Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2009;13(46):9109-9112
BAcKGROUND:The specific research on the interaction between feet and ground when jogging,plays an important role for a deeper understanding of the basic laws of human motion.OBJECTIVE:To test dynamic foot pressure distribution during jogging of 64 undergraduates.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:A single sample design,the experiment was carried out in Tianjin Normal University Sports Institute in March 2009.PARTICIPANTS:A total of 68 male collego students,without history of foot traumatic or deformities and with normal ankle joint,were involved in this study.METHODS:Totally 68 university students were analyzed by the Footacan USB2 system(RSscan,Belgium)when jogging atnormal gait(5m/s).Dynamic foot pressure was determined three times.Analysis of foot pressure distribution system could gain a complete gait cycle of foot pressure distribution,data acquisition and analysis software used footscan SOFTWARE7.0,foot process of analysis was divided into 10 regions:the first phalange,the second to the fifth phalanges,the first metatarsal,the second metatarsal,the third metatarsal,the fourth metatarsal,the fifth metatarsal,arch,medial heel and lateral heel.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Foot pressure,intensity of pressure,force interval and impulse when jogging.RESULTS:The foot stress-time curve showed a single peak;foot maximum pressure located at the second metatarsal,the site of impulse descending order was the third metatarsal.the first metatarsal,heel,the first phalange,the fourth metatarsal,the fifth metatarsal,the second to the fifth phalange,arch;the distribution of both feet was similar.The pressure of right foot in the second metatarsal,the first metatarsal and the first phalange was significantly greater than the left foot;The contact phases of the full foot and deport from ground occupied 90% of support time,the pressure center was densely in the middle of half sole,the fore intarval of sole was long.The contact time of right foot was significantly larger than left foot.The biggest impulse was the site of the second metatarsal,the order from great to small was the first metatarsal,the third metatarsal,the first phalange,heel,the fourth metatarsal,arch.the second to the fifth phalange,the fifth metatarsal;the distribution of both feet was similar.The impulse of right foot was greater than left foot,while the impulse of the second metatarsal,the first metatarsal and the first phalange were greater than left foot,the difference had statistical significance.CONCLUSI0N:The largest pressure part is the second metatarsal when jogging,the pressure center in the foot locates in the middle of half sole,and the largest impulse is the second metatarsal,most of the impulse focus on the front end of the first to the third metatarsals of the half sole.It is indicated that the middle part of the footpad would be injured easily when jogging,so we should pay attention to the selection of shoes when exercising.
2.Research progress on cancer treatment targeting the Hippo-YAP signaling pathway
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2015;(17):876-880
Hippo pathway is a signaling network involved in the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis, whereas Yes-asso-ciated protein (YAP) is the major effector of the pathway. YAP is a candidate oncogene, and dysregulation of the Hippo-YAP pathway is closely related to the occurrence and progression of various tumors. Therefore, Hippo-YAP may provide a novel therapeutic target for cancer treatment. Some drugs or compounds that regulate the Hippo-YAP pathway activity, such as verteporfin, can inhibit the occur-rence or growth of tumors. This review mainly focuses on the progress of studies on the use of Hippo-YAP signaling pathway as a tar-get of cancer treatment strategies.

Objective To assess the CT perfusion characteristics of breast diseases. Methods Twenty-two patients with fibroadenoma accompanied with cyst (n=1), other benign diseases (n=5), and carcinomas (n=16) underwent breast CT scan. CT perfusion was performed for breast with cine mode (0.5 s per rotation ) on a multislice CT scanner ,120 kV, 60 mA, 4?5 mm collimation. Contrast injection was done by using 50 ml nonionic contrast agent ( 300 mg I/ml ), at a flow rate of 4 ml/s with a power injector, 5 seconds delay, and data acquisition lasted for 50 seconds. These data were processed on a GE AW 4.1 workstation using perfusion 3 software package, and the mean BF, BV, MTT and PS were measured and statistically analyzed. Results The mean BF, BV, MTT and PS in carcinoma were (33.55? 28.40) ml?min -1 ? 100 g -1 , (5.60?3.08) ml/100 g, (15.37?6.41) s, (18.71?10.42) ml?min -1 ?100 g -1 . The mean BF, BV, MTT and PS in contralateral normal breast of carcinoma were (10.36?9.44) ml?min -1 ? 100 g -1 , (0.70?0.22) ml/100 g, (13.55?7.27) s, (1.54?1.74) ml?min -1 ?100 g -1 . The mean BF, BV, and PS between carcinoma and normal breast were statistically significant (P0.05). The mean BF, BV, MTT and PS in fibroadenoma were (62.57?19.62) ml?min -1 ?100 g -1 , (7.37?1.30) ml/100 g, (11.24?3.34) s, (27.63?3.87) ml?min -1 ?100 g -1 . The mean PS between carcinoma and fibroadenoma was statistically significant (P0.05). The mean BF, BV, MTT and PS in benign lesion were (7.65?10.24) ml?min -1 ?100 g -1 , (1.23?0.97) ml/100 g, (14.94?10.68) s, (1.81?1.72) ml?min -1 ?100 g -1 . The mean BF, BV, and PS between carcinoma and benign lesion were statistically significant (P0.05). Conclusion MSCT perfusion may reflect the features of breast diseases, and provide valuable hemodynamic message. These parameters have a value in diagnosis of breast diseases and are helpful for differential diagnosis.
