Neuroscience is a significant frontier discipline within the natural sciences and has become an important interdisciplinary frontier scientific field. Brain is one of the most complex organs in the human body, and its structural and functional analysis is considered the “ultimate frontier” of human self-awareness and exploration of nature. Driven by the strategic layout of “China Brain Project”, Chinese scientists have conducted systematic research focusing on “understanding the brain, simulating the brain, and protecting the brain”. They have made breakthrough progress in areas such as the principles of brain cognition, mechanisms and interventions for brain diseases, brain-like computation, and applications of brain-machine intelligence technology, aiming to enhance brain health through biomedical technology and improve the quality of human life. Due to limited understanding and comprehension of neuroscience, there are still many important unresolved issues in the field of neuroscience, resulting in a lack of effective measures to prevent and protect brain health. Therefore, in addition to actively developing new generation drugs, exploring non pharmacological treatment strategies with better health benefits and higher safety is particularly important. Epidemiological data shows that, exercise is not only an indispensable part of daily life but also an important non-pharmacological approach for protecting brain health and preventing neurodegenerative diseases, forming an emerging research field known as motor neuroscience. Basic research in motor neuroscience primarily focuses on analyzing the dynamic coding mechanisms of neural circuits involved in motor control, breakthroughs in motor neuroscience research depend on the construction of dynamic monitoring systems across temporal and spatial scales. Therefore, high spatiotemporal resolution detection of movement processes and movement-induced changes in brain structure and neural activity signals is an important technical foundation for conducting motor neuroscience research and has developed a set of tools based on traditional neuroscience methods combined with novel motor behavior decoding technologies, providing an innovative technical platform for motor neuroscience research. The protective effect of exercise in neurodegenerative diseases provides broad application prospects for its clinical translation. Applied research in motor neuroscience centers on deciphering the regulatory networks of neuroprotective molecules mediated by exercise. From the perspectives of exercise promoting neurogenesis and regeneration, enhancing synaptic plasticity, modulating neuronal functional activity, and remodeling the molecular homeostasis of the neuronal microenvironment, it aims to improve cognitive function and reduce the incidence of Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. This has also advanced research into the molecular regulatory networks mediating exercise-induced neuroprotection and facilitated the clinical application and promotion of exercise rehabilitation strategies. Multidimensional analysis of exercise-regulated neural plasticity is the theoretical basis for elucidating the brain-protective mechanisms mediated by exercise and developing intervention strategies for neurological diseases. Thus,real-time analysis of different neural signals during active exercise is needed to study the health effects of exercise throughout the entire life cycle and enhance lifelong sports awareness. Therefore, this article will systematically summarize the innovative technological developments in motor neuroscience research, review the mechanisms of neural plasticity that exercise utilizes to protect the brain, and explore the role of exercise in the prevention and treatment of major neurodegenerative diseases. This aims to provide new ideas for future theoretical innovations and clinical applications in the field of exercise-induced brain protection.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of recurrent contralateral hip fracture within 2 years after operation in elderly patients with hip fracture, construct a nomogram prediction model and validate the model.Methods:A total of 601 elderly patients with hip fracture who underwent surgical treatment in Department of Orthopedics in First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from June 2018 to June 2020 were selected as research objects by the convenient sampling method. They were divided into the modeling set ( n=421) and the verification set ( n=180). According to the incidence of recurrent contralateral hip fracture within 2 years of follow-up, the modeling set was divided into the recurrent fracture group and the normal group, and the clinical data of the two groups were compared. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for recurrent contralateral hip fracture in elderly patients within 2 years after surgery. R 3.6 software was used to build a risk factor nomogram model for recurrent contralateral hip fracture. Receiver operating characteristic ( ROC) curve and calibration curve were used to evaluate the differentiation and consistency of the model. Results:In 601 elderly patients with hip fracture, the incidence of recurrent contralateral hip fracture within 2 years after surgery was 8.49% (51/601), among which the incidence of modeling set was 8.31% (35/421) and the incidence of verification set was 8.89% (16/180). In the modeling set, the age, female proportion, osteoporosis proportion, combined internal medical disease proportion and malnutrition proportion of patients in the recurrent fracture group were higher than those in the normal group ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, osteoporosis and combined internal medical diseases were the factors affecting the recurrence of contralateral hip fracture within 2 years after operation in elderly patients with hip fracture ( P<0.05). The equation for constructing a nomogram prediction model was Logit ( P) = -8.521+0.335×age+ 0.116×female +0.341× osteoporosis +0.280 ×combined internal medical diseases. The modeling set predicted the probability of recurrent contralaterial hip fracture according to the nomogram model, and plotted the ROC curve with sensitivity of 0.826, specificity of 0.804, and area under ROC curve ( AUC) of 0.876. The sensitivity of ROC curve of the validation set was 0.788, the specificity was 0.781, and the AUC was 0.830. After internal verification by Bootstrap method, the prediction model of the modeling set and the verification set were well distinguished, and the prediction probability and the actual incidence were well consistent (Hosmer-Lemeshow χ 2=0.462, P=0.674) . Conclusions:Advanced age, female, osteoporosis and combined internal medical diseases are independent risk factors for recurrent contralateral hip fractures in elderly patients with hip fractures within 2 years after surgery. The nomogram model constructed based on this has high predictive efficacy for recurrent hip fractures, which can be used to assess the risk of recurrent fractures and improve the prognosis of patients.
