BACKGROUND:Currently,exercise therapy is an effective non-pharmacological treatment for low back pain,and exercise therapy can maintain lumbar spine stabilization through mechanical-chemical coupling between bones and muscles,but there is no clear description of the research progress and optimal treatment protocols for exercise therapy to relieve chronic non-specific lower back pain through mechanical-chemical coupling. OBJECTIVE:To review the research progress related to the influence of paravertebral muscles on lumbar spine stabilization during exercise therapy through mechanical-chemical coupling,which in turn relieves chronic non-specific lower back pain,as well as the current optimal treatment protocols of exercise therapy for chronic non-specific lower back pain. METHODS:Literature searches were performed in WanFang database,CNKI,VIP,Web of Science,and PubMed database,with search terms of"chronic non-specific low back pain,lumbar spine stabilization,paravertebral muscles,exercise therapy"in Chinese and English.Relevant literature published from database inception to January 2024 was searched and 93 articles were included for final summarization. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Exercise therapy can act on the paravertebral muscles and bones through appropriate mechanical stimulation and produce corresponding changes.Exercise therapy is an important intervention for chronic non-specific lower back pain as it improves the quality of the paravertebral muscles,primarily through mechanical-chemical coupling,and thus maintains lumbar spine stabilization for better relief of chronic non-specific lower back pain.However,there are no clear reports on the exact effective protocols for exercise therapy to treat chronic non-specific lower back pain through lumbar spine stabilization.The development of an individualized exercise program is particularly important for the treatment and prognosis of chronic non-specific low back pain.Muscle mass and bone mass of the same individual are closely related,and imaging assessment of paravertebral muscle mass and quantity is important for disease detection and intervention.

The Maillard reaction is a complex process in which amine compounds such as amino acids, peptides, and proteins undergo condensation, polymerization, and other reactions with carbonyl compounds such as reducing sugars, ketones, and aldehydes at room temperature or under heating conditions, ultimately producing substances such as melanoidins and aromatic compounds. The processing of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) often involves heating and the addition of auxiliary materials, providing complete conditions for the occurrence of the Maillard reaction. The Maillard reaction is affected by various factors such as temperature, pH, moisture, substrate, reaction time and pressure, the progress of the reaction also affected by different processing technologies of TCM and the addition of different excipients. The Maillard reaction involves multiple substances, most of which have significant physiological activity or toxicity, affecting the efficacy and pharmacological effects of TCM. It can also produce various flavor substances and browning products that change the flavor and color of TCM. The Maillard reaction mechanism, influencing factors, related components, and the impact of Maillard reaction on various aspects of TCM processing are reviewed from multiple perspectives in this article, providing reference for the further improvement of processing mechanism and quality control of TCM.

Objective: To investigate the current status of iron metabolism among apheresis donors in Guangzhou and analyze the improvement effects of health education on iron deficiency in frequent apheresis donors. Methods: Using a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM), a 180-day follow-up was conducted on 261 eligible apheresis donors at the Guangzhou Blood Center from January to July 2024. Hemoglobin (Hb), serum ferritin (SF), unsaturated iron-binding capacity (UIBC), total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and transferrin saturation (TS) were selected as outcome variables. The effects of gender, age group, and number of donations within 180 days on these outcomes were analyzed and modeled. A general linear model (GLM) with repeated measures was applied to 55 donors who received health education interventions, comparing changes in Hb and iron metabolism-related indicators before and after follow-up and health education. Results: No significant difference in Hb levels was observed between first-time and regular apheresis donors, but SF levels were significantly higher in first-time donors (F=6.195, P<0.05). The GLMM revealed that female donors exhibited more significant reductions in Hb (T=-12.546) and SF (T=-5.829)(P<0.05 for both). Age group showed no interactive effects on Hb or SF changes. While number of donations within 180 days had no interactive effect on Hb, SF levels significantly decreased with increased number of donations (using ≥9 donations as the reference group; P<0.05 for all groups). After health education, Hb levels remained unchanged, but SF increased compared to pre-intervention levels (mean difference: -18.571, P<0.05), though a declining trend persisted compared to baseline (mean difference from baseline to post-intervention: 23.068,P<0.05). Conclusion: Female and number of donations are primary factors contributing to SF reduction in apheresis donors. Health education interventions promote SF recovery. Extending donation intervals and reinforcing iron deficiency-related health education may improve iron status in donors.

Objective To analyze the nonlinear relationship between hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) parameters and delayed graft function (DGF) and optimize the construction of a predictive model for DGF. Methods The data of 923 recipients who underwent kidney transplantation from deceased donors were retrospectively analyzed. According to the occurrence of DGF, the recipients were divided into DGF group (n=823) and non-DGF group (n=100). Donor data, HMP parameters and recipient data were analyzed for both groups. The nonlinear relationship between HMP parameters and the occurrence of DGF was explored based on restricted cubic splines (RCS). Over-sampling, under-sampling and balanced sampling were used to address the imbalance in the proportion of DGF to construct logistic regression predictive models. The area under the curve (AUC) of each model was compared in the validation set, and a nomogram model was constructed. Results Donor BMI, cold ischemia time of the donor kidney, and HMP parameters (initial and final pressures, resistance, and perfusion time) were significantly different between the DGF and non-DGF groups (all P<0.05). The RCS analysis revealed a threshold-like nonlinear relationship between HMP parameters and the risk of DGF. Among the models constructed using different sampling methods, the balanced sampling model had the highest AUC. Using this model, a nomogram was constructed to stratify recipients based on risk scores. Recipients in the high-risk group had higher serum creatinine levels at 1, 6, and 12 months after kidney transplantation compared to those in the low-risk group (all P<0.05). Conclusions There is a nonlinear relationship between HMP parameters and the risk of DGF, and the threshold is helpful for organ quality assessment and monitoring of graft function after transplantation. The predictive model for DGF constructed on the base of balanced sampling algorithms helps perioperative decision-making and postoperative graft function monitoring of kidney transplantation.

Objective:
This study investigated the effect of applying different torque values on the sagittal displacement tendency of mandibular incisors during intrusion using clear aligners, with the aim of providing a reference for achieving true vertical intrusion (intrusion without labiolingual movement) of mandibular incisors in clear aligner therapy.
Methods:
This study was approved by the institutional ethics committee. A volunteer with an incisor mandibular plane angle of 94° was selected. Using cone-beam computed tomography and intraoral scan data, a high-precision three-dimensional finite element model was established. An intrusion amount of 0.2 mm was set for the mandibular incisors, and four simulation groups were defined by applying 0°, 1°, 2°, and 3° of root labial torque. The displacement tendency of the incisors and the stress distribution within the periodontal ligament were analyzed.
Results:
When 0° of root labial torque was applied, the mandibular incisors exhibited intrusion accompanied by crown-labial, root-lingual inclination. When 1°-3° of root labial torque was applied, the mandibular incisors exhibited intrusion accompanied by the inclination gradually shifted from crown-labial, root-lingual towards crown-lingual, root-labial. Based on the line graph of sagittal displacement, the central incisors and lateral incisors approximated true vertical intrusion when 1.8° and 2.5° of root labial torque was applied, respectively. The mandibular canines consistently exhibited extrusion accompanied by labial crown inclination. Stress within the periodontal ligament of the incisors and canines was primarily concentrated at the root apex and cervical region. After applying root labial torque, the area of stress concentration in the incisors cervical periodontal ligament shifted from the labial side to the lingual side. The stress in the periodontal ligament at the cervical region of the canines is predominantly concentrated on the labial side.
Conclusion
Applying appropriate torque control during mandibular incisor intrusion with clear aligners facilitates true vertical intrusion, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the intrusion.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of Baihe Yuzi prescription (BYP) on the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), aquaporin (AQP), zinc/iron-regulated transporter-like protein (ZIP) and local oxidative stress in epididymis of oligoasthenozoospermia (OAS) rats, and to explore the mechanism of its intervention in OAS. MethodAfter 35 rats were acclimatized for 1 week, 7 rats were randomly selected as the normal group, and the remaining 28 rats were given tripterygium glycosides (TG) 30 mg·kg-1. After 4 weeks of modeling, they were randomly divided into 4 groups: model group, BYP low-dose group (LBYP), BYP high-dose group (HBYP) and levocarnitine group, with 7 rats in each group. The rats in the normal group and model group were given normal saline at the same dosage. The levocarnitine group rats were given L-carnitine oral liquid (100 mg·kg-1) by gavage. The LBYP group rats were given BYP 6.3 g·kg-1, and the HBYP group rats were given BYP 12.6 g·kg-1 by gavage once a day for consecutive 4 weeks. After the end of the intervention, sperm count and motility of all rats were detected, the histopathological structure of epididymis was observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, and the expressions of CFTR, AQP9, AQP3, ZIP8, ZIP12 and other proteins were detected by Western blot. The contents of α-glycosidase (α-GC), sialic acid (SA), carnitine, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Total zinc content was measured using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer. Free zinc ion content was detected by zinc ion probes. ResultCompared with those in the normal group, the sperm count and motility of rats were decreased and the epididymal structure was disordered in the model group. The contents of α-GC and carnitine were decreased in epididymis (P<0.05). MDA levels were increased, while SOD, GSH-Px and zinc levels were decreased (P<0.05). The expressions of CFTR and ZIP12 in the head and cauda of the epididymis were down-regulated, and AQP3 expression was up-regulated. The expression of ZIP8 in the cauda epididymis was up-regulated (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, BYP can significantly improve the sperm count and motility, the epididymal structure of OAS rats and the levels of α-GC and carnitine (P<0.05). The expressions of CFTR and ZIP12 in the head and cauda of the epididymis were up-regulated, while the expressions of ZIP8 in the cauda epididymis and AQP3 in the head of the epididymis were decreased (P<0.05). The SOD and GSH-Px levels and total zinc content in epididymis were increased, and the MDA levels were decreased (P<0.05). ConclusionBYP may improve the sperm quality and repair epididymal tissue structure and function of OAS rats, by regulating the expressions of CFTR, AQP3, and ZIP12 ion channels and local antioxidant mechanism.
