Background: The increasing global popularity of traditional Chinese exercise (TCE) provides substantial evidence of its significant efficacy in treating knee osteoarthritis (KOA). To assess the impact of different types of TCE and varying exercise durations on KOA patients, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on this topic.
Methods: Two investigators extensively searched four electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science) from their inception until December 16, 2023, to identify all relevant RCTs on the use of TCE for KOA treatment.
Background: Physical exercise is recognized as a potential strategy to mitigate the cognitive decline associated with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). This systematic review aims to examine the specific effects of physical exercise on cortical brain activity in patients with MCI, an area that has not been thoroughly explored.
Methods: We conducted a search across 9 electronic databases for randomized controlled trials assessing the impact of physical exercise on the cortical activity of patients with MCI.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection therapy holds great promise in improving knee cartilage repair. This bibliometric analysis aimed to explore the research landscape in the application of PRP for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) over the last 15 years. All articles investigating PRP in the application of KOA were retrieved from the web of science core collection.

- Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe and potentially fatal type of stroke, and COVID-19 may increase mortality rates in ICH patients.* -
- Ferulic acid, a bioactive compound from medicinal herbs, shows promise in providing neuroprotection and reducing inflammation, suggesting it could be beneficial for patients suffering from both ICH and COVID-19.* -
- The study utilized network pharmacology and molecular docking to identify key targets and mechanisms of ferulic acid, finding that it may help combat COVID-19 and ICH through antiviral effects and inflammation modulation, although further experimental validation is needed.*
Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a chronic degenerative disease that is closely related to the meniscus. Currently, no bibliometric studies have jointly analyzed KOA and the meniscus. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive analysis of the knowledge structure of KOA and the meniscus across two decades and to identify the emerging research trends from a bibliometric perspective.

Methods: One hundred patients (35 males and 65 females, ranging from 50 to 70 years old with an average age of 63 years) with patellofemoral pain syndrome were randomly and equally divided into treatment group and control group. All patients underwent arthroscopic treatment.
