Objective To explore the effect of motor imagery on motor recovery in hemiplegic patients after stroke. Methods From May, 2015 to October, 2016, 40 hemiplegic patients after stroke were randomly divided into control group (accepted routine rehabilitation, n=20) and motor imagery group (accepted motor imagery and routine rehabilitation, n=20). They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assess-ment (FMA), modified Barthel Index (MBI) before and six weeks after treatment. Fractional anisotropy (FA) of the focus was measured with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Results The scores of FMA and MBI improved in both groups after treatment (t>5.088, P<0.001), and improved more in the motor imagery group than in the control group (t>2.124, P<0.05). The FA reduced in the focus compared with the same site of unaffected side in both groups before treatment (t>3.892, P<0.01), and there was no significant difference between two groups (t<1.144, P>0.05). FA increased in more patients of the motor imagery group (5/5) than in the control group (2/4). Conclusion Motor imag-ery can promote the recovery of motor function and activities of daily living in stroke patients, and may help the recovery of fibers in white matter.

Objective:To establish a GC method for the determination of phenol and L-menthol in glycerin Zhiyang lotions. Meth-ods:A Zebron ZB-WAX(0. 32 mm × 30. 0 m,0. 50 μm) capillary column was used with an FID detector. The column temperature was 60℃, maintained for 1 min, and then raised to 160℃ at the rate of 8℃·min-1 , and maintained 10 minutes. The inlet tempera-ture was 180℃, the detector temperature was 300℃, and the carrier gas was nitrogen. Results:The linear range of phenol and L-men-thol was 0. 5-10. 0 mg·ml-1(r=0. 999 9) and 0. 25-5. 0 mg·ml-1(r=0. 999 9), respectively. The average recovery of phenol and L-menthol was 99. 01%(RSD=0. 90%,n=9)and 99. 70%(RSD=0. 98%,n=9), respectively. Conclusion: The method is sim-ple, accurate and reliable, and can be used to determine the concentration of phenol and L-menthol in glycerin Zhiyang lotions.

Primary dysmenorrheal is one of the most common diseases in gynecology,which seriously affects the physical and men-tal health of women, therefore, the effective prevention and treatment of primary dysmenorrheal is a problem in medical field. The etiol-ogy of primary dysmenorrheal is very complicated, and in recent years, there are more and more domestic and foreign scholars studying on its pathogenesis and treatment. Modern medicine has some shortcomings in the treatment of dysmenorrheal including side effects and so on. Traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in the treatment of primary dysmenorrheal. Combined with the recent rele-vant reporters, the article reviewed the pathogenesis of primary dysmenorrheal from both traditional Chinese medicine and modern medi-cine aspects, and the research progress in traditional Chinese medicine treatment of primary dysmenorrheal was also reviewed to provide better guidance for the treatment of primary dysmenorrheal.

Objective:To screen the common low-frequency mutation sites in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) by whole exome sequencing (WES), in order to find PBC-related new susceptibility genes.Methods:From January 2000 to December 2017, the clinical data of seven patients with PBC of three PBC families diagnosed at General Hospital of Tianjin Medical University and two healthy controls were collected. The DNA blood samples were extracted and analyzed by WES. SAMtools 1.3 software was used to detect gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and indel sites, and gene mutation sites were screened from known databases of 1000 Genome, ExAC, ESP6500 and Novo-Zhonghua gene database. Pymol V2.3.2 software was performed to simulate the three-dimensional structure of major histocompatibility complex-Ⅱ (MHC-Ⅱ), and the amino acid position corresponding to the common mutation sites among families were observed.Results:The age of first diagnosis of seven PBC patients was (61.2±10.2) years. The results of serum test of seven patients indicated that alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level was (306.9±242.5) U/L, γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) level was (121.7±85.9) U/L, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level was (47.6±33.1) U/L, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level was (55.7±34.1) U/L and immunoglobulin G level was (14.9±3.1) g/L. The antinuclear antibody were all cytoplasmic granule types and anti-mitochondrial antibody were all positive. Five PBC patients developed intra-abdominal lymphadenopathy; two patients had extrahepatic autoimmune diseases and the pathological results of liver biopsy of two patients both showed interface hepatitis and small bile duct lesions. Eighteen SNPs were common in three PBC families, which were located in the gene of OTOA, OBSCN and human leucocyte antigen- DRB1( HLA- DRB1). rs200988634 located in OTOA gene was a common polymorphic locus among the three families. rs746424683, rs545316651, rs553144914, rs533059830 and rs56087721 located in OBSCN caused the changes of nine amino acids of different location. There were 12 SNP variations located in HLA- DRB1 gene, which leaded to the changes of 12 amino acids of different location, among them rs16822698, rs112796209 and rs11554463 mutation induced G154A, Y152C and Y107X amino acid variation of MHC-Ⅱ beta chain, and Y107X amino acid was located in the groove region of MHC-Ⅱ binding with peptide. Conclusions:WES in PBC families is a good strategy to elucidate the candidate deleterious mutation genes OBSCN and OTOA. HLA- DRB1 which is a susceptible gene of PBC may affect MHC-Ⅱ mediated antigen presentation process by the changing amino acid sequence.

Objective:To explore the intervention effect of cognitive-walking dual-task training on executive and walking function in patients with cerebral apoplexy.Methods:A total of 70 stroke patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of Baoding Taihe Rehabilitation Hospital from June 2020 to October 2020 were selected as the study subjects.All 70 hemiplegic patients with stroke were randomly divided into control group ( n=35) and test group ( n=35) by random number table method, and a prospective study was conducted.The control group was given routine walking training, and the test group was given cognitive-walking dual-task training at the same time and frequency as the control group.E-Prime software was used to evaluate the executive function of patients before and 4 weeks after intervention, including three sub-tests of Flanker, 1-back and More-odd shifting, and the reaction time of each test was recorded.The score changes of Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE) and Modified Rankin Scale (MRS) were recorded.The single-task walking time, dual-task walking time and dual-task walking time cost during 10 m Walk Test were calculated.Finally, 33 cases in the experimental group and 31 cases in the control group completed the study.Finally, 33 cases in the experimental group and 31 cases in the control group completed the study. Results:After 4 weeks of intervention, the MMSE scores of the experimental group and the control group were improved compared with those before intervention (the experimental group (26.39±1.90) and (24.42±2.69), t=10.824, P<0.001; the control group (25.45±1.77) and (24.61±2.16), t=7.325, P<0.001), and the experimental group was significantly better than the control group ( t=2.049, P=0.045)). The duration of three tests of executive function in the experimental group and the control group was significantly shorter than that before the intervention (Flanker task: the experimental group (752.38±178.28) ms and (939.42±260.11) ms, t=10.467, P<0.001; the control group (863.40±227.86) ms and (951.67±265.93) ms, t=8.140, P<0.001.1-back task: the experimental group (983.31±314.16) ms and (1 242.10±444.77) ms, t=10.386, P<0.001; the control group (1 186.89±293.80) ms and (1 238.27±305.95) ms, t=9.569, P<0.001.More odd shifting task: the experimental group (1 121.29±260.17) ms and (1 362.32±352.80) ms, t=13.084, P<0.001; the control group (1 255.81±269.41) ms and (1 351.37±287.46) ms, t=8.550, P<0.001), and the experimental group was significantly better than the control group (Flanker task: t=2.198, P=0.032; 1-back task: t=2.691, P=0.009; more odd shifting task: t=2.044, P=0.045). The results of 10 m walking test in the experimental group and the control group were improved compared with those before the intervention (single task walking time: the experimental group (20.71±9.61) s and (26.10±13.88) s, t=6.312, P<0.001; the control group (22.42±9.60) s and (25.62±10.97) s, t=13.009, P<0.001). The duration of dual task walking: the experimental group (22.73±10.28) s and (31.64±16.07) s, t=7.931, P<0.001; the control group (28.30±11.72) s and (31.89±13.65) s, t=9.348, P<0.001.The cost of dual task walking: the experimental group (10.32±6.87)% and (23.26±11.40)%, t=10.602, P<0.001; the control group (27.39±7.38)% and (24.94±7.48)%, t=2.719, P=0.011). The 10 m walking test time of the experimental group was shorter than that of the control group ( t=2.027, P=0.047), and the walking time cost of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group ( t=9.583, P<0.001). Conclusion:Cognitive walking dual task training can improve the walking function of patients, which is more conducive to the recovery of executive function than conventional walking training.

The aim is to provide reference for improv-ing education quality in the course of rehabilitation medicine for the international medical students.

Objective To investigate the change of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in cerebral infarction before and af-ter rehabilitation. Methods Forty-eight patients with first cerebral infarction were enrolled from June, 2014 to August, 2016 in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital. Level of serum VEGF was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) before and six weeks after rehabilitation. The level of serum VEGF of 33 normal subjects was compared with the patients'. Results The level of serum VEGF was higher in the pa-tients group than in the control group before and six weeks after rehabilitation (t>2.540, P<0.05). The level of VEGF was higher in the large area infarction group (>4 cm) than in the small area infarction group (≤4 cm) (t=4.436, P<0.05), and was higher in the short course (less than one month) infarction group than in the long course (more than one month) group (t=2.316, P<0.05). Conclusion VEGF can be main-tained in high level after rehabilitation.

Based on the literatures published from January 1994 to December 2008 on chronic respiratory diseases treated by the therapy of “Dongbing-Xiazhi” (which means treating diseases occurred in winter but treated in summer),the time,region,specific therapies,herbs,and acupoints of these literature were reviewed end analyzed by bibliometric methods to explore its distribution and trends.The research showed that the therapy was effective and widely used in recurrent chronic respiratory diseases.It also demonstrated that such studies as focusing on the scientific design and the mechanism were needed.

Objective To observe the effects of myelotomy on autophagy activation after traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats. Methods 54 adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to sham-operated group (SG, n=18), contusion group (CG, n=18) or myelotomy group (MTG, n=18). The T10 SCI model in rats was induced with a New York University (NYU) impactor and myelotomy was performed 24 hours after SCI. They were evaluated with the BBB score 1, 7, 14 days after injury. The expression of mRNA of Beclin-1 and Bcl-2 were detected with real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The formation of autophagosome was investigated under electronic microscope (EM) 3 days after injury. Results BBB score was more in the MTG than in the CG 7 and 14 days after injury (P<0.05), while the expression of Beclin-1 mRNA was less (P<0.05). The expression of Bcl-2 mRNA was more in the MTG than in the CG 3 and 7 days after injury (P<0.05). The expression of Beclin-1 mRNA was negatively correlated with BBB scores (P< 0.05). The formation of autophagosome was less in the MTG than in the CG. Conclusion Myelotomy can improve the recovery of motor function in rats after acute traumatic SCI, which may associate with neuroprotection mediated by inhibition of autophagy through the Bcl-2 signaling pathway.
