Objective: To observe the effects of electro-acupuncture on S-100 protein expression of nerve fibers on the regeneration process of transected sciatic nerve of rats, so as to explore the partial mechanism of electro-acupuncture treatment for peripheral nerve injury.Methods: Following rat's sciatic nerve transection, the nerve regeneration chamber model was established, then the rat was given electro-acupuncture stimulation at the frequency of 5 Hz and frequency of 100 Hz, and the immunohistochemical staining method and image analyzing semi-quantitative technique were adopted to determine the percentage of S-100 protein area,hence to observethe effect of electro-acupuncture on the repair process of transected sciatic nerve of rat and the S-100 protein expression. Results: Electro-acupuncture could significantly potentiate the S-100 protein expression of Schwann Cells (SC) in the repair process of transected sciatic nerve. At the 14th week, 17th week and 20th week after operation, the percentages of S-100 protein area were more obviously increased in 5 Hz electro-acupuncture group and 100 Hz electro-acupuncture group than in model group, with significant differences (P＜0.05). Especially, the better effect was obtained in 5 Hz electro-acupuncture group. Judging from the dynamic treatment, it is very vital to be treated early. Conclusion: Electro-acupuncture is an effective method for the treatment of peripheral nerve injury, and its therapeutic effect is related to the improvement of SC proliferation.

Objective To investigate the effects of electro-acupuncture (EA) on remyelination after sciatic nerve was transected in rats, so as to explore the possible mechanism of EA in treatment of peripheral nerve injury. Methods After transection of rat's sciatic nerve, the nerve regeneration chamber was built,then the rats were given EA stimulation at frequencies of 5 Hz and 100 Hz, respectively, and Solochrome Cyanine staining, HE staining of nerve fibers, immunohistochemical staining and semi-quantitative image analysis technique were employed to observe the remyelination of the nerve fibers and S-100 protein expression of Schwann cells. Results EA could significantly promote remyelination of the nerve fibers, elevate S-100 protein expression of Schwann Cells in repairing process of transected sciatic nerve of rats. The therapeutic effect of 5 Hz EA group was better than that of 100 Hz EA group. Conclusion EA is an effective way for the treatment of peripheral nerve injury. It can promote proliferation of Schwann cells and nerve fiber myelination. The therapeutic effects of EA are frequency-depondent.

Objective To explore the relationship between left atrial diameters (LAD) and prothrombotic state in senile patients with hypertension (HT) and atrial fibrillation (AF). Mcthods Totally 105 patients with cssential hypertension were divided into 65 patients with atrial fibrillation and 40 cases without atrial fibrillation,and then patients with atrial fibrillation were subgrouped into paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation groups.30 healthy people without hypertension and atrial fibrillation were used as control group.LAD was determined by M type ultrasound cardiogram.Fibrinogen (Fg),D-Dimer(D-Dimer),von willebrand (vwF) and haematocrit (HCT) were also measured as prothrombotic state and compared among the groups. Results In groups of HT with AF versus HT without AF versus control,LAD[(43.56 ± 6.72) mm vs.(36.28 ± 5.83) mm vs.(31.63±4.32)mm],Fg[(4.24±0.59)g/L vs.(3.09 ±0.49)g/L vs.(2.80± 0.46)g/L],D-Dimer [(0.43±0.13)mg/L vs.(0.28±0.]0)mg/L vs.(0.18±0.08)mg/L],vwF[(290.44±29.02)％ vs.(101.32±21.36)％ vs.(84.15±20.26) ％],HCT[(0.46±±0.07)vs.(0.37±0.05)vs.(0.34±0.03)]were significantly higher in HT patients with atrial fibrillation than those without atrial fibrillation and control ( all P＜ 0.05),and there were differences in LAD and D-Dimet (P＜＜0.05),but not in Fg,vwF and HCT (all P＞0.05) between patients without atrial fibrillation and control.LAD[(46.75±7.32)mm vs.(40.82±6.21)mm],Fg [(4.68±0.65)g/L vs.(3.85±0.53)g/L],D-Dimer [(0.48±0.16)mg/L vs.(0.40±0.12)mg/L],vwF [(384.96±29.75)％ vs.(209.43±28.63)％] and HCT [(0.49±0.08)vs.(0.43±0.06)] in persistent atrial fibrillation group were increased than those in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation group ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Fg ( r =0.683 ),D-Dimer ( r =0.735 ),vwF ( r=0.763) and HCT(r=0.759)were corrclated with LAD (all P＜0.01). Conclusions Increased LADmight he one of the elevated risks of atrial fibrillation and a higher prothrombotic state is increasing with larger LAD in senile hypertension.

BACKGROUND: Therapist-assisted treadmill training is good gait training, but it consumes great physical strength of therapists, and requires many persons. Clinical application was limited. Robot-assisted treadmill training has been paid great attention. OBJECTIVE: To summarize the role of robot in recovery of walking after spinal cord injury (SCI) and its influence on muscle activation patterns and kinematic patterns.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Although there is currently no evidence that robot-assisted gait training improves walking function more than other locomotor training strategies. Several advantages of robotic devices are obvious for applications targeting gait rehabilitation. Robotic devices are passive in nature and focus primarily on repeated movements of the limbs via fixed kinematic trajectories. These types of training abolish the cycle-to-cycle variation in the kinematics and the sensorimotor pathways. They also cannot sensitively monitor important characteristics of the training as therapists do. Therapists need to know the robot devices, understand how to change parameters to continuously challenge the subjects, and are able to assess when the workload is inappropriate for the subject's abilities so that they can maximize voluntary locomotor performance during assisted stepping to augment the recovery of functional walking.

Objective To investigate the clinlic therapeutic result of detenial sigmoid neobladder after radical cystectomy.Methods 20 patients with bladder cancer(18 males and 2 females;age range from 33 to 76 years) were admitted and underwent radical cystectomy and detenial sigmoid neobladder.Results All the 20 patients were followed up for a mean of 18 months(range from 6 to 48 months).The blood Cr and BUN levels were both in the normal range without acidosis in all the cases.Only 1 had unilateral ureteral urine reflux during cystography.3 of the 20 cases were incontinent,but 2 of the 3 cases could control urination by being woken up at night.The capacity of the neobladder was 230 to 500ml with a mean of 330ml and the maximal pressure of the neobladder during filling was 16 to 50cmH_2O.Conclusion As a simple operation the detenial sigmoid neobladder can be performed easily with less complications and more reliable results.This operation may be generally applied in clinical practice.
