Objective To classify the foot types of young Chinese males,extract characteristic indicators of foot types,and construct a standard foot type database.Methods Foot type data from 1 483 healthy young male individuals were collected.Spectral clustering algorithm was utilized to categorize foot types,and a deep neural network(DNN)was employed for training the classification model.Layer-wise relevance propagation(LRP)and the correlation coefficient method were combined to extract foot type features,and the differences in various foot type characteristics were compared.Results Spectral clustering yielded 4 distinct foot type categories.Foot type 1 was characterized by a high-arched foot with a prominent big toe,inwardly rotated 5th toe,and a high heel with a wide foot;foot type 2 was characterized by a narrow foot with hallux valgus;foot type 3 was characterized by a low-arched foot with hallux valgus;foot type 4 was characterized by a high-arched foot with a prominent big toe.By integrating interpretable neural networks and the correlation coefficient method,nine indicators were extracted from 27 foot type indicators,including the heel to the sole length,hallux height,navicular bone height,lateral malleolus height,hallux valgus angle,5th toe angle,dorsal foot circumference,heel angle,and longitudinal arch angle.The classification model constructed with these extracted indicators achieved an overall discrimination accuracy rate of 93.67%.Conclusions Chinese young males can be classified into four typical foot types.By examining the rearfoot,midfoot,and forefoot regions,nine key foot morphology parameters,including length,height,circumference,and angle,can be extracted.These parameters provide both theoretical and empirical support for establishing normative data on foot morphology for Chinese young males and for advancing biomechanical researches on the foot and ankle.

Objective To explore the correlation between single-leg standing posture control and ankle plantar flexor muscle stability,so as to provide a new theoretical basis for improving the ability of human posture control.Methods A total of 20 healthy male college students were randomly selected as the experimental subjects.The iBalance tester and training system was used to test the trajectory data of the center of pressure(COP)of the foot standing on one leg.The CON-TREX MJ multi-joint isokinetic test and training system was used to test the moment amplitude data during the contraction of ankle plantar flexor muscles.Univariate repeated measures variance analysis was used to analyze the standard deviation data of ankle plantar flexor moment amplitude between groups.The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to study the correlation.Results The greater the intensity of the muscle stabilization task performed by the ankle plantar flexor muscle,the greater the standard deviation of the moment amplitude.The C90 area was positively correlated with the coefficient of variation(CV)of the 10%maximum voluntary contraction(MVC)moment of ankleplantar flexor muscle(r=0.761,P<0.05)during single-leg standing without interference.The C90 area was positively correlated with the CV(r=0.632,P<0.05)of the 30%MVC moment of ankle plantar flexor muscle during single-leg standing.When the proprioception was interfered during single-leg standing,the C90 area was positively correlated with the CV(r=0.583,P<0.05)of the 20%MVC moment amplitude of ankleplantar flexor muscle.Conclusions With the increasing difficulty of muscle strength stabilization performed by the ankle plantar flexor muscles,muscle stability decreases.There is a positive correlation between ankle plantar flexor strength stability and single-leg standing posture control.Compared with the case without interference,under visual and proprioceptive interference,an additional information input is reduced or disturbed,and it is more difficult to maintain body balance,and the ankle plantar flexor muscle needs a higher muscle stability in the force mode to participate in the posture control of the human body during single-leg standing.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of Xihuang Pill/Capsule (西黄丸/胶囊, XP/XC) as an adjuvant to radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy in the treatment of malignant digestive tract tumors. MethodsA systematic search was conducted in the China Biomedical Literature Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, VIP Database, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published before March 6, 2024, regarding the use of XP/XC in clinical adjuvant treatment of malignant digestive tract tumors. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the risk of bias assessment tool. RevMan 5.4 was used to perform a Meta-analysis on 1-year survival rate, 2-year survival rate, clinical efficacy, including objective response rate and disease control rate, Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) score, immune markers (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, and CD4+/CD8+ ratio), and adverse event rates (incidence of gastrointestinal reactions and bone marrow suppression). ResultsThirteen RCTs involving 962 patients were included, with 527 patients in the experimental group and 435 patients in the control group. Meta-analysis results showed that the experimental group had better outcomes than the control group in terms of 2-year survival rate [RR = 0.49, 95% CI (0.31, 0.78)], objective response rate [RR = 0.68, 95% CI (0.60, 0.77)], disease control rate [RR = 0.85, 95% CI (0.80, 0.91)], and immune markers CD3+ [MD = -7.99, 95% CI (-9.12, -6.86)], CD4+ [MD = -5.42, 95% CI (-7.11, -3.74)], and CD4+/CD8+ ratio [MD = -0.26, 95% CI (-0.32, -0.20)] (P<0.05). However, no statistically significant differences were found between the experimental and control groups in terms of 1-year survival rate [RR = 0.91, 95% CI (0.73, 1.14)], KPS [MD = -3.73, 95% CI (-8.67, 1.21)], CD8+ [MD = -0.53, 95% CI (-1.45, 0.39)], incidence of gastrointestinal reactions [RR = 0.82, 95% CI (0.46, 1.46)], and incidence of bone marrow suppression [RR = 0.93, 95% CI (0.72, 1.20)] (P>0.05). ConclusionCompared with radiotherapy/chemotherapy alone, the combination of XP/XC with radiotherapy/chemotherapy can effectively improve clinical efficacy and 2-year survival rate, enhance immune function, and achieve similar adverse event rates as radiotherapy/chemotherapy alone in patients with malignant digestive tract tumors.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a common gynecological malignant tumor in clinical practice. In the early stage,it is often asymptomatic,while in the late stage,it mainly presents with non-specific symptoms such as abdominal distension,poor appetite,and dull abdominal pain. Some patients may also have cachexia such as weight loss and anemia. Early diagnosis is difficult,and the mortality rate ranks first among gynecological malignant tumors,making OC a major challenge in clinical treatment. The classic Chinese medicine formula Guizhi Fulingwan comes from the Jingui Yaolue and has the effects of promoting blood circulation,removing blood stasis,and reducing abdominal lumps. In recent years,it has been widely used to treat OC with good results. This article summarized the clinical application of Guizhi Fulingwan in the treatment of OC from two aspects:The analysis of its basic prescriptions and clinical research. In terms of basic prescriptions,the formula has the ability to promote blood circulation,remove blood stasis,and reduce abdominal lumps. It can exert therapeutic effects considering both water and blood aspects and reduce abdominal lumps, with characteristics of simultaneous Yang warming and heat clearing and parallel supplementation and elimination. Through the methods of "circulation" and "supplementation", it strengthens the body,dispels evil,and eliminates underlying symptoms. In clinical studies,Guizhi Fulingwan can be applied to various stages of patients with OC,which not only promotes the recovery of the body after OC surgery but also can be combined with chemotherapy and immunotherapy to synergistically treat advanced OC and enhance treatment efficacy. In addition,the formula can also alleviate various adverse reactions caused by chemotherapy,with high safety,improve patients' quality of life,prolong survival,and optimize tumor control effects. Based on the above analysis,this article elaborated on the current clinical research status of Guizhi Fulingwan combined with Western medicine in the treatment of OC and proposed suggestions and improvements to address the shortcomings in current clinical research,so as to provide reference for the clinical application of this formula in the treatment of OC and the construction of a combined traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment model.
