Objective To study the effects of isotonic and resistance exercises on renal hormones in plasma. Methods Eight healthy men were instructed to performed isotonic and resistance exercises, respectively, with the same target heart rate and the same exercise duration, in which both exercises-induced changes of plasma renin activity (PRA), aldosterone (ALDO) and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) were observed. Results Plasma levels of PRA, ALDO and ADH increased significantly after both isotonic exercise and resistance exercises. Plasma levels of ADH and PRA were higher after resistance exercise than those after isotonic exercise. Conclusion The increases of PRA, ALDO and ADH in plasma caused by exercise might be an adaptive response to maintain balances of water and electrolyte in the status of physical stresses. The tendency of increase of ADH and PRA after resistance exercise suggested that the exercise intensity rather than type of exercise correlated with on the changes of renal hormones.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of warm needling in treating neck-back myofasical pain syndrome. Method Sixty patients with neck-back myofasical pain syndrome were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by warm needling therapy, while the control group was by electroacupuncture. The short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) and Physion MD muscle resistance detector (Japan) were adopted to measure the count of tender points (red points and yellow points), Pain Rating Index (PRI), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and Present Pain Intensity (PPI) before and after the treatment, and the clinical efficacies were also compared.Result The total effective rate was 83.3% in the treatment group versus 66.7% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The SF-MPQ scores (PRI, VAS, and PPI scores) were significantly changed in the treatment group after the intervention (P<0.05). In the control group, VAS and PPI scores were significantly changed after the treatment (P<0.05). After treatment, there were significant differences in comparing the SF-MPQ scores between the two groups (P<0.05). The counts of red and yellow tender points were significantly changed in the treatment group after the intervention (P<0.05). The count of red tender points was significantly changed in the control group after the intervention (P<0.05). After the treatment, there were significant differences in comparing the number of red and yellow tender points between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Warm needling is an effective approach in treating neck-back myofascial pain syndrome.

Objective To explore the generalization effect of a semantic navigation strategy(SNS)on naming in patients with aphasia.Methods Fourteen patients with aphasia were randomly divided into an SNS group (n =7)and an unrelated semantic(US)group(n =7).One hundred and twenty-two words chosen from Chinese word association norms were used in this study.The presentation sequence of words was generated automatically with network analysis techniques for the SNS group and randomly without network analysis techniques for the US group.After baseline tests using the western aphasia battery(WAB)and the mini-mental status examination(MMSE),all patients received language training once a day for 10 consecutive days.The amount of correct responses was recorded every day in order to draw the learning curve.The generalization effect was evaluated with 46 untrained items before and after training with all patients.Results The average learning curve of the SNS group was steeper than that of the US group.Correct responses on trained items were significantly more frequent in the SNS group than in the US group after the 6th day of training.After 10 days the frequency of correct responses on untrained items in the SNS group was significantly higher than it had been before training,and higher than the frequency after training in the US group.The frequency of no response on untrained items in the SNS group had declined,and it had declined more than in the US group.Conclusion A semantic navigation strategy may promote significant generalization while improving the learning curve in naming among patients with aphasia.

Objective To explore the relative factors affecting the functional restoration of knee joint after the fracture of patella, and to anticipate the effect of middle term and short time rehabilitation therapy. Method 23 patients with limited flexion function of knee joint after the fracture of patella, accepted the routine rehabilitation treatment in out patient service, and some of the patients adopted local heat therapy at the same time. The 13 factors have been selected for regression analysis step by step under the help of SPSS statistical software. Result The flexible degree of the knee joint before rehabilitation (X1), the non smooth posterior edge of patella (X2), and the immobilization time of the joint (X3) are relative factors for the flexible degree of knee joint 1 month after ehabilitation (Y1) and the flexible degree of knee joint 3 onths after rehabilitation (Y2), and Y1 can also be affected by whether surgery therapy or not (X4), (partial regression coefficient P< 0.05). The differences between theoretical mean and practical mean of Y1 and Y2 are 5.6% and 4.2% respectively in the 23 cases. Conclusion The flexible degree of the knee joint before rehabilitation, whether the posterior edge of patella is smooth or not, and the immobilization time of the joint are relative factors affecting the middle term and short term flexible function of knee joint after the fracture of patella, and short term restoration can also be affected by whether surgery therapy or not. The effects of middle term and short term rehabilitation can be predicted by regression equation primarily.
