Background: Sedentary behavior (SB) is associated with chronic musculoskeletal pain, but limited evidence exists about its impact on chronic spinal pain (CSP).

Aim: This study aims to explore the relationship between SB, physical activity, and the risk of CSP.

Design: Cross-sectional and cohort study design.

A green and eco-friendly solvothermal approach is proposed for the synthesis of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) from watermelon rind. The as-prepared CQDs exhibited superior teal fluorescence in aqueous solutions, with a quantum yield of 13.9%.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the relationship between sedentary behavior, physical activity, and chronic back pain, aiming to understand how these factors might predict chronic pain and brain changes.
  • Over an 8-year follow-up, the research found that individuals sitting for more than 6 hours a day had a 33% increased risk of chronic back pain compared to those sitting 2 hours or less, alongside effects on grey matter volume in various brain regions.
  • Engaging in moderate physical activity and reducing sedentary time were linked to lower back pain risk and improved brain health, indicating that replacing sedentary behavior with physical activity can be beneficial.

Neuropathic pain (NP) is a frequent condition caused by a lesion in, or disease of, the central or peripheral somatosensory nervous system and is associated with excessive inflammation in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a supplementary treatment for NP. In clinical research, rTMS of 5-10 Hz is widely placed in the primary motor cortex (M1) area, mostly at 80%-90% RMT, and 5-10 treatment sessions could produce an optimal analgesic effect.

An interesting phenomenon that plasma-activated water (PAW) treatment reduced the malonaldehyde (MDA) content in muscle foods was observed in both previous reports and the present study. However, the mechanism remains unclear. To clarify the theoretical basis of this phenomenon, the main reactive components in PAW were determined, and the changes in the fatty acid profile in tuna muscle after PAW treatment were analyzed.

Objectives: Health-related physical-fitness (HRPF) involves multi-components of physical functional tests and is reported to be associated with the risk of fall. The study sought to determine whether specific physical fitness components were stronger predictors of falls among elderly people.

Methods: This prospective cohort study involved 299 community residents age ≥60 years from Shanghai, China.

In this study, the degradation of myoglobin both in solution and in tuna muscle by cold plasma (CP) was investigated through ultraviolet-visible and fluorescence spectroscopy analysis, and the effect of the degradation products on lipid oxidation in washed turbot muscle (WTM) was explored. Results showed that heme in myoglobin was degraded upon CP treatment, from which a fluorescent product was formed and iron was released. The degradation products promoted lipid oxidation in WTM during cold storage, in which the released iron played an important role.

In this study, the main reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) in cold plasma treated air (CPTA) were determined, and their effects on lipid oxidation, fatty acid composition and volatile profile in dry-cured black carp were investigated. Results showed that ozone (O) and nitrogen dioxide (NO) were the main ROS/RNS, both of which were in a few mg/m to tens mg/m. Increased peroxide value (POV), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) level indicated CPTA promoted lipid oxidation in samples.

Article Synopsis
  • This study examines the factors influencing water use efficiency (WUE) in eight regions of China from 1982 to 2015, utilizing datasets for gross primary production and evapotranspiration.
  • WUE varies seasonally, with autumn showing the highest efficiency and winter the lowest, while factors such as air temperature, humidity, and vegetation index play significant roles in these changes.
  • Over the study period, shrublands showed the highest annual WUE, followed by forests and croplands, with farmland performing better than grasslands in most locations.

Aim: This systematic review aimed to investigate the effect of different breathing exercises on respiratory muscle function, 6-minute walk test (6MWT), and quality of life (QoL) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Methods: We searched online databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Ovid for randomized controlled trials that assessed the efficacy of breathing exercises on patients with COPD. Patient outcome parameters included changes in respiratory muscle function, 6MWT, and QoL.

A randomised controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the administration of the Health Improvement Card (HIC) on lifestyle practices and biometric variables in community-dwelling Chinese participants. Adults living in Shanghai were randomly assigned to either the HIC-intervention or control group. Measurements/assessments were conducted at baseline and three-month follow-up.

This study investigated the perceptions of Chinese physical therapy students on use of the Health Improvement Card (HIC) as a clinical tool to assess lifestyle and prescribe health education to others. The biometrics and health indices/attributes/lifestyles of these students were also evaluated with self-administration of the HIC. After a tutorial on the HIC and its clinical application, physical therapy students (n = 82) from two Chinese universities, completed the Chinese translation of the HIC followed by a questionnaire on students' perceptions of it.
