[Effect of acupuncture exercise therapy synchronizing isokinetic muscle strength training for postoperative rehabilitation of meniscectomy under arthroscopy].

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of acupuncture exercise therapy synchronizing isokinetic muscle strength training on the motor function, stability and proprioception of knee joint, as well as the anxiety emotion in patients after meniscectomy under arthroscopy. METHODS: A total of 70 patients after meniscectomy under arthroscopy were randomized into an observation group (35 cases, 2 cases were eliminated， 2 cases dropped off) and a control group (35 cases, 2 cases were eliminated, 1 case dropped off). Acupuncture was applied at Chize (LU 5), Neixiyan (EX-LE 4), Dubi (ST 35),Yanglingquan (GB 34), etc. on the affective side in the two groups. After 30 min, the needles of the knee joint area were withdrew, while the needle at elbow was continuously retained, the observation group was given acupuncture exercise therapy synchronizing isokinetic muscle strength training, and the control group was given conventional acupuncture exercise therapy. The treatment was given once a day, 7-day treatment was taken as one course, and totally 4 courses were required in the two groups. Before and after treatment, the knee joint Lysholm score, the knee joint isokinetic muscle strength flexion/extension ratio (H/Q), joint position sense measurement (JPS) and Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) score were compared in the two groups. RESULTS: After treatment, the knee joint Lysholm scores and H/Q were increased compared with those before treatment in the two groups (P<0.001), and the knee joint Lysholm score and H/Q in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.001); the JPS and HAMA scores were decreased compared with those before treatment in the two groups (P<0.001), the JPS and HAMA score in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Acupuncture exercise therapy synchronizing isokinetic muscle strength training can effectively improve the motor function, stability and proprioception of knee joint, as well as the anxiety emotion in patients after meniscectomy under arthroscopy.

[Genetic diversity of D-genome revealed by SSR markers in synthesized hexaploid wheat introduced from CIMMYT].

Simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular marker was used to measure the genetic diversity of D-genome in 26 synthesized hexaploid wheat (AABBDD) introduced from CIMMYT. Twenty-three D-genome specific SSR primers were selected for PCR amplification, among which 22 primers can detect polymorphism. A total of 92 alleles were identified at 23 loci using the above SSR primers, with an average of 4 alleles per locus. The 92 alleles were used to calculate Nei's similarity index (GS) and the genetic distance (GD). It was also found that the mean genetic distance between 26 synthesized hexaploid wheat was 0.4955, which was obviously high. From the above results, it can be indicated that the genetic variation of D-genome in synthesized hexaploid wheat was abundant and could be used to improve the genetic diversity in wheat breeding. Interestingly, synthesized hexaploid wheat 17 and 18 shared the same D-genome donor, but three of 23 detected SSR loci were polymorphic between the two materials. Therefore, during the period of allopolyploidization, there was genetic differentiation in repeat region of donor genome.
