Objective To investigate the change in heat shock protein 70(HSP7O) in the brain tissue of fetal and newborn rats after prenatal hypoxic adaptation and the possible mechanism of the protective effect. Methods Twenty-two 22d pregnant Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: GroupⅠ(hypoxic adaptation group) and group Ⅱ(control group). The animals in group Ⅰ were placed in a tightly closed hypoxic adaptation chamber, of which the oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations were monitored. The pregnant rats were taken out and exposed to fresh air for 5 mm when the 02 % in the chamber was reduced to 15 %, then the pregnant rats were placed back in the chamber and the above process was repeated once. The animals were then left for their natural labor. In control group the pregnant rats underwent the same process but the chamber was not tightly closed(O2 %= 21 %). Prenatal rats were delivered by cesarean section at lb. 3h, 8h, 24h, 48h, 72h, 120h and 168h after hypoxic adaptation and decapitated and brain was removed. Seven newborn rats from each group were decapitated and brain was removed for determination of HSP70 expression with immunohistochimical technique. Results No HSP7O expression was observed in the brain tissue of normal prenatal and newborn rats. HSP70 was observed in the different regions of hippocampus and cortex from 8h to 168h after hypoxic adaptation. Strongest HSP70 expression was observed in hippocampus CAl . Conclusions HSP70 plays a role in the formation of prenatal hypoxic adaptation.

Objective To investigate the curative effects of selected proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) patterns and techniques on shoulder subluxation soon after strokd. Methods Forty-one stroke patients with shoulder subluxation were randomly divided into a treatment group(n=22) and a control group (n=19). The patients in the treatment group receiveed the selected PNF techniques daily for 4 weeks, while the patients in the control group were treated with their previous therapeutic protocol. The shortest distance from the lower border of the acromion to the nearest point of the humeral head(AHH) was measured. Brunnstron grading was used to evaluate motor function in the affected upper linb, and a visual analogue scale (VAS) to assess subLuxation. Shoulder pain before and after treatment was also assessd. Results There was no significant difference in general condition between the patients in the two groups before treatment. In the treatment group, a significant improvement in AHH distance of the affected shoulder was observed after 4 weeks. Shoulder subluxation waw cured in 13 patients, with AHH distance ＜0.75 cm after 4 weeks of treatment. Conclusion The PNF technique applied was effective for the early treatment of subluxation after stroke. Motor function in the affected upper limb could be improved significantly and pain alleviated.
