ABSTRACT
Objective To verify the influence of body composition content and different distribution on bone age development,and establish a healthy lifestyle that benefits bone age development. Methods The prospective cohort study was conducted in the children aged 3 to 10 years at the outpatient and the body component analysis and bone age evaluation were tested during January 1st ,2014 to August 31th ,2015 at the Department of Child Health Care,Wuhan Children′s Hospital(Wuhan Maternal and Child Healthcare Hospital),Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science & Technology,and they were followed up for 1 year. During the follow - up of body weight,height,body compo-sition and bone age,the effect of different body composition distribution and the increase rate on bone age development was investigated. Results Total 341 children were selected,of whom 166 cases were male,175 cases were female,and their mean age were 3. 3 - 10. 8 years. The annual growth rate of bone age ranged from 0. 62 to 1. 37 years in different age groups. Adipose tissue was the fastest growing composition(2. 60 kg/ year),followed by lean body tissue(2. 47 kg/ year),while the slowest growing composition was bone mineral(0. 14 kg/ year). The prospective factors for fast bone age growth were the content of lean body tissue(β = 14. 13),skeletal muscle(β = 12. 79),bone minerals(β = 6. 26), salts(β = 5. 91)and lean body tissue of four limbs(1. 74≤β≤20. 79),longer circumferences of chest(β = 2. 02),ab-domen(β = 1. 37),and left arms(β = 1. 36),more fat thickness of abdomen(β = 13. 10),right and left arms(β = 9. 47, 6. 07)(all P < 0. 01). On the other hand,the obstructive factors of fast bone age growth were higher content of total body water(β = - 5. 99),extracellular fluid(β = - 1. 60),trunk lean body tissue(β = - 7. 67),and longer circum-ferences of right and left thighs(β = - 1. 81,- 1. 77),and high fat thickness of left thighs(β = - 7. 99)(all P <0. 05). Conclusions A healthier lifestyle can defer bone development effectively,such as long - term aerobic exercise,less weight - bearing movement of the limbs (especially in upper limbs),and more water intake,which may result in a taller ultimate height.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveBy using the human body component analyzer, to compare the effects between conventional acupuncture and topical aligned needling on topical weight loss in simple obesity patients.MethodSixty patients with simple obesity were randomized into a treatment group (topical aligned needling plus conventional point selection) and a control group (conventional point selection), 30 cases in each group. The Body Mass Index (BMI), body fat ratio (FAT), visceral fat area, local fat quality (upper limbs, body trunk, and lower limbs), water quality, protein quality, and inorganic salt quality were observed before treatment and after 3 treatment courses.ResultThe BMI, FAT, visceral fat area, and local fat quality were significantly changed after treatment in both groups (P0.05). According to the independent samples t-test, the decreases of BMI, FAT, visceral fat area, and local fat quality in the treatment group were more significant than that in the control group (P<0.01).ConclusionThe treatment group can produce a more significant effect than the control group in reducing the BMI, FAT, visceral fat area, and local fat quality; while thetwo groups are equal to each other in improving water quality, protein quality, and inorganic salt quality.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the intestinal permeability,body component analysis and their relationship in pancreatic cancer patient.Methods: A prospective,randomized and controlled trial was taken.15 patients with pancreatic cancer were chosen as experimental group and 15 healthy volunteers as control group.Urine lactulose/mannito ratio(L/M),concentration of TNF-? in serum and body component were measured.The correlations between intestinal permeability,serum TNF-? level and body component analysis were accounted for in experimental group.Results: ①The urine L/M ratio and concentration of TNF-? were significantly increased in experimental group compared with control group(P
