Objective To investigate the effect of EGB on SOD, MDA of ventilator-induced lung injury in rats and its possible mechanisms. Methods Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group (C group), high tidal ventilation group (H group) and EGB group (E group). The setting mechanical ventilation was VT=30 mL/kg, RR=40/min, I/E=1/3, PEEP=0 cmH2 O and FiO2=21%. The broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BLAF) and serum were obtained for determination of the levels of SOD and MDA at the end of 4 h mechanical ventilation. The Lungs were removed, and the wet-to-dry weight ratio (W/D) and pulmonary pathologic changes were measured. Results As compared with C group, W/D and the levels of MDA were significantly increased in H group, but the levels of SOD were reduced in H group. As compared with H group, W/D and the levels of MDA were significantly decreased in E group, but the levels of SOD were increased in E group. Pulmonary pathologic changes were alleviated in E group comparing with H group. Conclusion EGB injection may have a protective role against hyperoxia and induced pulmonary damage in rats.

Objective To investigate the effect of hypertonic saline on TNF-а, IL-1β, S-100β level following focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats and explore the mechanisms involved. Methods Ninety rats were randomized equally into 4 groups,namely the pseudo-operated group (A group),untreated IR injury group (B group),C group (4.2% hypertonic saline) and D group (7.5% hypertonic saline). Cerebral ischemia was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion for 2 h followed by administration of the corresponding treatments in group C and D. After 22 h of reperfusion , TNF-а, IL-1β, S-100βexpression in the ischemic brain tissue were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results After hypcrtonic saline treatment, the two saline-treated groups showed significant reduction in TNF-а、IL-1β、S-100β levels , but were still higher than pseudo-operated group(A group). Compared with B group, significant difference can be seen among C and D group. Conclusion Hypcrtonic saline can reduce cerebral TNF-а、IL-1β、S-100βlevel of isehemia-reperfusion injury.

Objective:To investigate the stiffness characteristic of triple-negative human breast cancer at different size in a implantation nude female mice model using shear wave elastography(SWE) and to compare the clinical pathologic features of tumors with elasticity variables.Methods:Human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells were injected into 30 nude female mice and 27 transplanted tumors were successfully found in nude female mice. Ultrasound and SWE were longitudinally performed on maximum diameter plane of 21 tumours in 21 nude mice. The elastic parameters of maximal elasticity(Emax), mean elasticity (Emean) and standard deviation of elasticity(Esd) were recorded. The mice were divided into 3 groups according to the tumor size. They were group A with tumor size less than or equal to 5 mm, group B with tumor size greater than 5 mm and less than or equal to 10 mm, group C with tumor size larger than 10 mm and smaller than or equal to 15 mm. Compared with pathology, the relationships between Ki67 of transplanted tumor and elastic parameters were analyzed.Results:As the transplanted tumors increased, the values of Emax, Esd, Ki67 all increased. The lesions maximal size, Emax, Esd, Ki67 were significant higher in group B ( P<0.001, P=0.006, P=0.002, P=0.026) and group C ( P<0.001, P<0.001, P<0.001, P=0.028) than group A. The other parameters were not significantly different among the groups(all P>0.05). The size of transplanted tumors was significantly and positively correlated with Emax ( rs=0.673, P=0.001), Esd ( rs=0.661, P=0.001), and Ki67 ( rs=0.509, P=0.018). Conclusions:SWE Emax and Esd can reflect the tumor tissue stiffness change and biological activity during the tumor growth.

Objective To study the relationships between the standing balance and walking ability of hemiplegic stroke survivors.Methods Eighty-eight post-stroke hemiplegic patients who could walk independently for more than 10 metres were selected into a patient group,while 88 healthy counterparts were recruited into a control group.Descriptors of the gait and balance function of both groups were collected using a gait and balance training and evahuation apparatus (Model:AL-600).The gait parameters were step width,walking speed,step length asymmetry (SLA),swing time asymmetry (SWTA) and stand time asymmetry (STA).The balance parameters studied were total trajectory length of the center of plantar pressure (COPD),the average left and right deviation of the center of plantar pressure (COPD-X) and the average anterio-posterior deviation of the center of plantar pressure (COPD-Y).Differences in indexes of gait and balance function between the two groups were analyzed using t-tests,and the relationships between the gait and balance indicators were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficients.Results The walking speed,step width,COPD,COPD-X,COPD-Y,SLA,SWTA and STA of the patient group [(37.64± 18.29)cm/s,(14.45±4.17)cm,(66.75±29.04)cm,(2.04±1.41)cm,(2.48±1.28)cm,(1.30±0.46),(1.65±0.67) and (1.18±0.16),respectively] all increased significantly more compared to the control group [(90.76±14.72)cm/s,(8.70±2.62) cm,(27.84±6.54) cm,(1.30±0.53) cm,(1.68±0.40) cm,(1.07±0.06),(1.07±0.08) and (1.05±0.06),respectively],though the walking speed was significantly slower than that in the control group (P<0.05).The patient group's average COPD-X showed slightly and moderately negative correlation with their walking speed,step width,SLA and SWTA (P<0.05).COPD-Y was weakly related with step width (P<0.05).Conclusion The standing balance of hemiplegic patients after stroke is related to their walking speed,step width and gait asymmetry.Especially significant correlation is observed between standing balance parameters such as COPD-X and gait parameters.
