BACKGROUND:Physiotherapy is very important for the recovery after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.In recent years,many doctors are optimizing the physical rehabilitation program after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.However,there is still a lack of efficient rehabilitation training after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of vibration therapy combined with suspension training on movement and knee joint function after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. METHODS:A total of 80 patients undergoing first unilateral anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction at the Affiliated Sport Hospital,Shanghai University of Sport were randomly divided into vibration therapy group(n=40)and vibration therapy+suspension training group(n=40).In the vibration therapy group,vibration therapy(10 minutes each,once a day,6 times per week)was performed at the 13th week after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.Patients in the vibration therapy+suspension training group were treated with vibration therapy(10 minutes each,once a day,6 times per week)and suspension training(twice a week)at the 13th week after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.Training in each group was performed for 8 weeks.Knee joint function was evaluated by knee joint Lysholm score before and 8 weeks after training.The symmetry index was evaluated by the isokinetic muscle strength evaluation training system.The balance test system was used to evaluate the average trace error difference of the bilateral multi-axes. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with those before training,the knee Lysholm score and the knee extension and flexion symmetry indexes increased(P<0.05),and the average trace error difference decreased after training(P<0.05).Compared with the vibration therapy group,the knee Lysholm score in the vibration therapy+suspension training group increased(P<0.05),the knee extension and knee flexion symmetry index increased(P<0.05),and the average trace error difference decreased(P<0.05).To conclude,compared with vibration therapy training alone,vibration therapy combined with suspension training can significantly improve knee joint function,increase muscle strength and symmetry,and improve balance stability in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic, highly prevalent, painful, and disabling degenerative joint disease. It has imposed a heavy burden on social healthcare and patients' psychology and economy due to its clinical symptoms such as impaired joint mobility and severe joint pain and the immature therapies. Studies have shown that OA is closely associated with articular cartilage dysfunction, synthesis and degradation disorders of chondrocyte extracellular matrix (ECM), and joint inflammation. Moderate autophagy can restore the function of damaged chondrocytes, regulate chondrocyte apoptosis, and promote the synthesis and metabolism of ECM to alleviate the inflammation of joints and delay the onset and progression of OA. According to the clinical symptoms, OA can be classified into the category of impediment in traditional Chinese medicine. With the theories of holistic conception, treatment based on syndrome differentiation, and individualised diagnosis and treatment, traditional Chinese medicine has demonstrated definite effects in the treatment of OA in thousands of years of practice. Moreover, traditional Chinese medicine causes mild adverse reactions, and the patients have high tolerance and acceptance. This paper briefly explains the roles of autophagy and the related regulatory proteins, such as Unc-51-like autophagy-activated kinase 1 (ULK1), Beclin-1, and microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3), and details the latest research achievements in the prevention and control of OA by traditional Chinese medicines and its related markers via the regulation of autophagy, so as to provide a idea for the in-depth research in this field and the clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine in preventing and treating OA.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of electroacupuncture at Zhongwan (CV12) on gastric nociceptive response induced by gastric acid stimulation and explore the underlying mechanisms associated with nuclei of the medullary viscerosensory and visceral motor neurons. MethodsTwenty SD rats were given intragastric administration of 0.5 mol/L diluted hydrochloric acid (0.5 ml/100 g) to induce gastric nociceptive response induction. Eight rats were randomly selected to record the gastric slow wave (GSW) area under the curve, and extracellular discharge frequency of neurons in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) and dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve (DMV) before intragastric administration and at 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, and 60 minutes after intragastric administration. The remaining 12 rats received electroacupuncture intervention at Zhongwan within 5 to 25 minutes after intragastric administration of diluted hydrochloric acid, with a duration of one minute. The GSW area under the curve and extracellular discharge frequency of NTS and DMV neurons were compared between the 1-minute intervals before and after electroacupuncture intervention. ResultsCompared to the baseline before intragastric administration, the area under the curve of GSW significantly increased at 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 minutes after intragastric administration, and the extracellular discharge frequency of excitatory neurons in the NTS (accounting for 90%, 57/63) significantly increased at 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 minutes, both reaching peak values at 1 minute after intragastric administration (P<0.01 or P<0.05). The extracellular discharge frequency of inhibitory neurons in the DMV (accounting for 91%, 20/22) showed a non-significant increase at 1 minute after intragastric administration (P>0.05), but significantly decreased at other timepoints (P<0.05). Compared to the baseline before electroacupuncture intervention, the GSW area under the curve and the extracellular discharge frequency of excitatory neurons in the NTS significantly decreased (P<0.05), while the extracellular discharge frequency of inhibitory neurons in the DMV showed no significant difference (P>0.05). ConclusionElectroacupuncture at Zhongwan can improve gastric nociceptive response induced by gastric acid stimulation, possibly by reducing the transmission of visceral sensation and decreasing the excitability of NTS neurons in the medulla.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(8):1106-1110
Objective:
To investigate the prevalence of hyperactivity behavior in children aged 3-6 in Yunnan Province, to explore its relationship with neuropsychological development, so as to provide clues for early prevention and intervention of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children.
Methods:
A total of 1 321 children aged 3 to 6 from 10 kindergartens in 5 prefectures (cities) of Yunnan Province were selected by stratified random sampling method from October 2022 to May 2023. Teacher Rating Scale (TRS) was used to investigate childrens hyperactive behavior and coexistent behavior. A qualified evaluator applied the Developmental Scale for Children Aged 0-6 Years to assess the development of 5 ability areas of gross motor movement,fine movement,adaptive ability,language and social behavior. Statistical analysis was performed using Wilcoxon rank sum test and χ2 test. Binary Logistic regression was applied to analyze the score of their hyperactivity behavior and its relationship with other behavior problems and neuropsychological development.
Results:
The detection rate of hyperactivity behavior was 8.6% in children aged 3 to 6 years, 12.8% in boys and 4.1% in girls (χ2=31.53, P<0.01). The detection rate of hyperactivity in 3yearold children was 13.9%, which was higher than that in 4yearold (9.2%) and 5yearold children (7.0%) (χ2=8.73, P<0.05). The detection rate of inattentionpassivity of rural children (14.6%) was higher than that of urban children (5.9%) (χ2=22.23, P<0.01). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the higher the level of adaptive development, the lower the risk of hyperactivity (OR=0.58, 95%CI=0.39-0.86), the higher the risk of hyperactivity (OR=0.57, 95%CI=0.35-0.91), the higher the risk of conduct problems (OR=0.57, 95%CI=0.37-0.87), inattentionpassivity (OR=0.49, 95%CI=0.33-0.74) were also at lower risk (P<0.05). Children with higher levels of fine motor development had a lower risk of inattentionpassivity (OR=0.59, 95%CI=0.37-0.93, P<0.05).
Conclusions
Hyperactivity in boys and inattentionpassivity in rural children requires more attention. It is necessary to strengthen childrens early adaptive ability and fine motor training to prevent hyperactive behavior and inattention.
