RESUMO
Objective:To observe the effect of Tuina(Chinese therapeutic massage)combined with functional training in improving clinical symptoms and balance function in patients with meniscus injury. Methods:A total of 93 patients with grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ meniscus injury were randomly divided into a functional training group,a Tuina group,and a combination group,with 31 cases in each group.The Tuina group received Tuina manipulation.The functional training group underwent functional training under the supervision of physicians.The combination group received Tuina manipulation in addition to the functional training.The treatment course of all three groups was 8 weeks.The clinical symptoms were observed before the intervention and after 4 and 8 weeks of interventions,and the changes in knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score(KOOS)and Y-balance test(YBT)were compared. Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the total response rate among the three groups after treatment(P>0.05).The total and subscale KOOS in the three groups were significantly higher than those before treatment after 4 and 8 weeks of interventions(P<0.05).There was a statistically significant difference in the total KOOS between the combination group and the functional training group after 4 and 8 weeks of interventions(P<0.05);there was a statistically significant difference in the score of daily living ability and sports and recreation function between the two groups after 8 weeks of interventions(P<0.05).The YBT balance coefficients of the affected and non-affected knees of the three groups were significantly improved after 4 and 8 weeks of interventions(P<0.05),and there was no statistically significant difference among the groups(P>0.05). Conclusion:Tuina,functional training,and their combination can improve clinical symptoms and balance function in patients with grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ meniscus injury.Tuina combined with functional training is significantly effective in improving daily living ability and sports and recreation function.
RESUMO
In recent years, pharmacological researches of Chinese medicine have found that single Chinese exterior-relieving medicines such as Pueraria, Semen Sojae Praeparatum and Cimicifuga had very good anti-osteoporosis effect. They can significantly improve the bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content(BMC), promote bone formation, and prevent bone absorption. Based on relative documents from home and abroad, this paper analyzed the current situation and provided new ideas and methods for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.
RESUMO
This paper introduces a first-aid system in allusion to cardiopathy patient based on mobile communication networks.It samples ECG data of the patient by mobile instrument and sends them to the nearest hospital.According to the data,doctors draw a treat plan and prepare for the treatment.Further more,this system can be used for the custody of the illness.
RESUMO
The ascorbic acid in plasma was determined on the basis of reduction of ferric to ferrous ion and its formation of a colored complex with batho-phenanthroline. This method was highly correlated to Roe's dinitrophe-nylhydrazine method in the determination of plasma ascorbic acid of 16 normal adults and the correlation coefficient was 0.90. By animal experiment the new method may be used to discriminate different levels of plasma ascorbic acid. It is rather simple and water bath is not required. Only 0.25ml of plasma is needed for each determination. So this method is useful in assessing the ascorbic acid nutriture in tield survey.
RESUMO
The free amino acid concentrations in serum were determined in 65 normal adults by use of the physiological fluid analysis in Hitachi 835-50 Model Amino Acid Autoanalyer. 29 specimens were determined by physiological fluid analysis and protein hydrolyzate analysis method simultaneous-ly.The results of Serine, Glycine, Valine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Tyrosine, Phenylalanine, Lysine, Tryptophan, Proline, and the molar ratio of the bran-ched-chain amino acids/aromatic amino acids were very similar. By hy-drolyzate method Aspartic acid was not detected and Threonine, Glutmic acid, Cystine, Methionine and Arginine were higher than physiological fluid analysis.The reasons for such higher values were discussed.
