The Efficacy of Needle-pricking Therapy and Rotating-pulling Manipulation on Vertebral Artery Cervical Spondylosis

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2017.100

Synopsis:

This randomized controlled study compared the effects of needle-pricking therapy and rotating-pulling manipulation on blood velocity, angiokinesis, and blood viscosity in patients with vertebral artery cervical spondylosis. The authors conclude that needle-pricking therapy in combination with rotating-pulling manipulation may be more effective in adjustment of the spine position and balance, local tissue, and system than rotating-pulling manipulation alone.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To compare, through randomized controlled trials of large samples of patients, the effects and mechanisms of needle-pricking therapy and rotating-pulling manipulation on blood velocity, angiokinesis, and blood viscosity in patients with vertebral artery cervical spondylosis.

Combining Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Susceptibility Weighted Imaging on the Substantia Nigra of 1-Methyl-4-Phenyl-1,2,3,6-Tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced Rhesus Monkey Model of Parkinson’s Disease

Vol 64, Issue 5: December (2015) – Special Issue on Health Sciences

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2016.051

Pages:

480–6

Synopsis:

Combining the use of diffusion tensor imaging and susceptibility weighted imaging can provide a sensitive method for differentiating between MPTP-induced rhesus monkey model of Parkinson’s disease and wild-type controls.

ABSTRACT

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether combining diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DTI) and susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) techniques would provide a sensitive method for differentiating between 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced rhesus monkey model of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and wild-type controls.

Synopsis:

D-dimer levels between patients with acute aortic dissection (AAD) were compared with patients acute intramural hematoma (AIH) retrospectively to determine whether there is any difference of serum D-dimer levels between patients with (AIH) and patients with AAD.

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study wasto evaluate whether there is difference of serum D-dimer between patients with aortic intramural hematoma and patients with classic acute aortic dissection.

Application of Computer Navigation-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery in Resection of Rib Tumour

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2015.528

Synopsis:

Based on our clinical experiences, the combined surgical method is especially feasible for the tiny tumour or some tumours that are unreachable or resided in scapula and deep face of breast.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Excision of rib tumors by conventional surgical method often results in poor prognosis due to trauma and heavily bleeding. In the present study, we evaluated the advantages of applying computer navigation-assisted thoracoscope in the resection of rib tumors.
