Effects of traditional Chinese exercises on blood glucose and hemoglobin A1c levels in patients with prediabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Traditional Chinese exercises (TCEs) have a positive effect on glycemic control and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), but there is no consensus on the benefits of TCEs for patients with prediabetes.

Objective: The objective of this study was to systematically investigate the effects of TCEs on blood glucose control in patients with prediabetes.

Search Strategy: Comprehensive retrieval of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was carried out using PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, China Biology Medicine disc, Google Scholar and Baidu academic databases.

[Pathological changes of benign hyperplastic prostate after removal of innervation of cholinergic pelvic nerve: experiment with spontaneous hypertension rats].

Objective: To study the pathological change of benign hyperplastic prostate after removal of the innervation of cholinergic parasympathetic pelvic nerve.

Methods: Sixty-five male spontaneous hypertension rats (SHRs) were randomly assigned into 3 groups: operation group (n = 30) undergoing truncation of bilateral originating branches of parasympathetic pelvic nerve of major pelvic ganglion (MPG) followed by cystostomy, sham operation group (operation control group, n = 30) undergoing cystostomy, and normal control group (n = 5) not undergoing operation. 3, 7, 11, 15 and > or = 21 days after operation 6 rats from the 2 operation groups and 1 from the control group were sacrificed to observe the gross morphology and histological and cellular changes of the prostate glands.

[The pathological change of rats' benign hyperplastic prostate after radical denervation].

Objective: To study the pathological change of rats' benign hyperplastic prostate (BHP) after radical denervation.

Methods: A total of 65 male spontaneous hypertension rats (SHR) at 30 weeks age were randomly assigned into treatment group, sham surgery control group and normal control group. In surgery group, all the axonal branches of the major pelvic ganglion (MPG) supplying the bilateral prostate were truncated, followed performing of cystostomy; In sham surgery control group, only cystostomy was performed; In normal control group, no procedure was performed.
