Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2014;(12):1160-1161
ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of superficial needling plus Joint mobilization training in treatingsupraspinatus tendonitis.MethodForty-one patients with supraspinatus tendonitis were randomly allocated to a treatment group of 21 cases and a control group of 20 cases. The treatment group received one session of superficial needling plus shoulder Joint mobilization training and the control group, one session of pain point injection of 2% lidocaine hydrochloride plus triamcinolone acetonide acetate. The therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups.ResultThe total efficacyrate was significantly higher in the treatment group (100%) and in the control group (65%); there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). ConclusionSuperficial needling plus Joint mobilization training has a positive therapeutic effect on supraspinatus tendonitis.

The ultrasonic manifestations of benign and malignant breast imaging-reporting and data system(BI-RADS)4 lesions overlap in some degrees,is able to result in unnecessary biopsy or untimely therapy.Accurate classifying the nature of BI-RADS 4 breast lesions can provide reliable references for clinical decision-making.The progresses of application of new ultrasonic technologies,including automated breast volume scanner,superb micro-vascular imaging,elastography,contrast-enhanced ultrasound and artificial intelligence for assisting diagnosis of BI-RADS 4 lesions were reviewed in this article.
