Objective To make a survey of medication taken by Chinese athletes and a comparison between Chinese athletes and athletes from other countries in order to get information about how to improve Chinese athletes' performance. Method The information came from the forms"Doping Control Sample Collection" in which athletes answered the question: "What medications have you taken in the past 3 days?" The medicines taken by athletes were classified and statistically analyzed.Results 2,330 athletes and 25 kinds of sports were involved in. Medicines were statistically analyzed with 4 classes: profiling of declaration, vitamins and minerals, medicines for treatments, alternative medicine. Conclusion The survey recorded the types of supplements and medications taken by athletes in China in 1999. Chinese athletes took less vitamins and more alternative medicines than athletes from other countries.

Experimental, clinical and epidemiologic studies have provided strong evidence that physical training has beneficial effects on cardiovascular health. Numerous investigations have demonstrated that exercise increases coronary blood flow and myocardial perfusion. Importantly, training also can stimulate angiogenesis and accelerate collateral vessel growth in animal models with coronary artery occlusion. Cardiac adaptation such as increased vascularity or capillary density has been evidenced after regular endurance exercises. More recently, several studies indicate that physical training induces high levels of myocardial heat shock protein and antioxidant protein expression, which may play an important role in myocardial protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Objectives To explore the relationships between the current physical exercise behaviors and psychological factors of middle school students,so as to provide scientific evidence for improving health education and carrying out targeted health intervention measures.Methods The Multi-stage stratified sampling and cluster sampling method was adopted to choose 3600 students from 12 junior and senior middle schools in Hangzhou,Wuhan and Xi'an.The date was collected using the adolescent physical exercise behavior-psychological measurement scale(Chinese version).The structural equation model was built to explore the relationships between psychological factors(including the change of strategy,decision balance positive effect,decision balance negative effect and self-efficiency)and physical exercise.Results The change of strategy has biggest effect on physical exercise behaviors,with the standardized direct effect value of 0.344.The standardized direct effect value of decision balance negative effect,decision balance positive effect and self-efficiency were 0.071,0.093 and 0.169 respectively.The negative correlation among the four dimensions was significant statistically.Conclusion Psychological factors have direct effects on the change of the behaviors,and the change of the strategy has the largest impact on physical exercise behaviors of middle school students.The four psychological factors are closely correlated with one another,which is important in formulating middle school sports programs to promote the physical quality of middle school students.

Objective To modify anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)reconstruction to achieve better structure;to measure the tunnel's position and shape using three-dimensional computed tomography (CT)so as to show the change of the femoral bony tunnel.Methods Forty-five patients were diagnosed with an ACL tear and subsequently underwent the modified ACL reconstruction,using a minor-diameter drill to drill the femoral tunnel and then expand it to oval-shaped tunnel with the raspatory between July 2014 and 2015.All procedures were conducted by the same experienced surgeon (Ao Yf.).In all patients,CT was performed at one week after the ACL reconstruction to evaluate the femoral tunnel's positioning,then the CT-images were imported into the image processing software MIMICS to reconstruct the femoral bony tunnel to measure the tunnel's diameters of the section and the shape.The tunnel's position was evaluated using the quadrant method.Results In all the 45 patients,the graft could pass the tunnel.And no posterior tunnel wall blowout,neurological or vascular deficit was documented during the operation.According to the different methods of modification (6 to 7,6 to 8 and 7 to 8),the long diameters of the sections of the femoral bony tunnels were 8.34-± 0.52 mm,10.65 ± 0.72mm,9.27-± 0.11 mm,without significant difference from the theoretical value (8.16 mm,10.66 mm and 9.14 mm).However,the short diameters of the sections were 6.57--0.12 mm,6.74-± 0.13 mm,and 7.52 ± 0.05 mm,showing significant difference from the theoretical value (6mm,6mm and 7 mm).The average centre of the femoral tunnel was located at 26.4 ± 4.8％ of the femoral length and at 30.1 ± 5.6％ of the femoral height.Conclusion In this modified ACL reconstruction,a minor-diameter drill is used to drill the femoral tunnel and then expand it to oval-shaped tunnel with the raspatory,The graft was matched well with the bony tunnel intraoperatively.The three-dimensional CT shows that the femoral tunnels are well located within the anatomical ACL footprint,and its entrance is closer to the natural state.

Objective To evaluate the early clinical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament(ACL)reconstruction combined with anterolateral tenodesis procedure in patient with high grade pivot-shift after ACL injuries.Methods Among the 140 patients diagnosed as ACL injury and undergoing operations in our hospital between June and December 2015,18 presenting high grade pivot-shift 2+ or 3+ under anesthesia were included into this study.During their surgeries,the anterolateral tenodesis procedure using iliotibial tract ITB was applied together with ACL reconstruction.The anteroposterior stability of the knee was examined and pivot-shift test was conducted right after the operation as well as 6 and 12 months after that.The Lysholm score was used to evaluate the clinical function of their knees.Results The mean follow-up period of the 18 patients was 12.7 ± 2.4 months.There were 14 males and 4 females,with an average of 28.3 ± 7.1 years.No patients complained about unstable symptoms during the follow-up.The mean side-to-side difference of anteroposterior knee laxity assessed using KT1000 at 30 degree knee flexion was 2.3 ± 0.7 mm,which was significantly improved compared with preoperative assessment(9.2 ± 2.6 mm)(P＜0.01).For the preoperative examination,the pivot-shift examination indicated 2+ in 13 patients and 3+ in 5 patients.However,all were negative right after the operation.Seventeen patients presented negative pivot-shift at the final follow-up,while 1 had 1+ rotational laxity.Significant differences were found in the Pivot-shift test before and after the operation.The average Lysholm score improved significantly from 67.7 ± 5.9(ranging from 55 to 78)before the operation to 89.0-± 4.6(ranging from 75 to 95)after that.Conclusion The high grade pivot-shift rotational instability could be effectively restored using the anterolateral tenodesis procedure,in addition to ACL reconstruction.The early stage clinical outcomes indicate significant improvement of the knee stability postoperatively.

Objective To compare the expression of myocardial connexin 43(Cx43)mRNA and its protein during early and late cardioprotection stages of exercise preconditioning.Methods Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control group,an exhaustive exercise(EE)group,an early exercise preconditioning + exhaustive exercise(EEP+EE)group and a late exercise preconditioning + exhaustive exercise (LEP+EE) group,each of 8.All groups were given intervention as their group name indicated.Then in situ hybridization and real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR methods were used to detect the changes of myocardial Cx43mRNA and immunohistochemical method and Western blotting were used to detect the changes of Cx43 protein.Results Compared with EE group,there was significant increase in Cx43 mRNA and its protein expression in group EEP+EE and LEP+EE.Compared with EEP+EE group,no significant changes was found in situ hybridization and Cx43 Immunoreactivity in LEP+EE group,neither did significant differences in the expression of Cx43 mRNA and its protein.Conclusion EEP and LEP can significantly promote the expression of myocardial Cx43 mRNA and its protein respectively.However there is no significant changes of myocardial Cx43 mRNA and protein expression between the 2 time phases.It demonstrates that the expression of Cx43 in the early and late stage of myocardial protective effect was consistent with the changes of the early and late phase of the protective effect of EP.

Objective To examine the effects of exercise intensity and duration on the structure,function and fibrosis of the left and right ventricular,and to discuss the potential mechanism in these processes.Methods Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a sedentary(Sed)group,a moderate exercise(ME)group and an intensive exercise(IE) group,each of 16.Rats in Sed group were not given any training,while those in ME group and IE group run on treadmill at the speed of 15.2 m/min with the slope gradient of 5° and 28 m/min with the slope gradient of 10 degree 1 hour per day,5 days per week.Eight and 16 weeks after the training,we recorded the body weight and measure end-diastolic diameter,end-diastolic wall thickness,and ejection fraction of both ventriculars using the ultrasonic testing.All rats were then sacrificed after blood sampling.Elisa was used to measure serum cTnI concentration,and sirius red staining was applied to evaluate collagen volume fraction of both ventriculars.Results Eight or sixteen weeks after the training,the average bi-ventricular end-diastolic diameter of ME and IE rats was bigger than Sed group.There were no differences in end-diastolic diameter of both ventricular between ME group and IE group after sixteen-week training,but the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter of IE group was greater than ME group.As exercise intensive increased and time accumulated,the end-diastolic wall thickness of both ventriculars increased but without statistical significance.At sixteen-week intervention,the bi-ventricular ejection fraction of IE rats was significantly lower than Sed and ME groups,while there was a decreasing trend eight weeks earlier without significant differences.After 8 or 16 weeks of training,the serum cTnI was significantly higher in IE rats than Sed group or ME group,but there was no significant differences between ME group and Sed group.After 16 weeks' exercises,the average bi-ventricular collagen volume fraction of ME or IE group was greater than that after 8 weeks' exercises.The average collagen volume fraction of the right ventricular was greater than Sed group at the same time points,and after sixteenweek training the right ventricular collagen volume fraction in IE group was significantly greater than ME group.However,there were no significant differences in the measurement of the left side among different groups.The serum cTnI was negatively correlated with the left and right ventricular systolic function(r=-0.327,P=0.029 and r=-0.582,P=0.000).Moreover,it was positively correlated with the right ventricular collagen volume fraction moderately,but had no correlation with the left ventricular collagen volume fraction.Conclusion(1)Sixteen-week moderate and intensive exercise result in left ventricular dilation,and the dilation increases with the increase of the exercise intensity.Only 8 weeks' exercise at the same intensity can lead to right ventricular dilation,but exercise intensity has little influence on the right ventricular dilation.(2)Long-term moderate or intensive endurance exercises may cause bi-ventricular hypertrophy potentially.The left ventricular hypertrophy and dilation may not be synchronous with hypertrophy followed by dilation,while the right ventricular hypertrophy and dilation is synchronous.(3)The temporary decrease in bi-ventricular systolic function after intensive endurance exercise may be caused by ventricular injury,with more serious injury in the right ventricular than in the left.Moderate exercises don't cause ventricular injury,thus there is little or no influence on ejection fraction.(4) Long-term (8 or 16 weeks)moderate or intensive endurance exercises can increase the right ventricular collagen volume fraction,which may indicate cardiac fibrosis following right ventricular injury but not in the left ventricular.The bi-ventricular collagen volume fraction at sixteenth week in ME and IE rats are greater than corresponding rats at eighth week.It may result from the hypertrophy of bi-ventricular cardiomyocyte after 8-week training,followed by increase in the extracellular matrix but not cardiac fibrosis.

Objective To compare the outcomes of arthroscopic single-row and suture-bridge repair of medium-sized rotator cuff tears through clinical and MRI assessment.Methods Forty-five patients with medium-sized rotator cuff tears who underwent arthroscopic repair using single-row (SR,n=29) or suture-bridge (SB,n=26) technique between July 2014 to June 2015 in our hospital,were retrospectively enrolled in this study.All surgeries were performed by the same senior doctor.The functional outcomes were assessed using the rating scale of the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA),American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons shoulder index (ASES),Fudan University Shoulder Score (FUSS),visual analog pain scale score (VAS),and range of motion (ROM) before the operation and at the last follow-up.MRI examination was performed at the final follow-up.Results Finally 50 patients were followed up successfully,24 in SB group and 26 in SR group.There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of age,sex,follow-up duration,and the affected side.Before the operation,no significant differences were observed between the 2 groups in all the measurements.After more than 1-year follow-up,significant improvement was found in all measurements for both groups,but without significant differences between them.MRI examination showed no re-tears in either group.According to the Sugaya's classification,there were more type Ⅰ patients in SB group than SR group (83.3％ vs 61.5％),but the difference was not significant.Conclusion Arthroscopic suture-bridge repairing of medium-sized rotator cuff tears results in safe and good early clinical outcomes.However,compared with the single-row technique,there was no significant advantage.Although the MRI examination showed a better result of rotator cuff healing in the early stage,its long-term outcomes need further studying.

Objective To explore the emotional and cardiorespiratory changes at different stages during a single bout of exercise.Methods Sixty participants were recruited to complete 30 minutes' moderate exercise at a fixed running speed (the speeds were set based on the former self-controled speed test).Self-rated emotional experience was recorded 5 minutes before the exercise intervention,30 minutes after the intervention onset and 10 minutes after the intervention.Meanwhile,participants' physiological indices were monitored throughout the whole process.The data were grouped every five minutes and the data of six groups (t1,t2,t3,t4,t5 and t6)during exercise intervention were analyzed.The reliability of the results was subsequently checked via interview.Results The results showed that during t1 participants' happiness and tidal volume (TV)reached their maximum,but the respiratory frequency (RF) and respiratory quotient (RQ)reached their minimum.During t2 to t5,participants felt the most positive and RF was cooperating with TV appropriately.During t6,the feeling of fatigue hit the highest level;RF and Heart Rate (RT)reached its maximum,but the ratio of VO2/HR reached its minimum.Conclusion During a single bout of exercise,people feel the happiest in the first five minutes with mainly deep breathing.In the subsequent twenty minutes,exercisers experience positive emotion with highest breath efficiency.During the last five minutes,fatigue,as well as low efficient pulmonary respiration and pump function appeared.

Objective To observe the effect of 8-week climbing ladder exercise with load on the expression of proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC1α)/ fibronectin type Ⅲ domain containing 5 (FNDC5)/ myostatin (MSTN)in soleus and extensor digitorum longus muscle and the serum concentration of irisin in Sprague-Dawley (SD)rats.Methods Twenty SD rats were randomly divided into a control (Con,n=10)group and a climbing ladder (Lad,n=10)group.The Lad group took an 8-week and once-every-3-day program of resistance exercise using an improved model of climbing ladder with load.Then the soleus and extensor digitorum longus muscles were isolated at 48 h after exercise.The PGC1α/FNDC5/MSTN mRNA and protein expression in the skeleton muscle were detected using quantitative PCR and Western blotting respectively.The serum concentration of irisin was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results Compared with Con group,the expression of PGC1α in the soleus muscle reduced significantly (P＜0.05),that of FNDC5 reduced but without significance and that of MSTN increased significantly (P＜0.05)in Lad group.However,the expression of PGC1α in the extensor digitorum longus muscle increased significantly (P＜0.05),that of FNDC5 increased but without significance and that of MSTN decreased significantly (P＜0.05)in Lad group compared with Con group.There were no significant differences in the serum concentration of irisin between the two groups.Conclusion Eight-week climbing ladder exercise with load on rats induces differential expression of PGC1α/FNDC5/MSTN in soleus and extensor digitorum longus muscle,but doesn't influence the serum concentration of irisin.It is suggested that there may be a complex mechanism of balancing and antagonism in the body after long-term resistance exercises.
