Objective To observe the effect of aerobic exercise of different intensities on type Ⅱ collagen,glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and chondrocyte apoptosis in rabbits modeling knee osteoarthritis (OA),so as to explore the preventive effect and its possible mechanism.Methods Twenty healthy New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into Groups A,B,C and D,each of 5.Group A was allowed free activity in a cage for 9 weeks.Group B was allowed free activity for 4 weeks,then an OA model was established using papain and confirmed via MRI 1 week later,Another 4 weeks of free activity were then allowed.Groups C and group D were given running training for 20 minutes a day at 0.5 km/h,3 times a week,and then 20 minutes a day at 1.5 km/h,5 days a week on a treadmill for 4 weeks.Nine weeks later,all 4 groups of rabbits were killed and the articular cartilage damage of each group was compared using Mankin scoring,and expression of type Ⅱ collagen,GAG content and chondrocyte apoptosis in the cartilage.Results After the intervention,the average Mankin score,expression of type Ⅱ collagen and GAG content of groups B,C and D were significantly lower than those of group A,and all of those values in group B were significantly lower than those of group D.After 9 weeks the chondrocyte apoptosis rate of group A was significantly lower than that of the other groups,and that of groups C and D was significantly lower than that of group B.Conclusion Aerobic exercise may prevent knee articular cartilage degeneration through inhibiting reduction in the amount of type Ⅱ collagen and GAG in the cartilage matrix.It may be related to decreasing the chondrocyte apoptosis.

Objective:To clarify the M protein ( emm gene) types and drug susceptibility characteristic variations of Group A Streptococcus (GAS) in children in Beijing. Methods:The GAS strains isolated from throat swab samples of children diagnosed with scarlet fever and pharyngeal infection in scarlet fever etiology surveillance sentinel hospitals in 16 districts of Beijing in 2018, 2019 and 2021 were analyzed retrospectively.PCR amplification and sequencing were used for emm genotyping, and the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 10 antibiotics were determined by the broth microdilution method.The data were analyzed using χ2 test and Fisher′ s exact method between groups. Results:A total of 557 GAS strains were collected, and 11 emm genotypes ( emm1, emm3, emm4, emm6, emm11, emm12, emm22, emm75, emm89, emm128, and emm212) were detected.Of 557 strains, 238 trains were of emm1 type (42.73%), 271 strains were of emm12 type (48.65%) and 48 strains were of other emm types (8.62%). The detection rates of emm1, emm12 and other emm type genes in 2018, 2019, and 2021 were [37.50% (105/280 strains), 57.14% (160/280 strains), 5.36% (15/280 strains)], [49.05% (129/263 strains), 39.54% (104/263 strains), 11.41% (30/263 strains)], and [28.57% (4/14 strains), 50.00% (7/14 strains), 21.43% (3/14 strains)], respectively.In children infected with emm12 in 2018 and 2019, there were more children under 6 years old than children over 6 years old (62.50% vs.46.88%, 46.36% vs.30.36%) (χ 2=7.182, 6.973; all P<0.05). Drug susceptibility testing results suggested that 225 randomly selected GAS strains were all 100.00% sensitive to 7 antibiotics including Penicillin, Levofloxacin, Meropenem, Linezolid, Cefotaxime, Cefepime and Vancomycin.The rates of resistance to Erythromycin, Tetracycline and Clindamycin were [88.57% (93/105 strains), 87.62% (92/105 strains), 86.67% (91/105 strains)], and [94.34% (100/106 strains), 94.34% (100/106 strains), 87.74% (93/106 strains)] in 2018 and 2019, respectively.The test strains were 100.00% (14/14 strains) resistant to the above 3 antibiotics in 2021.MIC 50 and MIC 90 values of Penicillin in 2018, 2019, and 2021 were (0.03 mg/L, 0.03 mg/L), (0.03 mg/L, 0.06 mg/L), and (0.06 mg/L, 0.06 mg/L), respectively.Among 225 GAS strains, 207 strains had drug resistance and were resistant to more than one drug.Specifically, 94.69% (196/207 strains) were resistant to Erythromycin, Tetracycline and Clindamycin.About 4.35% (9/207 strains) were resistant to both Erythromycin and Clindamycin.A total of 0.97% (2/207 strains) were resistant to Erythromycin and Tetracycline. Conclusions:The emm genotypes of GAS in children in Beijing are diverse in 2018, 2019 and 2021.The dominant genotypes are emm12 and emm1, and emm12 is the main epidemiological type.GAS strains maintain highly resistant to Erythromycin, Clindamycin and Tetracycline, and sensitive to Penicillin and other antibiotics.However, MIC 50 and MIC 90 of Penicillin shows an ascending trend.
