Rolling manipulation is one of the swing techniques with strong operational skills in massage therapy. This article summarized the biomechanical parameters and mechanism of the massage operation from multiple perspectives, including three-dimensional motion, force trajectory, dynamic parameters, force effect relationship, and mechanism. It is found that the massage operation could exert force in the vertical and horizontal directions of the body surface, and the movement trajectories of the front and back were generally symmetrical. The anterior force was approximately three times the retraction force, and the brachioradialis, pectoralis major, triceps, and deltoids were the main muscles that could exert force during manual manipulation. The method can have effects on hemodynamics, cellular anti-inflammatory effects, and improve the physiological function of tissues and organs. However, there is currently a lack of objective and unified norms and standards for the specific strength, frequency, and specific parameter combinations of massage methods, so the further improvement is still needed.

BACKGROUND:Static stretching effectively improves joint motion amplitude,dynamic stretching effectively improves muscle strength and athletic performance through the post-activation strengthening effect of the muscles.OBJECTIVE:To explore the immediate effects of different stretching methods on knee joint muscle strength and vertical jump performance,and provide theoretical support for seeking the best stretching plan,improving sports performance,and preventing training injuries.METHODS:Thirty healthy college students were randomly recruited.The Biodex isokinetic muscle strength system,Qualisys infrared motion capture system,and AMTI three-dimensional force measurement platform were used to collect knee joint muscle strength and vertical jump data after static quadriceps/hamstring stretching,dynamic quadriceps/hamstring stretching,dynamic quadriceps/static hamstring stretching,and static quadriceps/dynamic hamstring stretching.The peak torque,average power,vertical jump height,peak vertical ground reaction force,and joint motion amplitude of the knee joint were used to evaluate the muscle strength and vertical jump performance of the knee joint.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the static quadriceps/hamstring stretching,dynamic quadriceps/hamstring stretching significantly increased knee joint peak torque,average power,and vertical jump height(P<0.05);dynamic quadriceps/static hamstring stretching and static quadriceps/dynamic hamstring stretching significantly increased knee extension and flexion peak torque and average power(P<0.05).Compared with static quadriceps/hamstring stretching,second peak vertical ground reaction force significantly decreased after static quadriceps/dynamic hamstring stretching(P<0.05);lower limb joint motion amplitude significantly increased after dynamic quadriceps/hamstring stretching(P<0.05).These findings indicate that immediate agonists/antagonistic muscle dynamic stretching and agonists dynamic stretching/antagonistic muscle static stretching significantly improve knee joint muscle strength,vertical jump performance,and joint motion amplitude.A larger joint motion amplitude is beneficial for improving athletic performance and better absorbing ground impact during landing.At the same time,agonists muscle dynamic stretching/antagonistic muscle static stretching is better than agonists/antagonistic muscle dynamic stretching to improve knee joint muscle strength,and agonists muscle static stretching/antagonistic muscle dynamic stretching is beneficial for improving the energy absorption capacity during vertical jumping and reducing the risk of injury during landing.

Objective To investigate the association between cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)oligoclonal band(OCB)positivity and clinical manifestations in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder(NMOSD).Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical data from patients with NMOSD treated at our hospital from May 2019 to January 2024 was conducted.Based on OCB test results,patients were categorized into OCB-positive and OCB-negative groups.We compared baseline characteristics between the two groups and analyzed the relationship between clinical features and OCB positivity.Results This study included a total of 62 patients,comprising 17 in the OCB+group and 45 in the OCB-group.Compared with the OCB-group,patients in the OCB+group exhibited more pronounced central nervous system inflammatory features.Specifically,OCB+group had significantly higher proportions of patients with cerebrospinal fluid white blood cell counts>8×10?/L(64.7%vs.26.7%,P=0.003)and elevated immunoglobulin indices(0.72 vs.0.61,P=0.037).Additionally,the OCB+group exhibited more complex and diverse clinical presentations.Specifically,this group showed a higher incidence of mild consciousness impairment during the acute phase(P=0.005)and a greater tendency to present with multiple core symptoms(≥3 core symptoms)occurring concurrently(52.9%vs.20.0%,P=0.025)and misdiagnosis(29.4%vs.8.9%,P=0.101).This was particularly notable when comparing to acute myelitis involving the cervical spinal cord(82.4%vs.53.3%,P=0.036)and acute diencephalic syndrome[41.2%vs.6.7%,P=0.004,including hyponatremia(35.3%vs.8.9%,P=0.033)].Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that OCB positivity(OR=3.895,95%CI:1.065-14.249)was significantly associated with the presence of multiple core symptoms.Conclusion In acute-phase NMOSD patients,OCB+is associated with significantly higher rates of co-occurrence of multiple core symptoms(≥3 core symptoms)and misdiagnosis.Notably,acute myelitis involving the cervical spinal cord and acute diencephalic clinical syndrome are particularly prevalent in this OCB+subgroup.The clinical manifestations are complex and diverse,suggesting the need for enhanced clinical identification and timely intervention.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of adult dental fluorosis in drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis areas of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.Methods:A case-control study was conducted in January 2024 to select adult fluorosis patients (case group) and healthy individuals (control group) from the drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis areas in Helinger County, Hohhot City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region as the survey subjects. Urine samples were collected to determine urinary fluoride concentration. A questionnaire survey was conducted. SPSS 25.0 software was used for χ 2 test and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) was used to analyze the association between urinary fluoride concentration and the risk of dental fluorosis in adults. Results:A total of 161 individuals were included in the survey, including 100 in the case group and 61 in the control group. The results of univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the distribution of gender, smoking, and urinary fluoride concentration between the case group and the control group (χ 2 = 7.54, 5.02, 9.69, P < 0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that gender ( OR = 0.36, 95% CI: 0.18 - 0.73, P = 0.005) and urinary fluoride concentration ( OR = 3.08, 95% CI: 1.46 - 6.67, P = 0.003) were the influencing factors of adult fluorosis. RCS analysis showed a significant linear dose-response relationship between the risk of dental fluorosis and urinary fluoride concentration ( Poverall trend = 0.001, Pnonlinear = 0.071). When the urinary fluoride concentration was greater than 1.57 mg/L, the risk of dental fluorosis increased with the increase of urinary fluoride concentration. Conclusion:Gender and urinary fluoride concentration are the risk factors of dental fluorosis in adults in drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis areas of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

Objective To understand the genotyping of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infected hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients in Yunnan Province, and to analyze the differences in viral load, biochemical indicators, and blood routine indicators among different genotypes, in order to provide a laboratory basis for the diagnosis and clinical treatment of HIV/HCV co-infected patients. Methods From November 2022 to June 2023, the serum samples and basic information of patients diagnosed with HIV/HCV co-infection were collected in the antiviral outpatient clinic of Yunnan Provincial Hospital of Infectious Diseases. The HCV viral load was detected by one-step qRT-PCR amplification, the positive samples were sequenced, and genotyping was determined based on NS5 gene sequence. The differences in biochemical and blood routine indexes between HIV patients co-infected with different HCV genotypes and low/high viral loads were analyzed. Results A total of 126 HIV/HCV co-infected patients were collected, including 20 HCV genotype 1 (15.9%), 91 HCV genotype 3 (72.2%), and 15 HCV genotype 6 (11.9%). The maximum and minimum viral load of the three HCV genotypes were as follows: HCV type 1 (1.0×108, 4.8×104 IU/mL), HCV type 3 (2.2×108, 2.9×102 IU/mL), and HCV type 6 (8.1×107, 6.8×104 IU/mL). The results showed that there was no significant difference between HIV co-infection with different genotypes of HCV and three HIV treatment schemes, including nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors+integrase strand transfer inhibitors (NRTIs+INSTIs), nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors+non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs+NNRTIs) and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors+protease inhibitor (NRTIs+PLs), and the viral load of patients (P>0.05). The analysis of biochemical indexes such as total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatinine (CREA), and blood routine indexes such as white blood cell (WBC), red blood cell (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB), platelet (PLT), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) among different HCV genotypes and low/high viral loads showed that there was no significant difference in biochemical indexes and blood routine indexes between low/high viral loads of HIV co-infected HCV patients (P>0.05); however, the biochemical indicators TBIL, IBIL and MCHC were significantly different statistically between patients with genotype 3 HCV infection and those with genotype 1 HCV infection (P<0.05), while other biochemical and blood routine indexes were not statistically different among different HCV genotypes (P>0.05). Conclusions There are six subtypes of HCV co-infection in HIV patients in Kunming, Yunnan Province, including three genes of genotype 1, 3, and 6. Among them, genotype 3 HCV is the main prevalent genetic virus among HIV co-infected populations. The TBIL, IBIL and MCHC values of HIV patients co-infected with HCV type 3 are different from those infected with HCV type 1.
