ABSTRACT
Objective To meta-analyze the effect of mirror therapy on the lower limb motor function and ac-tivities of daily living of stroke survivors so as to evaluate its clinical efficacy. Methods Medline, PubMed, OT seeker, the Cochrane library, the Wanfang database, the VIP database and the CNKI were searched for reports of randomized and controlled trials (RCTs) of the effect of mirror therapy on the lower limb motor function and activities of daily living of stroke survivors published between December 2008 and December 2018. Strict inclusion and exclu-sion criteria were applied, and the quality of the documents was comprehensively assessed according to version 5.1.0 of the Cochrane manual. The results were analyzed using version 5.2 of the RevMan software suite. Results Four-teen trials were included. Meta-analysis showed that mirror therapy had been shown to improve the patients'scores of Fugl-Meyer assessment ( FMA ), functional ambulance category ( FAC ) and modified Barthel index ( MBI ). Conclusion Mirror therapy can improve the motor function of the affected lower extremities of stroke survivors and their ability in the activities of daily living.
ABSTRACT
@#Spasticity is one of common manifestations of upper motor neuron injury, and often evaluated with semi-quantitative scales. Ultrasound elastography (UE) can provide elastic information for muscle tissue, and can be used for the evaluation of muscle tension after cerebral palsy and stroke, as well as the efficacy of treatment. It correlates well with clinical spasm rating scales. However, UE may also be used for assessment of spasticity after spinal cord injury and multiple sclerosis, etc.
ABSTRACT
Objective To determin the amino acids in silkworm extract by High Performance Liquid Chromatography with Precolumn Derivatization.Methods With the technology of precolumn derivatization, along with high performance liquid DABS-CL and a high-efficiency YMC-Pack ODS-A column(250?4.6mm, 5 ?m), with mobile phase being A:25mol/L KH2PO4 and B: acetonitrile : methyl alcohol =70:30, at flow rate of 1.5 ml/min, peaks were detected at 436nm and column temperature being 35℃.Results All kinds of amino acids have a nice linear relations (r=0.9989~0.9999), precision (RSD
ABSTRACT
Objective To set up a simple and accurate method for the determination of total Glucosides in Paeonia lactifloria (TGP) by HPLC.Methods Benzoic acid being as contiol,the amounts of TGP were obtained from the following formula :TGP( ) = benzoic acid() ?480. 27/ 121. 121. Benzoic acid was determined by HPLC. Chromatographic conditions concluded YMC-Pack ODS-A(5?m,150?4.6mm)column and the mobile phase consisting a mixture of MeOH - 0.05mol?L - 1KH2PO4 - HAC - isopropanol (85:155:4:6). Benzoic acid was detected at 230nm wavelength.Results The calibration curves of Benzoic acid were in good linearity over the range of 0.1~2g(r=1.0000). The average recovery of Benzoic acid was 101.12(n=9,RSD=2.49). Conclusion This method is simple and can be easily repeated.
ABSTRACT
Objective To set up a simple and accurate method for the determination of saikosaponins in Bupleurum chinense DC. by UV-Visible Spectrophotometry. Methods The content of saikosaponins was determined by UV-Visible Spectrophotometry. The absorbency was measured at 536nm. Results The calibration curves was linear within 194~1940mg/L(r=0.9996). The average recovery was 97.35%,and the RSD was 1.02%(n=9). Conclusion The method was proved to be simple, precise and reproduciable. It can be used for the quantitative determination of B upleurum chinense DC.
