The purpose of this paper is to provide parameters of physiological functions in elite athletes of track andfield, swimming, volleyball and gymnasts with reference to criteria for recruitment. Tests were made on 811males and 761 females for 14 physiological indices, including pulse rate, blood pressure and step test. Significant correlations were found between the performance level of track and field and swimming on theone hand and the athletes' vital capacity and Vo_2max on the other. Players of the national women volleyballteam were found to be more responsive in nervous reflexes and possess a lower percentage of body fat and agreater lean body weight than their counterparts on other teams. The gymnasts were found to be inferior incardiopulmonary function, which might be one of their pnysiological characteristics. In most items the subjects'parameters were mean?one SD. It is believed that for better performances an athelet must improve his cardio-pulmonary function.

Objective To investigate the related factors of phlebitis caused by PICC and support effective preventive nursing measures. Methods 163 patients diagnosed as malignant tumor who first used peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) were recruited. Patients were observed for 3 months. According to the diagnostic criterion of infection, 34 patients with phlebitis were divided into the phlebitis group and others were divided into the control group. All patients were investigated for general information survey :sex, age, tumor type, allergic history,location of inserted vein, one-time success rate,activity after catheter, elbow bending,phlebitis occurred time, grade and type. Laboratory markers:WBC,neutrophils,immune parameters, fasting plasma glucose. Trait anxiety inventory (T-AI)was used for assessment of emotional state. Case-control study between groups was carried out. Results The results of univariate analysis showed that location of inserted vein,times of inserting vein,activity of inserted limb,elbow bending,blood sugar level and emotion were associated with phlebitis. Sex, age, tumor type, allergic history, immune function,WBC,neutrophils were not involved with phlebitis. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PICC through basilica vein was the protective factor. Multiple insertions, more activity of inserted limb,durative anxious emotion were the risk factors of phlebitis. Conclusions Different location of vein,times of inserting vein,activity of inserted limb,elbow bending,high blood glucose level and persistent anxious emotion are the risk factors of phlebitis. Taking effective preventive measures before,during, and after PICC can reduce the incidence of phlebitis.

Objective To investigate the effects of autoantibodies (β1-AA) against second extra-cellular loop of the β1-adrenergic receptor (β1-AR-ECⅡ) in sera of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) on proliferation of rat CD4+T lymphocytes.Methods β1-AA in the sera of patients with DCM was purified by affinity chromatography .CD4+T lymphocytes were isolated by immunomagnetic microbeads from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of rats and its positive rate was detected by flow cytometry .CCK-8 meth-od was used to detect the proliferation of CD 4+T lymphocytes and flow cytometry was performed to measure the ratio of CD4+/CD8+T lymphocyte .Results The purity of isolated rat CD 4+T lymphocytes by immu-nomagnetic microbeads reached 97.7%.The proliferation of CD4+T lymphocytes stimulated by CD3/CD28 was inhibited by β1-AA in a concentration-dependent manner .However , IgG antibodies extracted from sera of healthy controls did not suppress lymphocyte proliferation (P>0.05).The suppression effect of β1-AA was inhibited after binding to antigenic peptides corresponding to β1-AR-ECⅡ and was completely blocked by metoprolol, a specific antagonist of β1-adrenergic receptor (β1-AR).In addition,β1-AA had no effects on the ratio of CD4+/CD8+T lymphocyte .Conclusion β1-AA isolated from DCM patients suppresses the pro-liferation of CD4+T lymphocytes through β1-AR pathway , which indicates that β1-AA can directly reduce the number of T lymphocytes and impair the function of T lymphocytes , resulting in immune system disorders and the development of DCM .

Objective: To explore the mechanism of herb-partitioned moxibustion for ulcerative colitis (UC) through observing the colonic mucosal histopathological changes and the expression of nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kB) and peroxisome proliferators-activated receptorγ (PPARγ) mRNA of UC rats. <br> Methods: Male SD rats were randomly divided into a normal group and a model group. UC model was established by general immunological plus local irritation method. After model identification, rats in the model group were randomly divided into a model group, a herb-partitioned moxibustion (HPM) group and a Western medicine (Salicylazosulfapyridine, SASP) group. Rats in the HPM group received treatment at bilateral Tianshu (ST 25) and Dachangshu (BL 25), two cones for each point, once a day for 7 d. SASP group rats were gavaged with SASP. The pathological scores were evaluated according to hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining of colonic tissues. We used light microscopy to observe degree of colonic mucosal damage and the quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR) to detect the expression of NF-κBp65 and PPARγ in colorectal mucosa. <br> Results: Compared with the normal group, histopathological scores were significantly higher in the model group (P<0.05); compared with the model group, the scores were decreased significantly in the HPM group and the SASP group. Compared with the normal group, NF-κBp65 mRNA expression was increased with statistical significance in the model group (P<0.05); compared with the model group, NF-κBp65 mRNA expressions were decreased significantly in the HPM group and the SASP group. Compared with the normal group, PPARγ mRNA expression was increased significantly in the model group (P<0.05); compared with the model group, PPARγ mRNA expressions were decreased significantly in the HPM group and the SASP group. <br> Conclusion: HPM could improve the mucosa damage of UC rats, which is possibly through down-regulating NF-κBp65 to achieve anti-inflammatory effect. Whether decreasing the PPARγ mRNA is possibly involved in preventing precancerosis will need further study.
