OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of treating periarthritis of shoulder with manipulation through evaluating clinical reports with the theory of evidence-based medicine (EMB). METHODS: By retrieval of some main medical literature databases in the past 5 years, 242 articles on treating periarthritis of shoulder with manipulation were available. Selected by admission standard, 10 of them were evaluated with EBM theory. RESULTS: Both single-application and union-application of manipulation were effective to periarthritis of shoulder, but the evaluated articles were all low-quality articles. CONCLUSION: Because of low quality clinic test and larvaceous publication bias, the extant evidence is not enough to recommend replacing other therapeutic methods by manipulation. The low quality of evaluated articles suggests that there exist some methodology problems in the clinic test on treating periarthritis of shoulder with manipulation.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of implementing the 24 hours treatment and management model of children with cerebral palsy in Shanghai,in order to provide a set of effective and saving manpower,material and financial rehabilitation and management model for children with cerebral palsy.Methods Firstly,the 10 exports engaged in cerebral palsy rehabilitation were selected as the in depth interviewees by the sampling method of grounded theory.Secondly,applying in depth interviews,the 10 exports were interviewed by designing interview outline and subjects.Last,the interview data were collected and analyzed.Results By analyzing the interview data in three-stage coding mode,three factors affecting the feasibility of 24 hours treatment and management model of children with cerebral palsy in Shanghai were obtained,including the favorable factors,obstacles and necessary factors.Conclusions The 24-hour treatment and management model of children with cerebral palsy in Shanghai is feasible,but it will encounter some obstacles in the implementation process.Through the policy support for health care and education sectors,the feasibility of the pattern will be greatly enhanced.

Objective: To study the mechanism of Tuina in the treatment of skeletal muscle injury. Methods: Rabbits were heavily beaten at gastrocnemius muscle to make acute contusion model and then treated respectively by early Tuina and routine Tuina. The number of satellite cells of skeletal muscles was observed. Results: The number of the satellite cells continued to grow in both groups, and it began to increase significantly 3-5 days after Tuina treatment. Early Tuina treatment produces larger number of satellite cells than routine Tuina treatment.Conclusion: Early Tuina treatment is helpful to the marked recovery of skeletal muscles by increasing the number of satellite cell.

Objective To evaluate the predictors of maternal and fetal outcome of pregnancy for systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE)patients.MethodsNinety-four patients with 96 pregnancies which were evaluated retrospectively from Jan 1990 to Jan 2008 in Peking Union Medicai College Hospital were divided into two groups:disease stable during pregnancy(group A)and lupus flares during pregnancy (group B).Statistical analysis was performed by X2 or Fisher exact test and Student's t-test.A binary logistic regression model was used to evaluate the predictors of matemal and fetal outcome.Results There were 36 pregnancies with stable lupus disease(group A)and 60 pregnancies with lupus flares(group B).of the 96 pregnancies.18 resulted in therapeutic abortion and 7 in fetal loss,71 resulted in a live birth,3 in neonatal death.The rates of preterm delivery,small gestational age(SGA)and neonatal asphyxia in group B were higher than those in group A(P＜0.05).By binary logistic regression analysis,preeclampsia/eclampsia low serum platelet count and SLE flares were associated with poor fetal outcome(β=2.463,2.228.2.769 respectively.P＜0.05).,rhere were 56 pregnancies with stable lupus disease at the conception with 22(39.3%)occurred lupus flares during pregnancies.Twenty-four preeclampsia and 2 eclampsia were seen in all the pregnancies.Fifty-two pregnancies were complicated with lupus nephritis,and 25 pregnancies(48.1%,25/52)of which were disease stable at the conception,and among 22 pregnancies with disease stable over one year.twelve of which occurred lupus nephritis flares.Three pregnancies which have disease activity within one year before pregnancy all occurred lupus nephritis flares.There were four maternal death which all occurred at the postpartum.By binary logistic regression analysis,lupus nephritis flares were associated with preeclampsia/eclampsia(B=2.658,P＜0.05),and proteinuria at the conception before dilivery were significantly associated with SLE flares(13=3.263,P＜0.05).Conclusion An increase of fetal loss,preterm delivery,SGA and neonatal asphyxia was seen in patients with lupus flares during pregnancy compared with those with stable disease.About 1/3 lupus activity may increase after pregnancy.Preeclampsia and eclampsia were increased when there were lupus nephritis flares.

Objective To evaluate the maternal and fetal outcomes of pregnant women with lupus nephritis (LN) and the risk factors.Methods Ninety-three patients with 97 pregnancies from January 1st,1990 to December 31st,2012 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were evaluated retrospectively.Objects of study were divided into three groups:stable lupus before pregnancy (stable group,52 cases),active lupus before pregnancy (active group,26 cases),and newly diagnosed LN during pregnancy (19 cases).Adverse maternal outcomes included exacerbated disease during pregnancy,preeclampsia,increased proteinuria and impaired renal function during pregnancy or postpartum,maternal death,thrombocytopenia and hypocomplementemia.Adverse fetal or neonatal outcomes included therapeutically termination of pregnancy,fetal loss,neonatal death,preterm labor,small gestational age and asphyxia.Statistical analysis was performed by Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test.A binary logistic regression model was used to evaluate the risk factors for adverse maternal and fetal outcomes.Results (1) Adverse maternal outcomes:There was no significant difference between exacerbated cases during pregnancies in stable group and that in active group [53.8 ％ (28/52) vs 61.5 ％ (16/26),x2 =0.417,P＞0.05].After deleting abortions before 20 weeks of gestation (5 cases in stable group and 4 cases in active group),there was no significant difference between preeclampsia incidence in stable group and that in active group [36.2％ (17/47) vs 59.1％ (13/22),x2 =3.204,P＞0.05].In nineteen newly diagnosed LN women,eighteen cases were over 20 weeks of gestation,during which preeclampsia incidence was 6/18.(2) Adverse fetal or neonatal outcomes:Therapeutically termination of pregnancy rate was higher in active group than that in stable group[42.3％(10/26) vs 7.7％(4/52),Fisher's exact test,P＜0.01].After deleting patients who required termination of pregnancy (three cases in stable group) and therapeutically termination of pregnancy (four cases in stable group and ten cases in active group),the rate of fetal loss and neonatal death was higher in active group than that in stable group [5/16 vs 6.7％(3/45),Fisher's exact test,P＜0.05].The rate of adverse fetal or neonatal outcomes was higher in active group than that in stable group [92.3％(24/26) vs50％(26/52),x2=13.483,P＜0.001].Among the nineteen newly diagnosed LN cases during pregnancy,the numbers of therapeutically termination of pregnancy and fetal loss were five and three cases respectively; among eleven live birth cases,two newborns died from severe asphyxia,and nine cases were preterm birth.(3) Binary logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors for exacerbated lupus during pregnancy were hypocomplementemia (OR =0.300,95％ CI:0.104-0.863) and thrombocytopenia (OR =0.054,95％CI∶0.007-0.439).The independent risk factors for preeclampsia in LN pregnant women were thrombocytopenia (OR=0.151,95％CI:0.046-0.499) and LN recurrence or first diagnosed during pregnancy (OR=0.135,95％CI:0.027-0.679).The independent risk factors for adverse fetal or neonatal outcomes were preeclampsia (OR=0.134,95％CI:0.028-0.637) and lupus active during pregnancy (OR =0.026,95 ％ CI:0.005-0.138).Conclusions Active lupus before pregnancy is associated with poor maternal and fetal outcomes in lupus nephritis pregnancy.All pregnancies with LN should be planned,preferably after more than six months of quiescent disease.Blood pressure,renal function,proteinuria and level of platelet and serum complements should be closely monitored.

Objective To observe the effects of tuina on muscle atrophy after denervation and on muscle satellite cell proliferation.Methods Ninety male rabbits with denervated skeletal muscles were randomly divided into a normal group,a control group,and a treatment group.Tuina was applied daily to the right gastrocnemius muscles beginning one day after the modeling.Changes in muscle wet weight ratio and the amount of skeletal muscle satellite cells (SCs) were observed 1,2 and 3 weeks and 1,2,4 and 6 months post-modeling.Results The muscle wet weight ratios of both the treatment group and the control group were lower than those of the normal group.The weight ratio in the treatment group was significantly different from that in the control group after 2 months (0.578 ±0.163 vs 0.470 ±0.062),4 months (0.575 ±0.110 vs 0.453 ±0.101) and 6 months (0.559 ±0.083 vs 0.446 ±0.048).The amount of SCs was also significantly different in the treatment and control groups after 1 week (16.83 ±5.31 vs8.67±2.58),2 weeks (51.83±7.94 vs32.00±6.93) and4 months (11.17±3.49 vs 17.67±4.18).Conclusion Tuina therapy can promote proliferation of satellite cells and delay the atrophy of denervated skeletal muscles.

Objective To investigate whether functional electrical stimulation (FES) can improve the expression of proteins in the NMDAR1-pGLuR1 pathway so as to promote the recovery of motor function and sensation after stroke.Methods Eighty-one Wistar rats were used to make a photochemical brain model of local ischemia.Rats were randomly assigned into a sham, placebo stimulation or FES group.Rats in the placebo and FES groups had local ischemia induced in the M1 zone of the brain using the photosensitive dye Bengal rose.It was administered intravenously and a laser beam was then stereotactically positioned on the skull.The rats in the FES groups were stimulated for 30 minutes (10 minutes on, 10 minutes off, then 10 minutes on).The placebo group's treatment was similar, but without the electric current.The rats in the sham group received no intervention.The cylinder test and the adhesive-removal test were used to test the rats' motor function and sensation before the operation and before they were sacrificed.Cohorts were sacrificed after 3, 7 and 14 days of intervention.NMDA receptor and AMPA receptor were detected in the peri-ischemic cortex using western blotting.Results After 7 and 14 days the index of forelimb motor function in the cylinder test of the FES group was significantly better than that of the placebo group.The average adhesive-removal time of the FES group was also significantly faster compared with the placebo group.After 7 days the average expression of NMDAR1 in the FES group was significantly higher than in the placebo group.The average expression of GluR1 and pGluR1 in the FES group was significantly higher than in the placebo group after 14 days.Conclusion Functional electrical stimulation can improve motor function after ischemia through the NMDARAMPAR signal pathway, at least in rats.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD) has significant extra pulmonary effects, which could induce atrophy of peripheral skeletal muscle and respiratory muscles, and significantly influence the respiratory function and quality of life. Muscle nuclear factor (NF)-κB activation plays a key role in the skeletal muscle atrophy. This article discussed the potential mechanisms on how NF-κB signaling pathway increasing protein breakdown and reducing muscle regeneration. On this basis, we explored the role of NF-κB in skeletal muscle at-rophy in patients with COPD during exercise.
