A prospective clinical study of functional exercises beforearteriovenostomy by CHEN Hao, LIU Juan

“…Objective To study the effect of preoperative functional exercises on the success rate of arteriovenostomy and postoperative complications.Methods The subjects were randomly divided into two groups:preoperative non-exercise group and preoperative exercise group.The age,sex,APACHE II score and serum Cystatin C value before operation,and cephalic vein diameter,hemoglobin,platelet,albumin,and cholesterol two months before operation and on the operation day were collected.And the subjects were observed for half a year after operation.The observation indicators included the success of internal fistula surgery,the maturation time of internal fistula,the use time of internal fistula,the blood flow of the brachial artery,and postoperative complications.And the differences between the groups were analyzed.Results There were 75 patients in the non-exercise group and 76 patients in the two-month exercise group.Overall success rate of surgery was 92.1%.The success rate of preoperative exercise group was 94.7%,and that of preoperative non-exercise group was 89.3%,with statistically significant difference between the two groups(P=0.03).The preoperative exercise group had a blood flow at the fistular orifice more than the non-exercise group by 38.8 ml/min.The average fistular maturation time in the exercise group was shorter than that in the non-exercise group by 4 days,with statistically significant difference between the two groups.However,there were no significant differences between the two groups in the comparison of the use time of internal fistula and the incidence of postoperative complications.Conclusions Functional exercises before arteriovenostomy can improve the success rate of surgery and increase the brachial blood flow,but it does not prolong the survival time of internal fistula or reduce the complication incidence.…”

Dynamic change in maternal cardiac function during pregnancy by Xiu-Juan Wang, Ling-Ling Chen, Ming-Huan Hong, Ling-Yun Kong, Wei Xiang, Li Fu, Xiao-Wei Li, Fang Liu

“…The difference in cardiac structure and function among the 4 groups were analyzed. Multivariate regression analysis was conducted to identify the independent factors influencing change in cardiac function.ResultsThe median age of the 4 groups were comparable [T1 group, 31.0 (28.5,34.0) years; T2 group, 31.0 (29.0,34.0) years; T3 group, 31.0 (29.0,34.0) years; the NPC group, 31.0 (28.0,34.0) years, P = 0.905). …”

Isomorphisms of algebras of symmetric functions on spaces $\ell_p$ by T. V. Vasylyshyn

“…The work is devoted to the study of algebras of entire symmetric functions on some Banach spaces of sequences. A function on a vector space is called symmetric with respect to some fixed group $G$ of operators acting on this space, or $G$-symmetric, if it is invariant under the action of elements of the group $G$ on its argument. …”

Symmetric linear functionals on the Banach space generated by pseudometrics by S. I. Nykorovych, T. V. Vasylyshyn

“…Two pseudometrics $d_1$ and $d_2$ on a set $X$ are called $B$-equivalent, where $B$ is a subgroup of the group of all bijections on $X,$ if there exists an element $b$ of $B$ such that $d_1(x,y) = d_2(b(x),b(y))$ for every $x,y\in X,$ that is, $d_1$ can be obtained from $d_2$ by permutating elements of $X$ with the aid of the bijection $b.$ The group $B$ generates the group $\widehat B$ of transformations of the set of all pseudometrics on $X,$ elements of which act as $d(\cdot, \cdot)\mapsto d(b(\cdot),b(\cdot)),$ where $d$ is a pseudometrics on $X$ and $b\in B.$ A function $f$ on the set of all pseudometrics on $X$ is called $\widehat B$-symmetric if $f$ is invariant under the action on its argument of elements of the group $\widehat B.$ If two pseudometrics $d_1$ and $d_2$ are $B$-equivalent, then $f(d_1)=f(d_2)$ for every $\widehat B$-symmetric function $f.$ In general, the technique of symmetric functions is well-developed for the case of symmetric continuous polynomials and, in particular, for the case of symmetric continuous linear functionals on Banach spaces. …”
