ABSTRACT
Objective:To discuss the clinical efficacy of Shenghua Decoction combined with conventional western medicine therapy in treatment of polycystic ovarian syndrome with blood-insufficiency congealing-cold and blood-stasis syndrome. Methods:A total of 140 polycystic ovarian syndrome patients with blood-insufficiency congealing-cold and blood-stasis syndrome were selected from January 2018 to December 2019 in our hospitals, and were divided into observation group and control group according to the random indicator method, 70 cases in each group. The control group received ethinylestradiol and cyproterone acetate tablets treatment, and Shenghua Decoction was added based on the control group’s treatment in the observation group. Changes in the TCM syndrome score, modified Ferriman-Gallway (mF-G) of hirsutism, Rosenfield of acne, Testosterone (T), Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH) levels detected by ELISA of two groups were observed. The adverse events were recorded and the clinical efficacy was evaluated. Results:The effective rate of the observation group was 88.6% (62/70), which was significantly higher than control group of 60.0% (42/70) ( χ2=14.957, P<0.001). After treatment, mF-G, Rosenfield and TCM Syndrome Scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t=6.524, 3.111, 2.196, P<0.01 or P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of FSH [(5.16 ± 1.76) IU/L vs. (7.19 ± 1.06) IU/L, t=2.530], LH [(6.12 ± 1.88) IU/L vs. (8.03 ± 1.78) IU/L, t=2.403], T [(1.34 ± 0.32) μg/L vs. (1.80 ± 0.36) μg/L, t=7.080] in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05 or P<0.01) Conclusion:The Shenghua Decoction showed beneficial effect for the patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome with blood-insufficiency congealing-cold and blood-stasis syndrome.
ABSTRACT
Objective The prevalence of obesity is constantly increasing. Multiple metabolic complications are related to obesity, including type 2 diabetes mellitus and non-alcholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD). Our study aimed to investigate the prevalence of obesity comorbidities and its association with BMI. Methods 765 individuals who visited the multidisciplinary clinic for obesity in Peking University First Hospital from 2015, Jun. to 2018, Sept. were enrolled in this study. The height, body weight, waist circumference, hip circumference were measured during the first visit. Body adipose percentage and basal metabolic rate were recorded. Questionnaires for daily food intake, comorbidity, and lifestyle were recorded. Fasting insulin, C peptide, glucose, HbA1C , uric acid, liver enzymes and lipid profile were measured. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 16. 0, and P<0. 05 was considered as statistical significant. Results Daily energy intake was higher in obesity group [ obese vs non-obese, (2136.6±739.4vs1905.7±468.4)kcal/d,P=0.046].Hypertension,NAFLDandgoutriskincreasedsignificantly in obesity group (obese vs non-obese, 36.0％vs 24.5％, P=0.02;76.5％ vs 60.6％, P<0.01;6.9％ vs 1.8％, P=0.04, respectively) . Family history of obesity and diabetes increased in obesity group ( obese vs non-obese, 64.5％vs 53.6％, P=0.03;47.4％vs 37.3％, P=0.048). Fasting insulin and C-peptide levels were higher in obesity group [obese vs non-obese, (24.8 ± 15.3 vs 13.6 ± 9.5)μIU/ml, P<0.01;(3.72 ± 1.40 vs 2.70 ± 1.16)μIU/ml, P<0.01). Liver enzymes increased significantly in obesity group [obese vs non-obese, (47.2±45.4 vs 23.3±21.4)U/L, P<0.01; ( 30. 4 ± 24. 0 vs 19. 9 ± 8. 5 ) U/L, P=0. 001 ] . Conclusions Obesity population had higher risk of hypertension, NAFLD and gout. Fasting insulin, C-peptide, liver enzymes, and UA also increased significantly in these patients. It is critically important to those obese individuals for regular screening of NAFLD and diabetes mellitus.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To compare the balance ability between normal people and non-specific low back pain (nsLBP) patients and explore the relationship between balance ability and muscle function in nsLBP patients. Method: Ten nsLBP patients as nsLBP group and 10 age and gender-matched healthy control subjects as control group were investigated. Posturography on balance platform and surface electromyography (sEMG) were performed to assess all the subjects' function of equilibrium and muscle activities of erector spinea(ES), muhifidus(MF), abdominal external oblique (EO), hamstring (HS) and maximal gluteus (MG) bilaterally. Result: The nsLBP subjects had greater sway on anterior-posterior direction (Y-speed and Y-extension, P=0.05) on feet-together posture and bigger main axis (P=0.023) on nature standing with eyes closed when compared with controls. The iEMG ratios of right MG in nature standing (eyes closed)/ nature standing (eyes open) and feet-together (eyes open)/nature standing (eyes open) in control group were significant higher than that in nsLBP group (P=0.03 and P=0.013). Conclusion: Balance evaluation combined with sEMG measurement on trank and lower limb muscles provided some quantitative information about functional deficits such as pestural control and muscle activities in nsLBP patients. This relationship should be emphasized in prevention and rehabilitation of nsLBP.
ABSTRACT
@# Objective To analyze the features of surface electromyography (sEMG) signal of the tibial anterior muscle and gastrocnemius muscle in the stroke patients when sitting and standing.Methods Fifteen stroke patients and fifteen normal subjects were involved in this study. All subjects were asked to stand up and sit down. It repeated five times continuously. The electromyographic signals were collected by surface electrode and then processed by linear time and frequency domain method.Results In sitting position, tibial anterior muscle had significant differences in mean power frequency and median frequency ( P<0.05) when the paretic and non-paretic lower limb, the non-paretic lower limb in stroke patients and in normal subjects were compared. The gastrocnemius muscle had notable differences ( P<0.05) in root mean square when the non-paretic lower limb in stroke patients and in normal subjects were compared. In standing position, tibial anterior muscle also had significant differences in root mean square and integrated electromyography ( P<0.05) as the same frequency domain comparing as above. The gastrocnemius muscle had notable differences on time domain, when the paretic and non-paretic lower limb, the paretic lower limb in stroke patients and the limb in normal subjects were compared ( P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion sEMG is a brief, applied, feasible assessment method in rehabilitation.
