RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Cryotherapy plays a positive role in the treatment of delayed-onset muscle soreness caused by high intense exercise. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of different crypotherapy programs on the levels of interleukin-6 and prostaglandin 2 in long distance race-walkers after 15-day training, and to determine a rational treatment program for delayed-onset muscle soreness. METHODS:Sixteen male race-walkers in Liaoning Province were randomly divided into cryotherapy and cryo/heat therapy groups, and received 10-minute cryotherapy and 2.5-minute cryo/heat therapy (2.5-mintue cryotherapy and 2.5-minute heat therapy alternately for 10 minutes), respectively, after 15-day training. The serum levels of interleukin-6 and prostaglandin 2 were detected at six different time points to compare the efficacy between two methods. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the cryo/heat therapy group, the serum levels of interleukin-6 and prostaglandin 2 in the cryotherapy group were significantly decreased. That is to say, cryotherapy is more available for alleviating delayed-onset muscle soreness after intensive eccentric training or in intensive seasons.
RESUMO
Objective To study the effect of Tongxiening Keli in combination with Birid Triple Viable (BIFICO) in treatment of post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome(PI-IBS) .Methods 112 cases of diarrhea-predominant PI-IBS were divided into combina-tion treatment group(n=60) and control group(n=52) .Combination treatment group received both Tongxiening Keli and BIFICO treatment ,while the control group received BIFICO treatment only .After 6-week treatment ,the therapeutic effect were compared between the two groups .Results The intestinal symptoms grading of combination treatment group was significantly lower than that of control group(P<0 .05);The total effective rate of combination treatment group was 91 .7% ,the total effective rate of con-trol group was 65 .4% ,curative effect in combination treatment group was superior to the control group (P<0 .01) .Conclusion Tongxiening Keli combined with BIFICO is evident effective in treatment of diarrhea-predominant PI-IBS .
