Objective: This study aimed to explore the relationships between various exercise components (frequency, intensity, duration) and social anxiety. Methods: A sample of 844 college students in China participated in this study. The Physical Activity Rating Scale-3 assessed participants’ daily physical activity. Social anxiety levels were measured using the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale. A questionnaire was developed to collect demographic information and examine the relationships between exercise components and social anxiety levels. Results: One-way analysis of variance revealed significant differences in social anxiety levels across varying physical activity intensities. Specifically, students engaging in high levels of physical activity exhibited the lowest social anxiety. Post hoc analyses identified that exercise frequency F3 (p<0.01), exercise duration D5 (p<0.01), and exercise intensity I3 (p<0.01) were significantly associated with the lowest social anxiety levels. Among these components, regression analysis indicated that exercise duration (p<0.01) had the most substantial impact on social anxiety levels, followed by exercise frequency (p<0.05). In contrast, exercise intensity (p>0.05) did not significantly affect social anxiety levels. Conclusion The most influential factors associated with decreased social anxiety were: 1) moderate to high exercise intensity, 2) exercise duration of at least one hour, and 3) exercise frequency of at least 1–2 times per week. Among these factors, exercise duration and frequency demonstrated significantly stronger associations with reduced social anxiety. Therefore, it is advisable to prioritize exercise duration and frequency in physical activity programs for college students to reduce social anxiety and achieve more substantial outcomes.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of arc-edge needle therapy based on Zaodian theory in the treatment of refractory tennis elbow.Methods 64 patients with refractory tennis elbow were collected and randomly divided into a control group and an observation group using a random number table method.Among them,32 cases in the control group were treated with local pain point injection.32 patients in the observation group were treated with arc-edge needle therapy once a week,with two treatments per group.The Number rating scale(NRS)Mayo,elbow joint performance score(MEPS)and Disabilities of the arm,shoulder and hand(DASH)score were recorded and compared between the two groups before treatment and at 1,2,4 and 24 weeks of follow-up after treatment,disease efficacy score(WDES)at 24 weeks of follow-up.Results During the treat-ment process,neither group of patients experienced serious adverse reactions.At each stage after treatment,two groups of NRS MEPS,DASH,and WDES at 24 weeks of follow-up all improved compared to before treatment.After one week of treatment,there was no statistically significant difference in NRS scores between the two groups(P>0.05).At follow-up visits at weeks 2,4,and 24,the NRS scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group.After 1,2,4,and 24 weeks of follow-up after treatment,the DASH score was lower in the observation group than in the control group,and the MEPS score was higher in the observation group than in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).After 24 weeks of treatment,the WDES of the observation group was better than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Local pain point injection and arc-edge Zaodian release can alleviate pain and improve elbow joint function in the early stage of refractory tennis elbow.However,the long-term effect of local pain point injection treatment is not good,and the treatment effect of the observation group gradually improves.

Objective To explore the changes of serum amyloid A (SAA) level and its clinical significance in patients with post-stroke depression (PSD). Methods One hundred and sixty-four patients with acute ischemic stroke, admitted to our hospital from January 2016 to June 2017 were assessed with Hamilton Depression Scale-17 (HAMD-17) to evaluate the depression degrees, and accordingly, they were divided into PSD group (n=57) and non-PSD group (n=107). Healthy volunteers who were examined in the corresponding period were selected as healthy control group (n=50). The SAA level was determined with ELISA in subjects of the 3 groups. Clinical data were collected; single factor analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were performed to select the risk factors of PSD. Results The SAA level in PSD group ([18.85±5.25] mg/L) was significantly higher than that in the non-PSD group ([15.25±5.75] mg/L) and healthy control group ([7.65±4.50] mg/L, P<0.05); that in the non-PSD group was significantly higher than that in the healthy control group (P<0.05). Single factor analysis showed that differences in education level, introversion, economic status, living alone, marital status, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores≥9 at admission, complications, and proportion of key area infarction (frontal lobe and basal ganglia) had statistical significance between PSD group and non-PSD group (P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that introversion, poor economic status, living alone, NIHSS scores≥9, infarction of key areas, and elevation of SAA level (OR=1.545, P=0.035, 95％ CI: 1.257-1.898) were independent risk factors for PSD (P<0.05). Conclusion SAA used as one of the detection biomarkers has great significance in early diagnosis, intervention and clinical prevention for PSD.

BACKGROUND:Percutaneous pedicle screw fixation has been applied in the treatment of thoracolumbar fracture,and has achieved satisfactory clinical efficacy.Injectable calcium sulfate holds good biocompatibility,degradability and fast curing.OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical efficacy of percutaneous pedicle screw fixation combined with calcium sulfate cement for single-level thoracolumbar fracture.METHODS:Clinical data of 40 patients with single-level thoracolumbar fracture without nerve injury were analyzed retrospectively.All fractured vertebrae were compressed more than 30％ and at least one pedicle was complete.All patients were treated with percutaneous pedicle screw fixation combined with calcium sulfate cement.The Visual Analog Scale and Oswestry Disability Index scores were recorded at baseline,3 months postoperatively and last follow-up;the height of the fractured vertebra body and sagittal Cobb angle were measured on X-ray;the patient's satisfaction and healing rate were recorded.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The Oswestry Disability Index at 3 months postoperatively and last follow-up was 16.3％ and 4.4％,respectively.Compared with baseline,the Cobb angle and Visual Analog Scale scores were significantly reduced,and height of the fractured vertebra body was significantly increased after surgery (P ＜ 0.01).(3) The healing rate at last follow-up was 95％,nonunion was not found,and the patients' satisfaction reached 95％.(4) The loss of vertebral height and Cobb angle was found at last follow-up compared with 3 months postoperatively,but had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).(5) These results indicate that percutaneous pedicle screw fixation combined with calcium sulfate cement is safe and reliable for single-level thoraclumbar fracture,which not only restores the vertebral height and relieves pain,but also has satisfactory long-term curative efficacy and high healing rate.

BACKGROUND: Thoracolumbar fracture is most common seen in spinal fractures. The paraspinal muscle is subjected to extensive detachment and traction in traditional posterior approach, so the muscular ischemia and denervation lead to muscle atrophy further inducing intractable low back pain. Thereafter, minimally invasive spinal surgery becomes more and more popular.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical efficacy of pedicle screw fixation through Wiltse approach combined with injectable calcium sulfate bone cement for single-level thoracolumbar fracture.METHODS: Clinical data of 52 patients with single-level thoracolumbar fracture without nerve injury were analyzed retrospectively, and were then assigned to observation (n=28) and control groups (n=24) according to the treatment method. The patients in the observation group were treated with pedicle screw fixation through Wiltse approach plus implanted with injectable calcium sulfate bone cement, and those in the control group were subjected to pedicle screw fixation through posterior approach plus implanted with injectable calcium sulfate bone cement. The operation time, blood loss and hospitalization time were compared between two groups. The low back pain was observed at baseline, 1 week and 3 months postoperatively, and the percentage of anterior vertebral height revealed on X-ray was observed at baseline, before ambulation, and during last follow-up. Moreover, the complications, loosening and rupture of the screws were recorded.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) All patients were followed up, and the follow-up time was 16-24 months. (2) The operation time, blood loss and hospitalization time in the observation group were significantly less than those in the control group (P < 0.05). (3) The postoperative visual analogue scale scores in the two groups were significantly lower than those before surgery, and the scores showed significant differences between two groups (P < 0.05). (4) The percentage of anterior vertebral height before ambulation and during last follow-up in the two groups was significantly improved, and the percentage showed significant difference between two groups at each time point (P < 0.05). (5) These findings suggest that based on strict indications, the pedicle screw fixation through Wiltse approach combined with injectable calcium sulfate bone cement is safe for single-level thoracolumbar fracture, which restores the anterior vertebral height rapidly, alleviates pain and exhibits satisfactory long-term efficacy. Furthermore, it holds shorter operation time and less blood loss than the traditional approach.

Objective To discuss the feasibility and reproducibility of left ventricular volume and function of patients with left atrial remodeling and left ventricular remodeling by 3-dimensional echocardiography HeartModel (3D-HM).Methods Three-dimensional images of 156 subjects were collected under HMACQ imaging mode.They were assigned into three groups:① control group (group A,n =70);② group of left ventricular remodeling after,acute myocardial infarction (group B,n =17);③group of hypertension left atrial remodeling (group C,n =69).3D-HM method was used for quantifying left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV),left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV),left atrial end-systolic volume (LAESV) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),and the results were compared with conventional 3D-manual results.The reproducibility of the 3D-HM method within one group and among different groups was evaluated.Results There was a significant difference in all the parameters measured with the 3D-HM method in different groups(P ＜0.05).LVEDV,LVESV,and LAESV in group B were higher than those in group A and group C(P ＜0.05),and LVEF was lower than that in group A and group C(P ＜0.05),LAESV of group C was higher than that of group A(P ＜0.05).The difference in the measurements of LVEDV and LVESV between the two methods was greatest in group B compared with group C and group A(P ＜0.05).In group C,the measured value difference of LAESV between two methods was greater than that of group A (P =0.03).There was closer correlation among LVEDV,LVESV,LAESV and LVEF measured values of 3D-HM method as well as measured values of the 3D-manual method (r =0.94,0.97,0.91 and 0.90).The data post-processing time of 3D-HM was significantly shorter than that of 3D-manual (P ＜0.05).The inter-observer and intra-observer difference of measured values of 3D-HM method had no statistical significance (P ＞0.05).Conclusions 3D-HM is a fast and feasible technique with high reproducibility for quantifying the left ventricular volume and function in patients with left atrial remodeling and left ventricular remodeling.
