Abstract

Evidence of the health and wellbeing benefits of Tai Chi and Qigong (TQ) have emerged in the past two decades, but TQ is underutilized in modern health care in Western countries due to lack of promotion and the availability of professionally qualified TQ instructors. To date, there are no government regulations for TQ instructors or for training institutions in China and Western countries, even though TQ is considered to be a part of Traditional Chinese medicine that has the potential to manage many chronic diseases. Based on an integrative health care approach, the accreditation standard guideline initiative for TQ instructors and training institutions was developed in collaboration with health professionals, integrative medicine academics, Tai Chi and Qigong master instructors and consumers including public safety officers from several countries, such as Australia, Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Korea, Sweden and USA. In this paper, the rationale for organizing the Medical Tai Chi and Qigong Association (MTQA) is discussed and the accreditation standard guideline for TQ instructors and training institutions developed by the committee members of MTQA is presented. The MTQA acknowledges that the proposed guidelines are broad, so that the diversity of TQ instructors and training institutions can be integrated with recognition that these guidelines can be developed with further refinement. Additionally, these guidelines face challenges in understanding the complexity of TQ associated with different principles, philosophies and schools of thought. Nonetheless, these guidelines represent a necessary first step as primary resource to serve and guide health care professionals and consumers, as well as the TQ community.

Abstract

Objective To explore the correlation between metabolic syndrome (MS) and noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) in noise-exposed workers. Methods Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 850 male noise-exposed workers in an automobile manufacturing enterprise were studied. The questionnaire survey and occupational health examination were combined to collect general demographic data, physical examination data, and other information. According to the results of high-frequency hearing loss, the noise-exposed workers were divided into the hearing loss group (326 workers) and the normal hearing group (524 workers). The single-factor analysis was used to compare the above data differences between the two groups. The binary multiple-factor logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of NIHL in noise-exposed workers. Results The non-compliance rate of noise intensity in the enterprise was 39.47% (15/38), with the highest occurrences in the welding and painting posts. The morbidity of hearing loss was 38.35% (326/850), and the MS morbidity was 27.53% (234/850). The frequency of obesity, high-level triglyceride, high-level fasting blood glucose, hypertension, MS,and the contact noise level in the hearing loss group were higher than those in the normal hearing group (P < 0.05). The results of multiple-factor logistic regression showed that, compared with the workers with a noise exposure duration ≤ 5 years, the risk of NIHL in the workers with a noise exposure duration of 11 - 15 years or > 15 years increased to 1.553 and 1.727 times, respectively (P < 0.001). Compared with the workers without MS, the risk of NIHL in the workers with MS increased to 1.863 times (P < 0.001). The risk of NIHL increases by 1.567 times for each 1 dB(A) increase in noise level (P < 0.001). Conclusions There was a correlation between MS and NIHL. In addition to emphasizing control of noise level in the workplace, attention should also be paid to adopting a low-sugar, low-salt, and low-sodium diet, reducing the intake of saturated fatty acids, and strengthening physical exercise to effectively control the blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipid levels of workers so as to reduce the risk of NIHL.

35. A Simple Coil Design Scheme of Narrow-Magnet EMAT for Correction of Waveform Distortion

Author

Abstract

Electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) using a narrow magnet has higher excitation efficiency than the traditional solutions because it uses a larger area of coils spreading from the center area underneath the magnet to its edges. Meanwhile, due to the significant difference in the center-to-edge magnetic field direction below the magnet, narrow-magnet EMAT coils based on the classical half-wavelength conductor spacing rule face serious waveform distortions. To overcome this problem, a simple coil design scheme is proposed in this work, and the constant conductor spacing is carefully modified. Hence, the acoustic waves are efficiently excited with much less distortions than the classical designs. This new approach does not require additional coil turns, nor combinations of different conductor-spacing values among the coil tracks. According to the experimental analyses on aluminum plates, the Rayleigh waves excited by the proposed solution have an amplitude enhancement of 119.30% than the traditional ones; the frequency shift is decreased from 7.52% to 0.46%.

Acupuncture is gaining popularity as an alternative treatment to manage weight. This research aims to update and synthesize the evidence of acupuncture therapies from systematic reviews for treating overweight and obesity.Methods: Nine databases were searched from their inception to March 2022. Overweight or obesity was classified using standard diagnostic criteria. Published systematic reviews that included randomized controlled trials and quasi-randomized studies were eligible. Quality was assessed via the AMSTAR-2 scale and risk of bias using the ROBIS tool.Results: Thirty-eight systematic reviews were identified. Acupuncture therapies and auricular acupoint stimulation showed benefits in terms of reducing body weight and body mass index. Catgut embedding therapy and abdominal acupuncture are currently not in widespread use with insufficient evidence. Acupuncture therapies appear to be safe. Most of the reviews were assessed as having high risk of bias and low confidence in the findings.Conclusion: There is a need for larger and more methodologically sound randomized controlled trials to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture therapies for individuals who are affected by overweight or obesity.Keywords: acupuncture, overweight, obesity, systematic review
