[PMID: 38694003 PMCID: PMC11060768 DOI: 10.1589/jpts.36.294] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024] Open
Abstract
[Purpose] To determine the optimal Tuina rolling manipulation parameters for improving peripheral blood circulation and to observe the duration of these effects. [Participants and Methods] A total of 162 healthy males and 20 males with coronary heart disease were recruited, with a mean age of 29.5 ± 6.4 years. The change in blood flow was used as the observation index, and the best combination of parameters was selected using a cyclic orthogonal experiment. We observed changes in rolling manipulation across different time periods and groups. [Results] There were significant interactions between pressure, frequency and duration in the rolling manipulation. The combination mode of 4 kg, 120 repetitions/min and 10 min is the most effective to improve the average blood flow increase rate of popliteal artery. At 15 minutes after manipulation, different degrees of significant increase were observed, but 20 minutes after manipulation, the average blood flow rate returned to the premanipulation level. There was no difference in blood flow rate between healthy males and coronary heart disease patients. [Conclusion] An effective dynamic model of rolling manipulation was constructed. These results contradicted the idea that more pressure and longer continuous manipulation led to stronger effects. The effect of rolling manipulation on improving peripheral circulation can be maintained for 20 minutes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Massage is widely used in exercise-induced skeletal muscle damage (EIMD). It has been proven that massage can improve the morphology and function of damaged skeletal muscle in multiple ways. However, whether massage can protect skeletal muscles from injury during long-term heavy-duty exercise has not yet been determined. METHODS In this study, a rat model of overuse injury was established by eccentric running for 4 weeks, and pressing at constant pressure and frequency and massage were used as intervention methods to explore whether massage could protect skeletal muscle from injury through upregulating integrin and the basement membrane laminin. RESULTS The results showed that compared with the model group, the ultrastructure of skeletal muscle in the massage group was relatively complete and clear, and the maximum isotonic and tetanic contraction forces were significantly increased (P < 0.01). In addition, in the massage group, β1 integrin expression was significantly increased, p-FAK protein expression was decreased, and the co-localization of β1 integrin and the basement membrane laminin 2 was significantly increased (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Our study shows that during long-term heavy-duty exercise, massage can enhance the cell adhesion function mediated by integrin β1 and laminin 2 to protect skeletal muscle from injury and prevent the occurrence of overuse injury.

Abstract
About half the U.S. adult population suffers from chronic neuromusculoskeletal pain. While its evaluation and treatment are widely addressed by therapies using soft tissue manipulation (STM), their efficacy is based upon clinician judgment. Robust biomarkers are needed to quantify the effects of STM on patient outcomes. Among noninvasive methods to quantify the mechanics of myofascial tissue, most are limited to small (<10 mm2), localized regions of interest. In contrast, we develop an approach to optically simultaneously measure a larger (~100 cm2) field of deformation at the skin surface. Biomarkers based on skin lateral mobility are derived to infer distinctions in myofascial tissue stiffness. In specific, three cameras track ink speckles whose fields of deformation and stretch are resolved with digital image correlation. Their ability to differentiate bilateral distinctions of the cervicothoracic region is evaluated with four participants, as a licensed clinician performs STM. The results indicate that the optically derived surface biomarkers can differentiate bilateral differences in skin mobility, with trend directions within a participant similar to measurements with an instrumented force probe. These findings preliminarily suggest skin surface measurements are capable of inferring underlying myofascial tissue stiffness, although further confirmation will require a larger, more diverse group of participants.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle is a plastic tissue that regenerates ad integrum after injury and adapts to raise mechanical loading/contractile activity by increasing its mass and/or myofiber size, a phenomenon commonly refers to as skeletal muscle hypertrophy. Both muscle regeneration and hypertrophy rely on the interactions between muscle stem cells and their neighborhood, which include inflammatory cells, and particularly macrophages. This review first summarizes the role of macrophages in muscle regeneration in various animal models of injury and in response to exercise-induced muscle damage in humans. Then, the potential contribution of macrophages to skeletal muscle hypertrophy is discussed on the basis of both animal and human experiments. We also present a brief comparative analysis of the role of macrophages during muscle regeneration versus hypertrophy. Finally, we summarize the current knowledge on the impact of different immunomodulatory strategies, such as heat therapy, cooling, massage, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and resolvins, on skeletal muscle regeneration and their potential impact on muscle hypertrophy.

Clinical Effect of Abdominal Massage Therapy on Blood Glucose and Intestinal Microbiota in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:2286598. [PMID: 35965680 PMCID: PMC9365616 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2286598] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2022] [Revised: 07/12/2022] [Accepted: 07/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the clinical effects of abdominal massage on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its influence on the intestinal microflora. We conducted a randomized, controlled clinical trial. A total of 60 patients with T2DM, who met the inclusion criteria, were randomly allocated to the control group, the routine massage group, and the abdominal massage group. The control group received health education and maintained their hypoglycemic drug treatment plan. The routine massage group and the abdominal massage group received different massage interventions. In addition to glucose and lipid metabolism indicators, we quantitatively analyzed the gut microbiota to assess the effects of massage on the intestinal microflora of patients with T2DM. Compared with the control group, the abdominal massage improved levels of glycated hemoglobin, total cholesterol, Enterobacter, and Bifidobacteria with significant differences (P = 0.02, P = 0.03, P = 0.03, and P = 0.03). The comparison within group showed that the levels of the four bacterial genera in the abdominal massage group revealed significant differences before and after treatment (P = 0.006, P < 0.001, P < 0.001, and P = 0.002). The comparison between the routine massage group and the abdominal massage group was not significantly different in all levels of test indices. The abdominal massage group regulated levels of Enterobacter and Lactobacilli to a greater extent than the routine massage group. Additionally, abdominal massage decreased Enterococcus levels. The results of this study showed that abdominal massage has clinical advantages over routine massage. Specifically, this intervention may correct microflora disturbances to a certain extent.

Mechanotherapy Reprograms Aged Muscle Stromal Cells to Remodel the Extracellular Matrix during Recovery from Disuse. FUNCTION 2022; 3:zqac015. [PMID: 35434632 PMCID: PMC9009398 DOI: 10.1093/function/zqac015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2022] [Revised: 03/02/2022] [Accepted: 03/08/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Aging is accompanied by reduced remodeling of skeletal muscle extracellular matrix (ECM), which is exacerbated during recovery following periods of disuse atrophy. Mechanotherapy has been shown to promote ECM remodeling through immunomodulation in adult muscle recovery, but not during the aged recovery from disuse. In order to determine if mechanotherapy promotes ECM remodeling in aged muscle, we performed single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of all mononucleated cells in adult and aged rat gastrocnemius muscle recovering from disuse, with (REM) and without mechanotherapy (RE). We show that fibroadipogenic progenitor cells (FAPs) in aged RE muscle are highly enriched in chemotaxis genes (Csf1), but absent in ECM remodeling genes compared to adult RE muscle (Col1a1). Receptor-ligand (RL) network analysis of all mononucleated cell populations in aged RE muscle identified chemotaxis-enriched gene expression in numerous stromal cell populations (FAPs, endothelial cells, pericytes), despite reduced enrichment of genes related to phagocytic activity in myeloid cell populations (macrophages, monocytes, antigen presenting cells). Following mechanotherapy, aged REM mononuclear cell gene expression resembled adult RE muscle as evidenced by RL network analyses and KEGG pathway activity scoring. To validate our transcriptional findings, ECM turnover was measured in an independent cohort of animals using in vivo isotope tracing of intramuscular collagen and histological scoring of the ECM, which confirmed mechanotherapy-mediated ECM remodeling in aged RE muscle. Our results highlight age-related cellular mechanisms underpinning the impairment to complete recovery from disuse, and also promote mechanotherapy as an intervention to enhance ECM turnover in aged muscle recovering from disuse.
