Objective To compare the effect of different intensity of neuromuscular training(NMT)on muscle strength and knee joint function of patients after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction(ACLR).Methods From January,2023 to January,2024,60 ACLR patients in Changhai Hospital were selected,and they received the same intensity of NMT from one to eight weeks after surgery.Eight weeks after surgery,they were randomly divided into low intensity group(n=30)and high intensity group(n=30),and then they received different inten-sities of NMT from nine to 16 weeks after surgery,each training session lasted one hour,with three sessions per week,totaly 48 sessions.The Lysholm score,knee flexor and extensor muscle strength and muscle endurance-were compared at eight weeks and 16 weeks after surgery.Results After group training,the Lysholm score significantly increased in both groups(|t|>13.739,P<0.001),and was higher in the high intensity group than in the low intensity group(t=-2.574,P<0.05);in the high intensity group,the relative peak torque and endurance of the extensor and flexor muscles improved at angular velocities of 60°/s,120°/s and 180 °/s(|t|>2.320,P<0.05);in the low intensity group,the flexor peak torque improved at all the three angular velocities(t>2.177,P<0.05),the extensor peak torque improved at angular velocities of 60°/s and 180°/s(|t|>1.715,P<0.05),and the extensor endurance improved at angular velocity of 60°/s(t=-2.293,P<0.05).However,there was no significant difference in the relative peak torque and endurance of the extensor and flexor muscles at all the three angular velocities(P>0.05).Conclusion Both high and low intensity NMT could improve the muscle strength,muscle endurance and knee joint func-tion.Maybe,high intensity is superior to low intensity.Further verification is still needed.

With the rapid rise of large language models(LLM),the natural language generation capabilities of deep learning have demonstrated significant value in the medical field.However,the"closed nature"of model parameters makes them prone to generating"hallucinations",making it difficult to provide accurate answers to the latest knowledge,and the reasoning process lacks transparency and traceability.Retrieval-augmented generation(RAG)technology addresses these issues by actively connecting external information sources such as document databases and knowledge graphs during the generation process.This significantly reduces the dependence of LLM on outdated training data and introduces verifiable evidence and real-time knowledge updates into their responses.In the medical field,RAG technology effectively addresses the high-accuracy and traceability requirements of literature retrieval and clinical decision support.It is widely applied in areas such as drug discovery,pharmacovigilance,and the diagnosis and treatment of rare diseases.By integrating emerging technologies such as reinforcement learning,multimodal processing,and compliant privacy protection,RAG technology is evolving towards a more open and highly customizable direction,providing innovative intelligent solutions for medical information retrieval and decision-making support.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of lipoic acid-niacin(N2L)on blue light-induced retinal in-jury in mice by regulating the nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2(Nrf2)signaling pathway.Methods Forty-eight male C57BL/6 mice were selected and randomly divided into a wild-type group(+)and an Nrf2 knockout group(-).Each group was further randomly subdivided into four parallel subgroups,with six mice in each.These subgroups were designat-ed as Con+,BL+,N2L+,NS+,Con-,BL-,N2L-,and NS-for corresponding treatments.Electroretinography(ERG)was performed to assess retinal function.TUNEL staining was used to detect photoreceptor cell apoptosis in the mouse retinal tissue.Western blot analysis was conducted to measure the expression levels of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1),B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2),and Bcl-2-associated X proteins(Bax)in the mouse retinal tissue.Results Compared with those in the Con+group,the amplitudes of the ERG b-wave and the second peak(OS2)of mouse oscillatory potentials(OPs)in BL+,NS+,BL-,N2L-,and NS-groups were decreased significantly under medium-and high-intensity stim-ulating light(all P<0.05).The cell apoptosis rate and the expression level of Bax proteins in BL+,NS+,BL-,N2L-,and NS-groups were significantly higher than those in the Con+group(all P<0.05).Compared with those in the BL+group,the amplitudes of the ERG b-wave and OS2 of OPs were increased significantly under medium-and high-intensity stimulating light in N2L+and Con-groups(all P<0.05).N2L+and Con-groups had a significantly lower cell apopto-sis rate than the BL+group(P<0.05).BL-and NS-groups had a significantly higher cell apoptosis rate and significant-ly lower Bax levels than the BL+group(all P<0.05).Compared with those in the N2L+group,the amplitudes of the ERG b-wave and OS2 of OPs were reduced significantly under medium-and high-intensity stimulating light in NS+,BL-,N2L-,and NS-groups(all P<0.05).The cell apoptosis rate and Bax levels in NS+,BL-,N2L-,and NS-groups were significantly higher than those in the N2L+group(all P<0.05).The Bax level in the Con-group was significantly lower than that in the N2L+group(P<0.05).Compared with those in the NS+group,the amplitudes of the ERG b-wave and OS2 of OPs were increased significantly under medium-and high-intensity stimulating light in the Con-group(all P<0.05).The cell apoptosis rate and Bax levels in the Con-group were significantly lower than those in the NS+group(P<0.05).Compared with those in the Con-group,the amplitudes of the ERG b-wave and OS2 of OPs were decreased significantly under medium-and high-intensity stimulating light in BL-,N2L-,and NS-groups(all P<0.05).BL-,N2L-,and NS-groups had a significantly higher cell apoptosis rate and Bax levels than the Con-group(all P<0.05).HO-1 and Bcl-2 levels in BL+,N2L+,and NS+groups were significantly higher than those in the Con+group(all P<0.05).Compared with those in the BL+group,HO-1 and Bcl-2 levels were increased significantly in the N2L+group and decreased significantly in Con-,BL-,N2L-,and NS-groups(all P<0.05).HO-1 and Bcl-2 levels in NS+,Con-,BL-,N2L-,and NS-groups were significantly lower than those in the N2L+group(all P<0.05).Con-,BL-,N2L-,and NS-groups showed significantly lower HO-1 and Bcl-2 levels than the NS+group(all P<0.05).The N2L-group had significantly higher HO-1 and Bcl-2 levels than the Con-group(both P<0.05).Conclusion N2L may antag-onize blue light-induced retinal damage in mice by activating the Nrf2 signaling pathway.
