Individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) develop premature cardiovascular disease. Regular exercise reduces the incidence and symptoms of cardiovascular disease in able-bodied individuals; these salutary effects of exercise have not been documented in persons with SCI.
To evaluate the effects of functional electrical stimulation leg cycle ergometry (FES-LCE) exercise training on platelet aggregation and blood coagulation in persons with SCI.
Subjects (n=14) with stable chronic (>1 year) paraplegia (T1-T10) or tetraplegia (C4-C8).
Blood samples were collected before and after the first and eighth sessions (2 sessions per week for 4 weeks) of FES exercise.
Platelet aggregation was inhibited by 20% after the first session and by 40% (P < 0.001) after the eighth session. Thrombin activity was unchanged after the first session (10.7 +/- 0.85 s to 10.43 +/- 0.56 s) and decreased after the eighth session (12.5 +/- 1.98 s to 11.1 +/- 1.7 s; P < 0.0003). Antithrombin III activity increased after the first (103.8% +/- 8.9% to 110% +/- 6.9%; P < 0.0008) and eighth sessions (107.8% +/- 12.1% to 120.4% +/- 13.1%; P < 0.0001). Cyclic adenosine monophosphate increased after the first (9.9% + 2.5% to 15.8% +/- 3%; P < 0.001) and eighth sessions (17.8% +/- 4.2% to 36.5% +/- 7.6%; P < 0.0001). After the eighth session, factors V and X increased significantly (88% +/- 27% to 103% +/- 23%, P < 0.0001; 100% +/- 40% to 105% +/- 7%, P < 0.01, respectively); factors VII and VIII and fibrinogen did not change significantly. A significant reduction in platelet activation/aggregation was demonstrated in response to FES-LCE. The decrease in thrombin level was caused by the simultaneous increase in antithrombin activity.
These findings provide new insight into the potential protective effects of FES-LCE against the risk of cardiovascular disease.
脊髓损伤(SCI)患者会过早患上心血管疾病。规律运动可降低健康个体心血管疾病的发病率和症状;但这些运动的有益效果在脊髓损伤患者中尚未得到证实。
评估功能性电刺激腿部循环测力计(FES-LCE)运动训练对脊髓损伤患者血小板聚集和血液凝固的影响。
患有稳定慢性(>1年)截瘫(T1-T10)或四肢瘫(C4-C8)的受试者(n=14)。
在FES运动的第一和第八次训练前及训练后(每周2次,共4周)采集血样。
第一次训练后血小板聚集受到20%的抑制,第八次训练后受到40%的抑制(P<0.001)。第一次训练后凝血酶活性未改变(从10.7±0.85秒变为10.43±0.56秒),而第八次训练后降低(从12.5±1.98秒变为11.1±1.7秒;P<0.0003)。抗凝血酶III活性在第一次(从103.8%±8.9%变为110%±6.9%;P<0.0008)和第八次训练后增加(从107.8%±12.1%变为120.4%±13.1%;P<0.0001)。环磷酸腺苷在第一次(从9.9%+2.5%变为15.8%±3%;P<0.001)和第八次训练后增加(从17.8%±4.2%变为36.5%±7.6%;P<0.0001)。第八次训练后,因子V和X显著增加(分别从88%±27%变为103%±23%,P<0.0001;从100%±40%变为105%±7%,P<0.01);因子VII、VIII和纤维蛋白原无显著变化。FES-LCE可显著降低血小板活化/聚集。凝血酶水平的降低是由抗凝血酶活性的同时增加引起的。
这些发现为FES-LCE对心血管疾病风险的潜在保护作用提供了新的见解。
