Exploring the impact of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphism on early diastolic function in hypertension using four-dimensional echocardiography by Xinyu Cheng, Zhiyi Zong, Xiaofei Mei, Yufeng Jiang, Jinsheng Shen, Hezi Jiang, Hui Xu, Yafeng Zhou

“…Patients were subsequently classified into the diastolic dysfunction group (n = 133) and the normal diastolic function group (n = 141). Chi-square tests were used to analyze differences in diastolic function indicators between the groups, Logistic regression was applied to control for potential confounding factors, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to assess the predictive value of different ACE alleles for diastolic dysfunction in patients with hypertension. …”

Effect of closed-chain isometric plyometric training combined with palonosetron on postoperative knee function in patients after total knee arthroplasty by Jingwen Shao, Shaoyi Qu, Jing Wang, Dan Sun, Qing Hu, Zhongxiang Luo

“…Knee function was evaluated using the Hospital for Specialty Surgery Knee (HSS), quadriceps muscle strength was assessed using real-time isometric plyometric testing with the BIODEX-sYs-tem 4-type system, walking ability was evaluated using the Timed Up-and-Go Test (TUGT), and proprioception was determined using the Biodex System 4-type multi-joint isometric system.ResultsAfter-the intervention,-the-HSS scores-of-the-experimental-group-were-higher-than-those-of-the-control-group-(P < 0.05); the peak moment values of the quadriceps (PT), the total quadriceps work values (STW), and the average power of the quadriceps (AP) were higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05); and the values of the reproduced deviation of the knee joint active joint angle and the TUGT time were lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05).ConclusionClosed-chain isokinetic plyometric training combined with palonosetron can strengthen their muscle strength and improve proprioception, which effectively promotes the recovery of postoperative knee function and walking ability in TKA patients.…”
