RESUMEN
@#Dysphagia is often associated with incoordination between breathing and swallowing, resulting in the occurrence of aspiration, cough and aspiration pneumonia. This article reviewed the specific physiological mechanisms of respiration and swallowing and their clinical applications, which aimed to focus on the relationship between respiration and swallowing systems in health and disease, and to explore its guiding value in the clinical treatment of dysphagia.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the effects of mirror therapy combined with Tongdu Xingshen acupuncture on the upper extremity function of stroke survivors.Methods Sixty stroke survivors were randomly divided into a mirror group (n =20),an acupuncture group (n =20) and a combined group (n =20).In addition to routine rehabilitation treatment,those in each group received mirror therapy,acupuncture or both for 4 weeks.Before the treatment and after 2 and 4 weeks of treatment,all of the patients were assessed using the Fugl-Meyer motor function assessment (FMA),Brunnstrom upper limb and hand staging (BSULH),the Barthel Index (BI) and in terms of the active range of motion in the wrist contralateral to their hemiplegia (AROM).The combined group was also evaluated using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) before treatment and after the 4 weeks.Results After 2 and 4 weeks of the treatment,the average BI,AROM,FMA and BSULH results had improved significantly compared with before the treatment.The improvements in the combined group were significantly greater than in the other groups after 2 and 4 weeks.The fMRI demonstrated that there were high-intensity signals in the primary motor area,the premotor area and the supplementary motor area on the affected side after 4 weeks of treatment.Conclusions Mirror therapy combined with Tungdu Xingshen acupuncture can improve the functional performance of the upper extremities of stroke survivors.
RESUMEN
The therapeutic efficacy of large bone defects with traditional methods, such as autograft or allograft and biomaterial filling, is not favorable and hinders the widely clinical application. Bone tissue engineering has provided a promising way to solve this problem, and has become one of the hotspots nowadays. However, the key technology of vascularization has not been solved ideally yet. Obviously, the routine treatment has become a challenge in repairing large bone defect. In order to find a clinically applicable bone tissue engineering approach, we put forward and established a microcirculation system of osteogenesis inducted by perfusion in vivo. The "regulable osteoinduction microcirculation/microenvironment system in vivo (ROIMS)" has characteristics as follows: the culture conditions are controlled. For example, the release of a variety of growth factors can be controlled stably and quantitatively at bone defect site. Early nutrition and revascularization in the center of tissue-engineered bone can be effectively solved; some shortcomings resulted from construction of tissue-engineered bone in vivo, including secondary injury, high level technical requirements, and complex operation, can be avoided; vascularization and osteogenesis can be constructed simultaneously; simple safe and efficient operation. ROIMS perfectly combines in vitro construction and in vivo construction of tissue-engineered bone. Thereby, we can expect that this new type of technology of tissue engineered bone will be used in clinic in a near future and finally repair large segmental bone defects in clinic.
RESUMEN
The repair of massive bone defect is one of the challenges to clinical performance. The therapeutic efficacy of classic methods, such as repair with autograft, alograft and biomaterial-filling and so on, is not optimal and hinders its widely clinical use. Bone tissue engineering has provided a promising way to solve this problem, and has become one of the hotspots nowadays. However, the key technology of vascularization hasn’t been solved ideally yet. Obviously, the routine train of thoughts is faced up with big challenge in repaiering large bone defect. In order to find a clinically applicable bone tissue engineering approach, we brought forward and set up a microcirculation system of osteogenesis inducted by perfusion in vivo.
RESUMEN
@#目的探讨药物注射配合强化训练对颅脑损伤患者运动功能的影响。方法将60例住院颅脑损伤患者随机分为治疗组(30例)和对照组(30例)。治疗组在常规综合康复治疗基础上加用针对性药物注射治疗及强化训练,而对照组单纯采用康复治疗。两个疗程(20天/疗程)后,采用Fugl- Meyer运动功能量表评定两组的治疗效果。结果两组患者的运动功能均有改善 ,但治疗组的改善程度明显优于对照组(P<0.01)。结论药物注射配合强化训练能够明显改善颅脑损伤患者的运动功能。
