[Progress on tendon-to-bone healing after rotator cuff repair].

Rotator cuff tear is a common disease that causes shoulder pain and limitation of activity. Rotator cuff repair with arthroscope has become the mainstream method with advance in surgical techniques. In spite of this, the highly rate of retear after surgery mainly because the tendon to bone interface form scar tissue rather than native tissue.

[Retrospective analysis on total hip arthroplasty for the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip in 29 adults].

Objective: To study the results of the total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) with severe osteoarthritis in adults.

Methods: From March 2004 to February 2011, 29 patients (32 hips) with DDH were treated by THA with an cementless cup. There were 11 males and 18 females,with an average age of 52.

[Auxiliary treatment of HBV correlated hepatic failure by Chinese herbs: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials].

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Chinese herbs as an adjuvant treatment for hepatitis virus B (HBV)-related hepatic failure.

Methods: Data were retrieved through the Cochrane Hepato-Biliary Group Controlled Trials Register, The Cochrane Library, PubMed, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Database, and ChiCTR by key words or free words such as hepatic failure, severe hepatitis, HBV, Chinese medicine, randomization, and control. Appendix references of related papers were taken as supplementary indices.

[Effect of Jingang Jiangu pill (see text) on expression of integrin beta1 and alphavbeta3 in ovariectomized osteoporosis model rats].

Objective: To investigate the regulatory effect of Jingang Jiangu pill (see text, JGJG) on expression of integrin in ovariectomized rats.

Methods: Fifty ovariectomized 10 months old female rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: Fushanmei group (FSM), Jingang Jiangu pill (see text) group (JGJG), Gusongbao granule group (GSB), Model group (OVX), Sham group. After ovariectomized,the rats were raised in the same environment for 13 weeks.

[Study on the functions of peripheral dendritic cells in chronic hepatitis B virus infection patients of Gan-depression Pi-deficiency syndrome and Gan-Dan damp-heat syndrome under different immune states].

Objective: To observe the functions of peripheral dendritic cells (DCs) in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection patients of Gan-depression Pi-deficiency syndrome (GPS) and Gan-Dan damp-heat syndrome (GDS) under different immune states, thus to study the features of the immune expressions of the two syndromes in chronic HBV infection, providing objective evidence for Chinese medicine syndrome typing.

Methods: The 40 chronic HBV patients were randomly assigned to two groups according to the immune state. Of them, there were 20 chronic HBV patients (under the condition of immune clearance; consisting of 10 patients of GPS and 10 of GDS) and 20 chronic HBV carriers (under the condition of immune tolerance; consisting of 10 patients of GPS and 10 of GDS).

[Effect of tianoan zhuangyang powder on the stAR protein expression of Leydig cells in model rats with partial androgen deficiency of aging male].

Objective: To observe the effect of Tiancan Zhuangyang Powder (TCZYP) on the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (stAR protein) expression of Leydig cells in model rats with partial androgen deficiency of aging male (PADAM).

Methods: PADAM rat model was prepared by cyclophosphamide induced reproductive system damage. Rats were randomly divided into four groups, i.
