“5·12”汶川大地震发生已过去9个月，多数地震伤员已康复出院，回归社会，社区康复成为时下我们医务工作者的焦点。我们应当抓住地震伤员全面康复的时机，通过政府和康复工作者的努力，使社区康复尽快正规、完善，更重要的是要让广大地震伤员认识康复、参与康复，实现全面康复，让其真正回归家庭和社会。
Under the new era background of actively advocating the " active health” in the elderly, the prevention methods of falls not only include environmental modification, reasonable drugs, emotional support, disease prevention and control, etc., but exercise should also be integrated into them. Exercise training can significantly improve muscle strength, balance, and mobility in the elderly, thereby reducing the risk of falls. This paper reviews the biomechanical causes of falls in the elderly, the sports training prescriptions for fall prevention in the elderly, and the research prospects of sports training for fall prevention in the elderly. It is hoped that the elderly population could establish an active healthy lifestyle based on sports training, elevate the physical fitness continuously, reduce the fall injury, and improve the quality of life through strength, balance, and endurance training.
Objective? To investigate the dysfunction information of children suffering from Wenchuan earthquake and analyze their rehabilitation requirements. Methods A survey of rehabil itation requirements of 87 children with earthquake injuries was performed using self-made questionnaires. Results Among the 87 children investigated, 64.4% suffered from restricted joint range of motion, 95.4% had abnormal sensory (pain occupying 89.7%). Conclusion The earl ier the patients received the rehabilitation therapy, the better for them to recover functions, improve activity ability in daily life and promote participation ability.
Scoliosis is a complex three-dimensional spinal deformity, characterized by lateral curvature and vertebral rotation. Radiology plays important roles in the assessments of lateral curvature and vertebral rotation of the patients with scoliosis, as well as the prediction of progression and treatment outcomes of scoliosis. The reliable and validity of radiological assessments have been proved in the coronal, transverse, and sagittal planes of scoliotic spine. With the application of the stereoradiography, three dimensional nature of the scoliosis has been disclosed. This review aims to summarize the radiological methods for the assessments of scoliotic spine, the reliability and validity of each method, as well as the stereoradiography, providing the basis for accurate diagnosis and assessments for the patients with scoliosis.
The study aims to explore the effect of mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes (MSCs-Exo) on staurosporine (STS)-induced chondrocyte apoptosis before and after exposure to pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) at different frequencies. The AMSCs were extracted from the epididymal fat of healthy rats before and after exposure to the PEMF at 1 mT amplitude and a frequency of 15, 45, and 75 Hz, respectively, in an incubator. MSCs-Exo was extracted and identified. Exosomes were labeled with DiO fluorescent dye, and then co-cultured with STS-induced chondrocytes for 24 h. Cellular uptake of MSC-Exo, apoptosis, and the protein and mRNA expression of aggrecan, caspase-3 and collagenⅡA in chondrocytes were observed. The study demonstrated that the exposure of 75 Hz PEMF was superior to 15 and 45 Hz PEMF in enhancing the effect of exosomes in alleviating chondrocyte apoptosis and promoting cell matrix synthesis. This study lays a foundation for the regulatory mechanism of PEMF stimulation on MSCs-Exo in inhibiting chondrocyte apoptosis, and opens up a new direction for the prevention and treatment of osteoarthritis.
A 7.0 Ms earthquake hit Lushan country at Ya’an city of Sichuan province at 8:02 am, on April 20th, 2013. Rehabilitation medicine department of the West China Hospital, a regional state-level hospital arrived at stricken area, and super early rehabilitation rescue was organized at the second day after Lushan earthquake. On the third day after Lushan earthquake, patients receiving super early rehabilitation intervention were moved forward to orthopedics, neurosurgery, thoracic surgery, pediatric surgery and ICU for super early rehabilitation intervention. Up to 6 pm, 14 days after the earthquake, 69 wounded in total were admitted in early rehabilitation. The experiences of Wenchuan earthquake has been applied, improved and sublimated more rapidly, more appropriately, more effectively in the Lushan earthquake rehabilitation rescue.
