ABSTRACT
El diagnóstico y el tratamiento de la artritis reumatoide temprana en el curso de la enfermedad proporcionan alivio de los síntomas y también previene el daño estructural a largo plazo y el deterioro funcional, con una mejora concomitante en la calidad de vida. El propósito de este estudio es exponer algunos enfoques de la artritis reumatoide en cuanto al tratamiento y comportamiento de la actividad de la enfermedad. El reconocimiento de los pacientes de que su enfermedad progresa rápidamente es fundamental para identificar candidatos en los cuales la terapia intensiva puede tener el mayor impacto, en términos de prevenir la progresión de la enfermedad. Los datos acumulados muestran que las estrategias de tratamiento intensivo con agentes biológicos, especialmente los inhibidores del factor de necrosis tumoral, son más eficaces que la monoterapia secuencial o la terapia de combinación progresiva. Estos muestran una eficacia sustancial en combinación con el metotrexato, ya que proporcionan beneficios y mejoras rápidas y sustanciales a los pacientes(AU)
The diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis early in the course of the disease provides relief of symptoms and also prevents long-term structural damage and functional deterioration, with a concomitant improvement in quality of life. To expose approaches to rheumatoid arthritis in terms of the treatment and behavior of the activity of said disease. Recognition of patients with rapidly progressing disease is essential to identify candidates in whom intensive therapy can have the greatest impact, in terms of preventing disease progression. The accumulated data shows that intensive treatment strategies with biological agents, especially TNF inhibitors, are more effective than sequential monotherapy or progressive combination therapy. These show substantial efficacy in combination with methotrexate, providing rapid and substantial benefits and improvements in patient outcomes(AU)

Objective To explore the influence of family factors on physical activity behavior of central obesity patient.Methods A questionnaire investigation to 182 central obesity volunteers was carried out in a residential district of shanghai on April 2007.Results The percentage of the patients taking physical activities,at least one of whose family members participate in regular exercise,was 66.7%.It was significantly higher than that (43.6%) of other patients whose family members hardly ever participated in regular exercise any more(χ2=9.260,P=0.002).The percentage of patients taking physical activities,with highly family function,was 60.2%.It was significantly higher than that of the patients in moderately dysfunctional family (49.9%) and in severely dysfunctional family(35.5%)(χ2=6.448,P=0.04).The average APGAR score,Partnership score and Growth score of the patients in taking exercise group were 7.13±2.63,1.49±0.71 and 1.35±0.73. They were significantly higher than that of the patients in taking no exercise group (6.09±3.09,1.24±0.85 and 0.90±0.86) (t=2.095～3.845,P=0.000～0.038). While family size,family economic status and marital status showed no obvious effect on physical activity behavior of central obesity patients(χ2=0.027～1.709,P＞0.05).Conclusion Highly family function and at least one of the other family members taking regular exercise can promote activity of central obesity patient in daily life.
