Biomechanical characterization of firefighters running under different rescue tasks.

The biomechanical characteristics of runs in firefighters with different rescue tasks are unclear. This study aimed to explore the biomechanical characteristics of firefighters running in different rescue tasks and provide theoretical and practical references for firefighter training and occupational injury prevention. Eighteen professional healthy male firefighters were randomly selected as participants and tested running on different rescue tasks: wearing firefighting protective clothing (FPC), FPC+carrying a gas can (20 kg, FPC+ C), and FPC+carrying a mannequin (60 kg, FPC+M).

Design of a Multimedia-Assisted Distance English Teaching System for College Students.

To address the problems of poor compatibility, weak load capacity, and time consumption of existing multimedia-assisted teaching systems, we propose and design a physics multimedia-assisted English teaching system based on a concept network. The architecture of the physics multimedia-assisted teaching system is constructed with the logical layer as the core, and the theoretical knowledge module, experiment module, and student practice module are designed, respectively. Based on the concept network, a large number of rules in the physics teaching system are attached to the concepts to form the concept network knowledge system and complete the design of the theoretical knowledge system.

[Regulating effect of N-acetyl-seryl-aspartyl-lysyl-proline on activation of c-jun N-terminal kinase pathway in rats with silicosis].

Objective: To investigate the regulatory effect of N-acetyl-seryl-aspartyl-lysyl-proline (AcSDKP) on the activation of c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signal transduction pathway and its role in silicotic fibrosis.

Methods: A rat model of silicosis was developed by intratracheal instillation. Sixty rats were randomly divided into 4-week control group (n = 10), 8-week control group (n = 10), 4-week silicosis model group (n = 10), 8-week silicosis model group (n = 10), AcSDKP treatment group (n = 10), and AcSDKP prevention group (n = 10).

[Effect of N-acetyl-seryl-aspartyl-lysyl-proline on regulation of expression of ras-raf-ERK1/2 signal transduction pathway in lung of rats with silicosis].

Objective: to investigate the effect of N-acetyl-seryl-aspartyl-lysyl-proline (AcSDKP) on the expressions of c-Raf, ERK1/2 and TGF-β1 in the lung of rats with silicosis, thus to investigate the regulating of AcSDKP on the Ras-Raf-ERK1/2 signal transduction pathway.

Methods: rats were instilled with silica through trachea as silicotic models and administered AcSDKP in the experiment. Rats were divided into 6 groups randomly, 10 rats in each group: Control 1 and 2 of silicotic model: each rat was intratracheally instilled with 1.

New anti-fibrotic mechanisms of n-acetyl-seryl-aspartyl-lysyl-proline in silicon dioxide-induced silicosis.

Aims: We previously reported that tetrapeptide N-acetyl-seryl-aspartyl-lysyl-proline (Ac-SDKP) inhibited pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis in SiO(2)-induced silicosis. This study aimed to explore the precise mechanism involved.

Main Methods: Rats were divided into 3 groups: 1) sham (saline), 2) silicosis+vehicle, and 3) silicosis+Ac-SDKP [800 microg/(kgd)].
