Objective: To observe the clinical effect of six-step manipulation combined with extracorporeal shock wave in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.

Methods: Seventy-six patients with KOA from December 2016 to June 2018 were divided into control group and treatment group, 38 in each group. The patients in the control group were treated with oral medicine combined with extracorporeal shock wave therapy, while the patients in the treatment group were treated with six-step manipulation combined with shock wave therapy. The VAS score, WOMAC score and clinical efficacy of the two groups were compared before treatment, 1 day, 1 month and 6 months after treatment.

Results: There was no significant difference in VAS score and WOMAC score between the two groups before treatment(>0.05). VAS score and WOMAC score in treatment group were significantly lower than those in control group at 1 day, 1 month and 6 months after treatment, and the difference was statistically significant(<0.05).

Conclusions: Six-step manipulation combined with extracorporeal shock wave therapy can significantly alleviate pain and improve knee function in patients with knee osteoarthritis, and the clinical effect is obvious.

Objectives: This study investigated the effectiveness of simulation training in improving the confidence and competency of oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) residents in performing orthognathic surgery (OGS).

Methods: Kern's six-step approach was applied when designing the simulation training for OMS residents. The difficulties encountered by the residents when learning OGS were considered when designing the training program.

Time-dependent linear system (TDLS) is usually encountered in scientific research, which is the mathematical formulation of many practical applications. Different from conventional inverse-need models, by utilizing zeroing neural network (ZNN) method twice, an inverse-free continuous ZNN (CZNN) model is developed for solving TDLS. For conveniently practical use, a discrete model is naturally desired.
