Article Synopsis
  • Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) is a common overuse injury that causes lateral knee pain and is typically treated through various methods like drug therapy, physical therapy, and surgery, which mainly relieve symptoms.
  • Physical therapy and drug treatments only alleviate symptoms, while targeted lower limb muscle strength training is highlighted as a safe and effective option that helps improve strength, corrects gait, and reduces recurrence.
  • The underlying causes of ITBS are still not well understood, indicating a need for more research into biomechanical factors and the development of effective muscle strength training strategies.

Objective: To observe the effects of methanol extracts from Atractylodes macro- cephalae Rhizoma (AMR) on the proliferation and migration of IEC-6 cell (small intestinal epithelial cells) and the expression of phospholipase C-γ1 (PLC-γ1) , and to explore the mechanism of AMR (a Chinese herb capable of invigorating Pi replenishing qi) for promoting repair of gastrointestinal mucosal injury.

Methods: IEC-6 cells were divided into the blank group, the positive control (spermidine, SPD; 5 μmol/L) group, AMR extracts groups (50, 100, and 200 mg/L). The alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO, polyamines synthesis inhibitor) group, the SPD +DFMO group, AMR extracts (50, 100, and 200 mg/L) +DF- MO groups were set up in stress test.

Objective: To investigate the effect of Sijunzi decoction polysaccharide( SJZDP) on intestinal epithelial cells( IEC-6)cell migration and polyamine signaling pathway potassium channel during intestinal epithelial cell migration, and to explore the mechanism of SJZDP on promoting gastrointestinal mucosal restitution after wounding.

Methods: Cell migration model was established by scratch damage, and then the effect of SJZDP normal cultured or with difluoromethylornithine( DFMO) and 4-aminopyridine( 4-AP) on IEC-6 cell migration was observed and calculated on this wounding model. The effect of SJZDP on expression of IEC-6 cell kv1.

Objective: To explore the early rehabilitation effect of acupuncture on brain arousal in severe craniocerebral injury.

Methods: One hundred and two cases of severe craniocerebral injury were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 51 cases in each one. Based on the conventional nursing care in neurological external medicine, in observation group, acupuncture was applied at Shuigou (GV 26), Neiguan (PC 6) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6) mainly.
