Abstract: Various kinds of therapies have been clinically applied to treat cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR). However, the evaluation standards of therapeutic effect in different medical institutions are quite different from each other at present, thus bringing about many difficulties in the therapeutic effect evaluation of CSR treatment. Although many CSR-related scales have been developed, none of them could completely represent or reflect the exact curative actualities of CSR in China. Therefore, it is quite essential to establish a comprehensive evaluation scale for the therapeutic effect of CSR. And such evaluation system, in which the estimation of quality of life should be included, will become the developmental direction of CSR research in future.

Objective To explore the clinical value of 3-dimensional digital subtraction angiography(3D-DSA)in the diagnosis and therapy of intracranial aneurysms.Methods 2-dimensional digital subtraction angiography (2D-DSA)and 3D-DSA was performed respectively on 1 53 patients,including 1 5 1 cases with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH),1 case with headache and 1 case with cerebral infarction;Meanwhile,to compare the difference in diagnosis of intracranial aneurysms between 2D-DSA and 3D-DSA.Results 1 12 patients(125 pieces)with intracranial aneurysms were detected on 2D-DSA,its detecting rate was 73.2%(1 12/1 53 );136 patients(1 52 pieces)with intracranial aneurysms were detected on 3D-DSA,its detecting rate was 88.9%(136/1 53)(χ2 =12.254,P <0.05).The displaying rate of 3D-DSA for the relationship between carrying tumor artery and aneurysms and the necks of aneurysms was 100%(1 52/1 52),however,the displaying rate of 2D-DSA for that was 61.6%(77/125)(χ2 =63.993,P <0.05). Conclusion 3D-DSA can improved the diagnostic accurate rate of intracranial aneurysms,it is important in chosing the therapeutic regimen.

On the basis of the investigation of the pathogenesis of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy, this paper studies the mechanisms of spinal micro-adjustment manipulations in recovering and improving cervical dynamic and stationary balance from the perspective of biomechanics.

Objective: To observe the effect of acupuncture and Chinese mina manipulation therapy in treating knee osteoarthritis, and analyze the alteration of musculus quadriceps femoris strength.Methods: A total of 80 patients were randomly assigned to a treatment group receiving acupuncture combined Chinese tuina manipulation therapy (n=40) and a control group receiving Fenbid treatment (n=40), curative effective score, Lequene & Mery assessment tests, and isokinetic evaluation were recorded before and after the treatment course. Results: The total effective rate was 90.0 % in the treatment group and 87.5% in the control group, without a significant difference between the two groups. Lequene & Mery assessment tests had no significant change. Musculus quadriceps femoris isokinetic evaluation improved significantly after the treatment course in the two groups (P＜0.05), and there was a significant difference between the two groups (P＜0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture combined with tuina manipulation therapy and Fenbid treatment both can reduce knee pain and joint disability in the short term, though no improvement was shown in the severity of the disease.Acupuncture combined with mina manipulation therapy is better than Fenbid in improving the strength, total work and explosive force of the musculus quadriceps femoris.

Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of spine subtle adjusting manipulation for postpartum low back pain (PLBP). Methods: A total of 76 patients with PLBP were randomized into a control group and a treatment group, with 38 cases in each group. The control group was treated with core muscle strengthening exercises, and the treatment group was treated with spine subtle adjusting manipulation. After 3 weeks of treatment, the clinical efficacy was observed, and the visual analog scale (VAS) score and Oswestry disability index (ODI), and the changes of lumbar Cobb angle and pelvic rotation were compared between the two groups. Results: The total effective rate of the treatment group was 92.1％, and that of the control group was 78.9％. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the VAS score and ODI in both groups decreased, and the intra-group differences were all statistically significant (P<0.05). There were no intra-group statistical differences in the lumbar Cobb angle or pelvic rotation in the two groups (P>0.05). After treatment, there were no statistical differences in the lumbar Cobb angle or pelvic rotation between the two groups (P>0.05); the VAS score and ODI in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Spine subtle adjusting manipulation can effectively relieve the pain for patients with PLBP, and improve their daily activity function.

Objective:To observe the effect of Yi Jin Jing(Sinew-transforming Qigong Exercises)intervention on anxiety in asymptomatic patients with Corona Virus Disease 2019(COVID-19)infection during quarantine.Methods:A total of 160 asymptomatic patients with COVID-19 infection were stratified by gender and divided into an observation group and a control group by the stratified randomization method,with 80 cases in each group.The control group was given basic nursing in the cabin,and the observation group was given additional Yi Jin Jing exercises once a day,20 min each time,and trained continuously until 1 d before leaving the cabin.The Hamilton anxiety scale(HAMA)score was compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 154 cases were included for data analysis in this study,including 74 cases in the observation group and 80 cases in the control group.After intervention,the HAMA scores in both groups increased(P<0.05),while the score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).In the control group,the HAMA score of females after intervention was higher than that of males.The scores of mental anxiety and somatic anxiety in both groups were higher than those before intervention,while the score of mental anxiety in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control(P<0.05).However,there was no statistical difference in the somatic score between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:Patients with COVID-19 infection will get anxious during quarantine.Yi Jin Jing exercise can effectively reduce the aggravation of anxiety in asymptomatic patients with COVID-19 infection during concentrated quarantine.

Objective:Discuss and analyze the mechanisms of spine fine adjusting through the observation of the therapeutic effect in treating cervical spondylotic radiculopathy(CSR)and the conversion of cervical curvature.Methods: Randomly divide 106 CSR patients into two groups–manipulation therapy group and traction therapy group,53 for each.Judge the therapeutic effect by evaluation scales and measure the cervical curvature on X-ray photographs.Results:The symptoms and physical signs of the patients in both two groups have been improved(P

The article analyzes chief physician SUN Wuquan's empirical characteristics in treating neck-type cervical spondylosis:disease differentiation combined with pattern differentiation,emphasizing the assessment of tendons and bones,with DING's Tuina(Chinese therapeutic massage)manipulations and static Gongfa(Qigong exercise)as the predominant treatment,inherits the academic features of DING's Tuina school,"paying equal attention to tendons and bones,putting function first";thus provides a reference for treating neck-type cervical spondylosis with Tuina therapy.

A hemodynamic model of capillary and tissue, in which tissue pressure changed with swing manipulation of Traditional Chinese Medical Massage (TCMM), is presented in this paper to explain the hemodynamic mechanism of swing manipulation. Blood flowed in capillary with low Reynolds number. Plasma exuded through capillary according to the Starling's Law. Tissue pressure changed linearly with the massage force measured. Blood apparent viscosity, plasma protein concentration and red cell's hematocrit were taken into account. Capillary flow rate, blood apparent viscosity, filtration rate and filtration fraction with dynamical change of tissue pressure were calculated numerically, and were compared with those in static tissue pressure condition. Results showed that, dynamical change of tissue pressure led to the increase of capillary flow rate and the decrease of blood apparent viscosity, which qualitatively explained the hemodynamic mechanism of "promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis" in swing manipulation of TCMM.
