Exploring the Rules of Related Parameters in Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation for Cancer Pain Based on Data Mining.

Introduction: This study aims to investigate the regularity of related parameters in the treatment of cancer pain using transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS).

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, OVID, CNKI, CBM, VIP, and WANNGFANG from inception up to December 2022. A database was established, and data mining techniques were applied to analyze the relevant TENS parameters.

Ditangquan exercises based on safe-landing strategies prevent falls and injury among older individuals with sarcopenia.

Background: Sarcopenia is the age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function; it is a risk factor for falls among older individuals. Few studies have focused on training such individuals to adopt a safe-landing strategy that would protect them from fall-related injuries. Ditangquan is a traditional Chinese martial art comprising movements that conform to the principles of safe landing.

Traditional Chinese Medicine and Sarcopenia: A Systematic Review.

Sarcopenia has become a key challenge for healthy aging in older adults. However, it remains unclear whether traditional Chinese medicine can effectively treat sarcopenia. This systematic review analyzes the current evidence for the effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) on sarcopenia.

Functional conservation and divergence of duplicated insulin-like growth factor 2 genes in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus).

Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) is a potent mitogenic and survival factor involved in the regulation of growth, development and reproduction in animals. Only one IGF2 gene exists in mammals. Recently, two igf2 genes have been identified in zebrafish, which presumably resulted from gene duplication.
