BACKGROUND:Deep muscle stimulation has the effects of releasing muscle adhesion,relieving muscle spasm,improving and restoring muscle compliance and elasticity.Electromyographic biofeedback therapy can promote nerve recovery and improve lower limb motor function and gait. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of the effect of deep muscle stimulation combined with electromyographic biofeedback therapy on the spasm of the triceps surae and gait changes after stroke by using a digital muscle detector and three-dimensional gait analysis system. METHODS:A total of 72 patients who met the inclusion criteria were selected from the Rehabilitation Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University from October 2020 to October 2023.And they were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups(n=36 per group):a control group and a combined group.The control group received routine rehabilitation therapies,electromyographic biofeedback and pseudo deep muscle stimulation,while the combined group received true deep muscle stimulation treatment on the basis of the control group,five times per week,for 4 consecutive weeks.The oscillation frequency and dynamic stiffness of the affected gastrocnemius muscle,active range of motion of the ankle dorsiflexion muscle,electromyographic signal of the tibialis anterior muscle,Fugl-Meyer assessment of the lower limbs,and three-dimensional gait analysis parameters were statistically analyzed before and after treatment in two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After treatment,oscillation frequency and dynamic stiffness values of the inner and outer sides of the affected gastrocnemius muscle in both groups of patients were significantly reduced compared with before treatment(P<0.05),and the combined group showed a more significant decrease compared with the control group(P<0.05).The active range of motion of the ankle dorsiflexion muscle,electromyographic signal of the tibialis anterior muscle,and Fugl-Meyer scores after treatment were significantly increased or improved compared with before treatment(P<0.05),while the combined group showed a more significant increase or improvement compared with the control group(P<0.05).In terms of gait parameters,the walking speed,frequency,and stride in both groups of patients were significantly increased compared with before treatment(P<0.05),while the combined group showed a more significant increase compared with the control group(P<0.05).The percentage time of support phase on the healthy side was shortened compared with before treatment(P<0.05),while the combined group showed a more significant decrease compared with the control group(P<0.05).In addition,there was no significant difference between the two groups except for the percentage of healthy side support(P>0.05).To conclude,the combination of deep muscle stimulation and electromyographic biofeedback can effectively alleviate triceps spasm in the short term after stroke,improve ankle dorsiflexion function,enhance lower limb motor function,and improve gait.The treatment effect is significant and worthy of clinical promotion and application.

The traditional theory of "the spleen governs the dispersion of essence" refers to the spleen's pivotal role in distributing refined nutrients throughout the body. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), lipids are categorized under "gaozhi (膏脂)", and their transportation and metabolism via apolipoproteins are believed to be closely related to the spleen's dispersing function. The liver, which synthesizes apolipoproteins, is functionally linked to the spleen system in TCM. Impaired dispersion of essence by the spleen and disrupted transportation of gaozhi constitute the pathological mechanism of dyslipidemia due to spleen deficiency. Strengthening the spleen and resolving dampness is the core therapeutic principle. From the perspective of modern medicine, this may involve promoting hepatic functional recovery related to lipid metabolism, thereby enhancing lipid processing and reducing the levels of abnormally accumulated lipids in the bloodstream.

Vascular structure pattern,namely the maturity,morphology and distribution of blood vessels,as one of the pathological features of renal cell carcinoma (RCC),cannot be ignored when the prognosis is concerned.The current mainstream classification of vascular structure patterns includes pseudoacini,Golgi,lacunar and dispersion patterns.Many studies have shown that the vascular structure patterns in RCC are closely related to the diagnosis and prognosis.Early features such as dendritic penetration of the endothelium contribute to the differential diagnosis of RCC,while different vascular structure patterns are not only related to tumor grade,but also affect the responsiveness of targeted therapy and prognosis.Evaluating these vascular structural patterns can help to understand the biological behaviors of tumors and guide the treatment options,but a unified assessment of vascular structural patterns is still lacking.This paper reviews the research progress on the relationship between vascular structure patterns and RCC prognosis,aiming to provide clinical reference.

Objective To investigate the role of PSMA4 in the prognosis,diagnosis and immune infiltration of lung adenocarcinoma(LUAD),and explore its underlying mechanism.Methods The expression profiles and clinical data of LUAD patients were sourced from the Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database.The expression level of PSMA4 in LUAD tissues(n=539)and normal tissues(n=59)were compared using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test.The expression levels of PSMA4 in LUAD tissues and normal tissues were validated by analyzing the GSE40791 and GSE10072 LUAD datasets obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database.In addition,tumor and adjacent non-cancerous tissues were collected from 10 LU AD undergoing lung biopsy by fiberoptic bronchoscopy in Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from January to December 2023.The PSMA4 expression in above samples was further verified using RT-qPCR.RT-qPCR was performed to detect the expression of PSMA4 in lung cancer cells and normal lung epithelial cells.Functional enrichment analysis and immune cell infiltration analysis were conducted on the cells with high and low expression of PSMA4.Cox regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier(KM)survival analysis were used to determine the diagnostic and prognostic value of PSMA4 for LUAD,and a nomogram was constructed to predict the overall survival rate at different time points.Results The analysis of TCGA datasets,GSE40791,and GSE10072 LUAD data revealed that PSMA4 expression was significantly higher in LUAD tissues than in normal tissues(P<0.01).RT-qPCR further confirmed that the expression of PSMA4 was obviously elevated in LUAD tissues and lung cancer cells than adjacent non-cancerous tissues and normal lung epithelial cells(P<0.01).High PSMA4 expression could be regarded as a marker for LUAD diagnosis and poor prognosis,and was associated with reduced proportions of Tem cells,TFH cells,B cells,NK cells,Tcm cells,and mast cells in the tumor microenvironment.Conclusion PSMA4 presents significant diagnostic performance for LUAD,and is closely associated with the prognosis and immune infiltration of this malignancy.
