To verify the clinical efficacy on rear thigh muscles strain of athletes treated with surrounding needling of electroacupuncture and hot compress of Chinese medicine.Eighty-six cases were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 43 cases in each one. In the observation group, surrounding needling of electroacupuncture and hot compress of Chinese medicine were used at Ashi points around the local affected area of rear thigh muscles. In the control group, conventional needling method and local cupping were applied at Chengfu (BL 36), Yinmen (BL 37), Weizhong (BL 40), etc. The treatment was given once a day. Ten treatments made one session. Two sessions were required. The score of rear thigh muscles pain, swelling and tenderness, walking function recovery and the total score were compared before and after treatment between two groups. The efficacy was compared between two groups.The score of pain, swelling and tenderness, walking function recovery and the total score were reduced obviously after treatmeat in two groups (all P < 0.01), and the improvements in the observation group were superior to those in the control group (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). The cured and remarkably effective rate was 83.7% (36/43) in the observation group, which was better than 60.5% (26/43) in the control group (P < 0.05).The efficacy of the surrounding needling of electroacupuncture and the hot compress of Chinese medicine is significant on rear thigh muscles strain for the athletes, which is superior to that of the conventional needling method and cupping in terms of the improvements in the symptoms and physical signs as well as the recovery of the walking function.

HubMed - Low Level Laser therapy
Low-level laser therapy improves the inflammatory profile of rats with heart failure.

Following heart failure (HF), immune activation leads to an imbalance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been used as an anti-inflammatory treatment in several disease conditions. However, the effect of LLLT on the skeletal muscle of rats with HF remains unclear. The present report aimed to evaluate the influence of LLLT on the inflammatory profile of rats with HF. The left coronary artery was ligated to induce HF and a sham operation was performed in the control groups. Male Wistar rats (n = 49) were assigned to one of six groups: placebo sham rats (P-Sham; n = 8), LLLT at a dose of 3 J/cm(2) sham rats (3 J/cm(2)-Sham; n = 8), LLLT at a dose of 21 J/cm(2) sham rats (21 J/cm(2)-Sham; n = 8), placebo HF rats (P-HF; n = 9), LLLT at a dose of 3 J/cm(2) HF rats (3 J/cm(2)-HF; n = 8), and LLLT at a dose of 21 J/cm(2) HF rats (21 J/cm(2)-HF; n = 8). Four weeks after myocardial infarction or sham surgery, rats were subjected to LLLT (InGaAlP 660 nm, spot size 0.035 cm(2), output power 20 mW, power density 0.571 W/cm(2), energy density 3 or 21 J/cm(2), exposure time 5.25 s and 36.75 s) on the right gastrocnemius for 10 consecutive days. LLLT reduced plasma IL-6 levels (61.3 %; P < 0.01), TNF-α/IL-10 (61.0 %; P < 0.01) and IL-6/IL-10 ratios (77.3 %; P < 0.001) and increased IL-10 levels (103 %; P < 0.05) in the 21 J/cm(2)-HF group. Moreover, LLLT reduced the TNF-α (20.1 % and 21.3 %; both P < 0.05) and IL-6 levels (54.3 % and 37.8 %; P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively) and the IL-6/IL-10 ratio (59.7 % and 42.2 %; P < 0.001 and P < 0.05, respectively) and increased IL-10 levels (81.0 % and 85.1 %; both P < 0.05) and the IL-10/TNF-α ratio (171.5 % and 119.8 %; P < 0.001 and P < 0.05, respectively) in the gastrocnemius in the 3 J/cm(2)-HF and 21 J/cm(2)-HF groups. LLLT showed systemic and skeletal muscle anti-inflammatory effects in rats with HF.
