Background: The shoulder pain and reduced range of motion caused by breast cancer seriously affect the quality of life of women. Such persistent impairments can escalate into chronic pain, diminished muscle strength, lymphedema, and compromised cardiorespiratory health potentially culminating in permanent disability. This systematic review aims to evaluate how physical exercise impacts shoulder mobility and upper limb function in breast cancer patients post-surgery, examining various aspects of exercise such as type, intensity, duration, frequency, and intervention timing to determine the influence on outcomes.

Objective: Ischaemic stroke has a high death rate and frequently results in long-term and severe brain damage in survivors. miRNA-124-3p (miR-124-3p) treatment has been suggested to reduce ischaemia and play a vital function in avoiding neuron death. An investigation of the role of miR-124-3p, in the ischaemia damage repair or protection in the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model and oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) model, was the purpose of this research.

MATERIAL AND METHODS Based on the time interval from injury to MRI examination, the 204 patients in this study were divided into 3 groups: subacute (6 weeks to 3 months), intermediate (3 months to 1 year), and chronic (>1 year). All patients received both routine MRI (MRI R) and maximum knee flexion in the lateral decubitus position MRI (MRI S) examination, followed by knee arthroscopy.

Objective: This paper aims to systematically evaluate the intervention effect of mind-body exercise on cancer-related fatigue in breast cancer patients.
Methods: Databases including PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and SINOMED were retrieved to collect randomized controlled trials on the effects of mind-body exercise on relieving cancer-related fatigue in breast cancer patients. The retrieval period started from the founding date of each database to January 6, 2021.
Unlabelled: To analyze the application value of an ultrasonic scalpel combined with internal oxygen assisted intravenous drip of sodium nitroprusside in laparoscopic cholecystectomy for elderly patients with acute cholecystitis.
Methods: A total of 76 patients with acute cholecystitis who were admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to December 2018 were included and equally divided into two groups. The control group was treated with ultrasonic scalpel alone, while the study group was treated with ultrasonic scalpel combined with internal oxygen and intravenous drip of sodium nitroprusside.

We hypothesized that upregulation of CaMKIIδA in cardiomyocytes might enhance Ca leak from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) via activation of phosphorylated ryanodine receptor type 2 (P-RyR2) and decrease Ca uptake by inhibition of SR calcium ATPase 2a (SERCA2a). In this study, CHF was induced in rats by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery.
