Objective To explore the interaction of foot placement, trunk control and weight-bearing (WB) during sit-to-stand (STS) movement. Methods 32 hemiplegic stroke patients (experimental group) and 32 healthy people (control group) were recruited and completed STS movement with 3 different foot positions: ankle dorsiflexed 10° of both feet (BF), with the paretic foot posterior (PFP) or the undominant foot posterior (UDFP), with the non-paretic foot posterior (NPFP) or the dominant foot posterior (DFP). Balance function assessment system (model AL-080) was used for collecting the WB, WB asymmetry (WBasym), and the center of pressure of the buttocks in medial-lateral (CoPx) and anterior-posterior (CoPy) sway during STS movement. Results The control group had the mostly WB symmetry, and little trunk side movement in BF, and there was significant difference in all indicators compared with in DFP or UDFP. For the experiment group, the WB, WBasym and CoPx were different as BF from as NPFP (P<0.05); while all the indicators except CoPx were different from PFP. When PFP, the trunk moved to the non-paretic side, and then to paretic side, all the indicators were different from NPFP. When BF and NPFP of the experiment group compared with BF and DFP of the control group, all the indicators were different (P<0.05). CoPx and CoPy increased in the experiment group compared with the control group. CoPx negatively correlate with WBasym in the experiment group (r=-0.626, P<0.001) and in the control group (r=-0.776, P<0.001). Conclusion The trunk side movement affects weight-bearing symmetry, and foot placement can modify weight-bearing distribution during the STS movement in hemiplegic stroke patients.

OBJECTIVETo study on visible display of Meridian on the dummy human body.

METHODSTube model-building method and computer technique were used, and data came from Voxel-Man dummy human body development platform.

RESULTSThe visual effect of re-building Meridian is very good and it can display the different layers of anatomic structures on the Meridian lines.

CONCLUSIONThe visible display of Meridian on the dummy human body is preliminary realized, which provides data carriers for establishing the platform of Meridian study.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of low- and intermediate-dose factor VIII (FVIII) for prophylactic treatment of severe hemophilia A in children by comprehensively evaluating the outcomes of the joints.

METHODSForty-seven children with severe hemophilia A (FVIII activity ≤2%) were enrolled in this study. Eighteen of the children received prophylactic treatment with low-dose FVIII (10 U/kg, 2-3 times a week), 20 received prophylactic treatment with intermediate-dose FVIII (15-30 U/kg, 3 times a week), and 9 received on-demand treatment with FVIII infusion when bleeding occurred according to the Chinese Expert Consensus on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Hemophilia. The children were followed up for 180 days to observe the changes in the indexes of clinical bleeding phenotype, joint structure, joint function, and joint mobility, and the correlation of these indexes were analyzed.

RESULTSCompared with on-demand treatment, prophylactic treatment with low- and intermediate-dose FVIII significantly improved the clinical hemorrhage phenotype (P<0.01), and the improvement was significantly more conspicuous with intermediate-dose prophylactic treatment (P<0.05). Comprehensive evaluation of the joint structure and function changes showed that compared with on-demand treatment, prophylactic treatment with low- and intermediate-dose FVIII resulted in significant improvements in the total score of Hemophilia Joint Health Score (HJHS), Functional Independence Score in Hemophilia (FISH), the single most severe target joint ultrasound and HJHS score of the target joint (P<0.05) and prophylactic treatment with intermediate-dose FVIII appeared to produce better outcomes of the joint than low-dose FVIII. No correlation was found between annual target joint bleeding rate (ATJBR) and ultrasound score, between ATJBR and HJHS change, or between annual joint bleeding rate (AJBR) and the total score of FISH (P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONCompared with on-demand treatment, prophylactic treatment with low- and intermediate-dose FVIII can significantly improve the bleeding phenotype and delay the progression of joint injury, but the clinical hemorrhagic phenotype is not sufficient to monitor the disease progression.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the characteristics of breakthrough bleeding in adult patients with severe hemophilia A (SHA) receiving low- and intermediate-dose FVIII for tertiary prophylaxis and explore the factors affecting the outcomes of the treatment.

METHODSForty-nine patients (mean age 31.53∓7.33 years) with SHA receiving tertiary prophylaxis FVIII treatment were divided into low-dose group (n=15) and intermediate-dose group (n=34). The data including clinical bleeding phenotype (Pre?AJBR), 72 h FVIII trough activity, and Functional Independence Score in Hemophilia (FISH) were recorded in all the patients, and Hemophilia Steward APP was used to record the bleeding episode and the treatment data. All the patients were followed up for at least 6 months.

RESULTSIn the low-dose and intermediate-dose groups, the number of joint bleeding (AJBR) episodes were 18.79∓13.03 and 9.28∓7.02 per year (P=0.016), and the proportions of spontaneous bleeding were 75.0% and 47.7%, respectively. The proportions of patients with target joint were 80% and 44%, target joint bleeding occurred in 59% and 41%, and cataract bleeding after 0-12 h of prophylactic injection occurred in 4.86% and 5.18% of the patients with a median breakthrough bleeding time of 40.08 h and 46.08 h (P=0.008), respectively. The proportions of patients with 72 h FVIII trough activity <1% were 44.4% and 34.8% in the two groups, respectively. AJBR was negatively correlated with the preventive dose consumed (r=-0.57, P=0.000, n=49) and FISH, but positively correlated with Pre-AJBR in the two groups (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONTertiary prophylaxis with low- and intermediate-dose FVIII is not sufficient to achieve the goal of preventing progression of joint disease in Chinese adult patients with SHA. Although the prophylactic dose is the most important factor to affect the treatment efficacy, other non-factor approaches may also help to improve the efficacy of the treatment.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of overweight， obesity and fatty liver disease （FLD） in adult residents in a suburban area of Shanghai， and to explore the relationship between these conditions and eating out of home （EOH）. MethodsAdult residents from Zhongshan Street， Songjiang， Shanghai， were invited to report their frequency of EOH and undergo a physical examination using B-ultrasonography from May to September 2017. Binary logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the relationship between EOH and conditions of overweight， obesity， and FLD. ResultsAmong the final sample size of 6 608 participants， the prevalence rates of overweight， obesity， and FLD were 41.65%， 14.71% and 38.29%， respectively. After adjusting for potential confounders， logistic analyses revealed that participants with an EOH frequency > once/week had a 1.44-fold higher prevalence of obesity （P=0.006）， a 1.35-fold higher prevalence of overweight/obesity （P=0.005）， and a 1.36-fold higher prevalence of FLD （P=0.008）. ConclusionThe prevalence of overweight， obesity， and FLD is relatively high in Songjiang， Shanghai. EOH may be a risk factor for these diseases， and residents are recommended to reduce the frequency of EOH.
