Qi Gong and Heart Rate Variability: A Systematic Review

Qì Gōng is a type of exercise that involves meditation and is used for health. With a background from the martial arts, it is known also as an auto healing exercise with three main elements according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): body focus (posture and movement), breathing and mind focus (meditative elements). Heart rate variability is a tool that allows us to measure the autonomic system velocity to detect and respond to unexpected stimuli. So our goal was to build a systematic review of Qi Gong and Heart rate variability. PUBMED, EBSCO and Science Direct data bases were searched. Key terms (MeSH) were Heart Rate Variability and Ch’i Kung OR Qi Gong with a 10-year filter. Four independent reviewers analyzed all articles and excluded duplicated articles, articles in Chinese and articles with no adherence to the subject. The end result was 5 studies selected. Our results showed no significant improvements in HRV with the practice of Qì Gōng, probably because of data heterogeneity. We found 5 types of Qì Gōng, 3 different instruments and different time intervals to measure HRV and 2 different age groups in the studies. We can conclude that there is evidence that Qì Gōng can improve HRV but studies that would use the same parameters are needed to further confirm that.

西汉昌邑王国辅臣规谏刘贺的政治意蕴

西汉昌邑王国国主刘贺的两大辅臣王吉、龚遂,基于儒士本色和自己的政治追求,积极规谏刘贺以止其非,教导刘贺成为积极有为的王国之主。值刘贺被权臣霍光选为嗣君并登帝位之时,两人又着力规谏刘贺要恪守家国的忠孝礼制,和好霍光。王吉、龚遂因各自的性格和人生履历,规谏刘贺的内容与方式虽不尽相同,但都富含作为王国辅臣的能力与智慧,特别是在刘贺被选为嗣君的关键时刻,他们向霍光曲折地表达了自己输诚的心声,从而在刘贺政治失败后只是受到了较轻的刑罚。王吉、龚遂规谏的刘贺言行及其政治宿命,从一个特别的层面揭示出西汉武帝尊崇儒术后对地方王国政治的深刻影响,以及昭宣之际的霍光政局的政治文化性格。

如果你是早(da)餐(gong)店(si)的老板

单位大院那个有五年历史的早餐店提供的选择颇为有限。包子、馒头、茶叶蛋,一盘子的常见食物,火烧和煎饼。此外,一些冒着热气的粥在柜台后面一字排开。每当有顾客迎门而入,对话也总是这么开始的：＂早上好,大哥,今天要吃点什么？我们这儿有新上的胡萝卜馅的包子。＂大哥不喜欢吃包子。他点了一根油条,店老板立刻大声说：＂您还需要豆浆吧,我们这儿还有免费的榨菜,油条泡着或者塞点榨菜会比较好吃,是吧？＂只有呆板、不识趣的人才会说不是。＂一共5块钱。＂这个热情、友善的店老板和她的小店每天早上在行色匆匆的上班人流中格外显眼。

Potential benefits of Qi Gong meditation in quantifiable physiology: A five-year longitudinal observation

Objective: Qi Gong is a mind-and-body intervention to improve health and relieve disease conditions,which has been practiced for thousands of years. Lack of quantitative measures to monitor the quality and progress of Qi Gong practice has hindered the high-quality study to evaluate its health benefits.Methods: To develop such quantitative measures, vital sign changes in Qi Gong meditation practice of a single individual were monitored for 5 years by wearable devices.Results: This retrospective and exploratory analysis revealed significant changes in blood oxygen saturation, pulse rate, respiration rate, and perfusion index in response to Qi Gong practice and physiological adaptation to its long-term training. Among the physiological changes in vital signs, a physiological state with a significant 2-fold increase in pulse-respiration rate ratio was detected during Qi Gong meditation while the ratios were maintained at 4 under resting, sleeping, and mild cycling conditions.Conclusion: This is an inaugural report of a five-year longitudinal observation of this kind. Once validated in a well-designed cohort study, these non-invasive and easily obtained vital signs may be used as biomarkers to assess the adherence to breathing control during Qi Gong practice and can be applied to quantify the quality of Qi Gong practice in clinical trials with Qi Gong intervention.

贡蕉不同类型种苗对植株生长及产量性状的影响

贡蕉Musa‘Gong’是热带亚热带地区重要经济作物,其种苗主要有组培苗和吸芽苗,不同类型种苗对田间管理要求不同,从而影响植株生长和产量性状。采用贡蕉不同类型种苗,比较分析不同种苗生育期的生长指标和产量性状之间的差异,筛选优质种苗类型。结果表明,与组培苗相比,吸芽苗幼苗期内球茎高度、内球茎宽度、粗根系直径分别显著增加656.52%、393.06%和198.77%,抽蕾期假茎粗度、假茎高度、叶片宽度分别显著增加18.36%、16.82%和17.02%,采收期果穗质量、果指质量、果指背长、果穗长分别显著增加34.49%、32.01%、24.30%和17.76%。相关性分析发现,果穗质量与内球茎高度、内球茎宽度、果穗长、果指粗呈极显著正相关。说明自然条件下发育形成的吸芽种苗具有较大的球茎器官,养分贮存足,发苗快,植株长势强,更易丰产稳产,是优质种苗。

探讨“骨正筋和、形神共调”康复原则在慢性肌骨功能障碍中的应用

慢性肌骨功能障碍涉及全身各部位,影响患者的运动功能、日常活动及生活质量。肌骨障碍的主要病机为筋骨失衡、形神失调,具体表现为骨不正、筋不和的形体障碍及神散形坏的情绪认知及运动协调障碍等。“骨不正”表现包括关节对线不良和骨代谢的异常,影响形的活动度、稳定性及其控制能力,产生骨痹、骨痿等障碍;“筋不和”表现肌肉张力、质量、力量改变和肌群协调性异常、肌肉代谢失衡等,导致筋痿、筋痹、筋挛等障碍;形神不调表现为情绪认知改变及神经肌肉的运动控制障碍,导致筋骨控制的失常,形神功能难以相应,筋骨失衡与形神失调之间相互影响。根据肌骨康复的原理,结合中医康复对筋骨和形神功能的认识,提出“骨正筋和、形神共调”的康复原则。“骨正”为骨髓坚固、关节清利,保持关节良好的对线对位并保持正常的骨代谢平衡;“筋和”指关节周围的相关肌群、韧带等软组织具备良好的柔韧性和均衡的力量,肌群之间在运动和稳定中发挥协调的作用,同时肌肉代谢正常,即筋的形质和功能均维持在和谐的状态。骨正提供结构支撑和稳定的功能,“骨正则形健”,也与筋和提供的驱动关节活动和稳定协调关节运动的作用——“筋和则形康”相辅相成。“形神共调”指在骨正筋和的调控过程中,需要神经系统对关节活动、肌群激活及其协调性的正确控制,也需要情绪认知的良好配合,体现神明形安促进运动控制能力对筋骨平衡的重要性,实现“调神以御形”“全形以治神”。此外,中医康复疗法如传统运动、针灸、手法等均体现对筋骨平衡、调形治神的重要性。“骨正筋和、形神共调”是中医康复整体功能观的体现,也是适用于肌骨功能障碍的主动康复原则,有助于中西医结合康复发挥精准康复的优势和整体康复的特色。
