Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2013;19(3):280-282
Objective To explore the factors related with osteoporosis in middle-aged men who accepted high education. Methods 306 men were investigated about their bone density, also their behaviors, diet, exercise and so on. Results The incidence of osteoporosis increased with the aging. The Logistic regression showed that smoking (OR=4.61) and alcohol intake (OR=1.11) were the risk factors for osteoporosis,while the milk intake (OR=0.19) and exercise (OR=0.13) were the protective factors. Conclusion The low bone mass and osteoporosis of middle-aged men accepted high education are associated with the age, smoking, alcohol or milk intake and exercise.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of acupuncture plus language function training on the recovery of language function in patients with post-stroke aphasia.MethodNinety patients were divided into an acupuncture-rehabilitation group (intervened by acupuncture plus language function training) of 30 cases, an acupuncture group (intervened by acupuncture alone) of 30 cases, and a control group (intervened by language function training alone) of 30 cases. The Western Aphasia Battery (WAB) was adopted to evaluate the language function, and also taken as criteria for diagnosis and therapeutic efficacy. The aphasia quotient (AQ), and the 4 basic language functions including spontaneous speech, auditory comprehension, repetition and nomination were observed. ResultAfter intervention, AQ, and scores of spontaneous speech, auditory comprehension, repetition and nomination increased significantly in the three groups (P<0.05,P<0.01). there were significant differences in comparing the scores of spontaneous speech, repetition and nomination between the acupuncture-rehabilitation group and the control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in comparing the indexes between the acupuncture group and control group (P>0.05).ConclusionAcupuncture plus language function training can produce a positive effect on patients with post-stroke aphasia, showing therapeutic advantage in improvingspontaneous speech, repetition, and nomination.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of moxibustion plus acupoint autohemotherapy in treating allergic rhinitis due to lung-spleen qi deficiency.MethodTotally 120 eligible subjects were divided by using the random number table into a comprehensive group, a moxibustion group and a Western medication group. The comprehensive group was intervened by moxibustion plus acupoint autohemotherapy, the moxibustion group was by moxibustion,and the Western medication group was by Loratadine tablets. The acupoint autohemotherapy was give twice a week and the rest treatments were given once a day, 7 das a course, for 4 courses in total. A follow-up study was conducted 3 months later. The clinic efficacy was evaluated before and after intervention, as well as in the follow-up study.ResultThe three groups all achieved significant short-term efficacies after intervention, and the comprehensive group was equivalent to the moxibustion group, bothsuperior to the Western medication group(P<0.05). According to the follow-up study, the long-term efficacies of the comprehensive group and moxibustion group were both significantly higher than that of the Western medication group (P<0.01,P<0.05), and the moxibustion group was superior to the comprehensive group in comparing the long-term efficacy (P<0.01).ConclusionMoxibustion plus acupoint autohemotherapy and dry moxibustion both can produce significant short-term and long-term therapeutic efficacies in treating allergic rhinitis due to lung-spleen qi deficiency. The long-term efficacy of moxibustion is higher than that of moxibustion plus acupoint autohemotherapy in treating allergic rhinitis due to lung-spleen qi deficiency. Acupoint autohemotherapy requires strict aseptic operation, which restricts its application in family healthcare. Long-term use of moxibustion can activate yang qi, and thus plays a role in preventing diseases.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical value of the neonatal hearing combined with deafness gene screening.METHODSFrom February 2014 to August 2015, 1933 newborns were included in the study. We analyzed the effects of combined screening of hearing and deafness gene.RESULTSAmong all the 1933 neonates, 71.34% (1379/1933) passed and 28.66% (554/1933) failed the initial hearing screening.The hearing impairment rate was 4.14‰ (8/1933). Genetic screening mutation rate was counted. GJB2 mutation rate was 28.97‰ (56/1933). SLC26A4 mutation rate was 13.97‰ (27/1933). GJB3 mutation rate was 6.21‰ (12/1933). Mitochondrial 12 S rRNA gene mutation rate was 1.03‰ (2/1933). 1 case of 235 delc homozygous mutation did not pass the initial hearing screening and lost to follow-up rescreening. 2 cases of 12 S rRNA 1555A>G homogeneous mutations passed early hearing screening. 8 cases of auditory handicaps were all normal.CONCLUSIONDeafness gene screening can make up for the deficiencies of the universal newborn hearing screening. Joint use of both of them should complement each other and play the biggest role.

Objective To analyze and evaluate the characteristics of enzyme kinetics of CTX-M-14 type extended-spectrum β-lactamase(ESBL) with Pro167 residue substitution. Methods By molecular cloning and PCR techniques, CTX-M-14 gene was directionally cloned into plasmid pET28a( + ) from a clinical E. coli isolate and formed an expression vector to transform competent E. coli BL21 (DE3 ). Prol67 residue substitutions of P167G, P167Q, P167S and P167T were introduced to CTX-M-14 by site-directed muta-genesis based on overlap extension PCR with the former recombinant plasmid as PCR template, respectively.The wild-type CTX-M-14, recombinant CTX-M-14 protein and its variants were expressed and purified, then their steady-state kinetic parameters (Kcat, Km and Kcat/Km ) against β-lactam antibiotics were determined.Results The kinetic parameters of wild-type and recombinant CTX-M-14 had no statistically significant differences (P>0.1). The 1/Km, Kcat and Kcat/Km values of P167S variant against ceftazidime were 16-fold, 2.87-fold and 43.6-fold higher than those of recombinant CTX-M-14, respectively, and the Kcat/Km value of P167S variant against penicillin, ampicillin, cefazolin, cefuroxime, ceftriaxone, cefotaxime decreased( < 0.05). Compared with the kinetic parameters of recombinant CTX-M-14, the kinetic parameters of P167T variant against ceftazidime had no significant change, but the Kcat values of P167Q and P167G variants decreased dramatically(P<0.01). Conclusion There was no difference between the enzyme activities of wild-type and recombinant CTX-M-14. P167S variant could not only promote the enzyme affinity of CTX-M-14 to ceftazidime but also improve the conversion rate of enzyme-substrate complex in the ceftazidime hydrolysis. The comparison of the kinetic parameters of CTX-M-14 and its variants with Pro167 residue substitution showed that the increased activity of CTX-M ESBL variants against ceftazidime could not be simply explained with the enlarged cavity in active site that may be caused by the replacement of Pro167 residue by smaller amino acids.

A set of primers amplified the VP1 gene of foot-and-mouth disease vims (FMDV) was designed and synthesized. A reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique detected the RNA of FMDV was established after selecting the best purification method, reagents and reaction conditions. Samples of fresh milk, lymph node, spinal cord, vesicular skin, milk powder, cotton swab, mouse and meat in daughter-house were detected by RT-PCR, positive rates were41.4% (24/58), 13.33% (2/15), 20% (1/5), 100% (1/1), 100% (1/1), 37.5% (12/32), 100% (2/2) and 10% - 70%, respectively. However, positive rate of cockroach detected by RT-PCR was 0. The results showed that the established FMDV RT-PCR technique provided a more sensitive, specific and reliable method for diagnosis and epizootic study of the foot-and-mouth disease.
