Biological samples are important human genetic resources, which can provide great value for medical research, and how to protect and rationally utilize them is of great importance.However, at present, the blood samples after laboratory examination and the damaged tissue cleaned up in the operation will be treated as medical waste and treated according to the standard of medical waste.However, if these samples can be effectively collected and reasonably used, they can provide extremely high value for the study of sports injury-related diseases.Sports injury and joint structure belongs to multiple factors cause abnormal, through the degenerative osteoarthritis, cruciate ligament injury, patellar dislocation, discoid meniscus injury related basic research project establishment and collect the founding the research institute of sports medicine treated patients with sports injury, including degenerative osteoarthritis, intraoperative tissue, blood and saliva samples,To sample from the micro level of susceptibility genes and molecular signaling pathways to anatomical morphology and histopathologic study direction, and so on, can also for multiple transverse comparison research between samples, in order to investigate sports injury, including degenerative osteoarthritis pathogenesis, for sports trauma related disease etiology, diagnosis, treatment to provide new ideas and methods,And the selection of athletes, athletes special training plans, sports mode to provide more targeted suggestions.This study strictly complied with the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Management of Human Genetic Resources to establish the Institute of Sports Medicine Sample Bank, which can reduce the waste of human genetic resources in China, promote the development of the discipline, and provide a higher platform for the study of sports injure-related diseases.
3 d scan sequence can realize continuous thin layer scanning, the thinnest layer thickness of 0.5 mm, to reduce the effects of partial volume effect and improve the spatial resolution image, the other 3 d sequence can according to need to multiplanar reconstruction based on the original image, the image of the watch is no longer limited to a fixed plane, and can avoid repeated scanning, reducing overall inspection time. Initially, 3D MRI uses gradient echo sequences (3D-GRE). Although the scan time of 3D-GRE is acceptable and has a high spatial resolution, the contrast between tissues is poor. In recent years, is voxel 3D fast spin-echo sequence (3D-FSE) has become an alternative 3D scanning sequence. Compared with the 3D-GRE sequence, 3D-FSE has better-intertissued contrast. However, there are still some problems in the application of 3D sequence in clinical practice. On the one hand, although 3D sequence reduces the overall scanning time, it increases the single scanning time, so it is easy to produce motion artifacts. On the other hand, although many studies have demonstrated the diagnostic efficacy of 3D sequences in the diagnosis of common intraarticular structural injuries, especially in the diagnosis of knee cartilage injuries, the diagnostic value of 3D sequences is comparable to that of conventional 2D-FSE sequences, but the evidence on whether 3D sequences can replace 2D sequences is still insufficient. Recently, a new fast signal acquisition technology -- Compressed Sensing (Compressed Sensing) technology has been gradually applied to many kinds of MRI sequences, and its application in 3D sequences can greatly shorten the single scan time. In this study, Modulated Flip Angle Technique in Refocused Imaging with Extended Echo was applied by United Imaging Co., Ltd. (Compressed Sensing) Train, 3D-Matrix), which is a fast self-selected echo sequence based on variable turn Angle technology, and its single scan time can be shortened to 5 minutes. 3 d sequence to more systematic evaluation on sports injury of knee joint application value, the investigators will study from within the bony structure of knee joint injury, joint structure damage and injury of the surrounding support structure aspects to discuss the diagnosis effect, and with arthroscopy for the gold standard to evaluate the accuracy of the 3 d structure within the sequence in the diagnosis of knee joint injury.
The aims of the study are to describe the injury patterns among recreational skiers and snowboarders in China and to provide primary data to guide the reconstruction of regional healthcare facilities to deal with the increasing number of participants in snow sports.
This project is planned to be based on the medical insurance database collected by the China Health Insurance Research Association (CHIRA). As a national academic research institution, CHIRA collects medical insurance patient data, covering more than 20 provinces across the country. The data of more than 60 municipalities, provincial capitals, and prefecture-level cities are unique and authoritative in my country. Based on the CHIRA database, big data analysis for Chinese sports medicine patients, starting from the names of medical institutions, admission/discharge diagnosis and classification of medical items, etc., to investigate the development trend of arthroscopic surgery in China and understand my country's arthroscopic diseases The distribution characteristics and changing trends of the quantity.
The investigators aim to use a repeated measures observational study utilising a battery of multimodal assessment tools (symptom, cognitive, visual, motor). The investigators aim to recruit 200 rugby players (male and female) from University Rugby Union teams and local amateur rugby clubs in the North East of England. The multimodal battery assessment used in this study will compare metrics between digital methods and against traditional assessment.
Two middle school (ages 11-14) football teams will be in Aim 1 of this study. All interested athletes on these teams will be invited to voluntarily participate in biomechanical data collection; of those enrolled, 15-20 per team will be randomly selected for instrumentation with head impact sensors. In aim 3, two youth football teams at the middle school level will be recruited to pilot an intervention developed this study. The football coaches of each team will be prospectively recruited and enrolled. All interested athletes on these teams will be enrolled; of those enrolled, 15-20 per team will be randomly selected for instrumentation with head impact sensors. Baseline and post-season neurocognitive data will be collected.
The purpose of this study is to examine the acute neural responses to subconcussive head impacts in individuals with Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The study is designed to identify the effects of 10 controlled soccer headings in college-aged soccer players diagnosed with ADHD and without ADHD, through the use of neural-injury blood biomarkers, functional and diffusion MRI, and ocular-motor function across three acute timepoints. The central hypothesis is that neuronal structural, physiological, and functional impairments from subconcussive head impacts will be amplified by ADHD. The neural-injury blood biomarkers neurofilament light (NF-L), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase-L1 (UCHL-1), and Tau will be measured in plasma, with the hypothesis that 10 soccer headings will significantly increase plasma NF-L levels in both groups at 24h post-heading compared to baseline, but this increase will be higher in the ADHD group; plasma UCH-L1, GFAP, and Tau levels will increase significantly after 10 headings in the ADHD group at 2h and 24h post-heading, but levels in the non-ADHD group will remain consistent throughout the time points. It is also hypothesized that repetitive subconcussive head impacts will impair neurocognitive function, as measured by regional changes in fMRI activation during working memory and attention-based tasks, in the ADHD group. Ten headings will significantly alter fMRI activation in the ADHD group from baseline. This impairment will not be observed in the non-ADHD group, rather the non-ADHD group will show consistent fMRI activation even after 10 headings. White matter microstructure will be measured by diffusion imaging metrics, with the hypothesis that 10 soccer headings will significantly disrupt microstructure in the ADHD group compared to baseline, but not in the non-ADHD group. The study will also assess neuro-ophthalmologic function as measured by the King-Devick test (KDT) and oculomotor function as measured by the near-point-of-convergence (NPC) in response to subconcussive head impacts. The hypothesis is that NPC performance will be significantly impaired and persist for longer than 24 hours in both groups, but this impairment will be greater in the ADHD group, and that the learning curve and expected improvement of KDT will be significantly blunted in both groups, with a display of worsening in the ADHD group.
Dance is a performing art form consisting of sports and art intertwined and complex dynamic choreographic figures were handled aesthetically and physically of narrative. Scientific studies are insufficient on dance and health and performance of dancers in the literature although dance is the most used type of art and sport in all societies and for all age groups. It is seen that the core stabilization (central forces) of the dancers is insufficient when the current studies were examined, this insufficient stabilization causes biomechanical changes in the trunk, and indirectly affects the lower extremities. Consequently, insufficient stabilization was shown to be caused impairment of force generation and injuries. In addition, lack of core stabilization of dancers may cause impairment in balance and postural control. Therefore, dancers need a good postural control with provided by an effective core stabilization training in order to exhibit a successful and healthy performance. It is shown that inspiratory muscle training (IMT) improves diaphragm strength and diaphragm thickness. Considering the relation between diaphragm muscle forming the upper (ceiling) part of the core area, and balance, IMT may also have an impact on postural control and balance alongside the standard clinical parameters such as respiratory muscle strength and diaphragm thickness in dancers. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of inspiratory muscle training on diaphragm thickness, postural stability, balance, respiratory muscle strength in dancers.
