Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2014;(9):881-884
Objective To investigate the effects of mindfulness behavior training on mood states and quality of life in old patients post fixation for hip fracture. Methods Patients were randomly divided into experiment group (n=30) and control group (n=30). The control group received routine rehabilitation, while the experiment group received mindfulness practice therapy in addition. They were evaluated with Profile of Mood States (POMS), Short Form of Health Survey (SF-36), and Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) before and 5 weeks after treatment. Results There was no difference in the scores of POMS, MAAS and SF-36 before treatment (P>0.05). The scores of MAAS and SF-36, the subscores of tension-anxiety, depression-dejection, fatigue-inertia and vigor-activity of POMS improved more in the experiment group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Mindfulness behavior training can improve the mood state and quality of life of old patients post fixation for hip fracture.

Objective To test the hypothesis that isoflurane-preconditioning (ISO-P) provides added protection of myocardium with hypothermia against ischemia-reperfusion injury through KATP channels. Methods Thirty-two SD rats of both sexes weighing 230-270 g were studied. The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal ketamine 100 mg?kg-1 and heparinized. Chest was opened and heart was immediately removed and perfused in a Langendorff apparatus with oxygenated (95% O2, 5% CO2) Krebs-Hensleit buffer (KHB) for 50 min,followed by 150 min of hypothermic-ischemia (perfusion was suspended and heart was immersed in 17℃ KHB) and 60 min of normothermic reperfusion (heart was again reperfused with 37.7℃ KHB and immersed in 37.7℃ KHB) (I/R). The animals were randomly divided into 4 groups of 8 animals:(l) control group; (2) ISO-P group; (3) ISO-P + GLB group and (4) ISO-P + 5-HD group. The control group received no pretreatment before I/R. In ISO-P group the heart was perfused with KHB gassed with 1% isoflurane for 15 min followed by 15 min wash-out before I/R. In group 3 and 4 the heart was perfused with KHB containing glibenclamide 20?mol?L-1 (group 3) or 5-hydroxydecanoate 150?mol ?L-1 (group 4) in addition to 1% isoflurane before I/R. Cardiac function was measured with a fluid filled latex balloon inserted in left ventricle (LVSP, LVDP, LVEDP, dp/dtmax, dp/dtmin). During hypothermic ischemia left ventricle pressure (LVP),S-time (the interval between the beginning of ischemia to the time point when LVP increased by 1 mm Hg from the baseline pressure) and C-time (the interval between the beginning of ischemia to the time point when LVP was lmmHg below the plateau pressure) were measured. Other criteria included coronary flow (CF),infarct size and creatine kinase.Results (l) S-time and C-time were negatively correlated with infarct size.(2)In ISO-P group (group 2) S-time and C-time were significantly longer during ischemia; LVDP and LVDP x HR were significantly higher during normothermic reperfusion and infarct size was significantly smaller than those in control group (groupl) (P

Objective To explore the effect of liraglutide on pressure?overload chronic heart failure in rats and related mechanisms. Methods Totally 30 SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, heart failure group and liraglutide group. The animals were anaesthetized and a Millar pressure volume conductance catheter SPR?838 ) was inserted through right carotid artery into LV to measure pressure?volume ( P?V ) loop. Body and organ weight were measured. After the end of intervention, the rats were anesthetized, and abdominal aortic blood taken from the upper serum after centrifugation. Kit method was used to measure superoxide dismutase (SOD), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), malondialdehyde ( MDA) . Results Compared with those of the sham operation group, there was a increase in absolute heart weight and (P < 0?05). During the P?V loop analyses, We found that left ventricular (LV) end?systolic volume, end?diastolic volume, end?systolic pressure, end?diastolic pressure and maximum pressure were all remarkablely lower in liraglutide group than HF group in rats ( P < 0?05 ) . Peak rate of pressure rise ( dP/dt max ) , peak rate of pressure decline ( -dP/dt min) , ejection fraction and Maximum Power were increased in liraglutide group comparable by HF group (P < 0?05). SOD activity was significantly increased and BNP concentration was significantly decreased in liraglutide group compared to HF group (P < 0?05). Conclusions These results show that liraglutide protects pressure?overload rat heart from failure possibly through reducing oxidation.
