Abstract

Background: High plantar pressure values in obese children are of great concern due to the risk of inducing pain, discomfort, and foot pathologies, mainly for children’s growing feet. Obese children have been observed to have flat feet compared to those of their non-obese correspondents. Objective: The purpose of this study was to detect whether there were differences in the static and dynamic planter pressure distribution variables after weight reduction in obese children. Methods: Thirty obese prepubescent girls aged from 8 to 11 years were included in the study. The Tekscan foot pressure system was used to measure the static and dynamic plantar pressures before and after nine months of weight reduction program. The peak pressures beneath the forefoot, midfoot and rearfoot were measured for each foot. The weight reduction program consists of a combined dietary and exercise program. Results: The study revealed high significant differences in the peak force, contact area and in plantar pressure in standing. Significant differences were also found in dynamic pressure variables particularly under the mid foot region which was highly significant. Conclusion: It was concluded that decreasing the weight of obese children is an important issue because it will decrease both static and dynamic pressure variables, and in consequence decreasing the risk of obtaining foot problems, stress fractures, or ulcerations caused by effect of their increased weights  on their growing feet.

Abstract

Objective:To systematically evaluate the clinical effect of integrated traditional Chinese medicine and Western Medicine (TCM-WM) and to investigate effective therapy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM ) for lupus nephritis(LN). Methods A meta-analysis      was performed of all the literatures  germane  to estimate the patients treated with TCM-WM and western medicine(WM ) alone from published randomised controlled trials (RCTs) from 1990 to 2013. Results 12 RCTs were included. The methodological quality was generally low. The complete remission rate(RR =1.68, 95%CI 1.48-1.90, P<0.00001) and the total remission rate(RR =1.19, 95%CI 1.13-1.24, P<0.00001) of TCM-WM were higher than that of WM .The relapse rate(RR =0.3, 95%CI 0.22-0.42, P<0.00001), incidence of adverse reactions (RR =0.46, 95%CI 0.40-0.54, P<0.00001)and mortality rate (RR =0.38, 95%CI 0.23-0.63, P=0.00002)  of  TCM-WM were much lower than WM.  Conclusion  Our results indicate that using improving the blood flow clearing away toxic material, activating blood circulation to dissipate as central TCM-WM therapy were superior to therapy with WM alone. However, its effect on LN requires further careful study due to limited available randomized control trials.

Abstract

Helminthosporium Leaf Blight (HLB) caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana (Shoem.) and Pyrenophora tritici repentis (Died.) is the most problematic leaf spotting disease of wheat in warm plain regions of Nepal. Because of increasing temperature, erratic rainfall and changing weather conditions, the disease can also become devastating in vast mid-hill regions having comparatively cool temperature. Various levels of severity and intensity of HLB disease of wheat have been reported from different plain areas of Nepal; however, the confirm status of HLB disease of wheat in mid-hills and hills of Nepal is still lacking. Therefore, a study was carried out to identify the severity and intensity of HLB disease of wheat in five districts of mid-hill during 2012 and 2013 crop season.  Field monitorings were carried out and diseased samples were collected twice at Lalitpur, Bhaktapur, Dhading, Kathmandu and Nuwakot districts during the two crop seasons. The status of wheat crop and associated diseases under field conditions were observed and recorded. About 100 diseased leaf samples were collected from different fields of each site. The samples were than incubated under moist chambers for seven days at room temperature in laboratory of Plant Pathology Division, Lalitpur. After the incubation, the samples were studied under stereoscope microscope for the presence of leaf spotting pathogens. The condition of wheat crop at field was fair to good, and the leaf spotting disease symptoms were very low in most of the visited sites during first monitoring. The growth of the crop was still fair to good; however, considerable symptoms of leaf spotting diseases were observed in penultimate leaf and lower leaves in second monitoring. After heading stage, most of the wheat plants were infected with leaf spotting diseases; nevertheless, only scattered leaf spots were observed in single leaf and the total infected area in each leaf was petite. The intensity of leaf spotting disease was mild in popular wheat variety WK 1204. There was extensive growth of leaf spotting pathogens Bipolaris sorokiniana and Alternaria species on incubated leaf samples. More than 85% leaf samples were infected with devastating pathogen Bipolaris sorokiniana followed by Alternaria spp. and Epicoccum sp. The presence of Pyrenophora tritici repentis was also noticeable. The results indicate that the leaf blight disease of wheat has been increased in areas having moderate temperature, and will be a problem in future for wheat growers of Kathmandu valley and similar mid-hills regions of Nepal.
