Objective To study the effect of surface electromyogram-triggered electrical stimulation on lower limb function in hemiplegic stroke patients. Methods Thirty hemiplegic stroke patients were divided into a treatment group ( 15 cases) and a control group ( 15 cases). Both groups were given conventional rehabilitation training.Additionally, the treatment group was given surface electromyogram-triggered electrical stimulation training, while the control group was given common low frequency electrical stimulation. Brunnstrom's recovery stages, the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) and electromyographic parameters were assessed before and after 3 courses of treatment. Results After treatment both groups had significantly higher Brunnstrom and FMA scores and better integrated electromyograms(iEMG), but the effects in the treatment group were significantly better than in the control group. Conclusions Surface electromyogram-triggered electrical stimulation training can provide satisfactory rehabilitation of lower limb function in hemiplegic stroke patients.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of dysplasia in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS),and identify the risk factors for evolution of MDS to acute leukemia.Methods According to the WHO criterion 2008 of MDS,98 cases were included.As the characteristics of dysplasia,cell morphology,cytogenetics and flow cytometry were analyzed in these patients.Results To the last follow-up,27 of 98 patients transformed to acute myeloid leukemia,including M2 (15 cases),M4 (10 cases),M6 (2 cases).Patients with abnormal Pelger-Hu(e)t had significantly higher risk for evolution of MDS to leukemia,when compared to those without Pelger-Hu(e)t (23/67 vs 4/36,x2 =4.87,P =0.03).Auer corpuscle and small nuclear pathological were also the risk factors of developing to leukemia (19/37 vs 8/61,x2 =16.87,P =0.000; 21/57vs 6/46,x2 =9.14,P =0.003,respectively).37 patients died,the median suvival time was 26 months (95 % CI 13-38) for patients with abnorrnal Pelger-Hu(e)t,19 months (95 % CI 11-26) for patients with Auer corpuscle,13 months (95 % CI 6-19) for patients with small nuclear pathology,respectively (x2 =11.05,13.04,21.05,P =0.001,0.000,0.000).Conclusion Abnormal Pelger-Hu(e)t,Auer corpuscle and small nuclear pathology are indentified as the risk factors for evolution of MDS to leukemia,and they are the infavorable predictors of survival.

AIM:To investigate the immunomodulatory effect of astragalus saponin(AS)on macrophages and explore the mechanism of its immunomodulation.METHODS:By adding different concentrations of AS into cultured mouse peritoneal macrophages in vitro,the influence of AS on the synthesis of nitro oxide(NO)was detected by NO kit(enzymatic method).MTT assay was used to determine the cytotoxicity of macrophages induced by AS.The morphological changes of macrophages were observed under transmission electron microscope.LSCM and specificity fluorescent probe Fluo-3/AM were applied to observe the change of Ca2+ in macrophages induced by AS.RESULTS:AS significantly increased NO synthesis,enhanced the effects of mouse peritoneal macrophages on killing carcinoma cells.Cell surface projection exhibited multiplication,becoming thickening and growth longer via transmission electron microscope.Increase in intracellular Ca2+ in macrophages was also observed.CONCLUSION:AS enhances the immune function of macrophages by increasing NO synthesis and enhancing cytotoxicity.The increased intracellular Ca2+ may be the mechanism of immunomodulatory effect of AS.

Objective To observe the influencing factors of recurrence and metastasis for postoperative breast cancer high-risk population, and TCM regimen of syndrome differentiation and treatment was used to validate its significance for the prevention of recurrence and metastasis. Methods The influencing factors of recurrence and metastasis of 178 postoperative breast cancer high-risk cases with positive hormone receptor were studied. The recurrence and metastasis, disease-free survival and accumulative points of TCM symptoms of integrated group (with TCM syndrome differentiation and endocrine therapy) and western medicine group (with endocrine therapy) were compared. Results Lymph node metastasis, cancer staging and TCM therapy had influence on the disease-free survival rate of postoperative breast cancer high-risk patients. TCM therapy was the independent prognostic factor for disease-free survival. 3-year recurrence and metastasis rate was lower in integrated group than that in western medicine group, with statistical difference (P=0.03). The total accumulative points of TCM symptoms in both two groups decreased after treated for 3 and 6 months, integrated group showed greater significance. TCM therapy was better for the treatment of irritability, hot flash and perspiration, good for spontaneous perspiration and insomnia, but poor in dry mouth, bitter taste in mouth and fatigue. Conclusion Lymph node metastasis, cancer staging and TCM therapy are main influencing factors for recurrence and metastasis. TCM therapy with regimen of syndrome differentiation and treatment can reduce 3-year recurrence and metastasis rate, improve TCM symptoms, especially is significant for the improvement of irritability, hot flash and perspiration.

Objective To explore the clinical features of drug hypersensitivity syndrome(DHS). Method Retrospective analysis of 18 cases of DHS was made in detail including clinical situation, laboratory examination, treatment instance,duration and prognosis. Results The earliest symptoms of all patients were skin rash and fever, which occurred in 2 to 8 weeks after the administration of the drugs, accompanied with superficial lymphadenopathy in 13 patients, liver dysfunction in 14 patients, renal impairment in 11 patients, leukocytosis in 13 patients and eosinophilia in 10 patients. The skin lesions were multiform. The common eruption was purpura-like erythemas, accompanied with swelling and repeated desquamation. The suspected drugs were as follows: allopurinol in 11 cases, carbamazepine in 4 cases, phenytoin in 2 cases and minocycline in 1 case. Corticosteroid was the first line of treatment Conclusions DHS is a clinical syndrome to have characteristic symptom and a relatively severe disease. It is crucial to discontinue the suspected drugs promptly and to start sufficient dose of corticosteroid.

Objective To investigate the inducible ability of plasmid DNA carrying a RU486 regulatory system.Methotis Plasmid pRS22 containing RU486 regulatory system,liver specific promoter and transgene IL-12 was injected into mice by hydrodynamic injection.RU486 was injected intraperitoneally into mice at difierent time points after plasmid administration.The IL-12 1evel in serum was tested by an ELISA kit.The distribution and inducible expression of pRS22 in mice were assayed by measuring DNA,RNA and protein levels by PCR,RT-PCR and immunohistochemical staining.Resuits To determine the duration of the activity of plasmid pRS22,mice injected with 10μg of pRS22 were treated repeatedly with 250μg/kg of RU486 per 7 days after hydrodynamic injection of plasmid.IL-12 expression in serum abruptly increased to peak was detected at 10 h after induction and declined to baseline on day 6.Though peak values of IL-12 decreased gradually after each induction,IL-12 in serum could be induced until 15 weeks after plasmid administration.A total of 5μg of pRS22 was injected into mice to detect the effect of different induction manners on the IL-12 expression.The mice were treated with RU486 per day or per 2 days iil 6 days,respectively.The induction per 2 days resulted in a wavelike pattern of serum IL-12 expression with peak lev-els on the day of induction alternating with lower values on the following day.In contrast,sustained levels of IL-12 could be achieved by administering RU486 per day.Plasmid DNA and GLp65 mRNA were detected in liver of mice with or without RU486 until at least day 28 after plasmid administration.However,IL-12 p35 mRNA was detected only in the liver of mice with RU486 induction.IL-12 immunohistochemical staining in liver demonstrated that IL-1 2 expressed predominantly in the hepatocytes near the surface of liver or between the central vein and portal area after induction with RU486.In contrast,no IL-12 expression was observed in the hepatocytes after induction with sesame oil.Conclusion Tight temporal and spatial control of transgene IL-12 expression could be achieved by RU486 regulatory system driven by liver specific promoter.
