BACKGROUND:Muscle weakness is a common symptom after coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)infection and affects the ability to perform daily activities in humans during recovery.Low-frequency pulsed magnetic field stimulation at a strength of 1.5 mT and a frequency of 3 300 Hz can enhance the maximal voluntary contraction and strength endurance of human skeletal muscle by inducing and activating classical transient receptor potential channel 1(TRPC1),which produces a series of pathological support effects on muscle tissue.It has not been studied whether this means will improve muscle weakness in patients recovering from COVID-19. OBJECTIVE:To select the low-frequency pulsed magnetic field for magnetic stimulation of lower limb muscle groups in patients with COVID-19,in order to observe the effect of this stimulation on the improvement of muscle weakness of lower limb muscle groups in patients with COVID-19 during the recovery period. METHODS:Fourteen patients infected with COVID-19(Omicron strain)positive for Innovita COVID-19 Ab Test(Colloidal Gold)and accompanied by muscle weakness were recruited and randomly divided into two groups:a test group receiving magnetic field stimulation and a control group receiving sham treatment,respectively.The total duration of the trial was 3 weeks.The test group was given low-frequency pulsed magnetic stimulation of the lower limbs every 48 hours and the control group was given the same intervention procedure as the test group but with sham stimulation.Patients in both groups were not informed whether the magnetic stimulation apparatus was running or not.Nine sessions were performed in both groups and the changes in the maximum voluntary contraction,explosive leg force and strength endurance of the local muscle groups of the lower limbs were subsequently observed in both groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Among the eight local muscle groups collected,seven local muscle groups in the test group showed an increase in the maximum voluntary contraction value after 3 weeks of low-frequency pulsed magnetic field stimulation.In the control group,there were only three muscle groups with improvement in the maximum voluntary contraction.The rate of improvement in the anterior and posterior muscle groups of the left leg in the test group was significantly higher than that in the control group.The longitudinal jump height and peak angular velocity of the knee joint in both groups were improved compared with the pre-test measurement,and the elevation rate of jumping height in the test group was higher than that in the control group.Under the fatigue condition,the decline rates of peak angular velocity of the knee joint and jumping height in the test group decreased significantly,while those in the control group did not change significantly.The above data confirmed that the low-frequency pulsed magnetic field stimulation with the intensity of 1.5 mT and frequency of 3 300 Hz could improve the muscle strength of more local muscle groups in the lower limbs of patients with COVID-19 during the recovery period compared with the human self-healing process,and the whole-body coordination ability and functional status based on explosive leg force of the legs could be significantly improved.Therefore,low-frequency pulsed magnetic field stimulation can be used as an effective,non-exercise rehabilitation tool to improve muscle weakness in the lower limbs of patients with COVID-19.

Osteoporosis can be induced by various factors including prolonged glucocorticoid usage, diminished estrogen levels, secondary hyperparathyroidism, and alterations in the microenvironment of bone tissue. The bone metabolism imbalance(osteogenic-lipogenic imbalance) plays a crucial role in the development of osteoporosis. This imbalance is primarily driven by an increase in the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into adipocytes and a decrease in their differentiation into osteoblasts, thus forming the core of the osteogenic-lipogenic imbalance observed in osteoporosis. The bone morphogenesis protein(BMP) plays a crucial role in the regulation of the osteogenic-lipid balance in osteoporosis. This regulatory function is accomplished through both the Smad-dependent and Smad-independent pathways. This review centers on the Smad-dependent and Smad-independent pathways facilitated by BMP, offering a comprehensive overview of the potential mechanisms through which BMP-2, 4, 6, 7, and 9 contribute to the regulation of osteogenesis and lipid metabolism in osteoporosis via these pathways. In order to present novel insights for the identification of efficacious targets for clinical anti-osteoporosis medications.

Objective:To study the safety and efficacy of hiatal hernia-endoscopic submucosal dissection (HH-ESD) for the treatment of giant hiatal hernia (>3 cm in length) complicated with refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).Methods:Patients with giant hiatal hernia complicated with refractory GERD who voluntarily received HH-ESD at the Digestive Endoscopy Center of the Affiliated People's Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from April 2018 to March 2020 were included in the clinical study. The completion of HH-ESD and the occurrence of complications were observed, and the changes of indicators before and after the treatment were observed, including gastroesophageal reflux disease-health related quality of life (GERD-HRQL) score, gastroesophageal reflux disease questionnaire (GERD-Q) score, endoscopy results, 24 h esophageal pH monitoring results, esophageal high-resolution manometry results and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) usage.Results:Data of 10 patients were collected during the study, with a medical history of 2-10 years. All patients successfully underwent HH-ESD treatment. No adverse events such as perforation and massive bleeding occurred during the operation, and the hospital stay was 6-12 days. Dysphagia occurred in 3 cases after the operation, which was relieved spontaneously within 3 or 6 months. The preoperative GERD-HRQL scores ranged from 19 to 29, which were reduced to 0-14 and 0-8 at 3 and 12 months after the operation, respectively. The preoperative GERD-Q score was 9-17, and the scores at 3 and 12 months after the operation were all 6-9, which were significantly lower than those before. Gastroscopy showed that esophagitis was improved in all patients, hernia sac was reduced, and Hill grade was reduced compared with that before. The preoperative DeMeester score was 30.3-247.1, and the postoperative 12-month score was 0.2-29.9, which was significantly lower than that before. The long diameter of hiatal hernia was 3.0-6.0 cm before the operation and 0-5.0 cm at 12 months after, which was smaller than that before. At 12 months of the follow-up, 7 patients had stopped PPI, and the remaining 3 had changed to intermittent oral PPI.Conclusion:Preliminary results show that HH-ESD is safe and effective for the treatment of giant hiatal hernia complicated with refractory GERD.

Objective:To analyze the expression and clinical significance of human papillomavirus (HPV) 16/18E6 in lung adenocarcinoma tissues and adjacent specimens.Methods:Sixty patients with pathologically confirmed lung adenocarcinoma treated with surgical resection were included in the study. To determine the expression of HPV16/18 E6, carcinoma specimens and adjacent tissues were collected and detected using immunohistochemistry. The χ 2 test was used to analyze the relationship between HPV16/18 E6 expression and the clinical features of lung adenocarcinoma. Using the cell transfection technique, the A549 lung adenocarcinoma cell line with high HPV16/18E6 expression was established, and the differences in cisplatin resistance between the E6, control (Ctl), and A549 groups were compared using the MTT assay. Results:Of the 60 cases, 29 (48%) were male and 31 (52%) were female, with an average age of (55.5±2.4) years. In lung adenocarcinoma specimens, the positive expression rate of HPV16/18 E6 was 48% (29/60), which was higher than that observed in adjacent tissues (18%; 11/60), demonstrating a statistically significant difference (P<0.05 ); the differences between the positive expression rate of HPV16/18E6 and TNM stage, age, gender, smoking, and tumor size were not statistically significant. In the E6 A549 lung adenocarcinoma group, cisplatin resistance was higher than that in the Ctl and A549 groups, demonstrating a statistically significant difference (P<0.05 ). Finally, the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC 50) of cisplatin in E6 (111 mg/L)was higher than that in Ctl(75 mg/L) and A549(79 mg/L) groups, demonstrating a statistically significant difference (P<0.05 ).Conclusions:High-risk HPV16/18E6 has a higher positive expression rate in lung adenocarcinoma, independent of TNM stage, age, gender, smoking, and tumor size, and may influence resistance to chemotherapy drugs.

Circular RNAs (circ RNAs) are a novel type of RNA that, unlike linear RNAs, form a covalently closed continuous loop and are highly represented in the eukaryotic transcriptome. They share a stable structure, high expression and often exhibit tissue/developmental-stage-specific expression. Emerging evidence indicates that circRNAs might play important roles in human disease, such as cancer, neurological disorders and atherosclerotic vascular disease risk. The huge potentials of circRNAs are recently being discovered from the laboratory to the clinic. CircRNAs might be developed as a potential novel and stable biomarker and potential drugs used in disease diagnosis and treatment. Here, we review the current understanding of the roles of circRNAs in human disease and their potential clinic significance in disease.
