Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the differences in biomechanical function and energy absorption of the lower extremity in the sagittal plane when single leg drop landing between groups with flat foot and normal foot. Methods: Twenty-eight healthy men in their 20s were classified into 13 with flat foot and 15 with normal foot through evaluation of navicular drop test. Using a motion analysis system, loading rate (N/sec), peak vertical ground reaction force (N/body weight [BW]), sagittal plane hip, knee, and ankle joint range of motion (°), peak moment (Nm/BW), peak joint power (W/BW) and peak joint work (J/BW) were calculated and analyzed during single leg drop landing. Results: During single leg drop landing, the flat foot and normal foot groups showed no significant differences in loading rate, peak vertical ground reaction force, hip and knee joint range of motion, peak knee and ankle joint moment, peak joint power, and peak joint work (p＞ 0.05). However, the flat foot group showed greater ankle range of motion and peak hip joint flexion moment compared to the normal foot group (p=0.040 and p=0.018, respectively). Conclusion The flat foot group shows sagittal plane landing mechanics that are different from the normal foot group during single leg drop landing and appears to try to distribute shock by relying on the distal joint compared to the normal foot group.

Primer Express 2.0 software was used to design the primers and the MGB probe. With the plasmid pHaMDR1/A containing mdr1 cDNA as the template, we established a real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction system, which, at the template concentration of 3.061 x 10(3) to 3.061 x 10(9) cps/ml, had a correlation coefficient of 0.988243 between template concentration and threshold cycle value. This PCR method allows sensitive, specific and quantitative detection of human mdr1 gene.

Ischemic brain injury is a major disease which threatens human health and safety. (3, 5, 6-trimethylpyrazin-2-yl) methyl 3-methoxy-4-[(3, 5, 6-trimethylpyrazin-2-yl) methoxy] benzoate (VA-T), a newly discovered lead compound, is effective for the treatment of ischemic brain injury and its sequelae. But the poor solubility of VA-T leads to poor dissolution and limited clinical application. In order to improve the dissolution of VA-T, the pharmaceutical technology of solid dispersions was used in the present study. VA-T/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) solid dispersion was prepared by the solvent method. The dissolution studies were carried out and solid state characterization was evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), infrared spectroscopy (IR), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The dissolution rate of VA-T was significantly improved by solid dispersion compared to that of the pure drug and physical mixture. The results of DSC and XRD indicated that the VA-T solid dispersion was amorphous. The IR spectra showed the possible interaction between VA-T and PVP was the formulation of hydrogen bonding. The SEM analysis demonstrated that there was no VA-T crystal observed in the solid dispersions. The ideal drug-to-PVP ratio was 1:5. In conclusion, the solid dispersion technique can be successfully used for the improvement of the dissolution profile of VA-T.
