma, with their occurrence increasing alongside the expanding sports demographic. Inadequate initial management of these injuries can precipitate chronic pain, joint instability, and related complications, sometimes necessitating surgical intervention. Chinese medicine, renowned for its long history and extensive experience in treating ligament injuries, is frequently integrated with modern medical practices for a comprehensive treatment approach.

Clinical efficacy of arthroscopic single-bundle versus double-bundle reconstruction of the posterior cruciate ligament: a retrospective study.

Purpose: To compare the functional and clinical outcomes of knee joints in patients over a 10-year period following posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction with single-bundle versus double-bundle.

Methods: Patients who underwent PCL reconstruction were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the surgical approach, they were divided into the single-bundle reconstruction group and the double-bundle reconstruction group.

[Early clinical efficacy study on the efficacy of a three-stage conservative Chinese medicine external treatment for acute lateral ankle ligament injuries].

Objective: To evaluate the clinical effect of a new three-phase Chinese medicine (CM) external treatment for acute lateral ankle ligament injuries.

Methods: From July to December 2023, 64 patients with acute lateral ankle ligament injuries were randomly assigned to receive either the new three-phase CM external treatment combined with the POLICE(protect, optimal loading, ice, compression, elevation) treatment (observation group) or the POLICE treatment (control group), with 32 cases in each group. The observation group consisted of 17 males and 15 females, with an average age of(30.

Mechanism Exploration of Euphorbia fischeriana Steud. for Liver Cancer Based on Aspartic Acid Identification in Metabolomics.

Objective: To investigate the anti-liver cancer effects and aspartic acid (Asp)-related action mechanism of Euphorbia fischeriana Steud. (Lang Du, LD).

Methods: The mice model of liver cancer was established by injection of H22 cells.

Tribulus terrestris L. induces cell apoptosis of breast cancer by regulating sphingolipid metabolism signaling pathways.

Background: Tribulus terrestris L. (TT) was initially documented in Shen-Nong-Ben-Cao-Jing and has been used for thousands of years in China as a herb to calm liver, dispel melancholy and wind, promote blood circulation, improve eyesight, and relieve itching. Moreover, it was also used to treat breast cancer in ancient China.

Frequency of osteoporosis in Chinese patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a meta-analysis.

Objective: To evaluate the current frequency of osteoporosis (OP) in Chinese patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) through meta-analysis.

Methods: The databases of PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wan Fang, CBM, and VIP were searched for relevant literature regarding the occurrence of OP in Chinese patients with RA from January 1, 2000, to September 15, 2022. The literature was screened using inclusion and exclusion criteria, and qualifying articles were subjected to data extraction, quality evaluation, and meta-analysis using Stata 17.

[Identification of differentially expressed genes in rats and preliminary analysis in regression of vascular calcification].

Objective: To investigate the differentially expressed genes in rat in the process of regression of vascular calcification by using the suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH).

Methods: 24 SD male rats which aged 6 weeks and specific pathogen free grade were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 8): control group, calcification group and regression group respectively. Vascular calcification model (vitamin D3 plus nicotine, VDN) were made from rats in calcification group and regression group, and rats in control group were intragastric administered with normal saline and lavaged with peanut oil.

[The neurovascular anatomy and its clinical implication of the rectus femoris muscle].

Objective: The objective of this anatomic study was to investigate the intramuscular neurovascular configuration and to evaluate whether the muscle could be split into two functional units in transplantation.

Methods: Ten fresh cadavers and ten preserved cadavers were used in the study. A mixture of lead oxide, gelatin and water was injected to the femoral artery of the fresh cadaver.
