ObjectiveTo explore the effect of exercise on the postural control and muscular function around the ankle in patients with functional ankle instability (FAI) with meta-analysis. MethodsRandomized controlled trials about therapeutic exercise for FAI published before December, 2021 were searched from PubMed, EBSCO, SPORTdiscus, Medline, Science Direct, Springlink, Web of Science, Embase CNKI, VIP and Wanfang Data. The quality and evidence grades of the researches were evaluated by two researchers, and the outcomes were analyzed with RevMan 5.4. ResultsFourteen randomized controlled trials were finally included, involving 434 subjects. Compared with no exercise intervention, therapeutic exercise might significantly improve the movement of center of pressure whether with eye-open or eye-closed (eye-open, SMD = -0.28, 95%CI -0.46 to -0.09, P = 0.003; eye-closed, SMD = -0.24, 95%CI -0.40 to -0.09, P = 0.001); while therapeutic exercise might also enhance the activation of the peroneus longus before dynamic task (SMD = 0.38, 95%CI 0.05 to 0.71, P = 0.03), and activation of the peroneus longus (SMD = 0.53, 95%CI 0.16 to 0.90, P = 0.005) and tibialis anterior (SMD = 0.47, 95%CI 0.10 to 0.84, P = 0.01) after dynamic task. There was neither significant difference in the activation of the tibialis anterior (SMD = 0.48, 95%CI -0.14 to 1.11, P = 0.13), nor the peak torque ratio of eversion to inversion isokinetic strength (SMD = -0.15, 95%CI -0.46 to 0.16, P = 0.340) before dynamic task between the two groups. ConclusionTherapeutic exercise can decrease movement of center of pressure, enable anticipatory contraction of peroneus longus before dynamic tasks and compensatory contraction of peroneus longus and tibialis anterior after tasks, to make it easier to deal with external interference, maintain articular stability and prevent re-injury.

Objective To explore the effects of dietary approaches to stop hypertension (DASH) on the quality of life and re-hospitalization rate in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods A total of 163 patients with CHF receiving standard medical therapy in the Cardiology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from February to September 2014 were selected and divided into experimental group (n=85) and control group (n=78) randomly. Low salt, low fat diet was applied in the control group, while DASH was adopted in the experimental group. Patients' body mess index (BMI), blood pressure, blood glucose, blood lipid, ejection fraction, cardiac function, the score of Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) and re-hospitalization rate were compared before and after intervention. Results There were no statistical differences in BMI, blood pressure, blood glucose, blood lipid, cardiac function and the score of MLHFQ before intervention (P> 0.05). Patients' BMI, systolic pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride of the experimental group paitents were all lower than those of the control group 12 months after intervention, with statistical significance (P< 0.05). 12 months after intervention, patients' quality of life of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05), and the re-hospitalization rate was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions DASH can improve the quality of life in patients with CHF, reduce readmission rate, thus improving the prognosis of heart failure.

Objective To investigate the characteristic of movement disorders,so as to improve their diagnosis and treatment. Methods The clini?cal data of patients with movement disorders that admitted in the dystonia and Botox outpatient department were analyzed. Results Cases of involun?tary movement were significantly more than the primary dystonia,and case of primary hemifacial spasm was dominant(163 cases,61.05%). Among the 66 cases of primary dystonia,blepharospasm was ranked the first(19 cases),the second was spasmodic torticollis(18 cases),and the third was Meige syndrome(12 cases).There was no statistical significance in the gender distribution among primary hemifacial spasm,blepharospasm,spas?modic torticollis and Meige syndrome. Instead,there was statistical significance in the treatment methods(P<0.05),and there was statistical signifi?cance in the mean treatment and onset age(P<0.05). Of the 163 cases with primary hemifacial spasm,the mean onset age was 44.22±12.22 years, and the ratio of men to women was 1∶2.4. There were statistical significances in the mean onset age and duration among the patients with different severity degrees(all P<0.05). Conclusion Primary hemifacial spasm,blepharospasm,spasmodic torticollis and Meige syndrome are the com?mon disease in outpatient department. The primary hemifacial spasm is dominant,women are more than men,and the onset age and/or duration are proportional to the severity degree.
