[PMID: 38605911 PMCID: PMC11004104 DOI: 10.1007/s43657-023-00122-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2022] [Revised: 07/15/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 04/13/2024]
Abstract
This study aims to introduce the protocol for ultrasonic backscatter measurements of musculoskeletal properties based on a novel ultrasonic backscatter bone diagnostic (UBBD) instrument. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) can be adopted to measure bone mineral density (BMD) in the hip, spine, legs and the whole body. The muscle and fat mass in the legs and the whole body can be also calculated by DXA body composition analysis. Based on the proposed protocol for backscatter measurements by UBBD, ultrasonic backscatter signals can be measured in vivo, deriving three backscatter parameters [apparent integral backscatter (AIB), backscatter signal peak amplitude (BSPA) and the corresponding arrival time (BSPT)]. AIB may provide important diagnostic information about bone properties. BSPA and BSPT may be important indicators of muscle and fat properties. The standardized backscatter measurement protocol of the UBBD instrument may have the potential to evaluate musculoskeletal characteristics, providing help for promoting the application of the backscatter technique in the clinical diagnosis of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), such as osteoporosis and muscular atrophy.

Effect of Nutritional Protein Food on Metabolism and Physical Fitness of Wushu Athletes. J FOOD QUALITY 2022.

Abstract
In order to greatly improve the physical function of martial arts athletes, this topic studies the effect of high-protein food on the physical function of martial arts athletes. Forty-five athletes in martial arts events took 5 g of high-protein food every day, 6 times a week for 4weeks, and the left and right forearm, calcaneus bone mineral density, and venous blood was drawn to detect bone metabolism and biochemical indicators related to physical function. The experimental results showed that the bone mineral density of the right calcaneus of male martial arts athletes increased significantly after taking high-protein food, and the bone mineral density of left and right forearms and calcaneus of female martial arts athletes increased significantly. After taking high-protein food, the serum calcium and phosphorus of female athletes and the serum calcium of male athletes were significantly increased. Sex decreased, female athletes significantly decreased serum creatine kinase, and male athletes significantly increased IgM. It can be seen that taking high-protein food for 4 weeks has a certain improvement effect on the bone mineral density of female athletes’ forearm and calcaneus, but has little effect on the bone mineral density of male athletes’ forearm and calcaneus. It can be concluded that high-protein food has no adverse effect on athletes’ bone metabolism, blood biochemical indexes, and immune globulin, and can better maintain the physical function level of martial arts athletes.
