Objective To investigate the efficacy of progressive resistance exercise for improving the lower limb motor function of hemiplegic stroke patients. Methods Eighty-nine hemiplegic patients were randomly divided into a treatment group (n =46) and a control group ( n = 43 ) . Both groups received routine rehabilitation training, while the treatment group also undertook progressive resistance training. The control group received extra quadriceps femoris training. Before and after the treatment, motor function was evaluated with the Fugl-Meyer lower limb assessment, functional ambulation category (FAC) classification and the modified Barthel index (MBI). Results Before intervention, there were no significant differences between the two groups in any of the assessments. Four weeks later, all the assessment scores obtained with the Fugl-Meyer lower limb assessment, FCA classification and MBI in the treatment group were significantly better than those in the control group. Conclusion Progressive resistance training combined with routine rehabilitation treatment can improve motor function in the lower limbs, ambulation and ability in the activities of daily living of hemiplegic patients after stroke.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the related evidence-based guidelines of purulent meningitis in children,and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment. METHODS:Retrieved from PubMed,EMBase,CBM,Wanfang Data-base,CJFD and VIP,NGC,GIN,TRIP and websites of domestic and international medical associations and industry bodies,the treatment guidelines about purulent meningitis in children were collected. Evidence-based evaluation was performed after data extrac-tion and quality evaluation. RESULTS:Finally 3 guidelines were enrolled in total,with development time ranging from 2004 to 2012,from USA,Britain and Australia,respectively. All of the recommendations were level B,scope and purpose and clarityshowed the higher scores in AGREEⅡ,more than 70%,and applicability showed generally low scores. Penicillin and cefotaxi-me were recommended in purulent meningitis of neonates,and vancomycin combined with cefotaxime or ceftriaxone were recom-mended for infants and children(it was combined with vancomycin when Streptococcus pneumoniae infection was suspected). The dose and duration of each guideline were certain different,and the period of treatment should be longer in neonates. In addition, the glucocorticoid was recommended in all guidelines. CONCLUSIONS:The recommendations of medicines for the treatment of pu-rulent meningitis are basically unanimous,with no regional difference,but there are some differences about dose and the course of treatment. In addition,the classification criteria of the levels of evidence and recommendation are still suboptimal,which needs fur-ther improvement. And guidelines on purulent meningitis should be improved inrigourandapplicabilityin future.

Objective To observe the effects of systems of progressive resistance exercise on lower limb extensors (quadriceps femoris) of stroke patients. Methods 89 stroke patients with weak lower limbs were randomly divided into progressive resistance exercise group (n=46) and control group (n=43), both receiving corresponding treatment for 4 weeks. They were assessed with Manual Muscle Test (MMT), integrated electromyogram (iEMG) and root mean square (RMS) of surface electromyography on quadriceps femoris before and after the treatment. Results The incidence of improvement with MMT was 94.3% in progressive resistance exercise group, and 63.8% in control group (P<0.01). The iEMG and RMS of the exercise group was significantly higher than that of the control (P<0.01). Conclusion The systems of progressive resistance exercise could improve the muscle strength of lower limbs extensors of stroke patients more effectively.

ObjectiveTo verify the reliability of the mouse model of cerebral cortical microinfarct induced by two-photon microscopy and to explore its pathological changes.MethodsSeventeen male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a microinfarct group (n=11) or a sham operation group (n=6).A thinned cranial window of 3 mm diameter was performed over the cerebral cortex with a high-speed micro-drill until the small blood vessels were clearly observed under a dissecting microscope.Then, a permanent single cortical penetrating arteriole occlusion was induced with a gradually enhanced ultrashort laser irradiation through the thinned cranial window with two-photon microscopy.At 7 days after modeling, the cerebral microinfarct volume was measured with HE staining, and the neuron loss, activation of glial cells and deposition of 3-nitrotyrosine were assessed using immunohistochemistry.ResultsThe target vessels of cerebral cortex in 8 (72.7%) mice were occluded and the microinfarcts formed in the microinfarct group, and the average microinfarct volume was 317.23±20.29 μm3.There were remarkable neuron loss and microglia infiltration in the infarcted core, a large number of reactive astrocytes surrounding the infarcted lesion, and massive deposition of 3-nitrotyrosine in the peri-infarct area.No infarcts were observed in the sham operation group.The deposition of 3-nitrotyrosine in the sham operation group was significantly less than that in the microinfarct group (8.00±1.48 vs.98.38±9.10;t=23.962, P<0.001).Conclusions The mouse model of cerebral cortical microinfarct induced by two-photon microscopy is reliable, and its histopathologic changes are consistent with the pathologic features of cerebral microinfarct.

Objective:To study the relationship between compartmental kneeosteoarthritis (KOA) and osteoporosis (OP).Methods:A total of 118 KOA patients with 50~80 years old and 16.5~38 of body mass index (BMI) were selected as the KOA group, in which the patient with OP caused by secondary factors were excluded. 42 patients who did not suffer from KOA who matched the age of patients in the KOA group were selected. The age, BMI, bone mineral density (BMD) and other data of the two groups of patients were collected. The correlation analysis between KOA and OP was conducted to determine the degree of correlation, so as to reveal the relationship between the incidence, progression, prognosis of KOA and OP.Results:BMD was correlated with BMI. BMD was negatively correlated with age. The incidence of KOA and OP was correlated with age. There is a large correlation between KOA and OP, and the probability of KOA associated with OP is high. For KOA patients, OP is less likely to be accompanied by a higher BMI, while OP is more likely to be accompanied by a lower BMI.Conclusions:OP is one of the pathogenic factors of KOA. KOA patients should be treated with anti-OP before and after surgery.
