Under the background of technological assistance to prepare for the Beijing Winter Olympics in China, the biomechanical research highlights and the latest achievements related to competitive performance of alpine skiers in recent years were systematically analyzed in this paper, so as to determine biomechanical factors affecting competitive performance of alpine skiers, including aerodynamic drag, frictional forces, ground reaction force (GRF), energy dissipation, turn radius, trajectory of the skis and/or center of mass (COM). In addition, biomechanical differences in turn techniques, multiple turns connections and abilities of individuals were also considered as important factors affecting the alpine skiing performance. In the case of slalom and giant slalom events, the earlier initiation of turns, longer path length and trajectory, earlier and smoother application of GRF, and carbene technique carving to reduce the ski-snow friction and thereby dissipate energy should be used to improve sports performance. During speed skiing, minimizing the exposed frontal area and positioning the arms close to the body can reduce the energy loss caused by aerodynamic drag, thereby improving sports performance. Top-level alpine skiers will always perform well on different courses, terrains and snow conditions during the race. Excellent alpine ski performance from a biomechanical perspective includes the efficient use of potential energy, minimizing ski-snow friction and aerodynamic drag, choosing optimal trajectory and maintaining high-speed skiing. Individual tactics and techniques should be valued in training and competition. For better results, the same performance on multiple sections and on different terrains is more important than excellence in individual sections and specific conditions.

The clinical data and gene variant characteristics of a patient with glutathione synthetase (GSS) deficiency were summarized. The child was born 15 min prematurely as a male infant with postnatal respiratory distress, metabolic acidosis, severe anemia, hemolysis, hyperbilirubinemia, and motor developmental backwardness. Blood and urine genetic metabolic screening showed a blood glutamate value of 1 343.1 μmol/L and a urine 5-oxoproline value of 1 873.7 nmol/mg creatinine. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging showed nonspecific subarachnoid widening. Whole-exon gene sequencing of the family line suggested that the GSS gene of the preexisting patient originated from paternal and maternal variants, respectively: c.632_633del (p.Gln211Argfs *8), and c.491G>A (p.Arg164Gln). Complex heterozygous variants of the GSS gene were the genetic etiology of the present case.

Objective To establish the three-dimensional (3D) statistical shape model (SSM) of the foot, so as to reveal the 3D foot shape variations. Methods Foot data from 50 normal Chinese young males were used for 3D statistical shape modelling. Steps, including mesh registration of foot surface, axis alignment and principal component (PC) analysis (dimension reduction), were performed to obtain the parameterized foot shape (mean shape and standard deviation of PC). Results Through the principal component analysis (PCA), the 3D foot shape varied in the length and width (PC1, 48.01%), arch and dorsal height (PC2, 11.38%), and hallux abduction-adduction position (PC3, 7.48%). Conclusions Based on the parameterised 3D foot SSM, these datasets can be applied into the population-based shoe last manufacture, orthotics customization and quick diagnosis of foot disorders in clinic.

Houpo Qiwutang originated from the Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, and it consists of seven medicines: Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, Aurantii Fructus Immaturus, Cinnamomi Ramulus, Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, and Jujubae Fructus. It is a basic formula for the treatment of abdominal fullness. Through the bibliometric method, the historical history, drug base, preparation and dosage, decoction method, and ancient and modern applications of Houpu Qiwu Tang were analyzed by means of textual research. The research finds that Houpu Qiwu Tang has been passed down through the generations in an orderly manner with fewer changes. The drug base of this formula is basically clear, and the base of Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, Cinnamomi Ramulus, Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, and Jujubae Fructus is consistent with the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The mainstream base of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus is the dried young fruit of Citrus aurantium of Rutaceae family, and the historical mainstream base of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma is the dried root of Glycyrrhiza uralensis of Leguminosae family. The modern dosage of this formula is 110.40 g of Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, 41.40 g of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, 69 g of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus, 27.60 g of Cinnamomi Ramulus, 69 g of Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, 41.40 g of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, and 30 g of Jujubae Fructus. In addition, the decoction method is to add 2 000 mL of water with the above seven flavors of the medicine, boil it to 800 mL, and then take 160 mL in a warm state each time. The amount of the medicine taken for each time is 22.08 g of Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, 8.28 g of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, 13.80 g of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus, 5.52 g of Cinnamomi Ramulus, 13.80 g of Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, 8.28 g of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, and 6 g of Jujubae Fructus. The modern application of this formula involves the digestive system, respiratory system, and urinary system. It is more advantageous in digestive system diseases such as early postoperative inflammatory bowel obstruction, functional dyspepsia, gastric pain, functional abdominal distension, and gastric reflux esophagitis. By comprehensively examining the key information of Houpu Qiwu Tang, this paper aims to provide literature support for the development and clinical application of this formula.

Objective:To summarize the clinical phenotype and genetic characteristics of Poirier-Bienvenu neurodevelopmental syndrome associated with CSNK2B gene variation. Methods:The clinical and genetic data of a child with Poirier-Bienvenu neurodevelopmental syndrome caused by shear variant of CSNK2B gene who was diagnosed in the Department of Neurology, Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University in March 2022 were collected. Previous relevant literature at home and abroad was reviewed to summarize the clinical characteristics of the disease. Results:The child was a girl aged 13 months, mainly due to "intermittent convulsions for 2 months" for consultation. The clinical manifestations of the girl were normal face, generalized tonic-clonic seizures, low intelligence, language and motor retardation, and there was no abnormality in the long-range video electroencephalography and the head magnetic resonance imaging. No abnormality was found in chromosome karyotype analysis and chromosome coefficient of copy variation analysis. The whole exon gene sequencing test indicated that the child carried de novo heterozygous shear variant of CSNK2B gene c.291+5G>C, which had not been reported in the literature. According to the clinical manifestations and genetic examination results of the child, the diagnosis of Poirier-Bienvenu neurodevelopmental syndrome was clear. The CSNK2B gene of the proband′s parents and the twin sister was wild-type. The application of sodium valproate anti-seizure medication could effectively control the seizures of the child, and by giving rehabilitation function training, the child′s language and gross motor function was improved. Conclusions:The Poirier-Bienvenu neurodevelopmental syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by variants in the CSNK2B gene. The clinical manifestations are infancy-onset seizures, intellectual development disorders, language and motor development disorders, etc, and the video electroencephalogram and skull magnetic resonance are mostly normal. The CSNK2B gene shear variant is the genetic etiology of the proband.
