[Clinical observation of acupuncture at tendon blockage point of quadriceps femoris muscle belly for patella femoral arthritis].

Objective: To evaluate the clinical effect of acupuncture at tendon blockage point of quadriceps femoris muscle belly for mild to moderate patella femoral arthritis.

Methods: A total of 76 patients with mild to moderate patella femoral arthritis were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 38 cases in each group. The patients in the observation group were treated with acupuncture at tendon blockage point of quadriceps femoris muscle belly, and the needles were stayed for 20 min each time for twice a week; while the patients in the control group were treated with sodium hyaluronate injection into articular cavity, once a week, and both groups were treated for 4 weeks.

[Construction and simulation mechanical analysis of dynamic knee joint finite element model based on CT image].

Objective: To construct a dynamic knee joint finite element model based on CT image data and verify the validity of the model. To provide a simulation model and basic data for biomechanical research of the knee joint by further finite element analysis.

Methods: The CT data of a healthy male knee joint was selected.

[Stiletto needle combined with massotherapy for pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis].

Objective: To compare the clinical effect between Stiletto needle combined with massotherapy and articular injection of sodium hyaluronate for pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).

Methods: A total of 156 patients with KOA were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 78 cases in each group. The patients in the observation group were treated with Stiletto needle (once a week) combined with massotherapy (twice a week); the patients in the control group were treated with articular injection of sodium hyaluronate (once a week).

[Clinical effects of rehabilitation exercise in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis based on the theory of "treating muscle for bone"].

Objective: To study the efficacy and safety of voluntary rehabilitation exercise in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis, based on the traditional Chinese medicine theory of "treating muscle for bone".

Methods: Ninety participants with early knee osteoarthritis were randomly divided into experimental group (=45) and control group (=45). Patients in experimental group were treated with voluntary rehabilitation exercise combined with isometric extension of quadriceps femoris.

[Research of TCM synthetic rehabilitation on the recovery of wrist joint after distal radius fractures].

Objective: To evaluate efficacy and advantages of the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) synthetic rehabilitation therapy in the treatment of wrist dysfunction after distal radius fractures.

Methods: From May 2014 to October 2015, 72 patients with distal radius fracture meeting standards were treated using central randomization system for clinical research. All the patients were divided into two groups: 36 patients in test group and 36 in control group.

[Thinking of therapeutic mechanism of small knife needle in treating closed myofascitis].

The authors investigated and discussed therapeutic mechanism of small knife needle in treating closed myofascitis on the basis of pathomechanism of modern medicine and acupuncture theory of TCM among numbers of clinical cases and experimental data. Therapeutic mechanism lies in 6 aspects: (1) Relieve the energy crisis of tenderness point on muscular fasciae; (2) Affect nervous system and reduce induction of harmful stimulating signal; (3) Inhibit aseptic inflammatory reaction on muscular fasciae; (4) Regulate dynamic equilibrium of soft tissue by cutting scar and releasing the conglutination; (5) Increase patients' regional threshold of feeling; (6) Reduce tension and pressure of soft tissue of tenderness point so as to relieve extrusion of nervus cutaneous.

[Case-control study on the treatment of patients with scapular muscle fasciitis by Pizhen].

Objective: To evaluate and analyze the mechanism of Pizhen for the treatment of patients with scapular muscle fasciitis.

Methods: One hundred and sixteen patients were divided into two groups according to random number table method, 58 cases in the treatment group and 58 cases in the control group. After treatment, 109 patients were followed up, and 7 patients lost follow-up (2 cases in the treatment group and 5 patients in the control group).

[Clinical evaluation of stiletto needle for pain of knee osteoarthritis].

Objective: To objectively evaluate the clinical efficacy of stiletto needle for pain of knee osteoarthri tis (KOA), and analyze its function mechanism.

Methods: Seventy-six cases of KOA (76 knees) were selected. Under the guide of Jingjin theory in TCM, stiletto needle was applied at pain point of Jingjin in extra-articular area to have a loose solution effect, 1 to 3 points were selected each time, 1 to 2 times of treatment were required.

[Case-control study on stiletto needle and Dichofenac Diethylammon for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis pain].

Objective: To investigate therapeutic effects of stiletto needle and Dichofenac Diethylammon in treating knee osteoarthritis pain at early and medium-term.

Methods: Sixty-seven patients with early and medium-term knee osteoarthritis were randomly divided into two groups, 34 cases in stiletto needle group (treatment group) and 33 cases in Dichofenac Diethylammon (control group). Among them, 60 patients finished treatment and followed-up for 1 months (7 cases fall off totally, 4 cases in treatment group and 3 cases in control group).

[Case-control study on the treatment of pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis by Pizhen].

Objective: To evaluate and analyze mechanism of Pizhen for the treatment of pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Methods: Eighty-five patients (85 knees) were divided into two groups according to random number table method. Among 35 patients in the experimental group, 6 patients were male and 29 patients were female, 1 patient lost follow-up, the average age was (56.
