METHODS: Fifty-two patients with knee OA, with an average age of 64, and having a symptom duration of more than 3 months were studied in this report. Placental extract was injected weekly into acupuncture point ST35, BL23, BL24 and BL25 for 5 weeks; 8 mL of placental extract into ST35 on the affected side, and 1 mL of placental extract to BL23, BL24 and BL25 bilaterally. RESULTS: After a five-week treatment of API with placental extract, pain was substantially decreased in patients of all Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grades. Improvement of knee joint swelling was also apparent Decrease of pain and joint swelling improved daily working productive time among patients of all KL grades. CONCLUSION: Study results imply that API with placental extract is a potentially useful therapy to control pain and maintain joint functions in knee OA patients.展开更多

The result indicates that the component ratio of the material is which PB exciting agent is 20%, complex reinforcing agent is 2%, complex expansion agent is 1%, and A-material is 77%. The performances of compressive strength, swelling ratio and expansion time are optimum. The light-paste material can effectively seal air leakage channels for preventing and extinguishing the spontaneous combustion of coal seam in coalmine.展开更多

Highly effective comples dispersing system was chosen and determined, and two-layer protection model was put forward to clarify the stable effect mechanism Varying the swelling time of CPE in AN and St monomer mixture, some results such as grafting effect, particle characteristics, rubber particle morphology and its size distribution, and properties of ACS resins were investigated , thus the optimum swelling time was proposed.展开更多
