Despite the "itis" suffix, it is no an inflammatory process. Therapeutic approaches with topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, cortico steroids and anesthetics have limited benefit, as would be expected if inflammation is not involved. Other ap proaches have included provision of healing cytokine from blood products or stem cells, based on the recog nition that this repetitive effort-derived disorder repre sents injury. Noting calcification/ossification of tendon attachments to the lateral epicondyle(enthesitis), dry needling, radiofrequency, shock wave treatments and surgical approaches have also been pursued. Physi ologic approaches, including manipulation, therapeuti ultrasound, phonophoresis, iontophoresis, acupuncture and exposure of the area to low level laser light, ha also had limited success. This contrasts with the benefi of a simple mechanical intervention, reducing the stres on the attachment area. This is based on displacemen of the stress by use of a thin(3/4-1 inch) band applied just distal to the epicondyle. Thin bands are required as thick bands(e.g., 2-3 inch wide) simply reduce mus cle strength, without significantly reducing stress. Thi approach appears to be associated with a failure rateless than 1%, assuming the afflicted individual modifies the activity that repeatedly stresses the epicondylar attachments.展开更多

OBJECTIVE： To investigate the effects of spending a period of time undergoing tennis training on the latencies of VEPs by comparing the latencies of VEPs before tennis training with those after 8 weeks of tennis training. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： The non-randomly concurrent controlled experiment was performed in the Department of Human Movement Sciences, Physical Education College, Shandong Normal University from April to June 2007. PARTICIPANTS： In total, 45 healthy volunteers from Shandong Normal University were selected as subjects, including 31 students majoring in physical education （11 males and 5 females participated in the tennis training plan for 8 weeks）, and 14 students from other subjects. Informed consent was obtained. According to whether they were majoring in physical education or not, and whether or not they took part in tennis training, the students were divided into 3 groups： a tennis group of physical education students （n = 16） a non-tennis group of physical education students （n =15） and a non-tennis group of non-physical education students （n = 14）. METHODS： The subjects in the tennis group took part in a regular tennis training plan of 2 hours a day and 3 days per week, for 8 weeks, while the subjects in two non-tennis groups were not in the tennis training plan The NDI-200 neural electricity tester （Shanghai Haishen Medical Electronic Instrument Co., Ltd.） was used to measure VEPs before and after the experiment in all three groups, and to compare the latencies of VEPs recorded before training with those recorded after training. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： Comparison of the changes in latencies of VEPs before and after 8 weeks of tennis training. RESULTS： All 45 subjects finished the test and datas from all were included in the statistical analysis. There were no significant differences among all the three groups before tennis training, but the female subjects in each group showed significantly shorter N75 latencies than male subjects of the same group （P 〈 0.05）. Comparing the latencies of VEPs after training with those recorded before training, the N75, P100 and N145 latencies were all found to be significantly shorter than before training in the tennis group （P 〈 0.05）, but the N75, P100 and N145 latencies were unaffected in the two non-tennis groups （P 〉 0.05）; some latencies were even significantly longer than the before-training values. CONCLUSION： Special tennis training for 8 weeks can make the subjects＇ VEP latencies significantly shorter. Thus, VEP latencies can change with tennis training.展开更多

Firstly,camera calibration is performed by 40 mm gauge block to capture the images of table tennis ball in static and pressed state in an appropriate lighting condition. Then image binarization and extraction of image contour are carried out. The least square method is used to fit its center. Finally,the diameter,roundness and hardness are calculated. The measurement data are analyzed by using the method presented in this paper for table tennis ball with known parameter data and with unknown parameter data. Experimental results show that this method can improve measurement accuracy and provide a technical basis for the online testing and integration measurement of table tennis ball.展开更多

Eight PTT matches of each selected class （1, 2, 4 and 5） were analysed.The variables analysed were DR （duration of rally） and RT （rest time）. In observing the characteristics of the matches in Classes 1, 2, 4 and 5, the DR corresponded to 3.4 ± 1.2, 4.2 ± 1.5, 4.5 ± 1.6 and 5.2 ± 1.2 seconds, and RT to 13.8 ± 3.5, 14 ± 3.5, 13.3 ± 3.1 and 12.3± 3.3 seconds. In Classes 1 and 2, significant differences in DR were found, but none in RT （p 〉 0.05）. In the DR and RT of classes 4 and 5 there were significant differences （p 〈 0.05）. The results indicated that the DR in Classes 1 and 2 were different because of sitting balance due to severe reduction of function in Class 1 playing arm, interfering in the rally and rest. In Classes 4 and 5 the differences in DR and RT were caused by little sitting balance in Class 4. These characteristics should be used by coaches to check the disadvantages that Class 1 presents against Class 2, and the physical limitations of Class 4 that can directly influence DR in the team tournament against athletes with normal trunk muscle function （Class 5）. Planned training prescriptions between classes would aim at achieving better sport performance in training and team tournaments.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Due to the specificity of Chinese food types,gastric phytobezoars are relatively common in China.Most gastric phytobezoars can be removed by chemical enzyme lysis and endoscopic fragmentation,but the treatment for large phytobezoars is limited,and surgical procedures are often required for this difficult problem.CASE SUMMARY For giant gastric phytobezoars that cannot be dissolved and fragmented by conventional treatment,we have invented a new lithotripsy technique(tennis ball cord combined with endoscopy)for these phytobezoars.This non-interventional treatment was successful in a patient whose abdominal pain was immediately relieved,and the gastroscope-induced ulcer healed well 3 d after lithotripsy.The patient was followed-up for 8 wk postoperatively and showed no discomfort such as abdominal pain.CONCLUSION The combination of tennis ball cord and endoscopy for the treatment of giant gastric phytobezoars is feasible and showed high safety and effectiveness,and can be widely applied in hospitals of all sizes.
文摘The purpose of this study was to analyse and compare the match characteristics of wheelchair PTT （Para table tennis） classes that played in the team tournament at the Rio 2016 Paralympic. Eight PTT matches of each selected class （1, 2, 4 and 5） were analysed.The variables analysed were DR （duration of rally） and RT （rest time）. In observing the characteristics of the matches in Classes 1, 2, 4 and 5, the DR corresponded to 3.4 ± 1.2, 4.2 ± 1.5, 4.5 ± 1.6 and 5.2 ± 1.2 seconds, and RT to 13.8 ± 3.5, 14 ± 3.5, 13.3 ± 3.1 and 12.3± 3.3 seconds. In Classes 1 and 2, significant differences in DR were found, but none in RT （p 〉 0.05）. In the DR and RT of classes 4 and 5 there were significant differences （p 〈 0.05）. The results indicated that the DR in Classes 1 and 2 were different because of sitting balance due to severe reduction of function in Class 1 playing arm, interfering in the rally and rest. In Classes 4 and 5 the differences in DR and RT were caused by little sitting balance in Class 4. These characteristics should be used by coaches to check the disadvantages that Class 1 presents against Class 2, and the physical limitations of Class 4 that can directly influence DR in the team tournament against athletes with normal trunk muscle function （Class 5）. Planned training prescriptions between classes would aim at achieving better sport performance in training and team tournaments.
