BACKGROUND:The sports medicine community has widely called for the use of machine learning technology to efficiently process the huge and complicated sports data resources,and construct intelligent sports injury prediction models,enabling accurate early warning of sports injuries.It is of great significance to comprehensively summarize and review such research results so as to grasp the direction of early warning model improvement and to guide the construction of sports injury prediction models in China. OBJECTIVE:To systematically review and analyze relevant research on sports injury prediction models based on machine learning technology,thereby providing references for the development of sports injury prediction models in China. METHODS:Literature search was conducted on CNKI,Web of Science and EBSCO databases,which mainly searched for literature related to machine learning techniques and sports injuries.Finally,61 articles related to sports injury prediction models were included for analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In terms of external risk feature indicators,there is a lack of competition scenario indicators,and the inclusion of related feature indicators needs to be further improved to further enrich the dimensions of the dataset for model training.In addition,the inclusion feature weighting methods of the sports injury prediction model are mainly based on filtering methods and the use of embedding and wrapping weighting methods needs to be strengthened in order to enhance the analysis of the interaction effects of multiple risk factors.(2)In terms of model body training,supervised learning algorithms become the mainstream choice.Such algorithms have higher requirements for the completeness of sample labeling information,and the application scenarios are easily limited.Therefore,the application of unsupervised and semi-supervised algorithms can be increased in the later stage.(3)In terms of model performance evaluation and optimization,the current studies mainly adopt two verification methods:HoldOut crossover and k-crossover.The range of AUC values is(0.76±0.12),the range of sensitivity is(75.92±11.03)%,the range of specificity is(0.03±4.54)%,the range of F1 score is(80.60±10.63)%,the range of accuracy is(69.96±13.10)%,and the range of precision is(70±14.71)%.Data augmentation and feature optimization are the most common model optimization operations.The accuracy and precision of the current sports injury prediction model are about 70%,and the early warning effect is good.However,the model optimization operation is relatively single,and data augmentation methods are often used to improve model performance.Further adjustments to the model algorithm and hyperparameters are needed to further improve model performance.(4)In terms of model feature extraction,most of the internal risk profile indicators included are mainly based on anthropometrics,training load,years of training,and injury history,but there is a lack of sports recovery and physical function indicators.

Intestinal aging is central to systemic aging, characterized by a progressive decline in intestinal structure and function. The core mechanisms involve dysregulation of epithelial cell renewal and gut microbiota dysbiosis. In addition to previous results in model organisms like Drosophila melanogaster, recent studies have shown that in mammalian models, aging causes increased intestinal permeability and intestinal-derived systemic inflammation, thereby affecting longevity. Therefore, anti-intestinal aging can be an important strategy for reducing frailty and promoting longevity. There are three key gaps remaining in the study of intestinal aging: (1) overemphasis on aging-related diseases rather than the primary aging mechanisms; (2) lack of specific drugs or treatments to prevent or treat intestinal aging; (3) limited aging-specific dysbiosis research. In this review, the basic structures and renewal mechanisms of intestinal epithelium, and mechanisms and potential therapies for intestinal aging are discussed to advance understanding of the causes, consequences, and treatments of age-related intestinal dysfunction.

Objective To investigate the protective effects and mechanisms of soybean phospholipid powder on nerve cells in vitro and rats neural tissues.Methods In the cell experiments, the cytotoxicity of soybean phospho-lipid powder with different concentrations on mouse microglia cells (BV2) and rat adrenal pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells was observed by cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) assay.The effect of soybean phospholipid powder on the NO level of BV2 cells was analyzed by NO determination experiment, and the synaptic growth of PC12 cells was observed under the microscope.In the animal experiment, the cognitive dysfunction of rat was simulated by scopol-amine rat model.Then the learning and memory abilities of rat were tested by Morris water maze experiment;hipp-ocampal tissue morphology and nerve cell density of scopolamine model mice were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE) staining.Results Soybean phospholipid powder had no obvious cytotoxicity on BV2 cells and PC12 cells within the concentration of 1000μg/ml.Compared with the control group, the NO secretion of BV2 cells pre-treated with soybean phospholipid powder significantly decreased (P<0.01) , and the neuronal synapse growth of PC12 cells significantly increased (P <0.01) .In comparison to the model group, soybean phospholipid powder significantly improved the learning and memory ability of scopolamine model rats (P<0.05) , reduced the neuronal damage in dentate gyrus (DG), cornu ammonis3 (CA3), cornu ammonis1 (CA1) areas of hippocampus, and in-creased the density of nerve cells (P<0.001).Conclusion Soybean phospholipid powder can play a neuropro-tective role by reducing neuroinflammation and promoting neuronal synapse growth at the cellular level, and im-prove the learning and memory ability of rats with cognitive impairment, reduce hippocampal tissue damage.

Objective To analyze the risk of return to sport in athletes using their gait data following anterior cruciate ligament re-construction(ACLR). Methods From May to June,2023,39 athletes after ACLR were recruited in Wuhan Sports University.Their data on sta-ble gait and tandem gait were recorded using a three-dimensional motion capture system,surface electromyogra-phy and a three-dimensional ergometer table.Additionally,return-to-sport scores were calculated using the K-STARTS test.The relationship between each gait indicator and the total score of the K-STARTS test was ana-lyzed with Pearson correlation analysis.Furthermore,the key indicators related to the risk of return to sport were analyzed using linear regression. Results In the stable gait test,the step time was negatively correlated with the total score of K-STARTS(r=-0.479,P=0.002),and the peak amplitude symmetry index of rectus femoris(r=0.448,P=0.004)and vastus lateralis(r=0.595,P=0.001)were positively correlated with the total score of K-STARTS.In the tandem gait test,the lateral displacement distance of the center of gravity was negatively correlated with the total score of K-STARTS(r=-0.341,P=0.034),and the time symmetry index of peak amplitude of vastus lateralis was positively correlated with the total score of K-STARTS(r=0.320,P=0.047).Regression analysis showed that the interpretation of the model based on stable gait(F=15.818,P=0.001,R2=0.650)was better than that based on tandem gait(F=7.692,P=0.001,R2=0.397). Conclusion In stable gait,gait rhythm variability and symmetry are correlated with return to sport risk.In tandem gait,gait balance and symmetry indexes are correlated with return-to-sport risk.Compared with tandem gait,the inter-pretation of return-to-sport risk assessment model based on stable gait information is better,and may be more suitable as a simple return-to-sport risk test method.

ObjectiveTo investigate the difference in bilateral lower limb muscle synergy mode during gait in patients after unilateral anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. MethodsElectromyography from bilateral lower limb muscles during gait were collected from twelve male and eight female patients after unilateral anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in Affiliated Hospital of Wuhan Sports University, from April to June, 2023. The data were analyzed using non-negative matrix decomposition algorithm to extract the number of muscle synergies in the affected and unaffected legs, the time to peak activation of muscle synergies and the relative weights of the muscles. ResultsSix types of muscle synergy were identified in the unaffected leg of males during gait, while five types were identified in the affected leg, lacking synergy 2 that mainly from the tibialis anterior muscle. Six types of muscle synergy were identified in both legs in females during gait. There was no significant difference in the time to peak activation of muscle synergies between both legs in males (P > 0.05). However, the time to peak activation of muscle synergies increased in females in the affected leg for synergy 3 and synergy 5 (P < 0.05). The relative weight of the rectus femoris was lower in synergy 1 in the affected leg in males (P < 0.05). For female, the relative weight of the vastus lateralis was higher and the relative weight of the biceps femoris was lower in synergy 2 in the affected leg in females (P < 0.05); while the relative weight of the rectus femoris was lower in synergy 3 (P < 0.05), and the relative weight of the biceps femoris was lower in synergy 6 (P < 0.05). ConclusionMales would freeze the muscle synergy dominating ankle dorsiflexion in affected leg to enhance ankle stability, and reduce the relative weight of rectus femoris during the loading response phase to weaken the knee landing cushioning. However, females would delay the activation of synergies dominating in loading response phase and the mid-stance phase, enhance the relative weight of vastus lateralis during the loading response phase, and reduce the relative weights of rectus femoris in the loading response phase and the relative weight of biceps femoris in the mid-stance phase, to limit knee flexion.

BACKGROUND:Transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS),as a non-invasive brain stimulation technique,can enhance human muscle strength or improve single-leg landing stability instantly,but no relevant research has demonstrated this yet. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of tDCS on the stability of single-leg landings in human subjects. METHODS:Male undergraduate students from Wuhan Sports University were recruited as study participants.They were divided into two groups,A(n=6)and B(n=5),using a random number table.Group A underwent a sham stimulation session followed by a 3-day washout period,after which they received tDCS.Conversely,Group B received tDCS initially,followed by a 3-day washout period,and subsequently underwent the sham stimulation session.Following the respective stimulation sessions,an immediate single-leg landing test was administered to assess and collect biomechanical parameters.Data resulting from the tDCS intervention were aggregated and analyzed as the experimental group dataset,whereas data stemming from the sham stimulation were consolidated as the control group dataset. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Regarding core stability,the tDCS intervention showed a significant interaction with landing height on the maximal trunk flexion angle(P＜0.05).A paired comparison of the data showed a significant decrease in the maximum trunk flexion angle following true stimulation compared to sham stimulation at a 30-cm landing height.Additionally,the tDCS intervention had a significant main effect on the maximum trunk lateral bending angle and the mean trunk lateral bending angular velocity(P＜0.05).Following true stimulation,there was a significant decrease in the maximum trunk lateral bending angle and the mean trunk lateral bending angular velocity compared to sham stimulation.In terms of lower limb joint stability,the tDCS intervention had a significant main effect on the maximum dynamic ankle valgus angle(P＜0.05).This resulted in a significant decrease in the angle following true stimulation compared to sham stimulation.In addition,the tDCS intervention had a significant main effect on the peak muscle activation of the lateral head of the gastrocnemius lateralis(P＜0.05).This showed a significant increase after true stimulation compared to sham stimulation.An interaction between the tDCS intervention and landing height was observed for the peak muscle activation of the tibialis anterior(P＜0.05).Paired comparison analyses revealed a significant increase in muscle activation after true stimulation specifically at a 60-cm landing height.Regarding center of pressure stability,there were no significant interactions or main effects of the tDCS intervention on the mean lateral displacement,mean lateral displacement velocity,mean anterior-posterior displacement,or mean anterior-posterior displacement velocity at the center of pressure(P＞0.05).Furthermore,the tDCS intervention had no significant main effects on any of the center of pressure indicators(P＞0.05).In conclusion,tDCS can immediately improve core stability and lower limb joint stability during single-leg landing,making it an effective warm-up technique for improving single-leg landing stability and reducing the risk of lower limb injuries.

Objective:To summarize the genetic and phenotypic features of MORC family CW-type zinc finger 2 (MORC2) gene-related neuropathy in Chinese patients. Methods:The clinical and whole exome sequencing data of MORC2 gene-related neuropathy families with a definitive genetic diagnosis were collected from the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University between 2010 and 2023. Literature involving Chinese families with MORC2 gene-related neuropathy was extensively reviewed to provide a comprehensive summary of the genetic and phenotypic spectrum of the disease. Results:A total of 10 families with MORC2 gene-related neuropathy were identified and analyzed. Six different heterozygous pathogenic variants in the MORC2 gene were observed among these families, including the novel variant c.1330G>C (p.G444R) that had not been previously reported. Six families presented as axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease caused by variants in the MORC2 gene (CMT2Z) phenotype with childhood or adult onset, and carried variants c.754C>T (p.R252W), c.1199A>G (p.Q400R), c.1330G>C (p.G444R), or c.1396G>A (p. D466N); 3 families manifested as severe spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)-like phenotype with infantile onset, all carried c.260C>T (p.S87L); 1 family carried c.1181A>G (p.Y394C), presented as DIGFAN syndrome phenotype with infantile onset combined with mental and motor retardation. Systematic review showed 8 Chinese families carried pathogenic variants of the MORC2 gene, among which 5 families were associated with the CMT2Z phenotype, carrying c.754C>T (p.R252W), c.1079A>G (p.E360G), c.1220G>A (p.C407Y), or c.1397A>G (p.D466G); 1 family was associated with SMA-like phenotype, carrying c.260C>T (p.S87L); and 2 families were associated with DIGFAN syndrome, carrying c.79G>A (p.E27K) and c.292G>A (p.G98R). Conclusions:A novel pathogenic variant c.1330G>C (p.G444R) of the MORC2 gene associated with the CMT2 phenotype is reported. Eleven pathogenic variants of the MORC2 gene have been reported in the Chinese patients to date, and c.754C>T(p.R252W) may be the most common. Patients with MORC2 gene-related neuropathy carrying different variants present with significant clinical heterogeneity, manifesting as CMT2Z, early-onset severe SMA-like myasthenia, or DIGFAN syndrome.
