The Impact and Intervention of Handheld Tai Chi Water-Resistance Fitness Ball on Middle-Aged and Elderly Patients with Parkinson’s Disease

Through the use of a survey and statistical methods, this study explores the effects and interventions of handheld Tai Chi water resistance fitness balls on the elderly with Parkinson’s disease. Firstly, a questionnaire on exercise compliance for patients with Parkinson’s disease was developed, and its reliability and validity were tested. Then, a survey was conducted to investigate the current status of exercise compliance among Parkinson’s disease patients, including general information, scoring status, and single and multiple factor analyses of influencing factors [1]. The results of the study show that through qualitative research, the dimensions and item pools of the questionnaire were initially constructed, and the reliability analysis of the questionnaire was conducted through Delphi expert consultation, with favorable results in terms of its reliability and validity [2]. Regarding the current status of exercise compliance among Parkinson’s disease patients, the study found that the level of exercise compliance needs improvement, and there are significant differences in exercise compliance levels among patients under different circumstances. Finally, the research results were discussed and conclusions were drawn. The innovation of this study lies in the development of a questionnaire on exercise compliance for patients with Parkinson’s disease and the preliminary qualitative research and Delphi expert consultation conducted on it, providing new ideas and methods for the study of exercise compliance. However, the study also has limitations as it did not examine the effects of other interventions on Parkinson’s disease, so further research should be conducted [3].

Effects of UV-B radiation on fitness related behaviors of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius

Ozone depletion induced by anthropogenic gases has been increasing the transmission of solar ultraviolet-B radiation(UV-B, 280–315 nm) through the atmosphere, which may impact the fitness of marine invertebrates in intertidal and shallow waters. To our knowledge, however, the responses of fitness related behaviors to UV-B radiation at different intensities have been rarely studied in marine invertebrates. For the first time, the present study investigated the eff ects of exposure of one hour to UV-B radiation at different intensities on foraging behavior, Aristotle's lantern reflex and righting behavior of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius. Exposure of one hour to UV-B radiation at 10 μW/cm^2 significantly reduced foraging behavior. An intensity dependent eff ect of exposure to UV-B radiation was found in the duration of the Aristotle's lantern reflex. Exposure to UV-B radiation at 20 μW/cm^2 for one hour significantly reduced the duration of the Aristotle's lantern reflex, but 10 μW/cm^2 did not. There was no significant diff erence of righting response time among sea urchins exposed to 0, 10 and 20 μW/cm^2 for one hour. To test potential carryover ef fects, the behavioral traits were re-measured three days later. We found significant carryover eff ects of UV-B radiation on foraging time and righting response time, but not on the duration of the Aristotle's lantern reflex. The present study indicates that a brief exposure of one hour to UV-B radiation can significantly aff ect the duration of Aristotle's lantern reflex, righting response time and foraging behavior of a sea urchin, although the immediate impacts and carryover eff ects were highly trait dependent. This study provides new information into the behavioral responses of marine invertebrates to exposure to UV-B radiation. Future studies should be carried out to investigate long-term carryover eff ects of UV-B radiation on behavioral and physiological fitness related traits.

Buerger’s Disease and Fitness for Work in a Flight Personnel: A Case Report

Buerger’s disease, also called thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO), is an inflammatory disease affecting small and medium size blood vessels of the limbs. Several risk factors are strongly associated with this disease. In fact, heavy smokers represent 99% of patients diagnosed with Buerger’s disease and smoking cessation can slow down the progression of the pathology. Ulcers and gangrene are very common complications and TAO may also cause a vasculitis as well as ischemic damage to the distal part of the limbs that can eventually lead to limb amputation. Here, we report the case of a 43 years old patient, a flight personnel working in a Tunisian airline company who consults for a lesion of the left toe that appeared 2 weeks ago. He is a chronic inveterate smoker with 36 pack-years. The diagnosis of TAO was made based on the clinical presentation and the results of the Doppler Ultrasound of the left toe. This disease has a major impact on the quality of life due to the risk of necrotic ulcers and amputation. Navigation is a profession that requires a high level of physical and mental fitness. According to the international and Tunisian standards, the applicant or the holder of medical certificate must not have a cardiovascular condition that may affect the safety of the exercise.

A Traceable Cancer Model: DNA Damage, Fragile Site-SMGs, Mitotic Slippage, 4n-Genome-Reduction to Fitness-Gained, Initiating, 2n First Cells

We have known since 1976 that cancer evolves clonally from one initiated normal human cell, the first cell. Today we see that this fact has been overshadowed from federal funding choice of the mutation theory (MT), which not yet has shown tumorigenesis-initiation in normal human cells. Our suggested, death signaled, stress model from time delayed S-period (replication slowness), causing repair instability from under-replicated lesions in repetitive DNAs, herein has the objective of revealing, significant literature support from a mini-review. We reasoned that early versus late S-period stress would have different outcomes: early the slowness affecting mitotic slippage with diploid re-replication to 4n cells whereas late-S, with milder stress effect, producing diploid cells. In cancer burden, near-half is diploid, but tetraploid solid tumors have the attention. The initial 4n cells were special with orderly genomic reductive division to diploid first cells with measurable fitness-gain from hours-reduced total cell cycle time. Experimental data from Coxsakie-B3 virus infected normal fibroblasts, reiterated 4n cell production from death-signaled recovery-cells with progressive cell-phenotypic changes to polygonal and roundness cell-shapes, indistinguishable from diagnostic/prognostic cancer morphology. The 4n cells showed a self-inflicted 90° turn of the 4n nucleus before division, affecting a perpendicular orientation of the fitness-gained first cells relative to neighboring cells. In an illustrated cell cycle drawing with early and late S-period stress, it became clear that coding genes on borders of repair unstable satellite, repetitive DNA regions, could become mutated. We found these mutations to be tumor SMGs (significantly mutated genes). Evidential material was presented for loss of function genetics driving tumorigenesis to a parasitic lifestyle.

Ease Allowance Distributed Features of Different Garment Styles

To investigate the effect of fashion style on ease distributed features in different body parts and orientations,three female shirts with the same size specifications but different silhouettes were designed.Seven female participants whose body shape were similar to Chinese garment size standard were scanned by three dimensional human body scanner both with and without experimental shirts.The ease distribution of three shirts was measured and analyzed by using Geomagic Qualify software.The results show that ease distribution of most body parts can be influenced by garment styles except the upper back and chest.Ease allowances are not evenly distributed in different orientations of body parts,and it tends to be lager at lateral body than at medial.This knowledge can be applied in pattern design for better fitness.

地铁齿轮的C-P-S-N曲线研究及其可靠性分析

在对齿轮进行寿命设计与可靠性分析时,了解齿轮的强度和寿命分布极为重要。为此,以弯曲疲劳、接触疲劳实验数据为基础,对某地铁齿轮的C-P-S-N曲线进行了研究,对其可靠性进行了分析。首先,针对P-S-N曲线的失真,提出了一种利用拟合材料参数的修正方法,分别计算了齿轮不同置信度下的接触和弯曲C-P-S-N曲线;然后,以置信度为95%的C-P-S-N曲线为基准,得出了郑州某地铁齿轮箱在不同工况下的疲劳寿命分布参数,并分析了其寿命离散度规律;最后,运用顺序可靠度理论,对齿轮多工况下的综合可靠度进行了评判。研究结果表明:与其他方法相比,采用拟合材料参数的方法得到的疲劳强度差异最大为0.48%,与采用其他方法所得结果具有相同的参考性;随着置信度的增加,齿轮疲劳强度的离散度也随之增加;弯曲疲劳强度的变异系数约为0.096,接触疲劳强度的变异系数约为0.062,且接触疲劳寿命的可靠度小于弯曲疲劳寿命,即小齿轮更容易发生接触疲劳破坏;当地铁运行里程达到1.36×10^(7)km时,不发生接触疲劳破坏的概率约为0.989。
