BACKGROUND: Transcutaneous nerve electrical stimulation has the advantages of non-invasiveness and convenience, and is one of the commonly used physical factors for the treatment of chronic neck pain. However, the current clinical use of percutaneous nerve electrical stimulation equipment has high cost and specific site requirements. It is necessary to actively explore economic, convenient and effective methods for the treatment of cervical pain. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical effect of small-sized attached transcutaneous nerve electrical stimulation combined with cervical health education on chronic cervical pain. METHODS: From November 2020 to July 2021, 22 patients with chronic cervical pain were recruited in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, including 5 males and 17 females, at the age of 18-60 years. On the basis of cervical posture education and cervical muscle home stretching training, a small-sized attached transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator was used every day for 15 minutes lasting for 2 weeks. The changes of pain visual analogue scale score, muscle pressure pain threshold, and neck disability index were evaluated before treatment, immediately after the first treatment, 1 and 2 weeks after treatment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Compared with baseline score, the pain score evaluated immediately after the first treatment, 1 and 2 weeks after treatment decreased significantly in 22 patients (P < 0.05). The left cervical pain scores decreased immediately and 2 weeks after treatment (P < 0.05). (2) Compared with baseline data, the pressure pain threshold of the left and right trapezius muscles in 22 patients increased significantly 2 weeks after treatment (P < 0.05). Pressure pain threshold at 1 cm from left and right C5C6 spinous process increased significantly 2 weeks after treatment (P < 0.05). (3) Compared with baseline, neck disability index decreased 2 weeks after treatment in 22 patients (P < 0.05). (4) The results showed that small-sized attached transcutaneous nerve electrical stimulation combined with home exercise could remarkably reduce cervical pain immediately and in the short term. The muscle pressure pain threshold and cervical function were also improved in the short term. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BACKGROUND: The combination of three-dimensional (3D) printing and medical workers in outpatient and digital medical education is constantly improving and developing. The application of 3D printing medical-industrial outpatient mode to the clinical practice and teaching of digital medicine will be an innovative combination during the rapid development of 3D printing. This new mode will also further promote the development of applied medicine. OBJECTIVE: To compare the advantages of 3D printing integrated medicine-industry outpatient clinic with traditional medical teaching and 3D printing medical teaching, and expounds in detail the clinical practice teaching case of 3D printing medical worker combination clinic of the Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. METHODS: The teaching methods of traditional medicine and 3D printing medicine were investigated and compared with 3D printing integrated medicineindustry outpatient clinic at Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University in terms of “teaching, education, digital medicine”. We discussed the composition of 3D printing integrated medicine-industry outpatient clinic, investigated the development of 3D printing items, and summarized the number of participants who had participated in the training of 3D printing integrated medicine-industry outpatient clinic as well as the number of international conferences held in the 3D printing clinic center of Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital from January 2018 to January 2021, thereby expounding the important role of 3D printing integrated medicine-industry outpatient clinic in the development of digital medical education. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The traditional medical education that proceeds in a large classroom is boring, in which students are easy to lose their attention and difficult to master knowledge comprehensively. 3D printing medical education could improve the understanding of abstract content in medical education, but there is a lack of clinical translation potential in 3D printing. 3D printing medical-industrial outpatient clinics could cultivate the transformation thinking of medical-industrial talents, train the students’ ability to transform scientific research achievements, and help the smooth implementation of clinical research achievements. 3D printing medical-industrial outpatient clinics at Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital has successfully produced personalized orthoses for patients, with the characteristics of interdisciplinary interaction, medical and industrial talent interaction, and system training. It took the lead in the development and exploration of 3D printing medical-industrial outpatient clinic in the clinical practice and teaching of digital medicine, and has achieved good results. At present, there are 42 Master/MD candidates and 137 trainees in the 3D printing medical-industrial outpatient clinic. It has held 10 international conferences on rehabilitation medicine and engineering, and 6 international conferences on the clinical transformation of advanced technologies in rehabilitation medicine and engineering, all of which have a profound impact on the development of 3D printing digital medicine education over the world. To conclude, the teaching mode based on 3D printing medical-industrial outpatient clinics is not only beneficial to training students’ scientific research and innovation ability guided by clinical needs, but also conducive to the development of cutting-edge disciplines such as translational medicine, tissue engineering, rehabilitation engineering and biomedical engineering.

BACKGROUND: At present, conservative and surgical treatments are difficult to cure tendinitis. A minimally invasive and convenient treatment has not been widely used in clinical practice. Objective: To explore the feasibility of applying ultrasonic emulsification device to treat Achilles tendinitis in a rabbit model of Achilles tendinitis. Method s: Thirty New Zealand rabbits were randomized into a control group, a model group and an ultrasonic emulsification group. A model of Achilles tendinitis was built in the model and ultrasonic emulsification groups by collagenase injection. Rabbits in the control and model groups were only given normal saline, while those in the ultrasonic emulsification group were subjected to ultrasonic emulsification under guidance of B-mode ultrasonic scan within at 3 weeks after modeling. Three weeks after treatment, tendon repair was estimated by biomechanical analysis, hydroxyproline concentration measurement, and hematoxylin-eosin staining of the tendon tissue. Results and Conclusion : Three weeks after ultrasonic emulsification treatment, hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that the disordered arrangement of collagen fibers and the cell condensation were improved compared with the model group, while the biomechanical analysis and hydroxyproline concentration showed no relief in tendinitis. Therefore, ultrasonic emulsification treatment has an application prospect in tendon repair; however, it is necessary to further explore and optimize the treatment parameters and modes to improve the therapeutic effect in many aspects.
