Objective To compare the immediate effects of extracorporeal shock wave therapy with that of joint mobilization plus short wave therapy in treating scapulohumeral periarthritis, and to elucidate the mechanism of extracorporeal shock wave therapy and how it should be used. Methods Forty-seven patients diagnosed with scapulohumeral periarthritis were selected and randomized into two groups, a treatment group (n = 26) treated with extracorporeal shock wave therapy, and a control group ( n = 21 ) treated with joint mobilization plus short wave therapy. The short form of the McGill pain questionnaire (SF-MPQ) and range of motion (ROM) measurements were used to evaluate shoulder function. Results Compared with baseline, both groups improved significantly af-ter treatment, but the immediate effect in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group. Concln-sions As a safe, time-saving and effective therapy, extracorpnreal shock waves could be used to treat scapulo-humeral periarthritis.

Objective To compare the effect of botulinum toxin A(BTX-A)applied according to experi- ence with its effect when the application is guided by electrical stimulation on spasticity in the ankle plantarflexors of children with cerebral palsy(CP).Methods Forty-five children with CP were randomly assigned into 2 groups to receive injections of BTX-A guided by electrical stimulation,or injections of BTX-A guided by experience.All chil- dren received a local injection in the ankle plantar flexors.Physiotherapy and ankle-foot orthoses were applied by a physical therapist 3 days after the BTX-A injections.After the first 10 days,the therapy was administered by the patient's family.Clinical assessments included the patient's passive range of movement(PROM),scoring on the Ash- worth scale(MAS),the composite spasticity scale(CSS),and the D and E dimensions of the gross motor function measure(GMFM),and walking velocity(WV).Assessments were performed before treatment and at 3 days,2 weeks,1,2,and 3 months following the injection with BTX-A.Results All children showed significant decrease in spasticity(PROM,MAS and CSS)after 3 days.The improvement was maintained at 3 months.When compared with the results before the injection,the improvements in standing and walking(GMFM)and in walking velocity were statistically significant after 2 weeks of treatment for both groups,and were maintained at 3 months.The differences in PROM and CSS scores at 3 days,2 weeks,1,2,and 3 months following the injection were statistically significant between the 2 groups.Significant differences were also found between the 2 groups in MAS scores at 3 days,2 and 3 months after treatment,and in GMFM and WV at 2 and 3 months after treatment.Conclusions A BTX-A injec- tion,whether guided by electrical stimulation or experience,in combination with physiotherapy,can reduce spasticity in the ankle plantarflexors of ambulant children with CP and improve their functional performance.BTX-A injection guided by electrical stimulation was more effective than an injection guided by experience.

ObjectiveDouble-outlet right ventricle,which often associated with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection and complete endocardial cushion defects,has been considered a risk factor for biventricular repair procedure.To reviewed cases treated by biventricular repair for endocardial cushion defects with double outlet right ventricle.MethodsFrom July to November of 2009,6 patients (3 males and 3 females) aged from 7 to 24 (16.17±5.98) years and with endocardial cushion defects and double outlet right ventricle underwent operation of biventricular repair The duration of follow-up ranged from 10 days to 2 years(median,16 months).Endocardial cushion defects were repaired with a 2-patch technique.The artificial vascular patch was implanted to connect the ventricular septal defects and the aorta for draining the blood stream from the left ventricle to the aorta.The other patch was used to repair the ostium primum atrial septal defects.Right ventricular outflow tract obstructions was released and reconstructed by transplanting a bovine pericardium patch.If the size of pulmonary valve annulus was far more below the normal,a transannular pericardial patch was used.Rastelli procedure with a valved conduit between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery would be performed if the obstruction in the right ventricular outfolw tract was severe.ResultsOne death occurred 2 days after the operation,resulting in a mortality rate of 16.6%.The case,a boy of 7 years old,had a mirror-image dextrocardia,complete endocardial cushion defect ( C type),anomalous pulmonary venous drainage and single atrium.In this case,the operation lasted for 8 hours,acute renal failure happened next day to the operation,the effect of CRRT was unsatisfied,and eventually cardiac arrest occurred as a result of hyperkalemia.The remaining cases had survived.Follow-up examinations showed that the systolic pressure gradients across the pulmonary valves decreased,with a range of 14 to 40 mm Hg,(23.9 ± 11.03) mm Hg.Mild mitral and tricuspid regurgiration were identified in 4 cases and moderate mitral regurgitation was identified in one case.The cardiac function in all patients was classified as NYHA class Ⅰ/Ⅱ,Conclusion Endocardial cushion defects with double outlet right ventricle can be corrected by means of biventricular repair procedure.The procedure was associated with a low mortality,The interim life quality of patients may be improved.The longterm outcomes should be further studied.

Objective To compare the efficacy of the reforming endoscopic minimally invasive releasing(REMIR) with open procedure for treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome.Methods Senventy patients with unilateral carpal tunnel syndrome were randomly divided into REMIR group and open procedure group,with 35 cases in each group.Kelly's standard,two-point discrimination,operation time and complication occurrence were compared between the two groups.Results All patients were followed-up for 12 months.There was no significant difference in the therapeutic results and in the improvement of two-point discrimination between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05 ).The operation time of REMIR group was significantly shorter than the open procedure group ([ 10.03 ± 1.84] min vs [37.63 ±7.18]min,t =22.210,P ＜0.001 ).And there was no cases with scar tenderness in REMIR group while there was 7 cases in open procedure group.Conclusion Compared with the open procedure,the REMIR method has the same clinical efficacy while with the advantages of causing smaller skin scar and being less time consuming.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate clinical efficacy and safety of Teng medicine combined with Gongyankang granules in the treatment of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease(CPID). METHODS:A total of 141 CPID outpatients were selected from our hospital during Jul. 2015-Jun.2016,other patients were divided into control group(65 cases)and observation group(76 cases)ac-cording to random number table. Control group was given Gongyankang granules 9 g orally,bid;observation group additionally re-ceived Teng medicine hot compress on lower abdomen for 30 min until it was cool,once a day,on the basis of control group. Both groups began the medication since third day after the menstrual period,for consecutive 20 d. TCM syndrome,local sign scores and clinical efficacies were compared between 2 groups before and after treatment,and the occurrence of ADR and recur-rence were observed in 2 groups. RESULTS:Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in TCM syndrome scores or lo-cal sign scores between 2 groups (P>0.05). After treatment,TCM syndrome scores and local sign scores of 2 groups were de-creased significantly,and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). Clinical total response of observation group were 92.11％,which were significantly higher than 70.77％ of control group, rate recurrence rate of observation group were 2.99％,which were significantly under than 15.79％ of control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). No obvious ADR was found in 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Teng medicine hot compress combined with Gongyankang granules show significant efficacy for CPID,can improve TCM syndrome and local sign and reduce recurrence rate with good safety.
