[Purpose] This study evaluated the effects of Thai dance on cardiopulmonary factors in
menopausal women. [Subjects] Sixty-six menopausal women aged 40 years or more. [Methods]
Subjects were randomly assigned to either the Thai dance or control group. The Thai dance
group performed a traditional Thai dancing exercise program for 60 minutes, 3 times per
week for 6 weeks. The control group received general health guidance. The 6-minutewalk
test, peak expiratory flow, forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in one second,
maximal voluntary ventilation, and chest expansion were assessed at baseline and at the
end of the study. [Results] Sixty-six menopausal women were eligible. At the end of the
study, all variables were significantly better in the Thai dance group than the control
group. Moreover, all variables improved significantly compared to baseline in the Thai
dance group but not in the control group. For example, the mean 6-minutewalk test result
in Thai dance group at the end of the study was 285.4 m, which was significantly higher
than that at baseline (254.8 m) and the control group at baseline (247.0 m). [Conclusion]
A 6-week Thai dance program improves cardiorespiratory endurance in menopausal women.Key words: Exercise, Cardiorespiratory endurance, Lung function 相似文献

Characterization of the 56-kDa type-specific antigen (TSA) genes of Orientia tsutsugamushi (OT) from three naturally infected, laboratory-reared mite colonies comprising three species (Leptotrombidium deliense [Ld], Leptotrombidium imphalum [Li], and Leptotrombidium chiangraiensis [Lc]) has revealed the presence of single and coexisting OT genotypes found in individual chiggers. The Karp genotype was found in all of the chiggers examined, whereas Gilliam and UT302 genotypes were only observed in combination with the Karp genotype. From analysis of these OT genotypes after transmission from chiggers to mice it was determined that with the Lc and Li mites, the OT genotype composition in the rodent spleens post-infection had not changed and therefore resembled that observed in the feeding chiggers. However, only the Karp genotype was found in rodents after feeding by Ld chiggers carrying Karp and Gilliam genotypes. The current findings reveal a complex association among the host, pathogen, and vector. 相似文献

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major health problem, affecting over 170 million people worldwide. HCV causes a wide spectrum of liver disease, varying from persistent to asymptomatic infection. To evaluate the role of immunoglobulin (Ig) GM and KM genes in HCV infection, 191 HCV-infected Thai subjects were studied. These included 43 individuals with transient HCV infection and 148 individuals with persistent chronic HCV infection. The controls consisted of 134 healthy individuals. Several GM and KM alleles were determined by polymerase chain reaction-based methods. The frequency of G1M(f) homozygotes was lower (52.4% vs. 64.2%, P = 0.03) and the frequency of G1M(z) homozygotes was higher (10.5% vs. 3.7%, P = 0.02) in patients than the respective frequencies in controls. These results suggest that GM genotypes make a significant contribution to the risk of acquiring HCV infection. 相似文献

On 26 December 2004, a tsunami devastated the west coast of Thailand and caused 8457 injuries and 5395 deaths. Data were collected from 26 December 2004 to 31 January 2005 at four public hospitals to describe the character and treatment of wounds of 523 persons who were injured during tsunami and sought medical treatment. Wounds were contaminated with mud, sand, debris and sea water and had an infection rate of 66·5% (674/1013). Most wounds (45%) had poly‐microbial infection with gram‐negative rods such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus and Pseudomonas species. The risk of wound infection increased with size of the wound and presence of an open fracture. Infections occurred more frequently on the lower than upper trunk of the body. Early treatment with antibiotics was protective against wound infection. Many patients asked to have their wounds sutured so that they could return to their village to look for their families and to repair damage. This report suggests that wounds should be aggressively debrided and suturing postponed if possible. Patients should be given broad spectrum antibiotics to assist with wound healing. 相似文献

The vertebrate hosts of 672 blood-engorged Culex quinquefasciatus Say, collected in Harris County, Texas, during 2005, were identified by nucleotide sequencing PCR products of the cytochrome b gene. Analysis revealed that 39.1% had acquired blood from birds, 52.5% from mammals, and 8.3% were mixed avian and mammalian blood meals. Most frequent vertebrate hosts were dog (41.0%), mourning dove (18.3%), domestic cat (8.8%), white-winged dove (4.3%), house sparrow (3.2%), house finch (3.0%), gray catbird (3.0%), and American robin (2.5%). Results are interpreted in conjunction with concurrent avian and mosquito West Nile virus (WNV) surveillance activities in Harris County. We conclude that Cx. quinquefasciatus is an opportunistic feeder and principal mosquito vector of WNV in this metropolitan area; however, transmission by other mosquito species or by other modes of infection, such as ingestion, must account for the high WNV infection rates among local blue jays and American crows. 相似文献

Background: Helicobacter pylori is now recognized as a causative factor of chronic gastritis, gastroduodenal ulcers, gastric cancer and mucosaassociated lymphatic tissue lymphoma. Tolllike receptors are important bacterial receptors in gastric epithelial cell signaling transduction and play critical roles in gastric carcinogenesis. Materials and Methods: A total of 400 patients undergoing esophagogastroduodenoscopy for investigation of chronic abdominal pain were genotyped for singlenucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TLR1 (rs4833095) using TagMan SNPs genotyping assay by realtime PCR hybridization. Relationships with susceptibility to H. pylori infection and premalignant gastric mucosa morphological patterns, classified by magnifying NBI endoscopy, were investigated. Results: The percentages of TLR1 rs4833095, CC homozygous, CT heterozygous and TT homozygous cases were 34, 46.5 and 19%, respectively. CC showed statistical differences between H. pylori positive and negative cases (P<0.001). CT and TT correlated with type 1 and type 2 gastric mucosal morphological patterns (P<0.01) whereas CC correlated with types 3 and 4 (P<0.01). Conclusions: This study demonstrated good correlation of TLR1 rs4833095 genotype with severity of inflammation in H. pylori infected gastric mucosa according to gastric mucosal morphologic patterns with magnifying NBI endoscopy 相似文献

The highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5N1 is known to induce high level of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) from primary macrophages. However, it is still unclear whether current H5N1 strains also induce high TNF-α production, as most of the data were derived from extinct clade 0 H5N1 strain. Here, we show that current clade 1 and 2 H5N1 strains induce variable levels of TNF-α that are not necessarily higher than those induced by seasonal influenza viruses. The result suggests that hyper-induction of TNF-α in human macrophages is not always associated with a highly pathogenic phenotype. We further tested the contribution of the NS gene segment from H5N1 isolates to TNF-α induction by using reverse genetics. While NS conferred some variation in TNF-α induction when incorporated into an H1N1 virus genetic background, it did not affect TNF-α induction in an H5N1 virus genetic background, suggesting that other viral genes are involved. 相似文献

This report presented a case of sudden profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss with progressive facial diparesis in a 64-year-old woman. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) finding mimicked bilateral masses in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) in an absence of clinical meningeal or parenchymal involvements at the first presentation. Surgical biopsy and histopathologic finding identified masses secondary to direct invasion of adenocarcinoma of gastrointestinal origin. Many investigations could not discover the primary site of the metastatic adenocarcinoma. Grave prognosis was observed in all cases reported including ours; the patient died 10 weeks after onset of symptoms. 相似文献
