[Correlation between serum ghrelin and liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide-2 with idiopathic short stature in children].

Objectives: To investigate the expression levels of ghrelin and liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide-2 (LEAP-2) in children with idiopathic short stature (ISS) to provide reference for further understanding the etiology of short stature.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted from December 2021 to October 2023, involving 46 children diagnosed with ISS (ISS group) and 46 healthy children with normal height (control group) at the First Affiliated Hospital of Shihezi University. General data and serum levels of ghrelin and LEAP-2 were compared between the two groups.

[Effect of heat-reinforcing needling on expression of serum inflammatory factors and autophagy of knee joint synovial tissue in rheumatoid arthritis rabbits with cold syndrome].

Objective: To observe the effect of heat-reinforcing needling on the expression of serum inflammatory factors and autophagy of knee synovial tissue in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) rabbits with cold syndrome, so as to explore its mechanism of anti-inflammatory in the treatment of RA.

Methods: Fifty rabbits were randomly divided into normal, model, heat-reinforcing needling, inhibitor and agonist groups (=10 rabbits in each group). The model of RA with cold syndrome was established by Freund's adjuvant and ovalbumin mixed solution injection combined with freezing and wind-cold dampness method.

[Comparison of the therapeutical effectiveness between paper splint adduction fixation and plaster abduction fixation in Bennett fracture].

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.
