Objective:To document the clinical efficacy of supplementing intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate with Baduanjin exercise in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA).Methods:Forty patients with KOA were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, each of 20. Both groups received health education and intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate once a week for 5 consecutive weeks. The observation group additionally underwent Baduanjin exercise 3 times a week for the 5 weeks. Before and after the treatment, knee joint function, pain and surface integrated electromyography (iEMG) values of the affected quadriceps were assessed using the Western Ontario and McMaster University (WOMAC) Osteoarthritis Index Scale, and a visual analogue scale (VAS).Results:After the treatment the average VAS and WOMAC scores of both groups had decreased significantly, while the average iEMG value of the quadriceps on the affected side had increased significantly. The average VAS and WOMAC scores of the observation group were significantly lower than the control group′s averages after the treatment, while the average iEMG value of the quadriceps on the affected side was significantly higher.Conclusion:Combining Baduanjin exercise with sodium hyaluronate joint injection in the treatment of KOA has a synergistic effect which can better relieve knee pain, improve knee functioning, and delay the progression of KOA. The combined treatment is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of Acronychia pedunculata water extracts on UV-induced light damage of human keratinocytes.Methods:The experiment was conducted from December 2018 to April 2020 in the Guangxi Medical University Laboratory of Genetics. The photoaged keratinocyte model was used, the cells were co-cultured with different concentrations of Acronychia pedunculata water extracts. The cell proliferation rate was detected by CCK-8 method. The levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) of cells were detected by a test kit. The levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were determined by ELISA.Results:The proliferation of HaCaT cells was promoted by 0.5 mg/L-2.0 mg/L of the extracts. Compared with control group, the proliferation rate of HaCaT cells in the experimental group was significantly increased ( P<0.05). Compared with control group, the contents of ROS was decreased ( F=214.67, P<0.05), MDA was decreased ( F=811.88, P<0.05), SOD was increased ( F=28.95, P<0.05), CAT was increased ( F=213.31, P<0.05), GPX was increased ( F=65.10, P<0.05), T-AOC was increased ( F=305.58, P<0.05), IL-1β was decreased ( F=15.46, P<0.05), IL-6 was decreased ( F=59.2, P<0.05), and TNF-α was decreased ( F=33.13, P<0.05). Conclusions:The extracts of 0.5-2.0 mg/L of Acronychia pedunculata have protective effects on the photoaging cell model, which may be related to the increase of SOD, CAT, GPX and other antioxidant enzymes and the level of T-AOC in photoaging HaCaT cells, and the decrease of ROS, MDA content and the expression of inflammatory cytokines.

BACKGROUND: In China, population aging makes pension become prominent, so different pension patterns haven been developed. However, the existing patterns pay bare attention to the physical exercise of the elderly, and the elderly need regular exercise to delay the aging and improve the quality of life. Vibration training is an exercise method that popularized in the past decade. It can effectively enhance the muscle strength and balance function of the elderly. Little is reported on sitting posture, and exploring the effect of vibration training in sitting position on the elderly provides reference for physical intervention of the elderly. OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of 12-week vibration training in sitting posture on muscle strength of lower extremity, balance and walking ability of the elderly living in the day-care center. METHODS: Thirty-six elderly with an average age of 82.9 years were randomized into trial (n=20) and control (n=16) groups. The trial group underwent 12-week vibration training in sitting posture (amplitude: 3 mm; frequency: 3-13 Hz; 5 min/set, 1 minute in between; 2-4 sets/session; 3 times/week) by using vibration platform BODYGREEN. The control group received no vibration training in sitting posture with normal rest. Only investigators were blind to grouping. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the baseline, the five times sit to stand test, intensive Romberg test results, time up and go test results and 10-m walking test results showed no significant changes in the trial group. The deviation length, deviation area and Y-axis deviation of eyes open, and the deviation length and Y-axis deviation of eyes closed in Win-Pod balance test were significantly reduced (P < 0.05). The indexes showed no significant changes in the control group before and after training. The elderly had good adaptability to vibration training in sitting posture, with no dizziness or other adverse reactions. These results imply that 12-week vibration training in sitting posture is beneficial to overcome the deviation of the center of gravity in older adults. Nevertheless, the effect of improving muscle strength of lower extremity and walking ability is not obvious. Vibration training in sitting posture can be accepted by the elderly, which may be regarded as a way of daily exercising for older adults.
