ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of rehabilitation time on the motor function and activities of daily living (ADL) of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.Methods76 patients were randomly divided into the early rehabilitation group (40 cases) and late rehabilitation group (36 cases). The patients of two groups were treated with Bobaths method. The starting times of rehabilitation were 48 h~7 d (early rehabilitation group) and 3~4 weeks (late rehabilitation group) after onset. The therapeutic effect was assessed with Fugl-Meyer Motor Assessment Scale (FMA), modified Barthel index (MBI) and neurological deficit evaluation (ND).ResultsThe scores of the FMA, MBI and ND were not different between two groups before treatment. After one month treatment, the scores of patients in two groups improved significantly, but the early rehabilitation group had a greater improvement compared with the late rehabilitation group. Conclusion Early rehabilitation and late rehabilitation can also facilitate the motor function and ADL of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage recovery, and the therapeutic effect of early rehabilitation is better than late rehabilitation significantly.

Objective To investigate the effect of adenovirus-medicated gene therpy with vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)delivered into the subdermal space to treat compromised skin flap in the rat.Methods Thir- ty sprague-dawley rats weighing 350~400g were used in this study.The rats was randomly divided into three groups of ten rats each.A dorsal flap(8cm?2cm)in full thickness with the pedicale located at the leve of the iliaccrest was designed,each,animal received recipient bed subfascial injections of adenovirus encoding VEGF(Ad-VEGF)or green fluorescent protein(Ad-GFP)as treatment control.Another set of animals(n = 10)received NG was designated as control.The flap were elevated as originally designated and sutured back to its bed.The survival rate of the flap was evaluated on day seven after operation.Results The survival rates of the flap in Ad-VEGF group increased signifi- cantly as compared with those of the Ad-GFP group(P

To study still further the activity of CNTF mutant designed by computer molecular modling,the methods of dissociated cultures of chick dorsal root ganglion、TF-1 prolification and the normal mice'weight loss tests weve used.The results indicated that the mutant protein promoted the survival of dorsal root ganglion、induced TF-1 prolification and made the normal mice lose weight,decrease appetite and reduce fat index.The weight loss effect was dependant with its administration dosage,ED50 was 150.986?g/kg/d.To TF-1,the specific activity reached 2.0?106U/mg against international reference reagent.In a word,CNTF mutant had excel bioactivity.So it provided clues for its development and application.

BackgroundThe influence of glaucoma on the quality of life in patients is of increasing concern for ophthalmologists in recent years. However,some studies demonstrated that different types of questionnaires about quality of life have various disadvantages. Therefore, to accurately and fully assess the influencing factors of quality of life in glaucoma patients is very important. ObjectiveThe present study was to survey the self-reported visionrelated quality of life(QOL) in glaucoma patients by means of utility analysis and to tentatively analyze its influencing factors. Methods Patients with glaucoma were recruited from a single tertiary ophthalmic department. Standard face-to-face interviews were conducted. Utility values of linear rating scale ( RS ) and time trade-off ( TTO ) were calculated to evaluate the self-reported vision-related QOL of the patients. The correlations of the utility values with the patients' general and ophthalmologic characteristics were also analyzed. This survey was approved by the Ethic Committee of Beijing Tongren Hospital. Oral informed consent was obtained from the subjects before the study.ResultsA cross-sectional study was designed. A total of 86 glaucoma patients were enrolled in this study with 62 male and 24 female, with a mean age of 44. 67 years old. The mean utility values measured by RS and TTO were 0. 62± 0. 19 and 0. 77 ± 0. 12, respectively, and no evidential correlation was found between these two values ( r =0. 074, P=0. 499 ). The RS value was associated with daily visual acuity,mean deviation(MD) of visual field and the history of trabeculectomy. Neither daily visual acuity nor MD showed a significant correlation with the TTO value. Age, work status and educational background contributed to higher utility value for the TTO method. After adjusting for age, work status and educational level,patients with visual acuity in the worse-seeing eye better than 0. 3 showed a higher TTO value than those with less than 0. 3. Conclusions Utility analysis possesses the advantages of convenience and sensitivity. RS utility value is easily affected by the Objective visual status and surgery history in glaucomatous patients,which reflects the subjective assessment of patients'visual quality. However, TTO value is primarily associated with age,work status and education level rather than visual function in glaucoma patients,which is therefore subjective assessment of the disease-related quality of life. These Results indicate that visual function impairment is not a determining factor for the QOL of glaucoma patients.

Objective To examine the effect of eating behavior and dietary intake on the sleep quality of college students,and to provide basis for improving students' sleep quality.Methods College students from Hangzhou Normal University were randomly selected and they were investigated from October to November,2014.Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to measure the quality of sleep,and a self-designed questionnaire was used to measure eating behavior and dietary intake.Results A total of 588 college students were investigated.The average score of PSQI was 4.72 ±2.52,and 76 (12.9%) of the respondents have poor sleep quality.Single-factor analyses showed that sleep quality was not associated with gender,BMI,cigarette smoking and academic pressure,but was associated with peer effect,meal regularity,and frequency of fish and poultry intake (P < 0.05).Multi-factor logistic regression showed that frequency of eating-out (OR =3.04,95% CI:1.58-5.84;P =0.001,4 or more than 4 times vs.less than once per week) irregular dinner (OR =1.96,95% CI:1.23-3.40;P =0.017,irregular vs.regular) and less fish intake (OR =2.48,95% CI:1.27-4.85;P =0.01,less than once vs.2-3 times per week) increased the risk of poor sleep quality.Conclusion Eating behavior and dietary intake are closely related to sleep quality of college students and they should concern about meal regularity and nutrition balance.

Objective To explore the effect of aerobic exercise on patients with laryngeal cancer related fatigue status.Methods 56 cases of patients with laryngeal cancer were randomly divided into intervention group and control group, each group was 28 cases. Control group moved by themselves according to the physical condition of patients after discharge; intervention group was held regular movement according to the nurses making the exercise prescription for them, assessed the fatigue status of patients with laryngeal cancer by revised Chinese version of the Piper Fatigue Scale respectively before the intervention in patient (at discharge) and operated after two months.Results The difference of fatigue scores of the two groups before intervention (at discharge) do not reach statistical significance (P>0.05); and the fatigue scores of the two groups after intervention was significantly different (P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusions Aerobic exercise can eliminate or alleviate the patient's fatigue, increase quality of life.
