Young athletes received either a 20 min TECAR(n = 24) or TENS(n = 26) session within 5 days following a hamstring injury, while the control(CON, n = 25)group was instructed to rest. Visual analogue scale(VAS), functional Assessment Scale for Acute Hamstring Injuries(FASH), straight leg raise test(SLR), and sit-and-reach scores(STR) were obtained prior to, immediately,24, and 48 h after therapy. Group differences were detected after therapy in VAS and FASH scores(p < 0.05).Compared to pre-therapy measurements, VAS scores showed a greater decrease in the TECAR group(-38.75% to-63.33%) than in the TENS group(-16.67% to-25.00%) and both were greater than in the CON group(-2.81%to-9.81%)(p < 0.05). The TECAR group improved FASH scores(28.57%–48.21%) more than the TENS group(15.89%–27.79%) and both groups more than the CON group(0%–8.33%)(p < 0.05). The increase in SLR and STR was greater in the TECAR group(6.26%–13.96%) than in the TENS(1.72%–9.53%) and CON groups(0%–3.03%). These results suggest that in the acute phase of hamstring injury, the use of TECAR and, to a lesser extent, TENS may relieve pain symptoms and bring some improvements in flexibility more than instructing patients to rest.展开更多

Young athletes received either a 20 min TECAR(n = 24) or TENS(n = 26) session within 5 days following a hamstring injury, while the control(CON, n = 25)group was instructed to rest. Visual analogue scale(VAS), functional Assessment Scale for Acute Hamstring Injuries(FASH), straight leg raise test(SLR), and sit-and-reach scores(STR) were obtained prior to, immediately,24, and 48 h after therapy. Group differences were detected after therapy in VAS and FASH scores(p < 0.05).Compared to pre-therapy measurements, VAS scores showed a greater decrease in the TECAR group(-38.75% to-63.33%) than in the TENS group(-16.67% to-25.00%) and both were greater than in the CON group(-2.81%to-9.81%)(p < 0.05). The TECAR group improved FASH scores(28.57%–48.21%) more than the TENS group(15.89%–27.79%) and both groups more than the CON group(0%–8.33%)(p < 0.05). The increase in SLR and STR was greater in the TECAR group(6.26%–13.96%) than in the TENS(1.72%–9.53%) and CON groups(0%–3.03%). These results suggest that in the acute phase of hamstring injury, the use of TECAR and, to a lesser extent, TENS may relieve pain symptoms and bring some improvements in flexibility more than instructing patients to rest.

文摘Overweight and obesity are significant public health concerns worldwide due to their association with many chronic health conditions.This has resulted in the development of various interventions focused on weight loss to reduce the associated health burden.Physical activity is an important lifestyle behavior associated with enhanced health.Evidence supports that many of the benefits of physical activity are realized independent of initial weight status or whether weight loss is achieved,with some benefits additive to what is achieved with weight loss alone.These benefits include enhanced cardiometabolic,brain,cognitive and psychological health,and others.Moreover,in adults with overweight or obesity,physical activity has independent effects on cardiorespiratory fitness,muscular strength,physical function,and mobility.There are also benefits to body composition,with physical activity improving the quality of key tissues,such as skeletal muscle,which may not occur with diet-induced weight loss.Therefore,physical activity is an important public health target for adults with overweight or obesity to provide a wide range of health benefits that extend beyond those of weight loss alone.However,physical activity recommendations and programming efforts should consider the unique characteristics of adults with overweight or obesity to be most effective,and should support a focus on mobility,physical function,and other health outcomes.

文摘The increasing complexity of intelligent sensing environments,driven by the growth of Internet of Things technologies,has created a strong demand for neuromorphic systems capable of real-time,low-power multisensory perception.Traditional sensory architectures,constrained by single-modal processing and centralized computing,struggle to meet the requirements of diverse and dynamic input conditions.Multisensory neuromorphic devices offer a promising solution by mimicking the distributed,event-driven processing of biological systems.Recent efforts have explored synaptic devices and material systems that respond to various input modalities,including visual,tactile,thermal,and chemical stimuli.However,challenges remain in signal conversion,encoding compatibility,and the fusion of heterogeneous inputs without loss of unisensory information.This review provides a comprehensive overview of the physical mechanisms,device behaviors,and integration strategies that underpin signal processing in neuromorphic hardware.We highlight synaptic mechanisms conducive to cross-modal interaction,analyze representative signal fusion approaches at the device level,and discuss future directions for constructing efficient,scalable,and biologically inspired multisensory neuromorphic systems.

文摘An advanced AlCrSiN/AlCrN/CrN/Cr multilayer coating was developed via hybrid multiarc ion plating and high-power impulse magnetron sputtering.The multilayer design enhanced the substrate-coating compatibility,achieving a critical load of 87.8 N.Silicon doping induced nanocrystallization and amorphization,increasing the hardness to 26 GPa.At high temperatures,a nanoscale Cr-rich(Cr,Al)_(2)O_(3) layer was formed,effectively inhibiting oxygen diffusion.The coating underwent unique phase transformations,during which Cr_(2)N and amorphous Si3N4 were converted into dispersed SiCr_(3) nanoparticles,which stabilized Cr atoms and suppressed their outward diffusion.Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations revealed that Cr atoms exhibited higher chemical activity and oxygen-capture capability than Al atoms and Si atoms served as diffusion barriers by pinning onto the oxidized surface,considerably improving the oxidation resistance of the coating.

文摘Alzheimer's disease is the primary cause of dementia and imposes a significant socioeconomic burden globally.Physical exercise,as an effective strategy for improving general health,has been largely reported for its effectiveness in slowing neurodegeneration and increasing brain functional plasticity,particularly in aging brains.However,the underlying mechanisms of exercise in cognitive aging remain largely unclear.Adiponectin,a cell-secreted protein hormone,has recently been found to regulate synaptic plasticity and mediate the antidepressant effects of physical exercise.Studies on the neuroprotective effects of adiponectin have revealed potential innovative treatments for Alzheimer's disease.Here,we reviewed the functions of adiponectin and its receptor in the brains of human and animal models of cognitive impairment.We summarized the role of adiponectin in Alzheimer's disease,focusing on its impact on energy metabolism,insulin resistance,and inflammation.We also discuss how exercise increases adiponectin secretion and its potential benefits for learning and memory.Finally,we highlight the latest research on chemical compounds that mimic exerciseenhanced secretion of adiponectin and its receptor in Alzheimer's disease.

文摘AIM:To explore the causal relationship between several possible behavioral factors and high myopia(HM)using multivariable Mendelian randomization(MVMR)approach and to find the mediators among them with mediation analysis.METHODS:The causal effects of several behavioral factors,including screen time,education time,time spent outdoors,and physical activity,on the risk of HM using univariable Mendelian randomization(MR)and MVMR analyses were first assessed.Genome-wide association study summary statistics of serum metabolites were also used in mediation analysis to determine the extent to which serum metabolites mediate the effects of behavioral factors on HM.RESULTS:MR analyses indicated that both increased time spent outdoors and a higher frequency of moderate physical activity significantly reduced the risk of HM.Further MVMR analysis confirmed that moderate physical activity independently contributed to a lower risk of HM.Additionally,MR analyses identified 13 serum metabolites significantly associated with HM,of which 12 were lipids and one was an amino acid derivative.Mediation analysis revealed that six lipid metabolites mediated the protective effects of moderate physical activity on HM,with the highest mediation proportion observed for 1-(1-enyl-palmitoyl)-GPC(p-16:0;30.83%).CONCLUSION:This study suggests that in addition to outdoor time,moderate physical activity habits may have an independent protective effect against HM and pointed to lipid metabolites as priority targets for the prevention due to low physical activity.These results emphasize the importance of physical activity and metabolic health in HM and underscore the need for further study of these complex associations.

文摘With the improvement of living standards and the shift in societal consumption attitudes,consumers demand for the quality of aquatic products is increasingly stringent.Freshness and quality have become primary factors determining consumers purchasing decisions.However,due to the high moisture content,active endogenous enzymes,and rich nutrients in aquatic products,both fresh and processed products are highly susceptible to quality deterioration during procurement,distribution,and storage,which leads to a significant decline in sensory quality and nutritional value,while also compromising safety.Today,the consumption of high-quality aquatic products has become a prevailing trend.This paper reviewed the methods for freshness evaluation and quality grading of aquatic products in terms of sensory and nutritional aspects,aiming to support the market circulation principle of"higher price for better quality"and"price based on quality",and better meeting consumer demands.Therefore,it is imperative to enhance the analysis and evaluation of aquatic product quality and to continuously refine assessment systems and methods,which is crucial for promoting industry transformation and fostering a healthy market-consumer economic cycle.
文摘Background:Depression is prevalent among female college students,with eating behavior potentially related to this issue.This study examines the relationship between eating behavior and depression,focusing on the role of social appearance anxiety and physical activity.Methods:We recruited 2161 female college students from nine universities in China via convenience sampling.Data was collected via an online questionnaire.Eating behavior was assessed via the Eating Behavior Scale short form(EBS-SF),depression was measured via the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale(CES-D),social appearance anxiety was evaluated via the Social Appearance Anxiety Scale,and physical activity was assessed via a single-item question.Descriptive statistics were analyzed via SPSS 26.0,and moderated mediation analysis was conducted via PROCESS version 3.5.Results:Unhealthy eating behavior was significantly associated with higher levels of depression(β=0.285,p<0.001).Social appearance anxiety mediated this relationship,accounting for 46%of the total effect(β=0.132,95%CI=[0.108,0.158]).The interaction effect between eating behavior and physical activity was significantly and negatively correlated with depression(β=−0.052,p<0.01).The association between eating behavior and depression was stronger under conditions of low physical activity(β=0.210,p<0.001)than under conditions of high physical activity(β=0.105,p<0.001).Conclusions:Integrating nutritional guidance,body image acceptance training,and exercise promotion into campus mental health programs is crucial for addressing depression in female college students.Future research should use longitudinal designs and broader participant ranges to increase the general applicability of the findings.
文摘1.Introduction The field of exercise science is experiencing a renaissance,with recent research illuminating the molecular,cellular,and systemic effects of physical activity.This is largely due to the now unequivocal evidence that a lack of physical activity,not only has direct effects on the prevalence of non-contagious diseases(NCDs)but has profound additive effects of other risk factors for NCD such as obesity and hypertension.1 The articles in this special topic of Journal of Sport and Health Science(JSHS)are dedicated to research on Exercise biochemistry&metabolism.
文摘Background:The topic of this review is the study of the gut microbiota(GM),and the use of probiotics,especially in humans,as a new frontier in the field of prevention and health in general.The beneficial effects and functions performed by probiotics in the GM are increasingly at the centre of both scientific,medical,and pharmaceutical interest.It is now known that diet and probiotics can modify the GM,although in these situations there is a need for greater and more in-depth research regarding the methods and timing of treatment.However,the relationship between physical activity,GM,and probiotics is still largely unclear,as regards certain mechanisms between physical exercise and probiotics in humans.Discussion:In this study,we tried to demonstrate whether and how physical exercise was able to alter the composition of the microbiota and how probiotics can facilitate it.Therefore,alteration of the microbiota was considered in terms of both diversity and composition.Conclusions:The ones examined propose vastly different physical exercises,both in terms of timing and type of intervention itself,and the use of probiotics.

文摘Objective:To analyze the impact of maternal-infant separation on the physical and mental state of high-risk pregnancy patients and explore the clinical efficacy of targeted nursing interventions.Methods:A total of 80 high-risk pregnancy patients treated in our hospital from January 2023 to January 2024 were selected as the study subjects.These patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group(40 cases each)using a random number table.The control group received routine high-risk pregnancy nursing care,while the observation group received specialized maternal-infant separation nursing interventions in addition to routine care.The psychological and physiological states and nursing satisfaction of the two groups were compared before and after the intervention.Results:The SAS scores,SDS scores,and sleep quality scores of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group,with statistically significant differences(p<0.05).The incidence of postpartum hemorrhage in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group,and the initiation time of lactation was significantly earlier than that in the control group,with both differences being statistically significant(p<0.05).The nursing satisfaction of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(80%vs.32/40),with a statistically significant difference(p<0.05).Conclusion:Maternal-infant separation exacerbates anxiety and depression in high-risk pregnancy patients,reduces sleep quality,increases the risk of postpartum hemorrhage,and delays the initiation of lactation.Specialized nursing interventions for maternal-infant separation can improve the physical and mental state of high-risk pregnancy patients,reduce the incidence of postpartum complications,and enhance nursing satisfaction,making them worthy of clinical application and promotion.

文摘In ultrasonic non-destructive testing of high-temperature industrial equipment,sound velocity drift induced by non-uniform temperature fields can severely compromise defect localization accuracy.Conventional approaches that rely on room-temperature sound velocities introduce systematic errors,potentially leading to misjudgment of safety-critical components.Two primary challenges hinder current methods:first,it is difficult to monitor real-time changes in sound velocity distribution within a thermal gradient;second,traditional uniform-temperature correction models fail to capture the nonlinear dependence of material properties on temperature and their effect on ultrasonic velocity fields.Here,we propose a defect localization correction method based on multiphysics coupling.A two-dimensional coupled heat transfer–wave propagation model is established in COMSOL,and a one-dimensional steady-state heat transfer condition is used to design a numerical pulse–echo experiment in 1020 steel.Temperature-dependent material properties are incorporated,and the intrinsic relationship between sound velocity and temperature is derived,confirming consistency with classical theories.To account for gradient temperature fields,a micro-element integration algorithm discretizes the propagation path into segments,each associated with a locally computed temperature from the steady-state heat conduction solution.Defect positions are dynamically corrected through cumulative displacement along the propagation path.By integrating heat conduction and elastic wave propagation in a multiphysics framework,this method overcomes the limitations of uniform-temperature assumptions.The micro-element integration approach enables dynamic tracking of spatially varying sound velocities,offering a robust strategy to enhance ultrasonic testing accuracy in high-temperature industrial environments.

文摘White matter injury is a key factor impacting stroke recovery.Physical exercise can promote white matter repair.Immune cells,especially regulatory T(Treg)cells,contribute to strengthening white matter integrity,yet little is known about the underlying mechanism.To examine this,we established a transient middle cerebral artery occlusion male mouse model.We found that physical exercise elevated brain Treg cells,thereby enhancing neurological recovery,reducing neuroinflammation,promoting myelin debris clearance,and accelerating white matter repair.Depletion of Treg cells caused a decrease in these positive effects of physical exercise.Mechanistically,the rise in osteopontin triggered by physical exercise is dampened when Treg cells are depleted.In addition,Treg-conditioned medium reduced oxygen-glucose deprivation/re-oxygenation-induced microglial inflammation and enhanced phagocytosis,which could be blocked by osteopontin antibodies.Importantly,although Treg infusion could mimic the protective effects of physical exercise,osteopontin blockade partially countered the effects of physical exercise and Treg cells.Finally,our sequencing data revealed a marked upregulation of C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12(CXCL12)mRNA expression subsequent to physical exercise,which was confirmed at the protein level.Stimulation of Treg cells with stroke brain lysates increased C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4(CXCR4)expression,indicating a potential role for the CXCL12-CXCR4 axis in recruiting Treg cells.These findings suggest that physical exercise promotes white matter repair after ischemic stroke by Treg cells.
