BACKGROUND:Functional training has been popular in recent years,but it is mainly applied in sports training field.There are still insufficient studies and applications in medical and health fields. OBJECTIVE:To provide a theoretical basis for relevant research in sports,medical and health fields,through a more comprehensive and in-depth exploration and analysis of the research hot spots,ideological trends,frontiers and development trends of international functional training in the field of medical and health care. METHODS:The 2 206 high-quality articles addressing health-related functional training during 2012-2022 were exported from the Web of Science Core Set Database as the object of analysis.Combined with research methods such as literature analysis,Citespace V analysis software was used for visual analysis of keywords,subject categories and highly cited literatures. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The number of articles published on functional training in the field of health is on the rise.There are more articles from the United States,with a larger impact.China also has a high volume of publications,but the impact and depth of research is lacking.Improving physical and mental health and cognitive ability of middle-aged and older people is the main focus,followed by preventing sports injuries and promoting recovery in athletes.In the future,more research will be conducted on teenagers,the disabled and other groups,and there will be a continued increase in injury prevention and recovery promotion for athletes.Chinese scholars have less research on the effects of functional training on the physical health of the general public,and more attention should be paid to improving the physical and mental health of the general public.

Objective To explore the effect of intestinal nitrates on the growth of Klebsiella pneumoniae and its regulatory mechanisms. Methods K. pneumoniae strains with nitrate reductase narG and narZ single or double gene knockout or with NarXL gene knockout were constructed and observed for both aerobic and anaerobic growth in the presence of KNO3 using an automated bacterial growth analyzer and a spectrophotometer, respectively. The mRNA expressions of narG and narZ in K. pneumoniae in anaerobic cultures in the presence of KNO3 and the effect of the binary regulatory system NarXL on their expresisons were detected using qRT-PCR. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) and MST analysis were performed to explore the specific regulatory mechanisms of NarXL in sensing and utilizing nitrates. Competitive experiments were conducted to examine anaerobic growth advantages of narG and narZ gene knockout strains of K. pneumoniae in the presence of KNO3. Results The presence of KNO3 in anaerobic conditions, but not in aerobic conditions, promoted bacterial growth more effectively in the wild-type K. pneumoniae strain than in the narXL gene knockout strain. In anaerobic conditions, the narXL gene knockout strain showed significantly lowered mRNA expressions of narG and narZ (P<0.0001). EMSA and MST experiments demonstrated that the NarXL regulator could directly bind to narG and narZ promoter regions. The wild-type K. pneumoniae strain in anaerobic cultures showed significantly increased expressions of narG and narZ mRNAs in the presence of KNO3 (P<0.01), and narG gene knockout resulted in significantly attenuated anaerobic growth and competitive growth abilities of K. pneumoniae in the presence of KNO3 (P<0.01). Conclusion The binary regulatory system NarXL of K. pneumoniae can sense changes in intestinal nitrate concentration and directly regulate the expression of nitrate reductase genes narG and narZ to promote bacterial growth.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness of medical simulation for improving the quality of standardized residency training during clinical anesthesia rotation.Methods:Thirty-six newly admitted anesthesia residents in 2019 were randomly divided into control group and simulation training group, with 18 people in each group. During a week of admission training, the control group learned theoretical knowledge such as sterile techniques, and observed practical videos about central venous puncture, tracheal intubation, spinal puncture, nerve block, and other skills; and the simulation training group practiced the above skills with intelligent medical simulators in the simulation operating room. After a month of rotation, the trainees were assessed on sterile techniques, invasive procedures, and humanistic care, and questionnaires were used to survey the self-rated and teacher-rated scores of their performance. SPSS 22.0 was used to perform the t test and χ2 test. Results:The simulation training group was superior to the control group in terms of the operating processes of tracheal intubation, deep vein puncture, and spinal puncture [(74.16±2.35) vs. (76.05±1.89); (20.22±1.43) vs. (18.61±1.78); (23.17±0.78) vs. (21.11±1.13)], the overall scores of deep vein puncture and spinal puncture [(22.78±1.68) vs. (20.83±1.42); (23.28±0.75) vs. (21.83±1.09)], and the hand-eye coordination and operating time of nerve block [(15.78±1.38) vs. (14.33±1.51); (15.28±1.30) vs. (13.39±1.40)].Conclusions:Medical simulation training can significantly improve the post competencies of anesthesia residents to enter clinical rotation, which is worth further promotion.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of arthroscopy combined with sodium hyaluronate and platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of Stoller grade III meniscus injury.Methods:Sixty patients with Stoller grade III meniscus injury who received treatment in The Second People's Hospital of Liaocheng from October 2019 to October 2020 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group ( n = 30 per group). Patients in the observation group were treated with arthroscopy combined with sodium hyaluronate and platelet-rich plasma, while patients in the control group were treated with arthroscopy combined with sodium hyaluronate. Before and 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score, Lysholm score, and The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) score of the knee joint were compared between the two groups. Results:There were no serious complications in each group. Compared with pre-treatment, the VAS and Lysholm scores of the knee joint in both groups significantly decreased at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery, while the WOMAC score showed a significant increase ( F = 514.96, 673.19, 96.31, 124.16, 230.99, 531.84, all P < 0.001). After 3 and 6 months of treatment, the VAS score in the observation group was (1.1 ± 0.5) points and (0.8 ± 0.4) points, respectively, which were significantly lower than (2.5 ± 0.7) points and (1.3 ± 0.5) points in the control group ( t = 8.91, 4.28, both P < 0.001). After 3 and 6 months of treatment, the Lysholm score of the knee joint in the observation group was (86.2 ± 9.1) points and (93.8 ± 13.2) points, respectively, which were significantly higher than (79.8 ± 11.3) points and (87.5 ± 9.2) points in the control group ( t = 2.42, 2.14, both P < 0.05). After 3 and 6 months of treatment, the WOMAC score in the observation group was (17.5 ± 3.6) points and (16.5 ± 3.2) points, respectively, which were significantly lower than (25.4 ± 5.2) points and (24.8 ± 6.4) points in the control group ( t = 6.84, 6.35, both P < 0.001). Conclusion:Arthroscopy combined with sodium hyaluronate and platelet-rich plasma is more effective in treating Stoller III grade meniscus injury than arthroscopy combined with sodium hyaluronate. The former therapy can be promoted in the clinic.

Background Global warming may increase the frequency of compound hot extreme (CHE).However, there is still a lack of studies assessing the associations between CHE and preterm birth (PTB), and the underlying biological mechanisms remain unclear. Objective To estimate the association of exposure to CHE during pregnancy with PTB, and to explore the roles of inflammatory, endothelial dysfunction, and oxidative stress in the association between CHE and PTB. Methods All participants were selected from the Prenatal Environments and Offspring Health (PEOH), a prospective birth cohort conducted in Guangzhou. In this study, a total of 2449 participants who gave birth from May to October in 2014 to 2017 were enrolled, and among them blood samples were collected from 311 preterm (n=43) and full-term (n=268) pregnant women at the time of delivery. A hot day/night was identified as a day when the daily maximum temperature/minimum temperature was higher than its 90th percentile in the study period, and a CHE was defined as having both a hot night and a following hot day. The meteorological data were obtained from the China Meteorological Data Sharing Service System. Anusplin was used to assess the daily maximum temperature, daily minimum temperature, and relative humidity of the participant residence. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure C reactive protein (CRP), endothelin-1 (ET-1), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in maternal serum, and their results were transformed by natural logarithm. A distributed lag nonlinear model was used to investigate the associations of exposures to hot day, hot night, and CHE during pregnancy with PTB at different lag days, and a logistic regression model was used to investigate the associations of CRP, ET-1, and MDA with PTB. Results The incidence rate of PTB was 6.2% in all selected participants. Compared with the non-hot day, the RRs (95%CIs) of CHE in lag 3, 7, and 14 days on PTB were 1.43 (1.12-1.84), 1.24 (1.08-1.43), and 1.17 (1.05-1.30), respectively, and the cumulative effects (% difference) (95%CI) of CHE in lag 14 days on maternal serum CRP, ET-1, and MDA were 0.33% (−0.45%-1.12%), 0.59% (0.11%-1.07%), and 0.57% (0.09%-1.05%), respectively. Compared with the Q1 (lowest quartile) for CRP, ET-1 and MDA, the RRs (95%CIs) of Q4 (highest quartile) for PTB were 1.27 (0.50-3.22), 1.51 (0.61-3.72), and 2.07(0.81-5.27), respectively. Conclusion Maternal exposure to CHE during pregnancy might be associated with an increased risk of PTB. Prenatal exposure to CHE is positively associated with maternal serum CRP, ET-1, and MDA, and the three biochemical indicators are also positively associated with PTB. However, the above conclusions still need further confirmation.

【Objective】 To provide reference for formulating preoperative blood preparation plan for malignant osteosarcoma scientifically and rationally under the persistent COVID-19 epidemic by studying the high-risk influencing factors related to intraoperative blood transfusion in patients with primary malignant osteosarcoma. 【Methods】 The general data, preoperative blood routine and coagulation parameter, clinicopathological record and surgical data of 120 patients with primary malignant osteosarcoma in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from January 2020 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed by univariate analysis, multivariate regression analysis and Pearson correlation analysis to determine the high risk factors for intraoperative blood transfusion in patients with primary malignant osteosarcoma. 【Results】 The incidence of intraoperative and postoperative blood transfusion of malignant osteosarcoma patients were 48.33% (58/120) and 62.50% (75/120), with the average blood transfusion units at (1.36±1.14) U and (2.93±2.26) U, respectively. The univariate analysis showed that such factors as sex, preoperative Hct (%), preoperative Plt (×109/L), location of lesion, Huvos classification, incision length (cm), reconstruction length(cm) and intraoperative blood loss (mL) were significantly different (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that sex, location of lesion, Huvos classification, incision length (cm), reconstruction length(cm) and intraoperative blood loss (mL) were significantly different (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 For primary malignant osteosarcoma with a high rate of intraoperative blood transfusion, early intervention should be carried out according to the high-risk factors of intraoperative blood transfusion, and preoperative blood preparation plan should be accurately formulated to effectively reduce the rate and units of blood transfusion in patients under the premise of surgery safety.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between degrees of biliary obstruction and levels of lipid peroxidation in patients.Methods:A total of 140 patients of both sexes, with biliary obstruction, without biliary puncture and drainage, aged 40-64 yr, with body mass index of 18.5-23.9 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ, were selected.The patients with different degrees of biliary obstruction were divided into 4 groups ( n=35 each) according to Child-Pugh grade total bilirubin (TBIL) concentrations: group A (TBIL<17 μmol/L), group B (17 μmol/L≤TBIL<34 μmol/L), group C (34 μmol/L≤TBIL<51 μmol/L) and group D (TBIL≥51 μmol/L). The serum TBIL, direct bilirubin (DBIL), indirect bilirubin (IBIL), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bile acid (TBA) and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations were measured.The correlation between serum MDA concentration and degree of biliary obstruction was tested by Spearman correlation analysis. Results:Compared with group A and group B, the serum DBIL, IBIL, ALT, AST, TBA and MDA concentrations were significantly increased in group C and group D ( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the parameters mentioned above between group A and group B ( P>0.05). Compared with group C, the serum DBIL, IBIL, ALT, AST, TBA and MDA concentrations were significantly increased in group D ( P<0.05). Serum MDA concentration was positively correlated with degree of biliary obstruction ( r=0.54, P<0.05). Conclusion:The degree of biliary obstruction can reflect the level of lipid peroxidation in patients.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of promotion effect of juglone combined with cisplatin on the apoptosis of human cervical cancer HeLa cells,and to clarify the effects of its associated signal transduction pathways.Methods:The HeLa cells at logarithmic growth phase were divided into control group,juglone group, cisplatin group and juglone combined with cisplatin group (combined treatment group).The inhibitory rates of proliferation of HeLa cells were detected by MTT assay.The apoptosis was detected by Hoechst 33258 staining. The expressions of Bcl-2, Bax and caspase-3, AKt, and pAKt were detected by Western blotting method. Results:The MTT results showed that the HeLa cell proliferation at 24,48 72 h in each drug group was inhibited;compared with control group,the profileration of HeLa cells in juglone group and cisplatin group was significantly inhibited,especially in combined group. Compared with single drug group,the inhibitory effect in combined treatment group was more significantly.After treatment for 12 h,the typical morphological changes of apoptosis were found in juglone group and cisplatin group by Hoechst 33258 staining,especially in combined treatment group. The Western blotting results showed that the expression levels of Bcl-2 and pAKt in HeLa cells in juglone group and cisplatin group 12 h after treatment were decreased obviously,whereas the expression levels of Bax,Caspase-3,and AKt were increased significantly, especially in combined treatment group compared with control group. Conclusion:Juglone combined with cisplatin could inhibit the PI3K/AKt pathway,thereby promoting the apoptpsis of HeLa cells.
