Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2004;10(4):231-232
ObjectiveTo evaluate two "up and down stair" methods used by hemiplegic patients.Methods40 cases with hemiplegia were randomly divided into two groups with 20 cases in each group. Patients in the group A went upstairs with health leg and downstairs with affected leg, while, patients in the group B upstairs with affected leg, downstairs with health leg, and then up and down stairs with health and affected leg alternated. Effects of two training menthods were compared.ResultsEach of two training methods had its advantage and disadvantage, but motor function and mobile ability of patients in the group B were better than patients in the group A (P<0.05).ConclusionHemiplegic patients Should choose different training method of up and down stairs according to his status, and not always choose the method of going upstairs with health leg and downstairs with affected leg.
4.Brucella orchitis: A retrospective study of 69 cases.
National Journal of Andrology 2016;22(1):46-51
OBJECTIVETo investigate the epidemiological characteristics, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of Brucella orchitis, so as to provide reliable evidence for the prevention and treatment of the disease.
METHODSWe conducted retrospective statistical analyses on the medical records of 48 outpatients and 21 inpatients with Brucella orchitis.
RESULTSBrucella orchitis was diagnosed in 6.67% of the male patients with brucellosis (69/1 034). The disease exhibited typical epidemiological features, with a higher incidence rate among those in frequent contact with sheep and elderly people, in the period from April to July, and in the areas with sheep husbandry. All the Brucella orchitis patients had such local symptoms as testicular pain and swelling, more frequently involving both testes, and other most common symptoms included fever, chills, sweating, and painful joints. Based on IIEF-5, 45 of the patients suffered from severe erectile dysfunction, with their reproductive function temporarily affected in the course of the disease. Misdiagnosis easily occurred in the early stage of the disease. Therapeutic options mainly included doxycycline hydrochloride and rifampicin, administered orally or intravenously, which could effect a cure, though relapse might occur in some cases.
CONCLUSIONBru- cella orchitis has distinct epidemiological characteristics, with clinical manifestations of testicular pain and swelling. Though a transient disease, it affects the reproductive function of the patient before cured. It can be treated by combined oral and intravenous medication, with painkillers or ice bags for testicular pain and swelling.

Objective To observe the antibacterial activity of artificial antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) to Blastomyces albicans, E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus in oral infection in vitro. Methods The AMPs were dissolved into PBS or sterilized saliva, then the inhibi-tion of different concentration AMPs to E. coil was evaluated by tube testing. The inhibition effect of different concentration of AMPs to Staph-ylococcus aureus and Blastomyces albicans were evaluated by antibiotic-susceptive test paper. Results When the concentration of AMPs added to broth of E. coli is from 150μmol/L to 300μmol/L , the bacterium count is 0 while the number in control is 6700 ~ 9200cfu/ml. At 100μg/tablet AMPs, the diameter of inhibitor zones of Staphylococcus aureus and Blastomyces albicans are 13mm and 11 mm. At 300μg/ tablet, the diameter are 16 mm and 17mm. AMPs dissolved in PBS and saliva have similar antimicrobial activity. Gonclusions The AMPs is effective to prevent Blastomyces albicans, E. coli and Staphylococcus aurcus in oral infection in vitro.

This study was aimed to carry out pharmacological research on the hemostatic activity and mechanism of Yi medicine Ma-Bu (Paris polyphylla Smith var stenophylla Franch.). One kind of C27 steroidal saponin from P. polyphylla Smith var stenophylla Franch. was isolated and identified as Paris saponin H (PSH). The effect of PSH on the index of bleeding time (BT), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and fibrinogen (FIB) of mice were measured. The results showed that PSH have significant hemostatic activity by shortening BT. The effect of PSH on shortening PT and APTT of mouse was not significant. However, the FIB was enhanced significantly after treatment with PSH. It was concluded that PSH had no significant promoting effect on the extrinsic coagulation pathway (ECP) or the intrinsic coagulation pathway (ICP). The enhancement of FIB may be a pathway for the effect of hemostatic activity by PSH.
