Group A: BMI 〈 25, n = 22; Group B: BMI 25-30, n = 15; Group C: BMI 〉 30, n = 20. Diuresis, hematocrit, albumin, C-reactive protein, Malnutrition infammatory score, Pro-BNP, Troponin T, leptin and in-sulin levels are expressed as median and ranges (r). RESULTS: Albumin (g/dL): GA vs GC, 3.70 (r2.20-4.90) vs 3.85 (r3.40-4.90), P = 0.02. Diuresis (mL/d): GA 690 (r0-1780); GB 660 (r60-1800); GC 840 (r40-2840). Diuresis GA vs GC, P = 0.01. Leptin (ng/mL): GA vs GC, 3.81 (r0.78-69.60) vs GC, 32.80 (r0.78-124.50), P 〈 0.001. Insulin (μU/mL): GA vs GB, 7 (r2-44) vs 11.50 (r4-38), P = 0.02; GA vs GC, 7 (r2-44) vs 19.5 (r5-155), P = 0.0001. Troponin T and Pro-BNP levels were not different. Significant correlations: GC, Insulin-UF: ρ= 0.53; P = 0.03; TroponinT-diuresis: ρ = -0.48, P 〈 0.05; Pro-BNP-diuresis: ρ = -0.39, P 〈 0.01; Troponin T-ProBNP: ρ = 0.77, P 〈 0.0001; albumin-Troponin T: ρ = -0.66, P 〈 0.0001; albumin-ProBNP: ρ = -0.44, P 〈 0.05.CONCLUSION: High BMI associated positively with higher diuresis and albuminemia, and negatively with TropT and Pro-BNP. High BMI-associated better survival may be explained by better urinary output, lowering cardiovascular stress.展开更多

Methods: Tuina plus traction was applied to 40 teenagers with cervical distortion once every other day, and 10 days make up 1 treatment course. The therapeutic effect was evaluated after 2 courses. Result: Significant changes occurred after the treatment: 15 cases got correction, 20 cases got substantial improvement and 5 cases got certain improvement. Conclusion: Tuina plus traction works effectively for abnormal cervical physiological curve in teenagers.展开更多
