Filter by:Vascular rehabilitation for arteriopathy of the lower limbs remains little known in France, despite its good results. There are very few rehabilitation centres, and they are overcrowded and expensive. Outpatient walking rehabilitation is under-used, despite recommendations (4). One of the difficulties is getting patients to adhere to the treatment sufficiently and for a long time. According to the Fédération Française de Musicothérapie (FFM), this is a care practice based on sound or musical mediation with the aim of supporting, accompanying or re-educating a patient. Music is used as a means of expression, communication, structuring and relational analysis.The benefits of music therapy for our bodies and our behavior are numerous, including improvements in cognitive functions (attention, memory), psychomotor functions (agility, mobility, coordination) and social-emotional functions (healthymind website 10/03/2021).
In recent years, high-frequency ultrasound, due to its higher resolution, can clearly display the superficial vascular structure and blood flow, and can detect vascular lesions early, providing a new non-invasive tool for clinical observation of the structure and blood flow of the extremity artery. The purpose of this multi-center study is to establish the normal value of high frequency ultrasound for the structure and blood flow of the extremity arteries of Chinese Han adults, and to explore the influencing factors, so as to provide a quantitative reference for the early diagnosis, degree evaluation and curative effect observation of the structure and blood flow of the extremities.
Skeletal muscle regenerates after injury, due to the satellite cells (SCs), the muscle stem cells that activate, proliferate, differentiate and fuse to form new myofibers. While SCs are indispensable for regeneration, there is increasing evidence for the need for an adequate cellular environment. Among the closest cellular partners of SCs are vascular cells. During muscle regeneration, endothelial cells (ECs) stimulate SC differentiation while SCs exhibit pro-angiogenic properties indicating a coupling between angiogenesis and myogenesis.The specific signaling cues controlling these relationships are still poorly characterized, specially in specific pathologic context such as limb ischemia. The investigators research aims to evaluate the role of chronic and acute lower limb ischemia on the SC status and interaction with ECs in human patients.
