Despite networked cognitive training has been demonstrated to enhance cognitive function in MCI, its effectiveness for negative emotions is still unknown. This review aimed to exam the influences of networked cognitive training on negative emotions and quality of life in people with MCI. Methods: Searches for eligible studies were conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Psyc INFO, CNKI, Wanfang database, VIP database, and Sinomed. The retrieval time limit was set from their inception to 17 December 2025. The articles were reviewed and extracted by two researchers, and their quality was evaluated using the Cochrane risk-of-bias assessment tool. Subsequently, a meta-analysis was carried out utilizing RevMan 5.4 software. Results: The review comprised 13 randomized controlled trials with 626 individuals. The meta-analysis demonstrated that networked cognitive training significantly improved depression (SMD = -0.36;95% CI [-0.73, -0.00];p = .050), anxiety (SMD = -0.32;95% CI [-0.57, -0.06];p < .050), and quality of life (MD = 2.54;95% CI [0.98, 4.10];p < .001). In terms of the comparison of apathy, the effect of intervention was unclear. Conclusions: From these meta-analysis results, networked cognitive training may help patients for MCI with their anxiety, depression, and overall quality of life. However, because there are so few randomized controlled trials available, the evidence regarding apathy is still ambiguous. More thorough randomized controlled trials with larger samples are necessary to verify the significance of networked cognitive training on apathy and to consolidate the findings.展开更多

文摘Background Obesity is a risk factor for developing cardiometabolic disease.Exercise training is pivotal in the treatment of obesity and is associated with reduced cardiovascular mortality.This study examined the effect of high-fat feeding on cardiac morphology and mitochondrial function,alongside the mitigating effects of voluntary exercise training.Methods Six-week-old male C57Bl/6 J mice commenced a high fat diet(HFD)or chow diet and were randomized to receive locked(sedentary)or unlocked(voluntary exercise training(VET))running wheels at 10 weeks of age.Mice were monitored until 30 weeks of age and euthanized for collection of tissues.Magnetic resonance imaging was performed to assess body composition,and echocardiography was performed to assess cardiac function.Results Compared with chow-fed animals,the HFD increased body weight and adiposity and decreased cardiolipins(CL)in the heart,which are required for maintaining adequate mitochondrial respiration.Importantly,VET reversed these effects and induced physiological cardiac hypertrophy.Cardiac mitochondrial respiratory chain analysis revealed decreased complexes II and IV activity following high fat feeding,while VET enhanced complex I activity,emphasizing the cardioprotective effect of exercise training in obesity.Conclusion This study uncovers mechanisms by which obesity and exercise impact cardiac mitochondrial health and suggests the mitochondria is a therapeutic target in obesity-related cardiovascular diseases.
文摘Background This study compared knee osteoarthritis(OA)outcomes specific to pain,physical function,and quality of life in later life based on strength training(ST)participation over a lifetime.Methods Participants from the Osteoarthritis Initiative(n=3192)were grouped by ST engagement during ages 12–18 years,19–34 years,35–49 years,and 50+years.Participants were categorized as:No ST(no ST at any point;61.7±9.0 years(mean±SD)),Some ST(engaged in ST during 1–3 life stages;58.9±8.7 years),and Lifelong ST(consistently engaged in ST across all life stages;55.6±8.1 years).Measures were collected at baseline and Year 4:Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index Scores(WOMAC;pain,daily activities),Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score(KOOS;sports,recreation),Physical Activity Score for the Elderly(PASE),Short Form-12 Physical Component Score(SF-12 PCS),mobility disability,chair rise time,and walking speed(20 m and 400 m).Results At Year 4,the Lifelong ST group reported better WOMAC activity scores in the right knee along with better WOMAC pain,KOOS sports/recreation,and PASE scores compared to other groups(p<0.05).The Lifelong ST group had the lowest incidence of mobility disability of all groups(0.8%vs.2.3%–4.1%;p=0.015)and maintained the fastest walking speeds in Year 4.Conclusion For those with knee OA,ST throughout life may help preserve function and mobility,allowing for greater physical activity engagement while keeping pain levels relatively lower.
文摘Purpose: Individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) frequently experience negative emotions, which are closely correlated with an accelerated rate of cognitive decline and the subsequent transition to a state of dementia. Despite networked cognitive training has been demonstrated to enhance cognitive function in MCI, its effectiveness for negative emotions is still unknown. This review aimed to exam the influences of networked cognitive training on negative emotions and quality of life in people with MCI. Methods: Searches for eligible studies were conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Psyc INFO, CNKI, Wanfang database, VIP database, and Sinomed. The retrieval time limit was set from their inception to 17 December 2025. The articles were reviewed and extracted by two researchers, and their quality was evaluated using the Cochrane risk-of-bias assessment tool. Subsequently, a meta-analysis was carried out utilizing RevMan 5.4 software. Results: The review comprised 13 randomized controlled trials with 626 individuals. The meta-analysis demonstrated that networked cognitive training significantly improved depression (SMD = -0.36;95% CI [-0.73, -0.00];p = .050), anxiety (SMD = -0.32;95% CI [-0.57, -0.06];p < .050), and quality of life (MD = 2.54;95% CI [0.98, 4.10];p < .001). In terms of the comparison of apathy, the effect of intervention was unclear. Conclusions: From these meta-analysis results, networked cognitive training may help patients for MCI with their anxiety, depression, and overall quality of life. However, because there are so few randomized controlled trials available, the evidence regarding apathy is still ambiguous. More thorough randomized controlled trials with larger samples are necessary to verify the significance of networked cognitive training on apathy and to consolidate the findings.
文摘This paper studies the structural response of high-speed train wipers under the combined action of complex flow fields and scraping actions.The stress concentration areas are determined through simulation analysis,and the stress and aerodynamic load measurement points are reasonably arranged accordingly.The actual measurement is carried out in combination with the operating conditions of the existing lines.The stress variations and spectral characteristics of the train under different speed levels(80,160,180,200 km/h),tunnel entry and exit,and scraper action conditions were compared and analyzed.The stress amplification factors under tunnel intersection and scraper action were obtained,providing boundary conditions for the design of wipers for highspeed s.The research results show that the maximum stress of the wiper structure obtained through simulation calculation is concentrated at the connection of the wiper arm.Structural stress increases with the rise of speed grade.The stress increases by 1.11 times when the tunnel meets.When the scraper operates,the stress on the scraper arm increases by 4.1–7.6 times.Due to the broadband excitation effect of the aerodynamic load,the spectral energy of the structure is relatively high at the natural frequency,which excites the natural mode of the wiper.

文摘Objectives:Postmenopausal women with stress urinary incontinence(SUI)exhibit low androgen expression.This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vaginal androgen combined with pelvic floor muscle training(PFMT)in the treatment of SUI in postmenopausal women.Methods:Postmenopausal women with SUI were recruited from Hainan West Central Hospital between January 2024 and March 2025.Participants were randomly assigned in a double-blind manner to receive either vaginal androgen cream combined with PFMT(treatment group)or a visually identical placebo cream(without androgens)combined with PFMT(control group).The vaginal cream was applied to the vaginal wall at a dose of 0.5 g per application,twice weekly for a total of 10 applications,while PFMT was conducted for 8 weeks.The clinical efficacy and safety were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 61 patients were finally enrolled,with 31 in the treatment group and 30 in the control group.At both 3-month and 6-month follow-ups,the treatment group demonstrated significantly lower values in daily pad usage(p<0.05),24-h pad test scores(p<0.05),and ICIQ-UI SF scores(p<0.05)compared to the control group.The improvement rate of urinary incontinence was significantly higher in the treatment group(p<0.05).Compared to baseline,the treatment group showed statistically significant reductions in all three outcome measures(all p<0.05).No severe adverse events were reported in either group during the treatment period.Conclusions:Androgen therapy combined with PFMT significantly improved the urinary incontinence remission rate in postmenopausal women with SUI,with no severe adverse effects observed.These findings suggest that androgen therapy may represent a novel therapeutic approach for SUI management in postmenopausal women.
文摘[Objectives]To investigate the clinical efficacy of core stability training combined with conventional rehabilitation in the functional recovery of patients suffering from chronic low back pain.[Methods]A randomized controlled trial design was employed in this study.Ninety patients with chronic low back pain were recruited and randomly assigned to either a control group(n=45),which received conventional rehabilitation,or an experimental group(n=45),which received conventional rehabilitation combined with core stability training.Both groups underwent treatment for 6 weeks.Assessments were conducted using the visual analogue scale(VAS),Oswestry disability index(ODI),and finger-to-floor test prior to treatment,6 weeks following treatment,and during the follow-up period,respectively.[Results]Prior to treatment,no statistically significant differences were observed between the two patient groups in terms of general information and various baseline measurements(P>0.05).Following 6 weeks of treatment and throughout the follow-up period,both groups demonstrated significant improvements in VAS scores,ODI scores,and lumbar anteflexion range of motion compared to baseline measurements(P<0.05).Notably,the magnitude of improvement in the experimental group exceeded that of the control group,with this inter-group difference reaching statistical significance(P<0.05).No serious adverse reactions were reported during the treatment process.[Conclusions]Core stability training combined with conventional rehabilitation can significantly enhance the alleviation of pain and functional impairments in patients suffering from chronic low back pain.This approach holds valuable implications for the optimization of rehabilitation treatment protocols.

文摘Purpose-This study investigates the impact of flagship trains on high-speed railway capacity utilization and develops a brand value-oriented optimization framework that balances service quality enhancement with operational efficiency.Design/methodology/approach-A mathematical optimization model based on integer programming is developed,incorporating flagship train constraints into capacity optimization.Case studies compare scenarios with and without flagship train considerations using the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway data across 20 experimental groups.Findings-Operating flagship trains with hourly departure constraints results in an average decrease of 0.9 trains and an 8.4%reduction in capacity utilization rate.When scheduling 2 flagship trains within a 2-h timeframe,capacity utilization decreases from 86.43%to 83.73%,quantifying the trade-off between brand positioning and operational capacity.Originality/value-This research provides the first quantitative framework for brand value-oriented railway capacity optimization,establishing clear definitions for flagship trains and mathematical foundations for evaluating service quality versus efficiency trade-offs.The findings offer practical decision support for railway operators balancing competitive positioning with capacity maximization.
文摘BACKGROUND Orthopaedic surgical education has traditionally depended on the apprenticeship model of“see one,do one,teach one”.However,reduced operative exposure,stricter work-hour regulations,medicolegal constraints,and patient safety concerns have constrained its practicality.Simulation-based training has become a reliable,safe,and cost-efficient alternative.Dry lab techniques,especially virtual and augmented reality,make up 78%of current dry lab research,whereas wet labs still set the standard for anatomical realism.AIM To evaluate the effectiveness,limitations,and future directions of wet and dry lab simulation in orthopaedic training.METHODS A scoping review was carried out across four databases-PubMed,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,and EBSCOhost-up to 2025.Medical Subject Headings included:"Orthopaedic Education","Wet Lab","Dry Lab","Simulation Training","Virtual Reality",and"Surgical Procedure".Eligible studies focused on orthopaedic or spinal surgical education,employed wet or dry lab techniques,and assessed training effectiveness.Exclusion criteria consisted of non-English publications,abstracts only,non-orthopaedic research,and studies unrelated to simulation.Two reviewers independently screened titles,abstracts,and full texts,resolving discrepancies with a third reviewer.RESULTS From 1851 records,101 studies met inclusion:78 on dry labs,7 on wet labs,4 on both.Virtual reality(VR)simulations were most common,with AI increasingly used for feedback and assessment.Cadaveric training remains the gold standard for accuracy and tactile feedback,while dry labs-especially VR-offer scalability,lower cost(40%-60%savings in five studies),and accessibility for novices.Senior residents prefer wet labs for complex tasks;juniors favour dry labs for basics.Challenges include limited transferability data,lack of standard outcome metrics,and ethical concerns about cadaver use and AI assessment.CONCLUSION Wet and dry labs each have unique strengths in orthopaedic training.A hybrid approach combining both,supported by standardised assessments and outcome studies,is most effective.Future efforts should aim for uniform reporting,integrating new technologies,and policy support for hybrid curricula to enhance skills and patient care.

文摘The safe driving and operation of trains is a necessary condition for ensuring the safe operation of trains.In particular,heavy-haul trains are characterized by the difficulty in driving and operation.Considering the uncertainties in train driving and operation,this paper analyzes the relationship between the safety of heavy-haul electric locomotive hauled trains and driving and operation.It studies the auxiliary intelligent driving safety operation control methods.Through K-means to identify the characteristics of drivers'driving manipulation,the hidden Markov model adaptively adjusts the train driving and operation sequence,and conducts auxiliary driving reconstruction for heavy-haul locomotive driving and operation.Based on the train running curve and the locomotive traction/braking characteristics,it smoothly controls the exertion of the traction/braking force of heavy-haul locomotives,thereby optimizing the driving safety control of heavy-haul trains in the vehicle-environment-track system.Finally,the train operation simulation and optimized driving verification are carried out by simulating some track sections.The results show that the proposed method can correct and pre-optimize driving operations,improving the smoothness of heavy-haul trains by approximately 10%.It verifies the effectiveness of the proposed train assisted driving control reconstruction method,facilitating the smooth and safe operation of heavy-haul trains.
