Objective To examine the expression of protein kinase signaling cascade protein kinase B (Akt)-which plays an im-portant role in a number of key biological functions in cellular processes after spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats ,and its effects on SCI induced motor function defects ,and to provide the molecular mechanism for repairing SCI .Methods SCI was produced by extra-dural contusion using modified Allen′s stall with damage energy .The rats were divided into three groups :sham-operated group (Sham) ,interference group (Int) ,and control group (Con) .Using immunostaining studies ,Western blot analyses and real-time qualitative RT-PCR analyses ,we detected the changes of Akt expression at the protein and mRNA level in spinal cord tissues at 1 , 7 ,and 14 d after surgery ,and evaluated the presence and extent of neurological impairment after SCI by the BBB locomotor rating scale .Results The sham operated groups exhibited low expression of the Akt signaling at the protein and mRNA level ,and the ex-pressions increased following SCI .Compared to the animals in the sham operated groups ,prominently elevated level of Akt signaling was detected in the injured spinal cords of SCI group .LY294002 ,an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) that initiates Akt phosphorylation ,prominently inhibited the expression of Akt produced by SCI and the spontaneous recovery of motor function after SCI .Conclusion Activated protein kinase signaling cascade Akt might be the important intervention aspects of involving in neuroprotective and repair process after SCI .

Objective To analyse appearances of contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) of breast local adenosis,and to explore the value of CEUS in the diagnosis of the local adenosis of breast.Methods The data of conventional ultrasound and CEUS of local adenosis of breast in 110 cases confirmed by operation and pathology were analysed.The enhancement patterns,border of the lesion,time-intensity curve were evaluated respectively.Results Totally 151 lesions were detected by conventional ultrasound in 110 cases,61 lesions were diagnosed by conventional ultrasound for adenopathy or adenosis tumor,the diagnosis coincidence rate was 40.4% (61/151).By CEUS,106 lesions were diagnosed as adenopathy or adenosis tumor,the diagnosis coincidence rate was 70.2 % (106/151),higher than that of conventional ultrasound.The features of CEUS include:In contrast perfusion time to peak,103 lesions inhomogeneously enhanced in whole or in part (68.2 %).The enhancement degree of 121 lesions (80.1 %) were moderate enhancement or slightly high enhancement,a few lesions (11.9%,18/151) showed significantly enhanced,and very few lesions (7.9 %,12/151) for low enhancement.In contrast perfusion peak,107 (70.9 %) lesions had less clear boundary,no envelope,and had a certain continuity with the surrounding background breast tissue,in which 5 lesions were showed significantly increased in size by CEUS comparison with conventional ultrasound,and the boundary of 4 lesions was shaped like the burr,no regularity after enhancing.The boundary of 29.1% (44/151) of the lesion was clear.In the lesions with moderate enhancement or slightly high enhancement,the time-intensity curve mainly displayed same washin and same wash out (60/151,39.7 %) and fast washin and fast wash-out (65/151,43.0%).Conclusions CEUS image of focal breast adenosis has certain characteristics.CEUS can provide more evidences in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of breast adenosis,which can help to improve diagnostic confidence.

Objective:
To explore the effect of proprioception combined with core stability training on the static balance ability and dynamic balance ability of college students, and to provide an experimental basis for studying body balance ability and preventing sports injuries.
Methods:
In August 2019, 112 non sports students from Shandong Institute of Physical Education were recruited, and 52 subjects were selected as the intervention group and 60 as the control group by random number table method. The intervention group was given proprioceptive training combined with core stability training, while the control group was given core stability training. The static and dynamic balance abilities of the two groups of subjects before and after training were compared.
Results:
The static balance ability of the intervention group was higher than that before the intervention ( F =2.17, P <0.05) at the 5th and 11th weeks, which were 18.31% and 47.37% higher, respectively. The ability to stand on one foot with eyes closed at the 11th week in the intervention group was higher than that in the control group at the 11th week( t =2.25, P <0.05). After training, the equilibrioception of the intervention group was improved, increasingly improved in the 11th week. And compared with that in intervention group in the 5th and 11th week, the ability was also higher than the balance ability of the intervention group before the intervention( F =2.37, P <0.01), 12.01% and 12.99% higher, respectively.
Conclusion
Proprioception and core stability training can effectively improve the static and dynamic balance ability of college students, and the training effect of proprioceptive training combined with core stability training is better than that of core stability training.
