Objective: To study the clinical application of Jintian'ge capsule in treatment of vertebral compression fracture after operation in senile osteoporosis patients. Methods: In this study, 136 senile osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture patients hospitalized in our hospital between 2013.01 and 2015.01 were selected and randomly divided into the control group and the treatment group. Patients in the control group were treated by PVP+ anti osteoporosis treatment, while those in the treatment group were given Jintian'ge capsule in addition to those. All patients received at least 12 months fellow up. Clinical outcomes were evaluated by VAS, bone density, lumbar vertebral function and hepatic and renal function test. Results: The VAS score, bone density and lumbar function of the patients were significantly better than pre-operation, and there was significantly difference between two groups too (P<0.05). There was no difference between two groups in the hepatic and renal function test and the complication. Conclusions: Jintian'ge capsule is applicable in adjuvant therapy after the osteoporotic vertebral compression facture after PVP surgery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective： To compare the clinical, radiological outcomes and complication of unilateral pedicle screw (UPS) versus bilateral pedicle screw (BPS) in degenerative lumbar diseases after MIS-TLIF. Methods： In this study, we retrospectively analyzed 96 consecutive patients who had two-level MIS-TLIF at IA/L5 and L5/S1 from January 2012 to January 2016 and the clinical and radiological outcome and the complication were compared. Of the 96 patients for analysis, 44 patients underwent unilateral fixation, and 52 patients underwent bilateral fixation. All patients received at least 12 months fellow up. Clinical outcomes were evaluated by VAS, ODI, fusion rate, operation idex and complication. Results： There was no statistically significant difference in baseline demographic characteristics between the two groups (P>0.05). There was a significantly longer operating time, more blood loss and X-ray exposure times in BPS comparing with UPS (P<0.05). Clinical outcomes in two groups such as the pain (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) improved significantly after surgery (P<0.05) and no difference was found between them (P>0.05). No significant difference was found in fusion rate and total complication rate between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions： There was no significant difference between the two fixation methods of MIS-TLIF in clinical outcomes and complications. However, unilateral pedicle screw has some superiorities such as shorter operating time, lower cost, less blood loss and X-ray exposure. Unilateral pedicle screw might be more suitable in performing two-level pedicle screw fixation after MIS-TLIF. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of using buprenorphine transdermal patch in the treatment of patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods: 112 cases of knee osteoarthritis were divided into 2 groups: the experimental group (n=56) was treated with a total of two patches of buprenorphine (5 mg) transdermal patch on the outside of upper arm, and each patch had been kept for 7 days. The control group (n=56) was given 20 mg celecoxib orally twice daily for two weeks. patients were standardized using analgesics according to the VAS score. McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and adverse reactions. Results: 112 cases of knee osteoarthritis patients were observed. The visual analog scale (VAS) reported by patients in the experimental group and the control group were significantly decreased after two weeks treatment (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference between 2 groups. The WOMAC score in the experiment group and the control group were significantly decreased after the treatment (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). There was no significant difference between 2 groups in complication and adverse reactions. Conclusions: Buprenorphine transdermal patches is at least as effective as celecoxib in treating knee osteoarthritis which could be further used in clinic therapy because of its easy using.
