Objective To observe the effects of velcade on inflammatory reaction and cell apoptosis after ischemia-reperfusion injury, and to explore the neuroprotective mechanism of velcade.Methods The 15 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group, physiological saline control group and velcade-treated group (n= 5, each). The model of temporary middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was applied and reperfused after 2 hours. Immediately after the reperfusion, all rats were performed intraperitoneal injection with velcade 0. 2 mg/kg in velcadetreated group, and with the same volume of physiological saline in control group. After 24 hours, the rats were decapitated in all groups. The apoptosis cells were found by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) and the expressions of nuclear factor-κBp65 (NF-κBp65) and interleukinh-1β (IL-1β) were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results The immunologically positive cells of NF-κBp65, IL-1β and apoptosis cells were occasionally found in shamoperated group [(1.21 ± 0. 16)/400 power, (11.56 ± 0. 99)/400 power and (2. 88 ± 0. 27)/400 power], while a lot of immunologically positive cells of NF-κBp65, IL-1β and apoptosis cells were found in velcade-treated group and control group. The control with compared group, these cells were significantly more in the velcade-treated group [(56.28± 1.95)/400 power vs. (29. 76±2.53)/400 power, (47. 64±2.06)/400 power vs. (29.6±1. 61)/400 power and (51. 05±4. 23)/400 power vs.(33.44±2.06)/400 power, all P＜0. 05]. Conclusions The velcade could decrease the expressions of the NF-κBp65 and IL-1β and diminish the neuronal apoptosis. The neuroprotective mechanism of velcade may lie in decreasing apoptosis through inhibiting inflammation.

Objective: To investigate the effect of combined hypoxia and high fat diet (HFD) on endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)/nitric oxide (NO) of myocardium in experimental rats with its possible mechanisms.
Methods: A total of 60 male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, n=20 in each group. Control group, the rats were fed by normal diet with normal oxygen condition. Hypoxia group, the rats were fed by normal diet with simulated 5000m altitude oxygen condition. Combined hypoxia and HFD (H+HFD) group, the rats were fed by HFD and simulated 5000m altitude oxygen condition. All animals were treated for 4 weeks and peripheral blood and myocardium specimen were collected. Hemoglobin was examined by automatic blood cell analyzer, plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) was measured by TBA method, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was detected by WST-1 method, mRNA and protein expressions of eNOS were examined by real time PCR and Western blot analysis respectively, the myocardium nitrates and nitrites (NOx) was measured by nitrate reductase method.
Results: Compared with Control group, Hypoxia group and H+HFD group had increased mRNA and protein expressions of eNOS, H+HFD group had lower NOx levels than the other 2 groups P<0.05. Compared with Hypoxia group, H+HFD group showed obviously increased total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and decreased SOD activity, diseased MDA level P<0.05.
Conclusion: Upon hypoxia alone, H+HFD may further reduce NOx level of myocardium, it implies aggravated chronic hypoxia impairment, which might be related to dyslipidemia and lack of anti-oxidative ability in experimental rats.

Objective To supply a scientific basis for standardizing the normal reference value of forced vital capacity (FVC) of Chinese younger women. Methods We studied the relationship between the normal reference value of 21767 samples of FVC of younger women and eight geographical factors in 157 areas in China. Results It was found that the correlation between geographical factors and the normal reference value of FVC of younger women was quite significant (F=5.884, P=0.000). By adopting the method of mathematical regression analysis, one regression equation was inferred: =3.146+0.00006919X1+0.01315X4-0.006966X6+0.09524X8±0.254. In the above equation, is the normal reference value of younger women' FVC (L); X1 is the altitude (m); X4 is the annual mean air temperature (℃); X6 is the annual mean relative humidity (%); X8 is the annual mean wind speed (m/s); 0.254 is the value of the residual standard deviation. Conclusion If geographical values are obtained in a certain area, the normal reference value of FVC of younger women in this area can be obtained by using the regression equation. Furthermore, according to the geographical factors, China can be divided into eight regions: Northeast China Region, North China Region, Shanxi-Shaanxi-Inner Mongolia Region, middle and lower reaches of the Yangzte River Region, Southeast China Region, Northwest China Region, Southwest China Region, and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Region.

The 34 cases in the treatment group were treated with allicin injection through Murphy drip for a course of 10 days with nitroglycerin group as control. Results demonstrated that the total effective rate for symptoms and ECG were 82% and 62% respectively for the treatment group. It also markedly lowered the level of plasmal endothelin, and that of blood sugar in diabetics'. Adverst effects included local pain at the injection site and headache, the incidence of which were 18% and 6% respectively. This therapy is a satisfactory one for stubborn angina pectors.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of neuromuscular control training on frozen shoulder. MethodsFrom February to August, 2021, 34 patients with first idiopathic frozen shoulder from the outpatients department of Rehabilitation, Beijing Tongren Hospital were randomly assigned into control group (n = 17) and experimental group (n = 17). Both groups received routine rehabilitation training, and the experimental group received neuromuscular control training in addition, one time a day, five days a week, for six weeks. The shoulder joint function was evaluated by Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score before and after training. ResultsAfter training, all the sub-item scores and total score of JOA improved in both groups (|t| > 14.835, |Z| > 2.070, P < 0.05), and the JOA sub-item scores of pain, ADL, ROM and total score were higher in the experimental group than in the control group (Z = -2.191, t > 2.060, P < 0.05). ConclusionNeuromuscular control training could improve the shoulder function of patients with frozen shoulder more effectively.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of whole body vibration training on postural stability in patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) using meta-analysis. MethodsRandomized controlled trials about whole body vibration training on patients with CAI in relation to postural stability were retrieved from PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale, CNKI and WanFang data from inception to November, 2022. Reference lists of included studies were also traced to supplement the relevant literature. Two researchers independently searched the literature, and extracted relevant data. The PEDro scale was used to assess the quality, and the Cochrane Handbook was used to assess the risk of bias. The meta-analysis was conducted using Review Manager 5.3. And Stata 15.0 was used to conduct the Egger's test to assess publication bias. ResultsTwelve randomized controlled trials involving 440 individuals were included. Compared with the other exercises or no exercise, whole body vibration training could improve the center of pressure-area (MD = -0.70, 95% CI -0.97 to -0.43, P < 0.001) and the Star Excursion Balance Test in the direction of anterior (MD = 6.16, 95% CI 3.88 to 8.44, P < 0.001), posteromedial (MD = 6.22, 95% CI 3.68 to 8.76, P < 0.001), posterolateral (MD = 6.68, 95% CI 4.28 to 9.08, P < 0.001), anteromedial (MD = 8.78, 95% CI 6.71 to 10.85, P < 0.001), medial (MD = 4.16, 95% CI 1.46 to 6.86, P = 0.002), posterior (MD = 6.69, 95% CI 3.81 to 9.58, P < 0.001), lateral (MD =12.37, 95% CI 8.09 to 16.65, P < 0.001) and anterolateral (MD = 5.29, 95% CI 1.44 to 9.13, P = 0.007). However, there was no significant difference in the overall stability index (MD = 0.02, 95% CI -0.05 to 0.09, P = 0.643) and hop-test (MD = 6.24, 95% CI -8.80 to 21.28, P = 0.416) between whole body vibration training and other exercises or no exercise. ConclusionWhole body vibration training can improve the range of all directions of the Star Excursion Balance Test in individuals with CAI. However, more studies are needed to determine the improvement of center of pressure-area.

The morphology of the alveolar bone at the maxillary anterior teeth in periodontitis patients was evaluated by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to investigate the distribution of alveolar defects and provide guidance for clinical practice. Ninety periodontitis patients and 30 periodontally healthy individuals were selected to determine the morphology of the alveolar bone at the maxillary anterior teeth according to the degree of bone loss, tooth type, sex and age. The differences in the dimensions between periodontitis patients and healthy individuals were compared, and the distribution of alveolar bone defects was analyzed. A classification system was established regarding the sagittal positions and angulations of the teeth. The buccal residual bone was thicker and the lingual bone was thinner in the periodontitis patients than in the periodontally healthy individuals, and there were differences between the different tooth types, sexes and age subgroups. The buccal undercut was close to the alveolar ridge, while fenestration was reduced and the apical bone height was higher in periodontitis patients than in periodontally healthy individuals. The apical bone height increased with the aggravation of bone loss and age. The proportions of different sagittal positions changed with the aggravation of bone loss. Moreover, the teeth moved more buccally regarding the positions of the maxillary anterior teeth. The morphology of the alveolar bone at the maxillary anterior teeth differed between periodontitis patients and healthy individuals, and the differences were related to the degree of bone loss, tooth type, sex and age.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical effect of core muscle motor control training on postpartum diastasis recti abdominis. MethodsFrom January, 2021 to January, 2022, 30 outpatients with postpartum diastasis recti abdominis were randomly divided into control group (n = 15) and experimental group (n = 15). Manipulative therapy and breathing training were performed simultaneously in both groups. Besides, the control group received conventional core strength training, and the experimental group received core muscle motor control training, for four weeks. Their distance of diastasis recti abdominis, abdominal circumference and waist circumference were compared before and after treatment. ResultsAfter treatment, the distance of diastasis recti abdominis, abdominal circumference and waist circumference reduced in both groups (Z = 3.408, t > 5.927, P < 0.05). The reduction value of diastasis recti abdominis distance was more in the experimental group than in the control group (t = 2.328, P < 0.05). ConclusionCore muscle motor control training can effectively relieve postpartum diastasis recti abdominis, and the effect is better than conventional core strength training.

Objective : To investigate the changes of α2-macroglobulin in different stages of radiotherapy in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and to explore its feasibility as a marker of serum markers reflecting radiotherapy injury. Methods : We collected the blood samples of 23 cases of newly diagnosed patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma before the simple radiotherapy, the 10, 20, 30 and 33 times after simple radiotherapy, detected the α2- macroglobulin levels. The difference among the five stages was analysed by paired t-test using SPSS17.0 software package. Results : The serum level of α2- macroglobulin elevated with the increase of number of radiotherapy. After 10 times’ radiotherapy, the serum α2-MG concentration in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma was significantly higher than that before radiotherapy (12.04 ± 5.72 vs. 10.81 ± 5.38 U/L), the difference was statistically significant (t=4.818, P < 0.05). After 20 times’ radiotherapy, the serum α2-MG concentration in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma was significantly higher than that before radiotherapy (12.26 ± 5.77 vs. 10.81 ± 5.38 U/L), and the difference was statistically significant (t=5.237, P < 0.001). After 30 times’ radiotherapy, the serum α2-MG concentration in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma was significantly higher than that before radiotherapy (12.91 ± 5.55 vs. 10.81 ± 5.38 U/L), the difference was statistically significant (t=6.076, P < 0.05). At the end of radiotherapy, the serum α2-MG concentration in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients was significantly (13.43 ± 6.05 vs. 10.81 ± 5.38 U/L) higher than that before radiotherapy (t=5.189, P < 0.05). Conclusion The serum level of α2- macroglobulin changes with the radiotherapy, so it can be a serum marker reflecting the damage of maxilla induced by ionizing radiation.
