ABSTRACT Introduction: Physical confrontation in soccer games presents greater demands on athletes' physical fitness. A soccer player's speed, strength, flexibility, coordination, endurance, and explosiveness can affect the body's fighting capacity. Objective: This study analyzes the relationship between strength training in soccer players' abdominal core and physical fitness. Methods: The effect of abdominal core stability strength training on performance improvement in volunteer soccer players selected as research subjects was verified by random division into two groups (experimental and control groups). Both groups performed daily training. The experimental group added special abdominal core training. Mathematical-statistical algorithms were used to statistically analyze the physical indicators of the two groups of volunteers. Results: The indices of physical fitness and body explosiveness of the two groups of athletes were significantly improved (P<0.05). After systematic training, the competition performance of the experimental group and the physiological and biochemical indicators were better than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: After abdominal core training, soccer players' physical fitness and explosive power indexes were improved. Research shows that strength training can help improve abdominal core performance in soccer players. It is recommended that coaches implement abdominal core strength training in the daily training of athletes. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

Age-related differences in clinical characteristics of Kawasaki disease

This study aimed to examine and summarize clinical characteristics of Kawasaki disease (KD) at different ages to further strengthen clinicians understanding of children with KD, improving the level of diagnosis, and reducing coronary artery complications of KD. A total of 398 patients with KD who were diagnosed between January 2016 and December 2017 were reviewed retrospectively. These participants were allocated into three groups according to age: group A (<1 year, n=62), group B (≥1 and <5 years, n=286), and group C (≥5 years, n=50). Clinical manifestations, laboratory results, and echocardiographic findings were compared among the groups. Most (71.86%) patients with KD were aged 1-5 years. The prevalence of cervical lymphadenopathy was lowest in group A. The duration of fever before admission was longest in group A. The rate of cervical lymphadenopathy and laboratory data were different among the groups. Group A had higher frequencies of gastrointestinal involvement, neurological symptoms, and redness at the Bacillus Calmette-Guerin inoculation site than the other groups. Infants aged <1 year with KD often have a longer duration of fever before admission, a lower prevalence of cervical lymphadenopathy, and a higher prevalence of gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms.

Impact of CHA2DS2 VASc score on substrate for persistent atrial fibrillation and outcome post catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation / 中华心血管病杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore if CHA2DS2 VASc score can predict substrate for persistent atrial fibrillation ( AF) and outcome post catheter ablation of AF.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From January 2011 to December 2012,116 patients underwent catheter ablation of persistent AF in our department and were enrolled in this study. CHA2DS2VASc score was calculated as follows: two points were assigned for a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack and age ≥ 75 and 1 point each was assigned for age ≥ 65, a history of hypertension, diabetes,recent cardiac failure, vessel disease, female. Left atrial geometry ( LA) was reconstructed with a 3.5 mm tip ablation catheter with fill-in threshold 10 in CARTO system. The mapping catheter was stabled at each endocardial location for at least 3 seconds for recording. The electrogram recordings at each endocardial location were analyzed with a custom software embedded in the CARTO mapping system. Interval confidence level (ICL) was used to characterize complex fractionated atrial electrograms (CFAEs) . As the default setting of the software, ICL more than or equal to 7 was considered sites with a highly repetitive CFAEs complex. CFAEs index was defined as the fraction of area of ICL more than or equal to 7 to the left atrial surface. The CFAEs index and outcome of catheter ablation among different CHA2DS2VASc groups were compared.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Of the 116 patients, CHA2DS2VASc was 0 in 33 patients, 1 in 31 patients and ≥ 2 in 52 patients. Left atrial surface ((121.2 ± 18.9) cm2, (133.6 ± 23.8) cm2, (133.9 ± 16.1) cm2, P = 0.008), left atrial volume ((103.6 ± 24.8) ml, (118.3 ± 27.8) ml, (120.9 ± 20.9) ml, P = 0.005) and CFAEs index (44.6% ± 22.4%, 54.2% ± 22.2%, 58.7% ± 23.1%, P = 0.023) increased in proportion with increasing CHA2DS2VASc. ICLmax, ICLmin and CFAEs spatial distribution were similar among the three groups. During the mean follow-up of (13 ± 8) months, the recurrence rate were 36.4%, 35.5%, 55.8% among the three groups (P = 0.025).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>A high CHA2DS2VASc score is associated with extensive AF substrate and higher recurrence rate post catheter ablation of persistent AF.</p>
