Objective:To observe the clinical effects of tuina manipulations plus the functional training on scapulohumeral periarthritis (SP), and provide the better therapeutic plan for SP patients. Methods: A total of76 cases with SP in conformity with the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into a tuina group and an acupuncture group, 38 patients in each group. All the patients were instructed to do functional training under the guidance of the professional medical practitioners. The patients in the tuina group were treated additionally with tuina manipulations, while the patients in the acupuncture group were added with acupuncture treatment. The two groups were treated once every day. After ten sessions, the changes in the scores of visual analog scale (VAS) and Melle were observed, and the clinical effect was compared. Results:After the treatment, VAS and Melle scores were all lower in the tuina group than those in the acupuncture group, with statistical significances between the two groups (P<0.05). The remarkable effective rate was 5.3% in the acupuncture group and 21.1% in the tuina group. The remarkable effective rate was higher in the tuina group than that in the acupuncture group, with a statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion:Tuina manipulations plus functional training for SP can effectively alleviate pain and restore the functions of the shoulder joint, with a better effect than acupuncture plus functional training.

OBJECTIVE:How to explain and predict individual difference of artificial cochlea so as to evaluate rehabilitative effect of implant has been paid much attention by audiological scholars,clinical physicians,patients,and their relatives. This study was designed to analyze and evaluate rehabilitative status of patients accepting artificial cochlea implantation to investigate the relative influential factors of auditory rehabilitation. METHODS:A total of 28 patients were selected from Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck,Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao Medical College from June 2002 to April 2008. They were accessed by age,time of rehabilitation training,usage of hearing aids,audiology and aural image before surgery,and NRT monitoring in cochlear implantation so as to observe auditory improvement. The clinical results were analyzed to detect the effect of various factors on auditory rehabilitation. RESULTS:Age,preoperative preparations and good audiology and aural image are important premises for a successful rehabilitation. Longer the time of using hearing aids and language rehabilitation are,and better results will get. NRT response during operation is also an important factor for good auditory rehabilitation. CONCLUSION:The influential factors of auditory rehabilitation after cochlear implant included the age,audition remains,usage of hearing aids,NRT response during operation,and the time after the cochlear implant operation.
