The respiratory control ratio (RCR), the rate of O2 consumption in state 3 and the rate of ATP formation of liver mitochondria succinate respiratory chain were increased 30 min after Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with epinephnne or norepinephrine. The rate of O2 consumption in state 4 was increased or slightly increased. When rats were injected with adrenergic blocking agents, timolol and phenoxybenzamine, 1 h before burn, the activities of succinate respiratory chain were partly inhibited 30 min post-burn. All the results suggest that catecholamines play a main role in the increase of oxidative phosphorylation coupling in the early phase of burn injury.

Objective To investigate the treatment and clinical outcomes in developmental dislocation of the hip in chil?dren above 8 years old. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the results of operation treatment for developmental dislocation of the hip in 94 children (112 hips) from 2006 to 2012. The age of the patients ranged from 8.2 to 13.6 years at the time of treatment, with an average age 9.8 years. In 94 patients, there are 18 males and 76 females. The patients were classified into three group based on the age at time of operation:Group 8-9 years old, Group 10-11 years old, Group 12-13 years old. The dislocation of hip was classified by T?nnis classification system:gradeⅡ34 hips, gradeⅢ29 hips, gradeⅣ49 hips. Surgery was performed in all the patients. The procedures consisted of open reduction of the hip, capsulorraphy, shortening and derotational osteotomy of proxi?mal femur, and acetabular osteotomy which include Pemberton osteotomy (66 hips), Salter osteotomy (30 hips), Ganz osteotomy (3 hips), Triple osteotomy (5 hips) and Chiari osteotomy (8 hips). McKay and Severin modified criteria were used to assess the func?tion and radiographic results of the hip. Results The average follow?up was 2.3 years ranged from 1 to 7 years. According to McKay modified criteria at final follow?up, 75 hips (67%) had excellent (22 hips) and good (53 hips) clinical results, 32 hips (29%) were fair and 5 hips (4%) were poor. According to the Severin criteria, the outcomes of T?nnis grade Ⅳgroup was significantly worse than T?nnis gradeⅡ,Ⅲgroup. There is no significant differences between T?nnisⅡandⅢtype groups. If the patients were classified by age at time of operation, the function of group 8-9 years old was significantly better than others group according to the McKay criteria; the group 12-13 years old was significantly worse than others group according to Severin criteria. Conclu?sion Open reduction with proximal femoral osteotomy and acetabular osteotomy was an effective procedure for the treatment of developmental dislocation of the hip in children above 8 years old. The surgical results were related to the age at time of treatment and T?nnis classification system; low dislocation (T?nnis Ⅱ, Ⅲ) and young age (younger than 10 years old) had better function and radiographic results compared with high dislocation (T?nnisⅣ) and elder age group.

Objective To explore the effects of walking in water on surface electromyography (sEMG) of lower limbs and neural func-tion in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. Methods From June, 2014 to May, 2016, 42 patients with incomplete thoracolumbar SCI were di-vided into control group (n=21) and experimental group (n=21) randomly. All the patients accepted routine rehabilitation, while the experi-mental group accepted extra walking in water. Average electromyography (AEMG) of quadriceps femoris and tibialis anterior muscles was measured, and the motor and sense function was assessed with American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Classification before and six weeks after treatment. Results The AEMG (t>5.763, P<0.01) and the scores of motor and sense (t>10.871, P<0.001) increased in both groups after treatment, and increased more in the experimental group than in the control group (t>4.036, P<0.01). Conclusion Walking in water could further improve lower limbs muscle strength and neural function in patients with incomplete thoracolumbar SCI.
