ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of liver injury in patients with Non-biliariogenous acute pancreatitis complicated with metabolic syndrome (MS).Methods There were 63 patients complicated with MS (the MS group) and 145 patients without MS (the non-MS group) hospitalized in our hospital were evaluated.The general conditions,body mass index (BMI),C reactive protein (CRP),blood lipid (TG),blood glucose,alanine aminotransferase (ALT),aspartate aminotransferase (AST),total bilirubin (TBIL) and albumin (ALB) were compared between the two groups.Results BMI,CRP,blood lipid and blood sugar in MS group were significantly higher than those in non MS group (P＜0.05).LevelsofALT[(123.4±16.7)U/Lvs(63.8±8.5)U/L,P＜0.05],AST[(84.7±13.1) U/L vs (55.7 ±7.1)U/L,P＜0.05],TBIL [(32.3 ±12.9)U/L vs (21.7 ±10.4)μmol/L,P＜0.05] in the MS group were higher than that in the non-MS group (P ＜ 0.05).The abnormal liver function in MS group was mostly elevated by AST and TBIL,but only elevation of AST in MS group.Conclusions The incidence of liver injury in patients with non biliary acute pancreatitis combined with metabolic syndrome is high and much heavier.In the diagnosis and treatment of such patients,the changes of liver function should be closely monitored and the active treatment should be strengthened.
ABSTRACT
Metabolic syndrome is a group of clinical syndromes characterized by overweight or obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, impaired glucose metabolism, and insulin resistance.It is a group of metabolic associated risk factors.Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is one of the most common diseases nowadays, and its risk factors include obesity, diabetes, and abnormal blood lipid.In recent years, the relationship between LDH and metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been valued by scholars.Although some studies have suggested that MetS is related to LDH, the study of the correlation between MetS and LDH at home and abroad is relatively rare.To explore the possibility of using MetS for the prevention and control of LDH, this paper reviews the research progress of the relationship among MetS, the various components, and LDH.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to examine the effect of vibration exercises generated from an XCO® trainer on supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and deltoid muscle thickness. METHODS: Thirty subjects were evenly divided into two groups. Muscle thickness was measured by a sonogram prior to the study, and at three and six weeks after the intervention. Changes in muscle thickness were analyzed using a repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA). The significance level for the statistical test was set at α=0.05. RESULTS: A statistically significant differences in timing, interactions between timing and the groups, and between-group changes were demonstrated for supraspinatus muscle thickness (p 0.05). CONCLUSION: Significant changes were observed in the thickness of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and deltoid muscles, owing to the use of vibration exercises generated from an XCO® trainer. These findings can be used as a foundation for future studies on rehabilitation training.

Metabolic syndrome (MS) is characterized by high blood glucose,high blood lipid,high blood pressure,and abdominal obesity with insulin resistance as the main characteristics.At present,some epidemiological surveys demonstrate the incidence rates of some malignant neoplasms including prostate cancer,hepatocellular carcinoma,colorectal adenoma,and breast cancer among MS patients were obviously increasing.Patients with MS present a high morbidity of certain tumors.This article summarizes the relationship between MS and malignant neoplasms as well as related mechanisms.
