Objective To examine the relative effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and ultrasound therapy (US) on managing heel pain. Methods Thirty seven patients were divided into 3 groups, two treatment groups (groups 1 and 2) and one control group (group 3).Group 1 received ESWT once a week for 3 consecutive weeks.Parameters were set at a frequency of 4Hz with a total of 1000 impulses, intensity at 0.23 to 0.37mJ/mm 2. Group 2 received continuous ultrasound therapy for 5 minutes in each session, three times a week for three consecutive weeks. Parameters were set at 1MHz, intensity level at 1W/mm 2. Group 3 was the control group and no treatment was given during the study period.The intensity of morning pain on weight bearing, pain triggered by prolonged walking/standing, pain on tension and palpation tests were assessed by use of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) before and after each treatment session, including the follow up session.In addition, Mayo Clinical Scoring System (MCSS) was used to evaluate the treatment outcomes. Results After 3 weeks of treatment plus 3 weeks follow up,outcome measures had shown statistical significant difference on the intensity of pain on tension test( P =0.037),the intensity of pain on palpation test ( P =0.019) and the maximum duration of prolonged walking or standing ( P =0.002). Conclusion ESWT is more effective and efficient for managing heel pain than ultrasound therapy.

Through comparison of teaching approach of problem-based learning (PBL) and subject-based learning in physiotherapy of rehabilitation sciences, it is important for lecturer to understand the inevitable trend of PBL in future, the choice of the subject and the requirement for the lectures and students when using this new method, the detailed teaching methods and the significance of application were also discussed in this article respectively.

It has a vital clinical implication in applying the bilingual education teaching approach in physiotherapy of rehabilitation sciences, it is inevitable trend for reforms in teaching approach of school system. The effect of bilingual education in teaching of physiotherapy of rehabilitation sciences was analyzed in this article. The inevitable trend for reforms in teaching approach of school system, the problems and strategies exited when applying the teaching approach of bilingual education were also discussed respectively, the teaching program of bilingual education were planned in detail.

地震后不同类型的截肢患者需要全面、科学、专业的评价,康复治疗师根据患者的具体情况,制定出相应的治疗方案。佩戴假肢前应着重训练患者的肌力,矫正挛缩的关节;佩戴假肢后,除肌力外还应以恢复日常生活活动能力(ADL)为目的,训练患者各方面的能力,使之尽早回归家庭和社会。

Objective To study the expression and significance of CD44v6 and E-Cadherin( E-cd) in human renal cell carcinoma. Methods Immunohistochemical method was used to detect CD44v6 and E-cd expression in 20 normal renal tissues and 72 primary renal cell carcinoma tissues. Results The postive expression rate of CD44v6 in normal renal tissues and primary renal cell carcinoma tissues was 15 00% and 66 67% respectively with significant difference (P

Myeloid differentiation protein-2(MD-2)can separately and simultaneously bind lipopolysaccharide(LPS)and toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)has been shown to play critical roles in mediated recognition responses to LPS by TLR4 and signal transduction induced by LPS.MD-2 can be bound by LPS,not TLR4.The cells have no responsiveness or weak responsiveness to LPS without MD-2.MD-2 can be secreted into blood plasma,formed soluble MD-2 and remotely regulated cells that contained TLR4 without MD-2.MD-2 has been shown to play important roles in endotoxin signal transduction.MD-2 is a small molecular,short nucleic acid fragment,easily regulated should become a new potential anti-inflammatory target.

The strain Streptomyces sp.,nominated IMB-14,was isolated from the soil sample of WuDang Mountain by the method of cellulose ester membrane filter.The studies on antibiotic activities,morphological characteristics,cultural characteristics,physiological characteristics,16S rDNA sequence analysis and the metabolite of strain IMB-14 showed that the strain IMB-14 was accordance with Streptomyces xanthoci-dicus.The study on the isolation and identification of strain Streptomyces xanthocidicus establishes a foundation on screening of novel antibacterial and antitumor agents.
