Objective To test the hypothesis that backward crawling and forward crawling share similar inter-joint coordination patterns,thus providing potential evidence for the application of backward crawling in rehabilitation training.Methods The acceleration signals in the X,Y,and Z directions for 9 joints(including bilateral wrists,elbows,shoulders,knees,and hips)in 9 volunteers during forward and backward crawling were collected using a custom signal acquisition system,and the pressure signals were also recorded when the palms contacted the ground.The collected acceleration signals were preprocessed,segmented into cycles,and vectorized.Based on the pressure signals,a single crawling cycle was divided into support phase and swing phase.In addition,principal component analysis was applied to extract inter-joint coordination in limbs at various scales(sagittal,coronal,and transverse planes).Pearson correlation coefficients of inter-joint coordination patterns were compared between forward and backward crawling in support period,swing period,and full cycle.Results The correlation coefficients for coordination patterns in the full cycle at the transverse plane scale were 0.813 5(PC1)and 0.837 5(PC2),and the correlation coefficient of the support period PC2 was 0.901 8.At the sagittal plane scale,the correlation coefficient of the support period PC1 was 0.948 5.Conclusion The study provides preliminary evidence that limb motion coordination patterns during backward crawling are similar to those observed during forward crawling.Future research will further explore the effects of backward crawling on functional rehabilitation in individuals with motor impairments.

How to effectively reduce the size of infant pose estimation network models is a key issue restricting the"home-use"of infant pose estimation technology. Therefore,a lightweight method for infant pose estimation in home scenarios is proposed. The method takes the lightweight network MobileNetV3 as the encoding backbone and utilizesa PixelShuffle up-sampling module in the decoder for reducing the quantity of model parameters. Meanwhile,coordinate attention mechanism is used to better capture location information and channel feature information,highlighting the feature information of small targets and occluded human keypoints. Besides,the parallel cross-correlation convolution is further modified to enhance the capability of feature information extraction. The method's performance is verified on the general pose estimation dataset (COCO) and the dedicated infant pose estimation dataset (SyRIP). The results show that,with a calculation volume (GFLOPs) of only 0.96,the method achieves average accuracies of 73.5% and 91.0% on COCO and SyRIP datasets,respectively,proving that it can significantly reduce the quantity of model parameters and calculation volume without sacrificing pose estimation accuracy. The proposed lightweight estimation model is expected to be deployed on home appliances such as smart terminals,thereby realizing intelligent estimation of abnormal infant poses in home scenarios.

Evidence serves as the driving force shifting medical practice from empirical medicine towards evidence-based medicine. In the current era of information explosion, it is challenging for clinical surgeons to extract evidence from the vast pool of primary research literature to address clinical issues. Literature reviews, as a form of synthesized evidence, are particularly crucial for precise and efficient evidence utilization. A new form of review within the framework of evidence-based medicine, systematic reviews, also has widespread application in the surgical domain. With the development of methodological approaches in evidence-based medicine, the types of systematic reviews continue to diversify. This paper outlines and summarizes the common types and methodologies of systematic reviews in the surgical field, aiming to provide a clear framework for surgical practitioners to select evidence for both confirming and innovating clinical practices in specific clinical challenges.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC)is characterized by high recurrence or distant metastases rate and the prognosis is challenging.There is mounting evidence that tumor-infiltrating B cells(TIL-Bs)have a crucial,synergistic role in tumor control.However,little is known about the role TIL-Bs play in immune microenvironment and the way TIL-Bs affect the outcome of immune checkpoint blockade.Using single-cell RNA sequencing(scRNA-seq)data from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database,the study identified distinct gene expression patterns in TIL-Bs.HNSCC samples were categorized into TIL-Bs inhibition and TIL-Bs activation groups using unsupervised clustering.This classification was further validated with TCGA HNSCC data,correlating with patient prognosis,immune cell infiltration,and response to immunotherapy.We found that the B cells activation group exhibited a better prognosis,higher immune cell infiltration,and distinct immune checkpoint levels,including elevated PD-L1.A prognostic model was also developed and validated,highlighting four genes as potential biomarkers for predicting survival outcomes in HNSCC patients.Overall,this study provides a foundational approach for B cells-based tumor classification in HNSCC,offering insights into targeted treatment and immunotherapy strategies.

Crawling is a significant sign of gross motor development in infants,and also an important means of rehabilitation training for patients with motor disorders.The accurate measurement of the motion state during human crawling is essential for evaluating the gross motor developmental process in infants and the rehabilitation outcome of patients with motor disorders.In recent years,many studies have attempted to quantitatively evaluate the motion state by detecting physiological signals during human crawling,but there is a lack of overview on human crawling motion signal acquisition and processing.Herein the detection and processing methods for motion signals during human crawling and relevant researches are reviewed.The mainstream methods for detecting motion signals during human crawling are introduced from the perspectives of inertial sensors,pressure sensors,and surface electromyography.Then,the signal processing and analysis such as periodic segmentation,kinematic analysis,and dynamic analysis in human crawling are summarized.Based on the theory of motion coordination,the research advances in joint synergy and muscle synergy during human crawling are elaborated.Finally,the current problems and future development directions of motion analysis for human crawling are discussed.
