Objective To explore the effect of robot-assisted gait training on the lower limb motor function and gait ability in patients with hemiplegia after stroke. Methods From January, 2015 to October 2016, 60 patients with hemiplegia after stroke were randomly divided into control group (n=30) and experimental group (n=30). Both groups received conventional rehabilitation, while the experimental group was given robot-assisted gait training and the control group was given artificial assisted gait training, 30 minutes a day, five days a week for eight weeks. They were evaluated with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Limb (FMA-LE), muscle strength of hip flexion (L-FORCE/HIP/Flex, FHF) and knee extension (L-FORCE/KNEE/Ext, FKE), Six Minutes Walking Distance and Ten Meters Walking Time before and after training. Results There was no significant difference in general data and all indexes between two groups before training (P>0.05). The scores of all the indexes improved in the experimental group after training (t>2.274, P<0.05), and all of them were better in the experimental group than in the control group (t>2.095, P<0.05), except FKE. Conclusion Robot-assisted gait training can effectively improve the lower limb motor function and gait ability of patients with hemiplegia after stroke.

Objective The purpose of this study was to provide practical anatomic data for the imaging diagnosis and surgical treatment of the disease of the subphrenic spaces. Methods Sectional anatomy of the subphrenic spaces on the coronal plane were investigated on 30 sets of serial coronal sections of superior abdomen of Chinese adult cadavers and MR imaging of 2 abdomen of cadavers. Results Subphrenic spaces were divided into perihepatic spaces and perisplenic spaces on the coronal plane.The space between the anterior margin of left gastropancreatic fold and the posterior layer of hepatogastric ligament is the only direct communication between the superior and inferior recesses of the lesser sac.Its communicating type is divided into three types on the coronal plane.The right layer of the gastrophrenic ligament is continuous with the posterior layer of the lesser omentum,the left layer of the gastrophrenic ligament is continuous with the right layer of the phrenicosplenic ligament and the posterior layer of the gastrosplenic ligament.Left gastropancreatic fold is continued to the left and right layers of gastrophrenic ligament upward.The bare area of stomach is located between the left and right layers of gastrophrenic ligament,its existing rate is 100%.The bare area of spleen is located among phrenicosplenic ligament,gastrosplenic ligament,splenorenal ligament and splenocoloic ligament.Its the most width exists at the splenorenal ligament.It is divided into the part of the splenic hilus and the splenorenal part.Its maximum is 2 64?1 16 cm,4 16?2 24 cm respectively. Conclusion The coronal plane is dominant for showing left gastropancreatic fold and the communication relationship between superior and inferior recesses of the lesser sac.The superior and inferior recesses of the lesser sac that may communicate with each other is 73 3 percent of all the cases studied

Objective To study the prevalence and associated factors of loneliness in individuals with speech disability.Methods Using multi-stage stratified random cluster sampling method,170 community-residing ver-bally disabled persons were selected and administered with a general information questionnaire,one single -item loneliness self-rating question and social support scale.A total of 204 study questionnaires were distributed to the subjects;170 subjects(mean age:43.1±13.7 years)completed the survey.Results As high as 46.47% (79/170)of these verbally disabled individuals reported to feel lonely often.Females (OR=2.45),unemployment (OR=2.95), first and second degrees of disability (OR=4.35),co-existence of chronic illnesses (OR=6.50)and low utiliza-tion of social support (OR=2.58)were significantly associated with the increased risk of loneliness in persons with speech disability (P =0.002~0.046).Conclusion Loneliness is highly prevalent in individuals with speech disabili-ty.Verbally disabled persons,who are female,unemployed,severely disabled,and chronically ill and have a low use of social support,are the target population of mental health services.

Objective UPLC-MS/MS bio-analysis method was developed for the simultaneous determination ofberberine,naringin,hesperidin,and neohesperidin in plasma of rats.Methods UPLC Acquity BEH C18 (50 rmm × 2.1 mm,1.7 μm) column was used,mobile phases were containing 0.05％ formic acid and 2 mmol/L ammonium formate in water (A)-containing 0.05％ formic acid in acetonitrile (B) as the mobile phase gradient elution;SD rats were randomly divided into oral administration berberine group,Citrus aurantium extract group,and berberine and C.aurantium extract compatibility group.Results UPLC-MS/MS method could be applied to determination of berberine,naringin,hesperidin,and neohesperidin,method validation meets the requirements of biological sample analysis.When rats were administered with berberine and C.aurantium extract compatibility,the plasma concentration of berberine was much more than single dose of berberine group and the bioavailability of berberine was increased.Meanwhile,naringin and neohesperidin can be detected in rat's plasma.Conclusion The bioavailability of flavonoids is significantly improved as well compared to the single dose of C.aurantium extract.This suggests that berberine and C.aurantium extract compatibility has significant drug-drug interaction.

Autophagy refers to a catabolic process,in which the damaged organelles or biological macromolecules, such as protein aggregates, are degraded via lysosome. The completion of autophagy depends on a series of autophagy-related genes (Atgs) and many upstream regulatory molecules. Zinc is an essential trace element, and plays an important role in the process of autophagy as a component of enzymes and structural proteins like zinc transporters or zinc finger protein. The regulation of autophagy is closely associated with the zinc ion homeostasis. In addition, many studies suggest that the protective effects of zinc on cells are likely to be done by autophagy. This review aims to summarize the current research progress and discuss the reciprocal regulation mechanism between zinc and autophagy, which may provide insights into the intricate roles of autophagy in diseases and find novel strategies for treatment and prevention of human diseases.

OBJECTIVE： To study the effects of resveratrol （Res） on cognitive function and SIRT1/NF-κB signaling pathway in neonatal rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. METHODS： SD neonatal rats were randomly divided into sham operation group （normal saline）， model group （normal saline）， Res low-dose and high-dose groups （30， 60 mg/kg）， with 12 rats in each group. Except that sham operation group received sham operation， hypoxic-ischemic brain injury model was established by Rice method in other groups. After modeling， the rats were given relevant medicine intraperitoneally each day， for consecutive 6 weeks. Water maze test was used to analyze spatial learning and memory function of rats in each group. The escape latency after 1， 3 and 6 weeks of administration and the times of crossing platform after 6 weeks of administration were recorded. TTC staining was used to detect cerebral infraction area of rats after 6 weeks of medication. Western blot was used to detect the expression of Bcl-2， Bax， Caspase-3， SIRT1， SIRT1/NF-κB pathway related protein SIRT1 and p-NF-κB in hippocampal CA1 region. RESULTS： Compared with sham operation group， escape latency of rats was prolonged significantly in model group after 1， 3， 6 weeks of medication （P＜0.05）， the times of crossing platform was decreased significantly after 6 weeks of medication （P＜0.05）； the area of cerebral infarction was increased significantly （P＜0.05）； the protein expression of Bax， Caspase-3 and p-NF-κB in hippocampus CA1 region were increased significantly， while the protein expression of Bcl-2 and SIRT1 were decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. Compared with model group， the escape latency of Res low-dose and high-dose groups were shortened significantly after 1， 3， 6 weeks of medication （P＜0.05）， while the times of crossing platform was increased significantly after 6 weeks of medication （P＜0.05）； the area of cerebral infarction was decreased significantly （P＜0.05）， and the protein expression of Bax， Caspase-3 and p-NF-κB protein in hippocampal CA1 area were decreased significantly， while the protein expression of Bcl-2 and SIRT1 were increased significantly （P＜0.05）. The improvement of above indexes in high-dose group were significantly better than low-dose group （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS： Res can improve cognitive dysfunction in neonatal rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain injury， which is related with SIRT1/NF-κB signaling pathway.
