Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy of the acupuncture technique of combined with speech rehabilitation training and speech rehabilitation training alone for post-stroke motor aphasia.
Methods: A total of 70 patients with post-stroke motor aphasia were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 35 cases in each group. The patients in the control group were treated with basic treatment and speech rehabilitation training; on the basis of the control group, the patients in the observation group were treated with the acupuncture technique of at Yamen (GV 15), Jinjin (EX-HN 12), Yuye (EX-HN 13), and Hegu (LI 4) etc., once a day, 6 days per week, for a total of 4 weeks. The speech function score, aphasia grade, daily life speech ability score of the two groups before and after treatment were observed, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated.
Results: The total effective rate was 94.3% (33/35) in the observation group, which was superior to 80.0% (28/35) in the control group (<0.05). In addition to listening comprehension, each score of speech function in the two groups was significantly increased after treatment (<0.05), and the increasing in the observation group was greater than that in the control group (<0.05). After treatment, the aphasia grade of the two groups were improved (<0.05), and the aphasia grade in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group (<0.05). After treatment, the scores of daily life speech ability in the two groups were significantly improved (<0.05), and the increasing in the observation group was greater than that in the control group (<0.05).
Conclusion: The acupuncture technique of combined with speech rehabilitation training could improve the speech function of patients with post-stroke motor aphasia, and its curative effect is superior to the speech rehabilitation training alone.

Exploring associations between the FTO rs9939609 genotype and plasma concentrations of appetite-related hormones in adults with obesity.

Associations between variants in the FTO locus and plasma concentrations of appetite related hormones are inconsistent, and might not work in a dose dependent fashion in people with obesity. Moreover, it is relevant to report meal related plasma concentrations of these hormones in persons with obesity given the growing interest in their pharmacological potential in obesity therapy. We find it clinically relevant to examine associations between the SNP rs9939609 genotypes and homeostatic appetite regulation in individuals with BMI ≥35 kg/m2.

Background: Motor imagery is the mental representation of a movement without physical execution. When motor imagery is performed to enhance motor learning and performance, participants must reach a temporal congruence between the imagined and actual movement execution. Identifying factors that can influence this capacity could enhance the effectiveness of motor imagery programs.

In our society, as well as in many other parts of the world, sexuality is shaped through gender-differentiated socialization. This process compels individuals to align their desires, behaviors, emotions, and thoughts with the expectations of normative sexuality, especially hegemonic heterosexuality. The primary objective of this current research was to examine the influence of hegemonic masculinity on the sexuality of men struggling with addiction.

Drug abuse can cause severe damage to the human speech organs. The vocal folds are one of the important speech organs that produce voice through vibration when airflow passes through. Previous studies have reported the negative effects of drugs on speech organs, including the vocal folds, but there is still limited research on relevant field.
