    Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the force characteristics of novice athletes and professional athletes in completing a cross spike at position four from the perspective of electromyographic characteristics.
    Methods: Ten novice and ten professional athletes were selected as subjects. The electromyographic characteristics of the athletes were obtained by the Noraxon Ultium electromyography (EMG) and compared.
    Results: In the first stage, i.e., the takeoff stage, the activation level of the rectus abdominis and external abdominal obliques was significantly higher in the professional group (p<0.05). During the second stage, i.e., the stage of flying to hit the ball, the professional group had a higher integrated electromyography (iEMG) value in the trapezius. Moreover, it showed significantly higher muscle contribution from the rectus abdominis (5.59 ± 1.58%), external abdominal obliques (3.67 ± 1.21%), and trapezius (10.12 ± 2.61%) compared to the novice group (p<0.05). In the third stage, i.e., the stage of landing and buffering, p<0.05 in the comparison of the iEMG values of trapezius and gluteus maximus between the two groups. Moreover, the professional group exhibited higher muscle activation levels in all muscles except for the gastrocnemius, compared to the novice group (p<0.05).
    Conclusions: Professional athletes display superior muscle coordination and more effective muscle force generation in the trunk and lower limbs during the execution of the jump spike action.

    Abstract Background: Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a prevalent emotional disorder that has received relatively little attention regarding its immunological basis. Recent years have seen the widespread use of high-density genetic markers such as SNPs or CNVs for genotyping, as well as the advancement of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) technologies, which have facilitated the understanding of immunological mechanisms underlying several major psychiatric disorders. Despite these advancements, the immunological basis of GAD remains poorly understood. In light of this, we aimed to explore the causal relationship between immune cells and the disease through a Mendelian randomization study.
    Methods: The summary information for GAD (Ncase=4,666, Ncontrol=337,577) was obtained from the FinnGen dataset. Summary statistics for the characterization of 731 immune cells, including morphological parameters (MP=32), median fluorescence intensity (MFI=389), absolute cells (AC=118), and relative cells (RC=192), were derived from the GWAS catalog. The study involved both forward MR analysis, with immune cell traits as the exposure and GAD as the outcome, and reverse MR analysis, with GAD as the exposure and immune cell traits as the outcome. We performed extensive sensitivity analyses to confirm the robustness, heterogeneity, and potential multi-biological effects of the study results. Also, to control for false positive results during multiple hypothesis testing, we adopted a false discovery rate (FDR) to control for statistical bias due to multiple comparisons.
    Results: After FDR correction, GAD had no statistically significant effect on immunophenotypes. Several phenotypes with unadjusted low P-values are worth mentioning, including decreased PB/PC levels on B cells(β=-0.289, 95%CI=0.044~0.194,
    Conclusion: The study has shown the close association between immune cells and GAD through genetic methods, thereby offering direction for future clinical research.

    Abstract The genus Elephantopus L. is a valuable resource rich in sesquiterpenoids with structural diversity and various bioactivities, showing great potential for applications in medicinal field and biological industry. Up to now, over 129 sesquiterpenoids have been isolated and identified from this plant genus, including 114 germacrane-type, 7 guaianolide-type, 5 eudesmane-type, 1 elemanolide-type, and 2 bis-sesquiterpenoids. These sesquiterpenoids were reported to show a diverse range of pharmacological properties, including cytotoxic, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antiprotozoal. Consequently, some of them were identified as active scaffolds in the design and development of drugs. Considering that there is currently no overview available that covers the sesquiterpenoids and their biological activities in the Elephantopus genus, this article aims to comprehensively review the chemical structures, biosynthetic pathways, pharmacological properties, and structure-activity relationship of sesquiterpenoids found in the Elephantopus genus, which will establish a theoretical framework that can guide further research and exploration of sesquiterpenoids from Elephantopus plants as promising therapeutic agents.

    Abstract Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) presents significant challenges in clinical management because of the high morbidity and mortality, necessitating novel therapeutic approaches. This study aimed to assess the neuroprotective effects of loganin in a rat ICH model. Sprague-Dawley rats were used, subjected to a collagenase-induced ICH model, followed by loganin treatment at doses of 2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg. Neurological functions were evaluated using the modified neurological severity score (mNSS) and a rotarod test. Results indicated a significant improvement in neurological functions in loganin-treated groups, evident from the mNSS and rotarod tests, suggesting dose-dependent neuroprotection. Loganin also effectively reduced the blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability and cerebral oedema. Additionally, it mitigated cellular pyroptosis, as shown by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labelling staining and western blot analysis, which indicated reduced levels of pyroptosis markers in treated rats. Furthermore, loganin's regulatory effects on the adenosine A2A receptor and myosin light chain kinase pathways were observed, potentially underpinning its protective mechanism against ICH. The study concludes that loganin exhibits significant neuroprotective properties in a rat ICH model, highlighting its potential as a novel therapeutic strategy. Despite promising results, the study needs further research to determine loganin's therapeutic potential in human ICH patients. This research paves the way for further exploration into loganin's clinical applications, potentially revolutionizing treatment strategies for patients suffering from intracerebral haemorrhage.

    Abstract Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is recognized as one of the most common diseases among pregnant women and inflammatory responses can be a major reason for its induction and development. T helper 17 (Th17)/regulatory T cells (Tregs) imbalance resulting in the increased levels of pro-inflammatory and decreased levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines has been showed as major mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of GDM. There are various treatment options, but none of them are completely therapeutic. Ethyl pyruvate (EP) is a stable derivate of pyruvate that showed anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in an in-vivo and in-vitro models. To examine the therapeutic efficacy of EP in GDM, mice were mated and EP (100 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally to C57BL/6 mice. EP-treated mice exhibited improved symptoms of GDM by decreased blood glucose levels and body-weight and increased insulin levels and insulin sensitivity. Furthermore, EP could significantly attenuate the impairments to offspring, including birth size and birth weight. The inflammatory responses were also decreased by EP through regulating the production of Th17-related cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)- 17 and IL-21. The levels of other inflammatory cytokines were also inhibited, including IL-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. In addition, it was found that EP increased the population of Tregs and Treg-related cytokines, IL-10 and transforming Growth Factor-β TGF-β, in GDM mice. In conclusion, EP could modulate GDM in mice and might be a potential therapeutic strategy candidate for the treatment of patients with GDM.
