简介:摘要Background and aimIn Multiple Sclerosis (MS) spasticity worsen patient′s quality of life. Botulinum NeuroToxin TypeA (BoNT-A) is extensively used in focal spasticity, frequently combined with physical therapies. Radial extracorporeal shock waves (rESW) were already used in association with BoNT-A. Considering that loss of efficacy and adverse events are determinants of BoNT-A treatment interruption, this study aimed to evaluate the possibility to prolong BoNT-A′s effect by using rESW in MS focal spasticity.MethodsSixteen MS patients with spasticity of triceps surae muscles were first subjected to BoNT-A therapy and, four months later, to 4 sections of rESWT. Patients were evaluated before, 30, 90 days after the end of the treatments, by using Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), Modified Tardieu Scale (MTS) and kinematic analysis of passive and active ankle ROM.ResultsBoNT-A determined a significant reduction of spasticity evaluated by MAS with a reduction of positive effects after 4months (P<0.05); MTS highlighted the efficacy only 90 days after injection (P<0.05). rESWT decreased MAS values at the end and 30 days later the treatment (P<0.01); MTS values showed instead a prolonged effect (P<0.01). BoNT-A determined a gain of passive and active ankle ROM, persisting along with treatment and peaking the maximum value after rESWT (P<0.05).ConclusionsrESWT can prolong BoNT-A effect inducing significant reduction of spasticity and improvement in passive and active ankle ROM in MS patients. The use of rESWT following BoNT-A injection is useful to avoid some limitations and to prolong the therapeutic effects of BoNT-A therapy.
简介:摘要ObjectivesTo investigate whether botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injection is more effective than radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy in reducing plantar flexor muscle spasticity in subjects with cerebral palsy.MethodsA total of 68 subjects with cerebral palsy were randomly allocated to BTX-A injection (Group 1) or radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (Group 2) (first experiment; E1). Outcome was evaluated using the Tardieu V1 and V3 stretches, at 3 weeks, 2 months (M2) and M3 after baseline. At M6 subjects in Group 1 received radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy and subjects in Group 2 received BTX-A injection (second experiment; E2); outcome was evaluated as in E1. Treatment success was defined as improvement in foot dorsiflexion ≥10° when performing the V3 stretch at M2 in both experiments.ResultsIn both experiments mean V1 and V3 significantly improved over time. In E1 both treatments resulted in similar treatment success. In E2 fewer subjects treated with BTX-A injection reached the criteria of treatment success than did subjects treated with radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy, which was due to a carry-over effect from E1. No significant complications were observed.ConclusionBTX-A injection is not superior to radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy in the treatment of plantar flexor muscle spasticity in subjects with cerebral palsy.

简介:在考古学的发现的底上,米饭的最早的驯服在中间和更低的Changjiang河盆被证实了,当在这个区域野米饭人口与冻结冬季寒冷在气候下面在浅沼泽地被发现时。这些调查结果铅我们覆查关于米饭的驯服和区别的过去的想法。历史上,在1930年代二亚种,indica和装饰用的梨树,在在他们之间的F1混血儿根据绝育被建议。此后不久那,二种类型被很多个遗传上独立的特点的协会分类。特点的典型协会被被假定包括一套副本的混合绝育或繁殖障碍解释了后退的致命的基因并且是内部基因机制导致品种的区别。在1980年代,在Indica和装饰用的梨树类型之间的混合绝育被分析,并且当生气时,把肥沃的混血儿给Indica和装饰用的梨树类型的Indica,装饰用的梨树,和宽相容性的类型,被证明包含等位基因,S5i,S5j和S5n,分别地在染色体6上的一个地点。并且当没有配偶子流产发生在S5i/S5n和S5j/S5n遗传型时,让S5j等位基因被发现部分是的那些配偶子在S5i/S5j的混合遗传型流产了。从那以后,基因S5n在繁殖获得在亚种之间的肥沃、精力旺盛的混血儿的混合米饭被使用了,并且混合绝育的长争论的问题被解决了。另外,在如此的研究,特点的典型协会在每品种的组发现了被创始人效果更好解释。在另一方面,米饭的很多本国的栽培变种与分子的标记在1980年代并且以后与酶多型性被调查。作为结果,深刻基因差异在栽培米饭以及在野米饭被发现。这些调查结果似乎带我们到米饭的多重独立驯服的想法。然而在得出如此的一个结论前,至少二个因素,即,一些遗传型的long-distance-dissemination和由到原始栽培变种的本地野米饭的基因渗入的可能性需要被检验。考虑二个因素以及历史的事件,在Changjiang河盆接近野米饭的长期的装饰用的�
