Effects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Combined with Balance Acupuncture Treatment on Sleep Quality and Psychology in Patients after Stroke by YANG Huazhong, CUI Jinlong, FAN Hexin, XIONG Zhonghui, YAO Yuanmian, ZHOU Shasha, CUI Wenxiu, SUN Tianbao

“…The Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA), Hamilton depression rating scale (HAMD) and other indicators before and after treatment were observed as well as serum γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) level were detected in all patients.ResultsThe total effective rate was 75% (15/20) in the rTMS group, 73.68% (14/19) in the balance acupuncture group, and 100% (20/20) in the combination group. …”

Characteristics of Static Balance Function in Elderly Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Different Blood Pressure States by Shuai GUO, Zhizhen LIU, Jiawei QIN, Lianhua YIN, Jia HUANG, Jing TAO

“….; compared the difference of health-related indicators in three groups, such as blood pressure (BP) and pulse rate per minute; compared the difference of static balance function parameters in three groups, such as track length (LNG), surface of the statokine-sigram (SSKG), LNG/area, track length-X(LNG-X), track length-Y(LNG-Y), romberg quotient (RQ) and deviation amplitude (DA).Results:①Blood biochemical indexes: compared with the control group, FBG, GHbA1c, TG, TC and LDL in the T2DM group and T2DM-HTN group were higher (<italic>P</italic>&lt; 0.05); compared with T2DM group, FBG in the T2DM-HTN group was higher (<italic>P</italic>&lt; 0.05). ②Health-related indicators: compared with the control group, BMI, pulse rate per minute and systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the T2DM group and T2DM-HTN group were higher (<italic>P</italic>&lt; 0.05); compared with the T2DM group, BMI, pulse rate per minute and systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the T2DM-HTN group were higher (<italic>P</italic>&lt; 0.05). ③Static balance function parameters: At open eyes state, compared with the control group, LNG/area in the T2DM group was higher (<italic>P</italic>&lt; 0.05), LNG, SSKG, LNG/area, LNG-X and LNG-Y in the T2DM group were higher (<italic>P</italic>&lt; 0.05); Compared with the T2DM group, LNG, LNG/area, LNG-X and LNG-Y in the T2DM-HTN group were higher (<italic>P</italic>&lt; 0.05). …”

Effect of Multi-Joint Functional Electrical Stimulation Combined with Conventional Rehabilitation Therapy on Lower Limb Motor Function of Patients with Stroke by LIU Jiapeng, WANG Weining, XU Dongyan, WANG Nianhong, WU Yi

“…Before treatment, two and four weeks after treatment, Fugl-Meyer assessment lower extremity (FMA-LE) was used to assess lower limb motor function; the JiBuEn three-dimensional gait analysis system was used to assess the walking speed, stride length, double support phase (the stage of the gait cycle in which both feet landed simultaneously), and average knee flexion and extension angles (the average of the maximum knee flexion and extension angles); the modified Barthel index (MBI) was used to assess the activities of daily living.Results(1) FMA-LE and MBI scores: compared with that before treatment, the FMA-LE and MBI scores of both groups increased significantly after two and four weeks of treatment, with statistically significant differences (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). …”
