RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Plastic bronchitis (PB) is a clinical-pathological syndrome characterized by the abnormal accumulation of endogenous substances in the bronchial airways, causing partial or complete obstruction and resulting in impaired lung ventilation. METHODS: In this retrospective analysis, we aim to summarize the clinical manifestations, imaging characteristics, diagnostic methods, and treatment approaches to enhance clinicians' ability to detect children who are infected with human bocavirus 1 (hBoV 1) and develop PB. RESULTS: In the period from January 2021 to January 2024, a total of six hBoV 1 infection children were diagnosed with PB through bronchoscopy. The onset of the condition was mainly concentrated between June and December. The detection methods used included metagenomic next-generation sequencing for pathogen identification (three cases) and respiratory pathogen nucleic acid 13-plex detection (oropharyngeal swab) (three cases), both of which confirmed the presence of hBoV 1. Out of the six children with PB, two were girls and four were boys. Their ages ranged from 10 months to 4 years old. Common symptoms reported by all patients included fever, cough, and wheezing. Chest high-resolution computed tomography scans revealed atelectasis in six cases, in addition to pneumonia. After the removal of the plastic bronchi via bronchoscopy, the airway obstruction symptoms in the children were relieved, and no recurrence was observed during the follow-up period. Pathological findings indicated cellulose exudation and inflammatory cell infiltration, consistent with nonlymphatic PB. CONCLUSION: When children infected with hBoV 1 exhibit persistent or worsening symptoms such as cough, fever, and wheezing despite treatment, clinicians should remain highly vigilant for the potential occurrence of PB. Bronchoscopy plays a crucial role not only in diagnosing the presence of a plastic bronchus but also in effectively treating PB.

RESUMO

Investigating eco-hydrology in desert grasslands is pivotal to comprehend the dynamic evolution patterns of vegetation. Nonetheless, a research void persists in understanding the eco-hydrological mutual feedback mechanisms associated with hydrological connectivity and the corresponding health index evaluation of a small watershed. This study is centered on the Shangdong River watershed in Inner Mongolia and uses SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) to simulate hydrological processes. The hydrological connectivity index (IC) was employed as a link to conduct Pearson correlation analysis and Granger causality tests on ecological and meteorological-hydrological factors. Additionally, the PSR model was utilized to assess the ecological health status of the watershed. Key findings reveal the following: (1) The NDVI in the Shangdong River watershed showed an overall upward trend from 2007 to 2018, while IC exhibited an overall downward trend. Temporally and spatially, there was a significant negative correlation between IC and NDVI. (2) During the vegetation growth season, IC serves as a pivotal link in the feedback loop of eco-hydrological processes. Temperature drives vegetation growth, which in turn affects IC. IC regulates soil moisture content and evaporation, further influencing vegetation growth, thus forming a feedback mechanism. (3) Over the study period, the Grassland Health Composite Index (GHI) demonstrated a consistent rise, averaging 0.44, signaling a suboptimal state for the grassland ecosystem. Furthermore, a negative correlation was observed between GHI and IC. Consequently, regulating IC could play a crucial role in safeguarding and rejuvenating the grassland ecosystem. This study offers theoretical and data support for understanding eco-hydrological processes and effective pasture management of the desert grassland watershed.

RESUMO

The exploration of bifunctional catalyst with economic, durable, and efficient performance plays a crucial role to boost both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in overall water splitting. Herein, we report a feasible strategy to design effective heterostructure between CoP and Ti3C2Tx MXene (denoted as CoP/Ti3C2Tx). This approach allows for the growth of CoP nanoparticles with uniform size of 5 nm on the Ti3C2Tx MXene, further enhancing the water electrolysis efficiency. The CoP/Ti3C2Tx bifunctional catalyst demonstrates an exceptional HER activity with a satisfactory overpotential of 103 mV at 10 mA cm-2, and also can drive 10 mA cm-2 for OER with the overpotential of 312 mV in 1.0 M KOH. Moreover, the CoP/Ti3C2Tx-based electrolyzer exhibits high electrochemical stability for 24 h with a low required voltage of 1.66 V at 10 mA cm-2. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the introduction of Ti3C2Tx MXene significantly adjusts d-band center towards Fermi level and expand total density of states, resulting in great electrical conductivity, enhanced water adsorption, and activation. This study provides an available mode for effective design and construction of non-noble-metal-based dual-functional catalyst toward practical energy conversion.

RESUMO

A green approach of Desmodesmus sp. to Achromobacter pulmonis (1:1) coculture ratios was optimized to improve the removal efficiency of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) from simulated wastewater. High DBP resistance bacterial strains and microalgae was optimized from plastic contaminated water and acclimation process respectively. The influence of various factors on DBP removal performance was comprehensively investigated. Highest DBP removal 93 % was recorded, when the ratios algae-bacteria 1:1, with sodium acetate, pH-6, shaking speed-120 rpm and lighting periods L:D-12:12. Enough nutrient (TN/TP/TOC) availability and higher protein-108 mg/L and sugar-40 mg/L were observed in presences of 50 mg/L DBP. The degradation and sorption were calculated 81,12; 27,39 & 43,12 % in algae-bacteria, only algae and only bacteria system respectively. The degradation kinetics t1/2 3.74,22.15,12.86 days were evaluated, confirming that algae-bacteria effectively degrade the DBP. This outcome leading to promote a green sustainable approach to remove the emerging contamination from wastewater.

RESUMO

Amorphous materials disrupt the intrinsic linear scalar dependence seen in their crystalline counterparts, typically exhibiting enhanced catalytic characteristics. Nevertheless, substantial obstacles remain in terms of boosting their stability, enhancing their conductivity, and elucidating distinct catalytic mechanisms. Herein, a core-shell catalyst, comprising a crystalline SnO2 core and an amorphous SnOx shell supported on MXene (denoted as SnO2@SnOx/MXene), was prepared utilizing hydrothermal and solution reduction methods. The SnO2@SnOx/MXene catalyst excels in the electrocatalytic conversion of CO2 to formate, yielding a Faradaic efficiency (FE) as high as 93% for formate production at -1.17 V vs RHE and demonstrating exceptional durability. Both density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experimental results indicate that the SnOx shell bolsters formate formation by fine-tuning the adsorption energy of the *OCHO intermediate. In SnO2@SnOx/MXene, MXene plays a vital role in enhancing the conductivity and stability of the amorphous shell and especially amplifying Raman signals of catalyst components. The ex/in situ surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) application further confirms the formation of amorphous SnOx and further enables the direct detection of the formation of the intermediate species. This work provides the basis for the application of amorphous materials in practical electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 reduction.

RESUMO

A sandwich "signal-off" type photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor was fabricated based on a composite heterojunction of tungsten oxide/titanium oxide microspheres (WO3/TiO2) acting as signal amplification platform and carbon microspheres loaded by gold nanoparticles (Cs@Au NPs) utilized as the label for detecting antibody. WO3/TiO2 had excellent photoelectric performance, and the results of Mott-Schottky plots, open-circuit voltage, and electron spin resonance spectroscopy indicated that it belonged to the Z-scheme heterojunction transfer mechanism of photogenerated carriers. To achieve the sensitization of PEC immunosensor, Cs@Au NP-labeled immunocomplex can effectively reduce the photocurrent signal. The PEC immunosensors were fabricated under the optimal conditions of 1:1 WO3/TiO2 (molar ratio), 2.0 mg mL-1 WO3/TiO2, and 1.5 mg mL-1 Cs@Au NPs. Through comparison of the detection results of label-free and sandwich-type PEC immunosensors for nucleocapsid (N) protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), we found that the sensitivity of the sandwich type was 2.53 times the label-free type, and the limit of detection was 0.006 ng mL-1, i.e., 3.17 times lower than the label-free type. This demonstrates that the developed sandwich-type PEC immunosensor will have a brighter application prospect.

RESUMO

Hybridizing Pd-based electrocatalysts with Ni-based species has been recognized as an effective pathway to enhance the catalytic performance for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). However, doping Ni-based species with heterogeneous valences into Pd nanocrystals still remains challenging, although heterogeneous valence Ni species may result in improved properties of Pd from different aspects. Herein, a facile one-pot synthetic method is reported to simultaneously introduce alloyed Ni0 into Pd lattices and couple hydroxy Ni2+ species with a Pd surface, generating 1D porous PdNi alloy nanochains@Ni(OH)2 nanosheet hybrids (PdNi NCs@Ni(OH)2 NSs). Borane-tert-butylamine (C4H14BN) plays the key role in realizing the formation of Ni-based species with heterogeneous valence. On one hand, it works as a reducing agent to facilitate the doping of alloyed Ni0 into the lattice of Pd nanochains. On the other hand, it raises the solution pH value and converts the remaining [Ni(CN)4]2- into Ni(OH)2 nanosheets. Each component of the PdNi NCs@Ni(OH)2 NSs plays an important role: Pd serves as the active site, alloyed Ni0 modifies the electronic structure of Pd, and Ni(OH)2 provides abundant OHads species to strengthen the anti-poisoning capability, thus greatly enhancing the activity, CO-tolerance, and durability for the MOR.

RESUMO

All-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) with enhanced safety are considered one of the most promising substitutes for liquid electrolyte-based Li-ion batteries. However, many properties of solid electrolytes, such as ionic conductivity, film formability, and electrochemical, mechanical, thermal, and interfacial stability need to be improved for their practical application. In this study, a vertically aligned Li6.4La3.0Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 (LLZO) membrane with finger-like microvoids was prepared using processes involving phase inversion and sintering. A hybrid electrolyte was then obtained by infusing the LLZO membrane with a solid polymer electrolyte based on poly(ε-caprolactone). The solid hybrid electrolyte (SHE) was a flexible thin film with high ionic conductivity, superior electrochemical stability, high Li+ transference number, enhanced thermal stability, and improved Li metal electrode-solid electrolyte interfacial stability. A solid-state Li/LiNi0.78Co0.10Mn0.12O2 cell assembled with the hybrid electrolyte exhibited good cycling performance, in terms of discharge capacity, cycling stability, and rate capability. Accordingly, the SHE using a vertically aligned LLZO membrane is a promising solid electrolyte for realizing safe, high-performance ASSLBs.

RESUMO

Carbamate pesticides are extensively used in agriculture for their inhibition to acetylcholinesterase and damages to the insects' neural systems. Because of their toxicity, human poisoning incidents caused by carbamate pesticide exposure have occurred from time to time. What's more, some lethally toxic carbamate toxicants known as carbamate nerve agents (CMNAs) have been supplemented in Schedule 1 of the Annex on Chemicals in the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) by Organisation of the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) from 2020. And some other carbamates, like physostigmine, have been used in clinical treatment as anticholinergic drugs and their misuse may also cause damages to the body. Similar to organophosphorus toxicants, carbamate toxicants would react with butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) in plasma when entering the human body, resulting in the BChE adducts, based on which the exposure of carbamate toxicants could be detected retrospectively. In this study, methylcarbamyl nonapeptide and dimethylcarbamyl nonapeptide from pepsin digestion of BChE adducts were identified with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) in product ion scan mode. Carbofuran was chosen as the target to establish the detection method of carbamate toxicant exposure based on methylcarbamyl nonapeptide digested from methylcarbamyl BChE. Procainamide-gel affinity purification, pepsin digestion and UHPLC-MS/MS analysis in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode were applied. Under the optimized conditions of sample preparation and UHPLC-MS/MS MRM analysis, the limits of detection (LODs) reached 10.0 ng/mL of plasma exposed to carbofuran with satisfactory specificity. The quantitation approach was established with d3-carbofuran-exposed plasma as the internal standard (IS) and the linearity range was 30.0-1.00 × 103 nmol/L (R2 >0.998) with the accuracy of 95.6%-107% and precision of ≤9% relative standard deviation (RSD). The applicability was also evaluated by N,N-dimethyl-carbamates with the LODs of 30.0 nmol/L for pirimicarb-exposed plasma based on dimethylcarbamyl nonapeptide. Because most of carbamate toxicants has methylcarbamyl or dimethylcarbamyl groups, this approach could be applied on the retrospective screening of carbamate toxicant exposure including CMNAs, carbamate pesticides or carbamate drugs. This study could provide an effective means in the fields of CWC verification, toxicological mechanism investigation and down-selection of potential treatment options.

RESUMO

In this work, Fe-decorated nitrogen-doped carbon nanospheres are prepared for electrochemical monitoring of acetaminophen. Via a direct pyrolysis of the melamine-formaldehyde resin spheres, the well-distributed Fe-NC spheres were obtained. The as-prepared Fe-NC possesses enhanced catalysis towards the redox of acetaminophen for abundant active sites and high-speed charge transfer. The effect of loading Fe species on the electrochemical sensing of acetaminophen is investigated in detail. The synergistic effect of nitrogen doping along with the above-mentioned properties is taken advantage of in the fabrication of electrochemical sensors for the acetaminophen determination. Based on the calibration plot, the limits of detection (LOD) were calculated to be 0.026 µM with a linear range from 0-100 µM. Additionally satisfactory repeatability, stability, and selectivity are obtained.

RESUMO

The direct electrooxidation reaction of ammonia borane (ABOR) as the anodic reaction of direct ammonia borane fuel cells (DABFCs) is greatly dependent on the properties of electrocatalysts. Both the active sites and charge/mass transfer characteristics are the key to promoting the processes of kinetics and thermodynamics, which can further improve the electrocatalytic activity. Hence, the catalyst double-heterostructured Ni2 P/Ni2 P2 O7 /Ni12 P5 (d-NPO/NP) with the optimistic redistribution of electrons and active sites is prepared for the first time. The d-NPO/NP-750 catalyst obtained after pyrolysis at 750 °C shows the outstanding electrocatalytic activity toward ABOR with an onset potential of -0.329 V vs RHE which is better than all the published catalysts. The density functional theory (DFT) computations illustrate that the Ni2 P2 O7 /Ni2 P acts as the activity enhancement heterostructure with a high d-band center (-1.60 eV) and the low activation energy barrier, while the Ni2 P2 O7 /Ni12 P5 acts as the conductivity enhancement heterostructure with the highest density of valence electrons.

RESUMO

L-cysteine (L-Cys) capped ZnS fluorescent probe (L-ZnS) were synthesized by binding ZnS nanoparticles in situ with L-Cys, the fluorescence intensity of L-ZnS increased more than 3.5 times than that of ZnS due to the cleavage of S-H bonds and the formation of Zn-S bonds between the thiol group of L-Cys and ZnS. The addition of copper ions (Cu2+) can effectively quench the fluorescence of L-ZnS to realize the rapid detection of trace Cu2+. The L-ZnS showed high sensitivity and selectivity to Cu2+. The LOD (limit of detection) of Cu2+ was as low as 7.28 nM and linearity in the concentration range of 3.5-25.5 µM. Meanwhile, for the first time, electron localization function (ELF), bond order density (BOD), and natural adaptive orbital (NAdO) analysis in the Multiwfn wavefunction program based on density functional theory were carried out to probe the binding sites and binding mode of L-Cys with Cu2+, it indicated that the deprotonated carboxyl oxygen atoms of L-Cys had the lowest electrostatic potential (ESP) and provided lone pair electrons to coordinate with Cu2+ to form non-luminescent ground state complexes, which led to fluorescence quenching of L-ZnS. From the microscopic point of view of atoms, the mechanism of fluorescence enhancement of L-Cys capped ZnS and the mechanism of fluorescence quenching after adding Cu2+ were revealed in depth, the theoretical analysis results were accordance with the experiments.

RESUMO

Background: Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) is now the only treatment that can modify the natural course of allergic rhinitis (AR). However, not all children with AR benefit from SCIT. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of SCIT in dust-mites-induced AR children and explore correlative factors predicting treatment response to SCIT. Methods: 225 children aged 4–17 years old with AR were recruited from January 2016 to September 2019, and monitored at baseline, 4, 12, and 24 months after the start of SCIT treatment. The visual-analogue-score (VAS) was used to assess the clinical symptoms. Multivariate binary logistic regression analyses and receiver operating characteristic curves were used to explore correlative factors in predicting the efficacy of SCIT. Results: The significant declines in VAS started after 4 months of SCIT and continued to improve throughout the study compared with baseline. An increase in children’s age (OR=0.688, 95%CI: 0.479–0.988) and those with allergic history (OR=0.097, 95%CI: 0.009–1.095) were negatively associated with the risk of poor efficacy. Polysensitized children were more likely to suffer poor efficacy (OR=15.511 95%CI: 1.319–182.355). The clinical response at month 4 (r=0.707) and month 12 (r=0.925) was related to that at month 24. The area under the curve (AUC) for improvement at month 4 and month 12 was 0.746 and 0.860, respectively. Conclusion: Our study confirmed the clinical efficacy of SCIT in AR children. Children with younger age, negative allergic history, and multiple allergens may predict a worse efficacy. The onset of action and the clinical response to SCIT in the second year can be predicted as early as by month 4 (AU)

RESUMO

The novel CuMnS nanoflower fluorescent probe based on Mn-doped CuS was developed to achieve the fluorescence detection of oxytetracycline hydrochloride (OTC), the fluorescent sensor has good selectivity and stability. The doping of Mn significantly increased the fluorescence intensity of CuS, which was above 10 times that of CuS. When the predominant species of OTC molecule was zwitterionic OTC+/-at the solution pH of about 5.00, the fluorescence quenching efficiency of CuMnS by OTC reached the highest. Through fluorescence lifetime and UV absorption, the sensing mechanism between CuMnS and OTC was found to be static quenching. Moreover, Multiwfn wavefunction analysis program based on density function theory (DFT) calculation was applied to compare the interactions between different OTC species and CuMnS at different pH, to reveal the micromechanism of fluorescence quenching of CuMnS by OTC from the views of atoms. The molecular surface quantitative analysis and basin analysis of different OTC species demonstrated that the N atom and O atoms of tricarbonylamide moiety of zwitterionic OTC+/- can provide lone pair electrons to form a non-fluorescent ground state complex with CuMnS. Meanwhile, the electrostatic attraction of OTC+/- with negatively charged CuMnS was also beneficial to the interaction, resulting in the effective fluorescence quenching of CuMnS. This work offers a convenient method for sensitively detecting OTC and broadens the application of CuMnS in the field of fluorescence detection.

RESUMO

Exploration of catalysts for water splitting is critical for advancing the development of energy conversion field, but designing bifunctional catalysts remains a major challenge. Herein, we demonstrate the N-doped carbon nanotube (NCNT)-grafted N-doped carbon (NC) framework embedding CoP nanoparticles (CoP@NC/NCNT) as hydrogen and oxygen evolution reaction (HER and OER) catalysts for water splitting. As a result, the CoP@NC/NCNT electrode requires the overpotentials of 106 and 177 mV at 10 mA cm-2 in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 1.0 M KOH solutions for HER, respectively. Moreover, an overpotential of 324 mV for OER can drive 10 mA cm-2 in 1.0 KOH. The CoP@NC/NCNT-based electrolyzer derives a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at a low voltage of 1.72 V in 1.0 M KOH and remains stable for 10 h. The outstanding electrocatalytic performance is mainly attributed to the hierarchical structure with rich branches and highly active component of CoP. The intimate contacts between hierarchical porous NC frameworks by cross-linked NCNTs create a 3D conductive network, which facilitates electron or mass transfer and activates CoP. This work offers a novel route for preparing hierarchical carbon framework encapsulated metal phosphide particles for potential applications in energy conversion field.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE To compare characteristic chromatogram and the contents of multiple indicator components of Morus alba decoction powder and decoction at different decoction time, and to provide experimental basis for the development of M. alba decoction. METHODS Taking decoction powder and decoction at different decoction time as subject, HPLC characteristic chromatogram of 2 kinds of samples were established with Similarity Evaluation Software System of TCM Chromatographic Fingerprint (2012 version), and similarity evaluation was performed. The contents of mulberroside A, geniposide, berberine, baicalin, quercetin and luteolin in decoction powder and decoction were determined by HPLC. The contents of each indicator component and the change of total content were as the evaluation indexes to compare the difference between the two substances during decoction. RESULTS The similarities of characteristic chromatogram of the two substances ranged from 0.943 to 1.000 and 0.975 to 0.998 at different decoction time, respectively. Six indicator components of the decoction powder dissolved faster and had higher contents. The contents of each indicator component in the decoction powder when decocting at 20 minutes was 1.1-1.5 times of the decoction when decocting at 50 min, and the total content in the decoction powder was 1.2 times of the decoction. CONCLUSIONS Compared with decoction, M. alba decoction powder has the advantages of shortening the decoction time and saving traditional Chinese medicine resources. The results of this study lay a research foundation for “Zungu” to develop its preparation.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE@#To compare the short-term clinical efficacy and radiologic differences between oblique lateral interbody fusion(OLIF) and minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) for degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis.@*METHODS@#A retrospective analysis was performed on 58 patients with lumbar spondylolisthesis treated with OLIF or MIS-TLIF from April 2019 to October 2020. Among them, 28 patients were treated with OLIF (OLIF group), including 15 males and 13 females aged 47 to 84 years old with an average age of (63.00±9.38) years. The other 30 patients were treated with MIS-TLIF(MIS-TLIF group), including 17 males and 13 females aged 43 to 78 years old with an average age of (61.13±11.10) years. General conditions, including operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage, complications, lying in bed, and hospitalization time were recorded in both groups. Radiological characteristics, including intervertebral disc height (DH), intervertebral foramen height (FH), and lumbar lordosis angle (LLA), were compared between two groups. The visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were used to evaluate the clinical effect.@*RESULTS@#The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage, lying in bed, and hospitalization time in OLIF group were significantly less than those in the MIS-TLIF group (P<0.05). The intervertebral disc height and intervertebral foramen height were significantly improved in both groups after the operation (P<0.05). The lumbar lordosis angle in OLIF group was significantly improved compared to before the operation(P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the MIS-TLIF group before and after operation(P>0.05). Postoperative intervertebral disc height, intervertebral foramen height, and lumbar lordosis were better in the OLIF group than in the MIS-TLIF group (P<0.05). The VAS and ODI of the OLIF group were lower than those of the MIS-TLIF group within 1 week and 1 month after the operation (P<0.05), and there were no significant differences in VAS and ODI at 3 and 6 months after the operation between the two groups(P>0.05). In the OLIF group, 1 case had paresthesia of the left lower extremity with flexion-hip weakness and 1 case had a collapse of the endplate after the operation;in the MIS-TLIF group, 2 cases had radiation pain of lower extremities after decompression.@*CONCLUSION@#Compared with MIS-TLIF, OLIF results in less operative trauma, faster recovery, and better imaging performance after lumbar spine surgery.

RESUMO

Stroke is one of the most common cerebrovascular diseases, including hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke. From a modern medical perspective, stroke is caused by cerebrovascular damage or embolism leading to impaired blood circulation. From the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) perspective, the pathogenesis of this disease is mainly due to the disorder of Qi and blood, which ascend to the brain, causing either blood extravasation or blockage of brain collaterals. Stasis is a pathological factor that runs throughout the entire course of stroke, and the method of promoting blood circulation and resolving stasis has been a core treatment for stroke for a long time. Hirudo, as a traditional insect drug, has shown good effects in promoting blood circulation and resolving stasis. Modern pharmacological research has confirmed that Hirudo contains anticoagulant components, which provide significant advantages in dissolving thrombi in ischemic stroke and facilitating hematoma absorption in hemorrhagic stroke. Hirudo and its related preparations have been proven to exert an anti-stroke effect through anticoagulation, anti-thrombosis, and protection of vascular endothelium. As a result, they have been widely used in the treatment of stroke. This article explored the theoretical basis and research status of using Hirudo for treating stroke based on its main active components and hemostatic properties and summarized the current research status of commonly used Hirudo-based formulations and preparations, aiming to provide references for the involvement of Hirudo in stroke treatment.

RESUMO

Objective: To study the protective effect of parachute ankle brace on ankle joint during simulated parachuting landing. Methods: In August 2021, 30 male paratroopers were selected as the test subjects by simple random sampling method. They jumped from the 1.5 m and 2.0 m height platforms respectively with and without parachute ankle brace, and landed on the sandy ground in a semi-squat parachute landing position. The experiment was divided into 1.5 m experimental group and control group and 2.0 m experimental group and control group. Angle sensor and surface electromyograph were used to measure and analyze the coronal tilt range of the ankle joint and the percentage of maximal voluntary contraction (MVE%) of the muscles around the ankle joint, respectively, to evaluate the protective effect of the parachute ankle brace. Results: At the same height, the tilt range of coronal plane of ankle in experimental group was significantly reduced compared with control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Under the same protection state, the tilt range of the coronal plane of the ankle in the 1.5 m group was significantly reduced compared with that in the 2.0 m group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The coronal plane inclination range of the ankle in 2 m experimental group was significantly lower than that in 1.5 m control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared with 1.5 m control group, MVE% of right tibialis anterior muscle and bilateral lateral gastrocnemius decreased in 1.5 m experimental group, while MVE% of bilateral peroneus longus increased, with statistical significance (P<0.05). Compared with 2.0 m control group, the MVE% of bilateral tibialis anterior muscle and right lateral gastrocnemius decreased in 2.0 m experimental group, while the MVE% of bilateral peroneus longus increased, with statistical significance (P<0.05). The MVE% of bilateral tibialis anterior muscle, bilateral lateral gastrocnemius muscle and right peroneus longus muscle in 1.5 m experimental group decreased compared with 2.0 m experimental group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared with 2.0 m control group, the MVE% of bilateral tibialis anterior muscle, right lateral gastrocnemius muscle and right peroneus longus muscle in 1.5 m control group decreased, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) . Conclusion: Wearing parachute ankle brace can effectively limit the coronal plane inclination range of ankle joint, improve the stability of ankle joint and reduce the load on the muscles around ankle joint by landing. Reducing the height of the jumping platform can reduce the coronal plane incline range of the ankle and the muscle load around the ankle during landing.
