Objective To explore the relationship between muscle fatigue and pain in lumbar muscle fatigue induced test. Methods From July to October, 21 healthy female volunteers were subjected to the fatigue induced test. Their root mean square (RMS) and median frequency (MF) of the surface electromyography were collected, their fatigue were assessed with Borg Fatigue Scale and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and their maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) and pressure pain threshold (PPT) were measured, before, during and after ex-periment. They were divided into pain or no-pain groups according to the symptom, and the differences before and after test were compared. Results There was significant difference in the scores of Borg Fatigue Scale and VAS, MVC, RMS, and MF after test (Z>6.064, P<0.001). There was significant difference between two groups in all the data before test, and there was significant difference between two groups in the difference before and after test of the VAS score (t=-4.112, P=0.001) and RMS (t>2.385, P<0.05) in some points. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the optimal cut-off point of VAS score difference was 3.45 in predicting the pain onset, with sensi-tivity of 100%and specificity of 81.8%. Conclusion For the fatigue induced test, the fatigue VAS score difference may predict the induced pain, and RMS difference associate with the occurrence of pain. No significant is observed of the Borg Fatigue Scale and PPT.

Objective To study the regulating mechanisms of cobaltous chloride (CoCl2)induced hypoxia on muscle atrophy.Methods The mouse skeletal C2C12 myotube line was used as the cell model and divided into a control group,a CoCl2 group,a 3-Methyladenine(3MA)group and a CoCl2+3MA group.The control group was not given any treatment,the CoCl2 group was treated with 200 μM CoCl2 to induce hypoxia,and the 3MA group or CoCl2+3MA group was treated with 5 mM 3MA in the absence or presence of 200 μM CoCl2.The Giemsa stain was conducted to observe the morphology of myotubes.The multifunctional microplate reader was utilized to quantify the reactive oxygen species (ROS)expression.The autophagosome was observed by using the transmission electron microscopy.The mRNA and protein expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α),Bcl2/adenovirus E1B19kDa interacting protein 3(BNIP3),microtubule associated protein1 light chain 3(LC3)were detected using the quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (QRT-PCR)and Western blotting (WB).Moreover,3-Methyladenine(3MA)was used to suppress autophagy and the expression of muscle atrophy F-box(MAF-bx)was detected.Results More spindly ring-shaped myotubes were formed in the control group,while CoCl2 induced myotubes atrophy and rupture.The expression of ROS increased significantly in the CoCl2 group compared with the control group(t=-4.965,P=0.008).Transmission electron microscopy results showed autophagosome formation induced by CoCl2,and significant improvement in the HIF-1α,BNIP3 and LC3 in the CoCl2 group compared with the control group(P<0.05).The protein expression of MAFbx decreased when co-cultured with CoCl2 and 3MA(F=18.246,P=0.001).Conclusions The skeletal muscle atrophy caused by CoCl2 induced hypoxia may be associated with autophagy promoted by the HIF-1α/BNIP3 signal pathway,and inhibition of hypoxia induced autophagy can partly reduce the atrophy in skeletal C2C12 myotubes.

【Objective】 To construct and validate a risk prediction model for cognitive impairment after stroke based on demographic, clinical, and neuroimaging characteristics. 【Methods】 Through the medical record system, we collected all data of the patients. We finished cognitive function testing three months after the indexed stroke. The Mini-Mental State Examination Scale score≤26 was defined as cognitive dysfunction. Optimal subset regression analysis was used to screen variables, Logistic regression analysis was used to construct a predictive model for cognitive impairment, and C-index, calibration chart and clinical decision curve analyses were used to evaluate the discrimination, consistency, and clinical availability of the model. And nomograms were used to express the performance of the model. 【Results】 Seven variables were selected: cognitive function before stroke, age, years of education, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score at admission, history of ischemic heart disease, the number of old lacunar infarct lesions, and medial temporal lobe atrophy scale. The prediction model had a C-index of 0.845 (95% CI: 0.805-0.885). The clinical decision curve showed that the model had a positive net benefit when the threshold probability was 9.0%-90.0%. 【Conclusion】 The predictive model of cognitive impairment in stroke patients has good predictive efficiency and provides an effective assessment tool for screening high-risk cases of cognitive impairment in patients with stroke of various subtypes.
