Objective To investigate the effect of exercise therapy on I° adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Methods 70 cases with I°AIS were included. 32 patients correcting posture themselves for 0.5 year or above were as control group, and the other 38 cases who accepted exercise therapy for 0.5 year were as treatment group. Their X-ray of spine before and after treatment were compared. Results The Cobb's angle, rotation of the spine, and compensatory improved after treatment in the treatment group (P<0.01), but no significant improvement was obsereved in the control group after 0.5 year. Conclusion Exercise therapy is safe and effective on I° AIS.

Objective To explore the change of instant blood pressure after different rehabilitation exercises for stroke patients. Methods60 stroke patients were divided into Groups A, B and C. Group A raised both arms and ante flexed shoulders >70° in seat intermittently40～50 times in 3 minutes; Group B raised both arms and ante flexed shoulders >70° in seat continually for 3 minutes (isometric); Group Cwalked slowly more than 45 steps in 3 minutes. The brachial artery blood pressure and pulse of patients were monitored before and immediatelyafter training. Results The blood pressure of Group B raised significantly after training (P<0.05). Groups A and C did not raise significantlyafter training (P>0.05). The pulse of all the groups raised and there was no significant difference among them after training (P>0.05).Conclusion Continuous persistent isotonic contraction can cause elevation of blood pressure, which patients with hypertension should avoid.

In this paper, the antigens of both Vibrio cholerae on 55 strains of El Tor and on 28 strains obtained with genetical method were studied by ELISA method using 12 strains of McAb against Vibrio cholerae (VCOMcAb). The results indicated that the 55 strains of Vibrio cholerae El Tor were expressed 11(A-K) of the recognized antigenic determinants, and fell into XⅧ(Ⅰ-XⅧ) distinct McAb reactivity types or groups, and the 28 varients of Vibrio cholerae from genetical method were expressed 9 (A-Ⅰ) of the recognized antigenic determinants, and fell into Ⅹ (Ⅰ-Ⅹ) distinct McAb reactivity types or groups. From those VCOMcAbs, the “F3” could recognize all 55 strains of Vibrio cholerae El Tor, indicating it has specificity; other 11 strains of VCOMcAb have a variety of reactivity to antigens on the 55 strains of Vibrio cholerae El Tor in both Inaba and Ogawa and their percentages of reactivity are different. This shows that these strains may have subtypes or subgroups.

Objective:To analyze the molecular mechanism of Zhenqi Fuzheng Capsules in the adjuvant treatment of AIDS by network pharmacology method and molecular docking technology.Methods:The active components and targets of Zhenqi Fuzheng Capsules were obtained through TCMSP, and the AIDS-related targets were obtained through GeneCards, OMIM and DrugBank databases. The intersection target PPI network was constructed through STRING 11.5 database, and Cytoscape 3.9.1 software was used for network topology analysis; Metascape database was used for GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of core targets; Cytoscape 3.9.1 was used to construct Zhenqi Fuzheng Capsules component-target-pathway network; Autodock Tools software was used to carry out molecular docking of core targets and active components.Results:Totally 31 active components and 180 targets of Zhenqi Fuzheng Capsules were screened out. TNF, IL6, AKT1, IL1B, TP53, VEGFA, RELA, EGFR and CASP3 were identified as the core targets. GO functional enrichment analysis obtained 1 436 biological processes, 53 cellular components, and 117 molecular functions. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis obtained 167 pathways, which were related to pathways in cancer, AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications, and IL-17 signaling pathway was closely related. Molecular docking results showed that core targets such as AKT1 and TNF had good binding activity to quercetin, kaempferol, and luteolin.Conclusion:The main active components of Zhenqi Fuzheng Capsules in the adjuvant treatment of AIDS are quercetin, kaempferol and luteolin, which may treat AIDS through the IL-17 signaling pathway.

Although the mTOR-4E-BP1 signaling pathway is implicated in aging and aging-related disorders, the role of 4E-BP1 in regulating human stem cell homeostasis remains largely unknown. Here, we report that the expression of 4E-BP1 decreases along with the senescence of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Genetic inactivation of 4E-BP1 in hMSCs compromises mitochondrial respiration, increases mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and accelerates cellular senescence. Mechanistically, the absence of 4E-BP1 destabilizes proteins in mitochondrial respiration complexes, especially several key subunits of complex III including UQCRC2. Ectopic expression of 4E-BP1 attenuates mitochondrial abnormalities and alleviates cellular senescence in 4E-BP1-deficient hMSCs as well as in physiologically aged hMSCs. These f indings together demonstrate that 4E-BP1 functions as a geroprotector to mitigate human stem cell senescence and maintain mitochondrial homeostasis, particularly for the mitochondrial respiration complex III, thus providing a new potential target to counteract human stem cell senescence.
