Objective: This study evaluated the effectiveness of tai chi, enhanced by communication technologies, in improving cognitive and physical functioning in patients with mild cognitive impairment, and to compare these effects with traditional tai chi.
Methods: A systematic search across four academic databases identified 16 studies with 1,877 participants. Data were expressed as weighted or standardized mean differences with 95% confidence intervals.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the impact of cholinergic dysfunction on EEG complexity in Alzheimer's disease (AD) by using a new computer model of the hippocampal CA1 circuit.
- The model incorporates specific currents to simulate cholinergic inputs and demonstrates that greater cholinergic deficits lead to reduced EEG complexity, as measured by sample entropy (SampEn) and approximate entropy (ApEn).
- The findings suggest a significant decline in neuronal excitability in AD patients, with statistical analyses showing differences in information processing rates between AD and normal control groups, highlighting the importance of monitoring SampEn and auto-mutual-information (AMI) for understanding cholinergic impairment in AD.
Objective: This study explores the age effects of the sport education model(SEM) on the impact of basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence, relatedness) and intrinsic motivation (interest, enjoyment, satisfaction) among adolescent students.
Method: Retrieval of relevant literature from PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). The search period ranged from the starting year to January 7, 2024.

Objective: To study the effect of Erxian Decoction (EXD) on oligospermia (OS) induced by cyclophosphamide in mice.
Methods: Eighty 6-week-old male Kunming mice were randomly divided into five groups of equal number, normal control, OS model control, and low-, medium- and high-dose EXD, the former two groups treated intragastrically with normal saline and the latter three with EXD at 3, 6 and 12 g per kg of the body weight qd for 30 days. From the 21st day of administration, the mice of the normal control group were injected intraperitoneally with saline and those of the other four groups with cyclophosphamide at 80 mg per kg of the body weight qd for 5 consecutive days.
