Extracorporeal shockwave therapy for treatment of delayed tendon-bone insertion healing in a rabbit model: a dose-response study.

Background: Tendon-bone insertion (TBI) consists of both hard and soft tissues. TBI injury with delayed repair is not uncommon. High-dose extracorporeal shockwave (ESW) is effective for treating nonunion fracture, whereas low-dose ESW is used for tendinopathy therapy.

Two antifungal components isolated from Fructus Psoraleae and Folium Eucalypti Globuli by bioassay-guided purification.

Fructus Psoraleae and Folium Eucalypti Globuli have long been used as Chinese medicines to treat various ailments such as asthma, eczema and dermatomycosis. In previous studies, their antifungal activities were demonstrated. The aim of the present study was to isolate active antidermatophytic compounds from their ethanolic extracts by means of bioassay-guided purification.
