ABSTRACT
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a metabolic disease characterized by chronic liver damage. Epidemiological surveys have shown that the incidence rate of NAFLD is increasing constantly and NAFLD has become a serious threat to human life and health. Studies have shown that autophagy dysregulation is an important pathophysiological mechanism of NAFLD, and exercise, as an important non-pharmacological treatment, can prevent and treat NAFLD by inducing autophagy, but its exact mechanism is still unclear. This article summarizes the theoretical studies and application results related to the association between autophagy and NAFLD, the effect of exercise-induced autophagy on NAFLD, and its potential molecular mechanism, in order to provide a theoretical reference for the prevention and treatment of NAFLD.
ABSTRACT
Sarcopenia is an important manifestation of malnutrition in patients with liver cirrhosis and is one of the common complications of liver cirrhosis, and about 30%-70% of the patients with liver cirrhosis suffer from sarcopenia, which seriously affects the survival and prognosis of patients. Studies have shown that exercise therapy has many advantages in the treatment of such diseases, such as few side effects, high benefits, and simple operability. To summarize the theoretical studies and application results of exercise in liver cirrhosis with sarcopenia and find evidence for the effect of exercise on liver cirrhosis with sarcopenia and related mechanisms, in order to provide a scientific reference for the treatment of liver cirrhosis with sarcopenia.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To explore the role and value of applied muscle tension (AMT) in preventing vasovagal nerve reaction (VVR) in blood donors. 【Methods】 A total of 2 992 people, susceptible to suffer VVR from May 2020 to may 2022, were randomly divided into control group (1406 cases) and observation group (1 586 cases). The control group was not given AMT intervention, while the observation group received AMT intervention at different periods during blood donation. The changes of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate and psychological state of anxiety (self-rating anxiety scale, SAS) of blood donors were monitored in the two groups at each period to compare the occurrence of VVR. 【Results】 There were no statistically significant differences in blood pressure and heart rate between the two groups before blood donation (P>0.05). The parameters were relatively stable in observation group during and after donation, but significantly different from that of the controls(P>0.05). SAS score was similar in two groups before blood donation(P>0.05), while decreased in observation group during and after donation in comparison with the controls(P<0.05). The incidence of VVR in the observation group was 3.09%, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (7.97%)(P<0.05). The incidence of VVR was 2.18% after AMT exercise during blood donation. 【Conclusion】 AMT intervention in different periods of blood donation can significantly reduce the occurrence of VVR.
