ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To systematically assess the effect of blood flow restriction combined with endurance training on aerobic capacity,lower limb muscle strength,and sports performance of athletes using Meta-analysis. METHODS:3210 studies were searched in CNKI,VIP,WanFang,PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,ScienceDirect,and Cochrane databases before March 2023.After screening,12 studies and 14 research reports were included.The traditional Meta-analysis and network Meta-analysis were performed by Review Manager 5.4 and Stata 14. RESULTS:Endurance training with blood flow restriction had a medium effect size on maximal oxygen uptake(standardized mean difference(SMD)=0.59,95%confidence interval(CI):0.28-0.90,P<0.05)and no heterogeneity.The effect of continuous pressure was better than the other pressure types(P<0.05).Compared with sports events by anaerobic energy supply,sports events by aerobic energy supply showed better effects(P<0.05),which was set as follows:4-8 weeks of aerobic training,20-30 minutes once,3 or more sessions per week,for a total of 12 or more sessions.Secondly,endurance training with blood flow restriction showed a large effect on the lower limb muscle strength(SMD=0.99,95%CI:0.61-1.37,P<0.05)and no heterogeneity.A subgroup analysis showed muscle endurance was the best improved(SMD=1.11;95%CI:0.37-1.85),followed by knee extension strength(SMD=1.02,95%CI:0.37-1.67)and knee flexion strength(SMD=0.87,95%CI:0.24-1.51).Finally,endurance training with blood flow restriction showed a medium effect on sports performance(SMD=0.59,95%CI:0.13-1.06,P<0.05),and the subgroup analysis showed a medium effect on running performance(SMD=0.55,95%CI:0.05-1.06,P<0.05)and no heterogeneity.There was only one item of soccer specific performance that was not analyzed. CONCLUSION:Endurance training combined with blood flow restriction can improve the aerobic capacity,lower limb muscle strength,and sports performance of the athletes.And there is a large effect on lower limb muscle strength and a medium effect on aerobic capacity and sports performance.A training schedule of progressive mixed-intensity aerobic endurance training under continuous pressure for no less than 4 weeks,3 sessions per week,20-30 minutes per session,for 12 or more sessions in total is easy to obtain better training results.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To provide a largescale assessment the prevalence of poor vision in 2020 among children and adolescents in Wuhan City, Hubei province and to provide basis for healthy vision promotion.@*Methods@#This crosssectional epidemiological study was conducted among 156 783 students, who lived in Wuhan during the COVID-19 period participated the vision screening through the online applet designed by Wuhan Center for Adolescent Poor Vision Prevetion and Control under the guidance of their guardians between June 19 and July 6, 2020. The demographic information and daily hours spent on various activities in the past week were investigated. The corresponding visual acuity data of students in 2019 before the COVID-19 outbreak was extracted from school vision monitoring records for each semester, which was measured by the experienced eye care professionals.@*Results@#The detection rate of poor vision (51.04%) in 2020 was significantly higher than that in 2019(43.04%)( χ 2=68 944.95, P <0.01). After adjustment for covariates, the odds ratio and 95% confidence interval for poor vision were 1.17(1.13-1.20), 1.07(1.04-1.10), 0.67 (0.65-0.69) and 0.62(0.60-0.64) in students with online class time, recreational screen time, indoor and outdoor activity time in the highest tertile, compared with the lowest tertile groups.@*Conclusion@#Increased rate of poor vision among primary and secondary schoool students deserves further concern. It is necessary to strengthen intervention of eyesight protection. Policies and programs aimed at improving opportunities for physical activities and decreasing multiple screen behaviors should be given priority.
ABSTRACT
Objective To indentify the cognitive status of Chinese patients to acne and the influencing factors to theirs' cognitive status,so as to provide solid evidences for the prevention and treatment of acne.Methods A self-designed questionnaire was made to conduct this survey of 16,156 acne patients,who seeked to the treatment in the dermatological departments from 112 hospitals in China.The survey consisted of several parts,including the general status of patients,the patients' cognition of occurrence,development and risk factors of acne,whether the first choice was seeking treatment at the hospital when the patients had acne and the condition of selection of skin care products.The factors were analyzed,which could impact the cognition of the patients' behavior of treatment,how did the patients' cognition to influence their medical behavior and skin care as well as the consistency of assessment of the severity of acne by doctors and patients themselves.Results The acne patients studied had the best knowledge of "acne is a skin disease","it not only occurs in the period of adolescence" and "the disease can be prevented and cured",which accordingly accounted for 80.65%,69.16% and 65.49% of the total patients respectively.However,the awareness of acne patients to heredity,high sugar and dairy products as risk factors for acne was insufficient,which accounted for 48.72%,42.40% and 18.25% of the total patients,respectively.Gender,age,educational level,occupation and health knowledge were the main factors affecting the cognitive level of patients;the survey also found that men,patient with educational level of junior high or even lower educational condition,occupation of labor workers or farmers and patients were lack of health education with poor knowledge of the genetics and dietary were risk factors for acne;patients with age over 36 years or with mild illness had poor knowledge of dietary risk factors for acne;the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The analysis of the influence of cognitive status on medical treatment behavior and skin care showed that the better the cognition,the higher the probability of patients would choose medical treatment as the first choice as well as choosing functional skin care products;the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The consistency of assessment of the severity of acne by doctors and patients was poor (Kappa value <0.4),and the assessment of severity of acne by patients was more serious than doctors' assessment.Conclusions Patient's cognitive status will affect their medical behavior and skin care,and there is also a phenomenon that patients have a more serious assessment of their acne condition.It is suggested that health education for acne patients should be strengthened in clinical medicine so as to improve their knowledge of acne as well as preventing from acne effectively.
ABSTRACT
Objective To determine the expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in cystic lesions of patients with acne vulgaris,and to evaluate the in vitro effect of Propionibacterium acnes (P.acnes) on the production of IL-6 and activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) in the human acute monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1.Methods Real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR was performed to determine the mRNA expression of IL-6 in cystic lesions of 6 patients with acne vulgaris,as well as in skin tissues of 6 healthy persons.Some cultured THP-1 cells were divided into 5 groups to be treated with 2 × 106 CFU/ml,2 × 107 CFU/ml and 2 × 108 CFU/ml heat-killed P.acnes suspensions (P.acnes groups),100 μμtg/L lipopolysaccharide (LPS group) and RPMI 1640 medium (control group) respectively.After 1-,3-and 6-hour treatment,real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR was conducted to determine the mRNA expression of IL-6 in the above groups.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to detect the level of IL-6 in the culture supernatant of cells in the 2 × 108-CFU/ml P.acnes group,LPS group and control group at 24 hours after the treatment.Western blot analysis was conducted to determine the protein expression of p38MAPK and phosphorylated p38MAPK in the 2 × 108-CFU/ml P.acnes group after 15-,30-and 60-minute treatment,as well as in the LPS group after 30-minute treatment and in the control group.Some other THP-1 cells were divided into 3 groups:2 × 108-CFU/ml P.acnes group treated with 2 × 108 CFU/ml P.acnes suspensions,SB203580 (an inhibitor of p38MAPK) group treated with 20 μmol/L SB203580 for 30 minutes followed by the treatment with 2 × 108 CFU/ml P.acnes suspensions,and control group treated with RPMI 1640 medium alone.After 6-hour treatment,the mRNA expression of IL-6 in the above 3 groups was measured by real-time fluorescencebased quantitative PCR.Results The mRNA expression of IL-6 was significantly higher in the cystic lesions of acne vulgaris than in the normal skin tissues (3.680:±:0.790 vs.1.155 ± 0.250,t =3.047,P <0.05).Two-way analysis of variance showed that there were significant difference in the mRNA expression of IL-6 among the 2 × 106-CFU/ml,2 × 107-CFU/ml and 2 × 108-CFU/ml p.acnes groups,LPS group and control group (F =532.3,P < 0.001,v =4),and the mRNA expression of IL-6 significantly differed among different time points (F =526.6,P < 0.001,v =2).There were also significant differences in the IL-6 level in the culture supernatant of cells among the 2 × 108-CFU/ml p.acnes group ([1 618.22 ± 32.23] ng/L),LPS group ([3 212.06 ± 353.00] ng/L) and control group ([147.10 ± 0.53] ng/L;v =2,F =102.35,P <0.01).After 15-,30-and 60-minute treatment with 2 × 108 CFU/ml P.acnes suspensions,the protein expression of phosphorylated p38MAPK obviously increased.The mRNA expression of IL-6 in THP-1 cells was significantly lower in the SB203580 group than in the 2 × 108-CFU/ml p.acnes group (t =15.91,P =0.004).Conclusions The mRNA expression of IL-6 evidently increases in the cystic lesions of patients with acne vulgaris.P.acnes can activate the signaling molecule p38MAPK in THP-1 cells,and promote the production of IL-6 by THP-1 cells.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effects of group medical visits and peer education on the compliance behaviors of patients with acne vulgaris,and to explore the effective health education approaches for patients with acne vulgaris.Methods A total of 80 patients with acne vulgaris were enrolled from Hospital of Dermatology,Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences during December 2016.They were randomly and equally divided into 2 groups:intervention group receiving conventional health education combined with group medical visits and peer education,and control group receiving conventional health education alone.At week 1,2 and 4 after the intervention,the compliance behaviors were compared between the 2 groups.Results Totally,18 patients were lost to the follow-up due to refusals and non-response,and 32 patients in the intervention group and 30 patients in the control group finally completed the study.At week 1,2 and 4 after the intervention,the scores of compliance behaviors were significantly higher in the intervention group (83.6 ± 9.3,85.9 ± 9.1,91.2 ± 8.4 respectively) than in the control group (77.1 ± 7.3,77.1 ± 8.6,79.1 ± 10.2 respectively;all P < 0.05).Moreover,the scores of compliance behaviors significantly increased over time (P < 0.05),and there was a significant interaction effect between the intervention methods and treatment duration (P < 0.05).Conclusion Health education approaches including group medical visits and peer education can improve the compliance behaviors of patients with acne vulgaris.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of the ropivacaine combined with sufentanil on neuropathic pain in rats.Methods The constriction injury method was performed to establish rat neuropathic pain model and 40 neu-ropathic rats were produced in accordance with the above modeling methods,which were divided into group A(ropiva-caine and sufentanil combined administration,n =10),group B(ropivacaine administration,n =10),group C(sufen-tanil administration,n =10)and group D(no administration,n =10).A total of 10 healthy rats without any treatment, the normal feeding,named as group E.At 1,3,7,11,14,21d after operation von -Frey filaments determination of mechanical hyperalgesia(MWT),and the Hargreaves method for the determination of thermal hyperalgesia(TWL) were measured and the ELISA Kit (IL -6 and TNF -α) were used to detect serum IL -6 and TNF -αconcentrations.Results Before and at 1 day after the operation mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia and allergy treatment had no significant difference(all P >0.05).Mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia of group A,B and C were significantly lower than those before the treatment and at 1 day after operation(all P <0.05),and mechanical hyperalgesia and thermal hyperalgesia of group A was significantly lower than those of group B and C (all P <0.05).The serum IL -6 and TNF -αconcentrations of 7,14 and 21 days in group A were significantly lower than those of group B and C(t =7.10,5.84,9.11,all P <0.05).Conclusion The effects of ropivacaine combined with sufentanil analgesic on neuropathic pain of rats was significantly higher than that of ropivacaine or sufentanil alone in the treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the prevalence of urticaria among children aged 2-6 years in Nanjing city.Methods A questionnaire survey was carried out in children aged 2-6 years in 5 main districts of Nanjing City.Results The number of valid questionnaires was 13 610,accounting for 92.8% of total respondents.Among the 13 610 respondents,1 116 were diagnosed as urticaria,including 565 boys and 551 girls,with the total prevalence rate being 8.54%.No significant difference was observed in the prevalence rate of urticaria between boys and girls (8.49% vs.8.60%,x2 =0.04,P =0.832) or among children of different age groups (x2 =1.84,P =0.17).The prevalence of urticaria increased with age,and positively correlated with parents' educational level (rs =0.96,P =0.000).Children born in urban areas showed higher prevalence of urticaria than those in rural areas (8.79% vs.5.56%,x2 =13.98,P =0.000).Conclusions The prevalence of urticaria has increased among children aged 2-6 years in recent years.More studies should be carried out to investigate into the pathogenesis and relevant factors of urticaria,so as to facilitate its prevention and treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To improve the understanding of cutaneous Mycobacterium haemophilum infection.Methods Clinical and laboratory data were collected from two patients with cutaneous Mycobacterium haemophilum infection.The clinical and histopathologic manifestations, etiology and treatment of cutaneous Mycobacterium haemophilum infection were analyzed.Results The two patients were both immunocompromised.Lesions, which occurred after trauma in both the patients, began as well-marginated subcutaneous nodules, and then gradually progressed into ulceration with crusting and abscess formation.Histopathological examination revealed epithelial cell granuloma or histiocytic infiltrate in the dermis, as well as focal necrosis and neutrophil abscesses.Acid-fast staining showed abundant bacilli in tissues.These bacilli only grew in iron-containing medium, and were finally identified as Mycobacterium haemophilum by PCR and sequencing.According to the result of antimicrobial sensitivity testing, both the patients were treated with rifampicin, clarithromycin and moxifloxacin.Three months later, the condition was improved in both of them.Conclusions Mycobacterium haemophilum infection occurs most frequently in immunocompromised populations after trauma, manifests as subcutaneous nodules and abscesses with histopathological changes consistent with infectious granuloma.Molecular biological approaches are reliable for the identification of Mycobacterium haemophilum.
