Objective To explore influence of norm-setting three-stage rehabilitation training on hemiplegic stroke patients with movement and cognitive dysfunction. Methods A prospective randomized controlled study and stepwise linear regression analysis was carried out to investigate the early variation factors, which affected the integrated functional recovery of stroke patients. According to variation factors we established our norm-setting three-stage rehabilitation training program. 200 patients were randomly selected, according to the cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage classification, and then randomly divided into the rehabilitation group and the control group with 100 patients in each group. All patients accepted general neurology routine nursing. The rehabilitation group was given an extra norm-setting three-stage rehabilitation training. The improvement of motor and cognitive function were observed. Results The early variation factors of integrated functional outcome were treatment programs, CNFD score, age, diabetes, SFMA score, smoking and the intensity of labor within six months since stroke onset. Movement and cognitive function of the rehabilitation group significantly improved than the control group as well as upon admission on the first, 3rd and 6th months since stroke onset. Conclusions The norm-setting three-stage rehabilitation training obviously promotes the improvement of motor and cognitive function at all stages.

Ku is a heterodimeric protein which is composed of Ku70 and Ku80.DNA dependent protein kinase is composed of Ku and DNA dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs).DNA double strands break is the main method that radiation kill tumor cell,which will restraint DNA repair,and induce cell apoptosis.Ku protein is the key point in the repair of DNA.Blocking Ku protein will increase the radiosensitivity of tumor cell.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy for early-stage cervical adenosquamous carcinoma and adenocarcinoma.Methods A total of 62 patients with cervical adenosquamous carcinoma,149 patients with cervical adenocarcinoma,and 2687 patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma,all of whom were in stage Ⅰ B-Ⅱ A and were treated from 2006 to 2012,were enrolled,and some of them received postoperative pelvic radiotherapy ± para-aortic extended field radiation ±afterloading radiotherapy.The chemotherapy regimen consisting of DDP,TP,and FP was given to these patients.The chi-square test was used for comparison of general clinical data,the Kaplan-Meier method was used for calculating survival rates,and the log-rank test was used for survival difference analysis.Results Cervical adenosquamous carcinoma and adenocarcinoma had no significant differences in clinicopathological features (P=0.107-0.639).The high-risk patients with adenocarcinoma had a higher recurrence rate than their low-risk counterparts even after adjuvant radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy (P=0.000).In the patients treated with surgery and radiotherapy,those with adenosquamous carcinoma had the shortest median survival time,followed by those with adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma (P =0.134,0.787);in the patients treated with surgery and concurrent chemoradiotherapy,those with adenocarcinoma had the shortest median survival time,followed by those with adenosquamous carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma (P=0.131,0.643),and the median survival time showed a significant difference between the patients with adenocarcinoma and those with squamous cell carcinoma (P =0.000).In the patients with adenosquamous carcinoma and adenocarcinoma,the patients treated with postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy had higher incidence rates of short-term adverse reactions than those treated with postoperative radiotherapy (P=0.037,0.003),but the incidence rates of long-term adverse reactions showed no difference between the two groups of patients (P=0.861,0.655).In the patients with adenosquamous carcinoma,the patients treated with postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy had a lower rate of distant metastasis (P =0.003) and prolonged median overall survival and disease-free survival (both increased by 17 months) (P=0.811,0.799),as compared with those treated with postoperative radiotherapy,while in the patients with adenocarcinoma,the median overall survival and disease-free survival were reduced by 11 and 9 months,respectively (P=0.330,0.115).Conclusions Compared with postoperative radiotherapy,postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy for early-stage high-risk cervical adenosquamous carcinoma can reduce the rate of distance metastasis.Compared with radiotherapy,postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy for adenosquamous carcinoma and adenocarcinoma cannot improve survival time.

Objective To evaluate the biological effect of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) on the proliferation and multi-directional differentiation of stem cells from rat apical papilla(SCAP).Methods SCAP was extracted by combining enzyme digestion method with tissue block method.The cells were divided into control group(TNF-α 0 ng/mL) and experimental group(TNF-α 5,10,20,50 ng/mL).The ability of proliferation of SCAP was measured by MTT method.The ability of osteogenic/dentinogenic differentiation of SCAP was measured by alizarin red staining and quantitative real-time PCR.The ability of adipogenic of SCAP was measured by oil red O staining.The expression of vascular related genes of SCAP was measured by quantitative real-time PCR.Results SCAP was consistent with the characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells and possessed the ability of multi-directional differentiation.The MTT results showed that experimental group promoted the proliferation of SCAP in comparison with the control group.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05),and 10 ng/mL was the optimum concentration.The results of alizarin red staining showed that with the increase of the concentration of TNF-α,the mineralized nodules in the experimental group gradually became smaller,and the number of the formation decreased gradually.The results of quantitative real-time PCR showed that the expression of OC,DMP-1 and DSPP in the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group at 3 and 7 days,in which the expression of OC was statistically significant different(P<0.05);at 14 days,the expression of OC,DMP-1 in the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).The result of Oil red O staining showed that with the increase of the concentration of TNF-α,the lipid droplets formation in the experimental group gradually decreased.The result of quantitative real-time PCR showed that the expression of ANGPT1,VEGFA,PECAM-1 in the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion TNF-α might promote the proliferation and inhibit the multi-directional differentiation of SCAP.

Objective To evaluate the clinical diagnostic significance of clinical laboratory indexes of anti-CCP,rheumatoid factor (RF),C reactive protein(CRP)and erythrocyte sedimentation rate(SR)in rheumatoid arthritis.Methods Anti-CCP,RF and CRP were quantitatively tested in 90 patients confirmed as rheumatoid arthritis(RA)and 93 patients with non-rheumatoid arthritis(non-RA)diseases by the electrochemiluminescence immunoassay(ECLIA),immunization rate scattering turbidimetry,etc.T test results were performed the statistical and comprehensive analysis by using the ROC curves.Results The levels of anti-CCP and RF had statistical differences between the RA group and the non-RA group(P <0.05 ),while there was no statistically significant differ-ences in the levels of CRP and SR(P >0.05 ).The areas under ROC curves(AUC)of anti-CCP,RF,CRP and SR were 94.0%, 84.0%,51.7% and 56.5% respectively;the sensitivity of anti-CCP and RF was 90.0% and 74.4% respectively,while the specifici-ty was 94.6% and 86% respectively;the Youden indexes were 84.6%and 60.4% respectively;the diagnostic sensitivity of CRP was only 52.2% and the diagnostic specificity of SR was only 50.5%.Conclusion Anti-CCP and RF have the good diagnostic value for RA,moreover the diagnostic performance of anti-CCP is better than RF;CRP and SR have the poor diagnostic preformance,the combination of above indexes has more clinical significance for diagnosing RA.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of idiopathic chronic colonic pseudo-obstruction(ICCPO). MethodsIn this study 69 patients admitted for “constipation” were finally found falling into one of the 4 groups: 11 cases of outlet obstructive constipation, 16 cases of slow transit constipation, 26 cases of mixed type, and 16 of ICCPO. ResultsThe main symptoms of these 16 ICCPO cases were intractable constipation, compared with that in other entities ICCPO tends to affect patients at younger age, with shorter clinical course, and often needs surgical intervention due to intractable bowel obstruction, usually total colectomy. ConclusionsICCPO, STC and mixed constipation are different clinical entities. The differentiation of ICCPO from other entities is sometimes very difficult especially when patients are suffering from acute onset of bowel obstruction.

Objective To explore the safety and feasibility of single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy without using titanium-clips. Methods Data of 1016 patients(group A) undergoing single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy without using titanium-clips were compared to that of 874 patients(group B)undergoing two-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy without using titanium-clips by t test and chi square test for operating time,operative hemorrhage,the length of postoperative hospital stay and postoperative pain.Results In group A,1001 cases were successfully operated on with single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy,with conversion to classic four-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy in 15 cases,while 874 cases in group B were operated on with two-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy.There were no bile leakage,biliary tract injury or death in both groups.There were no difference in operating time[(34.5 ±5.2) min vs (32.0±7.4)min,t=0.063,P=0.526],the length of postoperative hospital stay[(3.1±0.8)d vs(3.2±0.7)d,t=1.073,P=0.326]and operative hemorrhage[(56.5±17.8)ml vs (55.2±15.9)ml,t=0.812,P=0.425](P>0.05) between the two groups,but the postoperative pain was less severe in Group A than that in group B (P=0.000<0.05). Conclusions The single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy is feasible,safe,less traumatic and more cosmetic.

Objective To prepare the Elderly Functional Constipation(FC) Health Education Scale, and verify its reliability and validity. Methods The Elderly FC Health Education Scale was prepared by qualitative interviews, literature review, and Delphi method. The elderly patients who were over 60 years old and at Chinese PLA 181st Hospital were recruited by the purposive sampling method from January 2013 to August 2015.The diagnostic criteria of RomanⅢwas used to diagnose FC, the data of preliminary investigation and large sample test was used to form the formal scale, and its reliability and validity were further verified. Results The Elderly FC Health Education Scale was compiled with 6 dimensions and 28 items, and the Cronbach alpha coefficient which was the internal consistency reliability of the 6 factor was 0.965; the correlation coefficient analysis of equality reliability Kendall tau-b rank and various index variables score were positive correlation significantly. Both item level content validity index and scale level content validity index of the content validity were as a result of 1. The structure validity of the cumulated variance contribution ratio of the 6 factors were 60.15%. All factor loading coefficients between the items were more than 0.5, which indicated the fitting was good.

BACKGROUND:The periodontal ligament stem cels can promote periodontal tissue regeneration, providing a new way for the treatment of periodontitis. OBJECTIVE:To observe the inflammatory microenvironment effects on the biological properties of periodontal ligament stem cels. METHODS: Periodontal ligament stem cels from healthy controls and patients with periodontitis were primarily cultured by tissue digestion method, purified using limited dilution method, and identified through detection of CD146 and STRO-1. Then, passage 3 cels were taken and denoted as normal control and inflammation groups folowed by osteogenic induction. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Purified cels from two sources both expressed STRO-1 and CD146. Periodontal ligament stem cels in the inflammation group showed higher multiplication capacity, but the osteogenesis ability was lower compared with the normal control group. The expressions of Runx2 mRNA and Osterix mRNA were dropped significantly after the stimulus of tumor necrosis factor-α (P < 0.05), but the interleukin-1β and interleukin-6 did not have a significant impact. Tumor necrosis factor-α at 0.1 and 1 μg/L had no significant effects on the expression of Runx2 mRNA, but the expression of Runx2 mRNA was decreased significantly after treatment with 10 μg/L tumor necrosis factor-α (P< 0.05). It is confirmed that the molecular signaling mechanism inside the periodontal ligament stem cels is changed under inflammatory microenvironment, so that the differentiation capacity of cels from the inflammatory sources is lowered. Moreover, tumor necrosis factor-α is one of the key factors and its optimalconcentration is 10 μg/L.
