Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2007;13(3):291-291
Objective To observe the effect of gait training under the analyzing with computer-aided gait analysis system on the hemiplegia after stroke.Methods 100 stroke patients with walk disturbance were randomly divided into observe group (n=50) and control group (n=50).All patients' gaits in two groups were analyzed with computer-aided gait analysis system before and after training.Both groups were treated with common drugs.The cases in observe group were trained under the result of computer-aided gait analysis system.The control group was trained without the instruction of computer-aided gait analysis.ResultsAfter 3-month training,the gaits of observe group improved better than that of the control group (P<0.05).ConclusionThe gait training guided with the computer-aided gait analysis system is more effective on the recovery of hemiplegic gait.
2.Progress on aberrant methylation of INK4a/ARF and ASPP genes in tumor
Basic & Clinical Medicine 2010;30(1):100-102
Many tumorigenesis in human are closely linked to the functional loss of P53. The tumor-suppressive functions of P53 are abrogated by mutations, but in 50% of all tumors it remains wild type. In these cases, loss of P53 tumor-suppressive function mainly results from the abnormal methylation of 5' CpG islands of tumor suppressor genes such as INK4a, ARF and ASPP. Restoring to normal methylation state of these genes might provide a new strategy for tumor therapy.

Objective To discuss the clinical value of the "three-step" diagnostic routine in the diagnosis of cervical high-grade lesions. Method The women with the abnormal thinprep cytology test (TCT) underwent colposcopy and biopsy,the pathobiology result was the diagnostic standard. The sensitivity and specificity of the cervical high-grade lesions was calculated. Results The identify rate of the cervical high-grade lesions from the abnormal TCT was 22.3% (340/1524), the sensitivity was 27.1% (92/340), the specificity was 97.5% (1154/1184). The sensitivity of colposcopy was 47.9% (163/340), the specificity of colposcopy was 96.4% (1141/1184). Conclusion TCT with high sensitivity is used for preliminary screening, the colposcopic examination is used to pinpoint and evaluate the lesions,the detection rate and accuracy of cervical high-grade lesions can be improved.

Objective To summarize the experimence of nonmyeloablative allogeneic peripheral blood cell transplantation in the treatment of chronic leukemia. Methods Seven patients, including 6 cases of chronic myeloid leukemia (in chronic phase), one of chronic lymphoid leukemia (in third stage), with HLA-identical siblings donor received allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation after a nonmyeloablative conditioning. Results All of them were engrafted with donor cells (4 with full of donor cells grafted, 3 with mixed chimerism) and recovered hematopoiesis (WBC recovered to more than 0.5 ?10 9/L during postoperative 9 day to 21 day and platelet recovered to more than 30?10 9/L during postoperative 11 day to 28 day). One of them developed a GVHD of degree IV. One of them developed aGVHD of degree I. Conclusion This procedure is much safe, effective and of less complications than the myeloablative condioning regimens and may represent another new approach in the management of patients with chronic leukemia.

AIM: To investigate the chemotaxis mechanisms of polymerphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) under the stimulation of LPS and its regulation by polydatin (PD). METHODS: Chemotactic chamber assay was used to investigate the regulatory role of formyl peptide receptor like-1 (FPRL1) in the chemotaxis of PMNs in response to LPS and PD. RESULTS: LPS increased the secretion of PMN chemotactic factor and up-regulated the function of formyl peptide receptor like-1. PD did not obviously affect the chemotactic factor secretion in normal PMN and the function of formyl peptide receptor like-1, but it significantly reduced the rise of chemotactic factor excretion in PMNs caused by LPS stimulation and PMNs transfected with formyl peptide receptor like-1. CONCLUSION: FPRL1 may mediate LPS-induced PMN chemotaxis, and PD regulates PMN chemotaxis by down-regulating the secretion of chemokine and the function of FPRL1 and may play a crucial role in the treatment of inflammation.

Aim To observe the effect of polydatin(PD) on the activities of ?-AR in cardiomyocytes under the stimulation of LPS. Methods Cardiac myocytes were isolated and cultured from neonatal rats. Radioligand binding assay and flow cytometry were used to detect the function of ?-AR. Results In control group, the density of ?-AR (B max) was 4.14?1.41 fmol?(1?105 cells) -1 and ?-AR affinity (K d) was (4.02?0.59) nmol?L -1. In LPS group, ?-AR density was down-regulated 〔B max=1.78?0.12 fmol?(1?105 cells) -1〕 and the affinity decreased (K d=23.88?2.34 nmol?L -1). In LPS+PD group, ?-AR B max was recovered to 3.37?0.36 fmol?(1?105 cells) -1 and the affinity increased (K d=3.44?0.44 nmol?L -1). In PD group, ?-AR functions had no significant difference with normal group 〔B max=2.76?0.32 fmol?(1?105 cells) -1 and K d=4.63?1.54 nmol?L -1〕. The ?-AR amount measured by flow cytometry showed the same change tendency as the radioligand binding assay. Conclusion ?-AR activities may be down-regulated during the pathological process of LPS treatment. PD could reverse the effects of LPS by up-regulating ?-adrenoreceptors.

Objective To investigate the effects of ZEB1 (Zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1) gene knockdown on proliferation, cell cycle and apoptosis of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADSCs).Methods Primary mesenchymal stem cells were obtained from human adipose tissue by collagenase digestion and identified by immunological phenotype and differentiation potential of osteogenic and adipogenic lineages .The siRNA was trans-fected into hADSCs by lipofectamine 2000 .The expression of ZEB 1 and key proliferation , cell cycle and apoptosis-related genes were detected by real-time PCR and Western blot at mRNA and protein level respectively .The cell proliferation capacity was assessed by MTS .The apoptosis and cell cycle of hADSCs were evaluated by flow cytome-try.Results The ZEB1 expression at mRNA and protein level was significantly decreased in si-ZEB1 transfection cells as compared to transfection with si-NC.Inhibition of ZEB1 decreased the cell proliferation ability , and signifi-cantly inhibited the expression of cell proliferation related genes, including CCND1, MKI67, MYC and PCNA.After transfection with si-ZEB1 , the percentage of cells in G1 phase increased from 50.17% to 58.94%, and S phase and G2 phase decreased by 6.16% and 2.07% separately.Meanwhile, the apoptosis rate increased by 10.2%, the expression of apoptosis related genes TP53 and BAX was up-regulated , and the expression of anti-ap-optotic genes MCL1 and BCL2 was down-regulated in si-ZEB1 transfection cells as compared to transfection with si-NC.Conclusions ZEB1 may play an important role in promoting hADSCs proliferation , cell cycle progression and inhibit their apoptosis .

Drug resistance is the most important obstacle in the treatment of cancer.People can know more about the mechanisms of drug resistance by study of cancer stem cells,and then identify new therapeutic targets and to develope better anticancer strategies.If we regard cancer stem cells as the therapeutic targets we can selectively kill cancer stem cells without harming normal ones,so overcome the drug resistance and avoid cancer relapse or metastasis.
