Fine Motor Control is Related to Cognitive Control in Adolescents with Down Syndrome     

Chih-Chia Chen  Shannon D.R. Ringenbach  Andrew Albert  Keith Semken 《International Journal of Disability, Development & Education》2014,61(1):6-15

The connection between human cognitive development and motor functioning has been systematically examined in many typical and atypical populations; however, only a few studies focus on people with Down syndrome (DS). Twelve adolescents with DS participated and their cognitive control, measured by the Corsi-Block tapping test (e.g., visual working memory), the Auditory Memory span test (e.g., verbal working memory) and the Tower of London test (e.g., cognitive planning), and motor control, measured by the Purdue Pegboard (e.g., fine motor control), were measured in this study. Results indicate that if people with DS have better performance in fine manual dexterity, they will have better performance in cognitive planning and verbal working memory abilities. The co-activation hypothesis of the prefrontal area and the cerebellum may support this positive relationship. Hence, it is suggested people with DS will obtain benefits in cognitive control by participating in further motor intervention.  相似文献

Physical Activity Indicators,Metabolic Biomarkers,and Comorbidity in Type 2 Diabetes     

《Research quarterly for exercise and sport》2012,83(4):690-698

ABSTRACT

Purpose: This study aimed (1) to compare physical activity (PA) indicators, metabolic biomarkers, and comorbidity, (2) to investigate the relationship between PA indicators and metabolic biomarkers, comorbidity and (3) to identify barriers to PA in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) who are using oral hypoglycaemic agent (OHA) or combined OHA and insulin (OHAiN). Methods: Sixty-one patients were classified as patients using only OHA or combined OHAiN. Metabolic biomarkers (waist-to-hip ratio, body mass index (BMI), lipid profile, glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose, comorbidity and PA indicators (self-reported PA, number of steps (NOS), 6-minute walking distance (6MWD)) were assessed. PA perceptions and reasons for inactivity were questioned. Results: The comorbidity (p = .013), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (p = .026), total cholesterol (p = .008) and HbA1c (p = .020) were higher and PA level was lower (p = .007) in the OHAiN group. NOS was positively correlated with high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (p = .037) and negatively correlated with BMI (p = .007). 6MWD was negatively correlated with BMI (p = .014) and comorbidity (p = .004) in the OHA group. BMI was a significant predictor of NOS (adjusted R² = 0.242) and comorbidity for 6MWD (adjusted R² = 0.250) in the OHA group. The majority of the patients (OHA = 34.3%, OHAiN = 42.3%) reported “lack of time” as the most common barrier to PA. Conclusions: This study showed that patients on OHAiN have lower PA levels, poorer metabolic profiles, and higher comorbidity rates than OHA users. PA indicators were related with some metabolic biomarkers and comorbidity in only OHA users. The most common reason for inactivity was “the lack of time” in both groups.  相似文献   

利用能量单位评价跑步经济性的有效性研究     

郜卫峰 《体育科学》2012,32(5):49-57

目的:利用便携式肺功能仪,在场地条件下测试中跑运动员4种次极限跑速时的跑步经济性(RE),比较以时间耗氧(ml/kg/min)、距离耗氧(ml/kg/km)和距离耗能(kcal/kg/km)单位评价RE的有效性。方法:10名中跑运动员在标准田径场跑道上完成1次递增负荷测试和1次持续4个回合的恒定负荷测试。通过递增负荷测试获取最大耗氧量(VO2max)和无氧阈(AT),并分别以70%、80%、90%、105%AT强度完成5～10min恒定负荷测试,取稳态耗氧量及相关呼吸指标计算3种不同单位表示时的RE。结果:3种单位表示的RE在两两间均呈现出非常显著的相关关系(P<0.01)。随运动强度的增高,单位时间的耗氧在每级间均显著增高(P<0.05);单位距离的耗氧则无明显变化(P>0.05),且在80%～105%AT强度间出现微弱的降低;单位距离的能耗在70%～90%AT间缓慢增高(P>0.05),但在90%～105%AT间增高显著(P<0.05);呼吸交换率(RER)则在80%～105%AT间出现了不同程度地显著提高(80%～90%AT:P<0.05,90%～105%AT:P<0.01)。结论:无论是时间耗氧单位还是距离耗氧单位,都忽略了底物利用的不同对耗氧量的影响,无法有效评定RE。能量单位更符合RE的本质特征,与运动实践更加相关,是评定RE的有效单位。  相似文献   

Relation of uric acid levels to aortic root dilatation in hypertensive patients with and without metabolic syndrome     

Li-jiang Tang  Jian-jun Jiang  Xiao-feng Chen  Jian-an Wang  Xian-fang Lin  Yu-xi Du  Cong-feng Fang  Zhao-xia Pu 《Journal of Zhejiang University. Science. B》2010,11(8):592-598

Objective:Uric acid(UA) is considered to be a powerful predictor of cardiovascular risk and hyperuricemia might be involved in the metabolic syndrome(MS).This study aims to investigate the relation between UA levels and aortic root dilatation.Methods:A total of 348 hypertensive patients [age(67.5±9.8) years] with or without MS were included in the study.The aortic root diameters at the aortic annulus,the sinuses of Valsalva,the sinotubular junction,and the proximal part of the ascending aorta were measured using a two-dimensional(2D) echocardiography.Serum UA levels were also measured for all patients.Results:A high UA level is independently associated with aortic root diameters at the sinuses of Valsalva(P=0.001) and the proximal ascending aorta(P0.0001) in the hypertensive patients without MS.In contrast,aortic root diameters were not significantly related to UA levels in the hypertensive patients with MS.Furthermore,increased UA levels were associated with an increased risk for aortic root dilatation in the patients without MS(sex-adjusted hazard ratio 1.75,95% confidence intervals(CI) 1.27-2.41),but not in those with MS.Conclusions:This study demonstrated an independent relationship between the aortic root dimensions and increased levels of serum UA in the hypertensive patients without MS.Further understanding of the mechanisms underlying these associations may allow a clearer interpretation of the potential value of specific urate-lowering treatment on cardiovascular disease.  相似文献   

Pancreatic somatostatinoma with obscure inhibitory syndrome and mixed pathological pattern     

Bo Zhang  Qiu-ping Xie  Shun-liang Gao  Yan-biao Fu  Yu-lian Wu 《Journal of Zhejiang University. Science. B》2010,11(1):22-26

Somatostatinoma is a very rare neuroendocrine tumor that originates from D cells and accounts for less than 1% of all gastrointestinal endocrine tumors. The duodenum is the most frequent site for this tumor, followed by the pancreas. We here describe a 46-year-old Chinese woman who developed pancreatic somatostatinoma presenting with the characteristic “inhibitory” syndrome, but the symptoms were obscure and seemingly uncorrelated. This case is also unique for its large tumor size and mixed pathological pattern. Distal pancreatectomy was performed, and the patient has remained well since operation. As the syndromes of somatostatinoma may be obscure and atypical, clinicians should review all clinical findings to obtain an accurate diagnosis. Aggressive surgery is preferred to improve the survival.  相似文献   

A case of overlapping Bickerstaff＇s brainstem encephalitis and Guillain-Barre syndrome     

王德玍  汤颖  王晔 《Journal of Zhejiang University. Science. B》2006,7(2):138-141

Objective： There is no report on Bickerstaff s brainstem encephalitis （BBE） patients in China. We here report the first case of BBE in China. Methods： Clinical features, results of electromyography, eleetroencephalography （EEG）, magnetic resonance imaging （MRI） and cerebrospinal fluid （CSF） examination were studied to clarify the characteristics of this syndrome. Results： A 44-year-old man presented himself at our inpatient department with somnolence and dizziness as his initial symptoms. He developed multiple cranial nerves paralysis especially internal and external ophthalmoplegia, ataxia and tetraparesis within 1 week. His condition rapidly deteriorated, and he experienced coma. Electromyography showed indications of peripheral nerve dysfunction, electroencephalography revealed loss of basic rhythm, MR1 demonstrated high-intensity abnormalities on T2-weighted images of medulla oblongata, and CSF albuminocytological dissociation was defined abnormally as high protein. Ten months later, he almost completely recovered. Conclusion： BBE, fisher syndrome （FS） and Guillain-Barre syndrome （GBS） are similar clinically; BBE and FS were proposed to be the variant of GBS.  相似文献
