Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most serious form of stroke and has limited available therapeutic options. As knowledge on ICH rapidly develops, cutting-edge techniques in the fields of surgical robots, regenerative medicine, and neurorehabilitation may revolutionize ICH treatment. However, these new advances still must be translated into clinical practice.

The collaborative robot can complete various drilling tasks in complex processing environments thanks to the high flexibility, small size and high load ratio. However, the inherent weaknesses of low rigidity and variable rigidity in robots bring detrimental effects to surface quality and drilling efficiency. Effective online monitoring of the drilling quality is critical to achieve high performance robotic drilling.

Research on triptolide, a diterpenoid epoxide found in the Thunder God Vine Tripterygium wilfordii, has increased our knowledge of the pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, toxicology and clinical application of this agent. In the present study, we aimed to identify the effects of triptolide on the apoptosis of osteosarcoma cells and to evaluate the anti-proliferative action of this agent. MG-63 cells were treated either with various doses of triptolide (50, 100 or 200 nM) or DMSO for 6, 12 and 24 h.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of naringin on osteoclastogenesis and osteolysis both in vitro and in vivo.

Methods: In this research osteoclasts were generated from mouse bone marrow monocytes with the receptor activator of NF-КB ligand and the macrophage colony stimulating factor. Naringin, at a concentration of 1, 10, 50, and 100 μg/mL, was respectively added to the medium.

Objective: To study and compare the difference on the therapeutical effectiveness between paper splint adduction fixation and plaster abduction fixation in Bennett fracture.

Methods: In the study, seventy outpatient were selected from October 2005 to April 2007, and devided into two groups randomly involving experiment group (35 cases with paper splint adduction fixation) and control group (35 cases with plaster abduction fixation). After the fracture clinical healed and removed fixation, the patients had been followed up 6 months.

Objective: To probe the recovery mechanism of Zhenggu powder (ZGP) on acute soft tissue injury in cell levels.

Methods: Forty rabbits which established animal model of acute soft tissue injury with hammer hitting,were divided randomly into normal group (A), model group (B), vaseline group (C)and ZGP group (D). Injured part was applied external drug daily after model was made.
