Objective To develop a new visual feedback postural adjusting ability assessing system, and to study its application value. Methods Pressure sensor was used to determine the changes of the body weight center by tracing the pressure variation of the soles and heels, then eight target points in different directions were added into the software interface to enable the subject move his body weight center to the target point intentionally, finally the system was evaluated by loading on back.Results Program design was performed for the testing system. It's proved that posture adjusting ability might decrease with 20% load on back or the body leaning backwards. Conclusion The newly developed visual feedback postural adjusting ability testing system can be used to research standing balance function.

Objective To analyze the growth and development condition of the children with cerebral palsy,and to investigate the influence of puberty on their adult height.Methods 56 children with cerebral palsy were selected as research subjects.34 healthy children were selected as control group.Their height and weight were measured,the development condition of their sexual character was checked,and then standard deviation of height and weight,height age and bone age were calculated,adult height and target height were predicted and analyzed.Results The standard deviation of height and weight in cerebral palsy group was (-1.29 ± 1.39) and (-0.77 ±1.20) respectively,which was lower than that of the normal control group[(0.40 ±0.95),(0.38 ± 1.01)] (t =-6.270,-4.6 7 6,all P ＜ 0.0 5).In preadolescent cerebral palsy group,the chronobiological age was bigger than their height age and bone age,the difference was significant (t =6.381,7.939,all P ＜ 0.05),but there was no significant difference between height age and bone age (P ＞ 0.05),there existed no significant difference between predicted adult height and target height(P ＞ 0.05).In adolescem cerebral palsy group,the chronobiological age and bone age were larger than their height age,which indicated significant difference (t =3.438,-3.759,all P ＜ 0.05),but there was no significant difference between the chronobiological age and bone age (P ＞ 0.05),the predicted adult height was lower than target height,the difference was significant (t =-5.204,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The growth and development of children with cerebral palsy would usually fall behind the normal children,but showed similarity in terms of starting age and process of puberty.After puberty,their bone age would increase dramatically,their predicted adult height would fall behind target height distinctly.

Objective To study the iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) situation in Wenzhou City during 1995-2014.Method According to National IDD Surveillance Project,IDD surveillance had been consecutively carried out during the past 20 years,which consisted of goiter rate in 8-10 years old children,iodized salt and urinary iodine levels.Results The goiter rate of 8-10 years old children was decreased from the highest of 31.09％ (2 190/7 043) in 1995 to the lowest of 2.28％ (77/3 378) in 2014;the highest level of median urinary iodine was 214.78 μg/L,and the lowest level was 74.48 μg/L,and which was increased from 74.48 μg/L in 1995 to 187.00 μg/L in 1996,and then had been maintained at the appropriate level recommended by World Health Organiation (WHO),except that in 1998,2003,2004 and 2006.The qualified rate of iodized salt was increased from 54.95％ (1 471/2 677) in 1996 to 95.52％ (2 548/2 754) in 1999,but decreased to 62.75％ (768/1 224) in 2003,however it was fluctuated from 78.61％ (2 503/3 184) to 92.48％ (2 989/3 232) from 2004 to 2013,and it was 90.43％ in 2014 (2 983/3 300).Conclusions The comprehensive measures for controlling IDD,with universal salt iodization,has been gradually achieved remarkable effect in Wenzhou City,but the non-iodization salt existing in the market is still a problem,and people have misunderstandings about iodization salt.Iodine supplementation had better be conducted according to local conditions and based on scientific policy.

Objective To investigate the influence of different treatments for tubal pregnancy on ovarian reserve function by transvaginal color Doppler ultrasonography.Methods One hundred and twentyfour cases of tubal pregnancy were divided into three groups according to the treatment,group A with 45 cases under the salpingectomy,group B with 36 cases under the laparoscopic conservative surgery for retaining oviduct,group C with 43 cases taken by Methotrexate.On the day of a spontaneous cycle,all the cases' antral follicles,the ovarian volume,peak systolic velocity (PSV),resistance index (RI),pulsatility index(PI) were measured by transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound.Results The antral follicles,varian volume and PSV of diseased side in group A were lower than those of the other side(P ＜0.05).The antral follicles,varian volume and PSV of diseased side in group A were lower than those of other groups (P ＜0.001).The PI and RI of diseased side in group A were higher than those of the unaffected side.The PI and RI of two sides in group B and C were not significantly different(P ＞0.05).Conclusions Salpingectomy affects the ovarian reserve function.Methotrexate and conservative surgery could not reduce the ovarion reserve.

Objective:To explore the role of static posturography in the assessment of fatigue due to flight tasks.Methods:Thirtymale college students were asked to perform simulated flight tasks consecutively forfour hours.Meanwhile their statie posturography and tasks performance would be repeatedly measured during the task-load at end of every hour.Based on the changed significantly parameters,the static balance index would be built by principle component analysis.Then its correlation with task-load level would be further analyzed by curve estimation.Results:Static postural control declined significantly under effect of simulated flight tasks.With task load sustaining,static balance index increased significantly and correlated linearly with duration of task load (R2=0.949).Besides,there was quadratic relationship between the change of multi-tasks performance and duration of task load (R2=0.968).And correlation of multi-tasks performance with static standing balance level also had been proved to be quadratic (R2=0.976).Conclusions:Static posturography correlated linearly with flight task-load level,which could reflect fatigue level caused by task load.

Objective To evaluate the effect of isoflurane on the apoptosis of SH-SYSY cells transfected with APPsw gene and the role of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) recepters.Methods The SH-SYSY ceils transfected with APPsw gene were seeded in culture flasks with the density of 1.2 × 104/cm2.The cells were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =6 each):control group (group C),IP3 receptor antagonist group (group Ⅹ),isoflurane group (group Ⅰ) and isoflurane + IP3 receptor antagonist group (group Ⅰ + Ⅹ).After the cells were cultured for 24 h and attached to the wall,the cells were cultured routinely in group C,and Xestospongin C 100 nmol/L (IP3 receptor antagonist) was added to DMEM culture medium in groups X and Ⅰ + X,and 30 min later the cells were exposed to 1.2 ％ sevoflurane for 8 h in groups Ⅰ and Ⅰ + X.The cells were collected for examination of the ultrastructure and for determination of cell apoptosis,intracellular free calcium ion concentration [Ca2 +] i (by flow cytometry) and expression of IP3 receptor protein (by Western blot).The apoptosis rate was calculated.Results Compared with group C,there was no significant change in the apoptosis rate,[Ca2 +]i or IP3 receptor protein expression in group Ⅹ (P ＞ 0.05),while the cell apoptosis rate and [Ca2 +] i were significantly increased and IP3 receptor protein expression was up-regulated in groups I and Ⅰ + Ⅹ (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).Compared with group Ⅰ,cell apoptosis rate and [Ca2+]i were significantly decreased and IP3 receptor protein expression was down-regulated in group Ⅰ + Ⅹ (P ＜ 0.01).The pathological changes of the cells happened in groups Ⅰ and Ⅰ + Ⅹ,and the pathological changes were severer in group Ⅰ than in group Ⅰ + Ⅹ.Conclusion Isoflurane can induce apoptosis of SH-SY5Y cells transfected with APPsw gene through increasing [Ca2+]i and up-regulating IP3 receptor protein expression.

Objective To investigate the action mechanism of glutamate-mediated signaling pathway in malignant melanoma. Methods WM451LU melanoma cells in log phase were classified into 6 groups, negative control group treated with PBS (100 μl), MK801 group treated with the non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist MK-801 (100 μmol/L), CPCCOEt group treated with non-competitive metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (mGluR1) antagonist CPCCOEt, MAP2 group transfected with adenovirus vector containing microtubule associated protein 2a (Ad-MAP2a), MK801 + MAP2 group treated with MK801 of 100 μmol/L and transfected with Ad-MAP2a, CPCCOEt + MAP2 group treated with CPCCOEt of 10 μmol/L and transfected with Ad-MAP2a. Western blot was performed to detect the expression of an ionotropic glutamate receptor, i.e., N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor type 2A (NMDAR2A) in WM451LU cells transfected with Ad-MAP2a. Scratch motility assay and cell invasion assay were conducted in vitro to detect the changes in migration and invasion ability of WM451LU cells after treated with Ad-MAP2a, MK-801, CPCCOEt alone or in combination. In vivo study was carried out to compare the inhibitory effect of the above treatments on melanoma. Results Western blot revealed a decrease in the expression of NMDAR2A in WM451LU cells after transfected with Ad-MAP2a. The scratch motility assay showed that the number of migrating cells per high power field was 117.04 ± 2.76 in MAP2 group,107.64 ± 6.50 in MK801 group,97.36 ± 4.79 in CPCCOEt group, 43.28 ± 3.02 in MK801 + MAP2 group,30.76 ± 3.97 in CPCCOEt + MAP2 group,significantly different from that in the negative control group (152.3 ± 5.75,all P ＜ 0.01 ). Cell invasion assay demonstrated that the average number of invading cells per high power field in the negative control was significantly higher than that in MAP2 group, MK801 group, CPCCOEt group, MK801+MAP2 group and CPCCOEt + MAP2 group (170.43 ±8.72 vs. 98.26 ± 3.84, 97.22 ± 5.54, 112.23 ± 7.21, 42.89 ± 5.06, 58.25 ± 6.68, P ＜ 0.05, 0.05, 0.05, 0.01and 0.01, respectively).A significant decrease was observed in the average volume of experimental melanoma in mice of MAP2 group, MK801 group, MK801 + MAP2 group, CPCCOEt group and CPCCOEt + MAP2 group compared with the negative control group (224.02 ± 46.19 mm3, 160.33 ± 33.91 mm3, 91.49 ± 21.48 mm3,202.30 ± 52.37 mm3, 111.13 ± 69.81 mm3 vs. 342.70 ± 60.92 mm3, all P ＜ 0.01 ). Conclusions To block the glutamate signaling pathway in vitro can inhibit the invasion and migration of melanoma cells, and to block the pathway in vivo can inhibit the growth of malignant melanoma and alter the morphology of melanoma cells.

After human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were incubated with various concentrations of exenatide for 24,48,and 72 h under the conditions of5.5 and 33 mmol/L glucose,the cell viability was detected by MTF assay.The apoptosis rate of endothelial cells was measured by flow cytometry.Protein kinase B (Akt) phosphorylation,Bcl-2,and Bax protein expression were detected by Western blotting.The results showed that the cell viability was decreased after HUVECs were incubated with high glucose for48 and 72 h (P＜0.01).Treatment with 1,10,and 100 nmol/L exenatide for48 h significantly increased the cell viability in the presence of high glucose,in a dose-dependent manner (P＜0.01).High glucose inhibited Akt phosphorylation and Bcl-2 protein expression,stimulated Bax protein expression,with decreased Bcl-2/Bax ratio and increased apoptosis ratio of cells.After treatment with exenatide,the cell apoptosis reduced,Akt phosphorylation and Bcl-2 protein expression increased,and Bax protein expression decreased,with increased Bcl-2/Bax ratio (P ＜ 0.01).These effects of exenatide on endothelial cell were abrogated by an inhibitor of phosphotylinosital 3 kinase (PI3K) LY294002 (P ＜ 0.01),suggesting that the exenatide may regulate Bcl-2/Bax protein expression and inhibit endothelial cell apoptosis induced by high glucose through PI3k/Akt signal pathway,and thus may protect endothelial cells.

Objective To evaluate the effects of sevoflurane preconditioning on postoperative cognitive dysfunction in aged rats.Methods One hundred and twenty healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 18 months,weighing 400-450 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =40 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),operation group (group O),and sevoflurane preconditioning group (group Sev).In group C,the rats were only anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium and did not undergo operation.In group O,the rats were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium and underwent 30 min of exploratory laparotomy.In group Sev,the rats inhaled 2.4％ sevoflurane for 30 min and then inhaled air for 30 min,and the other procedures were similar to those previously described in group O.At 30 min before operation and on 1st,3rd,5th and 7th days after operation,Morris water maze test was performed to record the escape latency,time of staying at the original platform quadrant and frequency of crossing the original platform.At 30 min before operation and on 1st and 7th days after operation,10 rats in each group were sacrificed and hippocampi were isolated to detect the apoptotic rate and intracellular [Ca2 +] i (using flow cytometry) and the ultrastructure of hippocampal neurons was observed with transmission electron microscope.Results Compared with group C,the escape latency was significantly prolonged,the time of staying at the original platform quadrant was shortened,the frequency of crossing the original platform was decreased,and the apoptotic rate and intracellular [Ca2 +] i were increased after operation in O and Sev groups (P ＜0.05).Compared with group O,the escape latency was significantly shorten,the time of staying at the original platform quadrant was prolonged,the frequency of crossing the original platform was increased,and the apoptotic rate and intracellular [Ca2+]i were decreased after operation in group Sev (P ＜ 0.05).Microscopic examination showed no abnormality in the ultrastructure of hippocampal neurons in group C,and the pathological changes of the ultrastructure of hippocampal neurons were obvious in group O,and were significantly attenuated in group Sev.Conclusion 2.4％ sevoflurane preconditioning can reduce postoperative cognitive dysfunction in aged rats,and regulation of imbalance of calcium homeostasis and reduction of cell apoptosis are involved in the mechanism.
