1.Situation and Development of Technology Literacy of Physical Therapist in China
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2009;15(2):199-200
The field of rehabilitation medicine physical therapist (PT) training and education has been relatively weak links in China, how to build a rehabilitation therapist team, we constantly explore and get a greater progress. However, most of the time is still confined to empty the contents of most theoretical level, and some basic steps and the specific contents are lacked. How to stabilize therapists team? How to position therapists? It deserves to pay more attentions.

Translational medicine is a novel concept about combination of basic research and clinical application. The aim of translational medicine is to realize the translation of basic research into clinical practice. microRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding single-stranded RNAs with 21-25 nucleotides in length as newly discovered factors in regulating gene expression. Recently, the key regulatory role of miRNA in the cardiovascular system has been elucidated and amount of remarkable results has been achieved, particularly in the regulation of cardiac arrhythmias. A series of studies demonstrate that miRNAs are involved in the regulation of expression of a variety of proteins associated with cardiac electrical activity, and are the potential targets of occurrence of cardiac arrhythmias and anti-arrhythmic drugs. miRNAs as a therapeutic target regulate the stability of mRNAs of target genes or play an inhibitory role in the translation process. Stability of the corresponding miRNA expression levels in the target organ may be a new approach for the disease therapy. Regarding the dysfunction of miRNA, we employed miRNA re-expression strategy and anti-miRNA strategy to correct target protein function and provide a new entry for the therapy of arrhythmia. With the technology of miRNA mimics and antagomirs, miRNAs are expected to treat various cardiovascular diseases and will provide a fresh impetus to achieve transform medicine.

Objective Using Doppler ultrasound measured in femoral artery flow velocity variation rate method to predict fluid responsiveness.Methods 80 patients were measured femoral artery flow velocity variation rate (△Vpeak)by mastering the ultrasound skills of the attending physician.Passive leg raising test (PLR)stroke vol-ume variation (△SV)was used to analyze the peak value of the femoral artery flow velocity,rate of femoral artery peak velocity of respiratory changes,and the results were compared with results of PICCO monitoring to predict patients with their response to the treatment capacity,to evaluate clinical feasibility.Results Reactive groups in the PLR test before the experiment and hemodynamic changes:PLR test reaction group in before the test and test process, HR,MAP,CAP index changes were not obvious (P >0.05),but ultrasonic detection and PICCO detection showed SV and CO varied significantly (t =15.24,P =0.00;t =13.64,P =0.00),the two kinds of methods to forecast results was consistent.In the absence of the anti should patients in PLR test before the experiment and hemodynamic chan-ges:PLR test unreacted group in before the test and test process,HR,MAP,CAP,SV and CO index change were not obvious (all P >0.05).Conclusion By ultrasonic method for measuring femoral artery flow speed variation rate can exactly evaluate the capacity status of critically ill patients,and effectively predict fluid responsiveness,the prediction results and PICOO monitoring results are highly consistent.It is a safe and efficient prediction method,which is worthy of promotion in clinical intensive observation.

Intensity-modulated radiotherapy planning for nasopharyngeal carcinoma is very complex. The quality of plan is often closely linked to the experience of the treatment planner. In this study, 10 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients at different stages were enrolled. Based on the scripting of Pinnacle 9. 2 treatment planning system, the computer program was used to set the basic parameters and objective parameters of the plans. At last, the nasopharyngeal carcinoma intensity-modulated radiotherapy plans were completed automatically. Then, the automatical and manual intensity-modulated radiotherapy plans were statistically compared and clinically evaluated. The results showed that there were no significant differences between those two kinds of plans with respect to the dosimetry parameters of most targets and organs at risk. The automatical nasopharyngeal carcinoma intensity-modulated radiotherapy plans can meet the requirements of clinical radiotherapy, significantly reduce planning time, and avoid the influence of human factors such as lack of experience to the quality of plan.

Objective To investigate the effects of Triptolide on apoptosis of cultured rat mesangial cells treated by TGF-β1 and the role of Smac in this process. Methods The mesangial cells were pre-treated with different concentrations of Triptolide for 24 hours, then stimulated with TGF-β1 for 24 hours. Apoptotic cells were detected by TUNEL assay. Smac transcription level was determined by Real time-PCR analyses. Smac expression level was assessed using Western blot anal-yses. Localization of Smac was shown by confocal fluorescence microscopy. Results Compared with control group, TGF-β1 inhibited apoptosis and Smac transcription and expression in rat mesangial cells. By contrast, Triptolide promoted mesangial cells apoptosis. In Triptolide groups, Smac mRNA and protein levels were up-regulated. Additionally, in normal and TGF-β1 groups Smac protein was mainly localized in mitochondriawhile in Triptolide groupit was mainly localized in cytoplasm and nucleus with increased fluorescence intensity. Conclusion Triptolide could promote the effect that TGF-β1 inhibited apop-tosis of mesangial cells, through both up-regulation the expression of Smac and stimulating it translocation from mitochon-dria to cytoplasm and nucleus.

Objective To investigate the effect of cognition training on the recovery of balance after stroke. Methods forty-five hemiplegic strokd patents with cognition deficit were revruited and sddigned into an experimental group and a control group according to the results of an assessment with Loewenstein's Occupational Therapy Cognition Assessment battery (LOTCA). The patients in the two groups folloled routine systmatic rehabilitation programs. The patients in the (LOTCA). The patients in the two groups followed routine systmatic rehabilitation programs.The patiena in the experimental group received pertinent cognition training 5 days/week for 6 weeks. LOTCA,Brunel's Balance Assessment (BBA), the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Brunnatrom functional categories were enployed to evaluate the patients before and after treatment with regard to their cognition, balance control and motor function in their lower limbs. Results After treatment, there were statistically significant differences between preand post-treatment BBA and BBS scores in all groups. Average BBA, BBS and LOTCA scores in the experimental group were significantly higher than in the control group. The improvements in BBS, BBA and LOTCA scores in the experimental grou were significantly greater than in control group.
