BACKGROUND: Side-step cutting is the most common offensive technique in the field of sports that greatly increases the risk of knee injury. However, the biomechanical performance strategies and the characteristics of lower limb joint load during the side-step cutting are not very clear. OBJECTIVE: To carry out the biomechanics test of the side-step cutting in lower limb movement strategy among college female basketball and football players, and to analyze the kinematics and dynamics parameters of the lower limbs, providing an important reference for athletes and trainers to prevent lower limb injuries, especially cruciate ligament injury. METHODS: Twelve female football and basketball players coming from a university were selected as the experimental subjects. The kinematics and dynamics parameters of the side-step cutting were acquired synchronously by using the three-dimensional dynamometer and the motion image shooting system. The relevant data were processed and analyzed by SPSS 21.0 software. The study protocol was approved by Tianjin University of Sports in China. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Football players had greater ankle metatarsal flexion angle and hip abduction angle, maximum ankle valgus angle, knee flexion and rotation angle with knee flexion and rotation angle changes. (2) Football players had greater peak ankle rotation and hip adduction moment, while basketball players had larger plantar flexion moment. (3) Basketball players have smaller first and second peak values of forward and backward partial braking force, the first peak value of vertical partial braking force and larger peak value of forward and backward partial pushing force. In the process of side-step cutting, football players are accustomed to stop in a sudden way with their forefeet touching, thus producing higher ground reaction force and increasing knee flexion angle to buffer, while having greater ankle valgus angle and knee rotation angle. Basketball players have smaller knee flexion angle in the process of side-step cutting. A smaller angle is not conducive to the lower limb joint to buffer the ground reaction force, and then increases the risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury.

OBJECTIVETo compare the differences in pain reaction, hemodynamics and clinical efficacy between extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) after injection with flurphen mixture (mixture of droperidol and fentanyl citrate) at Shenshu (BL 23) and simple ESWL in the patients.

METHODSSixty-four cases of urinary calculi with ESWL were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 32 cases in each one. In the observation group, 15 to 20 min before ESWL, flurphen mixture (droperidol injection 1.25 mg and fentanyl citrate injection 0.05 mg were diluted to 6 mL with 0.9% sodium chloride solution 4.5 mL) was injected at bilateral Shenshu (BL 23). In the control group, no any adjuvant therapy and medication were used before ESWL. The changes in blood pressure and heart rate, visual analogue scale (VAS) score, lithotripsy frequency till calculi complete removal and the rate of calculi complete removal after the first lithotripsy were observed in the two groups.

RESULTSIn the control group, blood pressure and heart rate were higher during lithotripsy than those before lithotripsy (both P<0.05). In the observation group, the differences in blood pressure and heart rate were not significant statistically as compared with those before lithotripsy (both P>0.05). The blood pressure and heart rate during lithotripsy in the observation group were apparently lower than those in the control group (both P<0.05). VAS scores during lithotripsy in the observation group were lower apparently than those in the control group (both P<0.05). The lithotripsy frequency in the observation group was less than that in the control group. The rate of calculi complete removal in 1 week after the first lithotripsy in the observation group was higher than that in the control group [75.0% (24/32) vs 50.0% (16/32), P<0.05].

CONCLUSIONThe flurphen mixture at Shenshu (BL 23) significantly alleviates pain reaction in patients undergoing ESWL, avoids the fluctuation of hemodynamics and improves the clinical effect of lithotripsy.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is an important part of modern medicine. Application of modern ana-lytical techniques to identify the authenticity of TCM and evaluate its quality is an important and critical content in the process of the modernization and internationalization of TCM. This paper described the development and charac-teristics of a 1H-NMR-based metabolomics technology, and reviewed its application in the species identification, quality evaluation of Daodi Y aocai (i.e., genuine medicinal materials), processing theory and the best harvest time of TCM. Besides, based on previous work, further discussion was given on technical methods and key question of the 1H-NMR metabolomics method. This paper provided a methodological reference for the species identification and quality evaluation of TCM and other herbal medicines.

Objective: To understand neglect and its associated factors among migrant middle school students in Tianjin, and to help them develop physically and mentally. Methods: A survey of 3 666 middle school students in 10 middle schools located in migrant gathering regions was conducted. Neglect and associated factors were collected and compared between migrant and non-migrant students. Results: The neglect rate of migrant middle school students in Tianjin was 45.79% and that of non-migrant students was 31.37%, the difference was statistically significant (χ2=56.25, P<0.01). The total neglect of middle school students who moved with them was (52.46±8.12) points; the neglect of boys, junior high schools, non-only children, fathers and mothers with high school education and below were significantly higher than those of girls, high schools, single children, and parents with high school education (t=3.73, 10.40, -11.36, 13.81, 15.57, P<0.01). The longer the follow-up period and the lower the family income, the higher the degree of neglect among the middle school students, and the difference was statistically significant (F=89.27, 53.48, P<0.01). Regression analysis showed that the following time (OR=3.55), whether the only child (OR=4.19) showed a positive correlation with the neglect of middle school students; family income (OR=0.71), parental education (OR=0.48, 0.25) were negatively correleted with neglect (P<0.05). Conclusion The neglect of middle school students in Tianjin is serious. The time of family migration, family income and parental education are important factors affecting neglect.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) healthcare culture presents a long history and has broad connotations.TCM healthcare culture in the new era receives increasing concerns due to its full-blown theoretical system as well as various healthcare models, which is integrated with modern science and technology and business model. This article focuses on the new opportunities and challenges to the development of Chinese medicine healthcare culture industry in the new era and based on its major features, comprehensively analyzes the innovation and development issues of TCM healthcare culture from multi-dimensions, including integration of international strategy, social needs and technology development, etc.

Jiegengtang is a basic formula for treating sore throat and cough. By means of bibliometrics， this study conducted a textual research and analysis on the key information such as formula origin， decocting methods， and clinical application of Jiegengtang. After the research， it can be seen that Jiegengtang is firstly contained in Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Disease， which is also known as Ganjietang， and it has been inherited and innovated by medical practitioners of various dynasties in later times. The origins of Chinese medicines in this formula is basically clear， Jiegeng is the dried roots of Platycodon grandiflorum， Gancao is the dried roots and rhizomes of Glycyrrhiza uralensis， the two medicines are selected raw products. The dosage is 27.60 g of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and 13.80 g of Platycodonis Radix， decocted with 600 mL of water to 200 mL， taken warmly after meals， twice a day， 100 mL for each time. In ancient times， Jiegengtang was mainly used for treating Shaoyin-heat invasion syndrome， with cough and sore throat as its core symptoms. In modern clinical practice， Jiegengtang is mainly used for respiratory diseases such as pharyngitis， esophagitis， tonsillitis and lung abscess， especially for pharyngitis and lung abscess with remarkable efficacy. This paper can provide literature reference basis for the modern clinical application and new drug development of Jiegengtang.
