FUNCTION MONITORING AND RECOVERY METHODS IN THE REHABILITATION OF TENNIS PLAYERS

ABSTRACT Introduction Sports injury is a common injury among professional tennis players compared to other sports. Updated rehabilitation methods can accelerate players’ recovery and ensure a return to sporting activity. However, contemporary rehabilitation monitoring practices want updated reporting. Objective Monitoring tennis players’ function and recovery methods during rehabilitation training after injury. Methods The tennis player underwent arthroscopic capsulotomy of the left ankle joint, free body removal, and synovectomy. The athlete’s body composition, blood routine, biochemistry, nutritional indices, and physiological indicators were monitored. Data were collected before, during, and at the end of the four months (6-10 months) of rehabilitation after the operation. Results 1 month after the operation, weight and lean mass decreased significantly; body fat percentage increased; static heart rate increased significantly (P</div

Photophysics and Nonlinear Absorption of Cyclometalated 4,6-Diphenyl-2,2′-bipyridyl Platinum(II) Complexes with Different Acetylide Ligands

The photophysical properties of a series of 4,6-diphenyl-2,2′-bipyridyl platinum(II) complexes bearing different σ-alkynyl ancillary ligands (1a−1k) were systematically investigated. All complexes exhibit strong 1π,π* absorption bands in the UV region; and broad, structureless charge-transfer band(s) in the visible region, which systematically red-shift(s) when the electron-donating ability of the para substituent on the phenylacetylide ligand increases. All complexes are emissive in solution at room temperature. When excited at the charge-transfer absorption band, the complexes exhibit long-lived orange emission (λmax: 555 − 601 nm), which is attributed to a triplet metal-to-ligand charge transfer/intraligand charge transfer emission (3MLCT/3ILCT). Most of these complexes exhibit broad triplet transient difference absorption in the visible to the near-IR region, with a lifetime comparable to those measured from the decay of the 3MLCT/3ILCT emission. The reverse saturable absorption (RSA) of these complexes were demonstrated at 532 nm using nanosecond laser pulses. The degree of RSA follows this trend: 1k ≈ 1a > 1c > 1f ≈ 1i > 1h ≈ 1b > 1e > 1d > 1g, which is mainly determined by the ratio of the triplet excited-state absorption cross section to that of the ground-state and the triplet excited-state quantum yield

Simultaneous and Sensitive Sensing of Intracellular MicroRNA and mRNA for the Detection of the PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway in Live Cells

Simultaneous detection of the concentration variations of microRNA-221 (miRNA-221) and PTEN mRNA molecules in the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway is of significance to elucidate cancer cell migration and invasion, which is useful for cancer diagnosis and therapy. In this work, we show the biodegradable MnO2 nanosheet-assisted and target-triggered DNAzyme recycling signal amplification cascaded approach for the specific detection of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in live cells via simultaneous and sensitive monitoring of the variation of intracellular miRNA-221 and PTEN mRNA. Our nanoprobes enable highly sensitive and multiplexed sensing of miRNA-221 and PTEN mRNA with low detection limits of 23.6 and 0.59 pM in vitro, respectively, due to the signal amplification cascades. Importantly, the nanoprobes can be readily delivered into cancer cells and the MnO2 nanosheets can be degraded by intracellular glutathione to release the Mn2+ cofactors to trigger multiple DNAzyme recycling cycles to show highly enhanced fluorescence at different wavelengths to realize sensitive and multiplexed imaging of PTEN mRNA and miRNA-221 for detecting the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Moreover, the regulation of PTEN mRNA expression by miRNA-221 upon stimulation by various drugs can also be verified by our method, indicating its promising potentials for both disease diagnosis and drug screening

Sonochemical Synthesis and Ion Transport Properties of Surfactant-Stabilized Carbon Nanotube Porins

Carbon nanotube porins (CNTPs), short segments of carbon nanotubes stabilized by a lipid coating, are a promising example of artificial membrane channels that mimic a number of key behaviors of biological ion channels. While the lipid-assisted synthesis of CNTPs may facilitate their subsequent incorporation into lipid bilayers, it limits the applicability of these pores in other self-assembled membrane materials and also precludes the use of large-scale purified CNT feedstocks. Here we demonstrate that CNTPs can be synthesized by sonochemical cutting of long CNT feedstocks in the presence of different surfactants, producing CNTS with transport properties identical with those obtained by the lipid-assisted procedure. Our results open up a wide variety of synthetic routes for CNTP production
