Metaanalysis of effectiveness of different exercises on inflammatory response in obese adolescents / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#To systematically evaluate effectiveness of exercises on inflammatory response among obese adolescents.@*Methods@#By searching CNKI, PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCOhost and other databases, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the influence of different exercises on inflammatory indicators in obese adolescents were collected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Cochrane evaluation tools were conducted methodological studies on the included literature quality evaluation, and RevMan 5.3 analysis software was used for statistical analysis.@*Results@#A total of 21 RCTs were included, involving 1 020 subjects. The results of Meta analysis showed that aerobic training (AT) and aerobic plus resistance training (AT+RT) could significantly reduce BMI, serum C reactive protein (CRP) and leptin levels in obese adolescents. In addition, the effects of AT+RT on pro inflammatory CRP ( MD=-0.52, 95%CI=-0.75--0.30, P <0.01), leptin ( MD=-7.20, 95%CI=-10.45--3.94, P <0.01) and anti inflammatory adiponectin ( MD=1.28, 95%CI=1.01-1.55, P <0.01) were stronger than AT. High intensity interval training (HIIT) was associated with BMI reduction ( MD=-1.14, 95%CI=-1.92--0.36, P <0.01) and increased adiponectin in obese adolescents ( MD=1.79, 95%CI=1.09-2.50, P <0.01), and HIIT was superior in improving adiponectin level in obese adolescents than AT and AT+RT.@*Conclusion@#Long term and regular AT, AT+RT and HIIT can reduce inflammation in obese adolescents. HIIT is a notable exercise method for obese adolescents to resist inflammation.

Correlation between myocardial velocity measured using tissue doppler imaging in the left ventricular lead-implanted segment and response to cardiac resynchronization therapy

OBJECTIVES: This study investigated whether tissue Doppler imaging parameters, especially the peak systolic velocity of the left ventricular lead-implanted segment (Ss), affect cardiac resynchronization therapy response. METHODS: In this case-control study, 110 enrolled patients were divided into cases (responder group, n=65) and controls (nonresponder group, n=45) based on whether their left ventricular end-systolic volume was reduced by ≥15% at 6 months after surgery. Preoperative clinical and echocardiographic data were collected. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the factors affecting the response to cardiac resynchronization therapy, and receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted to evaluate their diagnostic values. RESULTS: The proportion of patients with left bundle branch block in the case group was higher than that in the control group. The control group showed a higher left atrial volume index, E/A ratio and E/Em ratio but lower Ss than that of the case group. A multivariate regression analysis showed that left bundle branch block, Ss, and an E/Em ratio>14 were independent risk factors affecting the response to cardiac resynchronization therapy. Ss=4.1 cm/s was the best diagnostic threshold according to the receiver operating characteristic curve. CONCLUSIONS: Ss is an important factor affecting the response to cardiac resynchronization therapy. Patients with heart failure associated with Ss<4.1 cm/s have a higher risk of nonresponse.

Abnormal diastolic function underlies the different beneficial effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy on ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the association between diastolic function and the different beneficial effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with heart failure due to different causes. METHODS: The 104 enrolled patients were divided into an ischemic cardiomyopathy group (n=27) and a non-ischemic cardiomyopathy group (n=77) according to the cause of heart failure. Before implantation, left ventricular diastolic function was evaluated in all patients using echocardiography. After six months of follow-up, the beneficial effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy were evaluated using a combination of clinical symptoms and echocardiography parameters. RESULTS: The ischemic cardiomyopathy group included significantly more patients with restrictive filling than the non-ischemic cardiomyopathy group. The response rate after the implantation procedure was significantly higher in the non-ischemic cardiomyopathy group than in the ischemic cardiomyopathy group. Degrees of improvement in echocardiography parameters were significantly greater in the non-ischemic cardiomyopathy group than in the ischemic cardiomyopathy group. Multivariate regression analysis showed that a restrictive filling pattern was an independent factor that influenced responses to cardiac resynchronization therapy. CONCLUSIONS: This study again confirmed that the etiology of heart failure affects the beneficial effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy and a lower degree of improvement in ventricular systolic function and remodelling was observed in ischemic cardiomyopathy patients than in non-ischemic cardiomyopathy patients. In addition, systolic heart failure patients with severe diastolic dysfunction had poor responses to cardiac resynchronization therapy. Ischemic cardiomyopathy patients exhibited more severe diastolic dysfunction than non-ischemic cardiomyopathy patients, which may be a reason for the reduced beneficial effect of cardiac resynchronization therapy.

Observation of the curative effects of sodium aescinate tablet on traumatic leg swelling / 中国基层医药

ObjectiveTo discuss the curative effects of sodium aescinate tablet on traumatic leg swelling.Methods168 cases were divided into four groups.54 cases of Ⅰ degree leg swelling were randomly divided into two groups,one group were treated with no drug and the other with sodium aescinate tablet.114 cases of Ⅱ and Ⅲ degree leg swelling were randomly divided into two groups,one group were treated with mannitol and the other with mannitol and sodium aescinate tablet.All cases were treated for 7 days and observed on leg swelling.ResultsThe curative effects of group with sodium aescinate tablet were superior to the group with no drug.The curative effects of group with both sodium aescinate tablet and mannitol are superior to group with mannitol.ConclusionSodium aescinate tablet had obviously curative effects on trautic leg swelling.Both sodium aescinate and mannitol could be used to treat leg swelling of Ⅱ and Ⅲ degree.
