Abstract
The incidence of aging-related cognitive decline is increasing with population aging. It is urgent to explore ways to ameliorate aging-related cognitive decline. Cognitive-exercise dual-task intervention has shown beneficial effects on improving cognition in aging cohorts, but the mechanisms of the effects remain unclear. In this study, 18-month-old Sprague Dawley rats served as a model of natural aging. First, the performance in the Morris water maze test and the change in synaptophysin content in the hippocampus were used to investigate the cognitive decline of 18-month-old rats. Then, a batch of 18-month-old rats was treated with cognitive, exercise, or cognitive-exercise dual-task intervention for 12 weeks. The novel object recognition test was used to assess cognitive ability. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blotting were used to detect the levels of oxidative stress molecules and synaptic plasticity-related proteins. We found that cognitive-exercise dual-task intervention improved the discrimination index of natural aging rats. After dual-task intervention, the expression levels of synaptophysin, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase were increased, and the expression level of lipid peroxide malondialdehyde was decreased. Furthermore, the effect of dual-task intervention on synaptic plasticity-related proteins and oxidative stress indicators was greater than that of single cognitive or exercise intervention. In conclusion, cognitive-exercise dual-task intervention can significantly ameliorate aging-related cognitive decline, and the improvement might be related to the reduction of oxidative stress and the enhancement of synaptic plasticity. The effect of cognitive-exercise dual-task intervention may be better than that of single cognitive or exercise intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In China, 45% of stroke patients suffer from poststroke shoulder pain, which brings about many obstacles to further rehabilitation. To date, there have been a few studies evaluating the effects of acupuncture or massage in treating poststroke shoulder pain, and good effects have been shown. However, better clinical treatments are still needed. OBJECTIVE To explore a more effective treatment for poststroke shoulder pain, the clinical effects of moxibustion plus acupuncture were assessed. METHODS Sixty patients were randomly divided into the control and intervention groups. The control group received a standard stroke treatment protocol including acupuncture, and the intervention group was given moxibustion in addition to this treatment. The visual analog scale (VAS), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Fugl-Meyer motor assessment, Barthel Index, and 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17) were applied, and differences were analyzed. RESULTS After 4 weeks of treatment, compared with the control group, the intervention group demonstrated significant improvement in Fugl-Meyer motor assessment and HAMD-17 (both <.01) as well as in the VAS, NIHSS and Barthel Index (all <.05). CONCLUSION Moxibustion plus acupuncture treatment can alleviate poststroke shoulder pain, improve upper limb motor function and the ability to perform activities of daily living, and relieve patients' depression.

Abstract
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been shown to effectively improve impaired swallowing in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with dysphagia. However, little is known about how rTMS affects the corresponding brain regions in this patient group. In this case-control study, we examined data from 38 PD patients with dysphagia who received treatment at Beijing Rehabilitation Medicine Academy, Capital Medical University. The patients received high-frequency rTMS of the motor cortex once per day for 10 successive days. Changes in brain activation were compared via functional magnetic resonance imaging in PD patients with dysphagia and healthy controls. The results revealed that before treatment, PD patients with dysphagia showed greater activation in the precentral gyrus, supplementary motor area, and cerebellum compared with healthy controls, and this enhanced activation was weakened after treatment. Furthermore, before treatment, PD patients with dysphagia exhibited decreased activation in the parahippocampal gyrus, caudate nucleus, and left thalamus compared with healthy controls, and this activation increased after treatment. In addition, PD patients with dysphagia reported improved subjective swallowing sensations after rTMS. These findings suggest that swallowing function in PD patients with dysphagia improved after rTMS of the motor cortex. This may have been due to enhanced activation of the caudate nucleus and parahippocampal gyrus. The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital of Capital Medical University (approval No. 2018bkky017) on March 6, 2018 and was registered with Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (registration No. ChiCTR 1800017207) on July 18, 2018.

Abstract
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is an indispensable tool in detecting Majorana bound states (MBSs) in vortices of topological superconductors. By reducing the computational complexity via non-uniform grids, we systematically study the tunnel coupling as well as the temperature dependence of the differential conductance of MBSs in two dimensional devices. Numerical results show that the conductance peak approaches the quantized value 2e 2/h in strong coupling limit at low temperatures which are characteristic features of MBSs. More interestingly, a conductance local minimum in the spatially scanning is observed when the STM tip is placed at the vortex center. The dip structure can be enhanced with increased temperature or enlarged vortex size. We ascribe this observation to the sensitivity of the Andreev reflection processes of carriers at the vortex center where the thermal energy could be comparable to the vanishing pair potential. We also investigate the STM of two-vortex systems where the hybridization of the vortices can lead to oscillatory behavior of the state energy. With small inter-vortex distances, the original MBSs in vortices can merge into topologically trivial states and the conductance peak can be significantly suppressed.

Abstract
Objectives To investigate the biomechanical characteristics of patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury by gait analysis, surface electromyography (SEMG), and proprioception test, and provide rehabilitation suggestions according to the results. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, 90 adults with unilateral ACL injury, ranging in age from 19 to 45 years (66 men and 24 women, average age: 30.03 ± 7.91) were recruited for this study form May 2018 to July 2019. They were divided into three groups according to the time after the injury: group A (3‐week to 1.5‐month), group B (1.5‐month to 1 year), and group C (more than 1 year). The SEMG signals were collected from the bilateral rectus femoris (RF), vastus medialis (VM), and vastus lateralis (VL) and the root mean square (RMS) were used to assess muscular activity. SEMG were used to analyze muscles function, gait analysis was used to evaluate the walking stability, balance and location assessment were used to analyze the proprioception. Results Through the comparison between bilateral limbs, all muscles strength shown decreased (RF: 239.94 ± 129.70 vs 364.81 ± 148.98, P = 0.001; VM: 298.88 ± 175.41 vs 515.79 ± 272.49, P = 0.001; VL:389.54 ± 157.97 vs 594.28 ± 220.31, P < 0.001) and the division of proprioception became larger (tandem position: 7.79 ± 1.57 vs 6.33 ± 1.49, P = 0.001; stance with one foot: 8.13 ± 0.84 vs 7.1 ± 0.57, P = 0.003; variance of 30°: 6.96 ± 3.15 vs 4.45 ± 1.67, P = 0.03; variance of 60°: 4.64 ± 3.38 vs 2.75 ± 1.98, P = 0.044) in the injured side when compared to the non‐injured and 26 gait parameters were shown difference in group A. In group B, the muscle strength of VL shown decreased (VL: 381.23 ± 142.07 vs 603.9 ± 192.72, P < 0.001) and the division of location of 30° became larger (7.62 ± 4.98 vs 4.33 ± 3.24, P = 0.028) in the injured side when compared to the non‐injured side and there were eight gait parameters that showed differences. In group C, the muscle strength and proprioception showed no differences and only 16 gait parameters showed differences between the bilateral limbs. Conclusion The results proved the deterioration of proprioception in 30° of injured side will not recover and non‐injury side and will become worse after 1 year from the injury; among the VL, VM, and RF, the recovery rate of VL is the slowest and bilateral straight leg raising (SLR) (30°) is the best way to train it; the gait stability will be worse after 1 year from the injury. Therefore, we suggest that the training for proprioception in 30° and VL are important for the rehabilitation, and the ACL reconstruction should be performed within 1 year.

Abstract
Background: Xiaoyaosan (XYS) has achieved definite curative effects in clinic. However, the mechanism is not clear. Previous studies of our team indicated XYS improved anxiety-like behaviors through inhibiting c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway of hippocampus. Objectives: In the study, we explored whether the JNK signaling pathway is involved in the mechanism of XYS treating depression. Method: Forty-eight rats were divided randomly into 4 groups (n = 12): the control group (deionized water, p.o.), the model group (deionized water, p.o.), the fluoxetine group (2.08 mg/kg/day, p.o.), and the XYS group (3.9 g/kg/day, p.o.). All rats except for the control group were given continuous 21 days of chronic immobilization stress (CIS; 3 h/day). On day 29, the body weights and the behavioral tests, including the novelty suppressed feeding test, the open field test, and the elevated plus maze test, were measured. On day 30, all the rats were sacrificed, and three indices of the JNK signaling pathway were tested by Western blot. Results: The body weight and behavioral tests of all groups indicated that 21 days of CIS induced depression-like behaviors. After 21 days of treatment with fluoxetine and XYS, changes were seen in body weight, behaviors, and JNK, phosphorylated JNK (P-JNK), and phosphorylated c-Jun (P-c-Jun) levels in the hippocampus. Conclusions: XYS ameliorated the depression-like behaviors, potentially through affecting the JNK signaling pathway in the hippocampus.

Abstract
We investigate the critical supercurrent in Josephson junctions consisting of topological Anderson insulators (TAIs) via the Matsubara Green's function formalism. Our numerical results show that the disorder-induced edge states display distinct differences in dominating normal and supercurrent transport in the TAI phase. Unlike the hallmark of the TAI phase which exhibits a quantized conductance plateau, the critical supercurrent over the disorder strength exhibits a peak structure where the maximum value is reached at the weak-disorder boundary of the TAI phase. Although the magnitude of the averaged critical supercurrent is suppressed with increasing disorder strength, periodic oscillations of the supercurrent on an external magnetic flux survive in the TAI phase. These findings indicate that the supercurrent quantum interference effect can be an effective probe in detecting the emergence of disorder-induced edge state in TAIs.

Abstract
PURPOSE The main purpose of the present study was to determine the anticancer properties of imperatorin - a naturally occurring coumarin compound - against SGC-7901 human gastric adenocarcinoma cells and the mouse fibroblast cell line 3T3 (normal cell line). METHODS Imperatorin effects on apoptosis induction, cell cycle phase distribution and PI3K/Akt/m-TOR signalling pathways were studied. MTT cell viability assay examined the compound's cytotoxic potential, while inverted phase contrast microscopy and fluorescence microscopy techniques were used to study morphological changes induced in SGC-7901 cells by imperatorin. Flow cytometry examined its effects on cell cycle progression while Western blot assay was used to study changes in protein expressions of PI3K/Akt/m-TOR pathway. RESULTS Imperatorin induced a dose-dependent growth inhibition of the SGC-7901 gastric cancer cells with an IC50 value 62.6 μM, while in case of normal 3T3 mouse fibroblast cells, the drug did not show significant toxicity (IC50 value 195.8 μM), indicating that the drug selectively induced cytotoxicity in gastric cancer cells. The cells became rounded up, shrunken in size and got detached from the monolayer attached to well surface. Cells treated with 10, 75 and 175 μM imperatorin indicated that they began to emit yellow or red fluorescence which is an indication of early or late apoptosis respectively. Imperatorin also induced significant DNA fragmentation along with increasing the fraction of sub-G1 cells, indicating a sub-G1 cell cycle arrest. CONCLUSION Imperatorin could prove an important lead molecule for the treatment of gastric cancer and deserves further research in vivo against more cell lines.

Abstract
Fourteen microsatellite markers with a coverage of 63.5 cM on bovine chromosome 6 were selected, and 26 sire families with 2,260 daughters were analyzed for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting 5 milk production traits in a Chinese Holstein population. In the analyses across 26 families and within the largest significant families with a one-QTL model fitted, a QTL near BMS470 was detected that affected fat yield at the 5% experiment-wide significance level. When a 2-QTL model was fitted in the across-family analysis, it was found that there might exist 2 QTL affecting the 3 yield traits, although the exact or empirical thresholds for the significance testing were unknown. In all analyses, the results for milk yield and protein yield were generally consistent, which might have resulted from the same genetic background for milk and protein yield.
