Abstract Background Patellar tendinitis is common in jumping sports. Pain from patellar tendinopathy is challenging to manage. Dry needling as a stand-alone treatment for tendinopathy is supported. To our knowledge, dry needling has never been used alone. This case report depicts dry needling on the proximal patellar pole. Case description A 43-year-old male presented with left suprapatellar tendinitis. He was injured four months before beginning dry needling while playing futsal without warming up. The superior pole of the patellar was tender to palpation and caused moderate pain. At 20 degrees of knee flexion, discomfort began during double leg squats. The Clarke’s Sign, Eccentric Step, and Step Up tests showed positive results. The patient received five sessions of DN at the proximal pole of the patella twice weekly. This study’s primary outcomes were the numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), the Kujala Anterior Knee Pain Scale (AKPS), the global rating of change scale (GRC), and the angle of knee flexion during the squat. The researcher collected data at the five stages. Outcomes The patient’s primary outcome measures improved after three weeks of DN and three months of follow-up. The NPRS showed a reduction in pain, while the AKPS demonstrated a decrease in disability. Conclusion The successful treatment of a patient with suprapatellar tendinopathy utilizing DN is possibly described for the first time in this case report. This study demonstrated the efficacy of dry needling as a first-line treatment for managing chronic tendinopathy with a history of trauma.

Abstract Background High morbidity has been proved frequently happened in post-stroke shoulder pain (PSSP), but the specific pathogenesis of PSSP still remains unclear. Therefore, further research needs to be done to investigate this field. Objective The aim of this study which reviewed the features of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on shoulder joint of patients with PSSP, is to find the consequence of pathogenesis. Methods This study starts from June 2017 to August 2021, 74 PSSP patients who accepted MRI examination were selected in the Department of rehabilitation medicine of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University (inpatient and outpatient). This study sorted out and summarized patients’ MRI characteristics, analyzing differences of MRI appearance according to age, gender, hemiplegic side, stroke type and onset time. Results After examining all PSSP patients’ MRI characteristics, this study found 56 (75.67%) had supraspinatus tendon injury, 11 (14.86%) infraspinatus tendon injury, 24 (32.43%) subscapular tendon injury, 2 (2.7%) teres minor tendon injury, 60 (81.08%) tendon sheath effusion (inflammation) of long head of biceps brachii, 23 (31.08%) humeral head bone marrow edema and 64 (86.49%) shoulder joint capsule effusion. Moreover, there were 6 cases of acromial descending sac effusion (8.11%), 11 cases of coracoid descending sac effusion (14.86%), 8 cases of synovial thickening (10.81%), and 1 case of ossifying myositis (1.35%). Conclusion No significant differences were found in MRI features according to gender and hemiplegic side .The results showed the injury of supraspinatus tendon significantly increased in the older group compared to the younger group (P=0.039).The patients with supraspinatus tendon injury and tendon sheath effusion (inflammation) of long head of biceps brachii have higher cerebral infarction than patients with cerebral hemorrhage (P=0.002, P=0.028). Based on the time of onset, the participants were divided into three groups: within 1 month, 1–3 months and more than 3 months. The results suggested significant differences in humeral head bone marrow edema and shoulder joint capsule effusion numbers among the three groups (P=0.049, P=0.002). The results of this research could help to improve the accuracy of clinical diagnosis and treatment of PSSP, putting forward a more reasonable treatment scheme.

Abstract Objective To assess the efficacy of adding exercise to high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) in improving treatment effectiveness for clinical outcomes in patients with subacromial pain syndrome. Methods Thirty patients with subacromial pain syndrome were randomly assigned to the HILT-only group (n=15) or HILT&Exercise group (n=15). The primary outcome was shoulder function and disability. Secondary outcomes were pain, range of motion, proprioception (joint position sense), and muscle strength. Results Shoulder function and disability, pain, range of motion, joint position sense, and some muscle strength improved in both groups (p<0.05). There was no significant time-group interaction for the Constant-Murley Score, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index, rest pain, range of motion, and joint position sense (p>0.05). Time-group showed significant effects for activity pain and strength in favor of the HILT&Exercise group. Middle trapezius, lower trapezius, and supraspinatus strength increased after HILT plus exercise (p<0.05), activity pain, upper trapezius, serratus anterior, and subscapularis strength improved more compared to HILT (p<0.05). Conclusions We found no clinically important differences between HILT and HILT-plus exercise in shoulder function and disability, rest pain, mobility, and proprioception, in patients with subacromial pain syndrome. The addition of exercise to HILT was superior to HILT for improving activity pain and muscle strength.

Abstract Objective To explore the effects of different-intensity intermediate frequency therapy on functional recovery of patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods Three-band electromagnetic waves of constant amplitude intermediate frequency electrotherapy group (Group A), interference electrotherapy group (Group B) and modulated intermediate frequency electrotherapy group (Group C) were used to treat knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients, 20 min/time, 1 time/day and 5 days/week for four weeks. Other rehabilitation items were performed the same way. The rehabilitation therapy were evaluated by VAS score, Timed Up and Go test and balance ability. Results After 4 weeks of treatment, the treatment effects of the three groups were all significant compared with the pre-treatment. Among the three groups, the treatment effect of Group B was better than that of the other two groups, and there was no significant difference in the treatment effect between Group A and Group C. Conclusion According to thee. g.results, it is possible that the interference current is of a great action depth, and the "endogenous" low-frequency modulated intermediate frequency current possesses the advantages of both low and intermediate frequency, so with the intermediate frequency current getting through the high resistance of skin, the current effect of the low and intermediate frequency in the deep part of the human body can be achieved.
摘要目的探讨不同强度中频治疗对膝骨关节炎患者功能恢复的影响。方法采用恒幅中频电疗组（A组）、干扰电疗组、调制中频电疗（C组）三个频段的电磁波治疗膝骨关节炎（KOA）患者，20 分钟/次、1次/天和5天/周持续四周。其他康复项目也以同样的方式进行。采用VAS评分、Timed Up and Go测试和平衡能力评定康复治疗效果。结果治疗4周后，三组疗效均较治疗前显著。三组中，B组治疗效果优于其他两组，A组与C组治疗效果无显著差异。 g.结果表明，干扰电流可能具有较大的作用深度，而“内源性”低频调制中频电流具有低频和中频的优点，因此中频电流通过皮肤的高电阻，可以实现人体深部低频和中频的电流效应。

Background The standing flexion test (SFT) is an orienting test, supporting to diagnose a sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJ-D) in manual medicine. However, the literature research for this term shows the paucity of according investigations. The aim is to investigate the importance of the SFT with regard to possible functional disorder of the SIJ. Method Teachers of the Medical Association for Manual Medicine (physiotherapists and physicians) were asked to fill in a documentation sheet considering different exsmination procedures belonging to routine manual medicine anamnestic findings. The only inclusion criterion was the positive SFT. The results are presented descriptive with according percentages. Results From January to August 2019, a total of 366 SIJ data sheets with positive SFTs were completed by 20 ÄMM-teachers, involving six imcomplete ones. 263 of the 360 patients enrolled actually had a SIJ-D (73.06%).Further relevant results refer to pain oft he SIJ region (205 of 360; 173 with SIJ-D), the Patrick-Kubis-Test (246 of 360; 201 with SIJ-D), the pelvic tilt (134 of 360; 134 with SIJ-D), the pelvic torsion (209 of 360; 164 with SIJ-D) and the increased iliac muscle tone (282 of 360; 216 with SIJ-D). Discussion After a positive SFT, the Patrick-Kubis-test, the tonus check of the iliac muscle and the indication of pain in the SIJ-region can be used for the diagnosis of a SIJ-D. If at least two of the three aspects are conspicuous, SIJ-D is very likely to be present.

Zusammenfassung Einleitung In Deutschland leiden 6–10% der Menschen an klinisch relevanten Schlafstörungen, insbesondere unter der arbeitenden Bevölkerung. Werden diese chronisch, können sie zu schwerwiegenden Erkrankungen führen und einen beträchtlichen Teil der Abwesenheit vom Arbeitsplatz ausmachen. Deshalb wurde ein Kneippkurprogramm für nicht-organische Schlafstörungen als ein nicht-medikamentöses Behandlungskonzept im Kurort Füssen entwickelt und überprüft. Methodik Randomisierte monozentrische klinische Studie mit 5 Erhebungszeitpunkten (prä-/post-Intervention, 1, 3 und 6 Monate nach Intervention). Intervention: 19-tägiges multimodales Kneippprogramm (Ordnungstherapie, Hydro- und Thermotherapie, Bewegungstherapie). Primäre Zielgröße: Subjektive Schlafqualität (PSQI-Gesamtscore von 0–21 Punkte:≤5 Punkte=gesunder Schlaf, PSQI-Wert 5–10 Punkte=schlechte Schlafqualität, PSQI-Gesamtscore>10 Punkte=chronische Schlafstörung). Sekundäre Zielgrößen: Allgemeines Wohlbefinden (WHO-5-Wellbeing-Index), chronische Stressbelastung (TICS), dysfunktionale Überzeugungen zum Schlaf (DAB-16), Teilnehmerzufriedenheit. Ergebnisse 96 Erwachsene mit Schlafstörungen (mittleres Alter 56 Jahre, 83% weiblich) wurden in eine Interventionsgruppe IG (N=47) und Wartekontrollgruppe WG (N=49) randomisiert. Zu Studienbeginn gab es keine relevanten Gruppenunterschiede (PSQI-Gesamtwerte: IG 11,7±3,1, WG: 10,6±3,0). Nach 1, 3 und 6 Monaten erhöhte sich der Anteil guter Schläfer deutlich stärker in IG versus WG: 34 vs. 10% nach 1 Monat, 40 vs. 12% nach 3 Monaten sowie 28 vs. 14% nach 6 Monaten. Nach 1, 3 und 6 Monaten reduzierte sich der mittlere PSQI-Gesamtscore deutlich stärker in IG als in der WG: − 4,44 Pkt. vs. − 1,14 Pkt. nach 1 Monat (p=0,001), − 4,19 Pkt. vs. − 1,14 Pkt. nach 3 Monaten (p=0,014]) und − 3,53 Pkt. vs. − 1,28 Pkt. nach sechs Monaten (p=0,111). Dabei erzielte die IG eine klinisch relevante Reduktion des PSQI-Scores von minus 3 Punkten zu allen Messzeitpunkten im Follow-up. Vergleichbare positive Effekte zeigten sich bei der IG bzgl. des allgemeinen Wohlbefindens, der chronischen Stressbelastung und den dysfunktionalen Gedanken zum Schlaf. Schlussfolgerung Die ambulante multimodale Kneippkur erzielte signifikante Verbesserungen bei Schlafqualität und Wohlbefinden sowie eine Reduktion der chronischen Stressbelastung bei Erwachsenen mit nicht-organischen Schlafstörungen. Die Nachhaltigkeit der Effekte über 6 Monate hinaus müssten in weiteren Studien untersucht werden.

Werden diese chronisch, können sie zu schwerwiegenden Erkrankungen führen und einen beträchtlichen Teil der Abwesenheit vom Arbeitsplatz ausmachen. Deshalb wurde ein Kneippkurprogramm für nicht-organische Schlafstörungen als ein nicht-medikamentöses Behandlungskonzept im Kurort Füssen entwickelt und überprüft. Methodik Randomisierte monozentrische klinische Studie mit 5 Erhebungszeitpunkten (prä-/post-Intervention, 1, 3 und 6 Monate nach Intervention). Intervention: 19-tägiges multimodales Kneippprogramm (Ordnungstherapie, Hydro- und Thermotherapie, Bewegungstherapie). Primäre Zielgröße: Subjektive Schlafqualität (PSQI-Gesamtscore von 0–21 Punkte:≤5 Punkte=gesunder Schlaf, PSQI-Wert 5–10 Punkte=schlechte Schlafqualität, PSQI-Gesamtscore>10 Punkte=chronische Schlafstörung). Sekundäre Zielgrößen: Allgemeines Wohlbefinden (WHO-5-Wellbeing-Index), chronische Stressbelastung (TICS), dysfunktionale Überzeugungen zum Schlaf (DAB-16), Teilnehmerzufriedenheit. Ergebnisse 96 Erwachsene mit Schlafstörungen (mittleres Alter 56 Jahre, 83% weiblich) wurden in eine Interventionsgruppe IG (N=47) und Wartekontrollgruppe WG (N=49) randomisiert. Zu Studienbeginn gab es keine relevanten Gruppenunterschiede (PSQI-Gesamtwerte: IG 11,7±3,1, WG: 10,6±3,0). Nach 1, 3 und 6 Monaten erhöhte sich der Anteil guter Schläfer deutlich stärker in IG versus WG: 34 vs. 10% nach 1 Monat, 40 vs. 12% nach 3 Monaten sowie 28 vs. 14% nach 6 Monaten. Nach 1, 3 und 6 Monaten reduzierte sich der mittlere PSQI-Gesamtscore deutlich stärker in IG als in der WG: − 4,44 Pkt. vs. − 1,14 Pkt. nach 1 Monat (p=0,001), − 4,19 Pkt. vs. − 1,14 Pkt. nach 3 Monaten (p=0,014]) und − 3,53 Pkt. vs. − 1,28 Pkt. nach sechs Monaten (p=0,111). Dabei erzielte die IG eine klinisch relevante Reduktion des PSQI-Scores von minus 3 Punkten zu allen Messzeitpunkten im Follow-up. Vergleichbare positive Effekte zeigten sich bei der IG bzgl. des allgemeinen Wohlbefindens, der chronischen Stressbelastung und den dysfunktionalen Gedanken zum Schlaf. Schlussfolgerung Die ambulante multimodale Kneippkur erzielte signifikante Verbesserungen bei Schlafqualität und Wohlbefinden sowie eine Reduktion der chronischen Stressbelastung bei Erwachsenen mit nicht-organischen Schlafstörungen. Die Nachhaltigkeit der Effekte über 6 Monate hinaus müssten in weiteren Studien untersucht werden.","PeriodicalId":54611,"journal":{"name":"Physikalische Medizin Rehabilitationsmedizin Kurortmedizin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48836342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Abstract Objective It was planned to investigate the effects of proprioceptive exercises applied to patients with hemiplegia on muscle tone, balance, perception, posture, mobility, and spatiotemporal parameters. Materials and Methods 70 participants with hemiplegia were randomized to an experimental group (conventional stroke rehabilitation program+proprioceptive exercise, 30 sessions) and a control group (conventional stroke rehabilitation program, 30 sessions). Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test, Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), Posture Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients (PASS), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Rivermead Mobility Index (RMI), Spatiotemporal parameters (cadence, maximum plantar pressure, total weight transfer, step cycle duration, swing phase, step length and foot angle), and Berg Balance Scale (BERG) were applied on all participants before and after treatment. Results When the intra-group values were compared before and after the treatment, TUG, PASS, MMSE, RMI and BERG values increased significantly. MAS upper extremity and MAS lower extremity values decreased significantly. (p<0.01). In the comparison between the groups, one of the spatiotemporal parameters, cadence, total weight transfer, and maximum plantar pressure values, increased significantly after the treatment. Step cycle duration, swing phase, step length and foot angle values decreased significantly after the treatment. (p<0.01) Conclusion Unlike the literature, proprioceptive exercises that we add to the conventional rehabilitation program can be used to improve muscle tone, balance, perception, postural control, mobility, and spatiotemporal parameters.
摘要目的探讨本体感觉训练对偏瘫患者肌肉张力、平衡、知觉、姿势、活动能力和时空参数的影响。材料与方法将70例偏瘫患者随机分为实验组(常规脑卒中康复方案+本体感觉训练，30个疗程)和对照组(常规脑卒中康复方案，30个疗程)。治疗前后采用TUG (Timed Up and Go)测试、MAS (Modified Ashworth Scale)、PASS (Posture Assessment Scale for Stroke)、MMSE (Mini-Mental State Examination)、Rivermead Mobility Index (RMI)、时空参数(节奏、最大足底压力、总重量转移、步幅周期持续时间、摇摆相位、步幅长度和足角)、Berg Balance Scale (Berg)。结果治疗前后组内值比较，TUG、PASS、MMSE、RMI、BERG值均显著升高。MAS上肢值和MAS下肢值明显下降。(p < 0.01)。在两组比较中，其中一项时空参数，节奏，总重量转移，最大足底压力值，治疗后显著增加。踏步周期持续时间、摆动相位、踏步长度和足角值在治疗后显著降低。结论与文献不同的是，我们在常规康复计划中加入本体感觉训练，可用于改善肌肉张力、平衡、知觉、姿势控制、活动能力和时空参数。

Background: Despite high expression of PD-L1, around half of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) will not experience tumor response with pembrolizumab. There is an need for a better understanding of the resistance mechanisms in this setting.
Methods: This bi-centric retrospective study included all consecutive patients with PDL1 ≥ 50% advanced NSCLC treated with pembrolizumab in first-line treatment between 2016 and 2020. We compared the clinical characteristics of patients with early progression (refractory) vs others. We performed a comprehensive gene expression profile screening by RNAseq capture on tumor samples.
Results: We included 46 patients. Twenty-two patients were refractory to pembrolizumab, mainly women, with poor performance status and lower albumin concentration. RNAseq analysis was performed on 19 samples. Hierarchical clustering allowed the identification of 3 clusters with various proportion of refractory tumors: intermediate (C1: 57%), high (C2: 71%) and low proportion (C3: 40%). Comparative analysis between C2 and C3 allowed the identification of overexpressed (n = 137) and underexpressed (n = 40) genes. Among the genes of interest, C2 exhibits higher activation of pathways associated with stemness phenotype (Hedgehog, Notch and Hippo pathways) and pathways associated with loss of PTEN and JAK2. In C2, genes associated with PD-1, toll-like receptor-9 (TLR-9), major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and interferon-γ pathways were underexpressed.
Conclusion: This study gives an overview of activated and downregulated pathways in high PD-L1 NSCLC refractory to pembrolizumab. These tumors showed activation of pathways associated with cancer stem cells, loss of PTEN and JAK2, and inhibition of both priming and effector phases of the immune response.
