Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of tendon-regulating manipulation plus kinesiotherapy in treating low back pain. Methods:Sixty patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group by using the random number table, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by tendon-regulating manipulation plus kinesiotherapy, while the control group was by the tendon-regulating manipulation alone. The lumbar lordosis was measured by X-ray (side view), the pain was evaluated by analgesy meter, the lumbar range of motion was by using goniometer, and the function was judged by Oswestry disability index (ODI) before and after treatment, and the therapeutic efficacy was also observed. Results:After treatment, the pain level was significantly reduced, lumbar lordosis was significantly increased, the lumbar range of motion was markedly improved, and the ODI score significantly dropped (allP<0.05) in both groups; the improvement of each item in the treatment group was more significant than that in the control group (allP<0.05). The total effective rate was 90.0% in the treatment group versus 63.3% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of low back pain, tendon-regulating manipulation plus kinesiotherapy can mitigate topical pain, improve the motion of low back, enhance the quality of life, and produce a more significant therapeutic efficacy compared to tendon-regulating manipulation alone.

PET serves as one of the most advanced imaging modalities,and its development depends on the improvement of radiotracers.Among numerous positron isotopes,18 F appears to be the best radionuclide candidate for PET radiotracers by virtue of its favorable physical characteristics.18 F-labeled aromatic radiotracers have been widely investigated by researchers due to its special metabolic stability.However, the development and application of 18 F-labeled aromatic radiotracers have been limited due to lacking of radiochemical methods to obtain products with high selectivity,high radioactivity and high purity.This review focuses on the new labeling methods of 18 F-labeled aromatic radiotracers from the aspects of electrophilic and nucleophilic substitution reactions.

The meniscus in the knee joint plays an important role in bearing load,shock absorption,joint lubrication,and increasing the stability of the knee joint in various directions.Meniscal injury is a common ailment in knee joint injuries,which can cause severe knee pain and limited knee joint movement,significantly affecting the patient's quality of life.Arthroscopic minimally invasive treatment has become the main approach for treating meniscal injuries,with the consensus being to preserve the meniscus morphology and structure as much as possible.By introducing the structure and function of the meniscus,the mechanism of injury,and focusing on several suture techniques for arthroscopic meniscal injury treatment,analyzing their advantages and disadvantages,it aims to provide some reference for clinical research on arthroscopic suture of the meniscus.
