1.Study on Neural Co-activation during Human Upper Limb Muscle Fatigue Based on Surface Electromyography
Chinese Journal of Sports Medicine 2017;36(4):290-295
Objectives To observe the co-activation phenomenon during exercise fatigue induced by the proximal muscles on the upper limbs.Methods Sixteen undergraduates not majoring in sports participated in this study,and their left arms were chosen as the observed arms and right arms were selected as the weighted arms.The weighted arm was alternatively in the state of relaxation without any load and fatigue after bending and extending elbow joints to uphold a 5 kg dumbbell.However,the observed arm kept weighing a 4 kg dumbbell with 90 degrees elbow flexion until the muscles were exhausted.The surface electromyography of biceps brachii and triceps brachii of the observed arms was measured using the ME6000.And the integrated surface electromyography (IEMG),root of mean square (RMS),mean power frequency (MPF)and median frequency (MF)were further analyzed.Results The IEMG and RMS of biceps brachii and triceps brachii of the observed arms increased gradually after the exercise began (P<0.05)regardless of in the relaxed state or in the in the state of weighing a 5 kg dumbbell for the weighted arm,but in the state of weighting a 5 kg dumbbell the IEMG and RMS increased more significantly (P<0.01),Meanwhile the electrical activities of the triceps brachii as an antagonistic muscle were intensively inhibited.The changes of MPF and MF of biceps brachii in the observed arms were more significant in the state of exercise fatigue than in the relaxed state (P<0.01),but without such an impact on the triceps brachii.Conclusions The fatigue in one arm can trigger contingent changes in sEMG time domain and frequency domain indexes of its contralateral parallel muscles,suggesting that sEMG changes of upper limb proximal muscles have the co-activation effect.
2.The influence of Intra-abdominal pressure of carbon dioxide on pregnancy outcome and malformation ratio in pregnant rats
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2010;17(15):2073-2074
Objective To study the influence of carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum on the pregnancy outcome and newborn rat malformation in pregnancy rats. Methods SD rats were randomly divided into control group (group A and group B) and the experimental group (group C; group D; group E). There were 10 rats in each group, the general situation,abortion rate, premature delivery rate,newborn rats numbers,weights and lengths and malformation rates were recorded. Results There was no malformation in newborn rats in all groups (P > 0. 05 ). Conclusion It was safe to undergo laparoscope operation in metaphase pregnancy with low CO2 pneumoperitoneum,which has no influence on abortion rate and malformation rate.
3.Glial microenvironment and repair in central nervous system injury
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2010;18(2):151-156
Central nervous system (CNS) injury, including brain injury and spinal cord injury, has higher disability and mortality. Therefore, CNS injury repair has been a research emphasis and focus in the field of neuroscience. The limited neurons intrinsic regenerative capacity in adult mammalians is one of the reasons of regeneration difficulties after CNS injury. However, the more important reason is the formation of inhibitive glial microenvironment at the local lesion sites. This article reviews the roles of all types of cells, such as astrocyte, microglia, taxi oligodendroglia in gtial microenvironment in CNS injury repair.
4.Should recanalization devices only be restricted to clinical trials?
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2010;18(2):157-160
The application of recanalization devices in patients with acute iscbemic stroke has significantly increased the rate of vascular recanalization, however it does not significantly improve the outcome of patients. So, there have been controversies whether continue to restrict recanalization devices to clinical trials or direct transition to clinical practice in the absence of randomized controlled trial evidence.
5.The effect of cryotherapy and compression system in rehabilitation treatment for reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament
Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2013;(5):17-19
Objective To explore the effect of cryotherapy and compression system in rehabilitation treatment for reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament.Methods One hundred and twenty patients who had been treated with reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament were randomly divided into treatment group (60 patients,treated with cryotherapy and compression system) and control group (60 patients,treated with traditional method).All patients was treated for 3 months and followed up for 6 months.The scores of visual analogue scales(VAS),degree of swelling,Lysholm and IKDC scores were observed and compared.Results The scores of VAS in treatment group postoperative 6,24 and 48 h were significantly lower than those in control group (P < 0.01).The degree of swelling in two groups postoperative 6 h,12 h,24 h,48 h,1 week,2 weeks had significant difference(P < 0.05).The degree of swelling in treatment group postoperative 4 weeks,3 months and 6 months was lower than that in control group,but there was no significant difference (P >0.05).The scores of Lysholm and IKDC in treatment group postoperative 4 weeks were (65.2 ± 12.3),(65.3 ± 14.3) scores,in control group were (60.2 ± 12.5),(59.4 ± 13.5) scores,there was significant difference (P <0.05).The scores of Lysholm and IKDC in two groups postoperative 3,6 months hod no significant difference (P > 0.05).Conclusion The cryotherapy and compression system in rehabilitation treatment for reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament can improve the effect of early-term rehabilitation training,but has little impact on the long-term rehabilitation training.
6.Analysis of risk factors for postoperative recurrence of chronic subdural hematoma
Chinese Journal of Trauma 2012;28(5):422-425
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical epidemiologic characteristics of chronic subdural hematoma and risk factors for its recurrence so as to offer scientific basis for treatment and prognostic evaluation. MethodsA retrospective study was done on clinical data of 150 adults with chronic subdural hematoma from the Traumatic Brain Injury Database of Neurosurgery Department of General Hospital of Tianjin Medical University to analyze the clinical characteristics and the postoperative recurrence factors of the chronic subdural hematoma.ResultsHematoma volume of the patients in the recurrence group was more than that in the non-recurrence group.Age > 80 years and brain atrophy were two independent risk factors for postoperative recurrence of the chronic subdural hematoma.The recurrence rate was declined with the decrease of hematoma density on CT.The recurrence rate of the chronic subdural hematoma in the high-density group was significantly higher than that in the low-and iso-density groups. ConclusionsPreoperative hematoma volume,onset age,brain atrophy and hematoma density on CT are significantly correlated with the postoperative recurrence of the chronic subdural hematoma.A detailed clinical and radiological evaluation is of great importance for the treatment and prognostic evaluation of the chronic subdural hematoma.
