Objective:To analyze the dynamic plantar pressure distribution of persons with chronic plantar fasciitis (PF).Methods:Twenty persons with unilateral, chronic PF were recruited as the PF group, while twenty-three healthy counterparts were recruited as the control group. A foot-pressure measurement system was used to collect data describing the plantar pressure for each subject with or without PF while walking. The pressure data included the load of peak plantar pressure (PP), the mean plantar pressure (MP), the total foot ground contact area (TCA), and the load percentage and the foot ground contact area beneath the medial heel (MH), the lateral heel (LH), the medial longitudinal arch (MLA), the lateral longitudinal arch (LLA), the first metatarsal head (M1), the second to third metatarsal heads (M2-3), the fourth to fifth metatarsal heads (M4-5), the hallux (T1), and toes two to five (T2-5).Results:In the PF group, significant differences were observed during walking between the affected and unaffected feet in terms of PP [(2.41±0.44)kg/cm 2 versus (3.02±0.63)kg/cm 2]. Both were significantly greater than among the control group. Asymmetry in the load distribution was identified beneath the MH, M2-3, M1, MLA, M4-5 and T2-5 among the chronic PF group. There were also significant differences between the affected foot of the chronic PF group and the non-dominant foot of the control group with regard to the load percentage beneath the LH, M4-5, T2-5, M2-3 and T1. The load percentage under the LH was significantly higher under the unaffected foot of the PF group than under the dominant foot of the control group. In terms of ground contact area, the T2-5 area of the affected foot of the PF group was significantly smaller than that of the unaffected foot, as well as compared to the non-dominant foot of the control group. The TCA of both feet among the PF group was significantly smaller than under the corresponding feet of the control group. Conclusions:Patients with chronic plantar fasciitis apply plantar pressure asymmetrically during walking. They tend to shift their weight laterally onto the asymptomatic foot. During walking, those with PF apply higher plantar pressure over a smaller ground contact area.

Objective:To investigate the relationships among coping styles,negative life events,meaning in life,and psychological resilience in adolescents.Methods:A total of 1 434 adolescents aged 13 to 17 years comple-ted online questionnaire survey.The Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire(SCSQ),Adolescent Self-Rating Life E-vents Checklist(ASLEC),Chinese Meaning in Life Questionnaire(C-MLQ),and Connor-Davidson resilience scale(CD-RISC)were used to assess coping styles,perceived impact of negative life events,experience and pursuit of meaning in life,and ability to cope with and adapt to adversity,respectively.Logistic regression was used to explore the associations among these variables.Results:A total of 723 students(50.4%)tended to adopt negative coping styles when facing adverse events.Positive coping styles were negatively associated with being in senior high school(OR=0.62,P<0.05)and impact of life events(OR=0.97,P<0.001),while positively associated with sense of meaning in life(OR=1.04,P<0.001)and psychological resilience(OR=1.04,P<0.001).Conclusion:Among adolescents,positive coping styles are inversely associated with impact of negative life events,and positively associ-ated with both the sense of life meaning and psychological resilience.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of physical activity(PA)in overweight and obese children from the individual,family and environment levels.Methods Using a stratified cluster random sampling method,315 children[mean age:9.57±1.45 years;201 boys(63.8%)and 114 girls(36.2%)]were selected from two classes of every grade of one public elementary school in the four main urban districts of Shijiazhuang.Hierarchical linear regression models were employed to ana-lyze the influence of 20 factors on individual,family and environment levels on PA among them.Re-sults Children's age(β=-0.02),sex(βmale=0.12),sedentary time(β=-0.07),ball skills(β=0.12),perceived motor competence(β=0.18),primary caregiver's PA(β=0.17),parental PA support(β=0.10)and home/neighborhood PA environment(β=0.40)were significant factors of their moderate-to-vigorous physical activities(P<0.05).For light physical activity(LPA)and total PA,only sedentary time(βLPA=-0.57,βtotal=-0.52),parental support for children's PA(βLPA=0.15,βtotal=0.16),and home/neighborhood PA environment(βLPA=0.17,βtotal=0.15)were significant predictors(Pall<0.05).Conclusion The influencing factors of PA among overweight and obese children are complex and multidimensional.Elements at the individual,family and environment levels all play significant roles.Therefore,future interventions and policies aimed at promoting PA in this population should take these multifaceted de-terminants into consideration.

[摘 要] 目的:探讨IL-22/IL-22受体A1(IL-22RA1)通路在口腔鳞状细胞癌(OSCC)恶性进展中的作用及其机制。方法:利用GEO数据库和免疫组化法分析IL-22RA1在OSCC组织及配对癌旁组织中的表达水平,采用组织芯片免疫组化法检测并分析IL-22RA1表达水平与OSCC患者临床病理特征的关系,通过EBI ArrayExpress数据库分析IL-22RA1表达水平与患者预后的关系。采用免疫荧光法检测IL-22和IL-22RA1在OSCC组织中表达水平并分析两者间的相关性。用RNA干扰技术敲减OSCC细胞WSU-HN4和CAL27的IL-22RA1表达,用qPCR法验证敲减效率。采用克隆形成实验、Transwell小室法分别检测IL-22对阴性对照(siNC)组和IL-22RA1敲减(siIL-22RA1)组OSCC细胞克隆形成及迁移能力的影响,WB法检测IL-22对OSCC细胞IL-22RA1表达水平及STAT1、STAT3和ERK1/2磷酸化水平的影响。结果:OSCC组织中IL-22RA1 mRNA的表达水平显著高于癌旁组织(P<0.05)。IL-22RA1表达水平与OSCC患者的肿瘤大小(P<0.05)、淋巴结转移(P<0.01)及预后不良(P<0.05)有关联。OSCC组织中的IL-22和IL-22RA1表达水平无明显关联,IL-22对OSCC细胞IL-22RA1表达无影响(均P>0.05)。IL-22可显著增强OSCC细胞的克隆形成和迁移能力(均P<0.01),并可激活OSCC细胞的STAT1、STAT3及ERK1/2信号分子;敲减OSCC细胞的IL-22RA1后,IL-22则无法发挥上述作用。结论:IL-22/IL-22RA1可通过调控细胞增殖和迁移促进OSCC的生长和转移,其下游机制可能是激活ERK1/2-STAT1/3信号通路。

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of ankle joint mobilization combined hip strengthening on pain and function of patients with chronic plantar fasciitis(PF).Method:Fifty patients with PF,aged 23 to 62 years,were randomly assigned to the intervention group(n=25)and the control group(n=25).Both groups of patients were received routinely stretching exercises.Addition-ally,the control group received ankle joint mobilization and the intervention group received ankle joint mobili-zation plus hip strengthening.Both groups received total 8 treatments,twice a week.The Visual Analogue pain Score(VAS)and the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society(AOFAS)ankle-hindfoot scale were evaluated before and after treatment and after 3 months of follow-up,along with assessments of hip extension and abduction muscle strength,and ankle dorsiflexion range of motion.Result:After 4 weeks of treatment,both groups showed a significant difference in the VAS and AOFAS com-pared to before treatment(P<0.001),but no significant difference was found between groups.After 3 months follow-up,the VAS in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P=0.003),and the values of AOFAS in the intervention group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.001).Conclusion:Ankle joint mobilization combined with hip strengthening can effectively alleviate foot pain and improve function to the patients of chronic plantar fasciitis.

Objective:To explore the significance of proactive healthy living index(PHLI)to provide a reference for the elderly to maintain function through healthy daily life.Methods:The functional status of the elderly was defined based on gait speed and cognitive function.Logistic regression model was used to select the daily life indicators which could be the risk factors for the functional status, and a nomogram was graphed for its visualization.PHLI was formed according to the result of the nomogram.Receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)was plotted according to the functional status of the elderly, and the cut-off value of PHLI was determined based on the principle of the maximum sum of sensitivity and specificity.Results:A total of 4 971 participants with an average age of (70.9±7.5)years were included in the cross-sectional study, of whom 2 649 cases(53.3%)maintained normal function.The Logistic regression analysis showed that the housework had the most significant effect on the functional status of the elderly, followed by positive psychology( OR=2.04, 1.92; both P<0.001), increasing the likelihood of maintaining normal function by 104% and 92%, respectively.Regular life patterns, adequate protein intake, sleep quality and so on also influenced functional status of the elderly(all P<0.05). The PHLI median score of the elderly was 7.3(5.9, 8.3)points.The area under the curve(AUC)was 0.70(95% CI: 0.68-0.71), and the cut off value of PHLI was 6.8 points. Conclusions:The PHLI is associated with the maintenance of functional capacity in the elderly, which can be applied as a simple tool to provide reference for old people to keep functional health through living a proactive healthy daily life.
