BACKGROUND: Individuals with chronic ankle instability are prone to inversion ankle sprains during landing. Moderately increasing the foot toe-out angle during landing may reduce the occurrence of inversion ankle sprains, but no studies have directly demonstrated this effect. OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of increased toe-out angle during landing on the peak inversion angle, peak angular velocity, and the time to peak inversion among individuals with and without chronic ankle instability. METHODS: A total of 60 participants were recruited for this study, including 30 individuals with chronic ankle instability and 30 without chronic ankle instability. The study utilized a simulated sprain apparatus for drop-landing tests, featuring a platform that could tilt forward by 24° and inward by 15°, thus simulating the foot position during an ankle inversion sprain. Participants were required to perform drop-landing tests under two landing conditions: natural landing and toe-out landing, with the latter involving a greater foot toe-out angle, over 150% more than the former. Kinematic data of participants were recorded using a 12-camera three-dimensional motion capture system. Data analysis was conducted using two-way repeated measures analysis of variance and Spearman correlation analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Significant main effects of condition were found for peak inversion angle during drop-landing (P < 0.001, η² p=0.270), peak inversion velocity (P=0.015, η² p=0.098), and peak inversion time (P < 0.001, η² p=0.260); a significant main effect of group was found for peak inversion velocity (P=0.029, η² p=0.080). (2) There were significant negative correlations between the foot toe-out angle at landing and the peak ankle inversion angle (P=0.021, r=-0.310; P=0.042, r=-0.278) as well as the peak inversion time (P=0.018, r=-0.312; P=0.021, r=-0.309) in both chronic ankle instability and non-chronic ankle instability groups. Moreover, a significant negative correlation was also found between the foot toe-out angle and peak inversion velocity in the chronic ankle instability group (P=0.021, r=-0.312). (3) It is indicated that increasing the foot toe-out angle at landing can reduce the peak inversion angle, peak inversion velocity, and the peak inversion time during landing in patients with chronic ankle instability and non-chronic ankle instability, thereby decreasing the risk of ankle inversion sprains.

In order to explore the effects of compound plant essential oil on the growth performance and intestinal health of yellow feathered broilers, a total of 120 1- day- old commercial yellow feathered broilers were randomly divided into four groups: the control group, the experimental group Ⅰ, the experimental group Ⅱ, and the experimental group Ⅲ. Each group had three replicates, with 10 replicates per replicate. The control group of yellow feathered broilers was fed with a basic diet, and experimental groups Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ of yellow feathered broilers were given 0.02%, 0.04% and 0.06%, respectively compound plant essential oil on the basis of the basic diet (thymol, carvol and cinnamaldehyde in a ratio of 1:1:3); during the experimental period of 60 days, the average qualified product release rate, average daily feed intake, average body weight, and feed to weight ratio of yellow feather broilers were statistically analyzed. At the same time, the intestinal digestive enzyme activity and intestinal microbial colony count of yellow feather broilers were tested. The results showed that compared with the control group, the average daily feed intake of yellow feathered broilers in the experimental groups Ⅰ-Ⅲ was significantly reduced (P<0.05), and the feed to weight ratio was significantly reduced (P<0.05); experimental group Ⅰ-Ⅲ yellow feather broiler chicken duodenal intestine α- the activities of amylase, lipase and trypsin were significantly increased (P<0.05), while the numbers of Escherichia coli and Salmonella in the cecal intestine were significantly reduced (P<0.05). The results showed that adding compound plant essential oil to the basic diet of yellow feathered broilers not only inhibited the proliferation of harmful bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella, but also improved the growth performance of yellow feathered broilers. The addition of 0.06% had the best effect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The experiment aimed to investigate the effects of different levels of yeast selenium on growth performance, slaughter performance, meat quality and serum antioxidant indexes of Australian cold lake sheep and then evaluate the application effect and suitable amount of yeast selenium added in the production of Australian cold lake sheep. In the experiment, a total of 60 lake sheep with uniform body weight [(25±2) kg] were randomly divided into four groups (group CK, group A, group B and group C), 15 replicates per group, one sheep per replicate, and 0, 0.05, 0.15 and 0.25 mg · kg-1 of yeast selenium were added to the basal diet of corn- soybean meal type, respectively, for a pretest period of 15 d and a favorable test period of 60 d. The results showed that the average daily weight gain of groups B and C was 12.86% and 11.02% higher than that of the group CK (P<0.05); the feed to gain ratio of group B was 25.91% and 14.81% lower than that of group CK and group A (P<0.05); the slaughter rate of group B was 6.55% and 2.80% higher than that of group CK and group A (P<0.05); the net meat rate of group B was 5.71% and 2.67% higher than that of group CK and group A (P<0.05); the muscle tenderness of group B was 29.99% and 17.65% higher than than of group CK and group A (P<0.05); the total antioxidant capacity of groups B and C was 36.52% and 23.82% higher than that of CK group (P<0.05), and group B was 17.57% higher than that of group A (P<0.05). In conclusion, adding 0.15 mg · kg-1 yeast selenium to the diet of Australian cold crossbred fattening sheep could significantly increased the daily weight gain, improved the quality of lamb meat and enhanced the antioxidant capacity in the serum of lake sheep with the best effect.

Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of Jiangzhitongmai capsule combined with rosuvastatin in the treatment of coronary heart disease with carotid atherosclerotic plaque. Methods: 80 patients with coronary heart disease with carotid atherosclerotic plaque who were admitted to our hospital from February 2018 to October 2019 were selected, patients were divided into control group (n=40) and study group (n=40) according to the method of random number table. Patients in the control group were treated with rosuvastatin, while patients in the study group were treated with Jiangzhitongmai capsule on the basis of the control group. The curative effect, blood lipid, heart function, carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), carotid plaque score and adverse reactions of patients in the two groups were compared. 6 months after treatment, the total clinical effective rate of the study group was 90.00%(36/40), which was higher than 70.00% (28/40) of the control group (P<0.05). Results: 6 months after treatment, the cardiac output (CO) and ejection fraction (LVEF) of the two groups were higher than those before treatment, study group was higher control group (P<0.05). The left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) was lower than that before treatment, study group was lower control group(P<0.05). Total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglyceride (TG) of the two groups at 6 months after treatment decreased compared with before treatment, and study group was lower than control group (P<0.05). The high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was higher than before treatment, study group was higher control group (P<0.05). The scores of IMT and carotid plaque scores in the two groups at 6 months after treatment decreased compared with before treatment, and study group were lower than control group (P<0.05). No obvious adverse reactions were found in both groups. Conclusion: Jiangzhi tongmai capsule combined with rosuvastatin is effective in the treatment of coronary heart disease with carotid atherosclerotic plaques. It can effectively improve the patients' blood lipid, cardiac function and carotid artery plaque lesions, and it is safe and reliable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
