    Abstract Background: Neurodegenerative diseases have become an important concern with the accelerated aging process. Tai Chi Quan (TCQ) has positive benefits for brain health and chronic diseases. The aim of this study was to summarize the protective effects of TCQ for motor function, cognition, quality of life, and mood in patients with neurodegenerative diseases.
    Methods: A systematic search was conducted via PubMed database and the Web of Science core collection database until August 20, 2021. The available English systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and clinical trials were included. Two reviewers completed the screening and assessment process independently.
    Results: A total of 28 studies on Parkinson's disease, 21 on cognitive impairment, and 9 on multiple sclerosis met the included criteria. The study found that TCQ remarkably improved general motor function and balance, and prevented falls for Parkinson's disease. TCQ significantly improved global cognitive function for cognitive impairment. TCQ was likely safe and beneficial for multiple sclerosis as result of heterogeneous outcomes and small samples.
    Conclusion: TCQ exercise can effectively improve the motor function, global cognitive function, and falls in patients with neurodegenerative diseases. However, the positive effects of TCQ on the quality of life and mood of patients with neurodegenerative diseases need further evidence.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Suo-Quan-Wan (SQW), a traditional Chinese prescription, has been used for hundreds of years to alleviate overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms such as frequent and nocturnal urination. However, limited modern research on OAB therapeutic targets has hindered the use and development of SQW.
    Aim of the study: This study aimed to investigate the biological mechanisms and key targets of SQW on OAB in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) using an integrated analysis of network pharmacology, transcriptome and metabolome.
    Methods: Rats were divided into five groups: model group (SHR), control group (WKY), darifenacin group, high dose (SQWH) and low dose (SQWL) group. Urodynamic parameters and histological examination were detected. Network pharmacology, transcriptome, and metabolome were used to screen for disease gene targets, differential mRNA, and differential metabolites, respectively. The biological targets and mechanisms of SQW for OAB were analyzed. Western blotting was performed to verify the proteins of key differential targets.
    Results: Urodynamics revealed a significant decrease in storage parameters in SHR. After SQW treatment, the inter-contraction interval, voided volume and bladder capacity increased by 2-3 times, as well as bladder compliance. Additionally, SQW improved the pathological changes in the urinary tract epithelium and the detrusor layer of the bladder in SHR. Metabolomic results showed an increase in arachidonic acid (AA) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in plasma, suggesting the involvement of arachidonic acid metabolism and purine metabolism in SQW treatment. The downregulation of cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1), thromboxane-A synthase (TBXAS1), polyunsaturated fatty acid 5-lipoxygenase (ALOX5), and cAMP-specific 3',5'-cyclic phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B) were confirmed through topological analysis and Venn analysis of omics data and network pharmacology. These proteins affected the metabolism of AA and cAMP, respectively, and consequently affected downstream proteins, such as transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channel proteins (e.g. TRPV1, TRPA1, and TRPM8), myosin light chain kinase (MLCK), and the phosphorylation of myosin regulatory light chain (p-MLC).
    Conclusion: This study initially elucidated the importance of AA and cAMP in the treatment of SQW, indicating the AA-CYP1B1/TBXAS1/ALOX5-TRPA1/TRPV1/TRPM8 and cAMP-PDE4B-MLCK-p-MLC pathways as the important pathways in SQW-treated SHR bladder in vivo.

    Abstract Background: Ancient prescriptions of Suo Quan Wan (SQW) have therapeutic effects on diabetic bladder dysfunction. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we hypothesized that SQW ameliorates bladder overactivity and regulates neurotransmission via regulating Myosin Va protein expression.
    Methods: After diabetic rats were induced by streptozotocin (65 mg/kg), the model of diabetic bladder dysfunction was established by detecting fasting blood glucose, urodynamic test, in vitro muscle strip experiments, and histological examination. One week after induction, SQW was given to observe the therapeutic effect. The expression levels of Myosin Va in control, Model, SQW L and SQW H groups were detected by RT-qPCR, RNAscope and immunofluorescence assay. The expression levels of ChAT, SP, nNOS and VIP proteins were observed by immunofluorescence assay. After knockdown and overexpression of Myosin Va, the expression changes of ChAT, SP, nNOS and VIP and the regulatory role of SQW were observed.
    Results: STZ-induced DM rats had significantly higher serum glucose levels and lower body weight. Compared with the diabetic rats, SQW treatment significantly improved urination function with decreased residual volume (RV), bladder compliance (BC), non-voiding contractions (NVCs), and increased voided efficiency (VE). In addition, contractile responses of muscle strips to electrical-field stimulation (EFS), carbachol (CCh), KCl were significantly lower in the SQW H and SQW L groups than those in the model group. RT-qPCR found that the expression of Myosin Va in the bladder tissue or bladder neurons in model group was significantly increased compared with the control group, and SQW treatment significantly decreased the levels of Myosin Va. In DM rats, ChAT and SP expression were significantly increased, while nNOS and VIP expression were significantly decreased, and SQW improved this phenomenon. Interestingly, SQW ameliorated the abnormal expression of ChAT, SP, nNOS and VIP caused by myosin Va knockdown, and Myosin Va overexpression results are consistent with these.
    Conclusions: SQW ameliorates overactive bladder and regulate neurotransmission via regulating Myosin Va mRNA and protein expression.

    Abstract Objective: To observe the effect of Tai Ji Quan (TJQ) training on strength and function of lower limbs in the aged.
    Methods: Sixty senile subjects were recruited and assigned to the TJQ group and the control group (imparting health knowledge)by random digit table. Patients in the TJQ group received 24-style TJQ training for 18 months (60 min each time, 5 times per week), while those in the control group were imparted with sarcopenia related causes, pathogeneses, prevention and control measures. The maximum isometric strength of bilateral iliopsoas, quadriceps femoris, tibialis anterior muscle, hamstrings; the time for 5 sitting-up tests and Time Up and Go Test (TUGT), one-leg standing time with closed eyes test; and the score of Berg balance scale were compared between the two groups.
    Results: Compared with before treatment, muscle strength increased in the TJQ group with an average increased capacity (rate) as follows, bilateral iliopsoas 5.5 kg (16.9%), quadriceps femoris 5.5 kg (26.2%), and tibialis anterior muscle 8.5 kg (36.2%) (all P < 0.05). The time for TUGT and 5 sitting-up tests was shortened by 1.3 s (16.7%) and 0.9 s (14.5%) respectively in the TJQ group. The time for one-leg standing time with closed eyes test was increased by 8.4 s (left) and 9.1 s (right) respectively. The score of Berg balance scale increased by 4.3% (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, bilateral quadriceps femoris and tibialis anterior muscle strength increased significantly (P < 0.01); the time for TUGT and 5 sitting-up tests, the time for one-leg standing time with closed eyes test, scores of Berg balance scale were all improved in the TJQ group after intervention (P < 0.05).
    Conclusion: TJQ training could improve strength of iliopsoas, quadriceps femoris, tibialis anterior muscle in the aged, elevate their balance and locomotor activities, and possibly prevent and treat sarcopenia.
