BACKGROUND: Nowadays, more and more people regard the isokinetic training as a method for strength training and rehabilitation of muscle injuries of athletes. But it is rare in study of rehabilitation following joint injury via isokinetic training. OBJECTIVE: To explore the advantage of isokinetic training in rehabilitation, further more, to provide the scientific basis to rehabilitation of muscle injuries. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The contrast observation was performed at the Laboratory of Institute of Physical Education, Hebei Normal University between March and May 2008. PARTICIPANTS: Two female college basketball athletes whose knee joints were injured. METHODS: The Kinitech isokinetic testing system (Kylingk, Australia) was used to test the flexion and extension muscles of knee joint of 2 athletes and contrasted the values of flexion and extension muscle after rehabilitation training, damage side and healthy side. All data were analyzed to observe the effects of strength training. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Peak torque (PT) values of flexor and extensor in knee joints. RESULTS: After 8 weeks isokinetic training, the strength index of two subjects had increased in certain degree both at the 60 (?)/s and 240 (?)/s. The PT values showed that the increasing range of flexor was greater than that of extensor in the 1st subject, but the circumstance was opposite in the 2nd subject. The index of BP, STW, and AP was greatly increased, as well as work fatigue. CONCLUSION: It is helpful to increase the muscle strength and promote the rehabilitation via isokinetic training system. The isokinetic strength training has the positive effects on rehabilitation of muscle injuries.

OBJECTIVETo compare the effects between mild moxibustion and specific electromagnetic spectrum therapy apparatus (TDP) for obsolete collateral ligament injury of interphalangeal joints.
METHODSSixty patients were randomly divided into a mild moxibustion group and a TDP group, 30 cases in each one. In the mild moxibustion group, pure moxa sticks were used at the affected digital joints locally for 20-30 min a time. In the TDP group, TDP was applied at the affected digital joints locally for 20-30 min a time. The treatment was given once a day for two courses, and 10-day treatment was made into a course. Visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, swelling degree of the affected digital joints before and after treatment were observed and the clinical efficacy and safety were evaluated in the two groups.
RESULTSThe excellent rate was 56.7% (17/30) and the excellent and, good rate was 83.4% (25/30) in the mild moxibustion group,which were better than 36.7% (11/30) and 76.7% (23/30) in the TDP group respectively (both P < 0.01). After treatment the score of VAS and digital joints swelling degree were improved than those before treatment in the two groups (P < 0.01, P < 0.05), and the improvements of the mild moxibustion group were better than those of the TDP group (P < 0.01, P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONMild moxibustion can apparently relieve the painful and swelling degree of obsolete collateral ligament injury of interphalangeal joints, which is superior to TDP.

Objective To investigate the differences in position and volume between planning target volumes (PTV) based on positron emission tomography?computed tomography (PET?CT) images with an standardized uptake value ( SUV) no less than 2?5, 20% of the maximum SUV ( SUVmax ), or 25% of SUVmax , three?dimensional ( 3D ) CT, and four?dimensional ( 4D ) CT in thoracic esophageal cancer. Methods Eighteen patients with thoracic esophageal cancer sequentially received chest 3DCT, 4DCT, and [18F]fluoro?2?deoxy?D?glucose (FDG) PET?CT scans. PTV3D was obtained by conventional expansion of 3DCT images;PTV4D was obtained by fusion of target volumes from 10 phases of 4DCT images. The internal gross tumor volumes ( IGTV) , IGTVPET2.5 , IGTVPET20%, and IGTVPET25%, were generated based on PET?CT images with an SUV no less than 2?5, 20% of SUVmax , and 25% of SUVmax , respectively. These IGTVs were expanded longitudinally by 3?5 cm and radically by 1 cm to make PTVPET2.5 , PTVPET20%, and PTVPET25%, respectively. Results PTV3D was significantly larger than both PTV4D and PTVPET(P=0?000 -0?044), while there was no significant difference between PTV4D and PTVPET ( P= 0?216 -0?633 ) . The mutual degrees of inclusion ( DIs ) between PTV3D and PTV4D were 0?70 and 0?95, respectively, which were negatively correlated with 3D?Vector ( P=0?039). The mutual DIs between PTVPET2.5, PTVPET20%, and PTVPET25% were 0?74, 0?72, 0?78, 0?73, 0?77, and 0?70, respectively, which showed no correlation with 3D?Vector (P=0?150 -0?822). The mutual DIs between PTV3D and PTVPET were 0?86, 0?84, 0?88, 0?63, 0?67, and 0?59, respectively. Conclusions It is difficult to achieve complete volumetric overlap of PTVs based on 3DCT, 4DCT and PET?CT in thoracic esophageal cancer due to different target volume information. PET scan during free breathing should be used with caution to generate PTVs in thoracic esophageal cancer.
