Tibial acceleration and shock attenuation while running over different surfaces in a trail environment

ObjectivesIncreased tibial axial acceleration and reduced shock attenuation are associated with running injuries and are believed to be influenced by surface type. Trail running has increased in popularity and is thought to have softer surface properties than paved surface, but it is unclear if trail surfaces influence tibial acceleration and shock attenuation. The purpose of this study was to investigate peak triaxial and resultant tibial acceleration as well as axial and resultant shock attenuation among dirt, gravel, and paved surfaces.DesignFifteen recreational runners (12 females, 3 males, age = 27.7 ± 9.1 years) ran over dirt, gravel, and paved surfaces in a trail environment while instrumented with triaxial tibial and head accelerometers.MethodsDifferences between tri-planar peak tibial accelerations (braking, propulsion, axial, medial, lateral, and resultant) and shock attenuations (axial and resultant) among surface types were assessed with one-way ANOVAs with Bonferroni post-hoc tests.ResultsNo significant differences were found for tibial accelerations or shock attenuations among surface types (p > 0.05).ConclusionsDirt and gravel trail running surfaces do not have lower tibial accelerations or greater shock attenuation than paved surfaces. While runners are encouraged to enjoy the psychological benefits of trail running, trail surfaces do not appear to reduce loading forces associated with running-related injuries.     

唐以前医籍中有关消渴病饮食服药宜忌探析

消渴病与饮食关系密切,关于消渴病发病及治疗过程中的饮食、服药宜忌古已有之。其思想发源于《内经》,具体论述始于《伤寒杂病论》,在魏晋南北朝时期的诸多医籍中不断积累完善,到了唐代《外台秘要》和《医心方》时已经比较成熟,能够自成体系。通过系统总结唐以前医籍所载关于消渴病饮食及服药宜忌内容,分析其内在规律,有助于扩展和加深对糖尿病饮食宜忌相关的学术研究。     

电针复合TCI靶控输注在单肺通气食管癌开胸手术麻醉中的应用与安全性＊

目的 探讨电针复合靶控输注（Target Controlled Infusion， TCI）在单肺通气食管癌开胸手术麻醉中的应用价值。方法 选取于我院拟行单肺通气食管癌开胸切除手术患者60例作为研究对象。随机将其分为试验组与对照组，对照组30例采取气管插管全麻及TCI靶控输注维持麻醉深度，试验组30例则在对照组方案基础上辅助电针麻醉，记录两组患者手术麻醉时间、药物用量、苏醒时间、并发症；以及术前（T_Ⅰ）、插管前即刻（T_Ⅱ）、插管后1 min（T_Ⅲ）、切皮即刻（T_Ⅳ）、去骨时（T_Ⅴ）、拔管即刻（T_Ⅵ）时平均动脉压（MAP）、平均心率（HR）、BIS值；术前、术后1天、术后3天简易智能精神状态检查量表（MMSE）；并于麻醉诱导前（T₀）、手术开始2 h（T₁）、术后1天（T₂）、术后3天（T₃）时抽取患者外周静脉血检测IL-1β、IL-6、IL-10、TNF-α浓度。结果 试验组手术用时、麻醉时间略低于对照组，但差异无统计学意义（P>0.05），试验组异丙酚、舒芬太尼用量以及苏醒时间均明显低于对照组（P<0.05）；T_Ⅱ时两组平均动脉压（Mean Arterial Pressure， MAP）、心率（Heartrate， HR）较术前明显降低，且试验组MAP明显低于对照组（P<0.05），但两组T_Ⅱ时HR比较无显著差异（P>0.05）；T_Ⅲ、T_Ⅵ时对照组MAP、HR明显高于T_Ⅰ时，而试验组MAP、HR与T_Ⅰ比较无显著差异（P>0.05）。术后1天、3天试验组简易智能精神状态检查量表（Mini-Mental State Examination， MMSE）评分低于对照组，有显著性差异（P<0.05）。T₁、T₂、T₃时试验组白介素-1β（IL-1β）、白介素-6（IL-6）、肿瘤坏死因子（Tumor Necrosis Factor-α， TNF-α）水平明显低于对照组（P<0.05），白介素-10（IL-10）水平明显高于对照组（P<0.05）。结论 采用电针复合TCI靶控输注麻醉方案可有效提升单肺通气食管癌开胸手术麻醉效果，能够降低患者术后认知功能障碍发生风险。     

Les bouchées enrichies adaptées,un outil à la portée des établissements sanitaires et médico-sociaux ainsi que des aidants familiaux : retour d’expérience

IntroductionFor many years, nutrition of the elderly is of a special attention. The food policies wants to value the regional initiatives that can be slowed down, and new techniques of adapted food are in development. Following a tracking of malnutrition in an establishment for dependent elderly, a program of nutritional improvement was set up. It was decided to transform the dishes of the daily menu into small enriched, mixed, prehensile mouthfuls, with for objective to use the remaining capacities of the patients, to adapt the care to their rhythm, to answer their expectations and their nutritional needs.MethodThe agents of texture of the mouthfuls were adapted. Their enrichment and their presentation were specified, as well as the modalities of distribution, in order to allow an easy access as well by the patients, the nursing and the families. Cooled cupboards were used.ResultsThe residents found again the pleasure to eat by themselves, their self-respect and consequently covered better their needs. A decrease of the malnutrition prevalence was observed. Times of exchange with other establishments and a formation were set up to share this tool. Levers were identified to develop this concept under good conditions.ConclusionThe adapted enriched mouthfuls tool seems to be useful. Its application is inseparable of a voluntary multidisciplinary approach, anchored in the knowledge of the accompanied person and in the analysis of her global situation. This tool is adaptable not only in any structure welcoming dependent, old people or not, but also at home.
