BACKGROUND:A large number of studies have investigated the effects of whole body vibration training at different frequencies on muscle strength,but less is reported on the differences in the efficacy of vibration training at different frequencies on patellar tendinopathy. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of eccentric training of quadriceps combined with different frequency of whole body vibration training on patellar tendinopathy. METHODS:From April to June 2022,48 patients with patellar tendinopathy were recruited from Wuhan Sports University and randomly divided into eccentric training group(n=12),30 Hz group(n=12),40 Hz group(n=12),and 50 Hz group(n=12).The eccentric training group only completed eccentric training of the quadriceps.The 30 Hz,40 Hz and 50 Hz groups performed the whole body vibration training with the amplitude of 2 mm and frequencies of 30 Hz,40 Hz and 50 Hz respectively on the basis of the eccentric training of the quadriceps.The intervention lasted for 8 weeks,three times a week.Before and after the intervention,the patients'surface electromyography signals of the quadriceps,kinematics and dynamics data of knee joint at the time of landing in deep jump and the time of peak vertical ground reaction,Visual Analogue Scale score,Victorian Institute of Sports Assessment-Patellar score were evaluated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After 8 weeks of intervention,compared with the eccentric training group,the median frequency of the lateral and medial femoris muscles were significantly higher in the 40 Hz and 50 Hz groups(P＜0.05).At the time of landing,the knee joint flexion angle and external rotation moment in the 40 Hz and 50 Hz groups were significantly lower than those in the eccentric training group(P＜0.05),while the knee joint flexion angle in the 50 Hz group was significantly lower than that in the 30 Hz group(P＜0.05).At the peak moment of vertical ground reaction,the knee extension torque in the 40 Hz group was significantly lower than that in the eccectric training group(P＜0.05);the knee flexion angle and knee extension torque in the 50 Hz group were significantly lower than those in the eccentric training group(P＜0.05).The Visual Analogue Scale scores in the 50 Hz and 40 Hz groups were significantly lower than those in the eccentric training group(P＜0.05).The Victorian Institute of Sports Assessment-Patellar score in the 50 Hz group was significantly higher than that in the eccentric training group and 30 Hz group(P＜0.05).To conclude,eccentric training of the quadriceps combined with 50 Hz whole body vibration training can significantly improve quadriceps'strength,endurance and activation rate of the vastus lateralis muscle,reduce the pain of knee joint,and improve the function of the knee joint in patients with patellar tendinopathy.

Objective To explore the content and psychometric properties of sarcopenia measurements for older adults. Methods Using the International Classification of Functioning,Disability and Health(ICF)linking and coding rules,a content analysis were conducted on the seven types of measurement tools for geriatric sarcopenia,including Strength,Assistance with walking,Rising from a chair,Climbing stairs,and Falls(SARC-F);Ishii Test;Mini Sar-copenia Risk Assessment-7(MSRA-7);6-minute walk test(6MWT);Barthel Index(BI);Short Physical Perfor-mance Battery(SPPB);and World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0(WHODAS 2.0),and psychometric property was explored. Results The seven measurement tools can be categorized into body functions and structures,activities and participation,and comprehensive categories.ICF coding for SARC-F involved muscle power functions(b730),walking(d450),changing basic body position(d410),etc.Ishii Test involved muscle power functions(b730)and weight maintenance functions(b530).MSRA-7 involved walking(d450),involuntary movement reaction functions(b755),muscle endurance functions(b740),etc.ICF coding for 6MWT involved walking(d450).SPPB involved changing basic body position(d410),control voluntary movement functions(b760),and walking(d450).BI in-volved eating(d550),drinking(d560),washing oneself(d510),caring for body parts(d520),etc.WHODAS 2.0 involved attention functions(b140),acquiring skills(d155),communication-receiving-verbal messages(d310),community life(d910),etc.SARC-F was low to medium in sensitivity,and medium to excellent in specificity.Ishii Test was medium to good in sensitivity,average to good in specificity,and good in diagnostic performance.MSRA-7 was medium to good in sensitivity,average in specificity,and average to medium in diagnostic perfor-mance,while MSRA-5 was average to good in sensitivity,average in specificity,and medium in diagnostic per-formance.6MWT was average to medium in sensitivity,and average in specificity.SPPB was average in sensitiv-ity,average to medium in specificity,and average to excellent in diagnostic performance.BI was good in reliabili-ty,and WHODAS 2.0 was excellent in reliability. Conclusion The measurement tools for sarcopenia can be categorized into body functions and structures,activities and participation,and comprehensive assessment tools combining the above.The psychometric properties of the sev-en measurement tools are low to excellent in sensitivity and average to excellent in specificity.

BACKGROUND:Mesenchymal stem cells are pluripotent stromal cells isolated from a variety of tissues,which can differentiate into osteoblasts under certain conditions.Photobiomodulation,as an external stimulus,can promote osteogenic differentiation combined with other inducers or alone,providing new ideas for solving a series of bone diseases. OBJECTIVE:To review the relevant literature and mechanisms of photobiomodulation-induced osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells,which will lay a theoretical foundation for bone tissue engineering using mesenchymal stem cells as seed cells and may offer some suggestions for future studies. METHODS:Relevant articles were searched on CNKI,PubMed and Wed of Science databases with Chinese search terms of"photobiomodulation,low power laser,low level laser,light-emitting diode,mesenchymal stem cells,osteogenic differentiation,biomaterials"and English search terms of"photobiomodulation,low level laser(light),light-emitting diode(LED),mesenchymal stem cell,osteogenic differentiation,biomaterials".Finally,88 articles were included for analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Photobiomodulation represented by low level laser and diode laser has a positive effect on promoting the proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells.(2)Photobiomodulation can induce osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells,whose feasibility has been verified in cell and animal experiments.On one hand,photobiomodulation can promote the expansion and differentiation of stem cells in vitro by activating related signaling pathways and up-regulating the expression of osteogenic molecules.On the other hand,photobiomodulation can improve the survival rate of stem cells in vivo,promote homing effect and shorten the healing time of bone defects after stem cells are injected into the body.However,photobiomodulation has a biphasic dose effect,whose laser parameters,experimental environment,cell type and other factors in various studies are different,making the research results lack consistency and difficult to apply in the clinic.(3)Combined with biological materials,other physical factors and drugs,photobiomodulation can also accelerate osteogenic differentiation.(4)In conclusion,photobiomodulation has been used increasingly widely in the medical field with its advantages of non-invasive,efficient and less-side reactions,and its role in bone tissue engineering has gradually become prominent,which provides a new method for the treatment of bone defects and related diseases.Further exploration should be focused on the standardized treatment parameters of photobiomodulation.

ObjectiveTo analyze the occurrence of sport injury in Paralympic athletes during the Summer or Winter Paralympic Games, as well as the risk factors for sport injuries and possible interventions. MethodsThe literatures related to sport injuries of Paralympic athletes were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO and CNKI from January, 2013 to July, 2022, and a scoping review of the retrieved literature was performed. ResultsFinally, eight English articles from China, Sweden, South Africa, Poland and the United States were included, involving 4 769 atheletes. They included one interview study, five survey studies, one retrospective study and one prospective cohort study, which were mainly from journals in the fields of sport medicine, adaptive sport and sport science, and the publication date was mainly from 2016 to 2022. The types of disability of Paralympic athletes mainly involved physical disability (upper and lower limb amputation, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, poliomyelitis, dysplasia and neuromuscular dystrophy, central nervous system injury, myelomeningocele, etc.), intellectual disability and visual disability. The incidence of sport injury was high in Paralympic athletes, and most of the injury occured during competitions. Acute injury, chronic overuse injury and chronic to acute injury were the three most common types of injury. Sports injuries mainly involved head and neck, upper limbs (shoulders, upper arms/forearms, elbows, wrists and fingers), trunk (abdomen, back and waist), and lower limbs (hips/groin, thighs, knees, calves, ankles and toes). Risk factors for sport injuries in Paralympic athletes mainly included previous injury history, illness, fatigue and decreased physical strength, spasticity and muscle weakness; emotional states of inattention or distraction, excessive anxiety or excitement; improper exercise training methods, lack of knowledge related to sport training and injury prevention, and motor skill deficiencies; weather, competition venues, sport facilities, use of equipment and assistive devices, age factors, etc. Injuries of Paralympic athletes could be prevented by providing rehabilitation services for Paralympic athletes, optimizing training design, conducting collective training for coaches and athletes on various types of injuries, conducting research related to sport injuries of disabled athletes, formulating prevention programs and strategies, improving the physical fitness and sport skills of Paralympic athletes, improving emergency treatment techniques for injuries, and strengthening coordination and governance structures between sport medicine and rehabilitation therapists. ConclusionThe incidence of sport injury is high in Paralympic athletes. Chronic overuse injury is the most common injury type, and the injuries most involve head, neck and upper extremities. The risk factors for sport injuries of Paralympic athletes mainly involve physical function, psychological, activities and participation, environment and other factors. The main intervention strategies include providing emergency treatment intervention and monitoring services, sport medicine treatment and rehabilitation, guidance and specialized support, and health education on sport injury prevention.

Objective To explore whether the single leg vertical jump height limb symmetry index(LSI)＞90%can represent the normal lower limb biomechanics in athletes after anterior cruciate liga-ment reconstruction(ACLR)during jumping.Methods Forty-six athletes after ACLR were divided into a low symmetry group(jump height LSI＜90%,n=23)and a high symmetry group(jump height LSI＞90%,n=23)according to the symmetry of single leg vertical jump height,while 24 healthy counter-part athletes were chosen into the control group.The kinematic and kinetic characteristics were com-pared among the three groups.Results(1)At the take-off stage,compared with the control group,both sides of the low-symmetry group had higher peak hip flexion angle(P＜0.05),but only the operat-ed side showed lower knee flexion moment(P=0.002),knee power(P=0.01),ankle power(P=0.045)and peak vertical ground reaction force(P=0.008).(2)At the take-off stage,there were no significant differences between the operated side of the high symmetry group and the control group in all measure-ments.However,compared with the healthy side,the operated side demonstrated lower knee flexion moment(P=0.001),knee power(P=0.002),total power of lower limb(P=0.001)and peak vertical ground reaction force(P=0.046).(3)During landing,compared with the control group,bilateral sides of the low symmetry group showed a higher peak hip flexion angle(P＜0.05)and a lower peak flexion knee angle(P＜0.05),but its operated side demonstrated lower peak ankle dorsiflexion angle(P=0.018),knee flexion moment(P=0.005),knee power(P=0.037),ankle power(P=0.002),total power of lower limb(P=0.042),and peak vertical ground reaction force(P=0.022).(4)During landing,there were no significant differences in all variables between the operated side of the high symmetry group and the control group.However,compared with its healthy side,the affected side of the high symmetry group demonstrated lower knee flexion moment(P=0.002),ankle dorsiflexion moment(P=0.003),knee power(P＜0.001),total power of lower limbs(P=0.001),and peak vertical ground reaction force(P=0.023).Conclusion Despite achieving the single leg vertical jump height LSI＞90%,athletes after ACLR still showed abnormal lower limb biomechanical characteristics during propulsion and landing.In addition,such abnormality is more obvious in athletes after ACLR with jump height LSI＜90%.Therefore,sym-metry in jump height does not represent normal lower extremity biomechanics in athletes after ACLR.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the main structural and content features of four instruments for motor function and motor ability assessment and their psychometric properties for children and adolescents with disabilities, based on International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health-Children and Youth Version (ICF-CY). MethodsPubMed, Medline and Web of Science databases were searched for literature on motor function and motor ability assessment for children and adolescents with disabilities published from establishment to May, 2023. The main structural and content characteristics of the tools were analyzed using ICF-CY, and the quality of measurement tools was assessed using COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN). ResultsNine papers were eventually included, and four assessment tools were identified, including Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88), Peabody Developmental Motor Scales second edition (PDMS-2), Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency second edition (BOT-2), and Movement Assessment Battery for Children second edition (MABC-2). The GMFM-88 consisted of 88 items in five dimensions: zone A (lying and rolling), zone B (sitting), zone C (crawling and kneeling), zone D (standing), and zone E (walking and running and jumping); it involved joint movement function (b710), random movement control function (b760), etc., in body function; and the change of basic body posture to maintain a body posture (d410) and maintain a body posture (d415) in activity and participation, with good to excellent levels of internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, content validity, and structural validity. The PDMS-2 consisted of six subtests, including reflexes, posture, movement, physical manipulation, grasping and visuomotor integration, with a total of 249 items; it involved memory function (b144) and joint mobility function (b710) in body function; as well as looking (d110) and imitation (d130) in activity and participation; with good psychometric properties in terms of internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, content validity, structural validity, and hypothesis testing and cross-cultural feasibility. There are two versions of BOT-2: long form and short form. The long form consisted of eight subtests with 53 items, involving joint mobility function (b710) and joint stability function (b715) in body function; as well as imitation (d130) and learned calculation (d150) in activity and participation; it achieved excellent levels of psychometric properties in terms of internal consistency reliability, content validity, and structural validity, and good level in reliability and test-retest reliability. MABC-2 consisted of two parts: an activity ability test and a checklist with 30 items; it involved joint mobility function (b710), joint stability function (b715), etc., in body function; as well as fine-hand use (d440), hand and arm use (d445) in activity and participation; with good psychometric properties such as reliability, content validity, and structural validity. ConclusionThis systematic review analyzed the main structural and content characteristics of four types of measurement tools for assessing motor function and motor ability in children and adolescents with disabilities based on the ICF-CY, and evaluated the quality of psychometric properties (internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, content validity, structural validity, and cross-cultural consistency, etc.) of the four types of measurement tools using the COSMIN criteria. For the structure and content, PDMS-2 appears the broadest content, and measures fine hand movements, dynamic and static balance, along with the BOT-2 and MABC-2. GMFM-88 focuses more on gross motor functions such as postural control. Four instruments show high internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, content validity and structural validity, while the BOT-2 and PDMS-2 show better reliability. To ensure the reliability and validity of the measures, rehabilitation workers and educators need to receive standardized training and qualification before using the standardized instruments for motor function and motor ability for children with disabilities. With norm-referenced measures, the results need to be converted to standard scores.

Objective:To establish a model C-GALAD for detecting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from the chronic liver disease and healthy people based on the serum markers.Methods:A clinical cohort including 229 hepatocellular carcinoma patients, 2 317 patients with chronic liver disease and 982 healthy people, was retrospectively collected from eight hospitals or physical examination institutions from April 2018 to October 2020. The data were divided into a training set and a testing set by stratified sampling with a 6∶4 ratio. A predictive model was established on the training set using a logistic backward regression method and validated on the testing set. In addition, clinical data from March to July 2021 in Beijing You′ an Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, including 84 patients with liver cancer and 204 patients with chronic liver disease collected were used for external independent validation of the model. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) area under curve (AUC), the sensitivity and the specificity were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the model.Results:Through the logistic backward regression method, the seven signatures including age, gender, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), alpha-fetoprotein alloplasm-3 ratio (AFP-L3%), des-gamma-carboxyprothrombin(DCP), platelet (PLT) and total bilirubin (TBIL) were selected as risk factors in the detection model. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the model on the testing set was 0.954, with an 88.04% sensitivity and a 94.85% specificity, and the AUC of model on the external independent validation set was 0.943, with an 89.29% sensitivity and a 90.2% specificity, which were better than other published models.Conclusion:The C-GALAD Ⅱ model can accurately predict the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma occurrence, and thus provide a trustworthy diagnosis method of hepatocellular carcinoma.

ObjectiveTo construct a research framework on the health and functional outcomes of children with intellectual disability participating in physical activities using World Health Organization Family of International Classifications (WHO-FICs), and systematically analyze the main health and functional impairment manifestations, interventions of physical activity, and health and functional outcomes of children and adolescents with intellectual disability. MethodsInternational Classification of Diseases, Eleventh Revision (ICD-11), and International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) were used to systematically analyze physical activity intervention programs for children and adolescents with intellectual disability, and health and functional outcomes, to develop a structure of health and functional status, physical activity intervention programs, and health and functional outcomes. Systematic reviews about physical activity, and health and functional outcomes of children and adolescents with intellectual disability were retrieved from Scopus, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang Data, from establishment to August 18th, 2022, and a systematic review of systematic reviews was conducted. ResultsEight systematic reviews were finally included, from five countries, included a total of 190 randomized controlled trials and 7 011 participants, in the fields of intellectual disability, child neurology, rehabilitation sciences, disability and health, adaptive physical education, and special education, which mainly published from 2018 to 2022. The main common health conditions were Down syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, fragile X syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, intellectual disability and cognitive impairment. Physical activity interventions mainly involved physical fitness, skills, and activities, with the frequency of one to five times a week, moderate to high intensity, and duration of one week to 1.5 years. The health outcomes mainly involved in three aspects: intellectual function and adaptive behavior, physical activity, and psycho-behavioral health and social adaptation, overall quality of life and well-being. ConclusionA conceptual framework for the health outcomes of physical activity and exercise rehabilitation for children and adolescents with intellectual disability has been constructed based on WHO-FICs. The main functioning of children and adolescents with intellectual disability are manifested at three levels: intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior, activity and participation, and mental health, quality of life and well-being, where limitations of intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior involve conceptual, social and practical skills; and low physical activity participation, sedentary and obesity, low mobility, and failure to develop basic motor skills and physical fitness at the level of activity and participation; for the quality of life and well-being, limitations involve mood and emotion, self-esteem, general self-concept, well-being, friendships, relationships with others or social maturity, and quality of life and well-being. Intervention programs of physical activity can be divided into physical fitness, skills and sports. The primary health and functional outcomes are synthesized in three main domains, namely intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior, activity and participation, and mental health, quality of life and well-being. In the intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior domain, the primary health outcomes involved cognitive functioning (executive functioning, cognitive plasticity, working memory, etc.) and psychological functioning (emotional self-control, self-worth, and self-esteem). In the activity and participation domain, physical activity contributes to the development of physical fitness (muscle strength and endurance, speed, agility) and motor skills (basic motor skills, balance, core stability), to increase the participation in physical activity, promote better adaptation and empowerment (socialization, prosocial behavior), and to achieve the health goals (reduction of disease risk, anxiety and depression, and management of obesity). In the domain of psycho-behavioral health and social adaptation, quality of life, and well-being, physical activity and exercise rehabilitation can improve overall quality of life and well-being.

ObjectiveTo investigate the injury risk of simplified 24-action Taiji Quan wild horse mane splitting practice at different postures with mechanical analysis. MethodsThe mechanical model of the action of Taiji Quan wild horse mane splitting was establishied, and then the coordinates, velocity, acceleration and horizontal angle of thigh and lower leg were determined by image analysis. The force arm of quadriceps femoris was detected by X-ray, and the quadriceps femoris tension, femoral tibial joint force and patellofemoral joint pressure of wild horse mane splitting practice with different postures were compared. ResultsCompared with the high posture, the coordination and velocity decreased, the average angle of knee joint decreased from 128° to 115° at the low posture; and the knee moment, the quadriceps femoris tension, femoral tibial joint force and patellofemoral joint pressure significantly increased (F > 37.187, P < 0.001). ConclusionWhen practicing Taiji Quan wild horse mane splitting, the risk of knee injury at the low posture is higher than that at high posture.

Objective: To understand the awareness of sexual knowledge among primary and secondary school students, as well as their attitudes towards school sex education and to provide a reference for school-based sex education. Methods: A total of 5 531 primary and secondary school students were selected from Beijing, Chongqing, Heilongjiang (Harbin and Jiamusi) and Hubei (Wuhan and Xiaogan) by stratified cluster sampling and were investigated with self-reported questionnaire. Results: Sex-related knowledge scored 62.33±19.35, with a pass rate of 61.9%, and the excellent rate 17.5%. Sexual knowledge of junior high school students scored 64.30±19.07, with the pass rate of 64.7%, and the excellent rate 22.0%. A large proportion of primary students reported unaware of pubertal growth and HIV/AIDS-related knowledge, and a large proportion of junior high students unaware of reproductive physiology. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed region, grade, gender, and suburban areas were related to the level of sexual knowledge(P<0.05). More than 76.0% primary students and 85.9% middle school students agreed on the importance of school sexuality education. 59.7% of primary school students and 73.3% of junior high school students hoped to include school sexuality education in compulsory education courses; 59.8% of primary school students and 68.3% of junior high school students felt that school sexuality education should be equipped with specialized teachers. Conclusion Chinese primary and secondary school students are lack of sexual knowledge. As students have strong wills to get more information on sexual knowledge, schools should provide them with more comprehensive and effective sex education through appropriate courses and activities.
