RESUMO
Objective To investigate the change rule of T1ρ value in the process of lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration(IVDD)based on Pfirrmann grading by Meta-analysis.Methods PubMed,EMBASE,Cochrane Library,CNKI,Wanfang Data,VIP and Sinomed were searched to collect studies on quantitative assessment of IVDD using T1ρ imaging technology.The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of the database to December 20,2022.Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 and Stata 14.0 software.Results A total of 12 articles were included,and the numbers of Pfirrmann grade Ⅰ-Ⅴ lumbar discs were 316,1 460,769,430 and 98,respectively.T1ρ relaxation time decreased gradually with the increase of the grade of degeneration.The T1ρ values of grade Ⅰlumbar discs were significantly higher than those of grade Ⅱ lumbar discs[weighted mean difference(WMD)=14.55,95%confidence interval(CI)6.35-22.75,P<0.01],and the T1ρ values of grade Ⅱ lumbar discs were significantly higher than those of grade Ⅲlumbar discs(WMD=34.20,95%CI 27.05-41.34,P<0.01).The T1ρ values of grade Ⅲ lumbar discs were significantly higher than that of grade Ⅳ lumbar discs(WMD=22.94,95%CI 17.08-28.80,P<0.01).The T1ρ values of grade Ⅳ lumbar discs were significantly higher than that of grade Ⅴ lumbar discs(WMD=9.35,95%CI 6.81-11.89,P<0.01).Conclusion T1ρ imaging technology can objectively and quantitatively evaluate degeneration at different stages,especially sensitive to IVDD in the early and middle stages,which can provide imaging evidence for clinical diagnosis of early IVDD.
RESUMO
Objective To compare the image quality of carotid contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography(ceMRA)under different flow rates using high relaxation rate contrast agent named Gadobutrol,and to find the best flow rate for carotid ceMRA.Methods Total of 117 patients,who were scheduled to perform carotid ceMRA examination using Gadobutrol with a dosage of 0.1 mL/kg body weight on a 1.5T MR platform,were enrolled in the study.They were divided into four groups according to four kinds of flow rates,which were 1.0 mL/s(n=29),1.5 mL/s(n=30),2.0 mL/s(n=30)and 3.0 mL/s(n=28).The signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)of bilateral carotid initiation and bilateral carotid bifurcation were calculated.The SNR of carotid initiation or carotid bifurca-tion between different flow rates were compared.And the scores of image quality among different flow rates were also compared.Results For bilateral carotid bifurcations and carotid initiations,the SNR under 1.5 mL/s were highest,which were significantly higher than those under 1.0 mL/s,while there were no significant differences between each two other flow rates.For the bilateral carotid bifurca-tions,the SNR under 1.0 mL/s were lower than those under other flow rates,and were significantly lower than those under 1.5 mL/s and 3.0 mL/s.The score of the image quality at 1.0 mL/s was significantly lower than that under other flow rates.The score of the image quality at 1.5 mL/s was the highest,but no significant difference was found compared to that at 2.0 mL/s or 3.0 mL/s.Conclusion The rate of 1.5 mL/s is recommended as the best flow rate for carotid ceMRA with Gadobutrol based on 1.5T MR.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine combined with chloroprocaine on epidural anesthesia for cesarean section.Methods:A total of 133 women who underwent epidural anesthesia for cesarean section at the Department of Anesthesiology, Jinhua People's Hospital between January 2020 and December 2022 were included in this prospective case-control study. These women were divided into a ropivacaine group ( n = 66) and a chloroprocaine group ( n = 67) using a random number table method. The ropivacaine group received epidural anesthesia with dexmedetomidine combined with ropivacaine, while the chloroprocaine group received epidural anesthesia with dexmedetomidine combined with chloroprocaine. The anesthesia effect (anesthesia onset time, anesthesia duration, peak effect time), changes in blood pressure (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure), adverse reactions (shivering, nausea and vomiting, urinary retention, skin itching, numbness of lower limbs), and satisfaction with muscle relaxation were observed in the two groups. Results:The anesthesia onset time, anesthesia duration, and peak effect time in the chloroprocaine group were (6.91 ± 1.54) minutes, (61.54 ± 5.31) minutes, and (11.79 ± 4.12) minutes, respectively, which were significantly shorter than those in the ropivacaine group [(9.65 ± 1.92) minutes, (83.57 ± 6.69) minutes, (18.32 ± 4.81) minutes, t = 9.08, 21.05, 8.41, all P < 0.001). The systolic and diastolic blood pressure increased in both groups after 10 minutes of anesthesia and at the end of the procedure; however, the increments observed in the chloroprocaine group were relatively smaller. There were significant differences in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, measured at 10 minutes of anesthesia and at the end of the procedure, between the two groups ( F = 7.36, P < 0.001; F = 5.12, P = 0.001). There were significant differences in systolic and diastolic blood pressure between different time points ( F = 10.03, P < 0.001; F = 6.72, P < 0.001). The group-by-time interaction effect on systolic and diastolic blood pressure was also highly significant ( F = 9.83, P < 0.001; F = 8.01, P < 0.001). The chloroprocaine group exhibited a significantly lower incidence of adverse reactions compared with the ropivacaine group [4.48% (3/67) vs. 15.15% (10/66), χ2 = 4.29, P < 0.05). Additionally, the chloroprocaine group had a significantly higher satisfaction rate with muscle relaxation compared with the ropivacaine group [94.03% (63/66) vs. 81.82% (54/66), Z = 5.73, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:The combination of dexmedetomidine and chloroprocaine offers remarkable benefits in epidural anesthesia for cesarean sections. This combined approach not only enhances epidural anesthesia but also stabilizes the blood pressure of puerperants, reduces adverse reactions, and provides exceptional muscle relaxation. It deserves consideration for clinical application.

Objective To evaluate the effects of low pneumoperitoneum pressure under deep muscle relaxation on inflammatory factors,oxidative stress and morphology of distal greater omental capillary endothelial cells in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy(LAG)for gastric cancer.Methods Sixty patients with LAG were selected from January to June 2022,45 males and 15 females,aged 40-75 years,BMI 18-30 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ.Patients were randomly divided into two groups:low pneumoperitoneum pressure group(group PL)and the control group(group PH),30 patients in each group.Both groups were treated with deep muscle relaxation condition(PTC=1 or 2),and the pneumo-peritoneum pressure was set at 10 mmHg in group PL,and 14 mmHg in group PH.The duration of pneumo-peritoneum maintenance,surgical time,anesthesia time,extubation time,PACU stay time,postoperative hospitalization time,the number of effective PCIA compressions and total PCIA compressions within 48 hours after surgery,and number of relief analgesia were recorded.The plasma concentrations of interleukin-1 β(IL-1β),interleukin-6(IL-6),and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),contents of malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD),and reduced glutathione(GSH)were recorded 5 minutes before induction,5 minutes before abdominal closure,and 24 hours after surgery.The morphology of capillary en-dothelial cells in the omental membrane was observed 5 minutes after opening abdomen and 5 minutes before abdominal closure.Results Compared with group PH,the number of effective PCIA compressions and total PCIA compressions in group PL were significantly reduced within 48 hours after surgery(P<0.05),the concentration of IL-6 was significantly decreased in group PL 5 minutes before abdominal closure and 24 hours after surgery(P<0.05),the content of MDA was significantly decreased in group PL 5 minutes be-fore abdominal closure(P<0.05).The endothelial cell of the greater omental capillaries was slightly edematous and unevenly thick,while the nuclear contractile function was slightly weakened and the vascular lumen was moderately narrowed in group PL 5 minutes before abdominal closure.By contrast,the group PH showed obvious swelling of the endothelial cells with significant intracellular fluid accumulation and severe edema,while the vascular lumen turned to be extremely narrow and the nucleus became severe swelling.Conclusion The use of deep muscle relaxation with low abdominal pressure at 10 mmHg in laparoscopic surgery for gastric cancer can diminish inflammation and oxidative stress,alleviating postoperative pain,re-duce the pneumoperitoneum pressure-induced damage on capillary endothelial cells,and leading to better early postoperative recovery.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION@#Due to COVID-19 pandemic, many have shifted into working at home which led to physical inactivity. This may cause musculoskeletal discomfort, chronic disease, muscle atrophy and spinal imbalance due to improper and prolonged sitting posture. Since mobile devices are relatively available for most of the office workers, there were still a lack of evidence-based mobile applications that can counteract the inactivity through exercises, which led to the researchers to create an application called SitMate that consists of evidence-based exercises which aimed to prevent musculoskeletal discomfort among a business process outsourcing company Workforce Management Personnel (BPO-WMP).@*METHODS@#Eleven participants (18-40 years old) full-time, work-from-home BPO-WMP were randomized into Treatment Group(TG)(n=6) and Control Group (CG)(n=5). The TG received one month intervention with the use of SitMate Application containing relaxation exercises, range of motion exercises and stretching exercises, and notifications for postural correction while the CG continued their usual working schedule.@*RESULTS@#There were no significant differences between two groups on all body parts that were measured using the Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire, and no significant differences in the intragroup pre-test and post-test scores on all body parts between TG and CG. For the intra-group post-test of the TG, there were noted improvements on the hip/buttock, right shoulder, upper back (median = 0) and right wrist (median = 1.5). There was also a noted increase in discomfort on the neck (median = 1.5) and lower back (median = 3). For the post-test of the CG, there were noted improvements on the right shoulder, right wrist (median = 0) and lower back (median = 1.5).@*CONCLUSION@#This study has shown that the SitMate application does not effectively reduce the prolonged sitting-related discomfort among the personnel after 1 month of intervention.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of fat suction combined with bipolar radiofrequency on face and neck rejuvenation.Methods:A total of 115 patients with face and neck fat deposits and skin laxity underwent fat suction combined with bipolar radiofrequency between December 2021 and October 2022 by the same surgeon in Changsha My Like Medical Cosmetology Hospital. There were 3 men and 112 women in this research. The mean age was 36.1 years (range, 26-55 years) and the mean body mass index was 21.4 (range, 16.8-27.7 kg/cm 2). Postoperative patient satisfaction surveys were conducted and 2 independent doctors evaluated clinical effect with preoperative and postoperative photographs at 3-6 months postoperatively. Results:The mean amount of fat aspirated was 44.5 ml (range, 10-92 ml) and the mean energy delivered was 4.5 kJ (range, 2.1-8.9 ml). 88.7% of patients were satisfied with their postoperative effect (102/115 patients). 92.2% of doctors were satisfied with the postoperative effect (106/115 patients). Four out of 115 patients (3.5%) developed irregularity by fat suction.Conclusions:Fat suction combined with bipolar radiofrequency can effectively reduce the fat accumulation of facial and neck and significantly improve skin relaxation. It is an effective method to rejuvenate facial and neck.
RESUMO
Objective To study stress relaxation behaviors of cartilage scaffolds under different degradation cycles by using finite element analysis combined with theoretical models. Methods Based on the established degradation theoretical model, the elastic modulus of the scaffold was calculated under different degradation cycles. The finite element model of cartilage scaffolds was established and stress relaxation simulation was performed to analyze the variation of scaffold relaxation stress with time. The stress relaxation constitutive model was established to predict mechanical properties of the scaffold. Results The elastic modulus of cartilage scaffolds at 14 th, 28th, 42nd, 56th day after degradation was 32. 35, 31. 12, 29. 91, 28. 74 kPa, respectively. The upper layer for cartilage scaffolds was the largest. The overall relaxation stress of the scaffold decreased rapidly with time and then tended to be stable. At 8th week after degradation, the stress which the scaffold couldwithstand was still within the physiological load range of the cartilage. The predicted results of the stress relaxation constitutive model were in good agreement with the finite element simulation results. Conclusions The elastic modulus of the scaffold gradually decreases with the increase of degradation time. The longer the degradation period is, the less stress the scaffold can withstand. At the same degradation period, the larger the applied compressive strain, the larger the stress on the scaffold. Both the finite element simulation and stress relaxation constitutive model can effectively predict stress variations of cartilage scaffolds under degradation

ABSTRACT Introduction: Dance sport is an emerging sport activity. The number of college students devoted to the study of dance is increasing. Basic dance sport skills are inherent to performance. Basic skills training requires dancers to have a certain degree of flexibility, endurance, speed, etc. Currently, we know that CORE strength training can improve the physical function of athletes, but studies are scarce as to its true impact on proprioceptive skills in dance sports. Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of strengthening the CORE on muscle coordination in sport dancers. This paper examines the relationship between core strength training and dance skills in athletes. Methods: Undergraduate sport dance students were randomly and voluntarily selected. These students undergo a 4-month training protocol in CORE strengthening. The effect of this experiment was evaluated with biomarker and kinetic data collected before and after the experiment. These data were worked out statistically and the results were discussed according to the literature. Results: After the CORE training protocol, the sport dance students had significant differences in physical tests(P<0.05). Conclusion: CORE training can promote physical stability, explosive power and muscle coordination in sport dancers. Level of evidence II; Training research - outcome investigation.

RESUMO
ABSTRACT Introduction: In training, fatigue and recovery are antagonistic factors. Physical rehabilitation of athletes and elimination of sports fatigue have gradually become essential factors in improving competitiveness. Muscle relaxation exercises can reduce badminton players' physical effort, allowing them to recover quickly. Objective: Analyze muscle relaxation's effect on fatigue relief until the normalization of physical strength in badminton players. Methods: Twelve badminton players were grouped in cross-sectional tests. During the three weeks of physical training, players performed two training methods: muscle relaxation and complete rest. Laboratory analysis encompassed blood biomarkers such as urea and creatine kinase. Data were collected before and after the interventions, confronted, and studied mathematically and statistically. Results: The proportions of leukocytes and lymphocytes in the muscle relaxation group after resistance exercise were lower than before. The decrease of morning leukocytes in the muscle relaxation group on the second day was less than in the resting group. The recovery effect of the lymphocyte ratio was also better. After special strength training, the value of creatine kinase was significantly higher than before exercise in both the muscle relaxation group and the complete rest group. Conclusion: Muscle relaxation can reduce exercise fatigue in badminton players. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

Background: Asanas or posture practice brings mental stability and fickleness of mind can be also prevented. Studies showed effects of different yoga on reaction time but there is very limited study to show effects of yogic relaxation practices only on reaction time. Aim and Objectives: This study was conducted to find out after effects of yogic relaxation practices on physiological parameters and reaction time comparing it with age matched control group. Materials and Methods: We included 18 participants of age 18–45 years each in yoga group (31.94 ± 7.64) and control group (31.39 ± 6.84). Ethical approval for the study was obtained from the Institute Ethics Committee and All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. Data (blood pressure [BP], pulse rate, respiratory rate, visual, and auditory reaction time) were collected before and after 3rd week of yogic relaxation practices (shavasan and makrasan) in yoga group; likewise, data were collected without yogic relaxation practices in control group. Results: The gain score of the studied parameters was negative (<0) for yoga group, but positive (>0) for controls, indicates that yoga intervention resulted reduction in the values of yoga group. Result showed that change in studied parameters due to yoga intervention was statistically significant more in cases of yoga group to the change in control group with exception of RR and pulse rate. Parameters were comparable or similar between the two groups on baseline, we found statistically significant lower values for BP, visual, and auditory reaction time on 3rd week in yoga group. Conclusion: The beneficial effect of reduction in visual and auditory reaction time after practicing yogic relaxation can be applied to training curriculum.
