Results: Combined scalp and body acupuncture can obtain significantly better effects than body acupuncture alone in relieving spasticity and improving the patients' motor function and ADL (P＜0.01). Conclusion: Combined scalp and body acupuncture has a distinct advantage in relieving spasticity and can improve the patients' motor function and ADL.

Objective To investigate the application value of sperm nucleoprotein immaturity and sperm DNA damage detection in in vitro fertilization(IVF).Methods From Mar.2015 to Feb.2016,routine sperm analysis,sperm nucleoprotein immaturity and sperm DNA damage detection were performed in 102 patients with infertility,and the correlation between these parameters were analyzed.Results Sperm DNA fragmentation rate was negatively correlated with IVF optimal embryos rate and sperm viability(P<0.05),while was not correlated with IVF fertility rate(P>0.05).Sperm nucleoprotein immaturity rate was not correlated with IVF optimal embryos rate and fertility rate(P>0.05),while was negatively correlated with sperm concentration(P<0.05).Conclusion Sperm DNA fragmentation rate could be closely correlated with IVF optimal embryos rate,which might be with prediction value in IVF treatment.

Objective To determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome ( MS) in women who had gone through natural menopause, and to provide basic data for developing effective prevention and intervention of metabolic syndrome in Taixing area Jiangsu province. Methods A cluster sample of natural postmenopausal women aged 45 to 64 years were sampled and assessed by questionnaires, physical measurements, and biochemical tests; and analyzed according to the International Diabetes Federation ( IDF, 2005) diagnostic criteria for MS. Results The crude prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 35. 25% and the standardized prevalence rate was 31. 47% after age being adjusted. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was increased with age ( P < 0. 01). The constituent ratio of the combinations of 3, 4, and 5 components in MS was 21. 45% , 10. 73% , and 3. 07% , respectively. Conclusion The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome among older women after menopause is high and increasing with aging. Public education should be strengthened to improve the quality of life in postmenopausal women and prevention and intervention should be adopted earlier as well.

Objective To explore the relevant factors of diabetic retinopathy(DR).Methods 400 patients with type 2 diabetes were selected,and the relevant factors with DR of type 2 diabetes were analyzed.Results The incidence of DR in type 2 diabetes was 49.0％.In type 2 diabetes when diabetes duration＞15 years,the incidence of DR was 84.7％,duration＜5-year incidence rate was 30.0％ respectively,there were significant differences(P＜0.05).Incidence rate in lower blood glucose group and poor glycemic control group were 38.1％ and 68.5％ respectively,and there was statistically difference(P＜0.05),and in normal blood pressure and well control group,the incidence rates were 44.1％ and 41.2％,which were significantly better than 80.0％ of poorly controlled hypertension group.Conclusion Duration of diabetes,glycemic control level,blood pressure,exercise,and regular schedule were related factors of DR.The most important thing of DR treatment and prevention was to control blood glucose.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to develop and preliminarily evaluate the reliability and validity of the Symptom-Management Self-Efficacy ScaleeBreast Cancer (SMSES-BC) related to chemotherapy. METHODS: The study included three stages. This paper presents the results of stage 2 and stage 3. In total, 34 items in the SMSES-BC were found during stage 1 from qualitative findings, a literature review, and expert suggestions; the 34 items were used for the psychometric properties test. Test-retest reliability and Cronbach alpha were assessed in the first sample, which included 45 participants for the pilot test (stage 2). The second sample, which included 152 patients, was used to assess the construct validity and concurrent validity (stage 3). RESULTS: The pilot test results revealed a test-retest reliability of .73 (p < .001) and Cronbach alpha coefficient of .96 for the total scale. Three factors (managing chemotherapy-related symptoms, acquiring problem solving, and managing emotional and interpersonal disturbances) were identified from exploratory factor analysis. Correlation coefficient r was .40 (p < .001), which supported the association between SMSES-BC and the General Self-Efficacy Scale for concurrent validity. CONCLUSIONS: The study results demonstrate acceptable reliability and validity for the SMSES-BC that was developed for measuring symptom-management self-efficacy related to chemotherapy for patients with breast cancer. This study suggests further research to validate the construct of the SMSES-BC.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in the liver tissue of rats with bile duct ligation (BDL)-induced hepatic fibrosis and evaluate the inhibitory effects of perindopril and losartan on TLR4 expression.

METHODSMale Wistar Rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group (n=6), BDL group, perindopril treatment group (2 mg/kg) and losartan treatment group (50 mg/kg) (n=12). Perindopril and losartan groups were further divided into two subgroups for corresponding treatments by gastric lavage once daily for 14 and 30 days. The protein level of TLR4 in the liver tissue was examined by Western blotting.

RESULTSIn 14-day BDL group, the protein level of TLR4 significantly increased to 6.53∓1.11 folds of that in the sham group (P<0.05), and was lowered significantly to 1.71∓0.41 folds and 0.95∓0.38 folds following perindopril and losartan treatments for 14 days. TLR4 expression significantly increased to 6.51∓0.87 folds and 5.64∓0.87 folds of that of the sham group in perindopril and losartan groups after the 30-day treatments (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONTLR4 expression is up-regulated in the liver of rats with BDL-induced hepatic fibrosis, and can be lowered by perindopril and losartan treatmemts for 14 days.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the possible gene mutation and its different sites that leads to hearing loss in a consanguineous marriage pedigree. METHOD: Blood samples from a Changchun pedigree were obtained with informed consent. Their genomic DNA were extracted from peripheral blood and PCR was performed. Nine of hot spot mutations in four most common deafness pathologic gene were detected with the DNA microarray, including GJB2, GJB3, PDS and mtDNA 12S RNA gene. At the same time, the results were confirmed with the traditional methods of sequencing. RESULT: GJB2 gene of 235 delC and 299-300 delAT compound heterozygous mutation was found in propositus. His father was 299-300 delAT homozygous mutation and mother was 235 delC homozygous mutation. In the relatives on the paternal side, the affected patients all were 299-300 delAT homozygous mutation and normal hearing member was 299-300 delAT heterozygous carrier. This GJB2 mutation come from grandparents of consanguineous marriage. CONCLUSION GJB2 gene mutation played on an important role in this deafness family. It is essential approach for genetic diagnosis of non - syndromic sensorineural hearing loss.
