Objective: To analyze the correlation between the hallux valgus angle and arch X-ray parameters change, plantar pressure by measuring the X-ray indexes and foot-pressure indexes in patients with hallux valgus, as well as to study the main cause factors for the pain under the second metatarsal head.
Methods: A retrospective study of 254 patients(477 feet) treated in Wangjing Hospital from January 2012 to June 2013 was performed. The pain under the second metatarsal head and age distribution were recorded.
Objective: To assess the clinical value of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of joint tuberculosis (TB).
Methods: PCR was used blindly to detect the DNA of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.TB) in five specimens of M.
Objective: To investigate the effect and safety of the hook needle knife for the treatment of stenosing tenovaginitis of flexor digitorum.
Methods: From September 2007 to September 2008, 60 outpatients with stenosing tenovaginitis of flexor digitorum were randomized divided into the treatment group and the control group, 30 cases in each group. Among the patients, 44 patients were female and 16 patients were male, aged from 34 to 69 years, averaged 56 years, the duration of disease ranged from 1 month to 1 year, averaged 3 months.
Objective: To observe and evaluate the long-term results of minimal incision osteotomy for hallux abducto valgus.
Methods: From February 1995 to May 1999, 372 cases (705 feet) with hallux abducto valgus were treated with minimal incision osteotomy. Seventy-nine patients (150 feet) were followed up for more than five years (mean 7.
Objective: To observe the effects of the three-period treatment theory of bone fracture in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) on VEGF and VEGF mRNA expression in the issues of outer periosteum, endosteum and bone marrow of rabbits, and to explore the rationality of phasing method in TCM in treating fracture.
Methods: 3 mm bone defection were made at lower one third part of both radius in 140 male healthy rabbits. The rabbits were randomly divided into four groups, including three-period treatment group (TTG), one-period treatment group(OTG), positive medicine treatment group(PTG) and model control group (MCG).
Objective: To study the role of PCR technique in detection of mycobacterium tuberculosis in the samples from joint tuberculosis, and to evaluate the clinical value of PCR in diagnosis of joint tuberculosis.
Methods: From June 1993 to August 2001, PCR was used to detect DNA of mycobacterium tuberculosis, and the standard culture was applied to detect mycobacterium tuberculosis. Mycobacterium tuberculosis were respectively blindly by the two techniques in the samples obtained from 95 patients with joint tuberculosis (55 males and 40 females, the age ranging from 2 to 75 years, with an average of 34 years).
Objective: To observe the short-term results of Swanson double-stem silicone implant arthroplasty in the treatment of late stage Freiberg disease.
Methods: From July 2006 to December 2007, Swanson double-stem silicone implant arthroplasty was performed on 13 patients, 11 male (1 foot) and 12 females (17 feet), suffering from late stage Freiberg diseases. All the cases were the second metatarsophalangeal joints.
Objective: To study therapeutic effects of capsulitis of little toe treated with minimal incisional osteotomy and manipulations procedures.
Methods: From 2003.7 to 2008.
Aim: To explore the therapeutic effectivity and the possible mechanism of triptolide (Tri) on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE).
Methods: All female C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into EAE group (28), Tri treated group (20) and adjuvant group (18). Mice in EAE and treated groups were immunized with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein peptides 35-55 (MOG(35-55);), adjuvant group was injected at the same time, but instead of MOG(35-55); with normal saline.
Objective: To observe pathological characteristic of bone and soft tissue of the medial aspect of the first metatarsal head in order to investigate the pathogenesis of hallux valgus.
Methods: One hundred and twenty-three patients with hallux valgus (235 feet) were obtained from August 2003 to December 2004 in our department. The bone and soft tissue of the medial aspect of the first metatarsal head were taken out from the incision.
Objective: To observe the effects of the three-period treatment theory of bone fracture in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) on VEGF and VEGF mRNA expression in the issues of callus of rabbits. And to explore the rationality of phasing method in TCM in treating fracture.
Method: one hundred and forty male and healthy rabbits were made 3 mm wide bone defection at lower one third part of both radius as fracture healing model.
Chondrogenic potential of human adipose derived stem cells (hASCs) makes them a possible source of seeding cells for cartilage tissue engineering. We aim to examine the chondrogenic differentiation of human transforming growth factor beta2 (hTGF beta2) transduced hASCs seeded in three-dimensional scaffold in vitro and in vivo. In this study, hASCs were isolated from human subcutaneous adipose tissue and transduced with a replication deficient adenovirus carrying hTGF beta2 (Ad5-hTGF beta2), and then the transduced cells were seeded and cultured in PLGA/alginate compounds.

Methods: hASC were isolated from subcutaneous adipose tissue and cultured in pellets with the addition of hTGF beta2. Chondrogenic differentiation was assayed by RT-PCR, Western blotting, toluidine blue staining, and immunohistochemistry staining for collagen type II.
Chondrogenic potential of human adipose derived stem cells (hASCs) makes them a possible source of seeding cells for cartilage tissue engineering. In this study, chondrogenic differentiation of hASCs induced by transduction with replication-deficient adenovirus carrying human transforming growth factor beta2 (Ad5-hTGF beta2) was demonstrated by RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry staining, biochemical and western blot analysis. To evaluate if the in vitro differentiated hASCs could keep their chondrocytic phenotype and produce neo-cartilage in vivo, predifferentiated hASCs were seeded in different scaffolds and implanted in subcutaneous pockets on the dorsum of nude mice.
