Chinese Acupuncture & Moxibustion 2010;30(10):835-839
The physiological and pathological phenomenon along the running courses of meridians such as enrichment of small charged molecular, low-resistance, isotope migration, electromyography phenomenon, acoustical conductivity, thermal radiation, magnetic phenomenon and optical-electrical characteristics, etc. are explored in this article. And based on the above mentioned studies, it is concluded that as a physiological sensation along meridians, propagated sensation could only be the result of the reflection of nerve excitation. The direct stimulator of the neural electrical activities of the propagated sensation is the enrichment of charged small biological molecular at the corresponding site of the organism. The root cause of the enrichment is the unique electrophysiological mechanism and distribution discipline of the human nerve fiber, which formed an electric field of biological source for the concentration of the small molecular. Thus, it is concluded that the electric field along the running courses of meridians is an isopotential balanced line formed by multiple neural bioelectrical activities in different spaces closed to meridians.

3.Influences on Sports Biomechanics of Lower Extremities During Running on Different Surfaces
Journal of Medical Biomechanics 2018;33(6):E577-E582
Risk factors for running injuries can be clustered into intrinsic factors and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic factors include human anatomy, history of previous injuries, sports biomechanics and human neuromuscular control, etc. Extrinsic factors include training method , running shoes and running surfaces, etc. Running surface is considered as one of the most potential risk factors for running injuries. This review summarized the findings on kinematics, kinetics, neuromuscular control and running injuries of lower extremity during running on different surfaces. In general, neuromuscular adjustment may contribute to kinematic adaption during running on different surfaces, and runners can adapt their kinetics and stiffness of lower extremity to achieve similar impact force. However, studies on biomechanical changes during running on different surfaces mainly focus on only one aspect of kinematics, kinetics and neuromuscular regulation. Further studies should focus on three-dimensional biomechanical analysis during running on different surfaces, as well as specific mechanisms of neuromuscular regulation for these biomechanical adjustments.

Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2019;39(4):436-439
Imaging techniques play a vital role in evaluating myocardial damage in patients with myocardial infarction. Accurate evaluations of postinfarction function and scar can help identify high-risk patients and provide prognosis information, which contributes much to clinical practice. The assessment of myocardial damage mainly includes overall evaluations of ventricular function and remodeling and targeted characterization of myocardial infarction including infarct size, myocardial viability and microvascular obstruction. Echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance, CT and nuclear examinations are most common imaging techniques currently. This review is to update evidence on applications of these modalities in evaluation of postinfarction myocardial damage and offer some helps to health workers.
5. Mechanism of Bushen huoxue huatan recipe improving hyperandrogenism in androgen-induced sterile rats
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2013;34(5):498-501
Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of Bushen huoxue huatan recipe (BHHR) on androgen-induced sterilized rats (ASR) and the expression of androgen synthase and metabolic enzymes in the ovary of ASR before and after treatment with BHHR, and to discuss the possible mechanism. Methods Female SD rats of 9-day old were injected subcutaneously with testosterone propionate (1. 25 mg) to create model. The model ratswere randomly divided into 3 groups: model group (treated with distilled water by gastrogavage, 10 mL/kg)' metformin therapy group (gastrogavage, 0. 1 g/kg) and BHHR therapy group (gastrogavage, 10 mL/kg)' with 13 animals in each group. Ten rats with normal estrous cycle served as normal controls. The body mass' sexual cycle recovery and ovary mass/body mass ratio were observed after 28-day treatment. Serum testosterone level was measured by radioimmunoassay; the expressions of 3(-hydroxylsteroid dehyrogenase (3β-HSD) cytochrome P450 17α-crhydroxylase/17, 20-lyase (CYP17) and P450 aromatase (P450arom) in ovary were detected by quantitative immunohistochemistry method. Results (1) Significantly more rats in the metformin and BHHR groups had sexual cycle recovery compared with that in themodtl group (P< 0. 01). (2) The body mass of rats in the model group was significantly heavier than that in the normal control group (P< 0. 01), and those of the BHHR and metformin groups were significantly lighter than that of ASR model group (P< 0. 01). (3) Ovary mass/body mass ratio of the model rats was significantly higher than those of the other three groups (P< 0. 01).(4) Serum testosterone level in the model group was significantly higher than those in the other three groups (P < 0. 01). (5) Compared with the model group and the normal group, the P450arom expression in the BHHR group was significantly increased (P≤0. 01), while no significant difference was found in 3β-HSD and CYP17 expression between the BHHR group and the model group (P > 0. 05). Conclusion BHHR can reduce serum testosterone levels in ASR rat, which might be through up-regulating the expression of the androgen metabolism enzyme P450arom.

The chemical characterization analysis of a medical device often results in chemical substances with unknown toxicities. While identification of each individual toxicity could result in a time-consuming hurdle with tremendous labor and financial burden, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) is of great significance for toxicity risk assessment of such chemical substances. By establishing quantitative relationship between the molecular structures or active groups of similar chemical compounds with their biological activities, QSAR can be utilized to predict the toxicity of such target compounds with significantly reduced cost and time. In this article, the authors generally summarized the mechanisms of QSAR approaches, current applications of QSAR modeling in the field of medical device, an introduction of the characteristics of publicly and commercially-available QSAR software, and briefly explored future trends of QSAR modeling in medical device toxicological risk assessment. The utilization of QSAR would undoubtedly further advance the toxicological risk assessment of medical devices.

ObjectiveTo identify high-risk factors and high-risk process of nosocomial infection, and then take targeted prevention and control measures to improve nosocomial infection management. MethodsWe identified and determined the risk factors associated with nosocomial infection by using an expert brainstorming method, and then conducted risk assessment of the factors in the outcomes and process by using a semi-quantitative method. ResultsA total of 31 experts participated in the risk factor assessment. Risk assessment scores showed that nosocomial infection due to multi-drug resistant bacteria was the highest risk in the outcomes of nosocomial infection. Lack of isolation for airborne/droplet transmission, needle/sharp instrument injury, inadequate identification of infection risk and response measures in construction engineering, and insufficient implementation of infection control system were extremely high risk factors in the process of nosocomial infection. ConclusionPrevention and control should be strengthened on multi-drug resistant bacteria and catheter-related infections. The role of multidisciplinary team (MDT) in the prevention and control of nosocomial infection should be enhanced in medical practice. Risk assessment may facilitate the resource allocation and improve hand hygiene behavior.
