RÉSUMÉ
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of the sling massage exercise on postpartum pelvic girdle pain (PPGP). MethodsFrom March, 2022 to May, 2023, 56 patients with PPGP in Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were randomly divided into control group (n = 28) and observation group (n = 28). Both groups received routine physical therapy and healthy education, while the control group received exercise therapy and the observation group received sling massage exercise, for six weeks. They were assessed with Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire (PGQ) and active straight leg raise (ASLR) test before and after treatment, and measured resting and contraction thickness of transversus abdominis with ultrasound; and integrated electromyography (iEMG), root mean square (RMS), median frequency (MF) and mean power frequency (MPF) of pelvic floor muscles with surface electromyography. ResultsAfter treatment, the total effective rate was 96.43% in the observation group and 78.57% in the control group (Z = 2.728, P < 0.05). All the indexes improved in both groups (|t| > 2.080, P < 0.05) except resting thickness of transverse abdominis muscle, and improved more in the observation group than in the control group (|t| > 2.161, P < 0.05). ConclusionThe sling massage exercise can alleviate pain, enhance the stability of the core muscle group, and improve load transfer and quality of life, better than exercise therapy.
RÉSUMÉ
Objective To evaluate efficacy of healthy canteen based-nutritional health promotion so as to provide evidence for popularization and application.Methods A total of 429 college professors and administrative staffs with a healthy canteen were selected as the intervention group in 2012 in Changzhou,and another 947 counterparts without a healthy canteen were selected as the control group.Those of the intervention group was further assigned to the ≥2 times/week and＜2 times/week subgroups.Blood pressure,fatty liver,serum triglycerides,blood glucose,total cholesterol,uric acid,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and body mass index(BMI)were tested before and after the intervention.Results After the intervention,the mean serum glucose[(5.06±0.62)mmol/L],uric acid[(310.57 ± 71.79)μmol/L],total cholesterol[(4.88 ± 0.86)mmol/L],triglycerides[(1.39 ± 0.67)mmol/L]and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol[(2.51 ±0.62)mmol/L]of the intervention group were significantly decreased(t values were 7.513,2.126,2.062,3.731 and 8.891,respectively; all P＜0.05),and mean high-density lipoprotein cholesterol[(1.43±0.34)mmol/L]were significantly increased(t=-2.309,P＜0.05).After the intervention,mean serum glucose and uric acid of the control group were significantly increased(t values were-3.491 and-7.703,respectively; both P＜0.05),although there was no statistically significant difference of mean serum triglycerides,total cholesterol,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the control group before and after the intervention(all P＞0.05).The abnormality rates of serum glucose,uric acid,total cholesterol,triglycerides,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and BMI as well as the incidence of hypertension of the intervention group were significantly decreased after the intervention(x2 values were 4.202,3.940,4.031,7.305,59.422,4.273 and 7.385,respectively; P＜0.05).In the control group,although the abnormality rate of serum uric acid and the incidence of fatty liver were significantly inclined after the intervention(x2 values were 23.740 and 7.408,respectively; both P＜0.05),there were no significant difference of abnormal serum triglycerides,glucose,total cholesterol,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and BMI as well as the incidence of hypertension before and after the intervention(all P＞0.05).Mean serum triglycerides[(1.15 ±0.68)mmol/L]and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol[(2.4 1±0.60)mmol/L]in the ≥2 times/ week subgroup were significantly lower than those of the＜2 times/week subgroup(t values were-4.884 and-2.513,respectively; both P＜0.05),and mean high-density lipoprotein cholesterol[(1.46±0.33)mmo]/L]of the ≥2 times/week subgroup was significantly higher than that of the＜2 times/week subgroup(t=2.032,P＜0.05).The abnormality rates of serum total cholesterol,triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the ≥ 2 times/week subgroup were significantly lower than those in the＜2 times/week subgroup(x2 values were 3.963,9.947 and 4.589,respectively; all P＜0.05).Conclusion Healthy canteen based-nutritional health promotion model may provide an effective method to prevent and control the development of noncommunicable chronic diseases.
