Objective To investigate the incidence of spasticity 6 months after first stroke. Methods 355 patients hospitalized from March 2012 to December 2013 were assessed with the modified Ashworth Scale 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after stroke. Results The incidence of spasticity was 42.7% in the 1st month, and increased to 63.7% and 65.7% 3 and 6 months after stroke, respectively. The incidence of spasticity was the most 3 months after stroke both in arms and legs. The incidence of moderate to severe spasticity was more in the arms than in the legs. There was no significant difference at incidence of spasticity among foci and ages. Conclusion Spasticity usually occurs within 3 months after stroke, and more frequent in the upper limb than lower limb.

Objective To evaluate the effect of trimetazidine pretreatment on myocardial injury induced by propofol in rats.Methods Forty healthy Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 240-250 g,aged 2.5 months,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =10 each):fat emulsion group (group L),propofol group (group P),and different doses of trimetazidine groups (TL and TH groups).In group L,10％ fat emulsion was infused intravenously for 12 h at a rate of 30 mg·kg-1 ·h-1.In group P,1％ propofol was infused intravenously for 12 h at a rate of 30 mg·kg-1 ·h-1.In TL and TH groups,trimetazidine 2 and 5 mg/kg were injected intravenously,respectively,and 1.5 h later propofol was infused intravenously for 12 h at a rate of 30 mg·kg-1 ·h-1.At 6 and 12 h after beginning of administration,blood samples from the internal jugular vein were taken for determination of the levels of serum creatine kinase (CK),creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB (CK-MB),lactate dehydrogenase (LDH),α-hydroxybutyric acid dehydrogenase (α-HBDH),cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnⅠ),triglycerides (TG),low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL).After blood sampling at 12 h after beginning of administration,myocardial specimens were obtained for microscopic examination of the pathological changes with light and electron microscope.Results Compared with group L,the serum CK,CK-MB,LDH,α-HBDH,cTnⅠ and TG levels were significantly increased,HDL was decreased,and no significant changes were found in LDL concentrations in P and TL groups,and the serum TG,HDL and LDL were increased,and no significant changes were found in the other parameters in group TH.Compared with group P,the serum CK,CK-MB,LDH,α-HBDH,and cTnⅠ levels were significantly decreased in TL and TH groups,the serum TG level was increased in TL group,and the serum TG,HDL and LDL levels were increased in TH group.Compared with group TL,the serum CK,CK-MB,LDH,α-HBDH and cTnⅠ levels were significantly decreased,and the serum TG,HDL and LDL levels were increased in group TH.Conclusion Trimetazidine pretreatment can attenuate myocardial injury induced by propofol,but it induces increase in blood lipids.

Objective To investigate the compliableness and cardiac rehabilitation effect of application of the Android‐based cardiac rehabilitation risk assessment simulative software in the patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) .Methods A total of 150 discharge patients with CHD treated in the cardiology department of multiple hospitals in Guangzhou City from December 2014 to December 2015 were selected as the research subjects and divided into the observation group for applying the Android‐based car‐diac rehabilitation risk assessment software and control group according to the random number table ,75 cases in each group .The compliableness and cardiac rehabilitation effect after this software out‐of‐hospital application in the CHD patients were observed . Results Among 150 cases ,141 cases continued to follow up ,the follow up rate was 94 .0% ,including 72 cases in the observation group and 69 cases in the control group ,the re‐hospitalization rate and the standard‐reaching rate of blood pressure ,blood glucose and blood lipid in the observation group were superior to those in the control group with statistical difference (P<0 .05);the com‐pliableness of behaviors following doctor′s advice and comprehensive evaluation of living quality in the observation group were su‐perior to those in the control group ,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0 .05) .Conclusion The application of the Android‐based cardiac rehabilitation risk assessment software is an effective measure for out‐of‐hospital cardiac rehabilitation , which can increase the compliableness of cardiac rehabilitation in the CHD patients .

Objective To explore the construct validity of the Chinese version of Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnaire (KVIQ)-20 and KVIQ-10 in stroke patients and normal people. Methods From October, 2012, to March, 2014, 60 stroke patients and 60 nor-mal people with matched gender and age participated in this study. They were assessed with the Chinese version of KVIQ-20 and KVIQ-10. The construct validity was investigated with factor analysis. Results Two factors were extracted from KVIQ-20 for stroke patients after vari-max rotation, that accounted for 62.4%of the variance, as well as KVIQ-10 with 67.6%of the variance. Two factors were extracted from KVIQ-20 for normal people with 76.1%of the variance, as well as the KVIQ-10 with 69.6%of the variance. The factors could be named as visual imagery and kinesthetic imagery. Conclusion The Chinese version of KVIQ-20 and KVIQ-10 has good construct validity for assess-ing motor imagery from the dimensions of visual imagery and kinesthetic imagery, both in patients with stroke and normal people.

90%).The expression of CXCR4 receptor was 74.8%.The migration cells of control,10,20 and 50 ?g/L were 3.5,7.4,24.9 and 28.0,respectively.The migration activity was significantly higher in SDF-1 group than that of control group(P

Objective To observe the effects of electroacupuncture at Zusanli (ST36) on lower limbs motor function in patients with stroke. Methods 63 patients were evenly randomized into electroacupuncture group and control group. All the patients received routine rehabilitation training and at the same time,patients in electroacupuncture group, received electroacupuncture at zusanli (ST36). They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (lower limb, hip, knee and ankle), gait analysis (gait frequency, gait speed and step length of both sides) and lower limb Composite Spasm Scale (CSS) before and after treatment. Results The scores of Fugl-Meyer Measure, gait analysis, and CSS improved in both groups, and more significantly in electroacupuncture group. Conclusion Electroacupuncture at zusanli (ST36) can significantly improved lower limb motor function without worsening the spasm.

Objective: To study the action of kangfuxin solution on the experimental gastric ulcer.Methods: The rat gastric ulcer models induced by the ligated pylorus and burned acetic acid, the gastric moucosa injury model induced by the absolute ethyl alcohol were used.Results: Kanfuxin solution possessed the protective action on the rat gastric ulcer model induced by the ligated pylorus and rat gastic mucosa injury model induced by the absolute ethyl alcohol, but didn't affect the rat gastric ulcer model induced by burned acetic acid. Conclusion: Kangfuxin Solution also has the actions of inhibiting the output of gastric acid and pepsin.
