A comparison of mobilization and mobilization with movement on pain and range of motion in people with lateral ankle sprain: A randomized clinical trial

BackgroundMaitland and Mulligan mobilization techniques are two manual therapy methods to increase the range of motion following immobility treatment. The present study was conducted to compare two therapeutic methods, namely mobilization and mobilization with movement (MWM), on the pain and range of motion in people with lateral ankle sprain.MethodsA total of 40 individuals with grade two lateral ankle sprain were randomly divided into two groups, including the Maitland's mobilization intervention group, and the Mulligan's mobilization intervention group. Both groups underwent treatment every other day for two consecutive weeks. The pain intensity was measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and the ankle dorsiflexion movement range using the Weight Bearing Lunge Test (WBLT) before and one day after the intervention.ResultsThere were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of pain (P = 0.297) and range of motion (P = 0.294) before the intervention. Meanwhile, after the intervention, a significant change was observed in both groups in terms of these variables, which indicates the effectiveness of both interventions (P < 0.001) and the greater effect of the mobilization with movement in reducing pain (P = 0.037) and increasing the range of motion (P = 0.021).ConclusionsBoth techniques significantly improved the range of motion and reduced pain in people with lateral ankle sprain, but Mulligan's technique was significantly more effective among the two, perhaps due to joining active and passive mobilizing tensile forces as well as interaction of afferents and efferents in the reflex arc.

Steep Decrease of Gender Difference in DSM-IV Alcohol Use Disorder: A Comparison of Two Nation-wide Surveys Conducted 10 Years Apart in Korea

While decreasing trend in gender differences in alcohol use disorders was reported in Western countries, the change in Asian countries is unknown. This study aims to explore the shifts in gender difference in alcohol abuse (AA) and dependence (AD) in Korea. We compared the data from two nation-wide community surveys to evaluate gender differences in lifetime AA and AD by Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV). Face-to-face interviews using the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) were applied to all subjects in 2001 (n=6,220) and 2011 (n=6,022). Male-to-female ratio of odds was decreased from 6.41 (95% CI, 4.81-8.54) to 4.37 (95% CI, 3.35-5.71) for AA and from 3.75 (95% CI, 2.96-4.75) to 2.40 (95% CI, 1.80-3.19) for AD. Among those aged 18-29, gender gap even became statistically insignificant for AA (OR, 1.59; 95% CI, 0.97-2.63) and AD (OR, 1.18; 95% CI, 0.80-2.41) in 2011. Men generally showed decreased odds for AD (0.55; 95% CI, 0.45-0.67) and women aged 30-39 showed increased odds for AA (2.13; 95% CI 1.18-3.84) in 2011 compared to 2001. Decreased AD in men and increased AA in women seem to contribute to the decrease of gender gap. Increased risk for AA in young women suggests needs for interventions.

Ca2+ mobilization in physiologically stimulated single T cells gradually increases with peptide concentration (analog signaling)

We have investigated Ca²⁺ mobilization in single T cells stimulated with their physiological ligand, i.e. antigenic peptide bound to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules on antigen-presenting cells (APC). Fibroblasts expressing I-E^d class II molecules were pulsed with a peptide derived from the λ2³¹⁵ immunoglobulin light chain. Onto such antigen-pulsed fibroblasts were sedimented cloned Th1 cells loaded with Fura-2. Changes in cytosolic Ca²⁺ concentration in single T cells were continually monitored by use of an imaging system based on fluorometry. Ca²⁺ mobilization was both peptide-specific and MHC-restricted. Within seconds of the initial APC-T cell contact, a Ca²⁺ spike could be observed. The Ca²⁺ response gradually declined over a 25-min period, during which oscillations were noted. Various parameters characterizing the magnitude of the Ca²⁺ response (latency, increase rate, max and mean Ca²⁺ increase, frequency and period of oscillations) all correlated with the amount of peptide used for pulsing the fibroblasts. Thus, Ca²⁺ mobilization in single T cells appears not to be an all or none phenomenon. Rather, activation is incremental (analog signaling), the degree of Ca²⁺ mobilization probably being related to the number of stimulatory peptide-MHC complexes on the surface of the APC. The extent of calcium mobilization and lymphokine production (interleukin (IL)-2, IL-3, interferon-γ) correlated, at least at the population level.

Prospective Randomized Study Comparing the Efficacy of Bioequivalent Doses of glycosylated and nonglycosylated rG-CSF for Mobilizing Peripheral Blood Progenitor Cells

Thirty patients diagnosed with breast cancer were included in a prospective randomized study comparing the in vivo priming effect of bioequivalent doses of glycosylated (lenograstim) and nonglycosylated (filgrastim) rG-CSF administration. Analysis of the efficacy of equivalent biological doses of both rG-CSFs showed no significant differences either in the mobilization of the subpopulations of PBPC considered (CD34⁺, CD34⁺/38⁻, CD34⁺/DR⁻), the content of such CD34⁺ cell subsets in the leukapheresis product, or the cost of the mobilization and collection procedures between both recombinant molecules. These results suggest that priming with bioequivalent doses of the two commercially available forms of glycosylated or nonglycosylated rG-CSF has a similar in vivo effect on PBPC mobilization.
