Treatment of sacroiliac joint dislocation by Zhuang medicine tendon therapy combined with chiropractic manipulation / 中国骨伤

OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the clinical effect of Zhuang medicine tendon therapy combined with chiropractic manipulation in treating sacroiliac joint dislocation.@*METHODS@#From January 2017 to May 2018, 60 patients with sacroiliac joint dislocation were divided into treatment group and control group according to the order of admission. There were 19 males and 11 females in the treatment group, aged from 23 to 52 (38.97±3.23) years old, with a course of 2 h to 5.1 months, with an average of (2.19±1.12) months. There were 14 males and 16 females in the control group, aged from 26 to 50 (39.07±3.30) years old, with a course of 3 h to 6 months, with an average of(2.41±1.05) months. The treatment group was treated with Zhuang medicine tendon therapy combined with chiropractic manipulation, while the control group was treated with conventional acupuncture and massage. Before treatment, the main clinical symptoms of the patients were lumbosacral pain, posterior superior iliac spine not at the same level and accompanied with dyskinesia. The pelvic separation test and the "4" test were positive. After treatment, the curative effect was evaluated according to the improved Macnab standard and the "score of treatment of lumbar diseases".@*RESULTS@#Sixty patients were followed up for an average of 8 months. At the latest follow-up, the clinical effect of modified Macnab was better in the treatment group than in the control group(<0.01). After treatment, the treatment group was better than the control group on lumbar function score (<0.01).@*CONCLUSIONS@#The treatment of sacroiliac joint dislocation by Zhuang medicine tendon therapy combined with chiropractic manipulation has good clinical effect and is worth further application and development.

Effects of enriched environment on learning and memory abilities in senescence accelerated-prone 8 mice / 第二军医大学学报

Objective: To investigate the effects of enriched environment on learning and memory abilities in senescence accelerated-prone 8 (SAMP8) mice. Methods: Twenty 3-month-old male SAMP8 mice and 20 male SAMRI mice (normal aging) were randomly divided into 2 groups according to their body weight: enriched environment (EE) group and standard environment (SE) group. Animals in the 2 groups were subjected to different environments for 8 weeks. The learning and memory abilities of animals were evaluated by step-down avoidance test and Morris water maze test. Results: The learning and memory abilities of EE group were significantly better than those of SE group in step-down avoidance test(P<0.05 for memory ability). The average latent period of animals in EE group was significantly shorter than that in SE group in Morris water maze test in both SAMP8 and SAMR1 mice(P<0.05 for SAMP8 mice). Spatial probe test revealed that the ability to search for platform of EE group was better than that of SE group. Conclusion: Enriched environmental intervention can improve the learning and memory abilities in senescence SAMP8 mice, especially for memory ability.
