Abstract Diabetes mellitus (DM) disease can affect process of apoptosis by
increasing oxidative stress, nevertheless exercise and crocin can improve apoptosis; therefore present study aimed to investigate the effect of continued training
with crocin on apoptosis markers in liver tissue of diabetic rats. In this experimental study 32 diabetic rats based on fasting glucose divided into four groups of
eight rats including: 1) sham, 2) training, 3) crocin, and 4) training with crocin
also for investigate the effect of DM induction on apoptosis markers, eight healthy
rats assigned in healthy control group. During eight weeks groups 2 and 4 ran

Abstract To achieve the image registration/fusion and perfect the quality of the
integration, with dual modality contrast agent (DMCA), a novel multi-scale representation registration method between ultrasound imaging (US) and magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) is presented in the paper, and how DMCA influence
on registration accuracy is chiefly discussed. Owing to US’s intense speckle noise,
it is a tremendous challenge to register US with any other modality images. How
to improve the algorithms for US processing has become the bottleneck, and in
the short term it is difficult to have a breakthrough. In that case, DMCA is
employed in both US… More >

Abstract Swimming, as a sport beneficial to body and mind, also has a place in
international sports. For swimmers and coaches, it is always the most important to
improve the propulsion and reduce the resistance during swimming. This paper
briefly introduced the resistance of human body in swimming, described the
dynamic resistance of human body in arm stroke, and then introduced the principle of micro disturbance method which was used for measuring the dynamic resistance in swimming. Finally, ten swimmers from school team and ten beginners
were tested for the dynamic resistance in freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke
when they swam with… More >

Abstract In order to improve the level of athletes, modern scientific and technological means can be used to understand the characteristics and rules of movement. This study mainly analyzed the whip leg technique of Sanda athletes.
Taking ten athletes as an example, the kinematics and surface electromyography
(sEMG) data of them were measured, calculated and sorted out when they were
doing the action of round kick. The results showed that the movement completion
time of the first-level athletes was shorter, 0.34 ± 0.33 s. In the stage of turning hip
and hitting, the angle of hip joint increased significantly. In the… More >

Abstract As one of the adjuvant treatments for cancer treatment, traditional Chinese medicine treatment has a wide range of cancer treatments, such as preventing
metastasis and relapse, improving the efficacy of radiotherapy and chemotherapy,
reducing the side effects of chemotherapy, improving body function, extending
life and improving the life quality. Geniposide (GEN) is a bioactive substance
extracted from the fruit of gardenia. In recent years, it has attracted attention
due to its anti-tumor effect. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether
GEN could inhibit the proliferation of human breast cancer cells (MCF-7) and
promote its apoptosis. The half-inhibitory concentration (IC50)… More >
