Objective To explore the peak moment characteristics of lower limb joints,as well as the contribution rate and compensation mechanism of lower limb joints when older adults with a history of falls cross obstacles at different paces.Methods Thirty healthy older adults and 30 eldely fallers were recruited.The Qualisys infrared high-speed motion capture system and the Kistler three-dimensional force platform were used to collect the biomechanical data of the older adults when they crossed an obstacle with a height of 15%of their height at three walking speeds(1.05,1.41,1.74 m/s).The data were then modeled and analyzed using Visual 3D software.Results As walking speed increased,the peak knee extension moment,peak ankle plantar flexion moment,and double peak value of hip flexion moment in healthy group all increased significantly(P<0.05).Compared with healthy group,the double peak values of hip flexion moment in faller group were significantly smaller than those in healthy group(P<0.05).During walking at moderate speed,the contribution rate of the left hip joint in faller group was significantly higher than that of healthy group(P=0.025),while the contribution rate of the ankle joint was significantly lower(P=0.044).The margin of stability in the anterior-posterior direction at the moment of ground contact of the stance leg and the stride leg increased with walking speed(P=0.007,P=0.002).Conclusions Compared with healthy older adults,the elderly fallers have lower peak torque,peak ground reaction force,and dynamic stability in the anterior-posterior direction.As the walking speed increases,the mechanical parameters and the margin of stability of older adults increase significantly,and walking stability is improved.Compared with healthy older adults,elderly fallers usually rely more on the contribution of hip joint movements and reduce the involvement of ankle joints.It is recommended to incorporate fast walking exercises into the daily fall prevention exercise program for older adults,with combination of coordinated training of the hip,knee,and ankle joints.

Objective :
To investigate the effects of cinnamaldehyde(CA) on the growth, metastasis and apoptosis of human endometriosis(EMs) cells and to explore whether the mechanism is related to ribosomal protein S7(RPS7) expression.
Methods :
Endometriosis cells were divided into control group, CA group, sh-NC group, CA+sh-RPS7 group. Effects of CA on cell growth in human endometriotic cells were determined using Cell Counting Kit-8(CCK-8) and colony formation assay. Effects of CA on cell metastasis were performed by motility assay and Transwell assay. Effects of CA on cell apoptosis were evaluated by Hoechst 33258 staining and flow cytometry. Meanwhile, the levels of PCNA, E-cadherin, Vimentin, Bax and Bcl-2 were evaluated using Western blot in human endometriotic cells with treatment CA. The expression of RPS7 was detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot assay. The RPS7 overexpression of human endometriotic cells was established by cell transfection. CA-mediated effects on cell proliferation and apoptosis were determined by CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry in human endometriotic cells with RPS7 overexpression.
Results :
CA repressed cell growth as well as down-regulated PCNA. The half inhibitory concentration(IC50) value was 53.60 μmol/L after 24 h treatment, and colony formation rate was 25.32%. Additionally, CA inhibited metastasis which was associated with downregulated Vimentin and upregulated E-cadherin. The relative migration rates were 35% and 29% as well as invasion rate was 40%. Further, CA induced apoptosis by cell cycle G2/M phase arrest and cell apoptosis rate was 25.1%, which related to the up-regulation of of Bax and the down-regulation of Bcl-2. CA inhibited the expression of RPS7 and overexpression of RPS7 promoted cell proliferation and suppressed apoptosis in CA-mediated cells.
Conclusion
CA inhibits cell growth, metastasis, and induces cell apoptosis by downregulating the expression of RPS7.

Objective:To construct and evaluate the predictive performance of a multiphase ultrasound radiomics model for microvascular invasion(MVI)in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods:A total of 126 patients with pathologically confirmed HCC were retrospectively enrolled from 4 medical centers between May 2018 and July 2025,including the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University,Shanxi Province Third People's Hospital,Changzhi People's Hospital,and the Organ Transplant Center of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University. A total of 630 ultrasound images of the lesions in different phases were collected,from which 1 561 radiomic features were extracted. The patients from medical institutions in Shanxi Province were chosen as the training set( n=91),and the patients from the Organ Transplant Center of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University were chosen as the validation set( n=35). In the training set,37.4%(34/91)patients presented MVI(+),whereas in the validation set,54.3%(19/35)patients presented MVI(+). Radiomics features were extracted from ultrasound images,and features related to the MVI(+)were selected through dimensionality reduction analysis. Five multiple machine learning algorithms were used to construct predictive models,which were then evaluated using an external validation set. The Radscore was calculated,and a nomogram was constructed combining Radscore with ultrasound and clinical characteristics to predict MVI. Results:The model combining radiomics features from the portal venous phase and the delay phase showed the best predictive performance in both the training and validation sets,with area under curve(AUC)values of 0.835 and 0.727,respectively. The prediction model developed using radiomics Radscore and clinical indicators could be represented and presented as a nomogram.Conclusions:The radiomics model based on multi-phase ultrasound offers a novel approach for non-invasive preoperative prediction of MVI in liver cancer. Furthermore,its integration with clinical features aids in optimizing clinical treatment strategies.

The research of damp-heat syndrome in modern TCM mainly focuses on inflammatory response, water metabolism, lipid metabolism, hemorheology, intestinal flora and so on. Modern omics techniques such as metabolomics and genomics provide a new perspective for the exploration of the micro-mechanism of damp-heat syndrome. The study found that the abnormal expression of aquaporin is closely related to the formation of "dampness" in damp-heat syndrome, and the release of inflammatory factors reflects the pathological characteristics of "heat". Damp-heat syndrome is often accompanied by dyslipidemia, hemorheological changes and intestinal flora imbalance, showing characteristic changes in urine, blood and saliva metabolomics, and there are differences in gene expression between damp-heat constitution and gentleness constitution. In the future, the pertinence and systematicness of research should be strengthened, the relationship between indicators should be deeply explored, build a biomarker system should be built, the immune-metabolic regulation mechanism should be explored, the multi-target mechanism of heat-clearing and dampness-removing Chinese materia medica should be clarified to further improve the damp-heat syndrome system, and provide theoretical support for clinical treatment.

Chinese Medical Journal 2023;136(15):1848-1854
BACKGROUND:
The HELIOS stent is a sirolimus-eluting stent with a biodegradable polymer and titanium oxide film as the tie-layer. The study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of HELIOS stent in a real-world setting.
METHODS:
The HELIOS registry is a prospective, multicenter, cohort study conducted at 38 centers across China between November 2018 and December 2019. A total of 3060 consecutive patients were enrolled after application of minimal inclusion and exclusion criteria. The primary endpoint was target lesion failure (TLF), defined as a composite of cardiac death, non-fatal target vessel myocardial infarction (MI), and clinically indicated target lesion revascularization (TLR) at 1-year follow-up. Kaplan-Meier methods were used to estimate the cumulative incidence of clinical events and construct survival curves.
RESULTS:
A total of 2998 (98.0%) patients completed the 1-year follow-up. The 1-year incidence of TLF was 3.10% (94/2998, 95% closed interval: 2.54-3.78%). The rates of cardiac death, non-fatal target vessel MI and clinically indicated TLR were 2.33% (70/2998), 0.20% (6/2998), and 0.70% (21/2998), respectively. The rate of stent thrombosis was 0.33% (10/2998). Age ≥60 years, diabetes mellitus, family history of coronary artery disease, acute myocardial infarction at admission, and device success were independent predictors of TLF at 1 year.
CONCLUSION:
The 1-year incidence rates of TLF and stent thrombosis were 3.10% and 0.33%, respectively, in patients treated with HELIOS stents. Our results provide clinical evidence for interventional cardiologists and policymakers to evaluate HELIOS stent.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2022;43(8):1202-1206
Objective:
To investigate the correlation between body composition and eating habits among medical students, and to provide evidence for health promotion.
Methods:
In December 2021, stratified cluster random sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey and body composition assessment among 445 students in grade one to grade four in Jining Medical University.
Results:
There were 152 girls (53.3%) and 45 boys (28.1%) with low skeletal muscle mass. Totally 167 students ( 37.5% ) had lower muscle mass, including 115 females (40.4%) and 49 males (30.6%). High body fat percentage was found in 259 (58.2%) students, including 179 females (62.8%) and 80 males (50.0%). There were 192 students (43.1%) with abnormal waist to hip ratio, with 139 females (48.8%) and 53 males (33.1%). In addition, emotional eating score of female students was significantly higher than that of male students(6.85±2.24, 6.11±2.69, t =2.96, P <0.05). Cognitive restricted eating was positively correlated with skeletal muscle mass and musde mass( r=0.13, 0.13, P <0.05). Emotional eating was positively correlated with body fat percentage, body fat and waist hip ratio( r =0.20, 0.20, 0.16, P <0.05). Unrestricted eating was positively correlated with body fat percentage, body fat and waist hip ratio( r =0.15, 0.18, 0.15, P <0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender, family residence, physical activity and cognitive eating were associated with skeletal muscle mass and muscle mass of medical students( P <0.05).
Conclusion
With low skeletal muscle mass, low muscle mass, body fat percentage and waist and hip high ratio, reasonable eating habits combined with resistance exercise should be adopted to improve their physical health.

Objective:To explore the effect of staged intervention based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) on breastfeeding self-efficacy and exclusive breastfeeding among women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) .Methods:From January to May 2019, continuous sampling was used to select 380 delivery women who were diagnosed with GDM in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria as the research object. According to the random number table method, the delivery women were divided into the control group and the intervention group, 190 cases in each group. The delivery women in the control group received routine breastfeeding health education, while the delivery women in the intervention group implemented the TPB-based staged intervention on the basis of routine breastfeeding health education. The exclusive breastfeeding rate, knowledge and self-efficacy were compared between the two groups. As of four months postpartum, 169 delivery women were included in the intervention group and 157 delivery women in the control group.Results:The exclusive breastfeeding rate of delivery women in the intervention group at four months postpartum was 63.3% (107/169) , which was higher than that [47.1% (74/157) ] in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . The breastfeeding knowledge scores of the intervention group and the control group were (15.01±2.04) and (13.05±2.78) respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01) . The GDM breastfeeding knowledge scores were (8.86±1.85) and (4.80±2.76) , and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01) . There were significant differences in breastfeeding self-efficacy scores between the two groups at 38 to 40 weeks before delivery, three days, 42 days, and four months after delivery ( P<0.01) . There were significant differences in the exclusive breastfeeding rates between the two groups of GDM women at different time points ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The staged intervention based on TPB can improve the effect of breastfeeding in GDM women, enhance maternal knowledge and self-efficacy, and increase the rate of exclusive breastfeeding.
