Objective To investigate the reliability and validity of the assessment tools of Brief ICF Core Sets for Arthroplasty of Knee Osteoarthritis in Perioperative Period(ICSAKOPP). Methods From May,2022 to April,2023,320 patients undergoing knee arthroplasty were selected in Peking University Third Hospital,China-Japan Friendship Hospital,Peking University First Hospital and Chinese PLA General Hospital.Trained assessors used Brief ICSAKOPP to evaluate all enrolled patients before arthroplasty,three days(±one day)after arthroplasty,three weeks(±one week)after arthroplasty,and three months(±one month)after ar-throplasty.Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index(WOMAC)scores were recorded at the same time.Five professionals were asked to score all the items of Brief ICSAKOPP,and the content validity index(CVI)was caculated. Results A total of 64 cases were dropped down.CVI of all the items of the Brief ICSAKOPP were above 0.8,with a av-erage CVI of the scale of 0.938.The Cronbach's α coefficient of the Brief ICSAKOPP was 0.813.There was a moderate correlation(r=0.681,P<0.001)between the overall Brief ICSAKOPP and WOMAC scores,as well as body functional dimension score(r=0.668,P<0.001)and activities and participation dimension score(r=0.657,P<0.001). Conclusion Brief ICSAKOPP is good in content validity,internal consistency reliability and criterion validity.

Objective:To observe the aging-related trends and age-sensitive changes in postural control reaction time(RT)and movement time(MT)during the adaptive balance after instability. Method:A total of 97 healthy adult subjects aged 20-79 were tested for posture control time using the DE-A somatosensory balance detection system.The test included postural adjustment RT and MT during the adaptive balance(e.g.forward,backward,left and right)tilts of the support surface under static and dynamic balance states.The subjects were sequentially divided into six age groups based on 10-year age intervals,with 16 in Group 1(20-29 years),10 in Group 2(30-39 years),17 in Group 3(40-49 years),18 in Group 4(50-59 years),31 in Group 5(60-69 years)and 5 in Group 6(70-79 years).The age-related trends and age-sensitive changes in postural control RT and MT were observed and analyzed. Result:The postural control RT and MT increased with age.In static balance,all RT and MT indicators were longer in group 6 than in groups 1 to 5,with significant differences compared with groups 1 to 4(P＜0.05)but no significant differences compared to group 5(P＞0.05).All RT and MT indicators were longer in group 5 than in groups 1 to 4,and there were significant differences(P＜0.05).All RT and MT indicators were lon-ger in group 4 than in groups 1 to 3,with a significant difference compared with group 1 in RT when the support surface was tilted to the right(P＜0.05),but no significant differences between groups for the remain-ing indicators(P＞0.05).All RT and MT indicators were longer in group 3 than in groups 1 to 2,with a sig-nificant difference compared with group 1 in MT when the support surface was tilted to the left(P＜0.05),but no significant differences between groups for the remaining indicators(P＞0.05).There was no significant difference(P＞0.05)between group 2 in all RT and in MT compared with group 1.In dynamic balance,all RT and MT indicators were longer in group 6 than in groups 1 to 5,with significant differences compared with groups 1 to 4(P＜0.05)but no significant differences compared with group 5(P＞0.05).All RT and MT indicators were longer in group 5 than in groups 1 to 4,but there were no significant differences(P＞0.05).All RT indicators were longer in group 4 than in groups 1 to 3,with no significant differences compared with group 1 in RT when the support surface was tilted to the left(P＞0.05),while there were significant dif-ferences between groups for the remaining RT indicators(P＜0.05).All MT indicators were longer in group 4 than in groups 1 to 3,with significant differences compared with group 2 in MT when the support surface was tilted to the back and left(P＜0.05),while there were no significant differences between groups for the remaining RT indicators(P＞0.05).All RT indicators were longer in group 3 than in groups 1 to 2,with no significant differences compared with group 1(P＞0.05).All MT indicators were longer in group 3 than in groups 1 to 2,with significant differences compared with group 1(P＜0.05).There was no significant differ-ence between group 2 in all RT and in MT compared with group 1(P＞0.05). Conclusion:The postural control RT and MT during the adaptive balance after instability gradually increase with aging.The deterioration of postural control response time and motion time in static balance may start to become evident around the age of 60,while in dynamic balance,these deteriorations may begin to appear around the ages of 50 and 40,respectively.

ObjectiveTo investigate the individual factors of postural adjustment reaction time and movement time during adaptive equilibrium. MethodsFrom March to December, 2021, 126 healthy adults aged 18 to 80 years were recruited at the First Medical Center of the General Hospital of the Chinese PLA. The DE-A somatosensory balance detection system was used to detect their postural adjustment reaction time (RT) and movement time (MT) as the platform tilting in multiple directions during standing (static) or walking (dynamic). The ages, genders, body mass index (BMI) and physical activity level of them were investigated. ResultsThe age was the only factor independently associated with dynamic RT and MT in all the directions (β > 0.632, P < 0.05). For static MT, as the platform tilting forward, physical activity level (β = -0.143, P < 0.05), BMI (β = 0.154, P < 0.05) and age (β = 0.663, P < 0.05) were the independently associated factors; as the platform tilting leftward, gender (β = -0.173, P < 0.05) and age (β = 0.647, P < 0.05) were the independently associated factors; and age was the only independently associated factor for other directions (β > 0.571, P < 0.05). For the static RT, age was the only independently associated factor for all the directions (β > 0.615, P < 0.05). ConclusionAge is the most important independently factor related to postural adjustment during adaptive equilibrium, and aging may delay the postural adjustment after instability.

ObjectiveTo analyze the characteristics of dysfunction in patients with chronic hip pain and clarify the relationship between dysfunction and psychological factors. MethodsA total of 55 patients with chronic hip pain admitted to the First Medical Center, Chinese PLA General Hospital from April, 2021 to March, 2022 were selected as experimental group, and 34 healthy subjects were selected as control group. The basic information and clinical data were collected by questionnaire. They were evaluated with the Hip Outcome Score Activities of Daily Living (HOS-ADL), the Hip Outcome Score sport-specific subscale (HOS-SSS), modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), the 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS including HADS: A and HADS:D), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), and their corelation with clinical indicators were analyzed. ResultsThe scores of mHHS、HOS-ADL、HOS-SSS and SF-12 were significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (|Z| > 6.251, P < 0.001). The scores of mHHS, HOS-ADL, HOS-SSS and SF-12 were negatived related with the score of Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) (|r| > 0.480, P < 0.01). The risk factors of PCS were HADS:A, HADS:D and HOS-ADL. ConclusionThe functional level of patients with chronic hip pain is closely related to the catastrophic pain, and the influencing factors of catastrophic pain are anxiety, depression, and the motor function required for daily life of the hip joint.

Objective To investigate the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on aphasia recovery after stroke. Meth-ods From April, 2012 to January, 2013, 20 aphasic patients after stroke were enrolled in an A-B experiment design. During phase A, ten times of sham tDCS and language training (five days a week) were implemented, then ten times language training combined with tDCS (five days a week) were implemented in phase B. The treatment lasted for four weeks. Picture naming was measured for all patients before and af-ter treatment both in phase A and phase B. Results The D-value scores of picture naming before and after treatment were significantly more in phase B than in phase A in both treatment items and non-treatment items (t>3.030, P<0.05). Conclusion tDCS could raise the accuracy of picture naming in patients with aphasia after stroke.

Objective To evaluate the effect of silver needle injection therapy on rat with sports muscle injury. Methods Twenty-one healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into the injury group (n = 3),the silver needle group (n=12) and the control group (n=3). The expressions of bFGF and GDNF in gastrocnemius muscle tendon junction were detected on 7 d ,14 d and 28 d post-injury. Results No significant difference in the appearance of the injured tissue was found in both two groups on 7 d post-injury. The appearance of the injured tissue was better in the silver needle group than that in the control group on 14 d and 28 d post-injury. The tissue was almost normal in the therapy group on 28 d post-injury; The expression of bFGF in the therapy group was higher than that in the injury control group on 7 d and 14 d post-injury (P < 0.01). The expression of bFGF markedly decreased in the therapy group compared with the control group (P < 0.01) on 28 d post-injury. The expression of GDNF in the therapy group was higher than that in the injury control group on 7 d ,14 d and 28 d post-injury (P<0.01). Conclusion The silver needle injection therapy has the therapeutic effect on sports muscle injury reparation, which can increase the expression of bFGF and GDNF efficiently.

Objective To observe the effect of light emitting diode (LED) red light irradiation on serum lipid in experimental hyperlipidemia rats. Methods 36 healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal control group (n=12) and hyperlipidemic model group (n=24). The normal group was fed with normal diet while the hyperlipidemic model group with fat-rich forage for 6 weeks. The hyperlipidemic model group rats were randomly divided into the hyperlipidemic control group (n=12) and LED treatment group (n=12), and the latter accepted LED red light irradiation for 28 d. The levels of serum lipid including total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), and the activities of lipoproteinesterase (LPL) and hepatic lipase (HL) were detected with biochemical assay. The expression of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reducase (HMG-CR) of hepatic tissue were measured with immunohistochemical staining. Results Compared with the hyperlipidemic control group, the levels of serum TC, TG and LDL-C decreased while the serum HDL-C increased significantly in the LED treatment group (P<0.01) after treated with LED. The levels of LPL and HL in serum increased (P<0.01) while the activity of HMG-CR decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion LED red light irradiation might play a regulating effect on serum lipid by enhancing the activities of LPL and HL and inhibiting the expression of HMG-CR to interfere the metabolism of TC, TG, LDL-C and HDL-C.

Objective To study the effects of ankle-foot retractor on ankle joint motion and equilibrium function of stroke hemiplegic patients.Methods 74 patients were divided into two groups: observation group (n=36) and control group (n=38). The control group was trainedby routine rehabilitation training program and electro-uprise bed, the observation group was trained by ankle-foot retractor based on routinerehabilitation training program. The effect was evaluated after 8 weeks. Results After training, either the observation group or the controlgroup showed significant improvement at motion of ankle joint, activity of daily living (ADL), and equilibrium function, but the observationgroup was better than the control group (P<0.001). Conclusion Ankle-foot retractor plays a positive role on motion of ankle joint, ADL andequilibrium function in stroke patients.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of different environmental intervention on neurofilament (NF) expression in rats after unilateral local cerebral infarction. MethodsAfter middle cerebral artery occluded (MCAO) by electric coagulation, 125 male SD rats were randomly divided into individual living group (n=30, living alone in small standard cages), social communication group (n=30, 5 as a group living in large standard stages ), learning group(n=30, 15 as a group living in exploratory cages), enriched environment group (n=30, 5 as a group living in EE cages) and sham operated group(n=5). The rats were randomly sacrificed at the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th day after MCAO. The expressions of NF in peri-ischemic cortex were detected with immunohistochemistry staining. ResultsThe expression of NF in the peri-ischemia cortex in enriched environment group and learning group was higher than that in other two groups (P<0.01) after 7 days, it also was higher in social communication group than that in individual living group (P<0.05). ConclusionEnriched environment and learning could enhance NF expression in rats after unilateral local cerebral infarction.

Objective To study the effect of exploratory environment on behavioral recovery and the expression of neurogranin (Ng) in rats after unilateral local cerebral infarction. Methods 70 male Sprague-Dawley rats were adopted. After making the model of MCAO with electric coagulation, 60 rats were randomly divided into exploratory group (n=30, living in maze cages) and control group (n=30, living in large standard cages). Other 10 rats as the sham group lived in standard cage. 10 rats were chosen randomly from the groups for Berderson test, manual muscle and balancing test on the 1st, 7th, 14th, 28th day after operation, and 5 rats were sacrificed separately in exploratory group and control group at the same time. 5 rats in sham group were randomly sacrificed separately on the 7th, 28th day after operation. The expressions of Ng in the peri-ischemic cortex were detected with immunohistochemistry stain. Results The scores of behavior in exploratory group improved compared with that in control group (P<0.05) from 14 d after operation. The number of Ng positive cells increased in exploratory group compared with that in control group (P<0.01) from 7 d after operation. Conclusion Exploratory environment can facilitate the functional recovery and the Ng expression in rats after unilateral local cerebral infarction.
