Under the backdrop of the "Healthy China 2030" strategy, running has become the most common form of exercise. Fitness running is a kind of endurance aerobic exercise. Compared with swimming, aerobics, and other sports with high activity and intensity, the risk of lower limb fatigue injury during fitness running is higher. In this review paper, the risk factors for running-related injuries were summarized by consulting and analyzing the database and focuses on discussing and analyzing the impact of running on joints. The results showed that hip adduction, knee bending, and ankle joint abnormalities are the three joint-related factors that cause the main injuries during running. Four rehabilitation intervention methods for running-related injuries were proposed, that can guide patients to generate personalized rehabilitation treatment plans through training.

Objective To compare the action effect of traditional and modified lumbar massage obliquity manipulation with different degrees of lumbar degeneration. Methods The biomechanical model of quality-spring-damping system lumbar spine was established and massage forces from professional massage doctors were collected. The force was used as input of the model, and lumbar degeneration was simulated by increasing elastic coefficient of the spring and damping coefficient of the damping in the model. By using MATLAB/ Simulink simulation technology, the effects of massage obliquity manipulation ( the maximum relative displacement and maximum acceleration) with different degrees of lumbar degeneration were obtained for comparative analysis.Results When the lumbar spine was degenerative, the maximum relative displacement and maximum acceleration of each segment were obtained under two manipulations. With the increase of lumbar degenerationdegree, the maximum relative displacement and maximum acceleration of each segment under two manipulations showed a downward trend, and the attenuation rate of the maximum relative displacement and maximum acceleration of each segment under two manipulations was obtained. Conclusions When degenerative changes in the spine do not occur, the effectiveness of traditional lumbar massage obliquity manipulation is slightly better than that of modified lumbar massage obliquity manipulation, but the safety of modified lumbar massage obliquity manipulation is obviously better than that of the traditional lumbar massage obliquity manipulation, so the modified lumbar massage obliquity manipulation should be used. With the aggravation of lumbar degeneration, the action effects of two manipulations are attenuated in a power function. The attenuation rate of effectiveness of modified lumbar massage obliquity manipulation is significantly faster than that of traditional lumbar massage obliquity manipulation, indicating that the modified lumbar massage obliquity manipulation should not be used in the caseof lumbar degeneration.

Osteoporosis (OP) and osteoarthritis (OA) are common bone diseases in clinic. OP is a systemic skeletal disease, and OA is a chronic degenerative joint disease with high prevalence and disability rates. With the advent of the aging population, the incidence rate of OA and OP is increasing year by year, and they have become common diseases of the elderly. The quality of life and physical and mental health of patients are severely affected by the above two bone diseases. Chinese medicine has a long history of treating bone diseases, with a good clinical effect on preventing and treating OP, OA, and other bone diseases with few side effects. It is one of the commonly used methods to treat bone diseases. Polysaccharides, as one of the active substances of Chinese medicine, have various pharmacological activities and a wide range of sources with low toxicity, and their effect cannot be ignored. The role of polysaccharides in the treatment of bone diseases has been deeply studied. It has been found that the mechanism of Chinese medicine polysaccharides in treating OP and OA involves multiple levels, targets, and pathways. Through the analysis and summary of the relevant literature on the mechanism of Chinese medicine polysaccharides in treating OP and OA, it was found that Chinese medicine polysaccharides mainly treated OP by regulating the bone dynamic balance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts and affecting bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and bone microstructure. The mechanism of Chinese medicine polysaccharides in the treatment of OA is related to the regulation of chondrocyte growth, the increase in the proteoglycan and collagen content in the cartilage matrix, and the reduction of oxygen free radical content and inflammatory mediator level. This study aimed to further explore the internal relationship among mechanisms of Chinese medicine polysaccharides in the treatment of bone diseases, to provide relevant ideas for the study of Chinese medicine polysaccharides in the treatment of bone diseases.

Objective:
To investigate the effect of silencing human leukocyte⁃associated antigen⁃G ( HLA⁃G) expression in the chorionic trophoblast cell line JEG⁃3 cells under hypoxic conditions on the biological function of JEG⁃3 cells and through the hypoxia response pathway of endothelial PAS1 region protein 1 (EPAS1)is involved in the molecular mechanism of preeclampsia under high altitude hypoxia.
Methods:
The expression of HLA⁃G in JEG⁃3 cells was inhibited by transfection of small interfering RNA (siRNA) . The JEG⁃3 cells after transfection were divided into four groups : normoxic control group , hypoxic control group , normoxic inhibition group , and hypoxic inhibition group. CCK⁃8 test and Transwell test were used to detect the proliferation and invasion ability of the cells in four groups ; The effects of four groups of apoptosis and cell cycle were detected by flow cytometry; HLA⁃G and EPAS1 mRNA and protein expression levels were detected by real⁃time fluorescence quantitative PCR ( qPCR) and Western blot.
Results :
① Compared with the normoxic control group , hypoxic control group , normoxic inhibition group , and hypoxic inhibition group could reduce the proliferation activity and invasion ability of JEG⁃3 cells , and significantly increase the apoptosis rate. The hypoxic control group and hypoxic inhibition group also produced anobvious necrotic cell population ; Under the condition of hypoxia , after reducing the expression of HLA⁃G , the cell necrosis rate was further aggravated ; Whether under normoxia or hypoxia , inhibition of HLA⁃G expression caused the cells to be blocked in the G1 phase. ② Compared with the normoxic control group , hypoxia control group , normoxic inhibition group , and hypoxia inhibition group decreased the expression of HLA⁃G protein , and hypoxia and inhibition of HLA⁃G had a synergistic effect; Hypoxia⁃inducible factors⁃2α ( HIF⁃2α ) , vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and endothelin⁃1(ET⁃1) protein expression could be added , inhibition of HLA⁃G decreased the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase( NOS2) .
Conclusion
In the hypoxic environment , silencing HLA⁃G may affect the biological behavior of trophoblast through the EPAS1 hypoxic response pathway and participate in the
occurrence and development of preeclampsia.

Objective To investigate the changes in serum procalcitonin (PCT) in patients with severe pneumonia, and to analyze its value on evaluating the clinical outcome of patients with severe pneumonia. Methods A total of 58 patients with severe pneumonia aged over 18 years, and admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Zhuozhou City Hospital of Hebei Province from January 2017 to July 2018 were enrolled. The patients were divided into recovery group (the symptoms and signs of pneumonia disappeared or improved, and the X-ray chest films improved or did not make significant progress) and deterioration group (the symptoms and signs of pneumonia persisted or progressed, while X-ray chest radiography progressed, as well as serious complications such as involvement of other organ functions due to deterioration of pulmonary infection or septic shock) according to the therapeutic outcome. The serum PCT levels at 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 days after severe pneumonia diagnosed were recorded, and procalcitonin clearance rate (PCTc) was calculated. The acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) score was estimated within 24 hours when severe pneumonia was diagnosed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn, and the area under ROC curve (AUC) was calculated to analyze the value of PCTc on evaluating the clinical outcome of patients with severe pneumonia. Results Among 58 patients, 33 (56.9%) had better outcome after active treatment (recovery group), and 25 (44.1%) had worse condition (deterioration group). There was no significant difference in PCT level at 1 day or 3 days between the recovery group and the deterioration group [μg/L: 5.05 (3.89, 7.61) vs. 5.29 (4.15, 7.46) at 1 day, 4.59 (4.02, 6.90) vs. 5.70 (4.59, 7.28) at 3 days, both P > 0.05]. With the prolongation of treatment time, serum PCT level was gradually decreased in the recovery group, while remained at higher level in the deterioration group, which was significantly lowered at 5, 7, 9 days in the recovery group as compared with that in the deterioration group [μg/L:2.92 (2.09, 3.42) vs. 6.09 (3.24, 7.96) at 5 days, 1.94 (1.50, 2.07) vs. 7.65 (5.60, 10.52) at 7 days, 1.37 (0.91, 1.74) vs. 8.96 (6.09, 10.87) at 9 days, all P < 0.01]. PCTc at 3, 5, 7, 9 days in the recovery group were significantly higher than those in the deterioration group [15.10 (-17.80, 32.10)% vs. -1.53 (-20.80, 11.48)% at 3 days, 47.50 (30.25, 60.34)% vs. 6.25 (-14.58, 29.05)% at 5 days, 76.44 (53.18, 77.92)% vs. -11.20 (-66.75, -1.38)% at 7 days, 80.01 (59.86, 88.27)% vs. -38.15 (-99.38, -2.81)% at 9 days, all P < 0.05]. ROC curve analysis showed that PCTc at 3, 5, 7 and 9 days were valuable for evaluating the clinical outcome of patients with severe pneumonia, and 9-day PCTc had the greatest value, the AUC was 0.978 [95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.945-1.000, P = 0.000], which was higher than APACHEⅡ(AUC = 0.442, 95%CI = 0.280-0.610, P = 0.392); when the best cut-off value of 9-day PCTc was 93.00%, its sensitivity was 99.0%, and specificity was 87.3%. Conclusions The PCT level of patients with severe pneumonia remained at a high level, which was related with the deterioration of the disease. PCTc, as an index to evaluate the clinical outcome of patients with severe pneumonia, has good application value.

Objective To study the impacts of alcohol dependence on the anticonvulsant effect of diazepam. Meth?ods Kunming mice (n=36) were divided into 3 groups (n=12 in each group), Alcohol Dependence Group(A group), Diaze?pam Group(D group)and Normal Saline Group(N group). A group received an intraperitoneal injection with a 0.2 mL dose of 0.8%alcohol in NS (normal saline) , while both D and N group received an injection with a 0.2 mL dose of NS without alco?hol , twice a day. Mice’s autonomic activities were monitored every day. After 7 days, the electroconvulsive experiment was performed. Both A and D group were given a weight-based dose of 0.05 mL/10 g of 0.05%diazepam via intraperitoneal injec? tion, while N group was given a 0.05 mL/10 g dose of NS. Before administration and after 15, 30, 60 min of administration, the convulsion threshold of each group was measured. Results The count of autonomic activity of mice in A group was less than that of mice in D and N group during the 2nd day to 6th day(P<0.05). On the 1st and 7th day, the difference of the count of autonomic activity of mice between A group and the other two groups was not statistically significant(P>0.05). The convulsion threshold of mice in A group was higher than that of mice in D and N group before administration(P<0.05). Af?ter administration, the convulsion threshold of mice in N group didn’t show statistically significant difference from that of mice before administration(P>0.05). After 15 min of administration, the convulsion threshold of mice in D group was high?er than that of mice in A and N group(P<0.05), while the convulsion threshold of mice in A group was higher than that of mice in N group(P<0.05). After 30 min and 60 min of administration, both the convulsion thresholds of mice in A and D group were higher than that of mice in N group(P<0.05). However, at this point, the difference of the convulsion thresholds of mice between A and D group was not statistically significant(P>0.05). Conclusion Alcohol dependence has anticon?vulsant effect. Alcohol dependence weakens the anticonvulsant effect of diazepam.
