Objective To investigate the effect of trunk control on the biomechanical characteristics of lower limb movements during Asian squats(AS)and Western squats(WS)in young adults to provide empirical support for the application and promotion of deep squat training.Methods Twenty-four healthy young male collegiate students performed AS and WS with and without bar control,and their lower limb kinematic and kinetic characteristics were collected using an infrared light-point motion capture system and a three-dimensional(3D)dynamometer.The 3D angles of the lower limbs were obtained using Cortex-642.6.2 software,based on the calculation of Euler angles,and the 3D moments were obtained by applying the inverse dynamics method.The effects of trunk control and deep squatting posture on the lower limb kinematic characteristics were examined using a two-factor analysis of variance with a 2×2 repeated design.Results There was no significant interaction between trunk control and the deep squatting posture for either kinematic or kinetic parameters(P>0.05).The WS group had a large knee flexion angle,peak patellofemoral contact force,and ratio of peak hip and knee extension moments,and small ankle dorsiflexion and hip flexion angles(P<0.05).The deep squat with a bar had a large ankle dorsiflexion angle,peak patellofemoral contact force,and hip flexion angle as well as a small knee flexion angle and ratio of peak hip and knee extension moments(P<0.05).Conclusions WS is helpful for training hip extension muscle groups,whereas AS is helpful for training knee extension muscle strength.The peak patellofemoral joint contact force of the WS is significantly greater than that of the AS;therefore,it is recommended that patients with patellofemoral joint pain use the AS.A squat with a bar can compensate for the body's balance;thus,people with limited ankle dorsiflexion range of motion or anterior tibial muscle weakness may consider trunk control training,such as a deep squat with a bar.This may help improve lower limb stability during squats.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of systemic immune inflammation index(SII)scores in long-term survival of patients with stage Ⅲ squamous lung cancer treated with radical radiotherapy.Methods Clinical data of stage Ⅲ squamous lung cancer patients who underwent radical radiotherapy at the Radiotherapy Department of the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2010 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.The peripheral hematological indexes one week before radiotherapy were collected and recorded.X-Tile software was applied to determine the best cut-off values for continuous variables.Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze overall survival(OS)and progression-free survival(PFS).Results A total of 453 patients were included in this study.There were 336 patients in the low SII group(＜1 277.3),and other 117 patients were in the high SII group(≥1 277.3).The median OS and median PFS in the high SII group were shorter than those in the low SII group(OS:20.8 months vs.31.0 months,Log-rank χ2=18.015,P＜0.01;PFS:13.0 months vs.21.0 months,Log-rank χ2=15.062,P＜0.01).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that high SII was associated with OS(HR=1.628,95%CI:1.294-2.047,P<0.001)and PFS(HR=1.559,95%CI:1.240-1.961,P<0.001).Other influencing factors included late TNM stage,poor radiotherapy efficacy and decreased HALP score.Conclusion SII can be used to evaluate the long-term survival of patients with stage Ⅲ lung squamous cell carcinoma receiving radical radiotherapy,and the increase of SII indicates a poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism of SNHG5 regulating the proliferation, invasion and apoptosis of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cells by targeting miR-421. Methods Real-time quantitative PCR test was performed to detect the expression levels of SNHG5 and miR-421 in 31 cases of GBM tissue samples and 32 cases of normal brain tissue samples. After increasing or decreasing SNHG5 expression in U87 cell lines by lentivirus or plasmid transfection, the changes of miR-421 expression were measured by real-time quantitative PCR, to explore the correlation between SNHG5 and miR-421 in GBM. The dual-luciferase reporter test was performed to explore the target interaction of SNHG5 and miR-421. The plasmids with low expression of SNHG5 and miR-421 were cotransfected into U87 cells for the rescue experiment. CCK-8 test, Transwell test, flow cytometry and tumor cell xenograft in nude mice were used to verify molecular mechanism of SNHG5 regulating the proliferation, invasion and apoptosis of GBM in vitro and vivo. Results The expression level of miR-421 was decreased in U87 cell line after SNHG5 upregulation. In addition, the expression level of miR-421 was increased in U87 cell line after SNHG5 downregulation (P < 0.05). The expression level of SNHG5 was correlated negatively with the expression of miR-421 in GBM and U87 cell line. The result of luciferase reporter tests indicated SNHG5 targetedly interacted with miR-421. Rescue experiment results showed that compared with si-SNHG5+miR-421-inhibitor group, the proliferation, invasion and anti-apoptosis ability of U87 cells were significantly inhibited in the si-SNHG5+control-inhibitor group, the expression levels of BAX and p21 were significantly higher, the expression levels of CyclinD1 and Bcl-2 were lower remarkably (P < 0.05). Conclusion SNHG5 promotes the proliferation, invasion and anti-apoptosis of GBM by targeting miR-421 and regulating the expression of CyclinD1, p21, BAX and Bcl-2. Downregulation of miR-421 is related to SNHG5 overexpression in GBM.

With the continuously exploration,in recent years,further understanding of anatomical characteristics of the cervical pedicle brings great breakthrough in cervical pedicle screw implantation.In addition,pedicle screw implantation in cervical spine is considered as a technique with high safety and reliability,which can be widely used in cervical trauma fracture,cervical instability,degenerative,inflammatory,benign or malignant tumor,deformity and other neck diseases.Because of the tremendous differences between upper cervical spine (C1,C2) and lower cervical spine (C3-7) in anatomical morphology,cervical pedicle screw implantation in C1 and C2 differs from in lower cervical spine.Due to the similar structure of C3-7,pedicle screw implantation methods are based on the same principle and sharing a few points in common.The pedicle screw technique can be classified in two groups according to the practice methods:navigation technology and manual placement of cervical pedicle screw.Navigation nailing is considered as reliable,easy handing,and with clear operative vision,however,with disadvantages as complex procedures,highly cost operation equipment,and risk in navigation draft.Therefore,manual placement of pedicle screw is more reasonable and practical comparing with the former.In this study,it analyzed anatomical characteristics of lower cervical pedicle and the measurement of pedicle structure,discussed technique of manual placement of pedicle screw in lower cervical spine and biomechanical study of pedicle screw,and summed up the comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of current representative manual placement technology.

Objective To explore the causes of per-hospitalization high inpatient expenditure of a tertiary hospital in 2015,by analyzing the influencing factors.Methods We retrospectively studied 1 282 inpatient cases who cost more than 100 000 yuan per case at a tertiary hospital in 2015,analyzing statistically major influencing factors of such expenditure in variance analysis and multiple stepwise regression analysis.Results The average days of stay of these cases were 27.6 days,and the average medical cost of those cases was 149 153 yuan per person.Costs for medicines and material made up a large proportion of medical costs,respectively accounting for 33.38% and 31.98% of the total.The days of stay,prognosis of the patient,complications as well as hospital infection,surgeries,gender of the patients constituted major factors on inpatient medical expenditure.Conclusions Reducing the average days of stay,guiding reasonable applications of drugs and medical materials,strengthening management on operations and controlling excessive medical services are effective approaches to reducing excessive growth of medical costs.

Objective To assay the protective effect of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) on acute lung injury (ALI) in rabbits.Methods Forty male New Zealand rabbits were divided into EPCs low-dose group,EPCs mid-dose group,EPCs high-dose group,ALI group,and control group according to the random number table,with 8 rabbits per group.Emulsified oleic acid was used to induce ALl.Instead,saline emulsion was injected to rabbits in control group.PBS containing 1 × 105,1 × 106,and 1 ×107 EPCs were respectively administered to rabbits in EPCs low-dose,mid-dose,and high-dose groups; on the contrary,blank PBS was injected to rabbits in ALI and control groups.Lung weight to dry ratio (W/D) and pulmonary permeability index (PPI) were detected before and after operation; protein expressions of TNF-α and IL-1 βby western blot,and mRNA expression of NF-κB by RT-PCR.Results PPI and W/D value lowered in EPCs low-dose group (15.0 ± 1.1,5.04 ± 0.11),mid-dose group (13.8 ± 0.7,4.80 ± 0.13),and high-dose group (13.7 ± 0.7,4.87 ± 0.08) when compared to 17.1 ± 1.5 and 5.21 ±0.05 in ALI group (P ＜0.05).EPCs low-dose,mid-dose,and high-dose groups showed decreased levels in NF-κB (0.75 ± 0.04,0.41 ± 0.05,0.42 ± 0.03),TNF-α (0.364 ± 0.020,0.312 ±0.015,0.310 ±0.013),and IL-1β (0.230 ±0.017,0.206 ±0.010,0.210 ±0.018) compared to ALI group (0.87 ±0.11,0.387 ±0.018,0.262 ±0.019,P ＜0.05).Moreover,all indicators were lowered significantly in EPCs mid-dose and high-dose groups when compared to EPCs low-dose (P ＜0.05),but the two groups themselves revealed no statistical difference.Conclusion EPCs protect ALI via improving pulmonary edema,pulmonary permeability,and inflammatory response in a dose-dependent correlation with EPCs,but ceiling effect is observed as well.
