“…Multivariate analysis showed that the rate of abnormal liver function was higher in males than that in females (OR=1.53, 95%CI: 1.36‒1.73), higher in suburbs than that in urban areas (OR=1.43, 95%CI: 1.21‒1.70), higher in those with overweight than in those with normal BMI (OR=1.16, 95%CI: 1.01‒1.33), higher in those with obesity than in those with those with normal BMI (OR=1.61, 95%CI: 1.36‒1.91), higher in those with elevated blood glucose than in those without elevated blood glucose (OR=1.39, 95%CI: 1.23‒1.58), and higher in those with abnormal TC than in those with normal TC (OR=1.36, 95%CI: 1.13‒1.65).The difference in the rate of ALT abnormalities among the SMD patients in Jinshan District with different medication status was statistically significant (χ2=21.928, P<0.001). Whereas, the differences in the effects of the types of mental disorders and medication status on the status of liver function abnormalities were not statistically significant(P>0.05).ConclusionThe detection rate of liver function abnormalities in community-based SMD patients in Shanghai is high, and male, suburban, and accompanied by elevated BMI, BP, blood glucose, and TC are risk factors for liver function abnormalities in patients with SMD. …”

Effect and Mechanism of Action of Pushing Method on Rats with Skeletal Muscle Overuse Injury based on Wnt/β-catenin Signaling Pathway by DUAN Miaomiao, HUANG Bo, RUAN Lei, MU Pangpang, CHEN Yiming, PENG Liang

“…Catenin protein expression levels.Results(1) Comparison of motor function：compared with the blank group, the time of passing through the balance beam and the number of times of sliding paw were significantly increased in the model group and intervention group after intervention, and the difference was statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the model group, the time of passing through the paw and the number of times of sliding paw were significantly decreased in the intervention group after intervention, and the difference was statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). (2) Gastrocnemius muscle histopathological changes：the model group can be seen in the gastrocnemius muscle a large number of myocytes can be seen within the cracks, myogenic fibers fracture; compared with the model group, the degree of damage to the gastrocnemius muscle tissues in the intervention group to reduce the degree of damage, can be seen in the form of myofibers is regular, neatly arranged. (3) Ultrastructural changes in gastrocnemius muscle tissue：local myogenic fiber bundles were broken and dissolved, and a small amount of Z-line structure was dissolved and blurred; compared with the model group, the gastrocnemius muscle cells in the intervention group were slightly edematous, and the structure of the myogenic fiber bundles was clear; part of the myogenic fiber bundles were broken, and the structure of the Z-lines was clear and more neatly arranged. (4) Gastrocnemius muscle tissue MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 mRNA transcript levels：compared with the blank group, MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 mRNA transcript levels were significantly higher in both the model group and the intervention group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the model group, MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 mRNA transcript levels were significantly higher in the intervention group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). (5) Gastrocnemius muscle tissue MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 protein expression level：compared with the blank group, MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 protein expression water were significantly higher in both the model group and the intervention group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the model group, MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 protein expression level was significantly higher in the intervention group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).
