《Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice》    2018, 24 (8): 987-992.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-9771.2018.08.021
Abstract783)      PDF(pc) (1118KB)(939)       Save
This paper assembled immunotherapy methods for neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) in recent years, including the treatment of acute stage, the prevention of relapse and the potential immunotherapy. The treatment of acute stage is mainly to inhibit inflammatory response and reduce aquaporin 4 (AQP4) antibody(Ab) titer, and this is done mainly by using high-dose hormone shock therapy and plasmapheresis. Remission treatment is to inhibit the proliferation of T cells and B cells and also remove B cells from the body, for the purpose of reducing the number of relapses. Azathioprine, rituximab and mycophenolate mofetil are mainly given during remission stage. The treatment of NMOSD will become more targeted/specific in the future. The mechanism of action of the new drug is mainly through blocking the binding of pathogenic AQP4-Ab and its antigen (Ag), reducing the generation of pathogenic AQP4-Ab, and blocking the downstream reaction after pathogenic Ab-Ag binding. The new drugs mainly include aquaporumab, tocilizumab, DNA vaccine, anti-CD19 monoclonal Ab (MEDI-551), eculizumab and bevacizumab.

Intestinal flora plays an important role in the process of human health and disease conversion. It not only participates in a number of physiological processes in the host, but also affects the central nervous system (CNS) -related diseases, which may involve in neurotransmitter, immune, endocrine, metabolites, etc. Intestinal dysbacteriosis plays a role in the development of CNS diseases, such as ischemic brain injury, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, hepatic encephalopathy, and mental disorders, etc. Fecal microbes transplantation, exercise training, acupuncture and Tuina therapy can improve the intestinal flora balance, which may be potential for the treatment and prevention of some nervous system diseases.

Objective To evaluate the effects of aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, and aerobic combined resistance exercise (combined exercise) on blood lipids for patients with type 2 diabetes with network meta-analysis, to develop exercise prescription. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about the above exercises for blood lipid in patients with type 2 diabetes were searched in databases of PubMed, Ovid, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Springer Link, Science Direct, CNKI, Wanfang data and CBM, and were supplied by retrospective references. After evaluating the methodological quality of the RCTs, the data were analyzed with R-Studio, Stata 14.0 and Review Manager 5.3. Results A total of 21 RCTs were recalled, with 1735 patients. Two poor quality literatures were excluded based on sensitivity analysis. Compared with the control group, all three kinds of exercise significantly reduced the level of fasting glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein, increased the level of high density lipoprotein, with good homogeneity. Rank probability graph showed that the combined exercise was the best for fasting glucose, total cholesterol triglyceride and high density lipoprotein, while aerobic exercise was the best for low density lipoprotein. Conclusion It is the best to select the combined exercise to improve fasting glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides and high density lipoprotein, and aerobic exercise for low density lipoprotein.

Objective To explore the effect of virtual reality treadmill training on balance and gait in stroke patients.

Methods From March, 2022, to March, 2023, 40 stroke patients in Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University were randomly divided into control group (n = 20) and experimental group (n = 20). Both groups received routine rehabilitation training. The control group received ordinary treadmill walking training, and the experimental group received treadmill walking training with virtual reality, for two weeks. They were assessed with Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT), and the envelope ellipse area, center of pressure (COP) average speed of movement, step length, stride length and stride width were compared between two groups before and after treatment.

Results After treatment, the scores of BBS and time of TUGT improved in both groups (|t| > 3.508, P < 0.01), and they were better in the experimental group than in the control group (|t| > 3.019,P < 0.01); there was no significant difference in the envelope ellipse area, COP average speed, and stride width between two groups (P > 0.05); however, the step length and stride width improved in the experimental group (|t| > 4.008, P < 0.01).

Objective To observe the effects of ginsenoside Rb1 pretreatment on spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats, and to explore the possible mitochondrial mechanism of ginsenoside Rb1 against ischemia-reperfusion injury. Methods The spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury model was established. The rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (n=12), ischemia-reperfusion group (n=12) and drug group (n=12). The drug group received ginsenoside Rb1 peritoneal injection with 10 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg, 40 mg/kg and 80 mg/kg, respectively, 30 minutes before modeling and once a day after modeling. After 48 hours of reperfusion, the BBB score was tested, the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malonaldehyde (MDA) in the serum and spinal cord tissue, and the cytochrome C oxidase (COX) activity in spinal cord tissue were detected.Results Compared with the ischemia-reperfusion group, the BBB score increased (P<0.05), the SOD level increased, and the MDA level decreased both in serum and spinal cord tissue, the activity of COX increased in the spinal cord tissue (P<0.05). All the indexes were dose-dependent, however, no difference was found between 40 mg/kg and 80 mg/kg.Conclusion Ginsenoside Rb1 can inhibit oxidative stress induced by spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats by inhibiting mitochondrial damage. The protective effect of ginsenoside Rb1 on the spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury is dose-dependent during 10 to 40 mg/kg dose.

Objective

To summarize the methods and results of human motion intention recognition based on the surface electromyography.

Methods

Literatures were retrieved and reviewed from the databases of PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang and VIP until December, 2020. The experimental researches about human motion intention recognition based on surface electromyography were summarized.

Results

The methods of motion intention recognition were divided into three models: musculoskeletal model, traditional machine learning model and deep learning model.

Conclusion

It is difficult to fully estimate human motion intention using surface electromyography in a single way. More researches are needed to develop more accurate and real-time human motion intention recognition methods.

Aging is associated with declines of the muscular strength and cardiorespiratory functions, resulting in an impaired capacity to perform daily activities. Frailty is a clinical geriatric syndrome characterized by decreases in the biological functional reserve and resistance to stressors, which puts older individuals at special risk of disability. To counteract the muscular strength and cardiorespiratory functions declines associated with aging, as well as to prevent and treat the frailty syndrome, the strength and endurance training seems to be an effective strategy to improve muscular strength and endurance performance. This article reviewed the exercise prescription in health and frail elderly subjects according to the current situation of the researches about muscular strength and cardiorespiratory function training. Based on the results found, for the healthy older adults, strength training should be performed at moderate- to high-intensity (60%-80% of 1 RM ), and moderate volume (2-3 sets per exercise, 2-3 times/week ). Also, endurance training should be performed at moderate- to high-intensity (60%-85% of VO2max), and moderat volume (25-40 min). The frail older adults should exercise 2-3 times a week, for 45-60 min. Strength, endurance, flexibility, and balance training components should be incorporated, and strength and balance training should be emphasized.
