They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) of lower extremity and 10 m walking speed. Results The scores of FMA and 10 m walking speed improved in both groups after treatment (P<0.05), and improved more in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Ankle intensive training can promote the motor recovery of lower limbs in later stroke patients

ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of tirofiba in the treatment of patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). MethodsA total of 158 patients with acute STEMI were randomly divided into tirofiban group 1 (59 cases, received tirofiban before PCI), tirofiban group 2 (56 cases, received tirofiban when PCI) and control group(43 cases, only received PCI). The coronary reperfusion flow(TIMI grade) of infarct related artery (IRA) after PCI, the resolution of the sum of ST segment elevation(sum STR) at 90 min after the procedure, the changes of myocardial enzyme at 6 h and 12 h afterwards, the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 1 week later, the major adverse cardiac events(MACE) within 30 d, bleeding and thrombocytopenia complications were analyzed and compared among the three groups. ResultsTIMI reperfusion grades in tirofiban group 1[98.3％(58/59 )]and tirofiban group 2[92.9％(52/56)]were higher than those in control group[60.5％(26/43)](P ＜0.05). The resolution of sum STR at 90 min after PCI in tirofiban group 1 [(89.3 ± 6.9)％]and tirofiban group 2[(82.4 + 7.3)％]was higher than that in control group[(65.6 +8.1 )％](P＜ 0.01 ),and there was significant difference between tirofiban group I and tirofiban group 2 (P＜0.05 ). The occurrence of MACE within 30 d was lower in tirofiban group 1 and tirofiban group 2 than that in control group (P＜ 0.05). The level of CK-MB at 6 h and 12 h afterwards was lower in tirofiban group 1 than that in tirofiban group 2,and tirofiban group 2 was lower than control group (P＜ 0.05). LVEF 1 week later in tirofiban group 1[(56.2 + 6.4)％]was higher than that in tirofiban group 2[(51.1 + 4.9)％]and control group[(49.8 + 5.7)％](P ＜ 0.05),but there was no significant difference between tirofiban group 2 and control group (P ＞ 0.05). Although bleeding incidence in tirofiban group 1 and tirofiban group 2 was higher than that in control group, no severe bleeding and thrombocytopenia was observed. Conclusion Tirofiban can safely and effectively reduce the incidence of the ischemic events in the patients with acute STEM1 during preoperative of emergency PCI.

Purpose　To introduce a method to isolate cDNA clones using bacteriophage P1-derived artificial chromosome (PAC) or bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) as probe for hybridization and try to find some novel genes related to hepatocellular carcinoma.　Methods　PAC 579 (D17S926 locus) and BAC 1529 (D17S1529 locus) in the deletion region of chromosome 17p13.3 in human hepatocellular carcinoma were chosen to screening the human liver cDNA library as probe for hybridization. The isolated positive cDNA clones were partially sequenced, then analyzed by computer comparison and Southern blot.　Results　After three cycles of screening, 78 and 8 candidate positive cDNA clones were isolated using PAC 579 and BAC 1529 probes respectively. Further analysis indicated 18 cDNA clones isolated by PAC 579 probe and 5 cDNA isolated by BAC 1529 probe were potential novel genes related to hepatocellular carcinoma.　Conclusions　The isolation of cDNA clones using PAC and BAC probes is effective and practical.

Objective To explore if B lymphocyte stimulator (BlyS) stimulates B lymphocytes from patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU) to produce anti-high affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI) or anti-IgE antibodies.Methods Totally,300 CIU patients and 300 health controls were enrolled in this study.Blood samples were obtained from these subjects.Peripheral blood B lymphocytes were isolated and cultured in vitro for 72 hours.Then,BlyS of various concentrations (2,4,8,16 ng/ml) was added to the culture medium of B lymphocytes followed by another 72-hour culture.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to determine the serum levels of BlyS,anti-FcεRI and anti-IgE antibodies,as well as the supernatant levels of anti-FcεRI and anti-IgE antibodies.The relationship between BlyS and anti-FcεRI and anti-IgE antibody production was assessed.SPSS software version 16.0 was used for statistical analysis.Chi-square test was performed to compare the positivity rate of antibodies,and analysis of variance and least significance difference-t test to assess numerical data.Results The CIU patients showed higher levels of serum BlyS (t =3.04,P ＜ 0.01),anti-FcεRI antibodies (t =3.51,P ＜ 0.01),and anti-IgE antibodies (t =3.29,P ＜ 0.01) compared with the health controls.The serum level of BlyS was positively correlated with that of anti-FcεRI antibodies (r =0.93,P ＜ 0.01) and anti-IgE antibodies (r =0.91,P ＜ 0.01).The levels of anti-FcεRI antibodies and anti-IgE antibodies were significantly increased in the culture supematant of patient-derived B lymphocytes treated with BlyS compared with those remaining untreated (t =3.67,3.56,respectively,both P ＜ 0.01),and the concentration of BlyS was positively correlated with the levels of both anti-FcεRI antibodies and anti-IgE antibodies (r =0.96,0.91,respectively,both P ＜ 0.01).The coincidence rate between the serum and supernatant was 94.76％ and 87.84％ in the detection of anti-FcεRI antibodies and anti-IgE antibodies respectively.Conclusions BlyS level is upregulated in the serum of patients with CIU,which may play an important role in the pathogenesis of CIU by stimulating B lymphocytes to produce anti-FcεRI antibodies or anti-IgE antibodies.

Objective To investigate the relationship between lipid fluctuations of daily diet and insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) with normal fasting lipid profile. Methods One hundred and ninety?eight cases patients with T2DM who were treated in the Endocrinology Department of the General Hospital of Benxi Iron and Steel Group Corporation from October 2012 to September 2014 were selected. Patients were divided into three groups according to fasting and postprandial 4 h triglyceride( TG4 h)
level,the group with normal fasting TG and normal TG4 h with 38 cases,the group with normal fasting TG and rising TG4 h with 78 cases,the group with rising fasting TG and rising TG4 h with 82 cases. The control group was composed of healthy volunteers with 20 cases. The patients followed daily diet habits to eat,blood glucose, insulin and lipid level of fasting and 2 h,4 h after lunch were monitored. Homeostasis model insulin resistance index( HOMA?IR) was used as an index to evaluate insulin resistance,and the correlation analysis was carried out with fasting and dietary intake of postprandial lipid metabolism. Results (1)HbA1c,FPG,HOMA?IR,TG and insulin level in the patients of the group with normal fasting TG and normal TG4 h,the group with normal fasting TG and rising TG4 h,the group with rising fasting TG and rising TG4 h were higher than the control group (HbA1c:(8. 4±1. 9)%,(8. 2±2. 4)%,(7. 8±1. 8)% vs. (4. 3±0. 6)%);FPG:(8. 98±1. 93) mmol/L, (8. 62±1. 33) mmol/L,(8. 28±1. 26) mmol/L vs. (4. 82±0. 63) mmol/L;,HOMA?IR:11. 07±0. 11,6. 98 ±0. 08,3. 83±0. 09 vs. 1. 24±0. 16;TG:0 h TG:(2. 35±1. 85) mmol/L,(1. 60±0. 41) mmol/L,(1. 58±0. 46) mmol/L vs. (0. 82±0. 25) mmol/L;2 h TG:(3. 97±2. 96) mmol/L,(2. 98±1. 49) mmol/L,(1. 83±0. 62) mmol/L vs. (1. 22±0. 31) mmol/L;4 h TG:(4. 24±1. 57) mmol/L,(3. 15±1. 63) mmol/L,(1. 92±0. 53) mmol/L vs. (1. 16±0. 24) mmol/L;insulin(0 h insulin:(26. 51±3. 65) mU/L,(18. 18±6. 24) mU/L,(10. 31 ±2. 38) mU/L vs. (5. 87±1. 62) mU/L;2 h insulin:(59. 15±8. 34) mU/L,(43. 75±9. 83) mU/L,(34. 27 ±1. 61) mU/L vs. (25. 24±1. 98) mU/L;4 h insulin:(51. 22±6. 79) mU/L,(40. 06±7. 51) mU/L,(31. 06 ±1.77) mU/L vs. (13.36±1.37) mU/L;P<0.05). (2)WHR(0.90±0.08 vs.0.72±0.06),HOMA?IR, insulin level of fasting and 2 h,4 h after lunch,TG of 2 h,4 h after lunch in the group with normal fasting TG and rising TG4 h were higher than the group with normal fasting TG and normal TG4 h ( P<0. 05 ) . ( 3 ) BMI ((27. 3±3. 3) kg/m2 vs. (23. 1±1. 5) kg/m2),WHR(0. 96±0. 10 vs. 0. 72±0. 06),HOMA?IR,TG and insulin level of fasting and 2 h,4 h after lunch in the group with rising fasting TG and rising TG4 h were higher than the group with normal fasting TG and normal TG4 h( P<0. 05) . HOMA?IR,TG and insulin level of fasting and 2 h, 4 h after lunch in the group with rising fasting TG and rising TG4 h were higher than the group with normal fasting TG and rising TG4 h( P<0. 05) . ( 4) HOMA?IR was positively correlated with BMI,WHR,and fasting TG levels in the groups with diabetes(r=0. 297,0. 376,0. 326,P<0. 05). HOMA?IR was significantly positively correlated with TG of 2 h,4 h after lunch in the groups with diabetes( r=0. 529,0. 693,P<0. 05) . HOMA?IR was significantly positively correlated with BMI and WHR in the control group(r=0. 617,0. 728,P <0. 05). HOMA?IR was not significantly correlated with fasting and postprandial TG in the control group. Conclusion Postprandial lipid metabolism disorder after daily diet is in some of patients with T2DM with normal fasting lipid profile. Postprandial lipid metabolism disorder after daily diet is significantly positively correlated with insulin resistance in patients with T2DM. Insulin resistance may be one of the pathogenesis of postprandial dyslipidemia in patients with type 2 diabetes.
