Objective:To describe the application methods, types, and effects of wearable devices in sarcopenia.Methods:Following the guidelines for scoping reviews, a systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, and VIP for literature related to wearable device applications in sarcopenia. The search period covered publications from database inception to August 1, 2024.Results:A total of 12 studies were included. Wearable devices in sarcopenia were primarily used for monitoring gait speed, surface electromyography, sleep duration, activity time, and supporting exercise interventions. Common types of wearable devices included activity trackers, smart belts, and smart wristbands. Their effectiveness, feasibility, and role in ensuring activity safety have been preliminarily demonstrated.Conclusions:The application of wearable devices in sarcopenia is still in its early stages but shows great potential. Currently, wearable devices are mainly used to monitor one or a few individual indicators. Future research should focus on developing multi-parameter monitoring devices and conducting large-scale, high-quality trials to validate their effectiveness in both monitoring and supporting exercise interventions. This will help promote their broader application and assist healthcare professionals in the early identification, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of sarcopenia.

Background::Despite the adverse effects of ambient fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) on type 2 diabetes and the beneficial role of physical activity (PA), the influence of PM 2.5 on the relationship between PA and type 2 diabetes remains unclear. Methods::In this prospective study with 71,689 participants, PA was assessed by a questionnaire and was categorized into quartiles for volume and three groups for intensity. Long-term PM 2.5 exposure was calculated using 1-km resolution satellite-based PM 2.5 estimates. PM 2.5 exposure and PA's effect on type 2 diabetes were assessed by cohort-stratified Cox proportional hazards models, individually and in combination. Results::In 488,166 person-years of follow-up, 5487 incident type 2 diabetes cases were observed. The association between PA and type 2 diabetes was modified by PM 2.5. Compared with the lowest quartile of PA volume, the highest quartile was associated with reduced type 2 diabetes risk in low PM 2.5 stratification (≤65.02 μg/m 3) other than in high PM 2.5 stratification (>65.02 μg/m 3), with the hazard ratio (HR) of 0.75 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.66-0.85) and 1.10 (95% CI: 0.99-1.22), respectively. Similar results were observed for PA intensity. High PM 2.5 exposure combined with the highest PA levels increased the risk of type 2 diabetes the most (HR= 1.79, 95% CI: 1.59-2.01 for PA volume; HR = 1.82, 95% CI: 1.64-2.02 for PA intensity). Conclusion::PA could reduce type 2 diabetes risk in low-pollution areas, but high PM 2.5 exposure may weaken or even reverse the protective effects of PA. Safety and health benefits of PA should be thoroughly assessed for long-term polluted residents.

BACKGROUND:In recent years,increasing studies have shown that low-intensity pulsed ultrasound can promote the healing of acute tendon injuries,but the specific mechanism is still unclear. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound on early angiogenesis after acute tendon injury,and to detect the regulatory relationship of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound with vascular endothelial growth factor-related signaling pathways,so as to reveal its potential mechanism of action. METHODS:Animal models of acute Achilles tendon injury were established using local injection of type I collagenase for 3 days in SPF male Sprague-Dawley rats aged 8-12 weeks,and were then randomly divided into ultrasound group and control group.In the ultrasound group,low-intensity pulsed ultrasound was treated daily with a small ultrasonic probe with an effective radiation area of 1 cm2 perpendicular to the Achilles tendon.No intervention was performed in the control group.Ultrasound imaging examination was performed 2 weeks later to observe the early healing of the tendon.Hematoxylin-eosin staining and CD31 immunohistochemical staining were performed to observe the changes in the number of blood vessels in the tissues after 1 and 2 weeks of treatment.The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-related signaling pathway molecules in Achilles tendon tissues was detected by western blot or qRT-PCR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group,the Achilles tendon in the ultrasound group was more continuous,the echo intensity was lower and more uniform,and the tendon thickness was significantly reduced(P<0.05).Hematoxylin-eosin staining and CD31 immunohistochemical staining results showed that after 2 weeks of treatment,the number of new vessels in the ultrasound group was significantly increased compared with the control group(P<0.05).Western blot and qRT-PCR results showed that after 2 weeks of continuous ultrasound intervention,the protein or mRNA expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor,Yes-associated protein,angiopoietin-2 and cysteine-rich angiogenic inducer 61 in the Achilles tendon of the ultrasound group were significantly higher than those of the control group(P<0.05).These finding indicate that low-intensity pulsed ultrasound significantly increases the number of blood vessels in the early stage of acute tendon injury and accelerate tendon healing by up-regulating vascular endothelial growth factor expression.

Compared with conventional treatments, oncolytic virotherapy has the advantages of enhanced cytotoxicity, improved targeting, and minimal side effects. However, its efficacy is not as good as expected for the single drug treatment. The purpose of synergistic effect is one of the development directions of existing oncolytic virus therapy. In this paper, through a systematic review of the current preclinical and clinical trials progress of oncolytic virus combination therapy, the combined treatment strategies of oncolytic virus and immune checkpoint inhibitors, chemotherapy, targeted therapy,and cell therapy are reviewed to provide reference for further clinical application.

Objective To explore the application value of artificial intelligence(AI)combined with multi-slice spiral CT in screening pulmonary nodules in health examination population in govern-ment departments.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the chest CT screening data of health examination population in government departments who had at least diameter of one nodule ≥3 mm.All data were analyzed using AI technology combined with manual film reading.The detection rate of pulmonary nodules was recorded.Based on the risk values predicted by AI technology,the nod-ules were divided into different risk groups,and the basic characteristics of the nodules were analyzed and compared.Results The detection rate of pulmonary nodules was 60.4％.High-risk patients were more likely to present as pure ground glass nodules or mixed ground glass nodules.The average age of individuals with pulmonary nodules was higher than those without(P＜0.05).There were sig-nificant differences in the basic characteristics of pulmonary nodules,including nature,morphology,internal signs,and external signs among different risk groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion Multi-slice spiral CT examination of the chest scan is helpful for screening pulmonary nodules in large-scale physi-cal examination populations.The combination of AI technology and manual film reading can improve the accuracy of pulmonary nodule screening.
