Objective To introduce the Chinese version of short Falls Efficacy Scale International (short FES-I) and test its reliability and validity in patients with cerebral infarction. Methods The English version and the traditional Chinese version of short FES-I were ob-tained from the Prevention of Falls Network Europe, and the simplified Chinese version was developed after a further revision. A sample of 105 inpatients with cerebral infarction from December 2014 to May 2015 were recruited from 2 tertiary hospitals in Tianjin. They were in-vestigated with the simplified Chinese version of short FES-I, modified Falls Efficacy Scale (MFES), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). At the same time, the laboratory indexes of the patients were collected. Results The Cronbach'sαcoefficient of short FES-I was 0.98 and the score of short FES-I was negatively correlated with MFES (r=-0.41, P<0.001). Short FES-I was correlated wtih GAD-7 score (r=0.52, P<0.001), PHQ-9 score (r=0.46, P<0.001) and the level of C reaction protein (r=0.21, P=0.032), but uncorrelated with other laboratory indexes (P>0.05). There was significant difference in the score of short FES-I be-tween the patients with or without falling. Conclusion Short FES-I is valid and internal consistant, and can be used as an assessment tool to screen fear of falling among patients with cerebral infarction.

Objective To explore and assess NiTi shape memory alloys stent intraeustachian tube placement prevent and treat adhesive otitis media. Methods The patients were divided into 3 groups (A:56 cases of adhesive otitis media, B:27 cases of otitis media with effusion, C:52 cases as control). In all cases of eustachian orifices were inspected by endoscope. 2 autopsy eustachian tubes were dissected. NiTi shape memory alloys stent intraeustachian tube plasment was perfomed in 8 cases to prevent and treat adhesions of middle ear with seld-designed . Results The eustachian orifice can be divided into three types: wide, narrow and fissure like instolle. In group A, wide, narrow, fissure like showed 20, 31, 5; respectively in group B: 9, 13, 5; in group C: 45, 7, 0. There was significant difference in three gorup (A,B, versus C ? 2=29.66,25.44 respectively, P0.05). Autopsy of eustachian tube: cartilage length was 30 mm, trapeziform, floor width was 11 mm, tip width was 4 mm. 4 cases of adhesive otitis media gained good ventilation as during valsalva method with audiometry promotion 15-30 dB after NiTi shape memory alloys stent placements. Two of 4 cases of otitis media with refractory effusion, gained A-B gap close, follow up over 12 months; the other was good at valslva's and gave up ventilation tube. Eight case had no patulous and any side-effect after NiTi shape memory alloys placement. Conclusions Adhesive otitis media can be prevented and treated by placing NiTi shape memory alloys stent with no patulous or other side-effect.

Objective To investigate the status and influencing factors of fear of falling (FOF) in patients with first ever cerebral infarction. Methods A sample of 105 inpatients with cerebral infarction were recruited from two tertiary hospitals in Tianjin (Tianjin Huanhu Hospital, the First Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of TCM) to complete this research. They were investigated with the simplified Chinese version of Falls Efficacy Scale International-short (FES-Is), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Barthel Index Rating Scale (BI) and Functional Ambulation Category Scale (FAC). Results The total score of FES-Is was 15.38±7.45. Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that age, marital status, fall history, walking ability and anxiety were important factors of FOF. Conclusions Clinical staff should guide the patients with first cerebral infarction especially who had a history of falling to take active and effective measures to deal with their FOF, and pay more attention on patients who was elderly, without a spouse, assisted walking and anxiety, to release their FOF, prevent the falling and promote the functional recovery of patients.

Aims To establish the methods of primary culture of fibroblast-like synoviocytes in rats with adju-vant arthritis(AA-FLS)and analyze the feature and to investigate the possibility of AA-FLS as the model for the RA in vitro.Methods The synovial cells obtained from the SD rats were immunized by the Mtb and iden-tified by morphology and immunocytochemistry.The viability of AA-FLS was assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8.ELISA was applied to detect TNF-αand IL-1 βin cell media. Apoptosis was measured by Hochest 33258.The expressions of mitochondrial apoptosis-re-lated molecules,including Bcl-2,Bax,Pro-caspase-3 and Cleave-caspase-3 were determined by Western Blot.Result In isolated primary synovial cells,more
than 95% of AA-FLSs were fusiform.Immunocyto-chemistry result showed a positive expression of vimen-tin and a negative expression of CD68 in AA-FLS.Cell proliferation of AA-FLS was higher than FLS and cell apoptosis of AA-FLS was curbed.Western blot data demonstrated that the protein expressions of Bcl-2,Bax were regulated and the expression of caspase-3 was ac-tivated in AA-FLS.Conclusions AA-FLS is biologi-cally characterized by high level proliferation activity and inflammatory cytokines and apoptosis suppression. AA-FLS can be used as the model for the RA in vitro.

The purpose of this study was to develop a robotic system for image-guided percutaneous interventions using ultrasound (US) or computed tomography (CT) for needle biopsy, ablation, cryotherapy, and other needle procedures. The conventional operation of puncture was analyzed firstly, and a compact robot was then designed for manipulating a needle or other slender surgical instrument in the confined space. Its distinctive characteristic is the decoupled motion capability correlated to the positioning and orientation steps of the percutaneous intervention. This approach allowed each step of the intervention to be performed using a separate mechanism of the robot. One major advantage of this kinematic approach was patient safety.

BACKGROUND: Schwann calls are seed cells for constructing tissue engineered peripheral nerves. But their in vitro isolation, culture and purification are difficult. Acellular nerve allografts (ANA) have a great effect on repairing peripheral nerve defects, and it can induce marrow stromal cells (MSCs) into Schwann-like calls. Accordingly, MSCs can be used as seed calls theoretically in constructing tissue engineered peripheral nerves, instead of Schwann cells OBJECTIVE: To observe the repairing effect of tissue engineered peripheral nerves constructed with MSCs on sciatic nerve defects and to assess the feasibility of repairing peripheral nerve defects with MSCs as seed calls. DESIGN, TIME AND SE'I-rlNG: A randomized control animal experiment was conducted in the laboratory of Basic Medicine Collage of Dali Collage from July to December in 2008.MATERIALS: A total of 30 SD rats were divided randomly into 3 groups, with 10 in each group. In MSCs+ ANA group, end-to-end anastomosis were performed with 10/0 non traumatic suture to broken ends of rat sciatic nerves and tissue engineered nerves cultured using MSCs combined with ANA; In ANA group, ANA were bridged to broken ends of sciatic nerves; In METHODS: The 10ram sciatic nerve defects in rats were repaired using MSCs-constructed tissue engineered peripheral nerves, whose repairing effects were evaluated at week 12 post transplant through sciatic function index (SFI), gastrocnemius wet weight recovery rate, S-100 immunohistochemical staining and electron microscope observation, etc. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Morphological changes of calls were observed during the culture of compounds; SFI and gastrocnemius wet weight recovery rates were detected after transplantation; New myelinization, axon growth and nerve fiber distdbuUon were observed with toluidine blue staining; Schwann calls growth and nerve fiber regeneration were observed with transmission electron microscope combined with S-100 protein immunohistochemical staining method.RESULTS: The detection results showed that SFI and gastrocnemius wet weight recovery rate were higher in the MSCs+ ANA group than in the ANA group (P < 0.05). Compared the ANA group, the MSCs+ ANA group had more S-100 proteins expressed in its compounds obviously, and the number, the diameter of its myelinated nerve fibers as well as its myelin sheath thickness were all greater than those of the ANA group (P < 0.05). The repairing effect of the MSCs+ ANA group was close to that of the autotransplantation group.CONCLUSION: MSCs-constructed tissue engineered nerves have a better effect on repairing peripheral nerve defects than ANA, and MSCs as seed cells have a high value in peripheral nerve tissue engineering.
