Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2009;15(10):942-944
Objective To study and observe the intervention effects of Acupuncture on spinal cord injury rats by using factorial design. The best combination rules of the best time course and electrical stimulation site were explored.Methods 96 experimental spinal cord injury rats were randomly divided into four groups: acupuncture on head intervention group (group A), acupuncture on body intervention group (group B), complex intervention group (group A+B) and nonintervention group (group D) . There were 24 rats in each group. The rats received electrical stimulation according experimental design. The motor function of the rats' hind limbs were detected at different time sites(1 w, 2 w, 4 w, 8 w and 12 w).Results The Results among different Methods of electrical stimulation are significantly different. The levels of the rat's BBB scale, and evoked potential(MEP) in the group A+B were the best among four groups (P<0.05). The BBB scale and evoked potential(MEP)of the rats in each group are significantly different at different time sites (P<0.05). It means that each kind of electrical stimulation plays a positive role in promoting restoration of motor function. The correct analysis for factorial design data is helpful to the fully application of information.Conclusion Factorial design can be used in research projects of Acupuncture, especially the design for multiple factors and multiple levels.

BACKGROUND: Cervical spondylosis is a common disease in middleaged and elderly people. There are many methods of rehabilitative treatment such as traction, massage, medical gymnastics, acupuncture and local blocking, etc.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of rehabilitative exercise on patients with cervical spondylosis by way of quantitative generalized boxing exercise combined with local cervical medical exercise.DESIGN: Self-control study on patients with cervical spondylosis in the community for 3 monthsSETTING: Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University PARTICIPANTS: The indoor questionnaire investigation about chronic diseases in community was carried out on 1 457 inhabitants with the age from 35 to 74 in a community of South Nanjing district, Shanghai in order to check out the patients with cervical spondylosis who had been diagnosed confirmatively by hospital and exclude the patients with the disease of spinal cord type. There were total 114 patients volunteering to participate in the 3-month rehabilitative treatment with an informed content, including of 12 with cervical type of the disease, 39 with nerve root type, 23 with vertebroarterial type, 5 with sympathetic nerve type, 35 with mixed type and none with spinal cord type.METHODS: 3-month rehabilitative exercise was carried out for the 114 patients with cervical spondylosis.① One or several kinds of generalized boxing exercise such as shadow boxing, eighteen-gesture training practice and joint exercise were chosen by the patients according to their own in terest and physical energy. It was required that patient exercise was done for 3 months with one time a day, and each time for no less than 30 minutes, with the intensity after each exercise arriving to the target heart rate level of 170 subtracting their age. ② Aiming to exercise the cervicalshoulder part and to relax its related functions, the local cervical medical exercise has 12 procedures including turning left and right, moving neck around, shrinking head and relaxing shoulders, stretching neck and extending back, turning head and watching the moon, waving arms, putting up arms, lifting chest and squaring elbows, and trying hard to stretch neck.It was required that each procedure be repeated 5 to 10 times at the beginning and later more times increasing gradually, and the whole set of exercise be practiced for 3 months with lor 2 times each day and each time lasted at least 10 minutes.③No other treatment was performed by the patients except for the above exercise intervention. The effects were evaluated after 3 months.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①The evaluated results of the curative effect in all patients with 3-month rehabilitative exercise.② Relationship between types of cervical spondylosis and curative effect ③ Relationship between course of disease and curative effect RESULTS: According to the intention-to-treat analysis, all the 114 patients persisting in the 3-month exercise intervention entered the result analysis. The curative effect evaluation: among the 114 patients, 44 were with the general curative effect, 40 with marked improvement, 25 with improvement, 5 with inefficacy. The percentage of the general curative and marked improved is 73.7%, and that of total improvement is 95.6% The clinical manifestations of all patients with cervical spondylosis including cervicoscapulargia, radioactive numb and pain in unilateral or bilateral upper arms, dizziness, tinnitus, headache, etc.were distinctively improved ② Relationship between the types of cervical spondylosis and curative effect: after 3-month treatment of rehabilitative exercise, the percentage of the general curative effect and marked improvement in patients with cervical type and nerve root type was higher than that in patients with verteboarterial type, sympathetic nerve type and mixed type (91.7%,97.4%, 47.8% ,20.0% ,65.7% respectively and p value below 0.01). ③ Relationship between the course of cervical spondylosis and curative effects: the percentage of the general curative effect and marked improvement in patients with the course of less than one year is 90.9% and that in patients with the course of 1 to 5 years is 88.6%, which were all higher than that in patients with a course of 5 more years (p value below 0.01).CONCLUSION: Quantitative generalized boxing exercise combined with local cervical medical exercise is helpful to improve the radiculopathy symptoms, but only combined with other treatments could patients with vertebroarterial type receive the best curative effect. In addition, there is a certain relation between the course of disease and curative effect, and patients with cervical spondylosis should be treated with rehabilitative exercise as early as possible, which suggestes that it is worthy of popularization that patients with cervical spondylosis are organized to practice quantitative boxing exercise combined with cervical medical exercise in the community.

To understand the present situation of sport participation in community residents of Shanghai,study infecting factors to the regular sport participation rate and evaluate recognition degree of the relationship of sport and chronic disease,we carried out questionnaire survey indoors among the permanent residents,aged 35~74,in East Nanjing Road community, including survey on chronic disease and sport participation situation. The material was statistically analyzed and the related factors were proved by x2 test. The results showed that in 1457 permanent residents,470 regularly participat in sport, and were classified as sport population. The prevalence was 32.3%.The gender, age, education level, occupation and chronic disease had statistical significance (P<0.05) and they were probably infecting factors of the regular sport participation rate. Currently,the regular sport participation rate in community is relatively high and the purpose of sport participation was evident, however, the age structure of sport population was imbalance. The sport participation in residents was individualized and without proper scientific instruction.

Early lymph node metastasis is a common clinical phenomenon in many human cancers, which is associated with both aggressive disease and poor prognosis. Clearly, treatments to specifically block dissemination through the lymphatic network would be desirable either as independent therapies or as adjuncts to existing chemotherapy. At the present stage the target vessels for invasion by lymph-metastasizing tumor cells include preexisting tissue lymphatics abutting the tumor mass through either coincidence or mutual chemoattraction, as well as new lymphatic vessels that proliferate either within or around the tumor as a result of lymphangiogenesis. The lymphangiogenesis is regulated primarily by the lymphangiogenic growth factors VEGF-C and VEGF-D generated by tumor cells or host cells including tissue macrophages. Nevertheless, it remains controversial as to whether this metastasis-enhancing effect simply results from an increase of the number of target vessels due to mitogenesis or from other properties of the newly dividing tumor lymphatics.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of intraoperative frozen section in breast neoplasms and to improve the diagnostic accuracy rate,to promote closer communication betwen clinicians and ~pathologists ,mutually increase an understanding of frozen sections, and thus decrease the rate of misdiagnosis. Methods The diagnostic reports of intraoperative frozen sections and paraffin sections of 590 cases with breast neoplasms taken in the recent 8 and a half years were analyzed retrospectively. Results 586 cases (~99.32 %) of intraoperative frozen sections were diagnosed correctly and 4(0.68%) were misdiagnosed. In the 4 misdiagnosed cases,2 cases of infiltrating ductal carcinoma were misdiagnosed as benign lesions,due to questionable quality of the slides,and 2 cases of lobular cystic sarcoma were misdiagnosed as fibroadeuoma,due to removal of insufficient specimen.Conclusions The chief causes of misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis of frozen sections are specimen limitations,varied morphology of the lesions,and quality of the frozen sections.When there is familiarity with the main aspects of diagnosis and differential diagnosis of breast pathology and enhancement of communication between the surgeon and pathologist,then frozen section of breast masses is an accurate and reliable method of investigation.
